So Cruel? (3)

Ruan Ning nodded, followed Cheng Jili to the west gate of the community, and saw Cheng Jikuan as expected.

The candlelight was dim last night, so Ruan Ning couldn’t see him clearly.

It was only during the day that she realized that this man had a colder face and a stronger aura than she thought.

Except that there was an out-of-place elderly three-wheeled bicycle with a carriage next to him.

She didn’t know where he got it from, but today he became a car owner, standing at the gate and being envious of others.

Ruan Ning was also envious. She had already thought of stocking up on bicycles, but why didn’t she think about stocking up on tricycles?

It could also pull goods.

Probably because he received Ruan Ning’s envious look, Cheng Jikuan calmly explained: “I went to buy it in the morning. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to buy things.”

Ruan Ning gave a thumbs up: “Brilliant.”

She paused: “What should we buy now?”

Cheng Jikuan said: “Let’s buy water first. I know there is a water station nearby. They usually deliver bottled water to our area, but now we have to drag it back ourselves. Each person is limited to two barrels.”

Ruan Ning was stunned: “Is there a purchase limit?”

Cheng Jikuan nodded: “Well, not only water purchases are restricted, but also purchases in supermarkets will be restricted later.”

Ruan Ning was amazed. The government’s response was really fast, otherwise, the whole city would have gone crazy.

Seeing that Ruan Ning did not object to the itinerary, Cheng Jikuan got on the tricycle and then turned to look at the two of them: “You guys can sit in the back compartment.”

Ruan Ning: “…”

Cheng Jikuan said: “Otherwise, our speed is too slow. I will take you, so it will be a little faster.”

Ruan Ning no longer objected and sat in the one-meter-long carriage with Cheng Jili. Although it had a bit of a rustic feel, it was much better than walking.

Especially after seeing people carrying large and small bags on the sidewalk and holding mineral water as if they were fleeing with their families.

The road was full of scrapped cars. Because of the sudden incident, many vehicles collided with each other, and the front or rear of the car was damaged.

The scene was shocking.

This was still a suburb where there didn’t have many people. She didn’t know what the city center had become.

The water station was not far from the community, so the three people arrived quickly.

Because most people were now working hard in the supermarket, there were not many people at the water station.

After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, the three of them took out their ID cards and bought two barrels each according to the purchase limit.

On the way back, Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili could only walk, but it was good. At least, they didn’t have to carry heavy objects.

Arriving below the building, Cheng Jikuan said: “We carry the water up in two rounds. One person needs to keep an eye on the water downstairs. I will carry two buckets and Jili will carry one bucket. Miss Ruan, you will keep watch downstairs for one round first, and then we will go up together after the two of us go downstairs again.”

Ruan Ning said quickly: “Why is this so embarrassing?”

Cheng Jikuan didn’t say anything.

Cheng Jili quickly said, “Don’t be embarrassed, Ning Ning. I’m originally from a sports background. I can carry a bucket of water easily. Just wait downstairs.”

Ruan Ning was surprised.

A beautiful woman with such a good figure was not a dancer, but a sportsperson?

“What do you study?” Ruan Ning asked curiously.

Cheng Jili made an aiming and shooting gesture with both hands: “Shoot.”

She retracted her hands and said shyly: “But, my results are average. I only participated in the national competition this year. My brother has already participated in the World Championships and won a medal.”

Ruan Ning was already stunned and blinked: “Which shooting are you talking about?”

Cheng Jikuan interrupted the chat between the two girls: “You guessed it right. It’s the shooting you were thinking of. Jili, let’s go upstairs first.”

As he spoke, he took out the chain lock from the tricycle carriage and locked the tires.

But, Ruan Ning only had one thought in her mind at this time: d*mn, d*mn, d*mn.

    Aha. Not a bad pair to team up with. I assume firearms, not archery, but still…I suppose a nail gun has some similarities…

    The author is trying hard, but IRL people aren’t going to listen to a govt mandate when it comes to survival (though at this point most ppl probably haven’t realized the danger). Besides which, with all communications and vehicles down, exactly how did word of these mandates get disseminated to the public, and who is enforcing them? Even if a govt moved quickly, if they can’t communicate easily they can’t do anything.
