Chapter 504 Chaos in the Building
"What can there be downstairs? They are all so poor!"
"No, that's not what I'm talking about," the person who made the suggestion swallowed his saliva, his eyes flashing with madness, "Have you forgotten that there is a small shop on the 28th floor?"
The people at the scene were delighted.
But there were also timid ones who said, "I'm afraid it won't work. What if there is an administrator on that floor? If they get caught—"
"What can I do?"
He was speechless when asked.
"Look, since there won't be any big problems, why not take him down? Call more people and let's go down together. Can we send everyone down to the mine?"
And considering the current living environment, it might be safer to go down into the mines.
The key point is that meals are provided.
When everyone thought about it, they felt it made sense and went to the alleys to persuade every household.
They also found Anjiu.
She said, "Okay, I'll pack up and come over."
Then she closed the door and listened to the noisy footsteps gradually fading away, and the corridor gradually became quiet.
She leaned against the window and looked down, with no intention of following him down.
There were so many people going there and the store was so small, it was so noisy that you couldn't necessarily grab anything.
And although they may seem to be companions now, they will be competitors once they get downstairs.
She has no shortage of supplies in her space for the time being, so there is no need for her to wade into this muddy water. If it were in the past, she would definitely have to make a trip.
Besides, Boss Zhang is no ordinary person. He must have his own judgment on risks to be able to open a store and do business.
The material resources in the building have been tight for so long, and now the external environment is full of uncertainties. Perhaps the small shops have already closed down to avoid risks.
It is likely that these people will return empty-handed.
The small shop was situated near the center, and no sound could be heard at the window, but her purpose was to observe the barrier.
Since the abyss appeared, the barrier has existed for 24 hours.
Of the group of men who were called to work in the mines, except for a part who were sent back, the rest have not been seen since then.
From this, we can also see how much crystal resources are needed to maintain the barrier.
But I guess the authorities are scolding Tingbai Group for its despicable tactics day and night.
Anjiu and grandma just hope they can hold on.
Two hours later, the people who had gone to the small shops to grab supplies came back.
What Anjiu didn't expect was that everyone actually gained something.
Old friends came in with injuries all over their bodies and limping.
Even though his face was swollen like a pig's head, it couldn't hide the joy that came from his heart.
"I grabbed several boxes of this this time. Xiaojiu, you've been to school, can you help me see what's written on it? Can I eat it?"
Anjiu took it and looked at it. "It's a biscuit. It's edible. The small shop is still open?"
"No, it's closed." She happily stuffed the biscuits into her pocket, "Someone broke the glass and then went in. There weren't many things on the shelves. I fought hard to grab a few bags. There were many people who didn't get any!
"I'll leave you a pack as your medicine fee for the next few days. Even though it's not much, it's a token of my appreciation."
Grandma quickly stuffed it back into her pocket, blocked her hand and said, "There are only a few in total, keep it for yourself. We are old friends, so don't worry about it."
Anjiu helped several other grandmothers look at the product boxes. After finding out that they were all edible, she couldn't help but laugh even though her wounds were painful.
"Xiaojiu, you said you went to another world to collect supplies. Didn't you just rob whatever you could like us?"
Anjiu nodded, "That's about it."
There was longing in the grandmothers' eyes, but they soon came to their senses.
How could the other world be the same as the one downstairs? If it were that simple, would it be their turn to draw the lot?
Good things will never come to them!
After seeing off the old friends, Anjiu and his grandmother went to the window as usual to check on the situation.
The abyss seems calm, but occasionally you can see a world of explosions in the distance, and the strong winds that rush out will pick up vines, spinning in the air.
In the near distance, a hint of green seemed to peek out from the edge and slowly climb along the ground.
But in the blink of an eye, tiny buds appeared from the edge again.
They swayed gently in the air, as if testing something, and then gradually stretched out their slender vines.
The vines extend forward little by little, covering the exposed land, intertwining and entwining with each other, forming a green wave.
This slow yet unstoppable posture eventually occupied a corner of the edge.
The land was gradually occupied by the lush green. They stopped spreading and chose to grow.
This is a silent declaration.
They are the new masters of this territory.
The authorities still sent people there, hoping to eradicate the disease before it fully grows.
But the vine is not so easy to clean. Even though it is only as thin as a little finger now, the toughness of the vine bark is not comparable to that of ordinary plants.
Seeing that they couldn't cut it down, the men changed their mind and tried to cut off the thin roots that were embedded in the soil.
As they cut, they kept an eye on the approaching abyss, and sweat poured down their faces.
"F*ck! How come there are so many of them? There are more than the bristles of a brush!"
"Stop complaining and get back to work. This damn place is making my hair stand on end. I'd better go back as soon as possible."
They threw the rooted vines back into the abyss. Although this method was only a temporary solution, there was no better solution at the moment.
After all, this thing is not even afraid of magma.
Being able to hold up the planet and occasionally withstand the force of an explosion is no longer something that tiny humans like them can interfere with.
The only thing they could do was to try it while the vines were still young.
As for what will happen tomorrow, that is something other people should worry about.
Their name slips have been taken out of the lottery tube, and they will not be picked again in future cleanup tasks.
After removing the roots of the last vine and throwing it into the abyss, they made a work record and ran towards the building without looking back.
But they didn't know that not long after they ran out, new buds would pop up.
They seemed to have memory and followed the path of their "predecessors" very accurately, connecting to the roots that had not yet completely died for their own use.
Moreover, it expanded its territory in retaliation, and in a short period of time it expanded to twice its original size, becoming lush and green like a grass carpet.
After the staff members ran back to the barrier, they looked back and were dumbfounded.
"I remember I came back only after I finished it..."
"Is there something wrong with my memory?"
"No! Look, the vines are spreading faster than before! They weren't so widespread just now!"
Several people looked at each other, and after reading the preserved evidence, they felt a breath stuck in their throats, unable to go up or down.
"Is it all in vain???"
"Every time I cut it, it grows faster than the last time. Why do I need to draw lots tomorrow?!"
Just when they were doubting their lives, the vine stretched out its first pair of leaves.
