Chapter 48: New Residents
Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "I will stay here and help you guard them while you move them up."
Long Yu did not refuse her help and quickly moved the supplies up. While he was busy moving supplies, the remaining people in Building 3 came out to take a look.
When they saw the mountains of supplies in the corridor, their eyes shone with greed. However, when their eyes fell on Yao Ran's cold eyes, they had to cancel their plan to rob supplies.
After Long Yu went back and forth several times, there were not many supplies left. Yao Ran looked at the motorboat from the window and asked, "What would you do with your motorboat?"
Long Yu calmly answered, "I need to hide it."
Yao Ran nodded, "Good. Then you can hide it first. I will wait here."
"Thanks."
Just as Long Yu was away, several people came over to observe Yao Ran. Some were bold enough to beg for food, but she scared them away the moment she took out her nail gun. By the time Long Yu came back, twenty minutes had passed.
He climbed up the window easily and looked at Yao Ran. "Let's go."
Yao Ran helped him carry a few bags of supplies, and the two of them returned to the 20th floor under everyone's jealous eyes.
Returning to the 20th floor, Yao Ran placed the supplies at the door of unit 2002 and said, "I'm going back first."
Long Yu nodded, "Thank you."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The two exchanged glances, then turned around and went home. After putting away her backpack and inflatable boat, Yao Ran went to the space to take a hot bath. She put on her pajamas and drank a bowl of ginger soup to warm herself up.
Seeing that there was still some ginger soup left, she thoughtfully stared at the ginger soup. Since she and Long Yu are the only ones living on the 20th floor now, she should establish a good relationship with him. Otherwise, if he becomes her enemy, it will be troublesome. Yao Ran nodded, poured the remaining ginger soup into a thermos bottle, and then left the space. She put on her coat and left the apartment with the ginger soup. After closing the door, she knocked on the door of unit 2002 and waited a moment before it opened.
Seeing her there, Long Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Do you need anything?"
Yao Ran handed the thermos bottle over and said, "I made too much ginger soup. You can have it."
Long Yu took the thermos bottle and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
After she delivered the ginger soup, Yao Ran waved to him and returned to her apartment. Just as she closed the door and went to the balcony to practice her wood-element abilities, she
heard someone knocking on the metal door blocking the stairs.
Yao Ran frowned slightly and muttered, "Another troublemaker?"
She glanced at her watch. It was only seven in the morning. Yao Ran sighed and went out again. It was her duty to guard the door during the day, and the knocking on the door hadn't stopped yet, so she had to take a look.
When she came out, she saw that Long Yu had gone out to check. She walked up to him and asked, "Who dares to come again?"
Long Yu turned to look at her, "My friends and their families."
Listening to his answer, she felt a little curious. Yao Ran walked closer and poked her head out of his back. When she saw two men and three women there, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Long Yu with curiosity in her eyes.
He looked at her for a moment, then turned to his friends and said, "Wait here. I need to talk to her."
One of the men smiled and said, "Yes, Captain."
As soon as these words came out, Long Yu took the curious Yao Ran's hand. He took her into his home and closed the door. When he looked back at her, he found Yao Ran looking around in his house.
"I'm sorry to bring you here, but I have something to tell you." He said after a moment of silence.
Yao Ran looked away from the clean and tidy living room and looked at him, "What's the matter?"
Looking at her calm expression, Long Yu explained, "They want to live here, on the 20th floor."
She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you trust them?"
Long Yu nodded as an answer. Seeing her silence, he added, "If you don't agree, I will tell them to go find another place to stay."
Yao Ran lowered her eyes and thought, 'After the end of the world, no place is safe. If these people could be trusted, I wouldn't mind having them live here. From a physical point of view, those two men seemed to be no weaker than Long Yu. Having them around could improve security on the 20th floor.' After thinking for a long time, Yao Ran raised her eyes and said, "I can agree to your request and let them live here. However, I don't like to be disturbed."
After receiving her answer, Long Yu smiled slightly and nodded, "Don't worry. I promise they won't disturb you. If they do, I will kick them out."
Yao Ran nodded and asked, "Will you let them live with you?"
"Isn't there an empty apartment on our floor?" Long Yu asked back.
Knowing that he wanted those people to live in Zhou Ruilin's apartment, Yao Ran said, "I will go get the key. Also, please tell them to take good care of the apartment. When Sister Zhou and her family come back in the future, they must leave the apartment immediately."
Long Yu nodded, "Got it."
After reaching an agreement, the two left the apartment, and Yao Ran went back to her apartment to get the key to unit 2001.
Seeing Long Yu coming back, one of the men asked, "Captain, how is it?"
