Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 42 Zhao Kai

Inside the house, a few people were discussing the details.

At this moment, a shout from Wu Qian next door came from the balcony.

Granny Li hurriedly ran to the balcony, and returned shortly after, shouting, "Old Ma, Xiaoliang, Xiaocai are back."

Liang Yuan and Ma Guocai exchanged a glance.

Ma Guocai stood up and said, "Let’s go and have a look."

Liang Yuan replied, "I’ll call Ding Yan."

He knocked on the study door, and a voice came from inside, "The door’s not locked."

Liang Yuan pushed the door open and saw Ding Yan holding a new crossbow, which was even more finely made.

Beside her were several newly made wooden arrows, all with iron nails as arrowheads.

Liang Yuan picked up a crossbow arrow, testing the stability of the welded parts, and said, "Craftsmanship is not bad."

Ding Yan silently smiled, then picked up a steel pry bar from beside the table, handing it over, "Take a look."

Liang Yuan was stunned and couldn’t help but take the pry bar, seeing that its head seemed to have been sharpened.

The originally flat head had been ground to a blade, becoming sharp.

"Your angle grinder is good, too bad time is limited. Otherwise, you could grind out a spear tip, which would be even more powerful."

Ding Yan casually said, then packed up and tucked a dagger into her sleeve, "I never thought you’d have electricity here. Since the apocalypse began, your home must be the most prepared."

Liang Yuan looked at her, then at the pry bar in his hand, "Just a coincidence. There’s a generator at home, but it consumes a lot of petrol. I can’t use electricity often."

Ding Yan was a bit surprised, "You have a generator at home?"

She had been using an outdoor battery to power the angle grinder just now, so she didn’t know that Liang Yuan’s home had a generator.

Liang Yuan smiled and said no more.

Ding Yan quickly dropped the subject, knowing such things were too precious to pry into.

But she couldn’t help adding, "Save on petrol. It’s a non-renewable resource now. During the great flood, it’s hard to find more petrol."

"Burning people with petrol directly is too wasteful. I saw Yang Mei’s house seems to have white liquor. You can mix high-proof alcohol to make Molotov cocktails."

Liang Yuan was taken aback, "You know about this?"

Ding Yan smiled, "I’m an associate professor at Linjiang University School of Engineering. Do you think I’d know this or not?"

Liang Yuan was astonished, never expecting her to be a university professor, no wonder her crafts were so skilled.

He joked, "University professor? Doesn’t one need connections for such titles? Or is it really based on personal ability?"

Ding Yan smiled, "Can’t deny there’s academic corruption in education, and my family does have some connections at school, but I earned my master’s degree fairly."

Then she sighed, "Linjiang University is not far from here. It’s summer break now, very few students stayed. Even those who did were dismissed at the start of the heavy rain."

"The school has no tall buildings, it must be completely submerged by now."

Talking about this made her look a bit forlorn.

Liang Yuan wanted to comfort her, but she pulled herself together and asked, "Brother Cai is back, right?"

Liang Yuan nodded, "Yes, Sister Wu just called us over."

Ding Yan nodded, "I have a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"If anything happens to me, if you get a chance for rescue, can you inquire about Ding Jiantao and his wife at Huamei Garden, Building 66?"

Liang Yuan looked at her, "Your parents?"

"Yes, I’m their only daughter. Unfortunately, at the start of the downpour, I wasn’t with them."

"Huamei Garden is not far from our community. It’s even at a higher altitude, close to Sun Mountain."

"They live on the 16th floor, it shouldn’t be submerged yet."

"My mom likes to stock up on supplies. If there are no accidents, they probably still have food for half a year."

"If you get a chance, could you check on them for me?"

Ding Yan’s voice had grown softer, with a hint of vulnerability.

Liang Yuan had never seen her like this, he couldn’t help but fall silent.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "I have a lot on my plate, I might forget, you better go yourself."

Ding Yan was taken aback, then saw him already leaving.

She was a bit out of it, but a small smile appeared on her beautiful face.

...

In the living room of Room 3202, Cai Zhi stood up and smiled as Liang Yuan, Ma Guocai, and Ding Yan entered.

"Come on, Liang Yuan, Old Ma, Ding Yan, let me introduce you to Xiaozhao, Zhao Kai."

He pointed to a man with messy hair sitting beside him.

The man wore an old T-shirt, looking like he hadn’t changed clothes in a long time.

His messy hair covered most of his face, even his eyes.

Hearing Cai Zhi’s introduction, he silently stood up and looked at everyone.

Cai Zhi then said to Zhao Kai, "This handsome guy is Liang Yuan, probably older than you, call him Brother Liang. You know Old Ma, and this beauty is Ding Yan."

Zhao Kai opened his mouth, "Hello... hello everyone."

His voice was hoarse, as if he wasn’t used to speaking, sounding rather stiff.

Liang Yuan observed him, his frame was thin, probably from malnutrition.

His hair covered his face, making it hard to see.

He was nothing like the bright and cheerful boy Old Ma had described.

Old Ma sighed, "Xiaozhao, have you... have you been okay these days?"

Zhao Kai was silent for a moment, then finally nodded and mumbled, "Yeah."

He then asked, "Are you planning to kill Liu Erlong?"

Old Ma looked at Liang Yuan, who said seriously, "Yes, are you in?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhao Kai said three ’yes’ in a row, looking extremely excited.

He clenched his fists tightly and rasped, "I’m in, what do you want me to do?"

Liang Yuan knew his situation, someone with a deep grudge against Liu Erlong.

This reaction was not surprising.

Liang Yuan asked, "Dare to kill?"

Zhao Kai didn’t hesitate, directly asking, "Liu Erlong’s men?"

"Yes."

"I dare! I dream of it!"

Liang Yuan nodded, "Good, then you’ll do it later."

Zhao Kai was stunned, then immediately got excited, "Later? Kill who, Liu Erlong?"

Liang Yuan didn’t speak, Old Ma explained their plan.

After hearing it, Cai Zhi thought for a moment and said, "The plan is good, I think the success rate is high."

"Liu Erlong’s men are used to being arrogant, probably never thought someone would ambush them."

"This Mao Xiaoqiang used to be a security guard, after following Liu Erlong, he got a taste of power, became obviously egotistical and arrogant, his vigilance shouldn’t be high."

"But Ding Yan, are you really okay?"

Cai Zhi looked at Ding Yan with concern.

Ding Yan smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

"Then I have no objections. Zhao Kai, what about you?"

After hearing the entire plan, Zhao Kai looked up, "Mao Xiaoqiang... Is he the guard with the mole on his face?"

"Yes, you know him?" Cai Zhi asked.

Zhao Kai closed his eyes, murmuring, "Even if he turned to ashes, I wouldn’t forget him."

Cai Zhi exchanged glances with Liang Yuan and Old Ma.

It seemed this Mao Xiaoqiang was also among those who had hurt Zhao Kai’s girlfriend before.

No more questions were asked, Cai Zhi just patted his shoulder, "Let’s go, old and new grudges, settle them all today."

Zhao Kai stood up, saying nothing more, but under his messy hair, his eyes shone with the ferocity of a wild beast.

"Prepare yourselves, we’ll strike at dark."

Liang Yuan said, and everyone quickly began their preparations.
