Chapter 47: Big Brother, You Still Need to Be Careful

Chapter 47: Big Brother, You Still Need to Be Careful

On the thirty-fifth day of the apocalypse, the heavy rain continued, but the floodwaters had stopped rising after reaching the fourth floor, which was good news for everyone.

The only thing that surprised Meng Ci was that Liu Jie and Zhang Mingtian had ended up together.

Meng Ci had heard from Zhang Mingtian that Liu Jie knew where to find food, and he indeed led them to some supplies, so they accepted him.

Liu Jie and Li Xiaoya were then moved to Room 1606 to stay with Zhang Mingtian and the others.

Meng Ci didn't ask Zhang Mingtian to drive those two away because he planned to use one of them to get rid of someone else.

"Big Brother, here's today's food." Every time Zhang Mingtian went out to search for food, he would bring some back for Meng Ci. Regardless of how much or little it was, Meng Ci accepted it without hesitation.

"Big Brother, even though you have this wall, you still need to be more careful."

"Do you know Wei Heng? The one who took the inflatable boats from those college students."

"Although he united the people on his floor, he was too ruthless, giving others too little food each time."

"Last night, someone broke into his home, not only stealing the inflatable boat but also taking the few liters of diesel fuel he had left."

"The hidden food in his house was also completely cleared out."

"I heard that his elderly mother passed away because of this."

Meng Ci nodded, acknowledging the information, and reminded them to be cautious, especially about those around them.

In recent days, since Li Xiaoya and Liu Jie joined Zhang Mingtian's group, Meng Ci started paying more attention to them.

He would occasionally use flies or bees as surveillance to monitor them.

Surprisingly, these surveillance methods proved quite useful, despite costing two million each, almost matching the amount of food stored in Meng Ci's space.

But now, they were very convenient to use.

He noticed that He Xian and Li Xiaoya were starting to have an affair.

With nothing much to do recently, Meng Ci decided to add some excitement to his life.

He took screenshots of what he captured and printed two photos. Then, while they were sleeping at night, he placed the photos outside their door.

No matter who found these photos, it would certainly cause a significant disturbance.

Even if He Xian found them, he would surely suspect that someone was watching him or doubt whether Li Xiaoya was trying to control him.

Wu Shuyao, He Xian's wife, had a temper and was straightforward with her likes and dislikes.

Previously, when He Xian kept complaining about giving food to Meng Ci, Wu Shuyao couldn't stand it and slapped him.

She told him to shut up and stop eating if he didn't care about the boat they had recovered.

That's why He Xian had been quiet these past few days.

The next day, Wu Shuyao saw the photos on the ground first.

Instead of confronting He Xian immediately, she went to Zhang Mingtian's place and found Liu Jie.

"Tell me, how are you going to handle your girlfriend cheating on you?"

Wu Shuyao sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and threw the photo at Liu Jie's face.

Seeing the naked bodies in the photo, Liu Jie felt a wave of disgust.

He had been working tirelessly with Zhang Mingtian to find food and firewood, all to ensure they could live comfortably.

Yet, Li Xiaoya dared to cheat on him.

"Jie Ge, what are we having for dinner today?"

Li Xiaoya came out of the bedroom, unaware of what had happened, and even smiled sweetly at Wu Shuyao.

"Hello, Wu Jiejie!"

Wu Shuyao snorted, "Hello?"

"I'm far from okay."

Li Xiaoya blinked and sat next to Liu Jie, wondering what was bothering Wu Shuyao.

"What's wrong, Wu Jiejie?"

Li Xiaoya asked casually, then leaned against Liu Jie, trying to act cute.

Unexpectedly, she saw the two photos in his hand.

"Jie Ge, these photos..."

Liu Jie shoved Li Xiaoya off his arm, stood up in disgust, and threw the photos at her face.

"What's wrong with these photos?"

"Are you going to say these photos are Photoshopped?"

"It's raining heavily, and the power has been out for days, with no internet. Tell me, how could these photos be Photoshopped?"

"Tell me!"

At first, Liu Jie had tried to rationalize things in his mind, but then he realized that no one would have the time or energy to Photoshop pictures during such a storm.

Li Xiaoya indeed wanted to say that the photo was photoshopped, but after Liu Jie said that, she didn't know how to explain it.

"Jie Ge!" Li Xiaoya cried pitifully, and her tears started flowing immediately.

"Jie Ge, I'm sorry for what happened!"

"But it wasn't my choice; it was He Xian who threatened me."

"If I didn't go along with him, he would have everyone gang up on us and kick us out!"

"Jie Ge, please believe me!"

"I know all the hard work you've done these days!"

"I didn't want your efforts to be in vain, so I had no other choice!"

"If you think I'm dirty now, I'll jump off the building right now."

Liu Jie, after hearing Li Xiaoya's words, actually believed her lies.

Li Xiaoya usually appeared weak, so it was possible she could have been threatened.

"He Xian! Bring him here. I want to see how he can kick me out."

"And he dared to sleep with my woman!"

Wu Shuyao rolled her eyes. This man must have something wrong with his head!

This woman had given him such a huge green hat, yet he still thought it was someone else's fault.

With such a loud argument happening in the living room, the people in the other rooms naturally came out to see what was going on.

The two photos on the floor were also seen by everyone.

Although they were partners, it wasn't appropriate for them to interfere in others' affairs.

However, if this issue wasn't resolved, it could lead to internal strife among the group.

When Zhang Mingtian learned about their confrontation, he directly brought the three of them to Room 1605.

"We are a team now. When something like this happens, we should resolve our grievances!"

"So that we don't end up fighting when we go out looking for things!"

The other two households naturally agreed with Zhang Mingtian and let them sort things out.

Wu Shuyao slapped He Xian across the face, "Once the rain stops, we're getting a divorce."

He Xian quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Shuyao.

"Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don't divorce me."

"It's all that woman's fault; she seduced me first!"

"I was wrong, I made a mistake!"

Seeing Wu Shuyao's determination to divorce, He Xian started slapping himself repeatedly while kneeling on the ground.

It was at this moment that everyone realized He Xian was a gold-digger, living off Wu Shuyao ever since marrying her.

Everyone present despised He Xian's behavior.

Living off his wife was one thing, but now he wanted to do it forcefully, which was truly outrageous.

The women all advised Wu Shuyao not to be soft-hearted.
