Chapter 16 Cigarettes

This meal was not too delicious for Qiao Yun and others who had been tired for a day, and everyone was full from the meal.

Except for Nan Sumei who was washing dishes in the kitchen, everyone else was sitting in the living room discussing the arrangements for the next day.

"Let me go, why is there only 2G left?" Tong Tianhui originally wanted to open Weibo to see the current situation of the outside world, but he didn't expect that there was no way to search.

Zhao Liang also took out his mobile phone to check, "Me too, I have no signal here."

Qiao Yun was not surprised. It was normal for there to be no signal in this situation. It would not be long before the water and electricity would be cut off.

Cen Gui also silently took out his cell phone, which also had no signal. He sighed and turned off the screen.

"It's normal, there will be no signal at all soon." Qiao Yun said expressionlessly, "Under the current situation, the factory will definitely stop working completely. If nothing happens, the water supply will be cut off today."

Not long after Qiao Yun finished saying this, Nan Sumei, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, noticed that the water flow was getting smaller and smaller, until there was no more drop left.

"Xiao Yun, why is there no water?" Nan Sumei's voice came from the kitchen.

"Isn't there our sister Qiao here?" Zhao Liang slapped his thigh fiercely and cast an admiring look at Qiao Yun.

Cen Gui glanced at Zhao Liang and said angrily: "You are the most talkative."

Zhao Liang was a little embarrassed by being choked, and he clicked his tongue without saying anything.

Qiao Yun stood up and walked into the kitchen. She used her magical power to release water and helped Nan Sumei wash the dishes. Then she turned around and went into the basement to get five large buckets and put them in the kitchen.

After filling all five buckets with water, Qiao Yun probably reached the upper limit of using her powers and felt a little tired.

There are restrictions on the use of superpowers, which are determined by the user's physical constitution and superpower level, so it is crucial to properly save superpowers and release superpowers correctly during battle.

But in the late apocalypse, none of this will matter, because by that time humans have already developed small pills that supplement superpowers.

Qiao Yun sat slumped on the sofa tiredly, with the lights flickering on and off. She thought it was because she was tired and dizzy. It wasn't until the whole living room fell into darkness that she realized that the power was out.

Everyone whose vision was plunged into darkness turned on their mobile phone flashlights, while Qiao Yun turned on the reserve power supply. The solar panels previously installed on the top floor finally came in handy.

"Sister Qiao, you are really good at knowing everything. You have arranged everything properly. Please tell me honestly, have you traveled back in time?" Zhao Liang looked at Qiao Yun with an expression of admiration again.

Qiao Yun's back was hairy at being stared at, and she waved her hand to indicate that she was going to the basement to see if the supplies she had stored were sufficient.

Tong Tianhui sat on the sofa with a thoughtful look, staring at Qiao Yun without saying a word until she disappeared from sight.

Qiao Yun did not turn on the lights in the basement. After all, the amount of electricity that the solar panels could store was limited, and she didn't know if it would rain recently. It would be better to save as little as possible.

She used a flashlight to sort out supplies in the basement. The supplies currently stored were enough to support them for two months, but it was far from enough.

Qiao Yun decided to let Cen Gui store most of the supplies in the space just in case.

With their current combat capabilities, they should be more than enough to fight zombies. Although everyone has no fighting skills, they are all brave enough.

But now the water and electricity are cut off. After a while, hungry people will start to do inhumane things.

If faced with humans, Qiao Yun was not sure whether she or her teammates were capable of defeating the opponent. In addition, there were three women in the team, one of whom was an old man with no fighting ability.

Therefore, it is the wisest choice to give some supplies to Cen Gui.

Qiao Yun learned from Cen Gui that her space was the size of two student dormitories. The most important thing was that it also had a shelf life function, and there was no need to think about how to place it. She just stuffed it in.

Qiao Yun went upstairs and called Cen Gui to the basement to put most of the supplies into the space, leaving the remaining supplies for Nan Sumei to fetch for cooking.

When the two returned upstairs, they happened to bump into Tong Tianhui teaching Tong Tianhui how to smoke. Their heads came together and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Cen Gui suddenly said: "Grandma is not here to make trouble, right?"

After washing the dishes, Nan Sumei went upstairs to rest.

"Aren't you trying to get closer to an adult man? Ahem..." Zhao Liang glanced at Cen Gui, took a small sip of cigarette and choked until he coughed.

Qiao Yun also walked over to ask for a cigarette. Now the three heads were just together, and the whole living room was filled with smoke like a fairyland.

In fact, Qiao Yun had never smoked a few times in total. When she was in high school, she was led by some energetic girls to smoke a few times. She found it boring and stopped smoking.

Only now did she realize that the feeling of smoking into the lungs could really relieve some stress.

Cen Gui shook her head and found a seat a little further away. It wasn't that she couldn't smell the smoke, but she just felt that those three people had a clear sense of stupidity.

"Save it, there's only one pack left." Tong Tianhui flipped through the crossbody bag placed on the sofa, took out an unopened pack of cigarettes, shook it, and put it back into the bag like a treasure.

It was this sentence that made Qiao Yun realize that after the end of the world, it would be hard to find a cigarette for a period of time. The price of a cigarette in the base was as high as two crystal cores.

You must know that two crystal nuclei are enough for two people to have a full meal. You can imagine how precious cigarettes are.

A wonderful idea popped up in Qiao Yun's mind. She must find a time to go out and stock up on cigarettes. Then she would be able to make a lot of money.

"It's okay, we will go to a farther place to stock up on supplies in a few days." Qiao Yun put out the cigarette in the ashtray unskillfully.

Zhao Liang also followed Qiao Yun's example and put out the cigarette, "Don't we still have a lot, why are we in such a hurry?"

"Are you a tiger? In this world, food is money. Do you think it's too much money?" Tong Tianhui gave Zhao Liang a headbutt and said in disgust.

"Tong Tianhui is right, there is never too much material. Moreover, Cen Gui's space has a shelf life function, so we can stock up on more." Qiao Yun nodded.

Tong Tianhui pointed to his crossbody bag, grinning at Qiao Yun with a few big white teeth, "Can you give me a few more packs of cigarettes?"

"Cigarettes should be very precious in the future. I think Qiao Yun will also choose to stock up on more, right?" Cen Gui expressed his opinion silently, and at the same time cast a questioning look at Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun nodded with satisfaction: "The one who knows me is Cen Gui!"

After a short discussion, everyone fell into silence again, each using their mobile phones and doing their own things.

Qiao Yun found a corner with a slightly better signal, squatted down in a daze, and downloaded a map of City H using the network that was constantly disconnected.

I guess everyone felt they had nothing to talk about, so they all went back to their bedrooms.
