Chapter 17 017 Heavy Rain, Poisonous Moth 13

"If the rescue team doesn't come, are we really going to be trapped here to death? Qi Yuan, can we still get out alive?"

"I don't know. Let's find something to eat quickly. Xiao Hai and Fang Sihang have searched all the food on the upper floors. If we can't find anything on this floor, we can only go down."

"But have you forgotten? Zhong Min and the others died in the restaurant because they were attacked by poisonous moths. I don't dare go down."

"Then you just wait to starve to death." The man said impatiently, waving the torch. Ye Fu looked through the glass window on the door and saw two figures. They were wrapped tightly with curtain cloth. The petite woman hid behind the man. The two were getting closer and closer. Ye Fu could already hear the crackling sound of sparks.

It seemed that there were indeed survivors in this building, so there was no need for her to search upwards.

Ye Fu put one hand on the door handle and leaned his body against the wall.

They went to the office next door, and Ye Fu heard the sound of rummaging through drawers. After a few minutes, the man named Qi Yuan cursed and kicked the door, making it creak. It seemed that he didn't find anything to eat.

"Qi Yuan, save me, these poisonous moths are surrounding me, and my torch is about to go out." The girl screamed loudly.

"Stupid and dumb, stop yelling."

"I'm scared, Qi Yuan, please don't abandon me."

"I told you to shut up." With a clang, Qi Yuan pulled down the curtains in the office, lit them on fire and threw them in front of the girl. He continued to search through boxes and cabinets for supplies.

Ye Fu heard footsteps approaching her office and slowly raised the dagger. The other party came to the door without making any movement. Just when Ye Fu thought he would push the door open or leave directly, there was a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock… Is there anyone inside?"

"Qi Yuan, what are you doing? Who are you talking to?" The girl dragged the burning curtain to Qi Yuan, looking around in fear.

"Let's go back up quickly. These poisonous moths are too scary."

"Can the people inside open the door? We have no ill intentions. There are only two of us, both employees of this company. I am Qi Yuan from the research lab."

"Qi Yuan, is there really someone inside?" The girl shrank behind Qi Yuan and stared timidly at the door in front of her.

"Shut up and don't talk." Qi Yuan growled. The girl pouted in grievance, but then shut up obediently.

"I know there are people in there, I'm familiar with this place, if you need anything, I can help."

The girl glared at Qi Yuan, as if accusing him of his behavior.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Fu opened the door. With a click, the three of them were exposed to each other's sight. Of course, Qi Yuan and the girl also saw the dagger with a cold glow in Ye Fu's hand.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the girl asked first. Ye Fu ignored her and looked at Qi Yuan.

"You said you know this place. Tell me about the current situation of this building."

"Are you a girl?"

As soon as Ye Fu spoke, the two were stunned. Although she was fully armed and wore goggles and a mask under her protective suit, so her true face could not be seen, Ye Fu was very tall, about the same height as Qi Yuan. Subconsciously, the two thought that Ye Fu was a man.

"Is there a problem?" Ye Fu closed the door, crossed his arms and looked at Qi Yuan.

"I didn't make any sound, how do you know there's someone here?"

Qi Yuan swept the office with a torch and didn't find the second person, so his guard was lowered a lot.

"As I said earlier, I work in a laboratory. My nose is very sensitive and I can smell very subtle odors. Moreover, you smell very strongly of pesticides. May I ask when did you come in here?"

"Two hours ago."

"Are you here to avoid the rainstorm or to look for something? I see you are fully armed, so you must be well prepared. So, do you have a speedboat?"

Ye Fu had already guessed Qi Yuan's purpose.

"Yes." Ye Fu played with the knife in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Qi Yuan.

"Okay, I said, this building has been holding many overtime workers since the heavy rain on April 1. Some left in the rain, and those who stayed wanted to wait for the rain to stop, but it kept raining for two or three days. Then they wanted to wait for the rescue team, but the rescue team never showed up. We couldn't get through to the police or the fire department. Later, we wrote SOS on the glass, but no one came to rescue us. Until the water and power were cut off, the network signal disappeared, the heavy rain continued, the water level rose, the temperature dropped, and even poisonous moths that eat people appeared."

When Qi Yuan said this, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.

"Have you seen those bodies? There are bodies on every floor below. They are all employees of the company. Because the temperature dropped and two people froze to death, everyone gathered together and moved to the top floor. Before the poisonous moth appeared, Xiao Hai and Fang Sihang looted and hid the food on the upper floors. We could only go to the restaurant and the lower floors to find food. Unexpectedly, the poisonous moth appeared and bit several people. The people who were bitten died soon and were then eaten clean by the poisonous moth."

"How many people are upstairs?"

"Including Ni Yang and I, there are still 24 people. Except for Xiao Hai, Fang Sihang and their lackeys, there are only 14 people without food. Today it is Ni Yang and I's turn to come down and look for food."

Ye Fu stroked the knife in his hand, thinking about Qi Yuan's words.

"What are you looking for? If I help you, will you take me out?"

Ye Fu looked at Qi Yuan, and their eyes met. Ye Fu didn't say anything, and Qi Yuan was patient and didn't urge him.

"Qi Yuan, what are you talking about? This is our company. If you let her take things from the company, you will go to jail, do you know that?"

Qi Yuan smiled coldly, "Go to jail? Whatever, I just want to leave this damn place now."

"Are you going home? Which floor do you live on?" Ye Fu asked.

"My home is in Jingshan Apartment. I live on the 26th floor." He was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he looked at Ye Fu as if he was looking at a god.

"Okay, I want life-saving medicine."

"I'll take you to the lab, where there are some newly developed drugs."

Ye Fu liked dealing with such smart people. The two hit it off immediately. Ye Fu picked up the extinguished pine torch on the ground, lit it with Qi Yuan's torch, and then opened the door.

"Let's go."

"No, Qi Yuan, you can't take her with you. This is our company's property. I won't allow you to take her away. When the rescue team arrives, I will call the police."

"up to you."

Seeing the two men about to leave, Ni Yang looked at Ye Fu with a look that was about to spit fire, "You bandit, you are committing robbery, you will go to jail."

Ye Fu looked at Ni Yang with a calm gaze, said "sorry", and walked away holding the torch.

The laboratory is on the 48th floor. The special medicine that Qi Yuan mentioned actually does not exist in large quantities, only forty boxes. Ye Fu followed him to the laboratory, unzipped his protective suit, and took out a black waterproof bag from his arms. After putting the things away, Qi Yuan looked back with a somewhat cold tone.

"Ni Yang is missing. Let's go. She went to the top floor to give a tip."
