But that doesn't mean they have to live in the basement forever.
Instead, they sleep in the basement during the day to avoid the high temperature, and then go back to the apartment building when the temperature drops at night.
After all, both the Zhou family and the Qi family have vegetables and chickens to grow and take care of.
Most of the Qi family's supplies are kept at home and in the basement. They just need to move the supplies downstairs one by one.
But all the Zhou family’s supplies are in Zhou Shuwan’s space.
This requires the four members of the Zhou family to sit there and think carefully about which supplies to move to the basement so that they can make their lives more convenient without arousing the suspicion of Qi Mingyu and Grandma Pang.
Eight-treasure porridge, canned food, sauce, compressed biscuits, self-heating instant noodles, rice, small hot pot, vacuum-packed rice, buckets of dehydrated vegetables, milk powder, pure milk, bread, spare clothes, bed sheets and quilt covers, etc. The family talked about it, and then Zhou Shuwan wrote it down as a list.
While Mu Mu wasn't paying attention, he took all these things out of the living room and moved them to the basement of Qi's house.
Zhou Shuwan also took out some snacks and nutritional supplements suitable for the elderly and children.
However, since they don't live in the basement all the time, they don't need to bring a lot of food.
Since the end of the world, the Zhou family has never had to suffer from food shortages because of the abundant storage of supplies.
I'm living in the basement this time, and I don't know how long the hot weather will last.
Zhong Tiyun didn't want to let her daughter and son down, so she picked out some of the food stored in the space, such as roots, tubers, and mushrooms that are not easily damaged, stir-fried dishes and stews, and froze them in the refrigerator as pre-prepared meals.
Whenever you want to eat it, just take it out of the refrigerator and heat it up directly.
Zhou Jianghai and Qi Mingyu were responsible for nailing the moved bed boards back into a bed, hanging up the curtains, and laying out the four-piece set, and the cozy residence was ready.
The Zhou family looked at the Qi family’s supplies and knew what they were lacking.
The family discussed it, and Zhou Jianghai said to Grandma Pang and Qi Mingyu, "We're coming to live here as a family. We absolutely can't pay less rent. I see you're short of rice and flour, and we saved quite a bit, and we've kept it well. How about we pay rent with rice and flour?"
Qi Mingyu and Grandma Pang both thought that the Zhou family was nice, so they wanted to help them and didn't care about the rent at all.
But after hearing Zhou Jianghai's words, Grandma Pang was very happy: "I am from the south, and I have not changed my habit of eating rice after so many years. If you have rice at home, just give me more."
They probably all know what the current price of rice and flour is. Using non-spoiled rice and flour as rent is very cost-effective.
Qi Mingyu bought a lot of milk powder at that time, so the Zhou family took out five boxes of pure milk as a thank you gift.
Qi Mingyu looked at the five boxes of pure milk with somewhat worn packaging and gave Zhou Shuwan a meaningful look.
Zhou Shuwan didn't notice at all. She just held Grandma Pang's hand and spoke affectionately.
A few days later, when the Zhou family was preparing to move to the basement, news came from Xiao Xiao.
After interrogation, Jiang Lin confessed everything.
It turns out that they not only robbed and killed survivors with large amounts of supplies, but also plotted a rebellion in the service hall.
They took advantage of Mayor Lu being out at work to launch a surprise siege. At the same time, Jiang Lin had already gathered the internal votes and was just waiting for Mayor Lu to be killed, and then he would be elected as the new mayor.
After becoming mayor, he will open the door wide for the city's gangs, providing financial resources, weapons and troops, so that they can cooperate with each other and seek common interests.
Xiao Xiao was wearing air-conditioned clothes and brought a few of his men to come and tell the news.
