Lou Fengyue pondered for a moment, then pressed the intercom button and asked, "What are you doing blocking my doorway?"

Hearing the sound, Liu Wu looked up and saw the surveillance camera on the steel door.

He hesitated to get up, then asked urgently in a hoarse voice, "Miss, my name is Liu Wu, and I live in room 3706. Do you have any fever reducers? My daughter has a high fever that won't go down, and she's only four years old! Please, please help us!"

Lou Fengyue stared at the man on the screen and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she had a fever and her father had carried her for half an hour to take her to the health station overnight.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her mind, and said, "Step back and wait for me at the emergency exit."

"Great!" Liu Wu's eyes flashed with joy as he backed away until he reached the corner of the emergency exit.

Lou Fengyue rummaged through the first-aid kit at home and found some fever reducers. These were some she had bought before. Her brother had taken two more last night, so there were exactly four left.

She and her brother went out the door, and immediately locked the steel door tightly, not giving anyone a chance to peek inside.

Lou Fengyue handed the strip of fever reducer to Liu Wu, and then pointed to the girl crying so hard she was almost fainting at the entrance of room 3704.

"That's all the money we have left at home. You should break up with that girl."

"Thank you!" Liu Wu held the pills, bowing repeatedly to express his gratitude, tears streaming down his face.

"I have two conditions." Lou Fengyue ignored his tears. "First, you are not allowed to tell anyone that I gave you the medicine. Second, add me on WeChat, and notify me immediately if your daughter and her grandmother's fevers break."

These past two days, a bunch of people have been asking for medicine in the owners' group chat. Liu Wu naturally understood that Lou Fengyue didn't want to cause trouble, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

Lou Fengyue added Liu Wu on WeChat using a secondary account, then pulled her brother into the stairwell without looking at him again.

Whether Liu Wu would split the medicine with the girl was no longer a question she needed to consider.

As I walked down the stairs, the cries and arguments from other floors could be clearly heard.

It was only then that Lou Yunzheng realized how chaotic things had become outside while they were peacefully enjoying their meals at home.

However, these sounds were all blocked by the steel gate, which enclosed a quiet and peaceful little territory for them.

He glanced sideways at his younger sister beside him, his heart filled with emotion, "Yueyue..."

As soon as he made a sound, Lou Fengyue quickly covered his mouth, signaling him to be quiet.

Sound travels much clearer through the stairwell.

In the apocalypse, one must act discreetly and avoid attracting anyone's attention in order to safely weather the storm.

Lou Yunzheng understood what she meant, nodded, and she released her hand.

The two quietly pushed open the emergency exit door on the 36th floor. Lou Fengyue glanced warily to both sides to make sure no one was moving before going out with her brother.

There was only one household on the 36th floor, and Lou Fengyue didn't know who lived there before.

At that moment, a noisy argument broke out from that house, seemingly a battle over the distribution of food.

Lou Fengyue ignored her and, with her brother, pushed open a dusty wooden door.

Behind the door was an unfinished, bare-bones house that hadn't been renovated yet.

The brother and sister split up in the dark to search, and soon found a bundle of wires.

Lou Fengyue put the power cord into her spatial storage and returned the way she came with Lou Yunzheng.

The whole process was like a cat stealing fish, its footsteps so light as to make no sound.

After retreating back to apartment 3703, the brother and sister took off their masks and changed their shoes.

"Dad, you've worked as an electrician, can you help me connect this wire?" Lou Fengyue took out the bundle of wires and pointed to the circuit breaker in the entryway. "Connect this wire to the main switch."

"No problem, leave it to me." Lou Qingjian was full of enthusiasm, his mind filled with how he could help his children.

Lou Fengyue went to the kitchen, plugged the refrigerator back into the socket, and came out carrying the battery, shoving it into Lou Yunzheng's arms.

"Come on, bro, let's charge this thing first."

"This..." Lou Yunzheng looked at the battery in his arms. "How do I charge it?"

"Like this." Lou Fengyue found a charger, plugged it in, and released a small current from her fingertip, connecting it to the current input end.

The battery's display light up, indicating that it is charging.

"To prevent you from burning down all the appliances in the house, use this to practice first." Lou Fengyue patted her brother's shoulder, smiling mischievously.

Lou Yunzheng nodded helplessly but affectionately, "Okay, I will practice hard."

In just over ten minutes, Lou Qingjian connected the wire to the main switch.

The power cord was very long. Lou Fengyue sat on the sofa, holding the exposed copper wire at the other end of the cord, and slightly released her supernatural power.

"Dad, turn on the power."

"it is good."

Lou Qingjian turned on all the switches, and all the lights in the room immediately turned on, and the lights were very stable without any flickering.

"My daughter is amazing!" He gave Lou Fengyue a thumbs up, his face full of pride.

Lou Fengyue tilted her head proudly and said, "It's not dark yet, so let's turn off all the lights in the house. Mom, please cook some more dishes while the gas is still running, so I can store them in my spatial storage. That way, we won't go hungry for the next few days."

"Okay." Pan Quan slapped her thigh and immediately went into the kitchen to get busy, while Lou Qingjian also went in to help her.

Lou Yunzheng, holding the battery, sat down next to his younger sister and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, why did you give away the fever reducer? What if Mom and Dad get a fever too..."

"I've stockpiled a lot," Lou Fengyue said. "There are only four pills left on that blister pack. Giving them away will stop others from eyeing our house. Besides, Liu Wu is a fitness coach. If other residents come looking for trouble, he has no reason not to help, considering I gave him the medicine to save his daughter."

Lou Fengyue didn't say the most important reason, but Lou Yunzheng could probably guess it.

Now the family of four is hiding in this relatively safe apartment, oblivious to what's happening outside.

But now that the whole city is without power, it will soon be impossible to get any information online, and the residents' groups will gradually quiet down.

Liu Wu can serve as their channel for understanding the outside world and help them find out about the situation inside the community.

Furthermore, if Liu Wu's daughter is lucky enough to survive and acquire superpowers, Lou Fengyue can legitimately use the excuse of visiting her to replicate her superpowers.

For this family, it means an extra layer of security.

Lou Fengyue stared at her brother's handsome face for a long time, then sighed, "Brother, our family's genes are too good. It's not a good thing to attract attention in the apocalypse. Remember to wear a mask when you go out in the future."

"It's rare for you to praise me like that," Lou Yunzheng joked with a smile.

The siblings were joking and bickering when their cell phone suddenly rang.

Lou Yunzheng picked up the vibrating phone on the table, his face immediately turning ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Upon catching a glimpse of the name "Xiaoshuang" on the caller ID, Lou Fengyue pursed her lips and looked away.
