Chapter 114 Someone is out
Such a pleasant day was temporarily interrupted by movement from the surveillance camera one day in mid-December.
At that time, she was already lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and was getting sleepy, when a gentle notification sound suddenly came from the surveillance camera - someone was passing by that stall.
She was a little surprised. There had never been any reminder at this time. After all, the temperature was still hovering above 60 degrees and it was raining heavily. Who would choose to go out in broad daylight?
She crawled to the end of the bed and pulled the table with the monitor closer - yes, since she was stationed on the bed, she had replaced the table with the monitor display with a narrow table with rollers.
It has good stability and good load-bearing capacity. It is very convenient for her to pull the monitor in front of her to check it without leaving the bed.
She was about to fall asleep and her movements were slow. When she put on her glasses and focused her eyes on the display screen, the person passing by had long since disappeared.
She rubbed her face, adjusted the monitor forward, and saw a figure wearing a long raincoat fluttering past. Wei Jiao pulled back and forth again to make sure there was only one person.
Weird, there was only one person, which meant that he didn’t go to the official place to collect water.
The official time for releasing water is fixed. Every time she watches through the surveillance system, although everyone does not set off together, they all move forward and backward one after another, which does not match the current situation.
Moreover...she glanced at the recorded time of each water release, and it turned out that it had been too long since the last time the water was released.
She waited in front of the surveillance camera for a while, making sure that only that person went out, and then she made some guesses.
Could it be that... you went out to look for supplies?
She didn't dare to use the verb "buy" easily. She really didn't know what the order was like outside now. Whether supplies should be bought, found, or... snatched.
Her community is located in a very remote location in City B. There are no other communities nearby. The gathering of people is relatively fixed and the flow of people is not large. She believes that the order in the area is not yet dangerous.
Just like the situation in the community now, at least she didn't see anything bad during the time she used the telescope to observe every day.
Maybe the food stockpile at home has run out and I have to go out to look for it?
Then she thought about it, not necessarily, it might be a personal issue, such as looking for friends or relatives.
This was a time when the intensity of the rain was variable. Although the water outside was slowly rising, from what she could see with the naked eye, it shouldn't hinder people's walking and transportation.
And now the dark clouds cover the sun. Although the high temperature is still there, the harsh sunlight is blocked; and there is rain blocking the road. If you really have to go out, it is more suitable to go out in the daytime with skylight.
Not only do you have to face darkness at night, but you also have to deal with overwhelming rain. Especially now that there is stagnant water, it is more dangerous to go out.
As she thought about it, she had another thought. Going out didn't mean leaving the community. Maybe she was looking for a real estate agent for something? Or go to the basement to rescue a private car?
Naturally, she had no way of knowing the reasons for others to go out, so she stopped worrying about it. She rubbed her eyes, thinking that she could wait and judge the situation again.
If she doesn't leave the community, she won't be out for a long time, and she can wait. But if she doesn't come back for a few hours, she probably leaves the community, and there's no need for her to stay up for this.
She thought for a moment and set a waiting time of up to two hours. Then she stretched herself a little, took the pillow to the end of the bed, turned around and lay down.
The table with the monitor screen was left in this position for the first time. She turned up the volume of the notification tone slightly and started playing games with her phone to pass the time.
After changing a few stand-alone mini-games, she turned back and forth several times. It had been nearly an hour and she still hadn't come back. She yawned and opened the novel again and started reading.
It is a popular short story on a certain platform. It can pass the time without staying up late because you are too fascinated by it.
After watching for more than half an hour, but no one came back, she was ready to give up and began to cultivate sleepiness.
This is easy to do. Change the novel you are reading into a foreign language article, and your eyelids will become heavy when you read it.
When the two-hour waiting time was up, she stopped worrying about it and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes due to her sleepiness.
While she was drifting off to sleep, she heard a passing notification sound in her ears. She was so sleepy that she propped up her head and squinted her eyes to see. She was too lazy to get her glasses, so she thought she could watch the replay after waking up.
The figures in the surveillance camera were from right to left, heading back; they were walking very slowly, and she squinted her eyes to make out the difference. It looked like they were dragging something.
Wei Jiao, who had witnessed corpse dumping late at night, woke up immediately.
She pushed herself up and rubbed her eyes as the figure slowly left the surveillance range. She felt that her vision was clearer, so she put her glasses on her face and started to play back.
She looked carefully and saw that the man was wearing a long raincoat that covered his whole body. She also specially adjusted the monitoring when leaving. Based on the raincoat and height, she confirmed that it was the same person.
As for the thing being dragged, of course it was not a corpse—who would bring a corpse home from outside—but a large snakeskin bag, both flat and large, and the man was dragging it along the ground by the handle.
She looked carefully and found that the man's raincoat was fluttering when he left, but when he came back it was bulging underneath, as if there was a bag hanging on his chest and back.
Oh, it looks like I went looking for supplies, and it looks like I got a lot of results.
She looked at the time and saw that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. This person had been gone for more than four hours.
She wasn't particularly concerned. When she saw people coming back, she knew they were looking for supplies. I was already very sleepy, but this time I just fell down and went back to sleep.
She slept until ten o'clock in the evening. It was already dark, and she couldn't take advantage of the last bit of light before dark to take a look at the situation in the community.
But it didn't matter. She was so sleepy that she yawned and sat on the bed, lowering her head little by little.
In fact, this sleep was not that long, only ten hours, about the same as usual. I was supposed to go to bed at ten in the morning, but I waited until twelve o'clock at noon when someone came back. I was woken up again in the middle, and I fell asleep very uneasily.
I got up just in time for lunch.
She was still sleepy, so she went into the space to wash up and didn't do morning exercises. She only thought about eating according to her schedule, so she placed a tray directly on the bed with several plates of sushi and kimbap on it.
I don’t have much appetite. Let’s eat something cold and convenient.
The sushi was dipped in soy sauce and a little wasabi was added to it. It was very refreshing to eat. After all, she felt very awake after eating two.
This was redeemed from a certain sushi restaurant mini-game. The setting in the game was to catch and cut the fish immediately. She guessed that it would be fresh. As expected, it was hard to guarantee if she ordered takeout.
The kimbap is rolled by yourself. The basic flavors include egg pancake strips, cucumber strips, carrot strips and pickled sweet radish strips. It has a very refreshing taste, and with the fresh milk in the carton, it is quite a filling meal.
