Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Consequences Are Coming!

“Yue~”

Even through the screen, one could smell the intense odor of corpses decaying under the high temperatures, and Jiang Yan couldn’t help but retch.

The Blood Mosquitoes in the footage, as if they had latched onto her own skin, sent shivers down her spine, chilling one to the core!

Scientifically speaking, a human body’s blood would only completely coagulate after 24 hours post mortem.

Of course, due to factors like temperature and bodily diseases, this coagulation could either take longer or shorter.

But around the skulls of those mummified corpses, there were clearly dried pools of blood.

This indicated that the bodies, when thrown out of their homes, had been dead for less than 24 hours!

And the body that was swarmed with Blood Mosquitoes, with blood not yet fully drained, was clearly a recent drop.

The distributor of the photo was from Building E, Unit 1104, who used a profile picture depicting a vast and open landscape.

Most likely, he was a mature and steady gentleman.

[E-1104: Everyone, look at this! Is this a distortion of human nature or the decay of morality?! F*ck, who does that?!! Absolutely inhuman!!!]

[E-1605: The police line is constantly busy, but I’ll keep calling!!! Those heartless bastards, you’ll get yours eventually!! F*ck!]

[C-2303: Cough, cough, cough, the brother upstairs is too naive...]

[D-703: Damn! I’ve only seen objects thrown from high places! How did it turn to throwing bodies?! Can we still live in this apartment complex?!! Rage.jpg]

[A-702: Isn’t that a bit much?! It’s only been a few high-temperature days; we’re not at the apocalypse yet. How can they go so far?!!]

[C-602: God! It’s that exaggerated; how will we live after this?!!]

[B-101: Damn it, which merciless bastards did this! How do you expect us first-floor residents to live!!! I curse your children to be born without assholes!!!]

[C-104: Once Pandora’s box is opened... contemplating_face.jpg]

[...]

Following were various angry swears and curses.

The group chat revealed that soon after daylight, once the Blood Mosquitoes had returned to their nests, the property management braved the high temperatures and blistering sunlight to clean up all the corpses.

They then placed them in the square dance area at the entrance of the community, doused them with gasoline, and burned them all together.

Jiang Yan felt a sinking feeling after looking through the information.

This was truly bewildering.

Over five hundred parking spaces, for over five hundred households, amounted to roughly ten square meters per family.

That was ample space for a single person like her.

But it was obviously crowded for families with both elderly and children, leading to a sharing of space.

With an average of three people per household, there were altogether one thousand five hundred people.

Although some of the apartments were unoccupied, with the property management staff included, the number wouldn’t differ much.

That many people, crammed into such an area, eating, drinking, relieving themselves, sleeping—the image was hard to fathom.

And since the water and power were already cut off, accessing bathrooms became a serious issue.

However, not moving down there was likened to waiting for death.

Above was a steam cage.

Below was a prison cage.

But at least the temperature would be somewhat lower, plus they had electricity, water, and food.

Of two evils, choose the lesser one; obviously, the underground option was better.

Furthermore, although this high temperature came unexpectedly, the government’s emergency response and solutions were fairly quick.

As for the future...

These were not issues for Jiang Yan to consider.

Merely watching surveillance and texting had already derailed her training schedule.

Jiang Yan switched off her phone and got up to go to the second-floor gym.

Elsewhere.

Descending floors was much easier than climbing them, so Zhang Qiming quickly made it back down to the 28th floor.

Just as he switched from the stairwell to the corridor of the floor, having faced rejection at the door on the 32nd, he spotted a familiar figure from afar:

It was the beautiful supporting actress from the footage sent to Jiang Yan, Zhang Qiqi.

But now, she had a bob cut level with her ears and wore an even more revealing floral dress than the day before.

Despite her sweaty face, she still carried an air of elegance.

When she had first moved in, she had sought him out several times to coordinate over some issues.
