Chapter 249 - 133: Drone Delivery, Building 77 Situation

Thinking of this, the excited Dong Yan quickly began to remove the wooden boards blocking the window.

Although she was thin and weak, her hands and feet were nimble, and she quickly removed the poorly secured boards.

Then, regardless of the raging storm outside, she immediately waved vigorously at the drone.

"Here, here!"

She shouted towards the outside rainstorm, but worried that the mutant creatures outside might hear her, she had to lower her voice again.

Dong Jie on the bed opened his eyes wide, looked at his sister, and couldn’t help but shout, "Sis, who are you talking to?"

Dong Yan anxiously said, "Drone, there’s a drone outside. It’s definitely operated by survivors from other buildings in the neighborhood."

"Xiaojie, maybe we can trade with him and borrow some food."

She spoke urgently while continuing to wave, hoping to attract the drone’s attention.

However, in the fierce storm and dim light, the drone controlled by Liang Yuan could not see much.

He was already operating the drone to fly downwards.

When he encountered windows blocked by boards, he just skimmed past them.

Such blocked windows basically meant he couldn’t observe anything, making them meaningless.

He needed to find windows without obstructions or places like corridors with open views to examine the situation in the building.

As the drone flew away, Dong Yan’s face turned pale instantly. Ignoring the mutant creatures outside, she raised her voice and cried out urgently, "Don’t go, don’t go, here!"

She was desperate and anxious, having just seen a glimmer of hope but now watching it slip away helplessly. Her heart was filled with despair and urgency.

Suddenly, a beam of light came through the window, shining outside.

Dong Yan was stunned and quickly turned to look behind her.

She saw her brother Dong Jie, who had unknowingly sat up, holding a flashlight.

The flashlight was shining brightly, directed outside the window.

Dong Yan came back to her senses and was overjoyed instantly. She hugged her brother quickly and said, "I forgot you can charge the flashlight!"

"Quick, Xiaojie, shine the flashlight at that drone."

Dong Jie nodded, "Okay."

He had awakened the electronic superpower, capable of releasing electrons.

When his physical energy was sufficient, he could adjust the output of electrons to control the voltage.

Through this method, he could charge any electronic device at home.

Although this ability didn’t seem to have much combat power, it was very useful during this time of great floods when there was no water or electricity.

It was thanks to this ability that he and his sister survived the initial difficult period.

No need to make a fire for cooking, thanks to his electricity-generating power to boil water, cook fish, and so on.

During boring times, he would use this ability to charge computers and phones for watching movies, playing games, and passing the time.

Otherwise, even if they didn’t starve or get eaten by the monsters outside, they might die from boredom.

Dong Yan had her brother shine the flashlight at the drone while she quickly ran to the living room.

She found her brother’s drawing materials in the study room and hurried back with a red permanent marker.

Then she quickly wrote two words on the window.

"Help!"

Liang Yuan, who was planning to inspect other floors, suddenly noticed the beam of light opposite.

He was surprised, "Someone on the top floor?"

Thinking for a moment, Liang Yuan immediately lifted the drone and quickly moved toward the light source.

The drone’s footage transmitted back to his phone immediately showed a window, behind which a short-haired girl and a boy were excitedly waving.

On that window, the two words ’Help’ were conspicuously written with a red permanent marker.

This made Liang Yuan raise an eyebrow.

"Are they in danger?"

"That shouldn’t be. Living on the top floor, there should be no one competing with them for living space."

"And they can shout for help, indicating they aren’t being imprisoned. Where’s the danger?"

He pondered, "Is it because they have no food?"

He guessed, but it shouldn’t be. There are plenty of mutant fish in the flood outside; at worst, they can eat fish.

Liang Yuan couldn’t figure it out. The problem now was how to communicate with them.

Would flying the drone directly inside help?

That wouldn’t be effective; they could write words for him to see, but his words couldn’t be conveyed to them.

"It seems I need to use a rope phone."

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan maneuvered the drone around the window, and then quickly flew it back.

The Dong siblings, seeing the drone flying in, were initially overjoyed. But as they saw the drone heading to the opposite building, their hearts sank.

Dong Jie couldn’t help but say, "Sis, why is the drone flying back?"

Dong Yan also stared at the drone, "The operator must have seen us. Look, it’s flying to the opposite building."

"The drone’s owner is in the opposite building!"

Dong Jie widened his eyes, staring at the drone flying through the rain.

His flashlight still shone on the drone within the rain.

He could faintly see a figure standing in the window on the top floor of the opposite building.

"There’s someone there, Sis!"

"I saw it, there’s really someone. Strange, aren’t there mutants in the opposite building?"

Dong Yan frowned, puzzled.

She had seen firsthand how dangerous the mutants and mutant creatures were.

How could that person stand by the window without showing any fear?

Not even blocking the window?

"Xiaojie, give me the flashlight."

Thinking of this, she quickly took the flashlight and shone its beam towards the top floor opposite.

She saw shadows moving on the top floor of the opposite building.

She was shocked and continued to shine the flashlight at other floors.
