Learning that they were making a sled for Coke, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu immediately became interested.

They had never seen a sled, but they had seen pictures, so they might be able to figure it out.

“Coke, you’re amazing, you can even pull a sled.”

The dog looked confused, “…”

“What’s a sled?”

It didn’t matter; if the poop scooper thought it could, then it can do it, “Woof!”

Seeing many cut steel plate pieces piled on the table, Jiang Ning asked curiously, “What are you guys making with these?”

Lu Yu showed off, “Ning, guess.”

“I’m not guessing.” Jiang Ning raised her fist, “Be honest.”

Zhang Chao explained with a smile, “Didn’t those black gangs come into the neighborhood to collect protection money? They have weapons, but we’re only flesh and blood, and we can’t fully resist them. So, Lu Yu and I discussed making some bulletproof vests.”

This widened Jiang Ning’s horizons. She hadn’t expected their crisis awareness to be so strong, but steel plates couldn’t stop bullets.

“If it can’t stop them, it can at least cushion the impact. If we really get shot, maybe it’ll save our lives.”

“Bah, Bah, Bah, don’t say unlucky things.”

As she watched them trying to survive, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but feel relieved, and she felt much more at ease.

Knowing that she would go out to cut bamboo with Huo Yishen tomorrow, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu also wanted to help. But the situation now was more dangerous than before. Not only did the 18th floor need someone to guard it, but Zheng Weili alone might not be enough.

“Don’t worry about going out. No matter who comes, if they want to rob our supplies, they’ll have to step over our corpses.”

Jiang Ning wanted to say not to make it sound so tragic, but if the 18th floor really got breached one day, even if they wanted to live, those people wouldn’t let them.

Zheng Weili said, “Anning, remember to knock on our door when you go out tomorrow.”

After chatting for a while, Jiang Ning returned to her own home.

Yang Weicong and Su Mengyao were both dead, so she celebrated with three dishes and a soup, not forgetting to open a can of pineapple beer.

Tsk, if it weren’t for them constantly bothering her, it would be a real bargain to let those two suffer in the apocalypse!

Setting the alarm clock for seven o’clock, Jiang Ning slept until dawn.

Thinking of Zheng Weili’s words, she knocked on the door of 1803.

After a night’s work, the sled was actually made. It was constructed of aluminum tubes welded together to be lightweight and reduce friction, with arcs at both ends, resembling somewhat of a boat.

In addition, Zheng Weili brought over a piece of autumn clothing.

To be precise, it was two pieces, with thin steel plates sandwiched in between and sewn together with thread.

Surprisingly, it had quite some weight when held in hand.

Especially with extra steel plates added around the heart area, the impact resistance was significantly improved.

“Anning, it’s too dangerous outside now. Wear this when you go out. If you encounter danger, it might help protect you.”

Originally, she wanted to make one for Coke, but there wasn’t enough time.

No need to rush, everyone on the 18th floor will get one, but… she wasn’t sure about Huo Yishen’s size. Zheng Weili was a bit hesitant, “Shouldn’t you ask him?”

“Why should I ask?” Jiang Ning was puzzled, “You can just ask directly.”

Zheng Weili, “…”

No, anyone with eyes can see through it. What’s there to hide!

The doorbell rang from 1801, and Doudou came out rubbing his eyes, “Sister, we’re leaving.”

Jiang Ning, in a hurry, didn’t ask. She went back to her room to change clothes and found a few belts and ropes.

Afraid of being left behind, Coke not only stuck close to her but also held the rope in its mouth: “Come on, poop scooper, help me tie the rope.”

Huo Yishen was walking with Doudou, and she had no reason not to bring Coke, so she decisively brought him along.

When they reached the 17th floor, they coincidentally saw the Zhong family father and son coming out and they are holding hatchets.

They were also going to Fengshan to cut firewood, so they just happened to leave together.

Jiang Ning didn’t want to waste the dog’s talents. Downstairs, she struggled to put the sled on Coke.

Um, it seemed she’s not sure how to do it.

Zhong Ping took the initiative, “Let me try.”

He didn’t know how to put on a sled, but he understood physics and mechanics, knowing how both worked to save energy and reduce friction.

After thinking for a while, he put the belt rope on the dog, “The sled can be slightly modified, it will save even more energy and can drag more firewood when it’s done.”

Then, he explained the modifications to Jiang Ning.

Seeing the dog pulling the sled, Father Zhong became interested, “When you come back, you should figure out how to make one for yourself. It’ll be easier to go out then.”

There were no dogs at home, but people could be used like dogs, which was better than carrying firewood on their shoulders.

Actually, his son had also made a pulley, but it suddenly froze and got stuck, so you can’t really compare it to that majestic dog.

With strong physical ability and explosive power, once the rope was tied, Coke burst out like a little cannonball.

Doudou was stunned and hurriedly chased after it, “Coke, wait for me.”

The dog hadn’t adapted to the sled yet, so walking in a strange posture, while always feeling that something was pulling at it from behind. It instinctively wanted to bite.

But this was arranged by the poop scooper, for pulling wood.

Hold back, don’t bite!

Its speed was very fast, walking left and right, seeming to find a way to adapt to the shackles on its body.

The intelligence of a mastiff was very high, especially after being trained by instructors; its intelligence was not something ordinary dogs could compare to. It quickly found the way and soon adapted to the shackles on its body. It even turned around and walked back, barking at Jiang Ning, “Woof!”

It seemed to be saying: “Poop scooper, come up quickly, I’ll pull you!”

Afraid of tiring it out, Jiang Ning dared not let it pull.

But the dog was stubborn and insisted on taking her for a ride.

In the end, Jiang Ning had no choice but to put Doudou on the sled, “You pull Doudou for a ride.”

Are you looking down on it? I’ll show it to you then!

So, the dog pulled the sled and led the way, with Jiang Ning’s group following behind.

There were many eyes watching in the neighborhood, but no one dared to provoke the 18th floor.

They were a group of ruthless demons who didn’t blink an eye when killing. Last time, someone from Building 18 provoked them and was injured by an iron nail club from the 18th floor and died of tetanus.

It was said that the man was the weakest on the 18th floor but the woman with the knife was even more ruthless, and there was another man who was good at gunshots.

Ah, can’t afford to offend, really can’t afford to offend!

They pulled smoothly for a while, but Coke stopped and turned to look at Doudou: “Get off!”

Doudou thought that Coke was tired, so she quickly got off the sled.

Little did she know, it immediately ran to Jiang Ning: “Come on, poop scooper, it’s your turn.”

She was unable to resist its enthusiasm and since Jiang Ning wanted to test the dog sled, so she really stood on it.

The dog spread out its four legs and dashed forward.

If Jiang Ning hadn’t held onto the leash, she would have flown off long ago.

So, Huo Yishen and the others watched helplessly as the dog left them in the dust, pulling Jiang Ning away in a flash.

The abandoned Doudou widened its eyes and anxiously said, “Brother, let’s catch up quickly!”
