Chapter 9: I'm Late
Lu Jun looked at Ruan Xue suspiciously, and Zhu Wu also poked his head out curiously when he heard the sound outside.
"She is Xiaowan, we just met her, fortunately she has helped us a lot in the past two days, this place is what she helped us find, my sister went out with her in the morning to receive subsidized food, and now she hasn't come back yet, something must have happened." Ruan Xue explained Lu Jun's confusion, and quickly stepped forward to help Xiao Wan and asked.
Lu Jun glanced left and right with his brows, and found that the old locomotive used by the fat police officer for patrol was parked in the shade in front of him, so he walked over quickly, Zhu Wufu did not pull out the key, a large number of keys were inserted on it, Lu Jun took off the locomotive key, and threw the rest to Zhu Wufu.
"Let's get in the car first." Lu Jun greeted Ruan Xue and Xiao Wandao.
The three of them rode away in the dust on the locomotive, leaving only Zhu Wu with an aggrieved face, this is the sheriff's locomotive! There are only three locomotives in the whole small gathering place! This man is nothing short of banditry......
Along the way, the road army also learned more about this small gathering place from the exchanges between Ruan Xue and Xiao Wan, and the total area of this small gathering place is the four or five communities centered on the police station.
The Guards, which consist of more than 30 local police officers and more than 200 private armed forces, have not suffered a large-scale attack since Doomsday, and more than 2,000 survivors have been housed in the small gathering in a week.
There are a lot of hungry people on the side of the road who set up stalls to sell things, most of them are some daily necessities and clothes, almost no food, medicine and weapons, after all, those are precious items in the last days, and the paper money before the end of the world has become waste paper, if you want to buy things, you can only exchange them for what others need.
Small gatherings will only provide a small amount of subsidized food a day, if you want more food you can only venture out to find it, but when you come back, the gathering will charge 10% of the food as a protection fee, there are only a few people on the street, walking around needs to burn calories, for some people who are afraid to go out to find food, less calories means living for an extra day.
This is the life of an ordinary survivor in the last days, everything is lifeless, Ruan Bing is going to receive subsidized food, as for what happened, Xiao Wan is not very clear, thinking of this, Lu Jun stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to the front.
Ruan Bing was leaning against the wall at the moment, holding a small bread in her hand to protect it, this was the subsidized food she had to get after waiting in line for three hours, her dirty face and clothes, and her helpless expression, it was hard to imagine that she was still the eldest lady a week ago.
"Slut! I'll say it one last time, hand over the bread and let you go, or tear your clothes and throw you into the pile of stinky men, who like you like this little hooves the most, hahaha. A middle-aged fat woman in the middle said viciously, laughing with her accomplices.
Ruan Bing looked around helplessly, as soon as she received the subsidized food, she was surrounded by these three women, they wanted to grab her bread, and said that this was the rule here, but the real reason she knew was that just because she was new and a girl, she became the target of bullying.
The people around who are receiving subsidies or have already received them are also watching all this with a lively mentality, anyway, it is not them who are robbed, more is better than less, some of them are more looking forward to fighting, maybe they can also see tearing clothes, which can help them pass the boring time.
Seeing that Ruan Bing did not obey, the fat woman took the lead in attacking, and suddenly rushed forward to grab Ruan Bing's hand, wanting to snatch her bread, Ruan Bing dragged the bread tightly, bit the fat woman's hand with her teeth, stepped on her again, and ran away from the encirclement of the three while she was in pain.
The fat woman clutched her hands in pain and shouted angrily, "Don't let her run!" Who will help me keep her, come to the mother's room tonight, and the mother will serve you for free! ”
Ruan Bing didn't hear her shouting, she just wanted to run away from this place of right and wrong and bring the bread back, but when she passed by a lewd old man, the old man suddenly stretched out his foot, Ruan Bing wanted to dodge It was too late, and the next moment he was tripped and fell to the ground, and the bread in his hand rolled out a long way.
Ruan Bing struggled to get up, but was immediately held down by the fat woman's accomplice who came from behind, and the fat woman also came to her.
"Dare to bite the old lady, stinky biaozi, I don't want to live anymore, the old lady will make you regret coming to this world today!" After the fat woman finished speaking, she stepped on Ruan Bing's bread, crushed it vigorously, and began to beat Ruan Bing, tearing her clothes and hair.
The patrol team that was sending subsidies in the distance also noticed the situation here, they were local policemen, but they were just standing from a distance and watching happily, these "small" contradictions happened every day, and they didn't bother to care, as long as they didn't fight with weapons and kill people and set fires.
It seems that bullying the weak in the last days has become a normal phenomenon, in fact, the essence of the world has not changed, morality and law in the peaceful and prosperous times are only to ensure the normal and orderly development of society, when the end of the world comes, the social order collapses, law and morality no longer exist, the essence of the world will be revealed, but now there is one more, the survival of the fittest.
Ruan Bing struggled to resist, but was held down by the fat woman's accomplices, unable to move, Xiao Nizi clenched her teeth, her face was pressed deep in the sand, dirty and dusty, but from the time it happened to the present, she didn't say a word.
Seeing that Ruan Bing had no intention of begging for mercy, the fat woman was even more unhappy, grabbed Ruan Bing's hair and pulled it up fiercely, trying to force her to kneel, Ruan Bing was deadlocked, the fat woman was in a hurry, raised her right hand high, and was ready to fan Ruan Bing's face.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a loud roar came, and the fat woman stopped what she was doing, raised her head in surprise and looked behind her, and the "spectators" next to her also looked at the source of the sound.
A locomotive was speeding up the slope, flying a meter above the ground, and then falling down again, and with a throttle of the road army, it ran again, and was rushing towards the fat woman's position, and the engine of the old locomotive made a shocking trembling sound.
The fat woman and her accomplices hurriedly left Ruan Bing and hid away, seeing that the locomotive was about to hit Ruan Bing, Lu Jun braked suddenly, and the locomotive drifted out of a beautiful arc and stopped beside Ruan Bing, Ruan Xue, who was hugging Lu Jun, immediately got out of the car and helped Ruan Bing up with Xiao Wan.
"You're awake." Ruan Bing got up, patted the dirt on his body, and said happily to Lu Jun.
Lu Jun looked at Ruan Bing, and felt an inexplicable distress in his heart, and his mood suddenly fell to the extreme, "I'm late......"
Ruan Bing shook his head obediently, indicating that he was fine.
Lu Jun angrily pulled out Zhu Wu's annoyed gun and aimed it at the fat woman, the fat woman shrank in fright, the patrol team in the distance saw that things were about to escalate, and couldn't stand, a person who looked like a captain led the team to run over, if ordinary people dared to draw guns in the gathering place, he would have led the team to surround it, but Lu Jun drove only three patrol locomotives in the entire gathering place, he didn't dare to make a mistake, for fear of offending people who shouldn't be offended.
"Killing people in the gathering place is a felony, please don't make it difficult for us, are you?" The patrol leader said politely to the road army.
