Chapter 15: The Last Resort
"Yes, Xiao Mu, you must think clearly, the outside of the camp is not a joke, if you don't get it, your life will be gone, but you don't dare to go." Uncle Hou said worriedly.
Mu Chen's heart was moved, these people around him were good for him from the bottom of their hearts, he knew all this, but he had a reason to go.
"Uncle, Hou Ying, this is the last resort......" Mu Chen said softly.
Hou Ying and his son were stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"Have you ever thought about what if the transport doesn't arrive next month?" Mu Chen's face was full of solemnity and said, "What if the transport ship never comes?" ”
Hou Ying's face turned white with fright from Mu Chen's question, and he said tremblingly: "No, the two camps add up to nearly 20,000 people, and the Federation can't just say that it doesn't matter, right?" ”
This kind of situation is unimaginable, or unwilling to think so, because if what Mu Chen said is true, it means that all the interstellar immigrants here have been abandoned, which is terrible.
"The news said that the transport ship lost contact because of the meteor storm, but I have read some information, the spacecraft of interstellar flight have a certain defensive capability, and the spacecraft that performs important tasks will also be specially equipped with ion shields, which cannot even penetrate the energy cannon, how can a small meteor cause the transport ship to lose contact?"
"But it's also possible that there is a large meteor?" Hou Ying said without giving up.
"You're an idiot when you drive an airship, it's impossible for a large meteor to avoid the observation of the spacecraft, don't the transports know how to dodge?" Mu Chen said slowly.
"Even if all this in the news is true, we need to prepare for the worst."
"We have a lot of medicine that we can exchange for some food, but if the transport ship doesn't come and everyone has no food, the medicine is useless.
When there is no food in the entire camp, the only source of food is outside the camp. ”
"Xiao Mu, I admit that what you said makes sense, but let's discuss this matter, our food can last for a while, or when the food starts to be shortage, we will try what you said, right?" Uncle Hou said worriedly.
"No, it's too late then, and we're going to have to store more food when no one in the camp is afraid to go out.
If everyone is really short of food, everyone rushes to hunt outside the camp, the chance of catching prey is smaller, and the danger is greater, because you have to be on the lookout for the people around you all the time......"
It was not easy for Mu Chen to convince the two, of course, this matter is not the most important thing at the moment.
Mu Yue and Richard have already contacted the family, and Mu Chen's parents and Richard's mother have also agreed to move over.
The three of them took weapons and ammunition and drove Uncle Hou's car on the road.
The car is significantly larger, faster, and has a higher safety factor thanks to bulletproof glass.
There are very few pedestrians on the road, and most people are still crowded in the commercial street to grab supplies at this time.
Since Richard's house is closer, I went to pick up Richard's mother first.
Richard's mother Claire is a very fashionable woman, in her early forties, not only well-maintained, but also very fashionable, even the car she drives is extremely stylish.
The rose-red supercar has an absolute return rate on the road, but at this time it is not so useful.
Just a few clothes and household items and a dog named Tom stuffed the car to the brim, and the rest of the things had to be picked up and put into the eagle car, and some precious jewelry and jewelry were stuffed under the bed at home without Richard even thinking about it, and Claire rolled her eyes in anger.
"Richard, you and Auntie go back to the repair shop first, and I'll go with the fat man to my parents."
Mu Chen beckoned them to go first, anyway, there was no need for their car to load things at this time, and it was useless to follow them.
"Alright then, you two be careful."
The two continued on the road, and in a blink of an eye, they came to Mu Chen's house, and the camp was originally so big, it didn't take much effort.
Mu Chen's parents are much more pragmatic, the materials prepared are basically food, and the clothes themselves are not much, it is enough to choose some for changing and washing, of course, there is a box of nutrients that Mu Yue needs, and my father also bought Mu Chen for himself, and he has been reluctant to drink the liquor, which made my mother complain for a while.
Every inch of space in the car is fully utilized, and even the fat man who drives the car has a large bag of spices for cooking food on his lap.
I have to say that Ye Chen's parents are really careful, and they actually brought a lot of women's daily necessities to his sister, which Mu Chen himself could never have imagined.
The piloting skills of the eagle are obviously much higher than Mu Chen, and the speed is extremely fast, but it is steady and steady, which makes people feel no discomfort, and Mu Chen is envious for a while. How do you have to practice to get to this level?
Mu Chen carefully observed the operation of the eagle when driving, and found that it was no different from himself, but the question was why did he drive so badly when he was training? This is also a question that he can't figure out.
Smoothly returned to the repair shop, but found that the rose red sports car parked at the door obviously had traces of collision, Mu Chen was shocked, "Don't make any moths." ”
Too late to unload the goods loaded in the car, Mu Chen hurriedly walked into the store, only to find that Richard had a gunshot wound on his arm and Claire's forehead was also scratched.
Claire was yelling angrily, "That damn madman, I should have hit him at full speed!" Shoot at us, sHit, fucking fuck off! ”
"Mom, I'm fine, and I didn't hit my vital point, and besides, didn't you knock him down? It's kind of revenge for me. Richard comforted his bleeding arm while covering it with gauze.
"Honey, you must not be fine." Claire was about to cry out in fear, and said with a hint of trembling, "No, I have to take you to the hospital right away!" ”
Mu Chen and a few people finally knew what was going on, it turned out that not long after Richard and the two drove away, there was a roadblock robbery on the side of the road, it is estimated that they saw a lot of things in the car, so they had a bad heart, Claire didn't dare to stop, and rushed straight over, although he knocked down the other party, but Richard was still shot.
Seeing Claire preparing to help Richard to the hospital, Mu Chen hurriedly stopped her.
"Aunt Claire, don't worry, I'm afraid it's useless to go to the hospital now." Mu Chen said helplessly.
"What do you mean?" Claire was in a hurry, the gunshot wound was no joke, in case of any accident, how could she live, she only had this one son.
"Just now, we passed by the hospital on our way back, and the queue was all at the door, and now we must have been waiting at the door." Hou Ying helped explain.
"My God, what can I do about this?" Claire was so anxious that she was about to collapse.
