Chapter 55: The hearts of the people are warm
"Brother Cheng, the results of your trip have been worthy of us for many days." After getting into the armored car, Jiang Chibing was still immersed in excitement. The fact that the grain was shipped back was a happy thing in itself, and the most important thing was that Jiang Chibing saw hope in the eyes of those old and young. As long as there is hope, what else can stop humanity from moving forward?
The armored car drove through the streets again, completely oblivious to the zombies that were staggering down the road. I crushed it all the way, and soon came to the door of Bailian Supermarket. After leaving Yaomei and He Xiaomei on guard outside the door, Cheng Sen took the rest of the people into the supermarket.
"Candy, salt, milk powder, cigarettes, whatever you see." Cheng Sen casually pulled over the two shopping carts and instructed Xu Si. Grain, some have already been stockpiled. Don't underestimate candy, salt and milk powder. With these things, even if there is no food, people can last a few more days. As for cigarettes, they are purely incidental. Although smoking is harmful to health, who cares about it in today's precarious days?
"We're going to have to replenish some supplies, especially batteries!" While Wu Gun and Jiang Chibing were carrying things outside, Cheng Sen looked around left and right by the light of the flashlight, and said to Xu Si. The consumption of batteries is very large, although there is no shortage for the time being, but Cheng Sen has always liked to take precautions. Flashlights, walkie-talkies, these things all need batteries, and if you really wait until they are exhausted, you will find a way, and it will be too late!
"Go back, these supplies are almost enough for a while. Have a good rest at night, Xiao Jiang, do you know where the military camp in this city is? When the armored car was stuffed, Cheng Sen decided to stop. After getting into the car, he casually asked Jiang Chibing.
"You know, it's right next to the lake, next to the city government." Jiang Chibing heard Cheng Sen ask him, and hurriedly replied.
"Oh, where did you get your guns?" Cheng Sen looked at the 81 bar in Jiang Chibing's arms and asked.
"The District Armed Forces Department, there are a lot of guns in it, but there are not many bullets in the fuck. Every time I go out on duty, I have to hand in the bullets when I go back, and then I will distribute them when I go to work next time. Jiang Chibing said and withdrew the 81-bar magazine, looked at the bullets inside and complained.
"In extraordinary times, you District Chief Zhou also has his reasons for doing this." Cheng Sen smiled and said to Jiang Chibing.
"So, tomorrow you take me to the barracks. It just so happens that we don't have enough bullets and need to be replenished. By the way, I will help you stock up on some guns and ammunition as well. Cheng Sen looked at the few boxes of bullets left in the armored car and said to Jiang Chibing. Their firepower is ferocious, there is no doubt about it. But the price is that the bullets are consumed too quickly.
"Yes. It's best to get a bunch of weapons that are as fierce as yours, and then you won't have to be afraid of those zombies. Jiang Chibing reached out and picked up the 95 assault rifle that Cheng Sen was leaning on, rubbing the body of the gun made of engineering plastics and said enviously.
"Before the accident, the whole army happened to change its equipment, so it shouldn't be a problem to get this kind of gun." Cheng Sen couldn't help but smile when he saw Jiang Chibing playing with the 95 assault rifle.
"Weizi, Weizi?" By the time the armored car returned to the gymnasium, it was already dark. Cheng Sen took advantage of Jiang Chibing's call to the door and looked at the watch on his wrist. The hour hand pointed to the position of five o'clock, and looking up at the thick haze in the sky, Cheng Sen sighed lightly. The damn smog blocked out the sun, and it was only five o'clock, and it was starting to get dark.
"Alas, alas, here it is! I said Brother Jiang, I just took off my pants, and you came back. Weizi dragged an old newspaper in his hand, tied his belt, and walked towards the iron gate with the key.
"Toilet paper is gone? The newspapers are full of lead, and you're so unhygienic. Looking at the yellowed newspaper in Weizi's hand, Jiang Chibing couldn't help frowning.
"Don't mention Brother Jiang, let's be considered a haode, and there is a newspaper to wipe your ass. You don't know, a lot of people pick it by hand. Weizi put the newspaper in his pocket, looked up at Yao Mei who was blushing in the middle of his words, and quickly stopped the rest of the words.
"Don't use the newspaper, we'll figure it out tomorrow." Jiang Chibing handed the palm-sized toilet paper in his pocket to Weizi and said.
"I said Brother Jiang, I understand your well-meaning brother, your slap is a big piece of paper, and I don't have enough for it. It's over, don't you want a newspaper! It's done, don't worry about it! Weizi took the toilet paper that was almost crumpled and looked at it, and handed the paper back to Jiang Chibing.
"You, disgusting, disgusting! Here you go. Yao Mei couldn't listen to it anymore, so she took out a small pack of napkins from her pocket and stuffed it into Weizi's hand.
"Brother Cheng, how can I thank you for your brother. You've done me a lot of help for my brother. Hurry up, why are you stunned? Move! Zhou Keyou heard the movement this time and took people out, opened the car door, looked at the materials inside, and immediately took Cheng Sen's hand and commanded his subordinates.
Pots of cooking oil, bags of sugar and salt, including some sweets, cigarettes and liquor. Soon he was moved into the gymnasium by the smiling chores team. Looking at the materials that people were holding in their hands and carrying on their shoulders, the entire gymnasium was agitated. How many days? Every day, in addition to gruel, the smell of gruel, tobacco, alcohol, and candy, people seem to have some things to remember. Even those who go out on the field only have an additional allowance of one low-quality cigarette per day. Looking at the piles of various materials in the warehouse converted from the athletes' lounge, people's hearts burned.
"Brother Cheng~"
"Brother Cheng~"
Cheng Sen entered the gymnasium and saw people lining up there nodding to him. Regardless of the old and young, they shouted Brother Cheng in their mouths. They knew that these things were all obtained for them by Cheng Sen's team.
"Brother Cheng, look at how high your prestige in the base is now. Stay, even if it's for them! Jiang Chibing lost no time in retaining Cheng Sen in Cheng Sen's ear again.
"I'll talk about this later, let's arrange for someone to put things in order first. Then, an observation post was arranged there. Cheng Sen didn't refuse on the spot this time, and after observing the internal structure of the gymnasium, he instructed Jiang Chibing. After arranging an observation post at the window facing the street, Jiang Chibing trotted behind Cheng Sen again.
