Volume 1 Section 42 Fight for food
Su Hao didn't care.
This kind attitude has made many people unconsciously lift their psychological vigilance.
A young woman in her twenties got up from the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "May I ask, what kind of work are they?" β
"Build a house, dig the ground, move things."
Su Hao glanced at her and added, "It's all manual work, and anyone can do it." β
The woman didn't go any further. She hesitated, picked up her backpack from the ground, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked in front of Su Hao.
"I'm not very familiar with these things."
She rolled up her sleeves and said tiredly, "Still, I'll do my best." β
A faint smile appeared on Su Hao's indifferent face. He turned around and pointed to Xinyan, who was standing guard not far away: "Go!" She'll tell you what to do. As long as you're not too picky, you should be happy with our food. By the wayββββ the beds here are comfortable and clean, as well as hot water. β
The woman's eyes immediately widened, and her face was full of surprise.
For those who are tired from a long journey, nothing could be more tempting. She nodded vigorously without hesitation and trotted towards Xinyan.
With the first, there will naturally be a second, a third
The crowd standing outside kept shrinking. When there is a gap in the wall in their minds, more and more people begin to climb over it, wanting to see the unfamiliar landscape on the other side. From the position and angle of the crowd, it can be clearly seen that Xinyan walked into the square on the side of the camp with the first few people, and lifted the waterproof canvas covering the pile of supplies. They loaded the various items onto carts and transported them to the newly built warehouse to put them away.
Outside the wall, in the crowd, a dark-skinned man shouldered his backpack and said to his companions, "They don't look like bad people." The young man with the gun was right, money is about the same as waste paper, and it is of little use. That being the case, there is nothing in us that they can covet. Anyway, I'm hungry enough, so I might as well rest here for a few days. The work was simple, and at most it took a little effort, but at least there was food and shelter. β
Another man nodded: "They have guns, so they should be able to sleep peacefully at night." β
A disdainful voice immediately came from the side: "In my opinion, things are not as simple as you think. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out. β
These words made the two men hesitate. After being silent for a few seconds, the man in charge shook his head, glanced at Su Hao, who was standing in the distance, and said, "It shouldn't be." If you want to detain us, you don't need to go through that much troubleββββ don't forget, they have guns. β
Despite being tired and hungry, nearly half of the people refused to enter the camp because of various concerns. Su Hao naturally won't waste time explaining more. As usual, he left enough guards to keep on guard, and turned to leave.
At dusk, the weather is already slightly cool. Busy people put down their work and gathered in front of the newly built kitchen, waiting in line for dinner.
The staple food is still rice.
Due to the sudden increase of more than forty mouths, it was too late to cook rice temporarily. The person in charge of logistics had to make noodles as quickly as possible, and baked a lot of dead dough cakes that had not been fermented. It tastes a little hard, but it tastes very good.
The meat dish is stir-fried ham with dried chilies, and the vegetarian dish is freshly fried bean sprouts. A worker rescued from the construction site once ran a tofu factory, and the tofu made by using an electric mill tasted very good, and the survivors also liked to have drinks such as soy milk for breakfast.
The dining room is a large room of 100 square meters, and the tables, chairs and cabinets are all new from the furniture store. Except for a few guards who were guarding the exit of the room and the favorable attack position according to Su Hao's orders, the other team members all sat with this group of newcomers, and the atmosphere was also warm.
A very large man gulped at the bowl of food and said indistinctly, "Hmm! It's been almost a month and it's been my first hot meal. β
A thin woman next to her tore open a piece of bread and ate it with chopsticks and some ham and chili peppers. She chewed hard. She had eaten too much, too quickly, and the unchewed bread was stuck in her throat and could not go up and down, choking her eyes bulging like goldfish, and her face was swollen red. The person on the other side of the table realized that something was wrong, and quickly ran over and patted her on the back, and poured a few more mouthfuls of water before rushing the food down her throat. Then the whole person collapsed and leaned back in his chair, gasping for breath like a dying old cow.
Su Hao sat at the dining table, staring at the opposite side who was eating heavily, and was also the first young woman to walk into the construction site.
She should be in her twenties, maybe smaller. Wearing a smoky gray men's jacket with a pair of black sports trousers underneath. Through the open collar, the bare collarbone and bra straps are visible. There was no shirt or T-shirt underneath the jacket, just a black cotton bandeau. In particular, the upper part of the exposed left breast is tattooed with a pale red rose, which is very stunning. The whole person looks in line with the definition of skinny, and it is also very sexy.
"Pretty isn't it?"
She noticed Su Hao's gaze passing over her chest, smiled faintly, unabashedly took off her coat, revealing her smooth and round shoulders, and said in a show-off tone, "You men like this." β
Su Hao's face was very calm, he took a sip of the water glass, and said slowly: "Compared to those who died, you are actually very lucky. β
"Lucky? I don't think so. β
A woman, or should be called a girl more appropriately. She swallowed the last bite of food, wiped her mouth, and wanted to reach out for the cigarette case that Su Hao put on the table, but she hesitated and shrank back, and asked in an inquiring tone, "Can you give me a cigarette?" β
Su Hao picked up the cigarette case, took out one and handed it over. He lit a cigarette and took a puff, puffing on the smoke, raised his head, glanced around the crowd sitting around, and his gaze fell back to the girl opposite: "What's your name?" β
"Lu Nuo'er. You can call me Nuo'er. β
The skillful movements of a girl smoking are no less than those of an old smoker for decades. She tilted her head and glanced at Xinyan, who was sitting at another table: "She's beautiful." Your girlfriend? Or your wife? β
This question surprised Su Hao. He continued to smoke and did not answer.
"Can I stay here forever?"
After a few seconds, Lu Nuo'er turned her head, she pulled her long hair back into a bun, and said seriously: "You guys are good here, and I'm not a lazy waste." You can see that you and your girlfriend are good people. Let me stay! β
Su Hao still stared at her and continued to remain silent. He has decades of life experience in the future world, and he doesn't need to ask questions at this time, and the other party will take the initiative to say a lot of things that interest him.
"I don't want to go down with those people. I don't know exactly what's going on in the road, and there's no one along the way who can help. I took out a rancid perverted monster with my high heels hehe! Sounds exciting, doesn't it? When I used to work in a bar, I never thought that one day I would have to work as a porter to earn food. I picked up a lot of dead people's wallets, got more than 2,000 dollars, but couldn't buy anything. But that's fine, at least those rich guys can't use a few red-haired grandpas to force the old lady to take off my pants. The streets are full of cars, and I have my eye on a "BMW", but I can't open it without a key. I got a big diamond ring in a jewelry store with a price tag of 699999 yuan. I took off my heels and plunged them into the rotting jewelry store owner's eyes, smashed the window and got the ring. But that thing doesn't work, men just want to sleep with me and me, and no one wants to marry me."
Lu Nuo'er began to sob, and also became a little hysterical. The shouting became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the people around her, and Xinyan also walked over, sat down with Su Hao's arm, and looked at her with concern.
"I also want to be a good woman. But God won't give me that chance. I couldn't afford to go to school and couldn't find a suitable job. Girls who sell alcohol in bars are seen as chickens by men. In order to complete the guaranteed task of selling alcohol every month, I had to drink with the smiling faces and the men. I had to drink as much as they told me to drink. Six dozen beers every night, doesn't that sound scary? Even a cow probably can't drink that much. I tried to sneak out the liquor and pour it out, and if I was caught, I would be poured more and even beaten. I finally found a so-called boyfriend, and I knew all day long that the money in my bag went out to gamble. My wife, I was lying half dead in the hospital with stomach bleeding, but he sold my mobile phone and went to an Internet cafΓ© to play "World of Warcraft"...... Hey! Haha In fact, this kind of chaos in the world is also quite good now. It's the same for everyone. No one is superior, and no one is richer than the other. Do you know the way? Among those people out there, there are a few guys who are rich. Listening to their constant bragging, I was almost annoyed to death. They carry several large bundles of bills in their bags, and they are on guard against others like thieves. It felt so good to see them sitting outside hungry. They don't have much food, and once they finish eating, they will be hungry for a few more days, and I'm afraid that my wife and I will crawl over and grab it. Haha It feels so good, it's so goodββββ"
Although she was laughing, Lu Nuo'er's face was almost distorted, and she looked nervous.
Su Hao looked at her for a long time, sighed, and said calmly: "As long as you maintain today's labor intensity, no one will drive you away." β
Lu Nuo'er stared at his face intently, then looked at Xinyan who was sitting next to him, and smiled.
There was an element of gratitude in the depths of her pupils, and a relief and satisfaction that she had never felt before
The night sky in the wild is much clearer than in the city. Without the obscuration of all kinds of dirty gases, the stars are more clearly distinguishable than usual. They are densely packed in the sky to form the Milky Way, which makes people think of the beautiful myth of love. The absurd story between Bai Fumei and ** silk like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is almost impossible to happen in reality, but there are still countless novels and serials that are happy to use it as a blueprint After all, this is a world full of lies and deception, just see if you are willing to stay sober? Or are you addicted to it?
A large group of people gathered in front of the entrance of the camp, gossiping around Chen Kun, who was waiting at the sentry post.
"Please let us in."
"Let people who can talk come out and talk, we don't ask for much, we just have food and a place to live."
"Everyone is fleeing, take care of each other. Maybe you will come to us in the future. β
The aroma of the food stimulates hunger, and people who have relied on biscuits and convenience foods for weeks on end can't resist the temptation of cooked and hot dishes. The unfinished gate allows for an unobstructed view of the residential buildings inside. Although they can't see the furnishings in the room, the thirsty person can imagine a spacious bed, soft quilt and pillows through their brains, and imagine a warm and comfortable picture.
What's more, during the day, Su Hao also mentioned the words "there is hot water" ββββ.
A very strange psychology began to spread rapidly among the crowd outside.
"Why can anyone else go in and we can't?"
"I can pay, I still have a couple of gold rings. Oh, and the watch is also an authentic ROLEX. Let me in! All for youββββ"
"I'm willing to work now, let me in."
In the face of the chaotic situation, Chen Kun just took the trouble to reiterate again and again: "If there is any problem, wait until tomorrow." Don't stay here, keep your voice quiet, or you'll attract zombies. β
This kind of cold and pertinent answer did not have the desired effect. The crowd was still chaotic and noisy. They talked to each other excitedly, like a swarm of flies that had found a feast of carrion, but were surrounded by glass and flew around angrily.
Suddenly, a tall man jerked his hand to grab Chen Kun's gun. Another person next to him grabbed Chen Kun's shoulder from behind, pressed his head, and slammed it against the wall. All this happened without warning, Chen Kun only heard the dull sound of his head hitting the concrete wall, his eyes seemed to be forcibly turned over in his mind, and a buzzing sound sounded in his ears.
He struggled to keep his vertigo from losing consciousness, his hands gripping the butt of his rifle. Chen Kun felt very angryββββ he was already a first-order enhancer, and his strength and reaction speed surpassed those guys in front of him. They let themselves lose their vigilance, thinking that if they are all of the same kind, they are definitely not enemies! Fuck me!
If it were a normal situation, they would definitely not be my opponents.
However, the sudden impact paralyzed his brain, and Chen Kun desperately adjusted his gaze to see the scene in front of him. He roared and struggled, but a thick club rose up behind him and slammed into his side.
All this happened so quickly that it was unexpected, and Chen Kun felt that his hair was wet and a little hot, it should be blood. This judgment was quickly confirmed by the bright red that seeped into the eye sockets along the top of the head. It blocked out the light and made everything look dim, but it couldn't hide the murderous and tyrannical faces of these damn bastards who had snatched my gun and were laughing.
Countless fists and footprints fell on Chen Kun's body, and the brain that was hit hard made him unable to resist, so he could only curl up to protect the easily injured parts of his head and abdomen. Even so, he still felt a very sharp hard object piercing his leg.
It seemed to be a knife, plunged deeply, cutting a long wound.
"Bang ββββ"
The sound of gunfire from the guard tower drowned out Chen Kun's screams, and then the sharp whistle rang out throughout the camp. Several figures immediately rushed out of the room, and Su Hao, who was the top body, ran in front. He had just taken a shower and was wearing only a pair of shorts. The expression on his face was shocked, but also full of uncontrollable anger.
The bullet pierced the head of the man with the knife in his hand, and he fell next to Chen Kun, motionless.
The crowd gathered at the gate of the camp had not yet reacted, and had been taken in from all sides by heavily armed team members. A few people who realized that the situation was wrong tried to escape from the chaos, but they were caught red-handed, knocked down by several rifle butts, and lay on the ground in pain, rolling in pain, wailing continuously.
Including the outsiders who had accepted the conditions to enter the camp during the day, everyone in the house ran out. They stood by and watched the scene blankly, unaware that the guards on the other two guard towers behind them were already aiming their heavy machine guns at them. At the slightest movement, they will immediately open fire.
Su Hao held Chen Kun's hand, hugged his back with his other arm, and pulled the whole person up. Chen Kun felt a lot of pain in his body, and he began to vomit when he stimulated his stomach. His eyes were confused, and he felt that he was being carried horizontally and handed over to another person, moving in the air, perhaps being carried into the infirmary, and the feeling of not landing on his feet was very floating, but his conscious mind told him that he was not dead, he was still alive.
Su Hao's face was as cold as ice. He calmly looked at the people in front of him, and the anger burning in his chest could erupt at any moment.
Chen Deqing stood at the front of the crowd, his face ugly.
He didn't expect things to turn out of control.
The originally agreed plan was very simpleββββ just gather together and make a casual fuss, let the people in charge of affairs come out, and then lay out the facts and reason. Keep saying nice things, plus pleading, to get the other party to put their people in the camp, eat a hot meal, and get a good night's sleep.
In the eyes of outsiders, these requirements are not excessiveββββ they can clearly see when carrying goods during the day, there are many pockets full of rice noodles under the tarpaulin. There are also a lot of vacant houses in several residential buildings, which is more than enough for one person.
This plan is very easy to implement, and Chen Deqing is very sure that he will be able to achieve his goal.
He had long anticipated that banknotes had little purchasing power, and he also collected some valuables such as gold and silver jewelry and jade pendants along the way. Coupled with the few packs of "Boutique Yuxi" cigarettes left in the backpack, it should be able to convince the man named Su Hao.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected. Chen Kun is very stubborn and has no possibility of accommodation. He refused all requests from outsiders, insisted that no one be allowed in, and refused to be informed. A group of people talked around him for almost half an hour, his tongue was dry, his mouth was numb, he was tired and hungry, but he could only watch those who had already entered comfortably enjoy the contrast between the two, anger and impulsiveness were inevitable.
