Chapter Seventy-Four: The Source of Food
"Thank you...... Thank you......"
The woman rubbed her ankles and slowly stood up.
Without food, tomorrow will be starving.
She'll have to go back and see if she can ask for more.
Cheng Di looked in the direction she was going in again, and was a little puzzled.
"Why did you go back again?"
"My rice is scattered...... Gotta get some more back. β
The woman quickened her pace, as if she didn't want Cheng Di to follow.
An Qingyu put her hand in her pocket and said gently.
She ...... There are some oddities. β
"Well, I feel it too."
"There are no zombies on this road...... Why don't we go over and have a look? β
Cheng Di nodded, and the two followed the woman from a distance.
Although she looked back several times, she didn't find them.
The moon's illumination capacity is still too low.
After a short time, the woman stopped in front of an ordinary house, hesitated for a moment, and knocked lightly on the door.
A short time later, the door was cautiously opened, and a shiny head poked out.
After the woman said something, the man smiled and invited her into the house with a "respectful" gesture.
Then, the door was shut.
Cheng Di and An Qingyu glanced at each other, and came to the front of the room a little faster.
Just as An Qingyu was thinking about how to check the situation inside, a light suddenly appeared in the window.
The light source flickered, and it was clearly the light of a flashlight.
At this time, the two people outside the house also heard a faint conversation.
"No, the brothers are tired of playing, I can't give you this food!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Then why don't you put on a show for everyone?"
"Perform what? I want to think about ......"
Cheng Di frowned, why is this conversation so wrong?
He stuck his head out, and through the window, he saw a bright glow from a flashlight.
In that light, the woman had her legs wide open, her panties hanging from the crooks of her knees.
In front of her were several men with their eyes open and excited.
"Hurry up, stop the ink! We're going to see the water, you know? β
Hearing this, the woman closed her eyes and slowly stretched out her hand at the same time.
She had just been tossed around by these people in turn, how could she possibly meet their demands now?
But she had no choice but to endure the discomfort and continue.
Cheng Di felt that he shouldn't watch it anymore. He turned and leaned against the wall, his heart suddenly brightened.
That's where that bag of rice came from......
But where did they get their food?
Over there, An Qingyu took a deep breath to calm down, then leaned against the wall on Cheng Di's right hand, and asked in a low voice:
"These people are disgustingβ"
Cheng Di turned his head to look at her, and shook his head helplessly, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, we have no reason to be harsh, right?" β
"But I don't understand one thing," Cheng Di raised his head and counted the stars in the sky - since the power was cut off, there seemed to be more tiny lights in the night sky.
"Where did their food come from?" An Qingyu took his words, and she was also thinking about this question.
"Yes, even if they were powerful, they probably wouldn't have so many grains, right?"
The two fell silent.
"That'...... Is there a possibility that this is the grain from the granary? β
Hearing An Qingyu's idea, Cheng Di was suddenly stunned.
Grain depot!
That's right! All parts of China should have grain depots!
This is a big possibility!
Cheng Di perked up, opened the perspective and scanned around, and sure enough, behind a row of houses, he found a large and wide warehouse!
There is no doubt that this is the grain depot of this county!
Now, the food in the hands of these men makes sense.
"Cheng Tu ......"
An Qingyu looked at him, her voice a little urgent.
The next second.
"Bang!"
The sudden loud noise made everyone in the room stunned, and the woman stopped her movements in a panic.
As soon as a man looked over, he noticed a figure walking by the doorβbut the door was gone.
He hurriedly turned the flashlight over to see the face of the visitor, but his wrist was grabbed and he slammed to the ground!
After the violent impact, his whole body tensed in pain, his eyes widened, and he let out a terrible scream!
An Qingyu saw that they were not pleasing to the eye very early, and the shot was quite heavy!
Seeing this, the rest of the people in the room scolded, "Copy guy! β
Suddenly, the sound of guns turning interrupted their movements.
By the light of the moon, they saw a pistol with a shimmering glow against it.
"Stand up, I'll just ask one question."
The woman who was hiding on the side suddenly looked up.
The voice......
"Big brother, you ask! What we know must tell you! β
"Yes, yes, as long as you don't shoot......"
People with their hands raised are talking nonsense, looking at this, even if they let them expose each other, they will never be ambiguous.
Cheng Di took in this funny scene, and he couldn't help but hook half of the corners of his mouth.
"Very well, I'll just ask once."
"Did you get your grain from the granary? The answer is yes or no. β
"Forehead ......"
Several people looked at each other, but in the end they agreed on the answer.
"It's not big brother, how can we take grain from the granary......
"That's right, the grain depot is a country! How dare we move? β
ββ¦β¦β
The more they talked, the more they froze, and seeing that they were about to decorate themselves as law-abiding and good citizens, the woman next to them suddenly said.
"No, that's not right! Their grain is from the granary! β
The woman got dressed and stood up on the couch, her voice filled with resentment.
"I saw it with my own eyes! They have taken the granary for themselves! If we want to live, we have to trade things for them! β
"You...... What nonsense are you! When did we ever do something like that?! β
"Do you know if you've done it!"
"Eh! βββ
"Boom!"
With a deafening gunshot, the man's voice stopped abruptly, and those near him only felt a puddle of hot stuff splashed on their faces.
"Liar, that's the consequence."
"Boom!"
Another man fell.
Just now, these two people called the happiest, noisy.
The rest of the people were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
They even had to rely on each other's support to barely stand.
"For the rest, I'll ask again. Did you take your grain from the granary? β
"Yes......"
Several people trembled, and their four mouths barely made up a word.
Cheng Di nodded and continued to ask, "Who is controlling the grain depot?" β
"It's the Ji family! β¦β¦ They're powerful here! β
"That's right! The Emgrand Hotel is theirs too! β
Cheng Di nodded, and two shots solved four people.
At this time, the woman couldn't hold back any longer, covered her mouth and ran out of the door to vomit.
An Qingyu also followed outside to breathe in the fresh air.
After throwing the food in the house into the space, Cheng Di came outside the house and handed a bag of rice to the woman who had just stood up.
"Here, take it."
She took it with some hesitation, opened the bag and looked at it, and then asked tightly:
"I ...... Can I ask for more? β
