Chapter 156 Being Dependenced

After the four people went downstairs, there was already a long queue at the material distribution point.

Shi Jiaojiao and a few others lined up at the back of the team and moved forward slowly with them.

When it was their turn, Shi Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment because she saw an acquaintance.

The person distributing the New Year’s Eve dinner is none other than Xiao Zhou.

When we met again, Xiao Zhou had lost a lot of weight, and his hands, which were used to record information, were covered with frostbite, as if they had been cut by a knife. Some of his joints were so swollen that it was difficult to even bend them.

Looking at the other soldiers, they were basically all suffering from the extreme cold.

But even so, they still stick to their posts.

The responsibilities they bear do not allow them to be weak.

If even they give up and retreat, the entire country will be doomed.

When Xiao Zhou saw the few people, he was also a little surprised. He grinned, but suddenly a cut appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He didn't care at all, and looked at them with joy in his eyes: "How are you doing recently?"

Shi Jiaojiao smiled and replied, "Very good."

There were many people waiting to receive the New Year’s Eve dinner, so the two did not chat for long.

Before leaving, Shi Jiaojiao specifically called Xiao Zhou aside.

Xiao Zhou thought they were looking for him, so he called a comrade to help cover for him, and then quickly walked to the corner.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, a bag of things was stuffed into his arms.

He opened the bag and found several bottles of frostbite ointment inside.

Xiao Zhou held the bag, looking awkward and a little embarrassed.

But one of his comrades had severe frostbite on his feet and could no longer walk.

This made him unable to say no.

But I feel a little embarrassed to take other people's things for free.

So he began to search his body to see if there was anything he could use to exchange.

But I searched my pockets, but found nothing.

He suddenly remembered that he had just given the bag of biscuits he had saved with great difficulty to a skinny child.

Shi Jiaojiao couldn't bear to see him like this, so she explained directly, "Don't worry, I still have some at home."

She prepared a lot of frostbite ointment before the end of the world.

Gratitude points are not earned.

She felt better after giving the things to the soldiers.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Zhou, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci returned to a place not far from the team.

Tang Wei and Wang Jia had just received the supplies.

Tang Wei opened the bag and took a look, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

The "New Year's Eve dinner" distributed this time was indeed much richer than the previous relief food.

There were two pieces of chocolate, ten packets of multi-grain biscuits, and most surprisingly, each person had two taels of flour.

Although it is multi-grain flour, you can tell from its color that a lot of white flour is mixed in.

Perhaps, the authorities also hope that everyone can have a good meal during the New Year.

The four of them stuffed the supplies they had just received into their backpacks and quickly headed home.

It’s too cold outside. If we stay here any longer, we’ll probably be frozen into popsicles.

On the way back, everyone was keeping an eye on the movements of the group of people who were going to collect the protection grain.

However, in the building where the group lived, there was no unusual behavior except that someone occasionally came down to collect supplies.

Now, Shi Jiaojiao and the other three felt a little strange.

Could it be that the other party really endured that?

It was not until everyone climbed to the fifteenth floor that they finally felt something was wrong.

Someone was watching them from behind.

Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, but their pace gradually slowed down, and they all held their weapons tightly in their hands.

Mu Ci patted Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder and indicated that he would go downstairs to check the situation.

Shi Jiaojiao wanted to follow, but Mu Ci stopped her with his eyes.

Yesterday, Shi Jiaojiao had her period.

If Mu Ci wasn't afraid that she would be in danger staying at home alone, he wouldn't even want her to go out to get the New Year's Eve dinner this time.

Shi Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Fortunately, she knew her brother's fighting ability best.

Let alone two or three men, even if there were a dozen big men attacking together, they might not be able to gain the upper hand over Mu Ci.

Tang Wei also didn't say anything. He winked at the two of them and prepared to go upstairs to check the situation.

Shi Jiaojiao, Wang Jia and others stayed where they were, paying attention to what was happening.

After a while, Tang Weixian came down from upstairs and shook his head at the two of them.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise downstairs.

It sounds like there are quite a few people there.

***

Mu Ci followed the footsteps and went downstairs.

Unexpectedly, just as I reached the 12th floor, a girl in cool clothes with a blue face from the cold suddenly jumped out from the corner.

Without saying a word, he pounced on him.

A trace of disgust flashed across Mu Ci's eyes, and he dodged.

The other party didn't even touch the corner of his clothes and fell directly to the ground.

The girl raised her face and looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, a hint of heat flashing through her heart.

At first, the group sent her to seduce men, but she was unwilling.

But her wishes didn't matter.

She had no choice but to come here just to fill her stomach.

But when she saw the man for the first time, she secretly made up her mind that she must catch this man.

As long as I follow him, I won’t have to serve others with a smile every day.

God knows what kind of life she has been living since she was caught by these people!

She felt so nauseous every day that she almost vomited out the food she had eaten the night before.

But in order to fill my stomach, I had to endure it.

Mu Ci didn’t know what girls were thinking, and he didn’t want to know.

Just as I was about to leave, the next second, five or six men suddenly rushed out of a room.

"You are the adulterer, right?" A middle-aged man raised his head and looked Mu Ci up and down.

"Is there any need to ask? The facts are obvious."

"How can you steal other people's wives when you look like a decent person?"

Mu Ci swept a cold gaze over the few people and couldn't help rubbing his fingers twice.

Want to kill someone.

Just then, a man walked in from outside the building. He was tall and thin, with a pair of glasses on his nose and a constant smile on his face.

After the man walked in, he glanced at Mu Ci and felt satisfied.

Sure enough, it was even better than he had imagined.

If I could get his men under my command, wouldn't that be like a tiger with wings?

While the man was looking at Mu Ci, Mu Ci was also looking at him.

He Tianhu.

He is the big brother of that gang.

Mu Ci's eyebrows twitched slightly. It seemed that He Tianhu was behind today's incident.

He Tianhu cleared his throat and asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, the middle-aged man who claimed to be the father stood up, his face full of anger, "Brother Hu, he seduced my wife!"

He Tianhu pretended to be surprised and said, "Is this a mistake? I don't think this guy is that kind of person."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "How could we be wrong? We saw it with our own eyes!"

At this time, the other men also spoke up: "Yes, we all saw it."

The girl who they were talking about being bullied was huddled in the corner with an aggrieved look on her face. She looked up at Mu Ci from time to time, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

He Tianhu spoke at this time, with disbelief on his face: "Hey, how could you do such a thing?"

Mu Ci's eyes were full of mockery as he watched the other party's performance quietly.

He Tianhu sighed and looked at the middle-aged man first: "Hey, although it is the end of the world now, you can't force feelings. Since she wants to be with someone else, as a man, why don't you be generous and let her go?"

The middle-aged man said with a look of humiliation: "This woman was just sold to me by her parents yesterday. I felt sorry for her and didn't even touch her finger. I can't stand this!"

Although his tone was full of suppressed anger, the words "not even a finger was touched" were spoken particularly loudly.

It seems like it was said specifically for others to hear.

He Tianhu patted his shoulder soothingly: "I'll introduce you to another one later. Don't worry, she's absolutely beautiful. I'll also replenish the supplies you lost. How about that?"

The middle-aged man agreed reluctantly.

At this time, He Tianhu looked at Mu Ci again: "Young man, you have to take responsibility too. Now that the girl is free, you can just take her away later, but don't do this again in the future."

At this time, Shi Jiaojiao, who was hiding at the stairs on the twelfth floor, suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder.

She turned her head and saw Wang Jia leaning over and speaking quietly.

"If you don't get out, your brother will be depended on by others."

Shi Jiaojiao tried hard to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in her heart and said calmly, "Don't worry, my brother can handle it. We will wait for the other side to make a move, and then rush out to catch them off guard."

After explaining, she turned her head again, keeping an eye on changes in the situation.

After hearing this, Wang Jia couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This time, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Mu Ci.

Shi Jiaojiao isn't just stupid, she just doesn't have that kind of brain at all!
