Abandoned, abused, and betrayed, Jiang Fei tragically died in the fourth year of the apocalypse. Unexpectedly, heaven gave her a chance to be reborn, returning two months before the apocalypse, and...
Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing rushed to the scene of the incident, and Director Ning had already arrived.
The door of a truck loaded with supplies was wide open, with signs of having been pried open.
The two boxes placed at the door of the carriage were empty.
There were more than thirty frozen severed hands on the ground under the car door.
The comrade in charge of guarding the truck lowered his head in guilt: "Just now a woman came to me anxiously, saying that the pregnant woman on the truck was about to give birth and had lost a lot of blood. She asked me to find the doctor who was with the team, and I agreed."
"When I came back with the doctor, the woman was gone and the truck door had been violently opened. I didn't find her in the survivor's car. She must have escaped."
"I'm sorry, Director Ning. I left my post without permission, which resulted in two boxes of supplies being lost. I am willing to accept some punishment."
"Human lives are at stake. Your choice is not wrong." Director Ning patted his comrade on the shoulder and said, "This matter is not your fault."
"The comrades who are guarding the supplies have been helping the rescue team shovel snow and clear the way these days. It's understandable that you can't take care of it alone."
"The enemy was able to take action during the shift change in the rear vehicle, and was able to pry open the door and steal the supplies in a short period of time, and then escape unscathed. It was obviously a long-planned operation."
"Qianyao, has Jiang Fei ever left the RV?"
Xu Qianyao shook his head: "She and the team members have been active near the car and have not come into contact with outsiders."
"It seems that the murderer was afraid of being caught by us, so he stole the supplies and ran away." Director Ning's eyes fell on the severed hand.
That person could just run away, why leave behind his severed hand?
Is it a provocation, or is it a disguised way of helping Jiang Fei prove that the death has nothing to do with her?
Director Ning couldn't figure it out, so he asked Xu Qianyao to lead a team to search the nearby area.
At this time, on a hillside.
Zhou Wanqing was carrying bags of things and looked back at the large group in the distance.
His gloved hand reached for the empty medicine box in his pocket.
I'm sorry, benefactor. I wanted to repay you in my own way, but I didn't deal with the body, which implicated you.
Let’s meet in a safe place.
—
For three consecutive days, Xu Qianyao failed to find any trace of the murderer, and the matter remained unresolved.
A total of 3 guns, 3 military daggers, 5 boxes of 50 bullets, 20 bags of bread, and 10 bottles of mineral water were lost.
Director Ning cleared Jiang Fei's name and sent him five boxes of self-heating beef hotpot as compensation.
As soon as Jiang Fei saw the little red circle on the self-heating hot pot, he fell silent.
The supplies that were sent out have returned.
After that day, no one died in the team, as if the serial killer was just everyone's imagination.
But no one dared to go to the RV to harass Jiang Fei again.
Many people saw the tragic dead body and the severed hand that was frozen like a pig's trotter.
Who knows when a murderer will show up, and they don’t want to become the next victim.
The team walked and stopped many times, and finally entered Qingyang City on the fourth day.
There was no accumulation of water in Qingyang City after the flood, and the roads were asphalt roads that had not been seen for a long time.
The snow and ice on the road were cleared in time, making it flat and wide, and the large group quickly reached the entrance and exit of the safe station.
There are 18 entrances and exits in the area to ensure smooth traffic.
There are four armed soldiers at each entrance and exit, as well as a small house for identity registration with staff sitting inside.
The official loudspeaker sounded: "Everyone get off the bus, line up at the registration desk, register your identity, and have your temperature taken, otherwise you will not be able to enter the security station."
"Those who have registered their identities, please return to the bus immediately and wait for everyone to depart together. Do not stay outside."
"If anyone brings a pet, they must also bring it down to have their temperature taken."
This is done to prevent someone from carrying the flu virus.
Inside the RV, Jiang Fei put on a down jacket.
The temperature is now minus 30 degrees Celsius, so there is no need to wear polar cold-proof clothing.
After finding the cat bag in the closet, covering it with a thick blanket and applying a circle of heating pads, Jiang Fei locked Dahuang in it, put on the bag, and got out of the car with Xiao Chuxia.
Lu Yu and the others also came over and chose the nearest entrance and exit to queue up.
The cat bag is fully covered, but there is an air vent on the top so you can see the rhubarb inside.
"What the hell, there are still people who keep cats, they really have too much free time."
"Maybe they are raising them for food, and then they will kill them and eat their meat when they are fattened up."
"Girl, are you selling this cat?"
The people in the front and back of the line looked at the cat bag with shining eyes, like hungry wolves seeing meat.
"Not for sale." Jiang Fei deliberately revealed the dagger hidden in his sleeve and swept his eyes around sharply.
"I'm mentally ill, don't provoke me."
Don’t even think about targeting Da Huang!
Jiang Fei looked like he was not going to cause any trouble, which made people around him give up the idea of eating the cat.
It's not worth getting stabbed for a bite of meat.
Identity registration in Qingyang City involves scanning the survivor’s ID card and then filling in some simple information, such as name, age, and ID number.
Those who pass the temperature measurement can return to the car.
Those who have a fever will be taken away and isolated for treatment.
The line Jiang Fei was waiting in was not long, and it took nearly two hours for her to get her turn.
Dahuang cooperated with the temperature measurement obediently and rubbed his head against the staff's hand to act coquettishly.
The staff couldn't help but rub Da Huang's face and reminded Jiang Fei: "Once you enter the safe house, don't take your cat out casually."
Fat kittens are easy to be caught and eaten.
There are only a few cats and dogs left in Qingyang City.
"Thank you." Jiang Fei's temperature was normal, so he packed up his bags and left the team.
Lu Yu and others lined up behind her and completed the registration in a few hours.
At this time, Xu Qianyao came running over: "Director Ning asked me to take you to the resettlement house."
"Get in the car and follow me. You don't have to wait for the main force to set off."
Jiang Fei and his companions got into their respective cars and followed Xu Qianyao's off-road vehicle, driving into the safety center through an entrance with a "Special Passage" sign.
The houses that were once affected by the disaster have been repaired. Although the outer walls have fallen off in large areas and are uneven, affecting the appearance, they can still shelter from wind and rain.
On both sides of the road, you can see several open shops, small restaurants, western restaurants and other stores.
Some stores were connected to generators and had lights on.
Some pedestrians even carried a bag of wilted vegetables in their hands.
Patrols in uniform can be seen everywhere.
If the outside of the buildings had not been covered with frost, Jiang Fei almost thought that the end of the world had not come.
She didn't have the chance to come here last time, and could only hear from survivors who had been there how safe Qingyang City was.
In this life, she will have the opportunity to see it with her own eyes.
Xu Qianyao parked the car at the gate of Mingshang Apartment, went to the community to get the key, and got into Jiang Fei's RV.
"Director Ning has given you five resettlement houses, 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 in Building 2 of Mingshang Yuyu Community. We have specially arranged you on the same floor so that you can take care of each other."
"Here is the map and regulations manual of the security station. Take a look at it when you have time. I have something else to do, so I won't take you in."
"My grandma and I will live in Room 201 of Building 5. If you have any questions, please go there to find me."
After giving the things to Jiang Fei, Xu Qianyao got off and drove away.
Jiang Fei was not in a hurry to look at the map and manual. He drove to Building 2 with his teammates first.
Mingshang Apartment Community is an old building with no elevators and each building has 8 floors.
A few people moved the luggage and Dahuang into 301, which was closest to the stairs, and then looked for a place to hide the car.
Lu Yu is responsible for MPVs, Su Liuyuan is responsible for pickup trucks, and Jiang Fei is responsible for RVs.
After making sure that there was no one around, Jiang Fei directly put the RV into the supermarket warehouse and walked back to the Yuyu community.
Heavy-duty off-road RVs are too conspicuous and must be placed in supermarkets to be safe.
Jiang Fei was the first to return to Room 301.
The room is about 70 square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. It has basic furniture and kerosene lamps. The walls have been repainted white and look very clean. There are windproof foam strips on the windows, which is enough for one person to live in.
The kitchen also has a charcoal stove and ceramic pot for cooking.
There is a sign hanging on the wall of the living room -
[Water supply from 7:00 to 8:00 and 18:00 to 19:00 every day]
Jiang Fei went to take a look at other rooms. They had basically the same layout and did not look like houses that had been flooded at all. This showed how much effort the managers of Qingyang City had put in.
But if you smell it carefully, there is still a faint smell of dampness in the air.
Jiang Fei couldn't help but take out a piece of mint and put it in his mouth to get rid of the smell.
Back at Bus 301, Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan also came up after hiding the car.
"Miss, how do you arrange housing?"
The apartment types in the apartments are basically the same, and Jiang Fei distributes keys randomly.
The room number is on the key.
She is 302, Lu Yu is 301, Xiao Chuxia is 303, Ling Zhaorui is 304, and Su Liuyuan is 305.
"Everyone go home and pack your things first, then come to Room 302 for dinner and read the regulations manual."
After saying that, Jiang Fei carried his things and went to room 302 next door. He simply tidied up the room and cooked a pot of egg noodles using the gas stove and pots he brought from the RV.
After a while, Lu Yu and others arrived.
Everyone sat around the table, eating noodles and reading the safety center's regulations manual.
Ling Zhaorui: "The safety center is very strictly managed. Survivors are prohibited from fighting or robbing others' supplies. Whether actively or passively, if they are caught three times by the official patrol team, they will be kicked out of the safety center."
"What if someone comes to cause trouble? Can't we fight back?"
