Chapter 68 The people from the shelter are back

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun began to load cargo onto the rubber boat.

What we moved tonight were daily necessities, such as paper towels, wet wipes, and duvets. They are not heavy but take up space.

So the equipment was changed to two speedboats and four rubber boats, so that all the supplies can be towed in three trips.

The speedboat was moving very fast, but both of them could sense that Hui City was not peaceful tonight...

There was something stirring in the darkness, but neither of them could tell what it was.

The two men acted quickly and completed three trips in just two hours. After stuffing all the goods into the elevator of the apartment building, they began to pull the goods upstairs.

In about an hour, the two of them worked in perfect harmony to pull all the supplies that filled the elevator room on the 3rd floor to the elevator room on the 12th floor.

Because there was no electricity, after more than half a month of suffering, almost everyone in the building had adapted to going to bed early. It was only 11 o'clock in the evening, and the stairs and corridors were quiet.

When Yu Duoduo went upstairs, he passed by the 6th and 7th floors and alertly discovered that a stainless steel door was installed at the entrance of the stairs!

I don’t know if it was a decision made by the building committee or someone else…

Yu Duoduo didn’t think too much about it and decided to ask Xiao Zhou tomorrow.

After two days of hard work, Yu Duoduo couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Maybe it was because she took the medicine as Xie Yun instructed, but she slept particularly soundly that night.

It was not yet daybreak when the doorbell rang one after another, making Yu Duoduo angry. "Who is it?"

When I opened the door, it was Xiao Zhou who looked terrified...

"Sister, sister, sister, don't use the knife! It's me, it's Xiao Zhou!"

"You'd better be okay." Yu Duoduo said as he put away Tang Heng's short knife.

"Sister, something terrible has happened! The group of people who went to the shelter before are back!"

At this moment, Xie Yun just happened to open the door and asked with a yawn, "How many are back?"

"Sister, brother, everyone who left before has returned, and they brought some men and women from outside with them. I estimate there are about 40 to 50 people.

They occupied the entire sixth and seventh floors, divided the territory, stopped people who wanted to go out, and declared to everyone in the building that they wanted to protect everyone's safety. From now on, they would charge a per-person fee for going up and down the stairs.

Anyone passing through the Sixth and Seventh Floors had to pay a toll, one pound of food per person each time! We only received three pounds of food per person per week, so after paying this, what would be left?

Sister, brother, you are my backbone, what should we do about this? Are you asking us not to go out to collect food?"

Xiao Zhou frowned deeply.

Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun looked at each other. When they went upstairs last night, they both saw the iron doors installed at the staircases on the sixth and seventh floors. They thought they were installed by the committee to control the thug, but...

"Okay, we know about this. Tell the people in the building not to go out today and lock the door at home."

Seeing this lady speak so easily, Xiao Zhou felt much more relieved. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, smiled wryly and went downstairs.

The two went to Xie Yun's room. While washing rice, Xie Yun asked:

"What does the protection fee collected downstairs have to do with us? With so much food, we won't have to go downstairs for several years."

"Those people are not good people. In the previous life, they were not a big deal because there were few of them. But this time it's different. They have become a gang that collects protection fees.

If we let it go, it will bully us sooner or later. You doctors should know that this tumor is easy to treat in the early stages, but in the late stages, we can only wait for death!"

After hearing her analogy, Xie Yun smiled and said, "Seeing that you agreed so readily, do you have any way to deal with them?"

Yu Duoduo glanced at him and said, "No, I'll go down and take a look later."

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

After breakfast, Yu Duoduo, with a Tang Heng short knife on his waist and Xie Yun holding a nail gun in his hand, walked downstairs one after the other.

The building was as quiet as late at night, and no one went out. It seemed that Xiao Zhou took her sister's words very seriously!

Before going down to the seventh floor, the two stood at the stairs on the eighth floor and bent down to look down. They saw several strong men sitting on the ground on the platform below playing Landlord, three or two of them were familiar faces.

Sharp kitchen knives, machetes and axes were put aside, and a group of people were talking and laughing, looking very happy!

"This place is still the best, it's free and open, unlike that shitty shelter, damn, it's not a place for people to live! Even pigs would find it dirty!" (Strong Man 1)

"I just followed Brother Liu's call and brought all of us here. Otherwise, we would still have to live a miserable life under the suppression of those policemen!" (Strong Man 2)

"These poor fellows, once they heard they had to pay for food, none of them went out today. Brother Liu, what do you think we should do? That little bit of relief food is not enough for us to spend!" (Strong Man 3)

"If they don't want to go out, that's fine. We'll just go to their homes and collect protection money. Two kilograms of rice per person per week. If they don't pay, get out." (Brother Liu)

"Brother Liu is right! But I heard that the man and woman on the 12th floor are very good at fighting. Our people have been defeated by them several times before~ and returned empty-handed!" (Strong Man 1)

The strong man was thrown aside by the person next to him in an instant.

"You don't know how to talk, you boost others' morale but destroy your own prestige! With Brother Liu here, a pair of dogs and bitches are nothing. The four musclemen on the 7th floor were killed by our Brother Liu. Are you still afraid of them?" (Strong Man 3)

"That's right, our brother Liu is really awesome. He stole the pistol from the shelter police. Who should we be afraid of?" (Strong Man 2)

…

After listening to gossip for more than half an hour, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun quietly returned to the 12th floor.

"They have guns, so I think we should just forget it." Xie Yun, with his chin supported by his hand, frowned as he looked at Yu Duoduo lying on the sofa in his house, and said in a deep voice.

"Um……"

After a while, Yu Duoduo suddenly asked softly, "How many bullets did Brother Liu steal from the police?"

Xie Yun suddenly sat up straight, "What? You still want to catch the bullet with your bare hands?"

Yu Duoduo smiled and waved his hands: "Oh, that's all I'm asking!"

Before Xie Yun could say anything, there was a shouting and cursing outside the door...

"Whoever's in there, get out of here right now. If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!"

When I heard the voice, I realized it was one of the people who were playing poker downstairs just now, and he came to my door.

"What do you think? I told you ~ it will come back to us sooner or later, so you can't just let it go!" Yu Duoduo raised an eyebrow at Xie Yun, then immediately got up and went out.

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, is the door in our hallway bulletproof?"

Thank you...

"Bulletproof glass should be able to protect against bullets!" Yu Duoduo said to himself.

"What's the matter?" Yu Duoduo walked out of Xie Yun's room slowly, lazily and calmly.

There were more than a dozen strong men standing outside the door, each holding a weapon.

"Bitch, look at what you have done!" The leader was none other than Brother Liu.

Yu Duoduo looked in the direction of his finger and saw two men lying on the ground outside the door, twitching. They might have been electrocuted by the door...

An unknown liquid flowed out of their pants, making the outside of the door wet.
