Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 526 Still Soft-Hearted

Chen Shunwei walked very fast, but was still caught up by the young security guard.

He was worried, so he took Chen Shunwei to disinfect the wound and apply medicine. Only then did the two leave the hospital and return to Qingyu Community.

The whole journey was silent until they were almost at the gate of the community, when Chen Shunwei asked, "How is Fan Haopeng?"

The young security guard was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his captain would still think of his teammates after being angry.

He thought for a moment and said, "I can't tell you the details, but it seems to be quite serious, with internal bleeding. Not long after we arrived, the Fan family arrived, and they arranged the examination and surgery."

Chen Shunwei nodded, and he had some understanding for the Fan family. They must have been angry and too worried about Fan Haopeng, so they acted and said something inappropriate.

He glanced at the security guard, then handed the bag to him, "Go to the hospital tomorrow and give these things to Fan's family. Ask them to give Xiao Fan some supplements."

The young security guard didn't answer. He looked at Chen Shunwei and asked, "Captain, are you not angry anymore?"

Chen Shunwei shook his head and laughed, "I'm angry, how can I not be angry! I was scratched by that old woman and my face is almost disfigured. I want to kill her, let alone be angry!"

"Then you still..." The young security guard was puzzled.

Chen Shunwei sighed, "I am angry at Xiaofan's mother, but for Xiaofan's sake we can't just ignore everything. Besides, I am indeed responsible for this matter."

"Didn't you say that it was because Fan Haopeng was impulsive?"

"Yes, but he was impulsive because of me." Chen Shunwei smiled, but there was a little bitterness in his smile, "Although I said it was justified in the hospital, after all, he was injured because he stood up for me.

We can’t just remember the bad things about people and ignore their good things. We still need to show the care we deserve.”

The young security guard nodded and took the bag from Chen Shunwei. However, looking at the gate of the community in front of them, they both smiled.

"Well, Captain, it seems that your idea of asking me to help carry the things back has failed." The young security guard teased.

Chen Shunwei pretended to slap the other man on the forehead and said with a smile: "You little bastard, even if you are only a few steps away, you still have to be carried by me."

The young security guard smiled and shouted "Okay!", then ran away.

Chen Shunwei put down his right hand, which was just for show, and his eyes were full of a relieved smile.

When they returned to the security room, Chen Shunwei went to find the property management. The group held a meeting for nearly two hours before disbanding.

The property management meant that it should be properly disclosed. In other words, they should tell everyone about the thefts that occurred in the back hills of Qingning Mountain. As for whether they would take precautions or what precautions they would take, it was not something that the staff could control.

It’s not that security guards like Chen Shunwei are irresponsible, but there are only about 10 to 20 people in total, and they are responsible for an entire community.

There is a community gate in front, villas and residential buildings in the middle, and Green Lemon Mountain in the back. With so many places to be responsible for, it is inevitable that the manpower is stretched.

Even if there are surveillance cameras in the back of the mountain, if a thief comes to steal food, they may not be able to catch him in time even if they find him. After all, this community is huge.

Therefore, this is not a problem of attitude, but a realistic situation that forces them to warn the residents of the community.

Actually, there was a makeshift house at the back of Green Lemon Mountain. When the land was first distributed to each person, someone from the security team was on duty there for a while. But then the HZ virus incident happened, so the people there were withdrawn and the makeshift house was locked.

After that, there was extreme cold and an earthquake, so no one was sent to guard the place again.

Chen Shunwei thought that this time he would have to arrange for someone to live there again.

However, the conditions at the back of Qingning Mountain are very poor. There is not even a toilet. The water pipe was connected with great difficulty using a plastic one, but it often fails to release water due to insufficient water pressure. It is really unbearable for ordinary people.

Fortunately, the summer harvest is coming soon, and each person’s shift only lasts a few days, so it will be over if we persist.

He left the property and just returned to the security room when he received a group notification from the property. He took a look and thought there was nothing wrong, so he put the matter out of his mind.

But people should not be too reassured too early. The experience of those pioneers was just the beginning. That night, more than ten square meters of a certain owner's land was dug up by someone.

This happened when a security guard in the security room saw a figure acting suspiciously in the surveillance video and couldn't figure out whether it was the owner or a thief, so he asked his colleagues to go over and take a look. The person was scared away and no serious consequences were caused.

But this incident also gave them a wake-up call.

That is, having a surveillance camera does not mean you can rest assured. In the middle of the night, the security guards have to sleep, and if they are not careful, they will miss any unusual movements. And even if they do not sleep, they cannot tell clearly from the video with average resolution whether it is the owner or the thief.

This is not a normal time. Almost no one would go to the fields in the middle of the night. The sun is scorching now, and most people choose to go out at night. And it is normal for them to go to the fields to work or harvest in the middle of the night, right?

Chen Shunwei sent a group message about last night's incident again through the property management, and also sent out the difficulties they faced in their work.

The owners all expressed their understanding after seeing this, but some began to panic. It was finally time to harvest, and if someone targeted their fields, what would they do if they lost their harvest?

But these are in the minority.

Most people felt there was no need to worry because they had put up barbed wire around their fields and it was working.

However, they were happy a little too early...

----------

After Shen Yanming confirmed that plants would be affected by sunlight, he has been worried about the wheat in his field. However, he didn't want to make his wife worry, so he forced himself to smile every night when he got home, pretending that nothing had happened.

But Bi Qiaoan had lived with him for so many years, how could she not see it? She just didn't see through his cover-up.

Shen Yanming felt upset, so he ignored everything and hid back in his space. Three days later, he came out and saw the reminder from the property management.

At this moment, Shen Yanming's heart finally settled down.

The thing he was most worried about happened.

It’s hard to say whether they took the risk because they noticed that the plants were starting to wither, but the chaos began anyway.

Shen Yanming took a deep breath and called Zhang Heping. He first asked him how he was doing recently, and then talked about the fields at home.

"What? Wheat!" Zhang Heping was surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I have land. The hospital has been very busy recently, and I haven't had a rest since I came back from you. I haven't even been home, let alone working in the fields.

But haven’t you and Lao Ji always taken care of our land? You might as well ask him instead of asking me.”
