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 547 Punishment

Chapter 547 Punishment

"As for those owners..."

The policeman was a little speechless when he said this. "He was just blinded by anger and his mind and hands were out of control."

"Who would believe this reason? It sounds like nonsense!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile, but his tone could not hide the sarcasm.

Her ridicule was not directed at the police who explained the problem to them, but at the owner who gave this reason.

Her old man Shen came to their rescue to save them from being hacked to death, but they turned around and confronted him with swords. It was really funny!

The police sighed and said, "I understand your thoughts, but when we interrogated the owners separately, we got the same statement. Logically speaking, there is no possibility of collusion between them, so...

But don't worry, we will continue to follow up. If there is any news, you can ask Lao Ji to inform you."

Bi Qiaoan was not the kind of person who would not forgive others. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"As you should!" said the policeman.

Before Bi Qiaoan could ask something, he sensed an unusual movement in the space.

She looked inside and found that the two babies had woken up and were crying loudly. Although the sound was not loud and there were no tears, it still made her, as a mother, very distressed.

Shen Yanming noticed her change and quickly asked with his eyes: "Baby is awake?"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, then sat down on the chair, concentrating on using his consciousness to check on his son and daughter in the space.

Shen Yanming stepped forward without saying a word, and then asked the police: "What kind of punishment will be given to these criminals?"

He did this because he didn't want others to notice that Bi Qiaoan was different. Although she looked like an ordinary person, it seemed quite abrupt that she suddenly became quiet from being an active questioner.

In that case, why don't you say something to attract their attention.

Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.

The policeman was silent for a moment, then said, "They won't be sentenced to death, nor will they go to jail. Although stealing food is a serious crime, the human race has suffered heavy losses since the end of the world, so they will accept other punishments, such as infrastructure construction or farming."

"Isn't that almost the same as a laborer?" Shen Yanming asked.

“Not quite. The laborers work eight to ten hours a day, get paid, get benefits, have social status and have time to rest.

However, those who made mistakes were only allowed to rest for eight hours a day and had to work the rest of the time. Moreover, they had no relevant welfare benefits, and their daily life was probably just barely enough to not starve to death or get tired to death. All the output would also be used to help the victims.

Although they won’t go to jail, their lives will definitely be hard. As for the length of their sentence, it will be determined based on the severity of their crime.”

Shen Yanming nodded from time to time, as if he was listening carefully, but his thoughts had already run into the space.

Although Qiao An didn't say what happened to the babies, it was nothing more than waking up, crying, defecating, or being hungry. No matter what the situation was, without their parents around, Lao Shen, as a father, was still very worried.

Therefore, Shen Yanming didn't pay much attention to the police's answer, but he still said casually: "Well, not bad, this punishment is very good!"

Then he chatted with the other party about a few more issues. It was not until he felt a small hand tugging at his clothes from behind that he stopped talking and prepared to leave.

What did Bi Qiaoan do during this time? Of course, she used her consciousness to feed the babies!

When she found the two babies woke up, she was a little anxious. But she was still rational and used her consciousness to untie the diapers of the two babies. After checking that they were not defecated, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the next thing is to think about how to feed them.

Although he could borrow an office from Ji Kangyong, or hide in the bathroom before entering the space, the reason required and the time consumed were likely to make people suspicious.

Also, she went out today and was exposed to so many people and the sun. Although she was wrapped tightly, she didn't dare to be careless, for fear of bringing any threat to the baby.

Finally, Bi Qiaoan decided to feed the babies with formula milk. This was the first time she fed them without breast milk since giving birth to them.

She used her consciousness to boil the spiritual spring water, then opened the milk powder can, took out a certain amount and put it in the bottle, then poured the boiled spiritual spring water into it.

Shake the bottle consciously to dissolve the milk powder, then put the bottle in cold water to chill it.

That means they use good glass, otherwise the bottle would explode due to the sudden changes in temperature.

When he felt it was about time, Bi Qiaoan reached into the backpack he was carrying, took out the bottle from the space, and manually felt its temperature. After confirming that there was no problem, he fed the two babies.

Because her hand was in the backpack and she didn't take it out, no one knew what she was doing and just thought she was rummaging around.

When the bottle returned to the space and flew towards the two little babies, the two little ones with their big black eyes opened and crying stopped crying instantly and looked at the flying bottle in amazement.

After Bi Qiaoan found out, he let the bottle fly twice before feeding them. The little baby had an instinct, and although he felt that this was different from what he usually ate, he still started sucking the nipple the moment it entered his mouth.

Then they found that the taste was surprisingly good, not worse than what they usually eat.

After the two little babies finished drinking, they both burped. Bi Qiaoan patted them gently with his consciousness, and the two little babies smiled without teeth.

In order to prevent them from feeling lonely, Bi Qiaoan would occasionally touch the small airplanes and bells hanging on the crib with her mind, show them some new and interesting toys in the space, and even play soothing music on her mobile phone.

But no matter what, it's not as good as hugging and kissing them. And if they poop, I can change their diapers with my mind, but it seems a bit difficult to wash their butts. So I'd better go home quickly.

On this point, she and Shen Yanming had a tacit understanding. She tugged at the corner of her clothes, and then she heard her husband Shen say, "Okay, this matter is almost done, we will leave first. If there is any situation, just tell Kang Yong, he can represent me with full authority."

The policeman nodded and said, "Okay, take care."

Then, Ji Kangyong took a few people out of the office.

He knew that the couple was worried about their children, so he did not try to keep them. He just told them not to worry about the harvest on Green Lemon Mountain and that he would go and collect it in the evening.

Shen Yanming thought of his own injuries, so he didn't bother to be polite with Ji Kangyong. Yu Shui offered to come over to help, but Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong declined.

In his puzzled look, Shen Yanming explained: "There's not much left, just let Lao Ji finish it. Besides, there's Chen Shunwei, his land is almost harvested, come over and do some work, and the job will be done."

After hearing this, Yu Shui did not insist.

After saying goodbye to Ji Kangyong, they drove back to the escort team.
