Chapter 84 Robbery

Ji He said this was not groundless talk.

First of all, spending 500 yuan a day has become difficult for more and more people to sustain.

Nowadays, many people are kicked out of supermarkets every day because they cannot pay their mortgages or car loans and their credit is not up to standard. These people cannot buy food, and the food at home is all eaten up. What should they do?

You can't just starve to death, right?

You can only steal and rob.

By then, society will surely be in turmoil, which is the last thing the government wants to see. The government will certainly find a way to provide relief food.

But when the land is unable to harvest crops, how much food can the country provide for the people to eat?

With so many people, the amount of food they consume every day is an astronomical figure. Even if the country wants to feed them, how long can it do so?

Now that the temperature is too high, more and more people are moving to underground shelters, and they complain every day about the inconvenience of cooking.

Plus the water flow from the tap is getting thinner every day.

You never know when the water, electricity and gas will suddenly be cut off again.

Who can say for sure what will happen at that time?

Maybe life is even worse than it is now.

Ji He suppressed his thoughts and concentrated on his work.

After returning home and closing the door, Ji He breathed a sigh of relief. He still felt safe at home.

Just as I sat down and was about to drink some water, my cell phone beeped.

I picked up the phone and saw it was Uncle Yan.

"There's a robbery in the city, take some food and hide out first"

Ji He frowned, replied one message and then put down the phone.

She was not surprised by this. During this period, she could feel the increasing tension in the air every time she went out.

Ji He sat in the room, thinking about it over and over again, but still felt that it was not right and he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

She had to think of something.

I looked down at the watch. It was only 12 o'clock. The water would come at 2 a.m. If I hurried, I would still make it in time.

He stood up, took the key, and was about to lock the door and leave when he suddenly stopped.

She couldn't just leave like this. What if these criminals were so foolish as to steal their piece of land?

Wouldn't that mean all the things left in her house would be gone?

Ji He turned around and quickly put things into the space. The seasonings and food were all in the space, so there was no need to put them in. Ji He also put the dishes, chopsticks and electrical appliances that were placed outside into the space.

She had packed up the things from other rooms before, so there weren't many things left outside.

When passing by the solar generator, Ji He did not forget to take it and the freezer next to it away.

These are the two most valuable things in the house.

After packing his things, Ji He walked around the room with satisfaction.

There was only a big iron pot, a disposable lunch box, chopsticks, old tables, chairs and benches in the kitchen. She even took away the firewood and water tank.

She did leave bed sheets and some clothes in the bedroom. After all, if she took them away, it would arouse suspicion. These clothes and bed sheets had been used by the original owner for several years and were not valuable at all. If someone really liked them, they could just take them.

Making sure the house was empty so that even a thief would cry, Ji He locked the door and walked out.

She was going to get some cement and sand and come back to dig a basement. If those stupid robbers really came to rob this slum, she would have a place to hide!

There was a real estate being developed not far from her home. Before the extreme heat came, this real estate was being promoted. Ji He passed by it several times and saw a lot of sand and cement piled inside through the fence.

After the extreme heat, this thing is not in urgent need, and no one is going to get it for the time being.

But it may not be the case over time.

After all, the recycling center accepts everything.

In case someone is extremely hungry, it is possible that he could come here to transport some cement or something to exchange for points.

Ji He walked quickly all the way, avoiding any figures he saw, and finally arrived at the new building smoothly.

The building was half-built, and the ground around it had been dug up in a mess. The fences were also a bit haphazard, and it looked inexplicably creepy under the flashlight.

Ji He put the flashlight on his waist and carefully crawled in through the gap in the fence.

After entering, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she shone the flashlight around and soon saw the unattended piles of cement and sand on the ground.

After finding the things, Ji He was careful along the way, avoiding roadblocks, walking forward while following the road surface, and soon came to the sand pile.

She first shone the flashlight around, but there was no one around and it was completely silent.

Then she bent down and started moving cement.

Even at night, she had never thought of using her spatial ability directly outside. This was the foundation of her life. Wouldn't it be a big loss if she was discovered because of her laziness?

Ji He carefully followed the path under his feet and carried cement to the gaps one trip at a time.

Fortunately, she was very strong, so although a bag of cement was a bit heavy, she was still able to pull it.

Since it’s a one-time thing, Ji He might as well carry more so that he doesn’t have to come again when he needs cement in the future.

She was grunting as she moved cement in this deserted place, having no idea that things were getting completely chaotic outside tonight.

Since the government opened the supermarkets on time every night, many citizens have flocked to queue up at the supermarket entrances, so naturally the homes are empty and few people are left.

The situation was still fine at the time. Even though the temperature was rising, the people still had confidence in the government, believed in the government's ability, and were willing to abide by the law.

However, as the natural disasters became increasingly serious, the food at home became less and less, and the government had not come up with any effective solutions.

More and more people who were either desperate or just wanted to create chaos in the world began to form gangs.

They hide in the dark like mice, ready to rush out and take a bite at any time.
