Chapter 69 Extremely Hot [VIP]
During the power supply period after nightfall, all 40 villas in Jiangnan Liyuan turned on their lights and cooling equipment, making it as bright as day.
Assuming there are seven or eight people holding each building, nearly hundreds of people will rush into Jiangnan Liyuan in an instant. If this gets chaotic, it will be no joke.
Besides, the official personnel had just left, so the refugees stayed quiet for a while.
They either stay in the villa to escape the heat, or go out in teams to look for supplies, or wait in line to receive official rescue.
But now it is becoming increasingly difficult to go out and look for supplies, because most of the supplies have long been collected by organizations of all sizes, and it is difficult to find those who are left alone. Luo Qi, Li Feiyang and others have returned empty-handed several times.
Tang Tian thought for a moment and came up with another idea.
She secretly inquired about it, and it seemed that no one in Jiangnan Liyuan knew about the business deal between her, Liang Xiaoliang and Yu Hongchuan.
And since she is not going to the trading market now, she might as well use this place as a temporary trading point!
Thinking of this, she immediately contacted Luo Qi and Li Feiyang and explained the idea to them.
All they needed to do was advertise and spread the news, and this time Tang Tian decided to pay them.
When they heard that there would be a reward, Luo Qi and others and Li Feiyang were very happy.
They were worried about not being able to find supplies to survive when they went out, and Tang Tian's strength was naturally needless to say, she could definitely afford it.
As for discovering that Tang Tian was still trading those valuable items, Luo Qi and Li Feiyang did not ask any more questions this time, but listened to Tang Tian go out to advertise.
There is no need to ask those refugees anymore, as it is probably impossible to get anything out of them, so they still go out every day.
In addition to the communities where there are still survivors, they will also temporarily enter the S District Shelter to advertise under the identities of outsiders.
After all, there are trading markets and rich people there, and the chances of them having valuables around are higher.
As expected, with Luo Qi and Li Feiyang's publicity, some people in the shelter actually drove to Jiangnan Liyuan and exchanged valuables for supplies.
Some are ordinary people who are reluctant to throw away their gold and jade ornaments, while others are wealthy before the end of the world and can carry all their belongings with them, including those valuable items.
Tang Tian still looks at the volume of transactions. If the transactions are large enough, she will occasionally take out some good supplies, so that they can promote her after they return.
Luo Qi, Li Feiyang and others helped her, and Tang Tian would pay them a reward every day.
At least it can provide food and clothing, and you don't have to be subservient to a man. For the former, this job is really good.
But Jiangnan Liyuan is already full of people, so it will be discovered sooner or later.
Tang Tian didn't want to change too frequently, so he stopped trading after just two days and waited for the next round to continue.
When Luo Qi and the others took the supplies to the central villa, they would definitely be seen by other girls, and many of them would be jealous.
But they had basically torn their faces with Tang Tian, and she was also a heartless person, so she would definitely not agree no matter how much she begged.
They immediately thought of the leader Yu Wei, and vented all their anger and resentment on her, causing the faction to fall apart.
Yu Wei was not someone to be trifled with either. She quarreled with the others for a long time and from then on she hated Tang Tian even more.
But they also didn't want to go hungry, so they simply went to other villas to actively solicit business, and some people took the bait.
Later, they went back to the central villa, where they were once again immersed in extravagance and decadence.
…
On this day, Tang Tian went to the central villa as usual to teach fighting skills.
In fact, she has taught almost everything she should teach. What remains is continuous practice and actual combat. Only through practice can one make greater progress.
But she didn't expect that this time she would find an acquaintance not far from the central villa.
"I beg you, my little grandson is starving to death. You are all the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. For the sake of an old woman like me, please have pity on us and give us something to eat!"
Tang Tian looked closely and saw a woman with gray hair half-crouching against the door wall in front of the villa, muttering to herself and begging with a bitter face.
There was also a skinny child next to him, crying non-stop. The scene was so tragic.
She was very familiar with this voice - it was Choi Sooyoung!
Tang Tian didn't expect that Cui Xiuying and her grandson were still alive, nor did she expect that they would be arranged by the authorities to live in Jiangnan Liyuan.
If everyone from Hexinyuan comes, I wonder if Qiu Hongwei, Qian Peng and others will be here too?
"Old woman, I've already told you I'm out of food. You don't understand me, do you? If you keep making noise, I'll kick you out."
Yu Wei was standing on the balcony on the first floor, cursing loudly, but in the blink of an eye she saw Tang Tian.
She didn't know that the two knew each other, so she sneered:
"Look at the other person. She has much more supplies than me. It would be better for you to go find her!"
After saying that, she left the balcony.
When Cui Xiuying heard this, she turned around quickly, but when she saw the person coming, she
After all, she can remember it all!
Choi Soo stuttered.
Luo Qi and several other girls had already walked out. They had probably seen the former many times, so they ignored her and only met with Tang Tian.
He ran forward, hugged Luo Qi's thighs and cried loudly:
"Please, Auntie, I'm really hungry, just give me something to eat!"
Luo Qi decisively brushed him away. After going out these days, she had seen many more tragic scenes than this.
It's human nature to feel compassion, but over time, she learned how to harden her heart.
Besides, she doesn’t have enough to eat for herself, so how could she possibly give it to others?
The little grandson was already hungry, and he would fall down like a fallen leaf if he was pushed lightly.
Cui Xiuying immediately became anxious after seeing this, and after helping him up, she spat and cursed:
"Why are you pushing my grandson? You're a bunch of prostitutes. How could you possibly be without supplies? We can survive just by squeezing out a bite, and you won't even do that? Do you have any compassion left?!"
With Choi Sooyoung in charge, the little grandson stared at Luo Qi fiercely, almost as if he was biting off a piece of meat like a little beast.
Luo Qi looked at them coldly, but she was not angry. There was no need for unnecessary fighting at this time.
She thought about it, then calmly took out a stick-shaped object from her pocket, opened the package, and took a bite.
When the little grandson saw this, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief and immediately pulled Choi Sooyoung to cry loudly:
"Grandma, that's sausage! I want to eat sausage too!"
No matter how Choi Soo-young tried to persuade him, the little grandson just kept crying, hitting and kicking and wouldn't stop at all.
Tang Tian couldn't help but smile. It turned out that the usual methods couldn't be used to deal with naughty kids.
…
After that, she continued to contact Luo Qi and others, who continued to help promote the exchange of supplies until the authorities sent relief supplies again.
More than half a month passed, and Tang Tian felt it was time to go to the trading market.
After all, I can spend all the 20 million gold coins myself, so the more gold coins the better.
So after Tang Tian packed up, she rode her bike all the way to the market.
The person collecting entrance fees at the gate's face changed when he saw her.
After Tang Tian entered the room, he quickly waved his hand and asked his men to pass on the message.
Tang Tian came to her stall, set up her small blackboard, and waited for people to come as usual.
But after waiting for a quarter of an hour, not only did no one come, but other stalls were also empty, which made the commercial street inexplicably deserted.
Is it that no one has valuables to exchange, or is there a new trading market nearby?
Tang Tian sensed something was wrong.
"Miss Tang, how are you?"
A word suddenly rang out.
Tang Tian looked up and saw Liang Xiaoliang with his hands behind his back.
He had a smile on his face and was followed by a group of fully armed men, who looked like they had bad intentions.
It is obvious that Liang Xiaoliang has not done much business in the past month, but he has been preparing all these in secret, and today is the time to make a final decision.
Tang Tian turned her eyes to look at Liang Xiaoliang and asked calmly:
"What does this mean, Mr. Liang?"
Liang Xiaoliang said with a smile:
"I'm so sorry, Miss Tang. I really don't want to lose you, my precious child, so I have to resort to some special means. Please don't be afraid or struggle, and I won't do anything to you!"
Tang Tian sneered at these words, not knowing whether the former was smart or stupid.
She then curled her lips and said with a forced smile:
"Mr. Liang, I originally thought that you have more traffic than Zhang Huaiping, so we could come here to trade more. Since you want to break up, there is no need for us to talk anymore."
After Tang Tian finished speaking, he drew out his knife.
However, when Liang Xiaoliang saw this, he blinked with contempt in his eyes.
He naturally knew that Tang Tian could be alone in the apocalypse and complete such a large order. He either had some means or someone behind him.
But he prepared so much for today, and the former was just a young girl after all, how could she possibly win?
That big dog is well-raised and fierce, but it’s a pity that she didn’t bring it today!
It seems that I am still better.
When Liang Xiaoliang thought of this, the sneer on his face became even more ferocious. He raised his hand and gave an order:
"Go ahead! Make sure you capture her alive! She'll be very useful to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people rushed towards Tang Tian with weapons in their hands, like a passing dark cloud.
With so many people, I don’t know if there are people from the community among them, but it can be seen how long Liang Xiaoliang has been preparing. He is determined to capture Tang Tian and bring him back.
Tang Tian also sneered in her heart.
She took out the knife just for show. Facing so many people, she would of course choose to use her supernatural power to deal with them all without leaving a single one behind.
In fact, she is now releasing her skills without anyone noticing!
In the eyes of those men, Tang Tian first stood there in a daze, and when he saw them getting closer, he turned around and ran along the commercial street!
Liang Xiaoliang felt more relieved and couldn't help laughing.
He thought she was so powerful, but after seeing this human wave tactic, wasn't she still afraid? The next step is to force her to surrender!
Tang Tian released her supernatural powers while running. Smoke that was not easily detected slowly emerged from the palm of her hand, then gradually spread out and floated behind her as she ran.
The people charging ahead did smell a foul odor, but everything would spoil easily in hot weather, so they didn't take it to heart. Instead, they just stared at Tang Tian and thought about the reward Liang Xiaoliang had mentioned earlier.
But when everyone smelled the stench and the people in front began to fall down one after another, the people behind felt something was wrong.
But in the end, they still fell to the ground weakly or even fainted, spitting out large amounts of filth from their mouths.
A corps of perhaps hundreds of men was completely disintegrated before Liang Xiaoliang's eyes, leaving him petrified on the spot, his eyes wide open in disbelief, speechless.
…
Tang Tian stopped running and looked back. The commercial street, which was not particularly wide, was crowded with people.
The ground was covered with filth, which slowly turned into blood. The person in the front had even died.
Poison-attribute abilities are indeed useful, Tang Tian thought.
But facing so many people, LV1 is not enough. Fortunately, she has also unlocked several higher-level dishes, all of which are smelly dishes that can be seen in reality.
She then stepped over the corpses and came to Liang Xiaoliang with a knife in hand. Only then did he wake up from his dream.
His legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.
So she took out the knife not to deal with those men, but to deal with herself? !
"No, impossible... How did you do that!?"
Liang Xiaoliang cried out, and then felt a chill on his forehead. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Ms. Tang! I really don't want to lose you, so I resorted to this desperate measure. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time! This trading market... this market is also under your management. You can do whatever you want..."
Before he could finish his words, Tang Tian picked up a knife and finished it.
Liang Xiaoliang's limp body finally fell to the ground, and he died with his eyes open.
If I say I won’t leave anyone behind, then I won’t leave anyone behind!
Tang Tian snorted and retracted the knife and poison mist, and while no one was around, he wanted to search the commercial street.
Unfortunately, Liang Xiaoliang had something important to do today, so he cleared out the place specially, and there was not even a single piece of furniture left in the original shop.
So many people died at once, and Liang Xiaoliang was the manager of the community next door, so he must have known what to do today.
They will definitely know that it was Tang Tian who did it. It seems that this trading market can no longer continue to do business.
Fortunately, she still had a whole shelter to scrape off the oil and water.
Thinking of this, Tang Tian went straight back to Jiangnan Liyuan.
As the temperature dropped, more people came out during the day.
Nowadays, people still stay out at night and stay at home during the day. The time difference increases the opportunities to go out.
Tang Tian was still wearing a pullover cooling suit. She quickly passed by them and soon reached her destination.
"Wait, stop!"
Unexpectedly, someone appeared in the security room next to the gate of Jiangnan Liyuan. After discovering Tang Tian, he immediately came out and stopped her from moving forward.
"Out looking for supplies? Register before entering. This is the official rule!"
Perhaps because of this so-called official regulation, the man looked very confident and believed that Tang Tian would not resist.
Tang Tian immediately thought of the security department when she was still in Hexinyuan.
It seems that the refugees who were arranged to come in can finally no longer hold back.
…
With a "bang", Yu Wei was slapped to the ground. Half of her face turned red and quickly swelled up. The pain made her tears burst out from the corners of her eyes.
"Damn it, aren't you just prostitutes? Why are you still pretending to be chaste and heroic? I've taken a fancy to you, it's your blessing, and you dare not refuse it? Don't be ungrateful!"
Several men were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Food packages and beer cans were scattered on the coffee table, and there was a faint strange smell.
The middle-aged man who slapped Yu Wei was only wearing a sleeveless vest, revealing his striped arms, and had a half-smile on his face.
Several other men walked down the stairs, tightening their belts and saying dissatisfiedly:
"Boss, these girls are so naughty. Some of us even tried to commit suicide. Do you think we're that good? And those who hurt you and ran away, in my opinion, we should just kill them when we get tired of them!"
After hearing this, Song Cunlong's face turned completely gloomy.
He is the kind of person who feels that he is freer if he does not go to the official shelter, and he has also organized an armed group with his own strength, but he dare not do evil openly.
Now they were all labeled as refugees by the authorities and were placed in Jiangnan Liyuan, which was closer to the shelter. At first, they did not dare to act on their own.
Later, the girls from the central villa came to solicit business, and Song Cunlong and his group were the first to go.
But whether it is before or after the end of the world, doing this kind of thing requires paying money.
At first, Song Cunlong wanted to try something new and would give supplies to the girls he liked, but later he felt it was unnecessary, so he and his other subordinates just took the supplies for free.
Unexpectedly, the group of girls were unwilling, but most of them were powerless and were quickly subdued.
Only Luo Qi and a few others who had learned self-defense from Tang Tian fought to the end, even injuring Song Cunlong, and then fled from the central villa.
Song Cunlong slowly touched the bandaged area on his arm and snorted coldly.
Where else could those young girls escape to? They might still be in Jiangnan Liyuan. I was just careless for a moment. They'll be in trouble next time!
When Yu Wei heard this, her face turned pale instantly, and she quickly said loudly:
"Don't, don't kill me! I...I know where there are a lot of supplies!"
Song Cunlong became interested. After all, although their organization had secretly stockpiled a batch of supplies, they would eventually run out, so he asked her to continue.
Yu Wei directly confessed everything about Tang Tian, including the previous killing of Wu Ye's team, the transaction with the authorities, and the transaction of jadeite rough stones.
This matter will eventually be spread here through the information network and known to them.
Not only were there supplies, but she was also a young woman. Song Cunlong touched his chin and asked someone to get the registration form.
This registration for entry and exit is also an official order in order to better count the number of people, but it will sooner or later be exploited by those with ulterior motives.
The man went away for a moment, but came back panting, handed over the registration form and said:
"Oh no, Boss! The guy we stationed in the security room got beaten up! It's said to have been beaten by a woman!"
Song Cunlong quickly took the registration form and took a look, and found that the person he was talking about had not registered at all.
Yu Wei immediately added:
"This must be the woman who lives in Building 30! Her name is Tang Tian, and she's close to Luo Qi and the others. And she recently asked us to act as an intermediary, exchanging supplies with the people in the shelter... She must have a lot of supplies!"
Right now, she just wanted to put all the blame on Tang Tian. Of course, she hated her in her heart and wished Song Cunlong would catch her and torture her.
"Boss, she's slapping us in the face! What should we do?"
"No rush. For a woman like her to be able to guard so many supplies, she must be either very capable or have someone behind her. We can't force ourselves on such a person!"
Song Cunlong at least still had some rationality. After a long time, he decided to try to cooperate with the woman named Tang Tian, and then completely occupy and manage Jiangnan Liyuan!
…
After Tang Tian returned home, she told Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia what happened in the trading market and the security room.
Regardless of whether it was official news or not, Tang Tian didn't want to register.
But the man insisted on his own way and wanted to attack, so I could only use self-defense.
But after Tang Yi's explanation, Tang Tian realized that this was indeed a new order issued by the S District Shelter, and she also learned that there was Song Cunlong and his group.
Song Cunlong was originally the leader of the majority of refugees. It was only a matter of time before he became ambitious and wanted to take control of the entire Jiangnan Liyuan.
So when the official new instructions came down, they immediately followed them without hesitation, and the incident of breaking into the central villa also happened.
After Luo Qi and four or five other girls escaped, the first person they thought of was Tang Tian.
But the latter had gone out, and Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia couldn't let them in directly. When they asked to see her later but to no avail, they went to stay with Li Feiyang first.
I didn't expect that so many things happened during the time I was away.
The golden sun is still hanging in the sky, but the temperature has dropped to around 40 degrees, which is normal compared to before.
However, because electricity has not been fully restored, people are still accustomed to staying out at night and staying at home during the day.
So that night, Tang Tian heard a burst of shouting coming from the door of her villa, and it was specifically directed towards this side.
After stopping Tan Tan's barking, I pulled open the blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows a little. There was indeed a group of men gathered in front of the door, shouting loudly.
Tang Tian frowned, but did not open the door. Instead, she went to the first-floor balcony and asked condescendingly.
Only then did she realize that these were indeed Song Cunlong's men, and they came to request to jointly manage Jiangnan Liyuan.
Tang Tian had encountered many such things before, and she had never agreed to them. This time was even more impossible. She simply refused them firmly and ignored them.
Unexpectedly, as the temperature dropped, people became more active.
Seeing that Tang Tian refused to agree, Song Cunlong's men came to harass her several times, as if they would force her to agree if she didn't agree.
So for the last time, Tang Tian couldn't bear it anymore and went up to the balcony again. She looked at the crowd downstairs and suddenly threw something down.
“Bang!” “Bang!”
There was a crackling sound downstairs, followed by the screams of those people and splattering blood, and the whole place suddenly became a mess.
This is a long-lost superpower—energy spark!
Of course, Tang Tian had also been upgraded, and the energy sparks that exploded looked exactly like ordinary firecrackers, so they wouldn't be too suspicious.
The people gathered at the door were either killed on the spot or injured.
Those who were lucky enough not to be hit by the explosion quickly fled back, tumbling and crawling. They should not come here for a while.
When Song Cunlong learned the news, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Tang Tian is deliberately breaking up with him, so why is he still shamelessly asking for cooperation?
After all, they are just a few women. Wouldn't it be enough to just kill them and then steal all the supplies in their homes?
However, to deal with such people, you still need to plan.
For example, catch some bait and lure the snake out of its hole!
"Woof! Woof!"
The Tang family also had the same time difference as before, but they were still asleep. Tan Tan, who was originally in the nest, suddenly shouted to warn.
Tang Tian stood up immediately, and the floor-to-ceiling window not far away did make a banging sound.
She took out a knife, lifted the blinds and took a look. There were actually a few scattered stones on the ground in front of her.
This can't be just a prank.
As soon as he lifted the curtain, no one dared to throw stones at him anymore, obviously trying to attract his attention.
At this moment, she discovered that not far from the stone, there was something like a piece of paper with black words on it.
Tang Tian thought for a moment, then went to the door, opened it, and asked Tan Tan to bring the paper back.
However, after seeing the words written on it, she was shocked.
