Chapter 27 27 Ren Tian's Thoughts
After agreeing on the next plan, Rong Xianxian began to pack up her things to take to the safe zone. Since the houses in the safe zone had not been built yet, they could only live in tents.
In her previous life, Rong Xianxian took away the luxurious and sturdy yurt tent, but she didn't know that she had been targeted by a former patient while she was queuing up to register.
She was a woman in her fifties who had been treated in Rong Xianxian's clinic. Because the treatment course was relatively long, she added her as a WeChat friend. There were many patients in this situation, and generally there would be no contact after the treatment, so Rong Xianxian did not remember her. However, the middle-aged woman who claimed to be "I am your Aunt Zhang" was very enthusiastic and excited.
She came to the safe zone with her husband and son, a few days earlier than Rong Xianxian.
Because everyone had to go to work on time and all survival supplies had to be exchanged for work points, the three of them looked dusty and in a very miserable state, especially her son, who was about 30 years old. He probably had never done physical work before the end of the world, so he had a hunched back and a dull expression.
When Rong Xianxian saw how enthusiastic that person was towards her, she inexplicably felt that she had bad intentions.
Facts have proved that Rong Xianxian's guess was correct. The man wanted to take the tent for himself, including Rong Xianxian himself. Because the army's casualty rate was relatively high and the army's doctors were completely overloaded, medical personnel were urgently recruited in the safe zone, and the work points given to doctors were quite high.
The man persuaded Rong Xianxian to join the army and she helped take care of the children.
Rong Xianxian was already very cautious and flatly refused.
At that time, she still had some supplies at home, and she entered the safe zone to gather information and understand the situation outside. The subsidies provided by the safe zone to young children and some supplies she brought to the safe zone were enough to support her for a while.
But the man was not reconciled. Although he did not dare to kill anyone, he got a gangster drunk and instigated him to enter Rong Xianxian's tent, hoping to scare her into accepting their family's help.
Although Rong Xianxian was a woman, she was a woman who came from a hospital and had a child with her. When she found someone breaking into her tent, she was not afraid but angry.
The drunk was beaten until his face was bruised and blue, three of his ribs were broken, all the joints of his body were dislocated, and his pockets were searched. The "True Spirit Sutra" was taken from the drunk.
Although she did not suffer any loss, she did not find out that it was Aunt Zhang who did it. Because the drunk was seriously injured, the army required Rong Xianxian to enter the military hospital to compensate for the negligence of excessive self-defense.
Rong Xianxian agreed to help Aunt Zhang take care of the child, but she asked her to do so in the hospital.
It was not until later that Aunt Zhang ran over in a panic and said that the child was missing. Rong Xianxian's first reaction was to go find the drunk man. She did not find out the whereabouts of the child, but unexpectedly learned that the drunk man dared to break into her tent at the instigation of Aunt Zhang's family.
Later, the children were found outside the safe zone. Xuanxuan said that it was the grandmother who coaxed them out of the hospital and handed them over to a strange uncle, who then abandoned them here.
Full of fear, Rong Xianxian didn't bother to cause trouble for those people. She took the opportunity when the army was on a mission to the community near her home, packed her things, and returned home with her children.
At that time, most of those who ran out because they were unwilling to stay in the safe zone and suffer oppression were young and middle-aged people, and there were at least ten of them. When Rong Xianxian took her two children out of the safe zone, no one stopped them.
Rong Xianxian stayed at home with her child until the third month of the apocalypse, until a giant bird broke into the house through the window.
While packing, Rong Xianxian recalled her experiences in her past life. There was a knock on the door, "bang bang bang". It came from the security door.
Cui Lie and his team went to the gas station to collect supplies today, so they shouldn’t be back so soon. Could it be that the two people on the tenth floor brought people here to cause trouble?
Ever since Cui Lie shaved the scalp of the man with the sword last time, they have been living in peace recently.
"Who is it?" There was no peephole on the security door, so I couldn't see anything. I just asked to see if anyone answered.
"We are rescue workers from the army. Do you need help?" the man outside the door replied.
Rong Xianxian became alert instantly. She used a telescope to look at the two entrances of the community, but saw nothing.
Just like the last rescue of the University of Light Industry, if the troops came to rescue, there would be at least thousands of survivors in the community who needed to be evacuated, and it would be impossible for there to be no movement at all.
"We are just an advance team. The main force is still behind. We came here to understand the general situation of the people who need rescue." The person outside seemed to guess what Rong Xianxian was worried about and spoke in time.
"This is my officer ID." The person outside slipped a small card through the crack in the door.
Rong Xianxian told the two children to hide and not come out no matter what noise they heard. Rong Xianxian couldn't figure out what these people were here for. Since they were here under the banner of the army and Rong Xianxian needed to go to the safe zone, it would be bad to refuse them entry.
Rong Xianxian opened the door and the black muzzles of guns were pointed at her.
Rong Xianxian saw Ren Tian pointing a gun at her with a calm face at a glance. She had long felt that Ren Tian was a ruthless character. Rong Xianxian thought she had done her best, but she didn't expect that she would still let a wolf into the house.
"What do you mean?" Rong Xianxian ignored Ren Tian and looked at the other people in military uniforms.
"We heard that you took my brother's things, so we came here to help him." A greasy-haired and powdered guy looked at Rong Xianxian with ill intentions. Even though he was wearing a military uniform, he didn't look like a soldier at all.
Is the army expanding now?
"What did I take from you?" Rong Xianxian frowned slightly and looked at Ren Tian.
"Make a talisman book, and a phoenix umbrella!" Ren Tian looked at Rong Xianxian and said word by word. His voice sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
"It was agreed long ago that we would share the skills and I would pick the items first. It was you who agreed to the exchange, and you gave up the talisman book yourself. I have compensated you. If I hadn't taken you in, you would have lost your life long ago. Now you are repaying my kindness with enmity." Rong Xianxian said calmly.
Some people are born ungrateful. They take any benefits given to them by others for granted, but they cannot take any advantage of them. It is obvious that Ren Tian is such a person.
Perhaps in Ren Tian's opinion, Rong Xianxian should just keep providing them with free food and drink.
"Have you been staring at this place?" Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that Ren Tian and his men appeared when Cui Lie and the others went out?
"That's right, hand over the Phoenix Umbrella, the Talisman Book, and all the weapons in your hands!" Ren Tian's slightly dark face looked calm and composed without a trace of urgency, as if he had it all planned out and everything was under control.
"I saved your life, but you repay me like this!" Rong Xianxian was thinking as she spoke, why did Ren Tian do this, was it just to take back the weapon? Was there someone behind this?
Before she was burned to death in her previous life, she heard Yunshan tell that woman that this was our last chance. So how many of the dangers she encountered before were man-made?
"You saved my life, yes, but you were too fair to me. I arrived here with Wang Lin and the others, but you put me in a group with Ren Cheng and those losers. You treated Cui Lie and the others who came later with you sincerely, and they got more than me. The Phoenix Umbrella should have been mine, so why did you force me to exchange it?" Ren Tian looked like he didn't even realize what he had done.
"Aren't you brothers from the same family?" Rong Xianxian was speechless. Ren Cheng came here for Ren Tian, and the two were brothers from the same clan. On the surface, it didn't seem that Ren Tian disliked Ren Cheng at all. In fact, others accepted Ren Cheng for Ren Tian's sake.
As for fairness, how can there be absolute fairness when so many people act together?
Looking at Rong Xianxian, Ren Tian sneered and said, "I know you are stalling for time, thinking of waiting for Cui Lie and the others to come back!"
When the other people heard Ren Tian say this, they looked at each other and laughed in tacit understanding and complacency.
Rong Xianxian's heart skipped a beat.
"They can't come back, and they might be dead now." Ren Tian said viciously.
