Chapter 65: A Beast in Human Form
The price of one strawberry was 100 points, which surprised the Gu siblings standing behind.
After all, their entire farm only sold for 280,000 points, and the resettlement housing was negotiated by the boss.
If converted at this price, the 20,000 kilograms of strawberries harvested from those few acres of greenhouses alone could buy hundreds of farms.
Cream strawberries are not very big. There are 30-40 strawberries in one pound, and there are about 700,000 strawberries in 20,000 pounds.
Even if the official purchase price is 10 points per point, it can be exchanged for 7 million points, not to mention adding a zero!
Except for Mu Jiu, the other four people felt mixed emotions.
Mu Jiu knew that in the end times, things are scarce and valuable. People haven't seen fruits for a long time, let alone delicate ones like strawberries. They look fresh, so they are willing to buy them at a high price.
But if we really feed all the 20,000 kilograms of harvest from the farm together, who would really take out a million points to trade?
This thing not only does not fill you up, but it also cannot be stored for a long time.
After picking, you can store the strawberries in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you freeze them outdoors, they will become icicles and you won’t be able to taste the sweet strawberry flavor at all.
The people at the resort don't have a space warehouse that can keep the food fresh permanently, so this thing is just an empty bubble with no market for everyone.
The best solution might be to make long-lasting strawberry jam before the strawberries go bad.
But she had no control over the things that had been distributed to everyone. After all, she didn't lack those points, and she would rather keep the winter strawberries to savor slowly.
A few people came out of the government hall and went to the house they had chosen.
The resettlement building opposite the commercial company is Building 66 South, a very auspicious number. Mu Jiu and his group slowly climbed up to the 9th floor.
The farming work over the past six months has generally improved everyone's physical fitness to a higher level, and they can climb to 9 floors in one breath without even taking a breath.
The resettlement building is in the form of a single apartment, and the square circular corridor connects the entire floor into a circle.
The rooms are on the outside of the corridor, with 20 rooms on each floor. The inside of the corridor is wrapped with two staircases and a manual heavy-object lifting platform.
Mu Jiu lived in No. 901, the room located in the south corner. The rooms of the Gu siblings and the Lou mother and daughter were next to hers.
She used the key to open the door. The whole house had concrete walls and concrete floors, and the balcony was enclosed by glass.
In the whole house, apart from the socket at the door, the faucet in the kitchen and the squat toilet, there is nothing else, which is equivalent to a rough finish.
And because the security department on the first floor had not yet turned on the water, electricity and heating, the occupancy rate on the top floor was not high, and the entire top floor felt chilly.
Mu Jiu prepared to go back and dismantle all the items in the villa and move them here.
Obviously, the original superior environment can no longer be enjoyed here, such as her 5-meter-wide bed and oversized swimming pool.
But you no longer have to worry about being harassed by hot weapons from gangs, and you can sleep peacefully at night.
By putting pressure on patrolling troops and police, the sense of psychological security has been enhanced by more than one degree.
Mu Jiu locked the door of his house and prepared to go next door to find people from the other two families and go back to the resort together.
The door of one of the houses in the aisle suddenly opened, and a little girl rushed out in panic. When she saw Mu Jiu, she quickly ran in that direction.
Following closely behind her was a burly bald man...
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty and clean face, but she was thin and weak, and looked like she was starving to death.
Mu Jiu found that her clothes and hair were a little messy, and there were a few finger marks on her right cheek.
Mu Jiu knew exactly what was going on.
In the end times, she has seen a lot of cases of the survival of the fittest.
The most terrible thing is that the weak cannot save themselves. Even if Mu Jiu saved her this time, he couldn't save her next time or every time. It's better not to save her.
This not only saves some energy, but also prevents others from relying on her.
"Sister, please save me!" The girl ran closer and closer, crying softly.
But Mu Jiu did not respond, and even took a step back and leaned against the door of his house, obviously looking like he didn't want to care.
The girl had no choice but to continue running towards the aisle ahead to avoid being caught by the man behind her.
The man's eyes were red, and there was an irritability in his eyes that came from having his passion interrupted.
He only glanced at Mu Jiu, then quickened his pace to chase the girl in front of him, "Stop right there!"
Soon, the girl was caught by the man at the corner of the next aisle.
The man suddenly grabbed the girl's long hair, pulled it back with all his strength, and pressed her against the wall with his backhand.
Two loud slaps hit the girl's face, and the corners of her mouth started bleeding immediately.
The bald man cursed and said, "You little bitch, I told you to run, I told you to run!
I spent so much money to raise you up. Now your mother is gone, what's wrong with you letting me sleep with you?
You still have the guts to run! Look at who you eat and drink from!
Aren’t you just attracted to that boy Zhang Jin? It’s ridiculous that you want to elope at such a young age!
I'll break your legs so that you can't go out and have to lie in the house every day to serve me!
When I’ve had enough fun, I can consider selling you to the Zhang family father and son.
It can be considered as recycling waste, repaying me for raising you for so many years! Hahahaha!"
The bald man said this as he grabbed the girl's hair and dragged her towards Mu Jiu, because they would pass by Mu Jiu's door on their way back to their home.
The girl's hair was pulled and it hurt so much that she couldn't stop crying while feeling the agony.
"No, I don't want to go back. I won't... You are my stepfather, the father who raised me. How can you touch your own daughter? I won't go back..."
The girl tried her best to break free from the big hand, but women are always weaker than men.
A piece of the girl's scalp was torn off from her forehead... She was shaking with pain.
“Help, help… Help… Please let me go…”
Mu Jiu, a bystander, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was true that a child without a mother was just a weed.
It just so happens that the perpetrator of the violence is someone he respects. He was a kind and amiable father yesterday, but today he has turned into a brutal and ferocious villain.
"Beast." Mu Jiu whispered this when the man dragged the girl past her.
"What did you say?" The bald man stopped suddenly when he heard this and glared at Mu Jiu fiercely.
"The girl is pretty, but you'd better not meddle in other people's affairs!"
The door next to Mu Jiu was suddenly opened, and Gu Yang stuck his head out, "Sister, what happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"
At once, both families came out. With more people around, the bald man restrained his fierce expression and quickly dragged the girl back to his house.
The girl tried to break free with her hands and feet, she knew that once she entered the door, she would be doomed...
While struggling, the girl suddenly felt something in her trouser pocket. She reached out and found it was a small dagger!
The girl suddenly got angry, took out a dagger from her pocket, and stabbed the bald man in the back several times, blood splattered everywhere...
