Chapter 66: Killing and Handing the Knife
Both the Gu siblings and the Lou mother and daughter had killed people with their own hands in internal fights at the resort and had seen big scenes.
I was not too shocked by the bloody scene before my eyes.
Everyone looked at the burly bald man who fell in front of the girl.
Blood was all over the ground, but there was no ground heating in the walkway and the temperature was very low. Blood frost soon condensed and slowly crawled up the wound on the man's back.
The knife wound was in the lung, making it difficult for him to breathe. He had lost so much blood, I'm afraid he won't survive.
But then the girl fainted at the door of her house out of shock...
Who says women are inferior to men? It’s just that they don’t have a weapon that suits them!
And Mu Jiu was the one who handed the knife.
This sharp dagger that suddenly appeared was stuffed into the girl's pocket by her at the moment when the man threatened Mu Jiu.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should go back. Remember to pay for the heating, water and electricity when you go downstairs, otherwise it will be very cold in this room."
Mu Jiu said calmly, as if the murder just now had not happened. He stepped straight over the corpse on the ground and walked towards the stairs.
"Okay!" Gu Yang and the others all knew how to read people's expressions. Since Mu Jiu didn't say anything, then this matter had nothing to do with them, and they couldn't bring themselves into trouble.
As a result, when they got downstairs, everyone went to the security department to swipe their cards to pay for their points. When Mu Jiu entered the door, he was terrified and said to the police uncles inside with a slightly crying tone:
"There was a quarrel upstairs, and a bald man with a knife was chasing a little girl all over the hallway!
We were so scared that we ran down quickly, fearing that something might have happened. Please send someone up to check it out right away!
Otherwise, someone might die!"
Mu Jiu changed his usual indifference and calmness, and instead put on an expression of fear like a little girl, as if he had seen someone holding a knife for the first time.
She looked so pitiful that if you didn't know her well, you would really have trouble telling whether it was real or fake.
Gu Yang and others who were following behind her couldn't help but give her a thumbs up and were led to act together.
"Don't worry, little girl. We'll send someone up to take a look right away!"
Immediately, all the guards from the Security Department were dispatched, carrying electric batons, pistols and other weapons, ready to go upstairs to prevent riots.
The old man who was guarding the door was the only one left. He asked curiously, "You look unfamiliar. Did you just move in?"
Mu Jiu nodded and placed the fire starter cards of several people and a pack of cigarettes on the old man's table.
“We just moved into Building 66 today. This is just a small token of our appreciation. Please take good care of us in the future!
Please help us turn on the heating, water and electricity upstairs.
I have to move my luggage in the next two days, so I may need to use the transport patio in the middle. I will trouble you to open the patio lock when the time comes!"
The old man took the cigarettes and took out a registration book and a card machine from the drawer with a smile.
He handed the notebook and pen to Mu Jiu, "Oh, it's just a small matter! You are too polite, little girl!
Please fill in your name and room number, and I will use your card to activate water, electricity and heating!"
The old man seemed to remember something and whispered:
“If you need to buy old furniture, hardware or other hardware equipment, you can come to me directly.
I can give you a 50% discount, it’s definitely cheaper than the commercial company across the street!”
"Okay, I'll definitely find you!"
Mu Jiu pursed his lips. It seemed that the officials were not having an easy time either.
Even those who hold lucrative jobs are secretly looking for business opportunities, which shows that supplies are becoming increasingly scarce.
Come to think of it, it has been a year and a half since the end of the world and the extreme cold began, and most of the official grain reserves have been consumed.
It is unknown how long the relief food can be distributed until effective supplies are found.
But everything has not yet reached the worst, and it is not yet Mu Jiu's turn to worry about official affairs.
In just a short while of talking and working, the police who went upstairs to quell the riot had already come down.
"Quick, quick, quick, the people in front of us, please get out of the way. Don't block us from getting the patient to the hospital!"
The two policemen in front carried the bald man with white frost on his face, and the policeman behind held the unconscious little girl and ran out.
"Oh my! This is truly a sin!" The gatekeeper exclaimed as he watched this horrifying scene.
"Fortunately, you little girls are kind-hearted and came down to remind me. Oh my, it's really scary! I think I'm crazy!
I know that father and daughter. They were the first group of people to move to the base.
The man and his wife were both engineers involved in the construction of the base.
But her wife had an accident not long ago and was crushed to death at a construction site, and the government also compensated her with a large sum of pension points.
Ever since his wife passed away, the man started to behave abnormally. He often beat and scolded the little girl in front of others. I saw it several times...
When you guys just came down and said someone was stabbing someone with a knife, I guessed it was their family. What a sin!
Poor child! "
After hearing what the old man said, Mu Jiu did not express his opinion, but also showed a sympathetic expression.
But some of the old man's words sounded a little strange to her, but she couldn't tell what was strange now, so she had to observe carefully in the future...
After saying goodbye to the old man, Mu Jiu and his group drove back to the resort.
Ever since the distribution of all the supplies on the farm was completed, the entire resort has become deserted, with each family packing up their luggage and preparing to move to the base.
Mu Jiu decorated her villa, including sofas, carpets, lamps, etc.
As well as the whole-house heating facilities, air circulation system, security system, power system, etc. in the yard.
Anything that could be disassembled was packed up and put into the space.
All the various flowers planted in the front yard and the chickens and ducks raised in the backyard were taken care of by the space manager Beibei.
She thought that after moving to the base, she could use the small balcony to build a small garden and plant some vegetables and fruits to cover the supplies in the space.
Regarding moving, the Gu siblings and the Lou mother and daughter all came to ask Mu Jiu to borrow a car.
Without saying a word, Mu Jiu gave the Mercedes-Benz van that had been used in the factory to the mother and daughter of the Lou family.
This makes it convenient for them to transport the large piles of flowers and plants in the sunroom over, which will definitely come in handy in the future.
He also gave the super heavy truck that was used in the industrial park to the Gu brothers and sisters.
It is convenient to transport the tens of thousands of kilograms of frozen fish they have stored in the yard, as well as the various mountain products they have stored for a long time and the various food supplies they have been distributed.
Mu Jiu used the Mercedes-Benz truck that had once helped the Gu family transport corpses, and picked up some unimportant supplies and loaded them into the truck.
These vehicles have been used on open roads, and lending them out will not arouse suspicion.
Mu Jiu advised them to keep only a small portion of the food and send the rest to the Government Affairs Hall to exchange for points.
Although the resettlement building is a single room and the environment is much better than that of the shelter, too many supplies are likely to be coveted by others.
The door locks in the resettlement building are not very sturdy and reliable, and are certainly not comparable to the resort's Class A anti-theft doors.
Everyone was busy with the moving work, and even when the half-month period agreed with the authorities was up, everyone was still on the road.
Mu Jiu's villa had been demolished by her until almost nothing was left.
The Gu family and the Lou family followed suit and moved in wherever they could fit in the resettlement housing at the base, and exchanged points for anything that couldn't be accommodated.
Adhering to one point, when people leave, the building will be empty and absolutely nothing will be left!
It’s a pity that there will be no natural hot spring water for bathing in the future, but fortunately there is official 24-hour hot water supplied in the resettlement housing.
The large military force arrived in the afternoon of the agreed time, with more than 50 military vehicles arriving in a row, making a huge presence.
In addition to the soldiers, there also arrived 100 planting experts with important tasks and a large amount of supplies.
They were shocked and disgusted when they saw the simple greenhouses and the straw left after the crops were harvested...
What is shocking is that there are actually people who can actually do it, growing food in the mountains just by burning firewood to keep warm.
What I disliked was the simple greenhouse. Because no one took care of it, in just half a month, half of the greenhouse had collapsed...
As the people in the resort have been busy with the moving task, they haven't gone up the mountain to chop firewood for heating in the greenhouse for some time.
The constantly flying snowflakes accumulated on the roof of the plastic greenhouse and could not melt. The piles driven by the light steel were not too deep, and the weight was overloaded, so it collapsed naturally.
Much of the land has even re-frozen and turned into permafrost, which needs to be burned and thawed again before it can be used.
But the transaction has been completed, and these follow-up matters are no longer under Mu Jiu's jurisdiction.
After all, they understand the market situation of points. The base leaders themselves are just trying to get by with a very low price, so how much better after-sales service do they expect?
Now that the experts have taken over, they have expectations and tasks, so they have to do a good job.
This is a great opportunity for them to show off their skills and take credit in front of the base leaders!
