Chapter 267: Get Out If You Don’t Want to Do It
"Mr. Lin, what should we do now?"
"All the supplies in my house have been taken away. I have nothing left."
"My dad is seriously injured. Does anyone have medicine?"
Everyone was complaining and complaining, but now almost every family has suffered losses, and no one has the obligation to help others.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Lin Huaishu said. "The most urgent thing now is to clean up the bodies in the community. If we don't, they will rot in a few days and breed bacteria. If the plague spreads, none of us will survive."
"Shouldn't these things be done by official departments?"
"Do we have to collect the bodies ourselves?"
"We are the only ones left in my family, mother and I. I can't do this."
Lin Huaishu glanced down coldly, "Do you know how many riots there are in the city? There are only a few officials working for the government. You might as well rely on yourself instead of them."
"This is the end of the world. It's no longer the time for you to boss people around. Aren't the lessons we've learned in the past two days enough? You're still so high and mighty, trying to order others around. Do you have what it takes?"
"Ask yourselves, what have you done for the authorities? If our Lin family hadn't donated a large amount of supplies, the police wouldn't have come today. Everyone in our community would have died!"
"You're still being picky. You can't do this or that. Those who can't do it, get out of the community!"
Seeing that Mr. Lin was angry, everyone was afraid to say anything.
If I were kicked out of the community, I would not be able to survive.
"In addition to the large number of refugees involved in the riots, some were also community security guards. It was their collaboration from within and without that allowed the rioters to enter the community so quickly."
"Why is this happening? It has a lot to do with your daily behavior. You take advantage of your wealth and treat them like guard dogs instead of humans. You insult and beat them. They are human beings too, and any human being would resist."
"Look at the Zhao family. No one survived. If you had been more polite to them, this wouldn't have happened."
Some people were dissatisfied, saying, "They received such high salaries and food, yet they betrayed us. They are a bunch of despicable people!"
"Yes, they have lost their conscience and will not die a good death!"
Lin Huaishu was speechless. They were still saying such things at this time. Did they want to do it again?
It’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with kind words, Lin Huaishu really doesn’t want to waste his breath anymore.
"In order to prevent this from happening again, I suggest that each family send two people to take turns on duty. This way, no one will betray us, right?" Lin Rui said.
"What? We have to be on duty ourselves?"
"I can't do it?"
"How tiring is that?"
“Who pays us?”
Lin Rui was so angry that he wanted to curse, "You are working for us now, and you still want a salary? If you don't want to work, get out!"
"No one is obligated to help you for free. You think you're still a high and mighty family. Don't you know how much you're worth?"
Everyone was silent. Many families had almost lost all their supplies. Although some people had hidden some, and some might have been found in other places, their supplies had already been severely damaged.
On the contrary, the Lin family had hot weapons and did not suffer much loss, and the gap between them and the Lin family became increasingly larger.
"If anyone feels it's hard and doesn't want to do it, just get out of the community. We won't let you suffer any loss. Your villa will be purchased by our Lin family."
Everyone fell silent again. If they left the villa area, they would be killed in minutes. At least the Lin family was in charge here.
"What about those whose entire family has died?" someone asked.
"Why don't you wake them up and ask them to be on duty?" Lin Rui glared at the man. Isn't that nonsense? What else can he do?
"There is only a three-year-old child left in Villa No. 17. Whoever is willing to adopt him will own the villa." Lin Huaishu said.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Who would have the time to raise someone else's child at this time? What's the use of having an extra villa? You can't eat it. When the thugs come, you can't even defend your own villa, so how can you defend someone else's?
No one spoke.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other. They couldn't possibly adopt this child. The child was too young and would be a big trouble.
Although he is pitiful, life is too difficult in this last days and they don't want to be saints.
Cai Qin held Guoguo's hand tightly, looked at the child, and shook her head. She couldn't even take care of one, let alone two.
Seeing that no one was willing, Lin Huaishu felt helpless. He couldn't just leave the child alone at home, otherwise he would starve to death in two days.
Let’s leave him at the Lin family first. The eldest child is only six or seven years old, and the two children can still play together.
After the meeting, Lin Rui began to divide into groups, with several people working in a group to clean up the bodies from various places.
Some people hid in the villa and never came out. When they saw those horrific corpses for the first time, they were so scared that they vomited.
The socialite was horrified, but had to endure the nausea and help carry the corpse.
Yang Qing, Leng Yi and Lu Lin were naturally a group. They started by cleaning up the bodies in front of their own houses. There were dozens of them, more than in front of anyone else's house.
The bodies were lifted up and placed in a concentration area. The Lin family's bodyguards then lifted the bodies onto a truck and took them to an officially designated location for destruction.
For some, their families cannot bear to transport the bodies away, so they can only keep them at home for a day of memorial service, and then burn them with gasoline themselves, leaving some ashes.
It was impossible to have a grand funeral at this time. The crematorium was full of smoke and there was no time to deal with the body separately, so they had to burn it themselves.
Otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable if it stinks.
Other people's things were thrown out without hesitation, like a dead dog. Reality is so cruel.
It took two days to dispose of all the bodies.
The Lin family cleaned out several families that had lost their entire families, found some of the hidden food and medicine, and distributed them to those in need.
Then everyone started taking turns on duty.
Those who are not on duty start to reinforce their homes and no longer use those flashy things. Solid walls and explosion-proof doors and windows are the most useful.
For a while, Cai Qin's business was booming and only she could get those things.
She made a fortune overnight, and no one looked down on her as a middleman anymore.
When it was Yang Qing's turn to be on duty, they would bring Aqi and Xiaoxue with them. As soon as there was any sign of trouble, the two dogs would immediately become alert, thus avoiding several small-scale sneak attacks.
So everyone followed suit, and families with dogs kept their dogs with them to give them a greater sense of security.
The young ladies patrolled while complaining in their high heels, and gradually adapted to the situation. They knew that times were different now and it was no longer the time for them to show off their power. If they didn't do what they wanted, they would be kicked out and no one would indulge them anymore.
During this period, Leng Yi asked Li Liang, Jiang Hao and others about the situation. Their door was smashed open and almost all their supplies were stolen.
Fortunately, there weren’t many things to begin with, and if they were gone, I could only earn more.
Later, with the introduction of Li Shengnan, he also became a security patrolman, so at least he could earn a living.
Li Shengnan and the others were fine, after all, they were in the administrative center and had official guards, so there was not much loss.
However, when they went out on patrol, they often encountered some thugs and stragglers, which led to conflicts and caused them to suffer minor injuries several times.
