Inspection statistics?
Several people were slumped in their chairs in the small cubicle, waiting to recover their strength. When they heard the knock on the door, they looked at each other.
Qiao Xuejun: "Who's going to take a look?"
She had exerted a lot of effort today, her legs were so tired that she didn't want to move at all.
The reservoir was made of mud mixed with bamboo fiber, built with stones and bricks to look like a pool, and covered with a layer of intact waterproof ground film. The pool was quite large, enough for the four of them to use for a week.
Wang Juanfeng moved the fastest, but as soon as she stood up, Kuang Qianli beside her pulled her to sit down: "You sit down, I'll go."
He shook his sore arms and walked out.
Qiao Xuejun also raised his hand and rubbed his shoulders. After swinging the shovel for several days, his hands didn't feel like his own anymore.
Qiao Xuejun closed her eyes and heard the noise coming from Kuang Qianli outside.
"Are you from the First Base?" The voice of Kuang Qianli pushing open the observation window baffle.
The person outside said in a loud voice: "Yes, come out and register your information!"
Kuang Qianli: "Isn't there no one in charge now? What's the matter with your registration information?"
Kuang Qianli didn't open the door.
The person outside answered, "No one was in charge before, but now the entire mountain is under the control of the First Base. Our lord will be responsible for maintaining the current order."
Kuang Qianli was surprised: "Are you talking about Captain Zhao of the Mountain Leopard Squadron?"
"Who else could it be?"
Kuang Qianli's voice was a little hesitant: "You guys are still carrying guns, how do I know if you can be trusted? What if I open the door and you come in and steal things?"
The person outside laughed: "You are quite cautious. Well, since we can hear it clearly, let's register. How many people are there in your family? What's your relationship? Are you male or female? How old are you?"
The other party did not insist on him opening the door, and Kuang Qianli's voice became much more relaxed, and he answered all the questions one by one.
The soldier outside seemed a little surprised: "You all don't have the same last name."
Kuang Qianli nodded: "Yes, we are friends, and we formed a team after the disaster. What's wrong, do all those people outside have the same surname?"
"It's about the same. Most people have the same surname. There are also some like you, who don't have the same surname, but they are a minority. Hey, you said there's a girl here, whose surname is Qiao? She's in her twenties?"
When Qiao Xuejun heard this, she opened her eyes. It seemed that this sentence mentioned her specifically.
Kuang Qianli: “Yes.”
"This girl surnamed Wang is in her twenties. Is she a doctor?"
Kuang Qianli: "Yes, what's wrong?"
The soldier said, "Our lord has something for Miss Qiao. It's at the door of my room. You can take it in later."
Qiao Xuejun was surprised. Are you talking about Zhao Xian? Do you have something to teach her?
Kuang Qianli asked helpfully: "What is it?"
The soldier said, "It's a counterweight, specially for practicing gun control. Our captain should have told the girl about it. You just need to bring it in and hand it to her. We have completed the registration here and are leaving."
"By the way, all the information about the four of you has been registered here. If you need to trade, you can go to the market in Hongmei Mountain to trade. If someone steals your things, or if you find someone doing something illegal, you can report it to the police and we will handle it."
Kuang Qianli: "Okay. Oh, by the way, I have another question."
"You ask."
"Are you in charge of the Peak Mountain over there? That's the 7th Base."
"Is that even a question? Of course we have to manage it. Everything you can see is under the control of the First Base. As for the Seventh Base, it is just a slightly larger private shelter and has never been an officially recognized survival base."
Kuang Qianli: "That's great. If the people from the 7th Base come to harass us and want to steal our things, we can report it to the police, right?"
"Sure! We'll take care of it!"
Kuang Qianli: "Do you want to pay protection money?"
The people outside laughed twice: "You kid, we are here to solve problems, not to create them. We don't charge protection fees!"
Kuang Qianli chatted with the people outside for a few more sentences before ending. After a while, Kuang Qianli came in, and there was indeed something extra in his hand.
A short, cylindrical lump of iron.
He walked over and handed the item to Qiao Xuejun: "It's given to you. What is this?"
Qiao Xuejun took the things.
It is made of iron and is heavy. It looks like a hollow semi-cylindrical object with buckles on both sides.
Qiao Xuejun took out a pistol from his pocket, which should be able to be installed on the barrel.
"What the hell?"
Kuang Qianli was stunned: "What is this thing? Where did you get it from?"
The young carpenter was also surprised: "Is this a pistol?"
The last time she came back, Qiao Xuejun didn't tell Kuang Qianli and the carpenter about the pistol, and neither did Wang Juanfeng.
Then Qiao Xuejun suddenly took it out, which scared both of them.
They all looked at Qiao Xuejun and the things in her hands in surprise.
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "The First Base gave it to me."
Kuang Qianli: "Is this activity still available? I want it too."
"No more." Qiao Xuejun observed the structure of the counterweight and quickly installed it on the gun barrel.
The gun was originally quite heavy, and it became even heavier with the counterweight, and the weight in the hand made it feel very solid.
You can practice controlling the gun by mastering the grip feeling, and then you won't be shaken by the recoil and the muzzle will move around.
It was a good thing, but why did Zhao Xian specially give it to her? They had only met a few times. Qiao Xuejun thought it was good enough that Zhao Xian didn't take the pistol back, but she didn't expect that he would send all the accessories of the gun to her.
As if afraid that she wouldn't be able to learn how to shoot.
Thinking about it this way, I should have gone out and said thank you to them.
But Kuang Qianli also said it for her.
·
The rain stopped for a while and then started raining again.
It started to rain lightly, then it got heavier.
Things gradually started to go wrong, and that night, Qiao Xuejun was awakened by a strange howling sound.
She suddenly opened her eyes in bed and reached out to touch the thermos beside her. The water in the bottle was warm and slightly hot. It should be midnight and there was still a long time before dawn.
“Woo——”
The sound was long, dull, and very high in decibels, yet somewhat ethereal. It did not sound like a human being, a mad cow, or some kind of wild animal.
It was endless, as if calling out to something. It seemed very far away, but without a direction, as if it was directly overhead.
"System, did you hear that? What's that sound?"
System: "I don't know, host. These are too detailed. I don't have the corresponding authority to unlock the detailed plot."
“……” I knew it.
Qiao Xuejun held the thermos tightly, as if she had grasped all the sense of security.
She closed her eyes and continued to sleep, but she could hear the sound intermittently, long and continuous. Qiao Xuejun fell asleep again amid the sound.
