Chapter 215 You don't want to be ashamed when I give you a chance?
Just as Shi Jiaojiao was about to ask a few more questions, she heard someone knocking at the door from the intercom.
Tang Wei was also stunned when he heard the voice.
Usually, no one comes upstairs, so who is that person outside the door?
He and Wang Jia looked at each other, then stood up with the walkie-talkie in hand.
If anything happens later, the two people upstairs will be able to know it first.
When he came to the corridor, he did not open the door but asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
A slightly hoarse male voice came from outside: "Brother, we are from the Self-Defense Force, and we are here to invite you to join us."
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci on the other side of the intercom also heard it clearly, and she frowned.
To put it nicely, this is an invitation to join, but to put it bluntly, it is recruiting followers.
Food is so scarce now, she doesn't believe that the other party will unconditionally support so many younger brothers.
Tang Wei asked, "Why are you looking for us?"
The hoarse male voice smiled, then said: "Of course I heard that you are good at fighting. Hey, there are too many people coming to the community to rob recently, and we also want everyone to unite and fight against those robbers together."
Tang Wei's eyes flashed. This sounded like a good thing.
But at this moment, are there really people who care so much about others?
He asked, "How do I join? What does the Self-Defense Force need to do?"
The hoarse male voice explained with a smile: "The Self-Defense Force usually protects the safety of the community, so it will be fine if they have good skills."
Tang Wei: "Selflessly devoting yourself to others?"
There may still be many people who maintain a kind heart for a moment, but it will not be me, and certainly not the group of people outside the door.
The hoarse man said: "Of course not, after all, brothers also need to eat."
Shi Jiaojiao on the other end of the intercom curled her lips coldly.
Sure enough, this is just collecting protection fees under a different name.
In fact, if the conditions are not too harsh, it would be beneficial for everyone to have a self-defense force in the community.
I am afraid that these people are doing things similar to robbers under the name of the self-defense force.
"Ordinary survivors hand over one-tenth of their supplies every month. We can also bring people to protect you when you go out to search for supplies, but you have to hand over half of the supplies you find. Brother, you will know the benefits when you join us."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wei's face was full of disgust.
There are fewer and fewer supplies that can be found outside, and half of them have to be handed over. What’s the difference between this and robbery?
And they have to pay tribute every month. This is not a self-defense force at all. They are clearly treating the survivors in the community like sheep.
"What if we don't join?" Tang Wei asked.
Suddenly, a few laughs came from outside the door: "Brother, we are extending an olive branch because we see that you are good at fighting. Besides, wouldn't it be nice to join the Self-Defense Forces and enjoy the good life?"
Tang Wei suppressed his anger. He wanted to refuse directly, but he could tell at a glance that there were quite a few people on the other side and their backgrounds were unknown. If he angered them, he didn't know what kind of trouble would come to him.
The people outside the door seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and laughed without any concealment.
Just when Tang Wei was in trouble, a gentle voice came from the intercom.
"Just reject them."
Shi Jiaojiao looked indifferent.
If they join this crappy Self-Defense Force, what's the difference between that and aiding and abetting the evil?
Although she would not be so saintly as to save all living beings, she also did not want to covet the meager rations of ordinary survivors.
As for the other party coming to cause trouble?
Then come.
The positions occupied by these two floors were advantageous, and they also had some traps that could be used.
They are not eggs that will break if hit by stones.
After hearing what Shi Jiaojiao said, Tang Wei felt relieved for some reason, and then refused: "We will not join the Self-Defense Forces, so you don't have to come again."
After these words were spoken, the people outside the door were silent for a moment, as if they had not expected the other four to flatly refuse.
You know, every spot in the Self-Defense Forces is very popular now.
Those four guys are pretty skilled, but they have more people in their self-defense force.
And to be honest, their boss's skills are not necessarily worse than the other side.
The key is that by joining the Self-Defense Forces, you can get more supplies. Why wouldn’t you want to?
They don’t agree when others want to join!
At this time, they didn't know that the other party had a gun.
Last time, almost all the people who came to cause trouble because of the snow were wiped out, and the only remaining survivor couldn't stand the white fog and died before the antidote was developed.
Someone angrily cursed, "You are so shameless, huh? Have you thought it through? Ordinary survivors have to hand in one-tenth of their supplies every month."
"That's right. You didn't seize the opportunity that was delivered to you for free. Do you really think you are someone important?"
The others wanted to speak, but were stopped by the hoarse man. There was no trace of anger in his voice, and he said calmly: "Are you sure you don't want to join? You don't want to discuss it again?"
These four people are very famous in Tiantai Community. Besides being rich, they are also good at fighting.
The purpose of today's trip is to get them to join the Self-Defense Forces, which can also be regarded as an extra layer of protection for the team.
But he didn't expect that the other party would be so ignorant.
Tang Wei looked impatient: "Not joining, we have already discussed it."
Hearing being rejected again, a trace of annoyance flashed in the hoarse man's eyes.
But he didn't say much, and turned away with a few of his brothers.
"Brother Tian, didn't the boss say that we must let them join today no matter what? Why are we leaving?" a younger brother asked.
Liu Tian spoke with a smile, but his hoarse voice sounded a little gloomy for no reason.
"Young people today have never experienced any setbacks. Once they have tasted the bitterness, they will naturally join the Self-Defense Forces."
Another younger brother was a little unconvinced. Those four people were powerful, but they were not the only ones needed, right?
"That's too much of a compliment to them. Besides, you came here in person today, Brother Tian, but they didn't even open the door. They don't even take you seriously!"
Liu Tian's voice sank: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. The boss is still the one left."
The other brothers nodded.
That's right. The boss is so powerful, so dealing with them is just like dealing with little chickens.
The big brother these people are talking about is named Han Guoxu. He moved to Tiantai Community with a group of younger brothers on the day he received the antidote.
In the past, he led a group of people to commit many robberies. It was not until now that the authorities have cracked down on them that they have restrained themselves a little.
If robbery is not allowed, then the government can’t do anything about collecting protection fees, right?
On the first day he arrived at Tiantai Community, he asked around.
Because he looked honest and had brought his younger brothers to help several times when someone broke into the community to rob, some survivors told him some things.
The most famous among them are the four people on the top floor of Building 2.
Lots of supplies, good skills, and most importantly, some connection with the authorities.
As long as the other party can join their team, it means that they have official protection from then on.
No more hiding.
In his opinion, he is doing good things now.
It's just a small reward.
When he thought about the future, he felt extremely satisfied.
He could herd any sheep in the community as he pleased, and as long as he didn't kill them, he would have a steady supply of supplies. This was much more comfortable than robbery before.
Of course, the reputation is also quite good.
Maybe I can take advantage of this opportunity to get a spot in the base.
He was imagining his wonderful life in the future when there was a knock on the door.
Han Guoxu looked at Liu Tian, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Why, the other party didn't agree?"
