Chapter 43 The Landlord Has No Surplus Food
There is no wall that is impenetrable, and the food on the 20th floor is really delicious.
The weather was hot and there was no electricity at night, so everyone kept the windows open.
Although only a trace of smell leaked out, everyone hadn't had a full meal for more than two months, let alone such a strong hot pot smell.
At this time, everyone's nose is sharper than a dog's.
They smelled the aroma of the hot pot and were drooling with greed.
Anger welled up in my heart. These beasts on the 20th floor couldn’t even get enough food, yet they were eating hotpot.
But everyone was reluctant to close the windows.
They can't eat hot pot, but it's nice to smell the flavor.
I felt envious and jealous, but when I thought of the ferocious looks of the guys on the 20th floor, no one dared to attack them.
During this period, despite the move in of the neighborhood committee, incidents of home robberies did not cease.
The evil in human nature is like a wild beast that has been released, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
From just robbing food without killing people at the beginning, to now home robbery has turned into a bloody killing.
Countless victims were killed, and the survivors who managed to survive cried out in agony.
Those who were lucky enough to escape being robbed closed their doors and windows, hid their remaining food supplies, and prayed in fear that their homes would not be robbed.
During this period, Shi Jiaojiao and the others did not go out. They were not short of food for the time being, and the top priority now was to improve their own martial arts skills.
Especially Wang Jia.
However, under Tang Wei's devilish training during this period, Wang Jia has also grown a lot.
Although it’s not as good as a few people killing people like killing chickens, but at least I won’t wait foolishly for others to rescue me like last time.
At midnight that day, Shi Jiaojiao and a few others went to collect relief food as usual.
When we arrived at the supermarket, we found that all the staff distributing supplies had been taken over by the army.
And the original instant noodles are gone.
Instead, three kilograms of rice, two compressed biscuits, and a 5-liter bucket of water were distributed every week.
Shi Jiaojiao picked up the rice and looked at it carefully. It was not just rice, but a mixture of various coarse grains.
She understood that the government was not rich either.
At this time, the landlords have no surplus food.
However, not all people are reasonable.
Some unreasonable people threw the relief food to the ground as soon as they received it, and the rice scraps were scattered all over the ground in an instant.
I used to dislike instant noodles, but at least they contain oil, salt, and dehydrated vegetables.
Now there is only rice and compressed biscuits. How can they eat?
What's more, this amount is not enough for even a girl, let alone a grown man.
"Why is there only this little bit? Did you eat our relief food?" the man who threw the food asked relentlessly.
He still thought that the current army was still the same army that only served the people and would never take action against the masses.
Some people who received relief food also stood there and joined in the commotion: "Yeah, the instant noodles we had before were bad enough, and they didn't even give us some meat and sausages or something."
"We are all taxpayers, so you treat us like this? How can you support you without our taxes?"
The soldier being questioned looked at them coldly.
Food is so precious nowadays. How many brothers are hungry and searching for supplies in the high temperature.
They didn't expect that the food they collected with all their efforts would be wasted like this.
My heart bleeds just thinking about it.
At this moment, he saw his superior making a gesture to him.
He couldn't bear it any longer and directly arrested the man who wasted the food.
When this happened, the people around were stunned for a moment, then they lowered their heads and covered their faces and ran away, fearing that they would be implicated.
The arrested man was full of indignation, "Why did you arrest me? What did I do wrong? You have so much food, what's wrong with giving us more? You only have a few melons and dates, you are just giving them to beggars."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the soldiers pointed their guns at him.
Seeing this, the man sneered: "Come on, shoot, I don't believe you dare to kill me."
Of course, the final result was that no shots were fired.
Every bullet is precious now, and it would be a waste to use it on him.
At the commander's signal, the man was finally dragged away.
The commander narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction he left.
Going to jail is impossible, but there are too many places that need jobs right now.
I heard that the government is going to set up some kind of refuge base.
During this period, all captured criminals were sent there.
This kind of troublemaker will become soft after two days of hard labor.
In fact, this relief point is relatively good, as no one was killed.
At another relief point, some people were dissatisfied with the relief food distributed and directly looted the food.
All those who participated in the food robbery were shot dead.
In times of chaos, severe punishments must be used, and the loophole of looting food cannot be allowed.
Shi Jiaojiao and her three companions watched the whole show before leaving.
After returning home, Wang Jia couldn't calm down.
Even the government is short of food, so you can imagine how serious the situation has become.
Compared to others, I am still too weak.
So in the next few days, Tang Wei found that Wang Jia practiced even more frantically than before.
During this period, Jiaojiao stayed at home peacefully.
Everyone has been starving for more than two months, and the shortage of relief food has added fuel to the fire.
Everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse, and a small trigger can lead to a fight.
Shi Jiaojiao also noticed that the gazes of the other owners were falling on the four of them, and they were becoming more and more unscrupulous.
It seems that when I go out in the future, I have to leave someone at home to guard the house.
Otherwise, if their house was robbed, they wouldn’t even be able to cry in unison.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia also realized the urgency of the situation and came up to the two to discuss countermeasures.
Shi Jiaojiao pretended to go into the room and pulled out an electric fence.
This was prepared by her in advance and originally intended to be installed on the door of the corridor on the 20th floor.
But now that they have formed an alliance with the 19th floor, it doesn’t make any difference if they just install it on the door of the 19th floor.
Seeing the power grid, Tang Wei's eyes lit up with surprise, "You have this good stuff!"
"That's great now. Whoever dares to break in next time will have to taste the power of the power grid first!" Wang Jia also applauded.
Installing the power grid is not difficult, Tang Wei can do it alone.
And there was a generator on the 19th floor, which was installed quickly.
Now just waiting for a lucky winner.
With the power grid, people can go out with peace of mind.
The first one to stay behind was Tang Wei.
The main reason is that the bad luck buff on him is too scary. If he is implicated, he will get nothing.
Moreover, Tang Wei has high fighting power, so if someone really comes up to him, he can handle it.
After the discussion, Shi Jiaojiao and her friends left the next day.
The main goal was still food and water, but the last time she took the speedboat, she was reminded of this.
In the previous few times, they mostly searched office buildings, but today, they can change their target.
She happened to know of a club for outdoor enthusiasts.
The food inside is neither edible nor drinkable, and it’s obviously impossible to sell it in such hot weather.
They still have a good chance of finding supplies.
It won't be long before heavy rain comes.
The things that Mu Ci and I had prepared were quite complete, but two speedboats were obviously not enough for the two people on the 19th floor.
