Chapter 253 Return to Yuefu Jiangnan
Seeing that the coarse cakes are quite popular, the base has also stepped up its efforts to purchase various reptiles.
It is equivalent to giving more than 20,000 refugees a chance to make a living.
Two kilograms of reptiles can be exchanged for one piece of coarse cake. Although it is not much, it is still an income.
So outside the Pengcheng base, many people have been lighting fires with wooden sticks at night recently and looking for insects everywhere.
In fact, there is no need to look for it everywhere, after all, you can find a handful of it everywhere.
Among them, cockroaches are still the largest in number, followed by rats.
But most of the refugees did not sell the rats they caught to the base, but kept them and cooked them for themselves.
After all, the mouse still has some meat on its body.
But after knowing this, the people at the base warned them not to eat rats casually.
Because after the apocalypse, many rats carry deadly germs, and no one knows whether they have crawled on corpses.
Eating rats is likely to cause you to contract the plague.
Under the current conditions, once infected, there is almost no chance of death.
The authorities resettled the more than 20,000 refugees in the former Fenglin community and sent 500 soldiers to guard them day and night.
But the base is also short of manpower.
So after the refugees in Fenglin Community settled down a little, the base transferred back another 100 soldiers.
400 soldiers took turns guarding, but something happened right under their noses.
Two skeletons that had been completely eaten were found in Fenglin Community.
After being quiet for a few days, the ogres came out to commit crimes again.
However, this matter was not reported to the base and only circulated in Fenglin Community.
The base has not been peaceful recently. Since three days ago, thefts have occurred in various areas.
Area B had the most cases, with hundreds of houses being broken into in one night. The criminals broke into houses after the people were out at work.
Every time they pried, they succeeded, which showed that this group of thieves had been observing for a long time.
They know which household is not home at night and which household has someone at home.
There were also thefts in the villa area, but the cases were relatively rare, with only seven households having their houses broken into.
They all climbed over the wall to get in.
The walls of these seven families' homes are still the ones originally built on the base. After they moved in, the walls were not raised again, so it was easy for them to climb in.
After Han Ying and her friends returned home after delivering the food, they also found signs that the door lock had been pried open, but the other party was unable to pry it open.
Forget about climbing over the wall.
After finding the signs of the door being pried open, Lu Yuan picked up the intercom and said, "Brother Lei, there are signs that the door on our side has been pried open. Is everything okay on your side?"
Although the wall of Lei Minghu and his family is not low, their door is not as good as Han Ying's.
But Han Ying gave them a lock.
If this lock doesn't have a key, sawing the door would be faster than sawing the lock.
But the first thing that most thieves think of is definitely to destroy the lock.
"Lin Ting didn't go out today. She said she heard some noise outside the wall, so she came out to take a look. Maybe those people knew there were people inside, so they left."
It’s actually not bad to have neighbors, at least there is someone to look after the house when their whole family is out at work or school.
But it is impossible for Lin Ting and the others to stay at home every day, so they can only think of other ways to deal with the door.
"The door we installed in the corridor of the house in Yuefu Jiangnan is of very good quality. How about we go back and take one off and replace it for you?"
They hadn't been back to Yuefu Jiangnan for a long time, and they didn't know whether the houses there had been damaged.
He and Han Ying's family are not worried, but the same cannot be said for Lei Minghu's family.
Although they installed doors on the stairs and corridors, the two walls where the doors were installed had not been specially treated. If someone broke down the walls, they could still break into the 27th floor.
However, even if he broke into the 27th floor, he couldn't get into his and Han Ying's house. At most, he could only cause trouble for Lei Minghu's family.
"Aren't you going back to live there?"
Although Lei Minghu knew how hard it was to find a good quality door nowadays, his family really needed it, so he couldn't refuse it.
"I'm not going back for now. The villa is pretty good."
There are more and more cacti being planted now, so I’d better not think about moving them around for now.
"Then I'll take a day off tomorrow night and go back with you to dismantle it."
The door was not securely locked, and he felt uneasy at work.
After turning off the intercom, Lu Yuan heard Han Ying talking on the phone on the balcony.
He guessed that it was either Professor Li or Gu Yuanping, after all, there were only a few people who knew their phone numbers.
However, Lu Yuan guessed wrong. The person who called was Liu Hefeng.
The recent theft at the base has made everyone panic. The two villas of Han Ying and Lu Yuan are of great importance to the base and cannot be lost.
So Liu Hefeng called to ask about the situation, and by the way, he said that he would have more patrol personnel patrolling their area starting tomorrow night.
Han Ying did not refuse. Although they did not need it, Lei Minghu, Qin Qinghai and Lin Ting behind them did need it.
The next night, there was no need to transport any more food because all 60 tons had been delivered to the designated underground warehouse.
It was still the same truck that was being driven, with Lei Minghu sitting on the cargo bed.
I haven't walked this road for some time and the surface is very uneven.
Lei Minghu, who was sitting behind, was so shaken that he jumped up and down. If it weren't for his good sense of balance, he would have vomited.
The car drove all the way to Yuefu Jiangnan, and this time it took longer to come back than ever before.
Lu Yuan didn't want to drive the car into the parking lot. He wanted to drive the car directly into the community and park it in front of Building 9.
But when he wanted to enter the community, his car was stopped by several wooden roadblocks.
Moreover, more than a dozen people quickly jumped out from the side and surrounded their car.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our neighborhood? Get down here right now!"
A middle-aged man wearing a gray Donald Duck-patterned shirt knocked on the driver's window and shouted to Lu Yuan inside.
After hearing what the people outside said, Lu Yuan and Han Ying looked at each other.
What's going on?
How long have they been gone?
Has Yuefu Jiangnan become someone's territory?
The two men put on their backpacks, opened the car door and jumped out.
Han Ying held a crossbow in his hand and a pistol on his back.
Lu Yuan was holding a Tang sword and had a pistol on his back.
Lei Minghu also jumped down from the cargo box with the crossbow that Han Ying had given him.
Seeing someone coming down the car, the dozen or so people surrounding him wanted to rush forward to surround the person and seize their car.
But when they saw the weapons in the hands of the three men, they all showed strange expressions.
What's going on?
Are these crossbows and Tang swords?
Are these controlled weapons now everywhere?
You have to know that their boss only has a modified nail gun.
These three random people came up with Tang swords and crossbows?
Everyone has one?
