Chapter 299 Asking for Food
"More than yesterday. By the way, recently people infected with the plague often go to other people's homes to beg for food. If they don't give it to them, they will throw their used things or excrement at their doorsteps, so you have to be careful too."
Tong Xiaojie's voice was a little hoarse, and after he finished speaking, he kept swallowing his non-existent saliva.
Watching this scene, Han Ying guessed that Tong Xiaojie's lips under the mask might have cracked and bled.
This is thirsty.
Han Ying turned around and went inside, took out two bottles of mineral water, wrapped them in a piece of foam cotton, and threw them out over the wall.
The water fell to the ground with a thud. “Thank you for your reminder. We will pay attention to it.”
"No, I haven't finished the bottle you gave me yesterday."
There was no way he hadn't finished drinking it, it was just that Tong Xiaojie was reluctant to finish it.
Their military region also provides water, but not much.
Yesterday, this family also gave him two bottles of water. After returning home, he gave one bottle to his comrade.
He would only take a sip of the remaining bottle when he was extremely thirsty.
When Han Ying heard Tong Xiaojie's words, she felt sad.
This life is actually much better than the previous one, but it has finally come to this.
In the middle of the hottest period in the previous life, water resources were already extremely scarce, and chapped lips due to thirst were the norm.
But it has been 20 months since the extremely hot season in this life, and yet we have still reached the point of severe water shortage.
"I don't want you to talk to us with a hoarse voice when you come here for inspection tomorrow."
What Han Ying gave was unopened bottle of mineral water, although the date on it had expired.
However, the mineral water was placed in the space symbol by her, so there was no such thing as expiration.
But even if it is expired, it is an extremely scarce resource nowadays.
"Thanks."
They, the soldiers, are also human beings and they get hungry and thirsty.
The amount of food and water they can take in is no more than that of ordinary people, but they still have work to do every day.
Sometimes they themselves dare not think too deeply about the hardships involved, for fear that they would not be able to hold on if they did.
Especially recently they have been conducting door-to-door inspections every day and taking away infected people.
They are often subjected to people's scolding, saying that they are useless soldiers, that the country is useless, and that they have to live a hard life every day.
They could only endure the abuse, but they were always unhappy in their hearts, so their methods became increasingly tough.
If they encounter someone who is throwing a tantrum or insulting others, they will just beat them up or take them away.
But once someone shows kindness to them, their erected armor will be instantly broken.
After Tong Xiaojie left, the two turned around and went inside.
Although they only stayed outside for a while, they still carefully sprayed disinfectant before going in.
After going upstairs, Lu Yuan took out the intercom and repeated to them what Tong Xiaojie had just reminded them.
This situation is really hard to break.
If someone infected with the plague really came to their door asking for supplies, would they give it to them or not?
If they give it to them, the other party will know that they are afraid and will become more and more demanding.
If they don't give it to them, and the other party throws some excrement at their door, will they clean it up or not?
So the best way is to destroy him before the opponent throws it!
Make it so that the other party can’t throw it even if they want to.
Anyway, they have a wall as a buffer, so it’s not easy to get close to their house.
In order to prevent any accidents, Lu Yuan placed a ladder at the foot of the wall.
If someone comes to your door, just put up a ladder and keep watch from a high place. It is better than being caught by someone through a door.
Han Ying and his team have a ladder, but Lei Minghu and his team don't.
However, they had a lot of firewood at home, so Lei Minghu borrowed an electric saw from Han Ying and others, and borrowed an axe from Lin Ting.
When Lin Ting learned that Lei Minghu wanted to make a ladder, she also contributed a large bag of nails.
With iron nails, the ladder will be more stable.
Lin Ting brought some firewood over and asked Lei Minghu to help make one.
Lei Minghu is very good at hands-on work. Although he has never made a ladder before, he has no problem making a simple version.
Because I had no experience, it took me several days to make two ladders.
With the ladder, if someone really comes to force them, they can just stand on the ladder and attack from a distance.
Qin Qinghai and Lei Minghu had nail guns and crossbows given by Han Ying, and they had a good view when standing on the ladder and looking down.
However, Lin Ting did not have these things, but half of her house collapsed during the earthquake.
Lin Ting used an axe and a hammer to break the fallen bricks into pieces and threw them as weapons.
Not to mention that she practiced several times, her accuracy is really good.
If someone is hit with that force, the head will definitely be broken and bloody.
After being infected, those people still evaded official quarantine and came out to beg for supplies, probably in an attempt to save more money for their families.
But should they threaten others like this just for the sake of their own families?
This is a righteous cause from their own perspective, but not from the perspective of the victim.
The four families were fully prepared and then continued to stay at home.
During this time, Han Ying also used the intercom to ask Liu Hefeng if there was any news about the advance team sent out by the base.
Liu Hefeng said he didn't know and had not received any news.
If you really want to know, you'll have to ask the deputy base commander.
The two planned to wait for another two days, and if there was no news from Liu Hefeng, they would ask Gu Yuanping.
That day, the patrol had just left. Han Ying and her friends were sitting in the second-floor living room watching TV and eating snacks when they heard the sound of someone banging on the door on the other side of the wall downstairs.
"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? Please give us some food and have mercy on us."
The sound of the door being smashed was quite loud, and sounded like being hit by a brick.
The two stood on the balcony, listening to the people outside pleading, but their attitudes were firm, making it clear that there was no room for negotiation.
Han Ying directly connected to Gu Yuanping's intercom and said that there were several bodies of infected people in front of their wall and asked him to send someone to clean it up.
Then the two of them got dressed and went downstairs with the dog.
Woof~~
Tangyuan barked wildly towards the door, scaring the people outside so much that they took a few steps back.
But soon the people outside realized who lived inside.
The only big dog in the base besides the military dog is the one participating in the search and rescue.
To be honest, some of their family members were also rescued by this dog.
But so what?
Now they are patients and can't survive. Should we ask them to thank a dog?
Moreover, if one can still feed such a big dog at this time, the supplies at home must be piled up like a mountain, right?
Suddenly, there was a gleam of light in the eyes of several people, and they asked for more later.
"Please be kind, we don't want more, just give us 50 kilograms of rice and 5 liters of water each."
"Otherwise, we just had diarrhea, and the goods are all in this bag. If you don't give it to us, we will throw it at your doorstep and you won't be able to leave!"
