Chapter 302 Water is the Most Scarce
Ignoring the body lying on the ground, Han Ying and Lu Yuan calmly climbed down the ladder.
Connect the intercom and report the situation here. Someone will come over to clean up the bodies soon.
For Han Ying and her colleagues, the bodies of infected people would be found every few days, and the authorities were no longer surprised.
In fact, it’s not just here. There are many places in the base where infected people who fight guerrilla warfare with patrol personnel appear.
Calculate the time when the patrolmen will come to check and then hide.
Wait until the patrol leaves before coming out to ask for supplies.
Most people had no choice but to have some supplies extorted from them. After all, these infected people who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
If you don't give it to them, they will really throw shit at you.
Those excrement are full of bacteria and viruses, and the chance of contracting the plague if you come into contact with them is very high, so many people choose to hand over their supplies.
Having tasted the sweetness, the infected people have become even more unscrupulous in extorting money from others.
The same day they killed the 4 infected.
A group of infected people also appeared in front of villas 1207 and 1208, with a total of 6 people, including three women.
In the end, four of the six people died and two escaped.
Of the four who died, two were shot to death by Lei Minghu with a crossbow.
One was beaten to death by Qin Qinghai after he had to hit him with more than ten nails.
Because there were only two ladders, Qin Qinghai was standing inside the door and shooting outside. He only killed one after a crazy attack.
Another one was killed by Lin Ting with a brick.
Lin Ting is best at close combat, but those people are infected with the plague and are obviously not suitable for close combat.
After two of them escaped, the three families became a little worried, fearing that the two would come back for revenge.
Now they are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. If you throw excrement directly into them without making any noise, they will be the ones who suffer.
Lei Minghu was a little annoyed that he only made two ladders. If he had made a few more, perhaps the situation would have been better.
But no matter what, their abilities are still insufficient.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan can both kill 5 people, and with so many people, they can still let 2 of the opponents escape.
In order to prevent such things from happening again, Lei Minghu hurriedly made two more ladders.
Qin Qinghai continued to practice with the nail gun at home.
His accuracy was okay when he was shooting at static targets, but when he encountered moving targets, his accuracy dropped.
Lei Minghu gave him instructions several times and there was some effect.
But this kind of accuracy cannot be acquired overnight, but requires long-term practice.
Wu Tingfang and the others helped Lin Ting to knock out more bricks.
If you use a whole brick to hit someone, it is quite heavy, your accuracy will be reduced, and it will be too wasteful.
Trapped at home, even bricks are a scarce resource.
Each brick is basically knocked into three pieces, which ensures the hand feel and can cause considerable damage when it hits someone.
He Xiu, Wu Tingfang and their two children also joined in the brick-throwing exercise.
Although it may not come in handy, what if it is needed?
After learning about what happened on Lei Minghu's side, Han Ying warned them to be careful because revenge was very likely.
And suggested that they lay a piece of plastic film at the door.
In case those two people really dump excrement in there quietly, it would be easier to deal with if we wrap it in plastic wrap.
The patrol officers came to the door as usual every day, and the one who came this day was the same Xiao He from yesterday.
In addition to the daily Q&A, Xiao He also brought a message to Han Ying and the others today.
"Do you know someone named Lin Xiaoli?"
After Xiao He finished recording Han Ying and the others’ situation today, he put away the notebook in his hand and asked.
"Lin Xiaoli? There is such a person, what's wrong?"
Han Ying was unable to react for a moment when she heard Lin Xiaoli's name suddenly.
But I soon remembered it.
When they were building the wall before, they also invited Lin Xiaoli to help, working 1.5 hours a day and giving her 5 points.
It seems that she also escaped the earthquake.
This woman lives a strong life even though she is alone.
"She asked the inspectors to tell you that she wants to exchange 10 canned fish she found in the ruins for some water. Is that okay?"
Most of the soldiers at the base knew about Han Ying, Lu Yuan and their dog.
So when Lin Xiaoli said she wanted to exchange supplies with them, the inspectors took it to heart and helped pass on her message.
To show her sincerity, Lin Xiaoli had already handed over the 10 cans of fish to the inspectors in advance.
"Did she say how much she wanted?"
Han Ying asked.
"She said if it's possible, she'd change to 3 liters, but if not, 2 liters would be fine."
Canned fish has a long shelf life and can actually be exchanged for a lot of things.
But water is the most scarce resource now.
People can live without canned fish, but cannot live without water.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Han Ying thought about it and decided to give it to her.
He turned around and went in, then came out carrying a black non-woven bag.
There were 5 bottles of 560ml mineral water in it, and then he opened the door of the wall and placed them on the ground.
Xiao He took the bag away and put down another bag containing canned fish.
"Um, Comrade Han, Comrade Lu, I want to ask if you still have any cacti at home? Can I exchange two with you?"
Xiao He originally didn't intend to speak, but when he saw that Han Ying and the others were still able to trade with others.
Thought they might be able to save some of the cacti.
He had not been exposed to the sun for a long time and was already seriously deficient in calcium. Now he was no longer taking vitamins, so his family's situation was not optimistic.
If I could get some cactus, maybe I could make up for it a little.
"We have limited water, so we only have two trees left for our own consumption. If you want them, I can only give you two leaves at most."
Lu Yuan glanced at the bag of canned fish on the ground before answering Xiao He's question.
"Thank you, thank you. Two pieces will be enough. Can I exchange two boxes of cookies with you? Bring them over tomorrow night."
After the earthquake, even though the soldiers put on their military uniforms, they had to hand in all the supplies they found.
But after get off work, he took off his military uniform and took his family to search through several ruins where bodies had been dug out, and they were able to find quite a few things.
The base did not stop their behavior. After all, everyone knows that soldiers also have families to support.
"Okay, but don't tell anyone else, because we don't have any more at home."
"If someone gets wind of this and comes to us to exchange it, and we can't afford it, they will accuse us of favoritism."
Now almost all the crops on the farm have died, and Han Ying also knows about this.
In other words, in the entire base, she and Lu Yuan are the only ones who can produce fresh vegetables.
Everyone's family is short of vitamins, but there are also many people who are not short of supplies. If these people knew that she had cacti at home, I'm afraid they would all scramble to exchange them.
