Chapter 305 Burning the Infected
The nail gun was for He Xiu and Wu Tingfang to practice.
Although the skills you practice may not necessarily be useful, it’s good to have some self-protection ability.
The submachine gun and pistol were familiar to Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai.
Although Lei Minghu was a special forces soldier, he has been retired for many years.
However, neither gun was equipped with live ammunition. Han Ying only gave them 1,000 rounds of blank ammunition each.
This is to let them get familiar with the feel first.
Avoid times when patrol officers come to your door.
When practicing, install a muffler and practice inside the villa so that no one outside can hear it.
Although the space in the villa is limited, the conditions are such that this is the only way to do it for now.
What man doesn't love guns?
Especially Lei Minghu, when he was on a mission in the past, he often kept his gun with him 24 hours a day.
But it’s been a long time since I last touched a gun since I retired from the army.
Now he saw the familiar gun again, and the way he held it in his arms and couldn't let it go was simply unbearable to watch.
Qin Qinghai was also playing with the pistol. He had never seen a real gun in his life, and he didn't expect to have this opportunity again in his lifetime.
Lei Minghu taught Qin Qinghai how to disassemble and assemble a firearm. If he wanted to get started with a firearm in a short period of time, he naturally had to understand its internal structure first.
Wait until you have mastered the skill before firing blanks. This way you will get the hang of it faster.
Qin Qinghai also asked Lin Ting. When Lin Ting heard that she could leave Pengcheng, she immediately nodded to express her willingness.
Is it dangerous to go all the way there?
Of course it's dangerous.
But Lin Ting was not afraid at all.
She once walked here from the neighboring province alone. One can imagine how many dangers a single girl would encounter on the road.
But she still walked safely to Pengcheng and found Lin Yang.
She had no feelings for Pengcheng, and she stayed in the base because she wanted to settle down with Lin Yang.
But Pengcheng is no longer safe now. If there is a better place, of course she has to leave.
Upon learning that Qin Qinghai and his family were going to pay for the fuel for the car, Lin Ting said that she also had diesel and she could contribute part of it.
She had even more food. In addition to what she had been allocated before, she had two rooms full of supplies in her basement.
The three companies discussed it together and each wrote down three items of supplies that they thought were most necessary to take away.
Finally, there were two things that were on the papers of all three families.
That's water and compressed biscuits.
After they moved to Jiangcheng, they didn’t know how long it would take for them to move over to the base.
So they had to bring as much water as possible.
But the space in an RV is limited after all, so you can only bring things that have a long shelf life and can keep you alive but take up little space.
Therefore, the three families finally decided that Lin Ting and Qin Qinghai would each take two boxes of compressed biscuits, and Lei Minghu's family would take three boxes.
As for water, they plan to ask how big the RV's water tank is. Then they will discard the outer packaging of the mineral water and pour the water into the tank to fill it up.
After learning about the decision of the three families, Han Ying and Lu Yuan said that there was no need to do so.
Han Ying said that they had negotiated with the base, and the base agreed to sell them 2 tons of water.
Hearing this number, Qin Qinghai and the others were dumbfounded.
How big is the water tank in an RV?
Although I refused their practice of opening the bottle of mineral water and pouring it into the water tank.
However, Han Ying did not refuse the three families and said that they would be responsible for the fuel of the RV and the food for her and Lu Yuan.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan are not the kind of people who would eat other people's food for free. At that time, they plan to take out some sweet potatoes, small potatoes and cactus.
He said he was leaving and pulled out all the crops in the pots.
The four families were all preparing to leave Pengcheng.
Han Ying also answered the intercom and asked Gu Yuanping to send someone to take the supplies away.
After taking them away, Gu Yuanping also gave Han Ying a list of supplies.
Of all the items on this list, the official share will be 30%.
And that was the very next day when their supplies were transported to the base warehouse.
Those infected with the plague and isolated in a building rioted.
They heard the rumor from somewhere that the base was going to be relocated.
During the relocation, those who were infected with the plague would be abandoned and burned to death.
As the soldiers went up one floor at a time to deliver food to those infected with the plague, almost all the infected people on the entire floor rushed out.
Then they forcibly took three soldiers who were delivering meals on each floor into a room and locked them up.
They want an explanation from the authorities as to whether they will really be burned to death during the relocation.
The official side did not expect that these infected people would do this.
There were no signs of this happening before.
The news of the relocation had leaked out long ago, and Gu Yuanping knew it.
But how can we justify burning these people to death?
They never said such words, but they did hold meetings to discuss how to deal with those infected with the plague.
You definitely can’t take it with you. After all, the purpose of moving out of Pengcheng is to stay away from the plague.
Even those who wanted to move to Jiangcheng together had to be quarantined for a few days to make sure they were not carrying the plague virus before they could leave together.
So the final decision of the meeting was to let those who had been infected with the plague continue to stay in the Pengcheng base.
There will be soldiers and medical staff staying here, and they will leave only when those infected with the plague are completely beyond help.
What is circulating among these infected people now is that the authorities will burn them alive!
To be honest, Gu Yuanping felt a little cold in his heart.
He believed that every decision he made after taking over Pengcheng revolved around how to keep more people alive.
But why can't these people see it?
Has he made any decision to harm the people in the past two years?
Even during the poisonous fog, it was confirmed that anyone infected had no chance of being saved.
There were so many infected people that there was nowhere to place them, and Gu Yuanping never thought of killing them.
What's more, now?
Being infected with the plague is not completely hopeless. Although the chance is very small, there are people who can defeat the plague with their own immune system.
Although it is heartbreaking, the problem still needs to be resolved.
There were more than thirty soldiers abducted by them. Although they were trapped among the infected, the chances of being infected were very high.
But Gu Yuanping didn't want to give up on them.
At this time, he was holding a big loudspeaker and shouting under the building.
"I don't know where you heard this rumor from, but I, Gu Yuanping, am not a coward. I will not deny what I said."
"I reiterate once again, I, Gu Yuanping, and the senior staff of the entire base have never said anything like burning you to death."
"Think about it yourself. Since you were isolated until now, have you ever been hungry at the base?"
"But do you know? The soldiers you abducted didn't eat as much as you did, and they didn't drink as much water as you did."
"But they are responsible for guarding the entire base every day. Are you doing this to them?"
