Chapter 364 There are gunshots outside
When they returned to Lu Yuan's house, Qin Qinghai and Wu Tingfang were sorting out the tools, and Lei Minghu and Lu Yuan were finishing the remaining cement mortar.
Han Ying, Lin Ting and two other children carried down the supplies and firewood they found today.
Everyone picked out some that they wanted to take back to their temporary residence, and the rest would be temporarily kept in this house.
He Xiu stayed in the RV to cook, and everyone would eat together later and go back after eating.
"How was the harvest?"
Seeing them getting out of the car, Wu Tingfang walked over and asked.
"We didn't find much food, only two barrels of oil and three bottles of chili sauce, and the rest were some daily necessities, but we did chop a lot of firewood."
Lin Ting found the three bottles of chili sauce in that community.
She said that in the community, she met many people who were also out looking for supplies.
If you find daily necessities or something, it’s not a big deal, but if you find food, it’s easy for others to notice it.
Lin Ting originally wanted to go back to her old job, and anyone who dared to steal her money would be robbed.
However, when everyone saw that she was carrying a machete, they all knew what to do and no one dared to approach her.
"There are a lot of people outside now, and it's great to find those. Are we going out tomorrow? We don't have many bricks left."
Wu Tingfang went forward to help move the firewood down while chatting with Han Ying.
Lin Ting and Qin Qinghai had knocked quite a few bricks before, but they had been almost all used up in building the wall in the past two days.
If we want to build a wall tomorrow, we'll have to knock some more out.
"Of course. I'll ask the soldiers about the brick problem and ask them to help us hire a few people to break bricks and collect sand."
Han Ying was carrying a pile of firewood as she passed by the place where the bricks were originally placed. She saw that there were only a few bricks left of the original pile.
After Han Ying and the others unloaded the things from the car, they began to pack up the tools for bricklaying.
The more important ones will be put in the RV and taken back, and the rest will be left in this house.
As usual, drain all the well water, and put the water in the RV's water tank if it can fit in the RV. If it can't fit in, put it in buckets or put it in the water tower inside the house.
No one complains about having too much water, only that it is not enough.
If there is any leftover from eating or drinking, you can use it to wipe your face and body, and if there is any extra, you can wash your hair.
The authorities have already drilled several wells that can produce water, so they notified the people starting yesterday that each person can receive 3 liters of water per day.
3 liters of water, in such a hot day, is only enough for food and drink, don’t think about anything else.
After cleaning up, Lu Yuan and Lei Minghu also finished the construction.
Everyone got on the RV and sat in the booth area to eat.
Today He Xiu made hand-rolled beef noodles, which were topped with a generous layer of beef chunks and stir-fried wood ear shreds.
Each of us ate two large bowls and still felt unsatisfied.
After eating, the RV started and headed towards the military's temporary base.
Bang!
Bang!
Not long after leaving Hongmei Village, several gunshots were suddenly heard.
The sudden gunshot scared everyone in the car.
Everyone began to look for weapons as a conditioned reflex.
Whenever they go out, they carry weapons with them.
So he can quickly find a weapon that suits him.
The volume of the gunshots was quite loud, and several people guessed that it was not far away from them.
"Shall we go over there?"
Lei Minghu came to the front of the car with the machine gun given to him by Han Ying.
"Let's go and have a look."
They always have to go through it, and the most important thing is that the RV is bulletproof.
The gunshots were still ringing intermittently, and everyone's hearts were tied together.
Lu Yuan turned on all the searchlights around the RV, and everyone looked out the window, trying to find the source of the gunshots.
Han Ying also took the submachine gun in her hand, and while guarding outside the window, she also took the time to call Chen Feihu's intercom.
"Platoon Leader Chen, there are gunshots outside, what happened?"
Han Ying asked directly.
"A group of people took advantage of the convoy's return to Pengcheng and wanted to rob the remaining vehicles. Where are you? Don't come over."
Chen Feihu just received a call from his subordinates on the intercom and learned about the situation over there.
At this time, he was leading his men there.
However, the five trucks that were left behind had all been driven out for use, and they didn't know if they could make it in time if they relied on foot.
Han Ying heard Chen Feihu's panting. They seemed to be hurrying on their feet, so she asked again, "The gunshots sounded very close to us. Where are they?"
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Feihu asked loudly.
"We have guns, maybe we can help."
Since those people dared to rob the vehicles at this time, I'm afraid it was not a spur-of-the-moment move.
If something happens to the troops left behind in Jiangcheng, Han Ying and the others won't be able to live in a stable environment.
Since they encountered this situation, they tried their best not to leave the RV and helped in any way they could.
“In the original primary school of Xiaolei Village.”
The teaching building at the primary school did not collapse, so they plan to build a few more buildings nearby.
Therefore, two vehicles were sent there to transport the things, but they did not expect that they would be targeted.
"I know the place."
Xiaolei Village is right next to Hongmei Village. Lu Yuan had been there many times with his friends when he was a child and is quite familiar with the place.
Because the official reconstruction is going on, the roads nearby have been cleared and traffic is smooth.
Lu Yuan turned a few corners and soon arrived near the elementary school.
Following the sound of gunfire, they drove the RV directly into the school.
Two trucks were parked on the playground, and two bodies were lying on the ground next to the trucks. The blood had dyed the ground black and red.
Han Ying and Lei Minghu put on night vision goggles and climbed up to the skylight, each holding a gun.
With a bang, Lei Minghu fired the first shot.
A man hiding behind a pile of bricks was shot in the head by him.
Han Ying was shocked. Wasn't he afraid that the person hiding behind him might be a soldier?
"There's a guy hiding behind that pile of tools at your nine o'clock position."
As he spoke, Lei Minghu fired another shot at the pile of bricks, killing another person.
After hearing what Lei Minghu said, Han Ying looked in that direction.
Sure enough, I saw a person over there leaning half of his body out, trying to shoot towards the RV with the crossbow in his hand.
With a bang, the man's exposed arm was directly pierced by Han Ying, and the crossbow fell to the ground.
At the same time, with a clang, a nail hit the body of the RV directly.
It was just a nail, it didn't even leave a mark on it.
"Xiao Lu, go around those two trucks."
Lei Minghu took the time to step back and shouted to Lu Yuan who was driving.
Those guys have long-range weapons, so their cars can't just stay in one place and serve as targets; they have to move.
The RV is very large and the school playground is small, so it takes a lot of driving skills to drive around the two trucks.
However, Lu Yuan had driven this car many times, so it was not difficult for him.
