Chapter 27 Wang Qiang
The mother and daughter went downstairs and happened to see Wang Qiang (the building manager). Wang Qiang shuddered when he saw Yin Shan and said, "Ms. Yin, the community is going to distribute relief food. I was just about to notify you to come down and register. This can only be collected with an ID card, otherwise I would definitely have collected it for you five people and sent it up!"
Yin Shan smiled and said, "Manager Wang, I have always been a kind person. As long as you can control these residents and don't cause us trouble, I will thank you." Then he took out two packs of compressed biscuits and half a pack of cigarettes from his backpack and gave them to Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up and he said, "What you said is true. Of course I know you are gentle and kind. Last time, it was all the fault of Liu Jinhua and her son. Your friend was absolutely acting in self-defense! So, you go get the relief food first, and I will suppress these people in the building. But you also know that if the Su family and the Wu family come, I really will be helpless."
Yin Shan said, "Don't worry about the Su and Wu families. It's best not to disturb the residents on floors 21 and 22. Also, Building Manager Wang, if anyone from the Su or Wu family comes, please let me know."
Wang Qiang said, "Miss Yin, let's not beat around the bush. I won't talk about the Wu family anymore. I think you know the Su family's background better than I do. Whether I offend you or the Su family, I must die."
Guan Yunhua smiled and said, "Manager Wang, if someone from the Su family comes, I don't want anyone in the building to talk nonsense. Leave the rest to us." As he said that, he gave Yin Shan a look.
Yin Shan took another pack of cigarettes and said, "I'll give you my share of the relief food."
Wang Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Yin, please take all these things back. I don't want any relief food. I only have one request."
Yin Shan raised an eyebrow and said, "You say it, but I may not agree. After all, I just find it troublesome, not afraid of trouble."
Wang Qiang said, "Since the government has distributed relief food, I expect there will be shelters soon. Before the shelters are established, I hope the five of you will keep me safe. I will promptly inform you of any news. I will also suppress the people in the building and prevent them from causing trouble for those above."
Yin Shan asked, "Are you sure you can suppress them? When people have no way out, they'll do anything. Aren't you afraid they'll just kill you?"
Wang Qiang said confidently, "I'm also a gangster. If there really were such a person, I would take action before them. Miss Yin, you have a life on your hands. I believe you and I are in the same boat, so I can suppress him."
Yin Shan nodded, gave Wang Qiang a cigarette and compressed biscuits, and told him: "You can't even eat enough, how can you make me trust you?"
After Yin Shan finished speaking, he said no more and pulled his mother downstairs.
Guan Yunhua asked in confusion, "Why are you trying to win him over? And what if he accepts the bribe and refuses to work for us?"
Yin Shan said, "This man was the third officer in charge of the outer camp of the official base in his previous life. The outer camp is where low-level psychics and ordinary people live. I later lived in the outer camp. When I was kicked out of the base, this Wang Qiang brought me some food and said he admired my character. He arranged for me to hide in a garbage truck. That's how I escaped the first wave of pursuit."
On the 21st floor, I only thought he looked familiar, but he showed no mercy when he attacked me. Later, I remembered who he was. He said he was a gangster, so he must be a thief. If he doesn't do the job, then I'll consider those things my repayment. But if he does the job, that's the best."
Guan Yunhua nodded and said, "Since he is my daughter's savior, I won't bother with the fact that he came to steal our food last time."
Yin Shan said, "People like him are both good and evil. If used well, they're a good knife, but if used poorly, they're just a troublemaker. Anyway, let's just take it one step at a time!"
After thinking for a while, Yin Shan decided to explain in more detail: "The government will set up two bases later, but I don't plan to go. I want us to maintain a cooperative relationship with the government and then live our own lives. In this life, I just want my family to live in peace and security until we die.
The official bases are located in Kyoto and the grassland. The Kyoto base accepts all survivors, with a low entry threshold and relatively chaotic management.
The grassland is a military base with a high entry threshold, but it is managed in a militarized manner and nepotism is not allowed.
Another base is called Xinlong Base, which is located in this city. It only accepts high-level psychics and was established by the Xinlong Gang.
I think we can find a safe area near this city, cooperate with the Xinlong base, exchange some supplies, and live a peaceful life."
Guan Yunhua said: "I think your father would want to go to Xinlong Base. That is his lifelong belief."
Yin Shan sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't trust anyone except you four. But if Dad thinks Xinlong Base is trustworthy, then we can go there. If all else fails, we can just move out."
The mother and daughter rowed to Building A, gave the staff a pack of cigarettes, registered the identities of five people, and received five cards. The staff reminded Yin Shan, "You can only collect relief food with cards and ID. It's tentatively scheduled for two distributions. Don't lose it. You must come in person to collect the food."
Yin Shan nodded and asked about the time for distributing the relief food. Then the mother and daughter returned to the 21st floor.
Back on the 21st floor, the three of them discussed it and decided that since the authorities had started distributing relief food so early, they should try not to go out except when collecting food, so that they could have more time to exercise.
A week later, Yin Zhiwen and his team produced 500 doses of the "herring potion." Yin Zhiwen conducted an experiment and found that after injecting the potion, the body would emit a canned herring odor for 12 hours. No matter how hard you wash, the odor would not go away, as if it was emanating from the inside out. However, no side effects have been observed so far.
Wang Lu said, "It's done. Yue~~~ Let's make 500 first. Ugh~~ When the mutants come, we can make more and sell them to the authorities. Ugh~~~"
Yin Zhiwen also said: "How many canned herrings do you have? Wait until it's extremely cold before making them. People's sense of smell may not be as sensitive by then, ugh~~~"
Yin Shan, stifling a laugh, told the two that they could still make at least 1,000 more. Wang Lu's face was filled with shock, and she said, "What?! There are still so many!? Big sister, I beg you, I'll sell the recipe to the authorities, and can you sell the canned herrings to them too? Please, be a human being!!"
Yin Zhiwen also smiled bitterly and said, "Let's sell it to the government. We can't afford to lose this small workshop!"
When Yin Shan heard his father say he couldn't even afford the injury, he said, "We still need to collect some canned food. Not just canned herrings, but also some edible food. These cans are not afraid of being soaked in water. The conditions for salvaging them are not right now. We'll go when it's extremely cold."
Wang Lu nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, okay, whatever time you say, just don't let me do it. Put these things away quickly, I want to vomit just thinking about it!"
Yin Shan took the herring potion and sent Wang Lu back to the 21st floor, telling them to collect relief food in two days. Then he took Guan Yunhua's bedding and his own son back to the 22nd floor.
After not seeing Hanhan and Qixi for over a week, Yin Zhiwen observed them and said, "They have definitely grown up."
Yin Shan nodded. Hanhan, a Shiba Inu, was already larger than the average Shiba Inu, about the size of an Akita, while Qixi was about the size of a one-and-a-half-year-old Maine Coon. Guan Yunhua said, "Just looking at their size, no one would believe our Qixi was a golden shaded! But I think the two little ones seem to be smarter. At least now when they're playing, Hanhan doesn't always find Qixi like before. Hou Ting's two little ones are also much smarter, but they're not growing as fast as ours."
Yin Zhiwen said, "It seems that animal mutations have existed since the beginning of the natural disaster. It's just that people later lacked food and many domestic pets were eaten, so they think that mutant animals and plants appeared overnight."
Yin Shan explained Wang Qiang's situation. Yin Zhiwen simply nodded and said, "The temperature has dropped in the past few days. The extreme cold may arrive early. Just in case, wear thermal clothing. Also, take out your down jackets, stove, and charcoal, just in case."
Yin Shan said, "Okay, I'll tell Hou Ting and Wang Lu to send some more supplies down."
