Chapter 225 The Salted Fish Group
It turns out that the authorities had already started planning to build the base at this time.
The military and police forces in Hui City are weak, and with the Qinglian Gang disappearing, the Wolong Gang has emerged as a dark horse. It is still feasible for them to dominate Hui City.
So when she went to deliver dried vegetables to Haruko, the unusual sales stalls she saw in the market were probably the power of the Wolong Gang.
After all, ordinary families don’t have the financial resources to sell the grain and meat at home!
They just want to slowly infiltrate the market and the shelter, and subtly gather people from these two groups. It's really a good strategy.
Those who come to the market to trade have ambitions in life, and those who live in shelters have been trampled under the feet of society.
Both parties are groups that are easily lured into the trap.
"Brother Wang, from what you said, you are planning to migrate to the provincial capital?" Yu Duoduo asked tentatively.
Brother Wang said slowly: "Don't worry, wait for the news, it's not peaceful outside now.
I'm telling you this because the Wolong Gang succeeded in breaking into the manor last night, the military's affairs have been exposed, and Hui City is going to be in chaos.
If the provincial capital fails to free up its hands to clean up the mess, I suspect the power in Hui City will have to be reshuffled.
So I’m telling you today that we have to stop our meat sauce business for a while and see how things go later.”
"Okay, Brother Wang, I understand what you mean. We should all stay at home recently and be on guard, waiting for the official's decision!"
Yu Duoduo naturally understood what Brother Wang meant.
Now the military has withdrawn and is going to the provincial capital to support the official construction of the base.
But if we fail to return in time to suppress this evil spirit, Hui City will become a gray area without official management and left to run wild.
That would be equivalent to providing enough space for the major gangs to grow rampantly, letting them suck the blood of the remaining people in Guanghui City.
Putting down the intercom, Yu Duoduo looked at Xie Yun, "The road ahead seems to be very different from the previous life."
So they have to think carefully about their next move.
"You mean, there is no possibility for the military to come back?" Xie Yun asked.
Yu Duoduo explained: “The provincial capital base radiates to all cities in the province, so the planning is relatively large.
But it is extremely cold now, which will have a great impact on the construction of the building. Not only will it slow down the construction process, but many commonly used equipment cannot be used, and most of the work has to be done by manpower.
I remember that in my previous life, starting from the extreme heat, the outside world was already in chaos, with gangs’ influence everywhere.
The military probably doesn’t have the time to take care of this, and the situation in other counties and cities is probably not much better than Hui City.”
In this way, the manor was able to be preserved in the previous life thanks to the Qinglian Gang's help from the Lin family, who had a powerful influence in Hui City.
"Just like Brother Wang said, we should not go out for the time being, so as to avoid being ambushed by small gangs outside.
After a while, if there is official news, it won’t be too late to consider the next plan. "Yu Duoduo looked at Xie Yun and said.
Xie Yun nodded.
The two people who were originally busy suddenly had some free time and no longer had to run out all day.
I have returned to the state of lying down before the official opening of the market. Apart from exercising, I just drink tea and stroll around the space all day, and live a happy retirement life.
Of course, eating never stops!
The peach forests in the New World were the first objects they wanted to conquer.
Now, every time they taste peaches from a tree, they make a wooden sign and hang the flavor of the peach on the tree so that it is easy to see at a glance.
Yu Duoduo also replanned the large field outside the earth building, dividing it into dozens of smaller plots, planted with different kinds of crops and vegetables to enrich the diversity of space for storing materials.
Outside the space, in the middle of the dance floor of the bunker, a new batch of crops planted by Le Yan has also grown.
These included sweet potatoes that had been watered with spiritual spring water by Yu Duoduo, as well as green beans, green eggplants, and a dozen branches of kumquats, which were full of bright yellow kumquats.
From the appearance, there is no obvious difference from the ones planted before.
But when it is fried, the taste of this vegetable has a qualitative leap, making people feel unable to stop.
The vegetables grown in the space are not much different from those that Yu Duoduo sells to the rich people in the manor.
So every day, the vegetables cooked by Chef Tong were divided up as soon as they were served on the table, and even the vegetable soup was eaten with rice.
With the help of fresh vegetables, everyone in the bunker felt much better than before.
Ever since Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun stopped going out, the bunker has become a lot livelier than before.
The ebony mahjong set quickly brought together the six members of the Salted Fish Group.
People no longer went their separate ways after dinner to play their own games and do their own things. Instead, they all started playing mahjong in circles.
The popularity of the bunker suddenly increased.
Even Xie Yun and Wei Dong, who didn't know how to play mahjong, became masters who could stand on their own after being constantly taught by others.
Six people took turns, and there was laughter and joy in the bunker all day long. The mahjong was almost packed up.
Just because people don't go down the mountain doesn't mean they are unaware of the situation outside.
Ever since the manor was massacred, there have been many more people coming to the mountain where the bunker is located to cut down trees. They are organized and most likely belong to the Wolong Gang.
Because there were so many people, even with a hand saw, the speed was fast enough.
This group of people was like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind.
The Bald Mountain Operation took only half a month to spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Now, only tree stumps close to the ground are left in large tracts of forest, and it is almost reaching our doorstep.
Everyone in the bunker also began to become alert. If the extreme cold continued and all the trees on the mountain were cut down, how would they keep warm?
When Wei Dong raised this question, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun did not comment.
They knew that the extreme cold would soon be over, and extreme heat would follow. The issue they should worry about was not heating, but whether to leave the Hui City bunker and go to the official base in the provincial capital.
But we can’t talk about the changes in the natural disaster. There is no definite news at the base yet, so there is no point in talking about it.
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun stand in front of the teleportation mirror every day, checking the situation outside in the morning and evening.
Now what Brother Wang said has basically come true outside. Hui City, without police and army garrisoned, has become like hell on earth and has been ravaged by various gangs.
There are people who mark out the territory and collect protection fees, people who come to smash and rob, people who force women into prostitution... It's a foul place. In short, except for the bunker, there is no clean place in Hui City.
Even the strong men like Brother Wang lived in fear and trembling all day long, fearing that the little supplies they had stockpiled would be discovered and stolen.
