Chapter 190 It’s ok, just make friends
"Mr. Meng, remember to close the door tightly when you go out recently."
"If you need our help with security, just ask."
That day, Meng Ci and Shen Que went out to change the water, and they met Yun Jingcen and Fang Shurui who were also there to change the water.
After the four of them left the item exchange point, Yun Jingcen told them what had happened recently.
It turned out that starting from the fifth day of the polar night, things began to be lost one after another in the residential buildings in the base.
However, because everyone exchanged items for points, there was very little food and other things left at home, so the amount of theft was very small.
But some time ago, two families living in the villa area were robbed and a large amount of food and gold were taken away.
Before the end of the world, these two families were not only wealthy, but their family members were also high-ranking government officials.
After the end of the world, they also contributed a lot, so the pressure was put on Lu Chen and others.
During this period, Lu Chen re-established the security team and recruited a group of members to patrol non-stop throughout the day.
Yun Jingcen and his team rejoined the security team because they had experience in patrolling during extreme cold weather.
But because the night is too dark, there are always places that cannot be observed.
Therefore, theft and murder in secret continue despite repeated prohibitions.
"And I heard that most of them are refugees from outside who sneaked in under the cover of night."
"Just yesterday at eight or nine o'clock, several people were killed."
Refugees are those who live outside the base.
After the base was built, some military and civilians who could not afford to live in the base applied for cards at the points redemption points.
I just live outside on weekdays and come into the base to exchange things when I need them.
Some of these people get together and do all kinds of evil.
Before the polar night, the authorities sent people to collect part of it.
But because there were too many people, they couldn't collect all of it.
However, these people were somewhat restrained before the polar night.
During the polar night, they become even more unscrupulous.
They caught those who had points cards and forced them to go to the item redemption points to exchange their points, and then gave the items to them.
If anyone disobeys, they will be killed immediately.
If you listen to them and hand the things over to them, you will end up being killed.
Because they were so cautious, the authorities only caught a very small number of bad guys.
And more people are still looting unscrupulously.
Meng Ci and Shen Que had actually been prepared for this, so they were not surprised.
After also reminding Yun Jingcen and the others to be careful while on patrol, the two of them drove back home.
"Bang!"
Because there are few people in the villa area, there are not many people along the way.
But unexpectedly, when I was about to go home, I heard the sound of a flat tire.
Fortunately, Shen Que was not driving fast, so he quickly stabilized the car.
However, the two of them had walked this road many times and had never encountered such a situation.
Thinking about what Yun Jingcen and the others said, Meng Ci and Shen Que looked at each other and thought that they were being targeted by that group of refugees.
Shen Que turned off the car, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
"Xiao Ci, shall we go down and take a look?" Shen Que asked, holding Meng Ci's hand.
"Yeah." Meng Ci nodded. They were being targeted today, and they thought that there would be a fierce battle no matter what.
If you solve it sooner, you can go back and eat earlier.
Instead of waiting for the refugees to rush over, they should take the initiative.
"Wait."
Hearing the click sound of Chen Que's car door opening, Meng Ci suddenly remembered something and stopped Chen Que.
"What's wrong?" Although Shen Que was puzzled, he quickly locked the car door to prevent a sneak attack.
Meng Ci relied on the darkness of night so that he would not be seen by the refugees, so he took out two night vision goggles from the space and stuffed one of them into Shen Que.
"Put it on."
When Shen Que touched the thing, he already remembered that this was the night vision goggles that Meng Ci had given them when they attacked the White Tiger Hall during the rainstorm.
After putting on his glasses, Shen Que looked around again and found that there were three men standing next to him wearing only trousers.
They stood in crooked positions, with determined expressions on their faces.
There were several large rocks placed on that area, so Shen Que didn't notice it because the off-road vehicle was turning on the low beam just now.
But there was no one on Meng Ci's side.
"Let's go."
Seeing that Chen Que had put it on, Meng Ci spoke.
"Shen Que, how do you drive!"
"The wheel exploded for no apparent reason."
In order to prevent the group from noticing something was wrong, Meng Ci pretended to complain about Chen Que.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and Shen Que naturally knew what Meng Ci meant.
He just said, "There must be some nails or broken glass on the road. I'll go check it out."
"How can you see! We didn't even bring a flashlight when we came out." Meng Ci continued to complain.
Although the two people were arguing, they did not forget to observe the enemy's situation.
I saw three people standing on the left. When they heard that they didn’t have flashlights, one of them excitedly took two steps forward, but was quickly stopped by a man next to him.
"Don't worry." Shen Que spoke to comfort him.
Seeing the three men making a move, Meng Ci quickly pulled out two knives from the space and handed one to Shen Que.
And Shen Que touched Meng Ci, motioning him to look at the rear of the car.
When Meng Ci looked over, he saw two men, one tall and one short, walking towards him. They were holding not only a flashlight but also something that looked like a tire.
"What's wrong?" the tall man asked loudly, and shone the flashlight on Meng Ci and the other two.
Meng Ci replied: "It's okay, the tire just burst."
Meng Ci was glad that the night vision goggles he and Shen Que wore were just like ordinary glasses, so he was not worried about being discovered if anything was wrong.
The two men had already walked over, and the tall man pretended to be surprised and said, "What a coincidence."
"We two picked up a wheel outside and were planning to go to the points exchange point to exchange it for points tomorrow."
"Since you need it, I'll give it to you."
Meng Ci quickly refused, "Thank you for your kindness, brother."
"But forget it. Points are so valuable now, you should just exchange them for points."
"As for our car, let's leave it here for now and go to the item exchange point later to see if it can be repaired."
The tall man put the wheel in his hand on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Aren't they all the same?"
"If you feel embarrassed, just give me something."
“Why should we let the government earn the difference?”
When Meng Ci heard this, he snorted in his heart. So he was waiting for them here!
I'm exchanging wheels for things just to see what they are capable of.
A hesitation flashed across Meng Ci's face, "But this wheel may not be suitable."
"Besides, we left in a hurry and didn't take anything with us, so we couldn't pay."
The tall man said, "It's okay. You can compare them first. If they fit, I'll change them for you. If they don't fit, forget it."
"As for the stuff, we two brothers happen to have nothing to do, so we can go with you."
"That's right, that's right." The short man smiled naively.
"We are so destined to be together, let's just be friends."
