Chapter 87: Home Search
"Young Master Lu" Wang Ning spoke more respectfully this time. Actually, he didn't want to come, but when Xu Sa went over, Lin Jun was not there. When he heard Xu Sa say that Jundun also went for those pistols and used an excuse to frame them, he could not sit still.
After all, all the teams under Longteng were dispatched today to kill zombies just to exchange for a few pistols. If they fell into the hands of Jundun, Longteng's influence in the base would only be further reduced.
"Young Master Lu" Zhang Qi also called Wang Ning the same name. Although he had never known Lu Weiyi before, he had heard a lot about Zhuang Mingxu from Zhang Xun in the past few days, and Young Master Lu played a big role in it.
Lu Weiyi nodded, as a greeting, and asked Zhang Qi, "They came to my place early in the morning to look for someone, and they wanted to beat him up. Will your base do anything about it?"
When Gu Qingji came to find Zhang Qi, he hinted vaguely that the people from Jundun wanted to exchange water with them, but they refused because they didn't have much stock and were still waiting for news from the police station. Unexpectedly, they made an excuse that they were hiding here.
Zhang Xun wanted to tear a piece of meat from Lu Weiyi and his group, but he didn't want the water to fall into the hands of Jundun's people. They exchanged supplies with Lu Weiyi for water, and then got it back. Both the water and the supplies were still in their hands, but if Jundun's people replaced the water, then their police station would not be able to get it out of their mouths, so Zhang Xun asked Zhang Qi to come as soon as possible, and even brought a lot of people with him to "uphold justice."
"Xu Xi, since everyone is in the base, the rules of the base still need to be followed. It's inappropriate for you to go to someone else's house to ask for someone without any reason, isn't that?" Zhang Qi said righteously.
"Our people are here," Xu Xi stood up covered in dust, put one hand on his chest, looked at Lu Weiyi hatefully, and said forcefully.
Lu Weiyi directly covered his mental power on his fist. Although he didn't hit much, each hit was real, especially the last one that he controlled to throw out the little green branch, which hit directly on the ribs. Lu Weiyi was sure that his ribs were definitely broken.
"What evidence do you have? You can't slander us without any evidence, right? If you are like this, my family hid the guns today when no one is around, and my family hid the guns tomorrow. Doesn't that mean everything in other people's homes is hidden in yours?" Gu Qingyue confronted him inexplicably and looked at Zhang Qi, "We surrendered our supplies to enter the base. Your base doesn't just collect supplies without protecting people, does it?"
Gu Qingyue's words hinted at what the police station and Long Teng were thinking.
Wang Ning and Zhang Qi would naturally not sit idly by, so they turned around and asked Xu Xi and Cheng Ying what the evidence was.
Although Jundun had his own thoughts, he certainly couldn't say what they did in front of the other two major forces, otherwise it would be handing the handle to the other party. Xu Xi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Cheng Ying. Cheng Ying smiled and looked at Lu Weiyi, "It's not that you hid the person. The main thing is that someone saw that the person disappeared near here. We checked several houses around and found that he was indeed missing. Xu Xi was a little anxious and didn't speak clearly, so you misunderstood. Master Lu, do you think it's inconvenient for us to check? After all..."
Cheng Ying thought that there was no place for eight grown men to hide in such a small villa, and he would be able to find them by looking around. He was just afraid that Lu Weiyi would not agree. However, before he could finish his words, Lu Weiyi said "OK" crisply.
This made Cheng Ying a little stunned. If he had not been present when Zhang Xun gave the order last night, he would have doubted whether he had really made a mistake.
Gu Qingyue, who was standing by, held out a cigarette box and gave a cigarette to Zhang Xun and Wang Ning respectively, and said with a smile, "Since they insist on searching, we won't stop them, lest they throw all the dirty water on us. But I would like you two to be witnesses. If no one is here, don't act recklessly anymore. And in the future, don't say that we took any guns, water or supplies if they are lost. Our temple is small and we really can't bear it."
"certainly"
"certainly"
Wang Ning and Zhang Qi took the cigarettes, followed Xu Xi and Cheng Ying, and were led by Gu Qingyue to check the room.
After seeing all the things in the living room at a glance, Gu Qingyue walked through the rooms from left to right. The first one was where Lin Yimu and Ning Yuan lived. The two of them lived neatly and tidy. There was nothing in the room except a bed with the quilt neatly folded. Xu Xi was careful. He endured the pain in his chest and leaned over to look under the bed. Zhang Qi glanced at him speechlessly. After all, the bed was two meters long and the bottom of the bed could be seen at a glance. It was impossible for someone to be stuck to the floor.
The next place they came to was the kitchen. When Xi Shi saw a group of people coming, he protected Zhuang Aiyi behind him and looked at them vigilantly.
There were two basins on the kitchen counter, one with half a basin of meat filling and the other with vegetarian filling. A row of pancakes had already been made on the chopping board and were covered with gauze. On the other side, there were three electric baking pans plugged into two power sockets, and there was a microwave oven stewing some soup that you could tell was meat. The delicious aroma filled the air, making several people swallow their saliva.
"Your food is really good. We have meat soup early in the morning." Xu Xi was in the cabinet under the counter, and Zhang Qi said to Gu Qingyue with a smile.
"We work so hard just for something to eat. We are grown men and we eat a lot. We also have a child and a sick child. There is nothing we can do. We have to get some meat to replenish our energy." Gu Qingyue leaned against the wall and talked nonsense with Zhang Qi, his eyes fixed on Xu Xi all the time.
After searching through a row of cabinets, Xu Xi still found nothing. With a sullen face, he continued to follow Gu Qingyue to the next room.
Turning around is where Lu Xi and Zhuang Aiyi live. There is still only one bed, but the quilt is folded awkwardly at the end of the bed, which looks unskillfully done. Cheng Ying looked around and asked casually, "Does your child live here?"
Gu Qingyue looked at him with a smile, as if he could see into his heart. Cheng Ying felt a little guilty and avoided his sight. Then he heard Gu Qingyue say lightly, "Yes, live here with a few people with good skills. Children are timid by nature. This is a chaotic world. If you don't protect them well, and they are gone when you wake up, you will be worried to death."
When Cheng Ying heard this, he felt that the person they sent was most likely caught, but he had no idea where he was. The end of the world had just arrived, and there was not much food or drink yet, but he attacked a child. Cheng Ying felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Qingyue's expression.
"It's true. Many children disappeared in the blink of an eye. A few days ago, some people who came to the base said that they met someone on the road who captured and ate them." Zhang Qi said this with disgust. He glanced at the children standing at the kitchen door looking at them curiously, and warned, "They really have no bottom line. You'd better keep an eye on the children. Such beautiful children can easily attract bad people's attention."
"Of course, I'll take good care of it," Gu Qingyue said, glanced at Xu Xi who returned empty-handed, and walked towards the next room.
Next was Zhuang Mingxu's room. Gu Qingyue knew that those people were inside, but he didn't know if they were hidden well. Gu Qingyue was a little flustered, but he still calmed himself down. He walked to the door and knocked. When he heard someone say "Come in", he opened the door, looked around quickly and didn't see anyone, so he opened the door and let the person behind him in.
"The people from Jundun are missing. They said they are with us. We are small in number and weak in force, so we can only let them search." This was almost like saying that they were bullying. Xu Xi glared at Gu Qingyue fiercely, but was glared back by Gu Qingji who had been following him. Cheng Ying pulled Xu Xi and signaled him to look away and stop making trouble.
Zhuang Mingxu was sitting on the bed, wearing a short-sleeved shirt. The head of the bed was neat and tidy, looking just like a high-end ward before the end of the world. He nodded and said, "It's better to search it. With Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang as witnesses, we won't be blamed if anything is lost in the future."
"Yes," Wang Ningying glanced at the drip on Zhuang Mingxu's bedside and asked, "What happened to Mr. Zhuang?"
"My leg is injured, otherwise I wouldn't have turned to Yongping City on my way home," Zhuang Mingxu sighed with a smile, "I don't know what the situation will be. If I can't leave tomorrow, I'll have to trouble General Lin to take care of me in the next few days."
"So serious?" Wang Ning had seen Zhuang Mingxu in a wheelchair before, but he didn't seem to have any injuries. Apart from looking haggard, he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that they had changed their route to the base specifically because of his leg.
"The details are still unclear. Qingyue said that we'll see how the situation is tonight. If he still can't stand up, he might not be able to walk. We'll go to the hospital and get some instruments for a detailed examination," Zhuang Mingxu said, glancing at Gu Qingyue.
Gu Qingyue immediately said, "Without the assistance of instruments, my experience alone cannot make an accurate judgment, and medicines are in short supply nowadays. If it still doesn't work tomorrow morning, we will have to waste time looking for new medicines. By then, we may have to trouble you to help find more experienced doctors at the base to do the examination."
"Definitely."
"No problem"
Zhang Qi and Wang Ning responded with their own thoughts, and went out again with Xu Xi who had found nothing, and walked upstairs.
After going through the second and third floors, Xu Xi was speechless. Not only him, but also Cheng Ying looked unhappy. After being ridiculed by Zhang Qi and Wang Ning, he immediately said goodbye and left the villa. Zhang Qi and Wang Ning hurried back to discuss the new information, and left soon after.
As soon as the outsiders left, the people at home breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Qingyue immediately went to Zhuang Mingxu's room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw eight people piled up under the bed. He was stunned for a moment and then breathed a sigh of relief. "The market should be crowded at this time. Let's go and promote it first, and then try to get others to come and exchange supplies."
Seeing that he did not ask about these eight people, Zhuang Mingxu nodded in his heart, tacitly keeping himself from being overly curious. He nodded and reminded, "Travel together, don't separate. The people from Jundun can't find us and may attack our people. Come back as soon as possible after going out."
