Chapter 111: Home Robbery
But Xu Sichen would not take advantage of the situation and exchange a box of fever-reducing medicine for a box of gold, silver, jade and other precious stones.
She reached into her pocket and actually took out a box of ibuprofen from the space and said, "A gold and jade ring. Want to exchange it?"
Qian Wenbin nodded, quickly handed over the ring, and then said thank you in a hoarse voice.
Although it was a transaction between two parties, this medicine was a life-saving drug for Qian Wenbin.
The elderly and children in the family have fevers one after another, and the usual antipyretic medicines at home have been used up.
They went out to look for medicine, but after three days they didn't even find a medicine box.
He also wanted to try it out and find someone to trade with.
I didn't expect that he would really find it.
A box of ibuprofen, 24 pills, was much more than he expected.
Xu Sichen: "We are doing business, no need to thank me."
Qian Wenbin smiled and did not refute.
After hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively, "Well, can we still continue the transaction in the future?"
Xu Sichen nodded and said, "Sure! Just exchange it for gold, silver, jade and other precious stones."
Qian Wenbin: "Can Fang Tiexiong and the others be counted?"
Xu Sichen continued to nod.
She didn't mean well, she was just coveting the things in the box.
It's not that she trusts Qian Wenbin and the others, and believes that they will not covet her property.
She only trusted herself and the pile of weapons in the space.
Sure enough, not long after Qian Wenbin left, Fang Tiexiong and others came up.
It is also a change of medicine. Some people need treatment for high blood pressure, some need anti-inflammatory drugs, and some need quick-acting heart-saving pills.
As long as their trading items met Xu Sichen's requirements, she would exchange them.
They were also sensible and did not show any curiosity about the fact that she had so many supplies. They just exchanged things and left.
Just with these few boxes of medicine, Xu Sichen's space has increased by more than 100 cubic meters, which is even more efficient than when she went out.
Once, after eating too much, in order to help digest the food, Xu Sichen took out a bunch of fresh ingredients and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Thinking about the fact that she had been going out every day these days, being out all day and having lunch outside, she decided to make more small rice balls, the kind that you can eat one in one bite.
Convenient, delicious and not easy to get hungry.
Wash rice and cook, one pot of white rice, one pot of black rice, and one pot of colorful multi-grain rice.
Spread the rice flat on a small bamboo mat, then put various fillings in it.
Pork floss, ham, egg yolk, shrimp, eel, salmon, crab, matsutake mushroom, caviar...
Anyway, she just uses whatever she has, cooks it herself, and eats it herself. Even if it is a dark dish, she doesn't mind it.
Hundreds of savory ones were made, and Xu Sichen made dozens of sweet rice balls.
Sesame, chestnuts, red bean paste, candied dates, raisins, peanut butter, and even fruits are not spared. I tried making a few mangoes and they tasted pretty good.
Or try chocolate.
After finishing, looking at the white, plump, colorful little rice balls, Xu Sichen subconsciously took out her mobile phone, ready to share the fruits of her labor with Xu Anran.
As soon as I finished posting, I noticed that the owners’ group was much more lively than before.
There were only a few messages a day before, but today there are hundreds of unread messages.
After entering, the first thing I saw was a video. The picture was recorded from the screen of the video doorbell.
In the photo, there are five men in dirty and torn clothes, swinging various sticks, knives and axes, smashing and kicking the opposite side.
The fierce threats heard through the video made people's scalps tingle.
"Open the door, open it quickly! Otherwise, when I break the door down, none of you will survive." These were the voices of the robbers.
"You guys leave quickly, I've called the police, they'll be here soon!"
The voice of 702 came through the doorbell: "Hey guys, we really have nothing left at home. Please leave. I, I have called the police, and the police will be here soon!"
The voice sounded familiar, and Xu Sichen remembered that it was the man whose mouth was broken by her.
It seems his name is Tiantian Huaiyuan.
Robber: "Fuck you! You're trying to scare us with the police. Do you think we're going to do anything big? I'm going to stay here today and see if the police come. Brothers, smash it up as hard as you can."
The banging on the door became louder.
No matter how good the quality of the door of Central Garden is, it cannot withstand such beating and smashing. In just a few minutes, the door was smashed.
Then the video screen shook violently, mixed with the screams and pleas for mercy of men and women.
The video ends with a scene where a scarred man looks back at the camera.
The person filming the video was probably frightened and stopped recording in a hurry.
This was followed by a voice message.
"Help, help! I live in 701, Building 1. Someone is killing and robbing people across the street from my house. Please come and help! Where are the property management? Where are they?"
The man must have been extremely frightened, his voice was shaking. Besides being frightened by the brutality of the group of people, he was probably more afraid that after robbing the house next door, they would come and rob his house.
"Who on earth are these people? They just openly break into homes and kill and rob people."
"Oh my god, these are just a bunch of robbers. They won't let go after robbing a family. What should we do?"
No one responded to the call for help from 1-701, only endless panic continued to spread in the group.
Xu Sichen's expression also became a little more serious.
Sure enough, the acceleration of natural disasters in this life has changed many things.
In my previous life, after the extreme cold hit, the government arranged for the distribution of relief supplies. Although life was difficult, we were still able to hold on.
Although there were robberies and murders, they were all done secretly, not as openly as they are now.
The real unrest began after the aid supplies were withdrawn.
At that time, the government was short of supplies, so it decided to provide self-rescue services to the survivors in the form of a base.
Now the rapid intensification of natural disasters has increased the burden of rescue and also accelerated the chaos of order.
Looking at the look in the scarred man's eyes, Xu Sichen knew at a glance that he was a murderer.
Central Garden is a well-known high-end residential area, where wealthy people live. This is why it was chosen as a temporary base in the previous life.
But now, in the eyes of many people, it is a hot commodity.
It seems that these peaceful days are about to end.
I received several messages over the phone reminding people to be safe. In addition to Qian Wenbin and others, there was also Wei Mingliang, who I hadn't contacted for a long time.
"Sister Xu, I heard from Uncle Qian that those people are most likely from prison."
Uncle Qian? I guess it’s Qian Wenbin.
This guy was quite capable. He slowly gathered together several relatively reliable people from Building 5, and formed a team to go outside to collect supplies every day.
When rescue efforts were delayed, those who had been eagerly hoping for help could no longer wait and went out to collect supplies.
