Chapter 250 Old acquaintance
The resettlement of the workers in the training ground went smoothly. The houses were ready-made and were much more comfortable to live in than tents, which immediately reduced the workers' discomfort a lot.
At the same time, Xu Sichen took Wei Mingliang to fill the warehouse.
Kitchen utensils and ingredients for the canteen, equipment and medicines for the clinic, and equipment and weapons for the guards.
Looking at the various supplies filling the warehouse, and then looking at the almost empty space and inventory, Xu Sichen began to think for the first time, wondering if he had stockpiled too much.
At this rate of consumption, it will take her forever to use all those fancy new products in the mall.
More importantly, she also wants to clear out the entire space and then search for the missing energy in those oil-rich countries.
The energy in the space mall is really too expensive, and buying it with gold coins is too cost-effective.
After completing the warehouse handover with Wei Mingliang, Xu Sichen took the round-trip special car back to the base.
Just as she was about to enter the city gate, she heard a sharp noise.
"No, you must have the wrong person. My husband and son are just ordinary people. They can't even kill a chicken, so how could they kill someone?"
"Oh my god, I thought I'd have a good life after escaping from this devil's den at Haichuan Base, but I didn't expect it to be just another man-eating devil's den."
Turning around, I saw a sturdy old lady sitting on the ground and crying loudly at a temporary resettlement site not far away.
The two men who were held captive by the guards struggled desperately to break free, but they did not move at all.
The unaware victims heard the noise and gathered around timidly, looking at the guards with eyes full of fear and anxiety, fearing that they would be caught and dragged away the next moment.
The guards loudly explained, "There are traces of guns on their hands. They are most likely the criminals from Haichuan Base. We are only temporarily detaining them. If no one identifies them in the end, we will release them."
"What gun? Don't accuse us. We have never even seen a gun, let alone how to use it." The two men cried out in injustice.
The stout old woman joined in, pounding the ground and crying, "None of those you took away ever came back. If my husband and son were taken away by you, they would never come back either."
The guard said seriously, "Don't you know why they didn't come back?"
Every time they execute these criminals, they will first publicize their identities and announce their crimes.
They will not let any criminal go, and will never wrongly accuse anyone.
The disaster victims who were watching the scene in the past few days have indeed witnessed the fair and just way the Morning Light Base Guards handled the situation. They also found that they were indeed different from the group of thugs at the Haichuan Base before, so they also restrained their vigilance a little.
A hint of panic flashed across the sturdy old woman's eyes. She stopped throwing a tantrum and scrambled to her feet. She knelt before the guards, kowtowed, and begged, "Master, Masters, I beg you. We were a family of eight, and now there are only three of us left. If anything happens to those two, I won't live! Isn't it okay for us not to go to your base? I only ask you to let us go. Even if we die, we want to die together as a family."
This tearful scene really touched many people.
After all, who hasn't lost a few family members?
"Guard, could we be mistaken? The three of them were walking with us earlier. They were quite kind and even helped me support my dad. They shouldn't be that group of crazy people."
"Indeed, those who were arrested before were all dejected and hopeless, which is completely different from them. Why not let them go first?"
For a while, there were actually a few victims who pleaded for them.
The stout old lady knelt on the ground, wiping her tears from time to time, which made people feel a little sympathetic: "Thank you, thank you all for speaking up for me, but in order to avoid getting yourself into trouble, please don't get involved."
This made many people feel even more uncomfortable.
Someone couldn't help but murmur, "This base doesn't seem like a good place to be. Why don't we just leave on our own?"
"What they did was exactly the same as when I first entered the Haichuan base. They arrested people without any reason."
The guards believed that their judgment was correct and held the man tightly, but they were not in a good mood when faced with the speculations of the victims.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a familiar cold voice sounded behind them: "You really shouldn't arrest them."
The two guards turned around and saw their base commander standing behind them. They panicked for a moment, thinking that they had really done something wrong.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard the base commander continue, "You should arrest this old woman as well."
When the old lady who was named heard this, she immediately became furious: "Fuck you, that shameless bitch actually took advantage of my misfortune and even didn't let an old woman like me go!"
She jumped up and wanted to spray the other person in the face.
But before she could stand up, her arms were pulled back and held down.
"Let me go, you bullies, you hooligans! You are deliberately framing my family and trying to kill us. Everyone, did you see that? The so-called survivor base is actually a cannibalistic base. Run away quickly, or we will end up like you."
A flurry of spit flew everywhere, frightening the already anxious victims so much that they huddled together, looking at Xu Sichen and the others as if they were looking at enemies.
If it happened before the end of the world, the guards would definitely be heartbroken when they were looked at like this by the people they rescued.
But now they won't.
Now they do so many things not for those ungrateful people, but to express their gratitude to their savior.
As for Xu Sichen, that would be even worse.
She glanced over with a cold gaze, and seeing their timid expressions, she sneered, "Don't act like you're forcing good women into prostitution. I told you from the beginning, if you want to come into my base, you must abide by my rules. If you want to leave, no one will stop you!"
If you want to come back after leaving, it is naturally impossible.
Everyone present was shocked by Xu Sichen's look.
What does it mean that they want to leave and no one stops them?
Don't these people spend so much effort to rescue them, give them treatment, and feed them, just to keep them?
They had heard that the more people there were in a base, the stronger the base was, and many bases were trying every possible way to attract people to work for them.
Why do they sound as if they are not important when it comes to this person's mouth?
Just as they were in a state of confusion, the stout old lady who had been detained suddenly cried out, "Ah! It's you, it's you, you're the woman who rented my house before!"
