Chapter 117 Serious shortage of manpower
When Xiao Zheyu saw the electric baton, he drooled with envy. If he had an electric baton in his hand, he would not have been in such a miserable situation.
Li Yu'e said: "That criminal police officer was quite considerate. He knew that charging is not easy nowadays, so he prepared two spare batteries."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and didn't respond, changing the subject: "Zhou Qiuyang, do you know where the coach went?"
Zhou Qiuyang hummed, "Yes, he heard that the indoor cultivation site had moved a group of people to nearby residential buildings for refuge. When he returned home and didn't see Sister Yu'e, he thought she had gone to the residential building, so he ran to look for her there."
Hearing about Wen Jianfeng's whereabouts, Li Yu'e breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm going out to look for him now. Xiaoyang, please help look after Lingling and Axu. I'll be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheyu immediately said, "Sister Yu'e, please don't go out! What if you run into any bad guys..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Yu'e interrupted and said, "It's okay. I've brought a crossbow and a knife. I can handle it even if I encounter some blind beasts."
Xia Xiaoman said: "I'll drive Sister Yu'e there! We can go back to Shuiyue Bay on the way."
With Xia Xiaoman around, the others felt relieved and stopped trying to persuade Li Yu'e.
When she drove to the gate of the community, she saw Wen Jianfeng, who was exhausted. Li Yu'e immediately got out of the car and ran over to hug him excitedly. After she calmed down a little, she held his hand and smiled at Xia Xiaoman.
Seeing that they had nothing to do, Xia Xiaoman drove away. On the way back, she stopped by Ponytail's auto repair shop to see if she could get a bargain.
Before I got close, I saw a fire in the repair shop and vaguely saw some people fighting with machetes and sticks.
Realizing that there was nothing to lose, Xia Xiaoman immediately turned around and left to avoid being involved in unnecessary disputes.
When I returned to the community, I saw Fu Baiwei squatting at her door from a distance.
After driving the car into the garage, she got out and asked, "Why are you here? Where's your boyfriend?"
Fu Baiwei said, "He was taken to the power station for emergency rescue. I was idle at home and wanted to come over to return the appliances that the previous customers left here."
"Why don't you go outside with the rest of the community to look for supplies if you have nothing else to do?"
Fu Baiwei said helplessly: "Ayun won't let me go, saying it's too dangerous outside now."
Last night she went to the power station alone to find Sun Haiyun, and scared Sun Haiyun half to death.
A tornado destroyed the little order that the floating city had finally rebuilt. Now robberies and murders were happening everywhere. If she ran out as a woman, she would most likely be targeted.
But the situation last night was special, and she didn't care about her own safety at that time. But she was not stupid, she didn't dare to walk slowly on the way to the power station, and she kept jogging with the iron rod.
Those who wanted to touch her had already run away before they could even think of doing so.
Xia Xiaoman opened the door and put away the trap she had set before leaving home before letting Fu Baiwei in.
Fu Baiwei asked as she carried the battery: "Xiao Man, aren't you going out to look for supplies?"
Xia Xiaoman said without thinking: "No, I still have food at home. The generator is still usable. If I really have nothing to eat, I will rent electricity."
She endured the sweltering weather and worked hard all night to find just a few supplies, which were not even as much as she had salvaged during the flood. She would have gone out if she had lost her mind.
Fu Baiwei's eyes lit up, "Your generator is not broken! That's great! Then I can continue to be a second-hand charging boss in the future."
Xia Xiaoman jokingly said, "Come on, it's up to you whether I will have a good life or eat coarse food in the future."
Fu Baiwei patted her chest in cooperation and said, "Don't worry, with me here, we will definitely be able to carry forward our charging business!"
…
The damage caused by the tornado was too great, and police forces across the city were busy rescuing the injured and collecting the bodies and debris.
Some people not only refused to lighten the burden on Fucheng, but also increased it. Fighting and robbing everywhere, bullying men and women, the Fucheng government had to send some police forces to stop these things from happening and try to control the situation.
The Fucheng government was severely understaffed, resulting in a lack of staff to manage the water wells.
The covers of some wells were blown away by the tornado. People living nearby rushed to fetch water like crazy. After drawing a bucket of water, they drank a few sips and poured it over themselves, then stood by the well to scrub themselves.
The manhole covers of some wells were still intact. The nearby residents were so thirsty that they waited for the staff to open the wells for a long time, so they violently removed the manhole covers and wasted the well water.
The people in Shuiyue Bay were under the control of the property management department. Although they were also very thirsty, they did not dare to dismantle the well at will.
Around 4 a.m., people were finally arranged to dig the well. Xia Xiaoman received the news and went out with a bucket to fetch water.
Perhaps they were really thirsty, for when they were queuing up to get water, the people in Shuiyue Bay were no longer as calm as before, and they were all whispering to each other why they didn't hurry up.
"Ah!!" Suddenly, a sharp scream resounded all around, and everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to the direction where the sound came from. A woman was seen slumped on the ground, her body trembling constantly, pointing at the flowerbed and shouting in horror: "There...there is a dead person..."
The people in the queue murmured in a nonchalant manner: "It's just a dead body. We can see it just by walking a few steps outside the community. What's the big deal?"
Several patrolmen walked over and tried to carry the body out of the community, but when they got there, they discovered that things were not as they imagined.
They thought the body was blown in by the tornado, but when they got closer they saw that the body was not on the ground, but buried in the flower bed. It was obvious that someone had done it on purpose.
The woman felt the urge to go to the toilet while waiting in line, so she ran to the flower bed. When she stepped into the flower bed, she realized something was wrong. She dug up the top layer of soil and saw a hideous face.
The eyelids of the corpse were sewn up with needle and thread, and the corners of the mouth were pulled to the sides with needle and thread, and the whole face looked like a smiling clown.
Just by looking at this face, you can tell that this person did not die of natural causes.
The patrol team dug up the body and found that it had been cut from the collarbone down to the abdomen, and then sewn up with needle and thread.
A brave man reached out and pressed the abdomen of the corpse and felt as if there was something round inside.
The situation was beyond their ability to handle, so the patrol team immediately notified the property management department, and soon Aunt Xing and Luo Youqiang came over.
Old Man Luo took a look at the body and asked someone to find Chen Peiqiong from the logistics department. The logistics department should have seen such meticulous stitches.
It is not strange to see corpses in times of natural disasters and chaos, but seeing such a strange corpse still makes people feel creepy.
People queuing for water were talking about who had killed someone and buried the body in the flower bed.
