Chapter 12: To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself
There is a warehouse behind the front desk of the cheongsam shop, so the front desk is made wide and long. If you don’t look carefully, you really can’t notice that there is a speedboat inside.
When Xia Xiaoman saw the speedboat, he found something wrong.
"Where did you get that assault boat?" Xia Xiaoman pointed a knife at the leading man.
The man stumbled and said, "I, I picked it up."
"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up? Let me pick it up too." The blade approached the man's neck, leaving a red mark.
The man turned pale with fear. "It happened right in my neighborhood. I saw the speedboat was washed into a corner by the water and no one was driving it, so I picked it up and used it myself."
Ye Xiaojie noticed that something was wrong with Xia Xiaoman and asked, "Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
Xia Xiaoman stabbed the man's shoulder with the knife in her backhand. "There are two life jackets with blood and knife marks on the assault boat."
Ye Xiaojie's expression changed instantly. She pulled the man's hair and asked, "Did you kill the rescuers?"
"No, no, I don't understand what you are talking about..." The man refused to admit it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you can understand it."
Xia Xiaoman threw them into the water one by one and hung them with a rope, leaving only their heads above the water.
Faced with death threats, someone soon told the truth, "Don't, ahem, don't kill me! Ahem, they killed the person, it has nothing to do with me!"
These guys are all lazy gamblers.
The rain wasn't that heavy in the past two days, so these people had an idea and decided to go to the gold shop to find gold and make a fortune.
There was no water transportation, so they could only swim to the gold shop. On the way, they met search and rescue personnel, who thought they were in distress and rescued them on a speedboat.
Unexpectedly, these people became greedy, took out the knives they carried with them, and killed the two search and rescue workers.
They came back to the mall because there was a gold shop on the first floor, but they couldn't sneak into the first floor because they didn't have diving equipment, so they had to settle for the next best thing and go find some food to take back. Unexpectedly, they met Xia Xiaoman and several violent perverted women.
Knowing that these people had killed the rescuers, Ye Xiaojie asked, "Should we call the police?"
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "It may not be possible to get through to the police right now. Even if it does, they may not have time to come."
"What are you talking about? Come over here and help!" Sun Qing grunted as she carried a gas tank.
"Don't worry about them, let's find supplies first." Xia Xiaoman said, and went to help Sun Qing move the gas tank.
The shopping mall, including the underground floor, has a total of nine floors. Currently, the fifth floor and above are not flooded.
Xia Xiaoman packed up the supplies, left Ye Xiaojie to guard the place, and followed Sun Qing to go upstairs to move the gas tank.
The restaurant upstairs was pried open by the gang. Sun Qing planned to move six gas tanks, two for each family, to last until the flood receded.
While she wasn't paying attention, Xia Xiaoman went to two more restaurants and collected seven or eight gas cylinders.
When preparing to leave the mall, Sun Qing pried open the door of a women's clothing store on the fifth floor and took out several sets of clothes, shoes, socks and underwear.
The weather was humid and the clothes at home could not dry. If she and Ye Xiaojie did not prepare a few more sets of clothes, they would have to wear wet clothes to get by.
After leaving the store, she stared at the store name for half a minute, memorized it in her mind, and planned to come to this store more often to shop after the flood receded.
The assault boat was a six-seater and quite heavy. Xia Xiaoman and the other two worked together to move, push and pull it. It took them a long time to finally pull the assault boat out.
Three kayaks filled with supplies were tied to the tail of the speedboat. After they were secured, Sun Qing started the speedboat and slowly towed the three kayaks towards the community at the lowest speed.
"Hey! Hey! Ahem, don't go! Let us go!"
The group of people hanging in the water shouted for help one after another. Xia Xiaoman patted the stunned Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie and said, "Let's go! Don't worry about them."
Sun Qing hesitated, "If we just leave, will they drown?"
Although the rainfall now is not as heavy as in the past few days, the water level is still rising. In a few hours, those people will be drowned by the accumulated water.
Xia Xiaoman thought that if they were to drown, they should be drowned. Those murderers deserved to be drowned.
But she was afraid that Sun Qing would think she was too cold-blooded, so she thought for a moment and said, "If you want to let them go, then let them go!"
"After we get the supplies back to the community later, you can call or drive the speedboat out to find Uncle Hat to catch them."
Of course, she would not get involved in these things.
Her experiences from childhood to adulthood taught her that being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.
If Sun Qing wants to be merciful to her enemies, then she should handle the follow-up matters herself.
"We live in a society ruled by law now. If they break the law, they will be punished. But if we kill them, we may end up in jail."
Sun Qing jumped off the assault boat and said, "I brought my cell phone with me. I will take pictures of their faces later. After I transport the supplies back, I will drive the assault boat to find the rescue team and capture the people."
She took pictures of the men, cut the rope and left.
With the assault boat, Xia Xiaoman and her friends freed their hands and returned to the community easily. Along the way, they received many envious and jealous looks.
After arriving downstairs, Xia Xiaoman went upstairs and called Zhou Qiuyang to come down to move the supplies.
Perhaps everyone in the building had gone out to salvage supplies, so she didn't meet many people on her way up the building.
After successfully moving the supplies back home, Sun Qing drove the speedboat to find the rescue team, while Xia Xiaoman and others gathered in the corridor on the seventh floor to distribute the supplies.
Just after the supplies were distributed, Sun Qing came back.
Not long after she left the community, she met a rescue team distributing supplies. She confessed to the group of people who had killed people and robbed boats, sent photos, and was sent back to the community.
Zhou Qiuyang grasped the key point, "Is there a rescue team delivering supplies?"
Sun Qing nodded. "Well, the rescue team said there will be strong convection tomorrow, with heavy rain. It may be more terrible than the day when the flood backflowed. So they distributed a week's worth of supplies in advance and asked everyone to stay at home as much as possible."
"Is it more terrifying than the day when the flood backflowed? Will it flood our seventh floor?" Zhou Qiuyang looked worried.
It has been a week since the flood backflow, and the water has reached the third floor. If the severe convective weather continues for a week, it may flood the seventh floor.
"I don't know, I hope it won't be flooded." Sun Qing moved the supplies back to the house with a worried look on her face. "Fuck! Why is the house full of water?"
Just as Zhou Qiuyang was about to explain that it might be a flood backflow, Sun Qing's frantic voice came again, "Fuck! Why are there so many cockroaches! Fuck, fuck, rats, really big ones, not just two, really big rats!"
"Don't run, you damn rat! I'll kill you!"
