Chapter 376 Heavenly Punishment
Li Yu'e is not a stubborn person. Lingxu Gang has a large number of people, but if they face all the survivors in the garrison, the number of people in Lingxu Gang is not enough.
After Xia Xiaoman left, she immediately gathered people to build a snow wall to surround the Lingxu Gang, and spread the news that no one in the Lingxu Gang was allowed to go out. If they wanted to go out, they had to report to Chen Ya in advance. Chen Ya would make arrangements based on the people who applied to go out that day and try to let them go out together.
In order to prevent sneak attacks, Li Yu'e also arranged for people to take turns patrolling and standing guard. Some traps were also set, but because they still had to build snow walls, it was not convenient to set too many traps, so they only set traps in a few places where sneak attacks might occur.
On the other side, after returning home, Xia Xiaoman immediately set traps.
She originally wanted to build a snow wall to add a line of defense for her home, but her home is connected to the three acres of land in front of the door, and it would be too much work to build a snow wall all over it.
Xia Xiaoman froze some icicles and stuck them upside down on the snow, and then placed some animal traps and covered them with snow. If someone stepped on them without knowing it, they would either get their feet pierced by the icicles or have their legs broken by the traps.
After setting the trap, Xia Xiaoman stayed indoors and only occasionally took Maodan to the yard to see if there were any steel-toothed rabbits.
The cold wave drove away the skuas, and the steel-toothed rabbits, which had no natural enemies, became arrogant again. Every time Maodan went to the yard, he could catch three or four steel-toothed rabbits.
That day, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan to the yard to catch steel-toothed rabbits. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw flames rising to the sky not far away, and could vaguely hear cries and begging for mercy.
Xia Xiaoman stared at the fire for a while, then continued to walk towards the yard with Maodan.
Such arson and robbery happened frequently during this period. On the third day after she came back from Lingxu, most people in Fucheng knew about the ozone layer, meteorite shower and other news.
The population of Floating City is more than double that of Yunhai City, but currently there are only two underground cities in Floating City, one of which is only a framework. In other words, there may be hundreds of thousands of people in Floating City who cannot enter the underground city.
This realization makes many people panic, fearing that they will become one of those hundreds of thousands of people.
So after learning the confidential information, many home robberies occurred in Fucheng overnight.
At first, the robbers just robbed, but later they became more and more daring, committing robbery, murder, arson and everything else.
They killed people not for fun, but because someone spread the news that as long as the population of the garrison was reduced to 500,000, everyone would be able to enter the underground city.
Because the Xia Kingdom needed the survivors to reproduce. So when the number of survivors decreased to a certain level, even if they were extremely evil, the government would not kill them.
This theory spread among the survivors, causing them to rob and kill more unscrupulously, and they formed an organization called Heavenly Punishment.
God has sent down disasters to punish mankind, and they will try every means to survive this punishment, even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of their companions.
The authorities have also taken corresponding measures to deal with this situation, and they have increased the number of patrol security teams.
The trading points have also been rectified. If someone brings a large amount of supplies to a trading point to redeem points, the trading point will deduct the other party's supplies for inspection. Only after the inspection is that the source of the other party's supplies is normal will the points be redeemed.
The office will keep an eye on the changes in points in each person's account. If there are accounts that have no points or little points for a long time, but have recently received a large number of points, the office will compile a list and hand it over to the security team for on-site inspection.
But every time there is a policy, there is a countermeasure.
Selling large quantities of supplies will be investigated, so they dispersed the supplies and let different people exchange the supplies for points. Then the points were placed on different cards, and then the points on the cards were slowly transferred.
The security team patrols are not very effective, there are too many people who want to grab supplies and exchange points to enter the dungeon. After the security team catches one batch, there is another batch, and they can never catch them all.
Some people are organized and premeditated. They find out the patrol routes of the security team in advance, and then avoid the patrol routes to go to other places to steal money and kill people. When the security team arrives, the victims have become the victims.
Xia Xiaoman lives in a relatively remote place, but judging from the place where she was robbed today, it is estimated that in two days, the robbers will pay attention to her place.
After Maodan caught the steel-toothed rabbit, Xia Xiaoman returned home, took out the crossbow arrow and rubbed it slowly on the stone. After grinding for a while, she washed the arrow head with clean water and touched it with her hand. Feeling that the crossbow arrow was sharp enough, she changed to another one and continued to grind it.
The killing game in the floating city has begun. The enemies Xia Xiaoman will face will be most of the survivors in the garrison. She must be fully prepared to fight.
During this period, Xia Xiaoman took out all the weapons in the space and selected suitable weapons to place in the house.
In the small living room, there are all kinds of weapons hidden. Knives of different sizes, axes, crossbows, long-handled hoes, forks, pistols, submachine guns and rifles, etc. In addition to the living room, a batch of weapons are also arranged in the space for her to take out at any time.
…
The robbers arrived earlier than Xia Xiaoman expected.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xia Xiaoman was still asleep when Maodan sat on her butt and woke her up.
When he opened his eyes and saw Maodan staring outside vigilantly, Xia Xiaoman immediately got out of bed, put on his clothes, took the pistol hidden under his pillow, put on his crossbow and Tang sword, and quietly walked to the door.
It was quiet outside. Less than a minute later, there was a bang, as if something heavy had hit the gate of the yard. Then there was a noise outside, and someone was cursing at something.
Before Xia Xiaoman could hear what the other party said, a scream suddenly rang out, "Ahh! Fuck! There's a trap! Damn it, why are you running? Come and help me out!"
"You guys, use sticks to remove the traps on the ground!" another voice came from outside.
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman opened the door in the dark and quietly walked out with Maodan. Seeing several people at the door poking around in the snow with long sticks, Xia Xiaoman took off the crossbow on his back, loaded the crossbow with arrows, aimed at one of them and pulled the trigger.
The next second, a scream was heard and the person who was shot by the arrow covered his cheek and stepped back.
In winter, everyone wears thick clothes, and the only exposed part is the face. Xia Xiaoman quickly reloaded the crossbow, aimed at the other person's face, and pulled the trigger again.
As soon as they entered the door, three people were injured. The leader was so angry that his face turned blue and he growled, "Take out the snow vine and burn her to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, snow vines rained down on Xia Xiaoman. Maodan's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened his mouth to catch the snow vines that were coming, and piled them at Xia Xiaoman's feet.
