Chapter 39 Lou Yuncheng
Shu Fu assembled the nail gun, checked it, put it aside, and finally sat down on the single sofa next to her.
Fortunately, she went to bed early tonight, so even though she was woken up at three o'clock, she still slept for six hours.
She could stay here soberly and continue to call for help.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the rescue team finally arrived.
A night of horror and chaos.
For some people in Jixing Community, this night was a nightmare filled with blood.
But for most people, this night was a night of gritting their teeth and holding on, trembling with fear while mustering up the courage to take up weapons and guard their own homes.
Thanks to the message Zheng Feifei sent in the Jixing community group, in fact, when she discovered the situation that night, other individual residents also discovered it, and they also could not get through the rescue and police lines.
They were extremely panicked, not knowing whether they should escape before those people came over.
They always felt that as long as they could take the elevator to the garage on the first floor and get in their own car, they could leave here safely!
However, all the chaotic emotions slowly calmed down after seeing these defensive warnings.
People in the community always know a few neighbors of each other. They each call the people they are familiar with, wake them up one by one, and exchange information.
Just like that, when the mob began to repeat their old tricks and wanted to sweep the entire community before the rescue team arrived, the residents who woke up quietly defended against the invaders, delayed time, and gave the rescue team a chance to arrive.
Cheng Yu and Liu Shuang were a little surprised, because this was the first time they saw many bodies of rioters on the ground outside the building in this community, rather than the bodies of ordinary residents.
They all look very ordinary, but they are easy to recognize because they all have a white cloth tied on their left arms.
Among the refugees who participated in the riot, there should be people who were familiar with combat operations. They made a plan and quietly divided into many teams. Some of them went to farther places to attack several important buildings: gas stations, hospitals, and banks.
They made their own Molotov cocktails, created chaos, took hostages and pretended to demand negotiations. They were extremely high-profile. Wherever they went, nearby residents would call the rescue team and the police.
In this way, they attracted the personnel and forces of the army, rescue team and police station.
However, the large force quietly dispersed and acted separately. They first set up roadblocks with cars, trees and buildings at several key intersections, and finally gathered quietly in several residential areas and supermarkets where they had already explored the roads in the rainy night to implement the real looting plan.
They were so successful that in the first few hours after the incident, no one knew that on the other side of the east city, under the cover of darkness and heavy rain, real looting and killing was going on.
Jixing Community is the farthest away from several other communities and is the most remote.
When a number of police cars and military jeeps drove into the community, almost everyone's heart sank.
In other residential areas and several large and small supermarkets they had visited before, they could hear all kinds of crying and cries for help as soon as they drove closer, but until they drove into the Jixing community, they still didn't hear any sound.
A captain couldn't help but ask, "No way, is it so tragic here... that no one is alive?"
Another team member caught a glimpse of the captain's face in the passenger seat and gave him a look to shut up.
Although only one person made the guess, this guess was silently rolling over everyone's mind. From last night to now, in less than 12 hours, they have seen too much blood and tragic scenes.
Some members of the troops and rescue team had experience in carrying out missions in border areas, but they still had an extremely difficult night.
The car stopped, and the team members got out one by one quickly and silently. They were fully armed, and their clothes, gloves and helmets were stained with blood. It was still raining heavily outside the car, but they seemed unaware. After getting out of the car, they skillfully and quickly formed a formation, holding their guns, crouching and began to move forward.
However, until they crossed the open space in the middle of the community and arrived at the bottom of the building, the surroundings were still quiet.
Soon after, they found twisted bodies around.
"We are indeed late..." a team member murmured silently.
"No!" But soon, another team member spoke up, "These are not the bodies of the residents, these are the bodies of the rioters!"
"Keep calm, be careful of traps." Cheng Yu turned around and made a few gestures to his team members. They understood and dispersed with their team members, searching around vigilantly.
Liu Shuang and several other team leaders also began patrolling different areas.
As the team members outside the building dispersed, the residents who had stayed inside the building since midnight carefully looked out through the glass windows. The terrifying noises in the building had disappeared for a long time, but they did not dare to come out, fearing that this was just another deception trap set by those people.
They still blocked the door and defended themselves at the windows with weapons in hand. At the same time, they took the time to cheer each other up in the residents' group. Some people said that they had already called the rescue line and help should arrive soon.
So at this moment, the people who had been guarding by the window heard the slight noise outside and looked out, while having a heated discussion in the group.
"Is that someone from the military?"
"He's holding a gun, right?"
"Could it be that those thugs were pretending?"
"No way! Those thugs are so poor. They smashed the door for a long time but didn't even have a gun. Look at the people downstairs. They are marching in a very regular pattern and wearing the same equipment. They must be from the army!"
"Don't worry, wait a little longer, it won't take too long..."
…
Some people were hesitant, while others had already opened the window, holding a loud speaker and shouting outside: "Hey! Are you from the army downstairs?"
After the first person called out, there was a second person who asked, "Hey, does anyone have any ID that you can show me?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You need to show me your ID. I'm telling you, I'm really good at detecting liars now!"
"Young man, what are you doing hiding in the bushes outside with your eyes on your waist? Hurry up and get into the building. The family next door to me was tricked into opening the door before dawn. Go and see if the person can be saved!"
…
Outside the building, the team members were holding guns and moving around alertly: …
**
Compared with several other communities and supermarkets in the east of the city that were looted, Jixing Community became the luckiest community in this disaster with an extremely low death toll.
But this luck did not come from heaven, but was man-made.
The saying "God helps those who help themselves" is most appropriate here.
The chaos ended overnight, but the subsequent cleanup took several days in fits and starts.
In addition to treating the wounded, cleaning up the bodies, reinforcing the entrances and exits of the community, and repairing damaged doors and windows of the buildings, anti-theft doors and combination locks must be installed at the bottom of the buildings. The most important thing is to check people from house to house to confirm whether there are any rioters who have taken advantage of the chaos to occupy the community and disguise themselves as ordinary residents.
None of this work can be accomplished overnight.
Several small leaders among the rioters were captured and revealed their planned escape routes. One route went west to the large mountainous area with higher altitudes. Another route went southeast, bypassing the location of Dam No. 1, and escaped outside the high wall through the gap between the two dams - the hilly area with higher altitudes.
However, although the mob leaders designed an escape route, they also knew that there was actually no way out of this action. Doing these things in a city where social order has not yet collapsed would result in the death penalty if caught.
Therefore, when they incited more people to join this action, they used various brainwashing speeches to package this criminal behavior as the inevitable process of history and the rise and development of a new era.
Of course, among those who joined, there were also many marginalized people in society who were originally afraid that the world would not be in chaos. After all, if the world was not in chaos, they would not be able to live as they wished.
In the end, everyone was so excited that no one even blocked their faces when they committed crimes. Even if these people escaped before the troops arrived, they could not escape the cameras in the streets and buildings.
Every face and feature of those people was recorded and they became wanted criminals.
Ironically, each of the small leaders who planned all this kept a low profile and protected their faces. However, now that Lou Yuncheng has put all its efforts into arresting them, it is not so easy to escape.
In addition, several reporting hotlines have been opened for the chaos. Anyone who sees any suspicious gatherings can report it, and those who report correctly will receive certain material rewards.
Although there are only four buildings in Jixing Community, there are many residents in each building, so the task of inspecting every household is complicated and heavy.
The personnel doing this inspection cannot be a single one. First of all, there must be people from the property management and neighborhood committee who have the residents' information and are familiar with the residents' faces. Secondly, several troops or rescue teams will be randomly assigned every day to assist before the inspection can begin.
This move was mainly to prevent the presence of thugs pretending to be residents in the house. In short, half of the work was civilian work and the other half was armed work, with division of labor and cooperation.
Although Zheng Feifei changed her WeChat name, avatar and group notes before issuing the defensive warning that day, people from the property management and neighborhood committee had added her as a friend, and one could tell who she was by clicking on her avatar and looking at the chat history.
She did this just to prevent the emergence of traitors in the group that night. She was afraid that someone would tell the intruders about her warning to Jixing Community out of fear, causing the intruders to locate her home directly and cause trouble for her.
Now that the incident has passed, it doesn’t matter if the property management and neighborhood committee find out.
And in the final analysis, most people in Jixing Community were able to defend their homes and survive this time, thanks to the defensive warning issued by Zheng Feifei. This was her second time saving someone recently, and the neighborhood committee said frankly that they would combine the previous incidents and report her to the higher authorities to apply for a better reward.
But she was smart this time and asked Shu Fu in advance.
As expected, Shu Fu said without a second thought that she didn't want to show up and asked her not to mention her. She also said it in a similar way, saying that she only reminded her and it was Zheng Feifei herself who thought of reminding everyone in the community.
This is her own credit.
"This time, maybe you can ask about the Sand City Pass." If Zheng Feifei's contribution in the last waterspout incident was not enough, then maybe you can give it a try this time.
Zheng Feifei hummed and thanked Shu Fu again. She felt that this was the main reason why Shu Fu didn't want to take credit.
The other party knew that she really wanted to go to Sand City, but one pass could only be used by immediate family members, so she gave her the opportunity.
Shu Fu laughed: "What are you thanking me for? I may not be able to get the pass now. I'm just trying it out."
"Yeah." Zheng Feifei also agreed with this point. "One credit is not enough, we can try twice. Although it's not right to say this, if something happens somewhere now and we happen to take the credit, three times combined might really be enough..."
But Zheng Feifei was just saying this casually. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is best not to happen if possible.
At the end of the call, Zheng Feifei asked Shu Fu to come over for dinner tonight, saying that this time not only her, but also her parents wanted to thank her for being their lifesaver.
"We haven't finished the inspection yet. We're only on the 13th floor now. As you know, before the inspection is completed, residents can only come in but not go out..." She wasn't being polite on purpose this time, but she really didn't know what time the inspection of Building 3 would be completed.
I heard that the inspection of Building 2 lasted until after 10 o'clock yesterday evening. This matter cannot be rushed and everyone was very cooperative. Some even hoped that the inspection could be more thorough so as not to leave any hidden dangers.
What's more, the two passages connecting Building 4 and Building 3 have been temporarily blocked, and the inspection of Building 4 will not begin until tomorrow.
If she wanted to go to Zheng Feifei's place tonight, she would have to go out from outside the building. She could get in but not get out, so she had to stay overnight at her house.
"If it's late, just treat it as a midnight snack. If it's overnight, just stay overnight. You sleep with me and we can chat. How nice!"
Zheng Feifei extended an invitation for Shu Fu to stay overnight, but was ultimately declined. The residents had been unable to go out these past few days, and had to rely on outsiders to deliver drinking water. Due to the large demand, most of the food delivered was a single dish or fast food. If she went there to eat and stay overnight at this time, wouldn't that be causing trouble for no reason?
At this time, Shu Fu didn't know that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Half an hour later, Shu Fu, who was trying to decorate the rental house to make it look more like someone lived in it, felt her "little cutie" trembling.
Come to life!
Shu Fu was startled, unlocked the bracelet, and took out the black notebook.
[Before 24:00 tonight, check in at Zheng Feifei's house and accept her invitation to have dinner and spend the night, and you will get a 10% progress bar for level 3 of the raft. (Current progress of level 3 of the raft: 45%)
Note: Failure to complete this task will deduct 10% of the progress bar. 】
Comfortable:……
If she called now and told Zheng Feifei that she would come over for dinner no matter how late it was tonight and would stay overnight at her house, would she seem like a psycho?
