Chapter 44



Lu Youjie lives in a wealthy residential area. The streets are much wider than those on Zhao's side, and each courtyard is distributed separately. It is obvious that only people of higher status can live there. There are also people patrolling outside at night.

Zhao Hengshui was obviously familiar with this place. He took Lin Man to avoid the patrolmen, climbed over the wall, and quietly invaded Lu Youjie's yard.

Because Lu Youjie was not around, the remaining three people had a rare chance to relax. They were gathered in the hall playing cards, looking at the door from time to time so that they could pack up their things as soon as someone came back.

Lin Man and Zhao Hengshui made some noise, making them think that Lu Youjie had returned. One of them was busy collecting the cards, while the other two ran out, muttering about why he came back so soon.

As soon as he came out, Lin Man hung upside down from the door and punched each of the two men on the back of the head, knocking them out directly. These two guys were not like the man with the hammer. They were just ordinary people and could not withstand a punch weighing hundreds of pounds. Lin Man was also careful to control his strength for fear of killing them.

She jumped down from above, grabbed the collars of the two men, caught them before they fell to the ground, and dragged them into the house.

At this time, Zhao Hengshui had also sneaked into the house and strangled the remaining man with his arm.

They threw the three of them together, closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and quickly went upstairs.

The house was a two-story building with only two rooms on the upper floor. They first entered the room that was obviously Lu Youjie's bedroom, and after searching for a while, they found a box.

"This is it!" Zhao Hengshui said. The box was locked, and Lin Man broke it open violently. Six boxes of capsules were stuffed on the foam, with ten capsules in each box, which was exactly the amount of nerve repair medicine for a course of treatment.

Lin Man was delighted: "Okay, let's find out what you need."

Then they found a rather heavy gun in the room. Zhao Hengshui's eyes lit up. "This seems to be the most classic pistol in the Dongyang base. It can blow the head off a high-level zombie with one shot, but it requires the use of supernatural powers."

This is a great thing! Even if it doesn't fight zombies, it's still a big threat to humans.

Lin Man thought he had already got the medicine, so he said generously: "You can take the gun yourself."

Zhao Hengshui didn't say anything. His family was going to leave the base, and having this gun would provide them with some protection.

There were also many compressed biscuits, energy bars and two cans of luncheon meat in Lu Youjie's room.

"It's synthesized from protein, not real meat. However, it's a rare commodity in the north and very expensive." Zhao Hengshui said that he and Lin Man would share the food equally.

In addition to food, there were also a few bags of potato chips, five-spice dried tofu and so on. It really surprised Lin Man that Lu Youjie brought snacks with him when he went out.

After searching this room, they went to the room next to it. This should be the room of the hammer man. No gun was found, but there were two daggers, one large and one small. They were shining with cold light and were definitely not ordinary items. Lin Man and Zhao Hengshui each took one. Lin Man took the initiative to ask for the smaller one. It was not that she was polite, but the smaller one was only half a palm long, which was very suitable for sneak attacks and should be easier to control with mental power.

There was no food in the room, so they went downstairs and found several bags of potatoes, a box of soap, a box of laundry detergent, and several full boxes of salt in a room.

Lin Man was overjoyed.

Zhao Hengshui was feeling bad that he couldn't take away all the potatoes, but he saw Lin Man had already stuffed soap and laundry detergent into the big sack. The corner of his mouth twitched, and then he thought that since she was the one who could take out so many sweet potatoes, she probably had no shortage of food.

Both of them filled a sack with things, and they were not greedy for more. They helped each other climb out of the yard, carrying the spoils and quietly leaving the base. They went to the place where the wall had a flaw that allowed people to enter and exit at night. The Zhao family had already come out, and after Lin Man and Zhao Hengshui came out, they said goodbye to each other.

Lin Man watched Zhao Hengshui's back as he walked away. Their family currently had a bag of potatoes to eat. If they could find a safe place, they would also have a small bag of sweet potatoes. After growing a season of sweet potatoes, the pressure of eating would be much less in the future.

Lin Man actually wanted to take them back to the Peace Base. After all, they were two people with special abilities, and Zhao Hengshui was also a good fighter. But when she thought about it, she was now trying to find a way out for the Peace Base, so why should she take others back?

Lin Man put everything at his feet into the space, then turned around and went back into the base.

She did not go back to Lu Youjie's place. Although there were still a lot of things there, they were not very attractive to her.

She walked quietly in the dark and narrow streets, throwing a sweet potato into every few households. After throwing it to hundreds of households, she turned and went to the administrative center. She used an ordinary bag she had taken from Lu Youjie, filled it with more than ten sweet potatoes, and threw it into the administrative center building from a distance.

With a bang, the sound of glass breaking, alarms and voices suddenly rang out, and Lin Man turned around and left quickly.

She gave this bag of sweet potatoes to the leader of the Nanming base as a sign of goodwill and to ask him to help with the aftermath.

After all, what happened to Lu Youjie was in the Zhao family. If Lu Youjie reported it to the leader of the base, and the latter went to arrest the Zhao family for the sake of face or something, it would be difficult for the Zhao family.

She thought that as long as the leader of the base was not a fool, he would be able to find out what happened tonight by investigating, and then he would understand what she meant and let the Zhao family go.

As for throwing sweet potatoes into ordinary people's homes, the purpose is to make this kind of sweet potatoes worthless. Lu Youjie's taking those sweet potatoes back should be considered a great achievement, but what if this kind of sweet potato is not actually that rare?

There are people from other bases in the north. If they are well-informed and smart, they will try their best to get these sweet potatoes and then plant them in their own bases.

Lin Man even thought about burying some sweet potatoes in a suitable place on the way back. If the conditions were not too bad, some of them would grow. By then, every base would have sweet potatoes, and there would be wild sweet potatoes in many places. Then Lu Youjie's contribution would be nothing, right?

The source of her sweet potatoes will become less important, and the fact that the Peace Base can grow sweet potatoes will become less conspicuous.

The news from the administrative center spread quickly, and when the bag of sweet potatoes was placed on the desk of the leader of the Nanming base, many people also got the news.

"Sweet potatoes?" Lin Cheng asked. "You said a bag of sweet potatoes broke the glass windows of the administrative center? Was it the kind that Lu Youjie had?"

The subordinate shook his head: "I don't know, now I only know that it is a bag of sweet potatoes."

Suddenly, a tall and thin man came in excitedly from outside: "Boss, look, what did I get?" The tall and thin man took out a small bag mysteriously, and took out a few big sweet potatoes with pointed ends and round bellies.

Lin Cheng was surprised: "Where did it come from?"

"Wasn't I just observing a suspected target? Suddenly, someone threw something into her house. I was surprised, and when I picked it up, it turned out to be a sweet potato. Amazingly, several nearby houses also had some. Do you think someone felt that the Nanming base was in such a plight that they offered aid in this way?"

He was still cheerful, but Lin Cheng interrupted him: "Where are the people?"

"What?"

“Where’s the guy who threw the sweet potato?”

"Well." He scratched his head. "The other person was walking very fast. I was busy picking up sweet potatoes, and then he left in a blink of an eye."

Lin Cheng was so angry that he almost died. He looked at the sweet potato carefully and said, "Take me where you found it." He then ordered the others, "Take our supplies."

People are now alert. Maybe other people have already discovered that sweet potatoes have been thrown into their homes. If they want to get the sweet potatoes from those people as soon as possible, it would be best to exchange them for something of much higher value.

Lin Cheng was the fastest to act, but others were equally quick. Some traded supplies for sweet potatoes, others simply grabbed them. By the time the law enforcement team arrived to intervene, the situation had become chaotic. Some took advantage of the situation and stole some sweet potatoes, while others were caught red-handed and demanded to hand over the potatoes. Naturally, the people at the Southern Ming base had no choice but to comply, while some at the Northern base entered a standoff with the Southern Ming base.

Lin Cheng withdrew from the chaos in time and had someone fly a helicopter overnight to return to the reunion base with more than a hundred sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes Lin Man threw this time were all very large, and more than a hundred of them weighed more than a hundred pounds. If planted properly, they could produce a large field.

Only then did Lin Cheng realize something: "Where is Lu Youjie?" It was so lively tonight, why didn't he show up?

Soon Lu Youjie was found tied up in an ordinary person's home, unconscious and covered in filth. Four of his men were also tied up with him. His residence was also ransacked and a lot of things were stolen.

The leader of the Nanming base is called Nanming. He was also attracted by the lively commotion tonight. He is a burly middle-aged man in his forties with a resolute face and a very courageous man. When he arrived at the scene, he frowned when he saw Lu Youjie's miserable appearance. Lu Youjie is a master after all, and he has people around him, so how could he be in such a mess?

He said in a deep voice: "Why don't you get the person out quickly?"

No one was willing to move; it was too smelly and dirty. Someone pointedly shouted, "Mr. Lu's men are over there."

The person being pointed out is Zhang Chengtao.

He had just come out to watch the fun, and when he heard that Lu Youjie was discovered here, he hurried over to see his newfound love, and to see if there was any chance for him to show off. As soon as he squeezed in, he was called out.

Nan Ming looked at him and said, "Why don't you go and clean up your heads, and get some stretchers to carry the people out." He said to his men, "Ask the medical team for help. If anyone wakes up, interrogate them. Tell me when you have news." With that, he left. It was too smelly in here, and he would rather study the bag of sweet potatoes.

Lu Youjie had just been treated like this when sweet potatoes appeared all over the streets. The other party obviously had a grudge against Lu Youjie. He had no grudge against Lu Youjie, but the person who had a grudge against Lu Youjie gave him a big gift, so he had to show his attitude.

When I went out, I ran into Lin Cheng: "Captain Lin, you are here too."

“Chief Nan, Lu Youjie is inside.”

"Yeah, tsk tsk, I'm afraid he hit a wall this time."

"Oh, my God! This, this method is too vicious!" There was a sudden cry of fear from inside. The two looked at each other and walked in together. Others hurriedly made way for them. Then they saw Zhang Chengtao squatting on the ground at a loss, wanting to move someone but not daring to. The man seemed to have something stuck in his crotch. Someone next to him helped to untie it, and then people saw his lower body that was roughly pierced by several thick needles.

Lin Cheng: “…”

Nan Ming: “…”
