Chapter 77
The moment the gun was pointed at him, Cen Qiu's legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground.
The twenty or so survivors in her group all showed desperate expressions at this moment. Just when they thought they could make a fortune and save enough supplies to go to the base, the accident happened so soon?!
Just like when they were trapped at home by the blizzard and almost starved to death, the government's voice appeared.
They thought they could survive.
But before the government could lead them, they heard about a prison riot. The resources that the government had just accumulated were wasted because of the intervention of external forces and those rioting bandits.
Later, Yun City was divided up, and all the survivors became "slaves" of that group of people.
With great difficulty, the authorities have now taken action to wipe out the group of people who preyed on ordinary survivors. They have also received a lot of supplies, and with the money they have earned now, it is enough for them to return to the base.
Got caught again?
The supplies they worked so hard to get are going to be gone again?!
Almost at the moment when they saw the muzzle of the gun, everyone subconsciously thought of the group of people who had been entrenched in Yun City for nearly two years.
In order to save time and firepower, the authorities have taken huge and quick actions, but who can guarantee that there will be no fish that slip through the net? |
Unfortunately, they caught the fish that slipped through the net...
Chen He had to admit that he was unlucky. He came here to travel and then couldn't go back. Now that he saw a way out, it was almost time. He didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Don't kill us. I can give you everything! Please don't kill us!"
The others suddenly came to their senses and started shouting, "Yes, yes, don't kill us, we don't want the things anymore..."
"Shut up!" Yu Cong shouted, and said in a deep voice: "Behave yourself, who wants you bastards? Go in!"
Everyone trembled, and shrank their necks like quails, doing what the other party said.
Yu Cong stared at the group of people and waved his left hand to let his men collect the supplies. Although he didn't want them, they couldn't be wasted, and it looked like these things were quite good.
When his men brought the things over, several of them's eyes lit up and they immediately opened the bags to show him.
Yu Cong's eyes dimmed. There were so many dried vegetables and fruits!
Dried vegetables were not uncommon. Although the land was polluted after the flood, the terrain in Yun City was high and there were still some hills that were not polluted. The starving survivors swarmed up to dig the soil and plant.
It's probably the same in other places.
It seems that his inference was correct. There were a lot of things in the RV, and there might be many things he needed. Of course, the most important thing was that he really needed the RV itself.
Before the natural disaster, he had been imprisoned in this prison for almost half of his sentence. He thought that this would be the end of his life, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. When the natural disaster came, the authorities wanted to relocate them out of humanitarian considerations to prevent them from being directly frozen to death by the natural disaster.
It just so happened that people from the neighboring country also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make some profit.
They hit it off immediately, and the two sides worked together to kill those who were escorting them. They directly led a group of people to occupy Yun City and some surrounding areas, and had a really cool time here.
I thought that with natural disasters happening so frequently today, they didn't plan to be too reckless and only operated in this area. At most, they would sell a few more weapons for some supplies, so as not to cause the authorities to take action against them at this time.
Unfortunately, I miscalculated, the officials really came.
The attack was so quick, accurate and ruthless.
If he hadn't been prepared, his ashes would have been scattered just like the other gangs.
Yu Cong realized something was wrong at the first moment. In order to avoid official suspicion and also because the second-in-command wanted to overthrow him, he took the opportunity to escape with his injuries, blending in with ordinary survivors, avoiding screening time and time again, and successfully hiding until now.
Now that the official forces have gone to other places, it is the best time for him to escape.
However, he had anticipated many situations and made sufficient preparations, but there was still a lack of transportation. The car they prepared was barely enough for daily driving.
But if they can't find a suitable shelter in broad daylight, the iron sheet of the car will become the crust of the oven, and if they are not careful, they may be roasted to death!
Talking about this incident, Yu Cong felt that God was helping him.
Every time he was in despair, he was always given a glimmer of hope.
This time, the chance of survival is this RV!
It is tall, spacious, and most importantly, it can still use air conditioning even under such scorching sun!
That woman probably has some organization behind her. Her situation might be similar to his. She has a lot of supplies. She might also be from the transport gang. They all like to collect jade.
The people in the Yun Gang are different from them. They are all very serious. They started out as businessmen before the natural disaster. They have connections in neighboring countries and are doing well in the jade business.
After the natural disaster, they immediately seized the opportunity to occupy a huge port, and used their boats to salvage a lot of fish and shrimp there. It was only when the extreme heat came that their lives became a little worse. They had been very carefree before, and naturally did not attack ordinary survivors. Therefore, this time the official took action and directly bypassed the transport gang.
But no matter who is behind this RV, since he has chosen it, this RV is his!
Yu Cong looked at the group of cowardly survivors and smiled gently: "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask about the situation of the RV. If you cooperate, I can not only return these supplies to you, but also give you double as a reward."
When these words were spoken, the trembling crowd was stunned.
Some people frowned instinctively, some hesitated subconsciously, and some people's eyes lit up...
——
Another wave of transactions.
Ji Yang looked at the sky.
It was already past six o'clock and the sun was beginning to rise.
She had slept for a long time at night, but she was not sleepy. In this case, she decided to hurry up and collect jade.
Ji Yang had breakfast first, took a short rest, and then went to move the stones. It would be better if they could come at night, so that she could collect them directly using the space. She was still too cautious.
But there's nothing wrong with that, don't worry.
The weight this time was not as much as last time. Ji Yang took an hour to slowly collect it, and the space was successfully expanded by 800 square meters!
So far, the scope of the sea area has reached 7,200 square meters. The water, which is obviously bluer than the pond, has begun to form waves with the wind and waves. The entire area also exposes about two or three meters of sandy beach depending on the height.
The largest beach exposed is five meters.
Fine sand is simply the best cat litter. Ji Yang even wanted to give some to Wangwang, and he must like it very much.
After the waves hit, the sand became wet, but it dried up after a while. After a while, another wave of waves hit over. Ji Yang came to the beach with an idea, and immediately smelled the salty smell of sea water.
But when she looked carefully, she still could not find any trace of any living creature in the sea.
You still have to go to the beach to collect them yourself.
We have to get there before the earthquake.
After his rebirth, Ji Yang imagined a series of situations in which terrible natural disasters could occur. A large-scale earthquake would cause extremely terrible consequences. In addition to the collapse of countless houses and the loss of life, such a large-scale movement of the ground would also cause many volcanoes to erupt.
There are too many volcanoes in the world, including submarine volcanoes, mountain volcanoes, and even some cities are near volcanoes. Once a volcano erupts, there will be a series of terrible consequences.
In the previous disasters, the ocean seemed to have survived to some extent thanks to its powerful regulatory ability. But if an earthquake caused underwater volcanoes to erupt one after another, would those marine creatures still be able to survive?
Ji Yang didn't dare to think about it. All she could do was collect more of these creatures. The official would definitely collect them, but the situation on her side was different, so the safety was still higher.
After refilling the RV's water tank, she started the car and headed towards a transfer station on the map that might have jade but she had never been to.
You also have to find a place that is far away from human habitation.
It is less likely to be visited by survivors, so more good things can be left behind.
However, the remaining transfer stations that had not been visited were a bit far away, so it took Ji Yang more than two hours to drive there and empty out all the jade inside. At most, he would go to a nearby mining area.
Almost all the items left in the mining area were of medium to lower quality. Because the natural disaster happened to be during the Chinese New Year, the slightly more expensive items were probably on sale before the New Year. Sure enough, after Ji Yang took a look around, most of the slightly better ones were taken away, and the price increased by only 100 square meters.
This increase of 100 square meters seems to be very difficult.
Then I had to go back.
Ji Yang was full of expectations. There were still 2,700 square meters left. She hoped that Cen Qiu and the others would work harder and try to get her done here!
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was not as strong as at noon, she returned to the place where she had made many transactions.
She came back so early because she was suspicious and worried that someone was lying in ambush here. Now the sun was shining brightly and there was no shelter nearby. The forests were dead and the movements inside could be seen at a glance. As long as there was no one lying in ambush nearby, she could easily deal with anything that happened.
The car stopped and Ji Yang returned to the carriage to rest.
After a busy day, the daily tasks in the space have not been completely completed.
After feeding the poultry and livestock, she had to collect eggs. In fact, when she saw the forest here, she had the idea of throwing some quails and roosters here, but she quickly rejected the idea. With such a high temperature, these little guys would probably be sunburned to death in less than three hours if they went out.
Let's wait until the extreme heat is over.
Ji Yang thought about it and found that there were more eggs!
Poultry reproduce so quickly that they can lay eggs in about two or three months. If the space environment is good, food is sufficient, and there is enough range for activities, the egg-laying frequency is astonishing!
Unfortunately, eggs are difficult to preserve, so they cannot be sold in large quantities and can only be stuffed into static space.
After finishing the work, it was exactly half past five. Ji Yang got up again, took a shower, and had dinner.
After driving for almost a whole day, she was very tired and didn't have much appetite, but she still ate half a bowl of fruit salad and a serving of cold noodles with shredded chicken. She put the cold noodles in the refrigerator for about ten minutes, and when she took them out, they were icy cold, sour and spicy and delicious.
It's still early. Cen Qiu's group usually act at night. Bringing the jade here will be a matter of the early morning, so they can take a nap first.
——
This time, Ji Yang was still woken up by Xixi.
But unlike other times, Xixi was obviously restless and yelled directly in her ear: "Woof woof woof!!!"
Ji Yang opened her eyes and her mind became clear instantly. When she put on her shoes, she saw Xixi was still anxious to get out with a fierce expression. She realized that the person was not friendly, so she quickly put on her bulletproof helmet and bulletproof vest, hung the shotgun in front of her chest, and prepared to throw grenades at any time.
Then the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.
It feels a bit staggering.
But there was only the movement of one person!
Ji Yang opened the car door and got out to see. She saw a familiar thin figure desperately running towards her. When approaching, Cen Qiu shouted, "Sister, you are being targeted by bad guys, run! They want to use us as bait to coax you——"
As she spoke, she fell directly onto the road. Her face was distorted with pain. She took a long breath before she said, "Run!"
"Woof!" Xixi called out to her twice, fully on guard.
Ji Yang also smelled blood.
She pursed her lips: "Raise your hands now!"
Cen Qiu turned over weakly and raised her hands. Ji Yang looked around and heard no other movement, so he quickly went over, a piece of rope appeared in his hand, quickly wrapped around her hands, and then lifted her up.
Cen Qiu was very thin and not heavy, so he was easily picked up.
A gun fell out of his pocket.
Cen Qiu's voice became weaker and weaker: "This is the one you dropped after killing someone that day. The bullets have been used up. We were caught by them on the way back. Those who refused to obey have been killed, and some who resisted a little were injured. The rest are all cooperative people.
I hid the gun in my pocket, and when I found the chance to kill you, I came to tip you off. Sister, run!"
Her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth when she mentioned that group of people. When she talked about her dead companions, she was filled with hatred and choked up, "You are a good person. They are all dead. I don't care about the rest, so you must stay alive!"
Ji Yang didn't say much. He checked her and confirmed that she had no other weapons. He immediately took her to the car. When he got into the car and turned on the lights, he saw that Cen Qiu had been shot in the side of the waist. No wonder there was a smell of blood.
"Xixi, pick up the gun!" Ji Yang shouted.
"Woof!" Xixi heard it and quickly got into the car with a gun in his mouth.
Ji Yang closed the car door and took out the medicine box. Cen Qiu barely opened his eyes and saw it. His tears flowed even more happily, but he still said, "Run quickly. If the truth is revealed, they will definitely bring people to catch up and attack you directly!"
"It's okay." Ji Yang said casually, took out the anesthetic, and said to Cen Qiu: "Thank you for telling me. Tell me if you have any other information. I will give you anesthesia after that."
Cen Qiu:?
She was sweating in anxiety, and as she got anxious, blood spurted out from the wound on her waist: "The most important thing now is that they will catch up with us soon! They have a lot of people and a lot of weapons!"
"It's okay, it's not fatal!"
Seeing this, Ji Yang knew that she had said everything she could say, so he simply stabbed her with a needle.
The dosage of this anesthetic is relatively small. Cen Qiu struggled for a bit, but after about ten seconds, she still couldn't bear it and closed her eyes. Ji Yang was already treating the wound. Under limited conditions, he first rinsed it with alcohol, then disinfected it, cut open the wound to remove the bullet, and finally applied medicine and bandaged it.
There is no time for stitching.
She didn't care about the blood flowing on the ground. After she was done, she sent the person to the bathroom and locked him up.
She had done everything she could, and the rest depended on Cen Qiu's desire to survive.
And now...
The enemy is coming.
He didn't chase after Cen Qiu immediately, obviously he needed to make some preparations.
The opponent's original plan failed, and if he wanted to fight head-on without warning, he couldn't just rush over. He must be fully prepared in terms of weapons. Moreover, she had a car, and the opponent must also have a car. Otherwise, once she drove, he would just run away and she would be chasing nothing.
This also gave Ji Yang the opportunity to treat Cen Qiu's wound.
At the same time, before hearing the noise outside again, Xixi had already given an advance warning. Ji Yang quickly wiped her hands, went to the back of the car, opened the rear glass window, and immediately a rocket launcher larger than the one she had carried on her shoulder before appeared in front of her.
Aim forward and look through the scope at the enemy that is about to appear.
In almost two breaths, the other person appeared in her sight.
Ji Yang did not act immediately, but waited for two seconds. After determining the approximate position of the enemy, he immediately aimed at the center of the crowd and fired.
——
At this time, Yu Cong's face was not very good. In the process of planning how to gain the trust of the RV owner, an important link was the little girl.
At first, the girl was quite cooperative, so they relaxed their guard a little.
They were wrong.
Even if you envy and hate others for having a good life, some people can still stay true to themselves.
He didn't expect it at the time. He thought that killing a few disobedient people and injuring a few dishonest people would make this group of people behave themselves. However, he didn't expect that all their companions were in his hands, and this dead girl could still find a loophole to escape. When she was escaping, she was discovered by him and she actually shot him!
Probably no one expected that such a little kid had a gun, and because of the lack of careful inspection, Cen Qiu's shooting skills were not accurate, and he accidentally injured his already injured right hand even more. This also delayed her and allowed her to escape.
The little girl was familiar with the terrain here, and she was so small that she disappeared in the blink of an eye in the middle of the night.
Since they couldn't find it, they didn't waste time. They were afraid of missing it and losing the opportunity by being tipped off by that girl, so they just took action directly.
This is how the situation is today.
I wanted to fight without losing a single soldier, but I didn't expect that we would end up with guns flying.
Soon Yu Cong also saw the car parked there.
His face lit up with joy, thinking that the girl's legs were injured, and she might have died on the way, without having time to inform others. He immediately became alert and ordered several people to approach her in a low-key manner, preferably to surround her.
What he wanted was a motorhome, and unless the worst happened, he still hoped that the motorhome would be in good condition.
Otherwise...what's the point of his trip?
But before he could give the order, he heard a bang in the front. Yu Cong instinctively felt that something was wrong, but before he could say anything, a black shadow came towards him.
Before Yu Cong could even react to the noise, the thing had already landed on the car in front.
Then there was a flash of fire and a huge explosion, and he seemed to have lost his hearing!
This was followed by several more explosions.
The terrifying firepower caused him to become rigid. He had no intention of escaping. At that moment, he seemed to smell a strong smell of gunpowder and... the smell of his flesh being instantly burnt by the high temperature of the explosion.
How could she have such a powerful weapon in her hand!
Almost instantly, after the explosion, several cars in the front and back were all affected, flying and exploding, shattered into pieces, blood, burnt smell, and pungent smell of gunpowder swept the area, and not a single scream was heard.
"6!" Ji Yang was also shocked by the power of the big guy in his hand.
This thing was brought from the Giant Sun Base, but it didn't come with an instruction manual, so she didn't know how powerful it was. For this reason, she waited for a while and confirmed the approximate center of the team before launching it.
Unexpectedly...
If it was a little closer, she herself might be affected!
The bombing range is about twenty meters!
Awesome!
Ji Yang looked at the rocket launcher, touched it with praise, then put it away and replaced it with a shotgun. The explosion was about a hundred meters away from her, within the range of the shotgun. She found this thing useful after using it once.
Although it is a bit big, its sweeping range is wide and you don't need to aim deliberately.
It is most suitable when the visibility is poor.
He took out the shotgun and immediately fired a burst of shots at the explosion and burning area in the distance. "Bang, bang, bang!" A few wailing sounds could be heard faintly in the gunfire, but they quickly disappeared.
After using up all the bullets, Ji Yang closed the window again and did not go out immediately.
Her car has been modified so it cannot be damaged by ordinary bullets. It will be damaged by grenades, but she just fired a shell at it. If there was a grenade, it would have exploded long ago. The only things that could survive are some guns. So there is no need to worry and just hold on.
At worst, she could just buy another RV.
At the beginning, she bought two RVs.
The fire outside was still burning, and occasional slight noises could be heard. Ji Yang drove the car a little further away and opened the bathroom door. Cen Qiu was still sleeping. She carried her to the sofa and saw that her clothes were dirty, so she changed her clothes.
Ji Yang’s kindness ended there. She didn’t do anything extra. She asked Xixi to keep an eye on her while she went to rest.
*
I slept until dawn the next day.
The dazzling sunlight shone in through the window where she forgot to draw the curtains, causing the temperature in the car to rise a little. Since there were outsiders around, Ji Yang did not take out ice cubes to cool down the car, so she was woken up by the heat.
She quickly pulled the heavy curtains, glanced at Cen Qiu who was still sleeping, and took out a glass of watermelon juice where she couldn't see.
The coolness spread from inside to outside. Ji Yang felt comfortable, so he washed up and had breakfast.
Let Xixi have breakfast in the rest area and take a rest.
She took a cup of ice soy milk and two meat buns to eat near Cen Qiu. While eating, she felt Cen Qiu move. She raised her eyebrows and looked over, and saw that the child's eyes were closed, but his eyeballs kept moving under his eyelids.
"Awake?" Ji Yang asked.
Cen Qiu then awkwardly opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but the slightest movement caused the wound on her waist to hurt badly. She was already thin and sallow, and now she looked even paler than before. Needless to say, even with the curtains, she could tell that it was already bright outside, which meant that at least a few hours had passed, and it was impossible for that group of people not to take action.
She spoke, her hoarse voice barely enough to speak: "Sister, are you, are you okay?"
Ji Yang nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, all the people who attacked me yesterday are dead."
Even if the shotgun fire later was not enough, he would die of thirst after such a long time. When the sun was shining, he would die of heat stroke. He would not survive anyway.
"Hiss——" Cen Qiu gasped, shocked and in awe: "They are all dead! There are so many of them!"
Ji Yang smiled.
In the face of absolute force, numbers are useless.
Otherwise, why did the term "nuclear peace" come into being?
Of course, they are far from reaching that level, so they can only do small things.
The two parties were not familiar with each other, and Cen Qiu did not dare to ask more questions. Seeing that Ji Yang did not say much, she quickly shut up. Ji Yang had just finished eating, so he turned around and took two buns and a cup of soy milk from the microwave and put them on the table in front of her: "Here you go."
"Mine?" Cen Qiu was flattered. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she sat up. Then she realized that she had changed her clothes. The white short-sleeved shirt and shorts were so clean that she couldn't hope for them. The only regret was that she was too dirty and had stained her clothes.
There were still blood stains on the sofa beneath him.
Cen Qiu wiped it subconsciously out of embarrassment, then stole a glance at Ji Yang's reaction, and saw that she looked calm and handed him a few wet wipes. He suddenly realized that there was no need to do this, since she had let him lie here, so she must not mind.
She took the wet wipes and wiped herself carefully. After the anesthetic wore off, the place where she was shot hurt a lot, but it was a blessing in disguise that her internal organs were not injured. Now she was saved and should be able to survive.
She was very thirsty, so she carefully held the soy milk cup and took a sip. The icy-cold soy milk poured into her throat and instantly soothed her sore throat. Then she took a bite of the soft and sweet meat bun. Cen Qiu felt a little dazed. Was she dreaming?
But the pain in her waist also clearly told her that this was not a dream!
She thought she was dead, but now it seems that she has turned a disaster into a blessing!
Cen Qiu ate with big mouthfuls, and her mind became clearer. After she finished, she looked at Ji Yang, who had been silent, and said with a hint of desire: "I, I know where that group of people have hidden a lot of supplies. I tell you, can you please save the others too!!!"
A place to hide supplies?!
Without even thinking about it, Ji Yang nodded: "Okay, the deal is done!"
