Chapter 100 Tornado. Cannery Raid
During the preparation days, no one was arranged to stand guard during the day, and the people downstairs immediately came up to test.
Li Rong and Tang Xiao would swing the mop pole whenever they saw someone. There was no point in reasoning now. The people downstairs had to know that they were just not on guard, but that didn't mean no one in the house could do whatever they wanted.
To be on the safe side, everyone sneaked out in groups on the day of the operation.
They gathered nearby and paddled one kilometer before starting the motor.
Chu An took out a high-power hand-cranked flashlight from his Little Bee schoolbag. It could illuminate 800 meters and was very bright when tied to the bow of the boat.
When it runs out of power, just shake it to charge it. Even if the battery is broken, it will still light up as long as you keep shaking it.
Two hours later, the sky turned pale and they finally saw the imported supermarket that Tang Xiao had mentioned.
The supermarket was not two-story, but three-story. The water reached the bottom of the windows on the third floor, and most of the things inside were unusable.
After discussing it, a few people decided to go to the cannery of Yin Tianlin’s friend first.
The further the speedboat went into the suburbs, the fewer landmark buildings there were to refer to, and in the end we had to rely on navigation to continue.
About half an hour later, the water level dropped sharply to only the calf level. Everyone had to get off the boat, collect the speedboat and rubber boat, and have the man carry them on his back.
The few people waded through the water for more than twenty minutes and saw the sign of a certain Food Co., Ltd. The fatigue on their faces finally disappeared.
Li Rong and Tang Xiao first walked around and after confirming that there was no one else, they jumped in from the lift door and took the speedboat and other people over one by one.
As everyone waded past the administrative building, garbage began to accumulate on the water, including colorful packaging bags and discarded materials, as well as some clothes.
"ah--"
Following Huo Sisi's scream, everyone stopped and looked at the corner.
A pair of feet without shoes and socks suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Li Rong walked forward tentatively, followed closely by Tang Xiao, while the others stood still.
Chu An guessed that the body was either a security guard or a night watchman, but it felt a bit depressing that he died in a cannery.
She took advantage of this break to look around. There was only an administrative building in the front yard of the factory, and four independent production workshops in the backyard, each of which was about 1,000 square meters.
They will definitely act separately later. Yin Tianlin will choose to be in a group with Huo Sisi and Li Rong, and the rest will be Tang Xiao, Luoyang and her.
"He was a security guard at the factory. He seemed to have been murdered. There was a knife stuck in his chest."
"It must have floated over from the mail room before the water level receded. There was a body in the mail room."
The two came back quickly and told each other about the current situation.
Luoyang was surprised. "How could this happen? Who would come here to kill people in the rain? Has social order really been destroyed?"
After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Chu An, feeling that he had said something wrong.
"Qingrun Apartment is relatively good. In other communities, there is looting, burning, and raping of women. The military and police can't handle it." Tang Xiao comforted him, "Don't worry, at least we can still have enough to eat now."
Huo Sisi also knows a lot about the outside world from her childhood friend. "Many police officers and government staff have left the team or resigned. They choose to go home to take care of their families, so there are not so many people to maintain law and order."
Yin Tianlin teased, "Don't talk about others, aren't we thieves now?"
Well said, but next time try not to talk.
Under Yin Tianlin's teasing, everyone divided into two teams according to Chu An's idea. Yin Tianlin led the team to search production rooms No. 1 and No. 2, and Tang Xiao led the team to search No. 3 and No. 4.
Chu An followed Tang Xiao into assembly line 3 first. There were no items on the assembly line. Tang Xiao observed for a while and said that it was producing canned food.
The three men went straight to the warehouse, which had a stainless steel security door. Tang Xiao took a fire axe from a nearby fire rack and unlocked the lock in two or three moves.
The warehouse was not flooded, and the three people opened the door and immediately closed it to prevent water from entering.
The power outage here was obviously earlier. The things in the material room were already smelly, so several people covered their noses and moved to the finished product room.
The finished product room is about 300 square meters and is a relatively regular rectangular space with four rows of shelves extending to the innermost part, all of which are fully stocked.
The finished products are all packed in cardboard boxes, which are surrounded by wooden crates, so it is a bit troublesome to unpack them.
The three of them walked in separately. Chu An estimated that there were about 720 boxes in four rows, thirty lines and six layers.
There are many varieties, including herring, sardines, croaker, salmon, salmon, small yellow croaker, hairtail, bone-flavored chicken, pheasant, chicken and seafood, original chicken, braised beef, curry beef, wild boar meat, Dongpo pork elbow, tendon, and luncheon meat.
Tang Xiao picked up a can and frowned, saying, "They are all imitations of other brands of cans. I'm afraid that the business of Yin Shao's friend..."
He didn't say anything more, everyone knew what he meant. But as long as the item wasn't broken, it didn't matter whether it was a replica or not.
"Why don't we just carry the boxes back?" Luoyang suggested, thinking his bag was too small. "That would save a lot of trouble."
"No, it's too eye-catching." Chu An immediately objected, "If there are not enough bags, they have snakeskin bags here."
"I also think it's better to unpack them. There is anti-collision foam in the box, which takes up space." Tang Xiao found a few snakeskin bags as Chu An said and gave three to each person.
After a quick inspection, there was nothing special, so Tang Xiao and Luoyang returned to the door to unpack the boxes, which was more convenient.
"Chu An, don't unpack the boxes. I'll split them into several and you just come over to install them." As soon as Tang Xiao finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of wooden boards breaking from inside, which seemed redundant again.
"The flavors I like are at the back." Chu An responded from the innermost part. She just wanted to avoid their sight and add more decoration to the space.
Well, they are all installed for the big dog at home.
"Okay, then we'll go help you after we're done installing it."
“…” Not necessary, I still have to thank him for his kindness.
Tang Xiao and Luoyang packed very quickly, and together with the snakeskin bags they packed 8 boxes, without taking even a single drop with them.
Chu An was different. He took a corner of each box, took away the cans inside, and kept the box. Even if it was discovered, it could be said that it was an empty shell.
Supplies are something that no one else can match. At the critical moment, she can choose to give them to others, but others will definitely not give them to her.
"Xiao An, let's go to the next warehouse and call you if we find anything." Tang said with a smile.
"good."
After Tang Xiao and Luo Yang left, Chu An became even more unscrupulous. She walked to the last ten rows and collected 240 boxes in a row, 24 cans in each box. Adding the ones she had thrown into the space before, the total number was about 1,000 cans.
Even so, they didn't even take half, so the rest will be left to others.
She filled the Little Bee backpack and dragged it to the door. Tang Xiao also came back and said there were drinks next to her.
Chu An followed him over. There were ten boxes of functional drinks ready to be taken away at the door.
She walked around inside and found about twenty boxes of white snake grass water in the most inconspicuous corner. This water can quench thirst and relieve summer heat, and has the effect of sterilization and disinfection. It can be used in extremely hot periods, so she quickly collected it.
After a while, Yin Tianlin also came over. What they found there were puffed foods, Internet celebrity snacks, dried fruits, and raw pickled shrimps and crabs.
The raw marinated shrimps and crabs had gone bad because of the power outage. They picked some snacks that didn't take up much space and packed them into eight snakeskin bags.
Boneless chicken feet, crispy cakes, purple candy, macarons, egg yolk pastries, seaweed sandwiches, pork buns, lollipops, Euryale glutinosa cakes, various preserved fruits, stone steamed buns, nougat, sea salt biscuits, and the internet-famous spicy strips hand-picked by Huo Sisi.
After a discussion, several people decided to take more canned food. Tang Xiao took them back to Warehouse No. 3 and filled ten more bags, about thirty boxes. There was a cart in the production room, so they could take them all away.
When everyone was walking back, they found a dozen people standing behind the bushes, just staring at them with no intention of attacking.
After they had loaded the rubber boat and boarded the speedboat, they all turned around and ran towards the cannery.
Luoyang looked at the two rubber boats full of supplies and said excitedly, "How about we come back in a few days? We only got less than one tenth of what we got. What a pity."
No one else said anything. After driving for a distance, Tang smiled and said, "There shouldn't be much left in the factory. Those people probably didn't dare to go there before."
The world has changed, and it’s hard to say who is a good person and who is a bad person.
