Chapter 145 Extreme Cold. The person I love most is you
Chu An looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a tiger-skin hat and scarf, a long mink coat, and a bag on her wrist.
The woman didn't wear goggles, her eyes were dull, and a cold voice came from her scarf, "You will be condemned by God, God will punish you."
"Shut up." The middle-aged man said harshly, "People like you deserve to die."
"What's wrong with us? We haven't broken any law." Someone gritted his teeth and said, "We just want to live. Is that wrong?"
"You want to live, so others don't want to live?"
Suddenly, a deep middle-aged male voice came from the wire mesh, and everyone's attention was immediately attracted, including Chu An and Gu Ye.
The man was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had a sturdy build. He wore a hooded windbreaker inside and a military coat outside. He walked steadily and had a burning look in his eyes.
Behind the man were a group of followers, and the weapons in their hands were no longer homemade maces, sticks, or kitchen knives, but real military bayonets, electric batons, and crossbows.
At the same time, the doors of units in the community opened one after another, and many people came out.
They were wrapped in their coats, their shoulders hunched, and they didn't dare to walk towards the iron gate. They stood at the door and watched.
"Captain Liu." The young man guarding the gate greeted the visitor hastily when he saw him, his voice full of joy.
Captain Liu pressed his hand against him and continued to speak seriously to the people outside, "It's not that we didn't give you a chance, it's that you didn't cherish it. In this environment, we can only protect ourselves."
The people outside seemed to be afraid of him and kept silent.
Captain Liu looked around and said to the people behind him, "Go check in each building to see if they have anything left in the community. If so, take it out for them."
The person behind him agreed and did it immediately.
"I don't want anything. My home is right here. I want to go home." A woman who was peeling the barbed wire suddenly got excited and said to the door of Building 5, "Zhang Hao, I'm Mi'er. I'm not going to look for my senior brother anymore. Please let me go back. I'm not going anywhere."
A thin boy stood at the door of Building 5, silently turning his head away. He didn't want to be a spare tire anymore, or a spare tire outside the margins. The natural disaster taught him to give up unrealistic fantasies.
There was a girl standing next to the boy, pulling him into the building.
"Don't go, please Zhang Hao, I love you, I finally know that the person I love the most is you."
Zhang Hao suddenly stopped, his shoulders trembling slightly. The girl was so angry that she shook off his hand, ran over a few steps, and shouted at the wire fence, "You killed Xiaona, and almost killed Zhang Hao. What right do you have to say you love me? You are not qualified to love."
After venting her anger, the girl ignored Zhang Hao and ran back to the building alone. Zhang Hao glanced at the wire fence and followed her in.
Captain Liu ignored this incident and continued to say to the people outside: "No matter how many times you make trouble, I will not let you in. Instead of wasting time with us, you should think about how to survive. It's getting dark, you should go back."
"We know we are wrong, please let us in." An old lady led her child and cried bitterly, "I am old, and I will die if I die, but the child is still young."
The child, who looked to be about seven or eight years old, stuck close to the old lady and shouted viciously at Captain Liu, "I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death."
The old lady immediately covered the child's mouth and said, "Xiaobao, stop talking nonsense and apologize to Uncle Tiger."
The middle-aged man guarding the gate snorted, "Auntie Wang, our temple is too small to accommodate you two. You should go find your billionaire son as soon as possible."
Aunt Wang refused to give up and shook the wire fence in a final effort. "Lao Hu, I watched you and Weimin grow up. You don't care about the monks, you care about the Buddhas. Can you bear to see Weimin's child starving outside?"
Liu Lao Hu gritted his teeth and didn't respond. Instead, he whispered a few words to the people around him.
The young man who took over the gate guarding position this time was indignant. "When you ordered others to kill Captain Liu, did you consider your son's feelings? Now you are playing the victim. No."
Seeing that they were not listening, Auntie Wang changed her aggrieved expression and cursed, "Liu Lao Hu, you are a beast born by a mother but not raised by her. I curse you to choke to death when you drink water or eat."
The little boy picked up a hard object from the ground and threw it inside, "Go to hell."
His strength was too weak, so he didn't throw it far, but it set a precedent, and others also picked up icicles and threw them in. Even if they were hungry, they were still as strong as adults, and it hurt a lot when they were hit.
Some people took advantage of the gaps when the team members dodged to shake the wire mesh vigorously. The wire mesh had no stakes driven into the ground, and was supported entirely by wooden sticks stuck in the snow. It could not withstand the shoves of more than a dozen people, and was tilting inwards.
At this moment, someone ran out holding a table board, and five people followed behind him, some holding square table boards, some holding round table boards, and some holding spliced boards.
Six people pressed against the wire fence to reinforce the fence. Others began to fight back, stabbing out with electric batons.
By this time, Chu An had a general understanding. Some of these people were original residents of Block 7 who had committed evil and had been exiled. Some of them came to seek refuge with their relatives but were not accepted. This situation was also very normal. With so many refugees outside, it was difficult to have a standard for who to save and who not to save. It was better to be a one-size-fits-all approach and save no one.
Suddenly, she frowned.
The old man who spoke first took out a long knife from his arms and stabbed it into the gap between the table boards.
“Swoosh—”
The old man's ferocious face twisted in pain for a moment. His shoulder holding the knife was pierced by a blue arrow feather. The knife fell to the ground and he was knocked down by inertia.
"Old man, oh no, someone's been killed, someone's been killed." The old man's wife rushed to his side, shouting in panic.
The others were also frightened by the arrow and fled. The old lady cried for a while, and when she saw that no one cared about her, she also dragged the old man away.
After a while, there were only four or five people left outside.
Chu An's gaze moved to the upper right. At the top-floor window of Building 3, a short-haired woman holding a bow and arrow nocked a new feather arrow and searched for a target in the crowd.
At this time, she and Gu Ye had retreated to the opposite side more than ten meters away, completely away from the rioting group, but not away from the seventh district.
"Where did the arrow come from?" Gu Ye was shocked and took a wrong step forward, completely blocking Chu An. His eyes searched between the floors. When he saw the short-haired woman, he also became a target.
Gu Ye's breathing stopped instantly. He had no time to think. He turned around and pounced on Chu An. If he had been in time, both of them could have survived. But it seemed too late... He heard the buzzing sound of the arrows wrapped in wind and snow, and his heart was filled with sourness.
I can’t bear to let go. I really can’t bear to let go.
“Pah—”
With a crisp sound, the feather arrow broke into two pieces 20 centimeters behind Gu Ye and shot obliquely to both sides.
His pupils trembled, and the joy of surviving the disaster did not go to his head. He immediately turned sideways and hugged Chu An tightly. This would not only broaden the vision of both of them, but also allow them to be ready to deal with the next crisis at any time.
"The arrow is broken." His voice still trembled after surviving a catastrophe. "Maybe... the quality is too low."
"Yeah, that's too bad." After Chu An finished praising him, his eyes instantly turned cold and he looked directly at the short-haired woman.
The short-haired woman didn't know why her arrow broke, and she slapped the window frame in frustration. She had just observed for a long time, and only these two people had been wandering around the periphery, and they were probably the instigators.
Thinking of this, he built another one.
