Chapter 159: Extreme Cold. Interrogation
Chen Xun used a cutter to cut down the corn stalks, Chu An broke the cobs and threw them all into the furrows, Ji Feng and Xiao Chi picked up the cobs and threw them into the basket.
Xiaochi is Shen Xun's new dog, a Labrador, who is very smart and docile, and also Jifeng's good friend.
Chu An was immersed in the joy of the harvest when he was shaken awake by Gu Ye. He blinked his eyes, but the ceiling was not his own. Gu Ye's big face was sticking diagonally above him.
"Chu An, the captain wants to treat you to a meal, it's almost time."
It must be about yesterday. "What time is it?"
"Half past ten." Seeing that she woke up, Gu Ye went to the stove and poured her a glass of water.
She paused for three seconds. She didn't expect to sleep for 7 hours, which was longer than her usual sleep time, and she slept in someone else's house. It was probably because she consumed her mental energy yesterday, and the space replenished it for her.
Chu An simply washed his face and met Zhuona who had returned when he went out. She was afraid that they didn't know the way, so she came to ask them to go eat.
The two immediately followed her and saw four corpses covered with white cloth in the yard. Next to them were family members burning homemade paper money and crying sadly and depressedly.
Zhuona said that these four people were guarding the gate that night and were killed when the villains rushed in. The others were taken care of by Doctor Zhao and had enough medicine, so they all survived.
District 7 rescued the clinic on the third floor of the activity room during the rainstorm and saved a lot of medicines, some of which were also found during the previous search for supplies.
Doctor Zhao is an emergency doctor at the municipal hospital. Dealing with trauma is a common occurrence for him. However, he is a little too busy to handle it all by himself, so he grabbed little girls like Zhuona and Gao Yuting to serve as temporary "nurses" early the next morning.
However, after this battle, District 7 also made some gains. The people who came to make trouble every day turned around and ran away when they saw them carrying out the bodies. They probably won't dare to come again. All the snowmobiles of the villains were confiscated, and some of them had already ridden them out to do other things.
"Where is the man we captured?" Chu An was still concerned about something else. He wanted to know why the prince's organization had suddenly grown so large. "Did you find out anything?"
"I haven't asked yet. The captain said to starve him for two days first, and then ask him when he is too hungry to bear it anymore."
Liu Chuan is really a smart guy.
The three people came to the 6th floor of Building 6. The four families on this floor were gone. Their houses were used as storage rooms, offices and canteens by Liu Chuan.
Today we entertained Chu An in the living room of 602. There were two stoves in the room and the temperature was around 15C.
There was a large round table in the middle of the living room. Many people gathered around the table to pack lunch boxes, which included whole-grain rice, canned fish, dried tofu rolls, stewed radish and pickles, probably for the wounded.
She had probably seen them all: Zhang Min, Zhang Hao and his female companion, and Xiaodong.
There were quite a few people in the kitchen. The moment I drew aside the curtain, I saw Zhuo's mother, Sister Hu, Xiaodong's mother and two other sisters I didn't know, busying themselves inside and outside.
Sister Hu just came out of the kitchen carrying a rice bowl. She saw the three of them first and immediately smiled with her eyes curved. "Oh, our lucky star is here."
Chu An pushed Gu Ye forward, and Gu Ye smiled awkwardly, "Hehe... Good morning, Aunt Hu."
"What do you mean early? It's already noon." Zhuo's mother also came out of the kitchen and pointed at the small square table in the bedroom and pretended to be angry and said, "You must be starving. You two should sit over there. I'll bring out the food in a while."
Chu An originally thought it was a dinner party like before the end of the world, but she didn't expect it was just food to fill her stomach. She was overthinking.
The three of them sat down obediently. A few minutes later, Mother Zhuo brought over a bowl of mixed grain rice, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, and the remaining two dishes were the same as those for the wounded.
It seems that the scrambled eggs with leeks were made specially for the two of them.
Gu Ye had only eaten a bag of biscuits with boiled water in the morning, and he had been hungry for a long time. He hurriedly served the two girls food, and finally served himself, and drank it all in big mouthfuls.
Zhuona was also very excited about these dishes. She first picked up an egg with chopsticks for Chu An and said, "Eat it. Eat more."
Chu An only ate half a bowl of rice and was ready to give the rest to Gu Ye. She ate the oily part and asked Gu Ye if he wanted the untouched half.
want.
She poured the rice into Gu Ye's bowl, put down her chopsticks, and watched the two of them eat.
She was not a squeamish person. She had even eaten maggots in her previous life. As long as she could fill her stomach, it didn't matter what the food was. But her appetite had been fluctuating recently and she didn't know why.
Gu Ye didn't dislike it at all and finished it in two bites. Zhuona ate a bowl and a half, and the rest went into his stomach.
"If it's not enough, there's more." Zhuo's mother said with a smile, "You're welcome."
"That's enough. I'm already full." Gu Ye swallowed the last bite of rice. "I just don't want to waste it."
Mother Zhuo felt so distressed because these children had all suffered in the apocalypse.
After dinner, Chu An and Gu Ye went back to rest, while Zhuona continued to help in the activity room. The bodies in the yard had been moved away, and the bloodstains were covered by the newly fallen snow. It seemed that the thrilling events of last night did not exist at all, and people continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Gu Ye asked, "Shall we leave today?"
According to the original plan, the two of them should set off back to Qingrun Apartment today, but the affairs of this group of villains always made her feel uneasy, and she wanted to know something about the prince from Gao Yuan.
If there is any danger, it must be nipped in the bud. In the end, the two decided to stay for another day and wait for the results of the interrogation. Gu Ye had nothing to do, so he also went to the activity room to help.
Chu An inspected Zhuo's house and found that there were no major safety hazards, the warming measures were well done, and there was community protection, so there should be no problem in the future.
Alas, given her relationship with Liu Lao Hu, Zhuo's mother and Zhuo Na probably won't go back to Qingrun Apartment with her.
Chu An took out 50 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, 100 eggs, 50 kilograms of frozen meat, 50 kilograms of frozen fish, 50 kilograms of dry goods, and two large plastic bags of candies, chocolates, biscuits and other snacks.
10 bottles/bags of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, 10 bottles of multivitamin and mineral tablets, and five boxes of household medicines.
This already exceeds the capacity of the suitcase, but once they leave, without any actual reference for comparison, they can get away with it.
She hid the things in a closet that Zhuona and her daughter rarely used, and left a note, "If you have any trouble, come to Qingrun Apartment to find us."
Just stay here for now and tell Zhuona when we leave.
In the afternoon, Zhuo's mother came back to change clothes. She also asked about Liu Lao Hu's injuries. He had woken up. The knife wound looked serious, but there were no injuries to his vital parts. He just needed to rest.
As Zhuo's mother spoke, her brows relaxed, and she was truly relieved.
"Aunt Zhuo, when is the captain going to interrogate the traitor? I want to go and listen, too."
Zhuo's mother was surprised, "What are you doing listening to this, little girl?"
Chu An explained, "I'm afraid they have accomplices. When I get back, I have to tell the people in our community to be on guard."
"That's true, but Xiao An, Auntie was just about to talk to you about this. The captain said that you can stay here, so you don't have to go back."
Staying here is equivalent to joining District 7. She didn't want to join any team, so she thought of a reliable reason. "Aunt Zhuo, there are very few people in our community who can unite. If Gu Ye and I leave, there will only be 4 people left there."
"Indeed, but we can't let them all come."
"Aunt Zhuo, I will come to see you often in the future."
"Well, I'll tell the captain." Mother Zhuo was a little disappointed. "Hey, his hand injury is also very serious. If he's not treated properly, he might be disabled. I'll ask them when to interrogate Gao Yuan later."
