Chapter 179 Extreme Cold. Government Intervention
Ouyang returned home, feeling completely hopeless and no longer wanting to be the building manager.
He regretted leaving the 11th floor very much. Not everyone can be a teammate. He understood more deeply the saying: Mud cannot be helped by a wall.
Thinking about the intrigues with Liu Cheng a few days ago, it was simply ridiculous. Thinking of Liu Cheng, I suddenly thought of Li Yan.
Oops, how could I forget there was someone else.
He hurriedly asked Luoyang to go and see how the person was. Luoyang came back and said that the person was dead. Fortunately, the temperature was low now and there was no smell.
Luoyang called Snow and took advantage of the moonlight to throw the body into the unfinished building.
On the way back, Luoyang felt some movement around him, and hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Li Yan, if you have any complaints, go find Liu Cheng. Your death has nothing to do with us. There are no taboos, no taboos."
Snow was also a little nervous and muttered a few words along with him.
The people who came to investigate that day had a fever when they returned, and they kept saying that the people in Qingrun Apartment had caused the ghosts to come and take their lives. They also said that they killed people without blinking an eye and dumped the bodies secretly at night.
The leader asked someone to confirm again that there was indeed a body on the roadside.
"Boss Jiang, let's be careful."
"Yes, there are many sects now. Some worship the sky, some worship the earth, and some worship ghosts and gods. They are all very weird."
"I heard that Xingcheng International has never dared to rob. The third brother only asked for five kilograms, and when he went back to weigh it, he found that half a kilogram was missing. There must be something wrong with that apartment. Maybe it's a haunted building, and the half kilogram was made up of Yin rice."
Qingrun Apartment is known as a haunted building. All we know is that the group of people did not come the next day.
After this, all forces that want to take over Qingrun Apartment should think twice. Xingcheng International and Boss Jiang failed. Is there something fishy going on?
A few days later, rumors spread about Qingrun Apartment in West City. There was a witch in the building, and she would sacrifice people every day. There were not enough people in the building, so she would invite anyone who came to go up, and everyone who left would die.
Chu An was the last one to know about the rumor, which might have been caused by the corpse dumping and the empty city plan, so it could be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, there were some who didn't believe in it, most of them were hungry people. There were not many of them, basically five or six of them attacked together, but it was not easy to climb up.
After the last incident, the people in Building A became inexplicably united. Even if someone climbed to the eighth floor, they would be pushed down with a stick by the guards on duty. No one disobeyed the arrangements, and no one talked about retreating.
After all, the building committee said they really didn't care whether they lived or died.
It’s the end of the world, and no one has the right to be willful.
Ouyang rested for a week and calmed down. First of all, he thanked Yin Tianlin for taking care of the building during the days when he was messing around, and then he made new building rules. If there were people who stole food, everyone had to go out, even if they had to take a needle.
The villains were all shocked by the momentum of Building A. Only once did the two sides fight with real swords and guns. Everyone in Building A left, including Chu An.
Thanks to Chuan's experimental cotton needles, less than ten people were slightly injured in the battle. After this battle, the confidence of the people in the building increased, and even Ouyang was confident in what he said.
After that, no one dared to come anymore, not because they were afraid of Qingrun Apartment, but because the person who had truly guarded Qingrun Apartment for half a year finally showed up - Li Qing.
People nicknamed him Tieguai Li.
His standard equipment is a snake-head cane + a baby, which is the most fragile combination, but no one dares to get close to him.
Behind him are twenty loyal brothers and hundreds of younger followers.
As for Star City International, which has worried everyone from the beginning, it is not an organization, but a cover put up by the Star City International community for self-protection.
The beauty that Li Yan mentioned is the woman of Li Qing’s first boss in South City, and also the female owner of the auto repair shop next to Gangzi - Gao Dajiao.
She and several brothers left behind by the short-lived man went to Xingcheng International Community and spent two months slowly eliminating the villains in the community.
Those people hanging around were her scouts, and those who tried to stop her from getting into trouble were truly robbers.
When she saw Liu Cheng, she knew at a glance that this man had evil intentions and did not give him a good look. However, she wanted to find out if there were any people from the Qing Gang in Qingrun Apartment, so she let the man go and threatened him to investigate the matter thoroughly within three days.
As for the rice that was delivered to the door, everyone wanted it for free, but there were only more than 20 kilograms, and the rest was withheld by Liu Cheng and Li Yan.
Liu Cheng might have thought that she had a conflict with some people in the building, so he came back and made up a story in order to make some money and run away, which led to so many things later.
Li Qing asked Langtou to tell Chu An these words and let her live in Qingrun Apartment with peace of mind.
At this point, the rumors about the witch were self-defeating, but new rumors were born.
Rumor has it that Building A of Qingrun Apartment contains enough supplies to feed the entire building for twenty years, and Li Qing was able to regroup overnight thanks to the power of Qingrun Apartment.
As long as he can take over Qingrun Apartment, he will never have to worry about food and drink in his life, and he can even become a local emperor.
Many people who were not afraid of death were eager to try, but the armed police came.
Qingrun Apartment is really lucky.
Starting from December 20th, armed police wearing cold-proof combat uniforms and trained joint defense team members began to appear outside.
The armed police mainly cracked down on street robbers and small gangs of dozens of people. Boss Jiang and the third brother were both sent to dig coal.
The joint defense team members went through the streets and alleys to register the survivors' information, conducting the first census after the apocalypse.
In addition to registering basic information, education, professional resume, migration, marriage and childbearing, one must also provide detailed information about one's specialties or areas of expertise. Those who have completed the registration will receive a card printed with the words "unity" and "hope".
Re-convey the government notice:
1. Starting from January 2051, the government will distribute supplies per capita on the 15th of every month. Each building will elect a person to receive the supplies and collect them at the government-designated location.
Second, the shelter in city C is ready to take in refugees. Homeless people can live in the shelter with their registration cards. The shelter distributes food once a day. If it is not enough, you can choose to work for the shelter and exchange your labor for points, which can be exchanged for food and daily necessities.
3. The shelter has opened a registration service for finding relatives, and everyone can register.
It’s a good thing that the government is distributing supplies, but the journey to get them is a bit dangerous. Building A holds meetings every day to discuss who will be assigned to collect the supplies and whether the supplies will be distributed all at once or daily.
Gu Ye often went to listen, sometimes bringing a thermos cup and drinking while listening.
After a week of discussion, the material recipient was finally chosen - Luoyang.
Firstly, he is a high school Chinese teacher, and it is easier for an educated person to communicate with the government. Secondly, the place where the supplies were distributed was the school where he used to teach, and the person in charge of the supply point announced to the public was still his former principal.
All the men in the building who were over 20 and under 50 were members of the grain protection team, and they were arranged and dispatched by Luoyang. Gu Ye was excluded because of his age.
Chu An didn’t care about releasing the food. What she cared about was the shelter’s missing persons service and whether Li Qing had been killed by the armed police.
The two men discussed it, and it was mainly Chu An who unilaterally decided to go to the shelter to register to find Lao Chu first, and then go to the bridge hole to find Li Qing. Even if they no longer lived there, Gangzi would leave clues.
Without further ado, we set off that day.
The van and snowmobile had been parked at the unfinished building. The two men carried a bucket of gasoline downstairs and decided to drive the van, mainly to avoid the wind.
The shelter is located near the Xiangshan Forest Park in the western suburbs. Although it is not built on a mountain, the terrain is relatively high. It used to be a large-scale integrated shopping mall integrating leisure, food, entertainment and shopping, covering an area of 800,000 square meters, with a parking lot alone of 300,000 square meters.
Before the end of the world, Xiangshan Forest Park and Zuogongshan Resort were known as the two beauties of City C.
The shelter was built here in the previous life. Chu An was very familiar with the route. He ignored the navigation and drove all the way at full speed. After an hour, he saw the outline of the shelter. It was not grand and looked a bit like a prison.
After driving for another ten minutes, I saw a sign that read 'C City Shelter'.
Although the terrain is relatively high, two floors were still flooded. The building that used to have six floors now only has four floors left, and the supermarket and food court on the underground floor were completely destroyed.
The former comprehensive shopping mall was surrounded by barbed wire, leaving two passages, one for exit and one for entry, right below the sign, with very clear signs.
At this time, there were seven cars and more than twenty pedestrians pushing carts lined up in front of the entrance passage.
There was no one on the other side.
