Chapter 609: Mist. Three-pronged approach
Gangzi led Bozi and two other companions on patrol. The two were his own trained men, and they were quite skilled, so they were not worried about their own safety. However, he still asked Bozi to remind Quan Duan and Jiang Tuo who were guarding the front gate, as he felt that these people came prepared.
"Stop, didn't you hear me?"
The black-faced man on Gangzi's left continued to scold and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
His name is Fang Guoxu, he is exactly 40 years old this year. His face was dark because of ultraviolet allergy. Old man Wei smeared some medicinal mud on him, and the allergy was cured. The color of his face has never changed since then.
He and his wife Fang Xin followed Gangzi in City C and moved all the way here. They are considered old people.
The people on the other side finally stopped, about ten meters away from them. The old man in the lead looked righteous and said, "You have occupied the shelter, and you have enjoyed a lot these days. If you give us 500 kilograms of food today, we will not hold you responsible for occupying the shelter."
Fang Guoxu almost laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke. Five hundred kilograms of food? He could take out five hundred kilograms of stone. There was already some on the ground.
"What does the shelter have to do with you?" Fang Guoxu sneered, "You really think you're an important person!"
"I advise you to leave here quickly. Swords and guns are merciless. I will not show mercy just because you are ordinary people." The man standing on Gangzi's right warned. His voice was not loud, but more powerful than Fang Guoxu's.
His name is Zhou Shen, he just turned 18 this year, and was picked up by Li Qing on the way to Qing City. At that time, he was carrying his mother who was already smelly and holding his sister who had just died, and he was dying.
Zhou Shen is not tall and thin, but he is very strong. He is a twisted man who is ruthless, yet chivalrous and kind-hearted.
Gangzi thinks highly of him, which may also be related to Bozai. Bozai and he are good friends. One is a chatterbox and the other is aloof, and their personalities complement each other.
"You want us to leave? No way."
"We won't leave without food."
The people behind the old man began to shout, "If you don't give us food, you will have to give us back our shelter."
"Either give food or give back shelter."
Fang Guoxu looked at the idiot in front of him and didn't feel pity for him at all. "You were the ones who insisted on leaving, and now you want to come back. How dare you be so shameless? Besides, you have emptied all the food in the warehouse. Where can we get any more food?"
"How can you survive a month without food?"
"That's right. You must have hidden the food. We only took as much as we could. Return the food in the shelter to us as soon as possible."
"Yes, give it back to us, that's our food."
Fang Guoxu rolled his eyes. "We eat our own food. It has nothing to do with you. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. In this day and age, getting hurt means death. Don't let yourself get upset."
His words had some effect, the noise died down a bit, and the skinny old man standing in front began to win people over, "If there's nothing good in the shelter, can you occupy it and not leave? Don't be fooled by them, these hooligans are the best at finding places. Everyone listen to me, don't retreat, if we don't take back some food today while there are so many people, we won't have another chance in the future, do you want to starve to death on the street?"
"No retreat, Old Man Zhou, we listen to you."
"I will never retreat."
"Retreat to the shelter, that's our home."
"Yes, take back what belongs to us."
Gangzi knew that it was useless to say anything, so he didn't interrupt Guoxu and Zhou Shen because he wanted to delay time.
He clenched the dagger in his hand. It seemed that today's conflict was inevitable. But... after following Li Qing for so many years, he also learned some ways to deal with it. "If you don't retreat, then I will see who wants to be the first soul to die under the knife. Your life is your own. Don't let others deceive you."
Those who were ready to make a move just now seemed to be hesitant now. The reason they stood behind Old Man Zhou was that they did not want to be the first to take action.
Old Zhou waved his arms and said, "Everyone listen to me, let's go together. There are only three of them. Are we afraid of them?"
Three of them, also hooligans with knives.
......
The main entrance of the shelter was already under siege when Bo Zai arrived.
The man who calls himself "Boss Gao" is not named Gao, but Wang. He is the logistics captain promoted by Guo Changshan. When refugees besieged the office building, he wanted to save Guo Changshan but failed and was kicked several times.
Although he obeyed Guo Changshan's orders, he was not loyal to him. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, his first thought was to transfer the food.
What he didn't expect was that many refugees had set their sights on the warehouse. In order to maximize his own interests, he discussed with several close colleagues around him, pretending to be the boss, winning over the refugees, leaving the shelter together, and building his own apocalyptic kingdom.
But many people know him and have a bad impression of him, and he even disguises himself. I don't know who gave him the confidence to think he could manage so many people.
Wang's current image is an old man in his fifties. He is not tall, and due to malnutrition, his face is covered with wrinkles. If he just hunches his back and puts a plaster on his eyes, he will look like a little old man.
He regretted his escape less than half a month after taking his men away. These refugees were too difficult to manage. They were good for nothing and only knew how to eat. They were also very dissatisfied.
The food they looted could normally last for a month, but they ate two-thirds of it in less than ten days. They were given food rations and were scolded so harshly that their ancestors' graves were almost dug up.
In order to gain a foothold outside, he had to waste more than 100 kilograms of food to provide porridge to refugees around the streets, win people's hearts, and ask people to inquire about the situation in the shelter.
It would have been better if he hadn't asked about it. He regretted it even more after he found out. He heard that they could eat three meals a day and they were full every day. The cooked dishes were salty. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. That's why he forced them to hand over the food today.
They also used three methods at the same time, letting Old Man Zhou lead his men to attack from the river, he led his men to attack from the front, and a large group of people went to rob Sheng Tang's food. This news was only known by eavesdropping on Guo Changshan's conversation with the captain of Sheng Tang's mobile team.
It can be said that all the refugees who could move in Qing City were mobilized on that day.
"How are you thinking about it?" The man who stepped forward showed his big yellow teeth, "The time I gave you to think about it is almost up."
Jiang Tuo did not panic. Although the inside of the shelter was not very good, the gate was built very solidly. It was a sliding door made of thick iron tracks. The doorposts on both sides were poured with concrete. The wall was also a cement wall, which was not easy to push down. There was also a barbed wire hanging on it.
They had already closed the main gate, leaving only the small gate next to it for entry and exit. If the situation was not good, they would all retreat. Even if the first gate was breached, there was still the second gate. Although I didn't know why the second gate was made into an iron gate with flowers, it was still iron.
"Quanduan, don't be impulsive." Jiang Tuo pulled the "firecracker" while observing the situation on the opposite side.
