Lianyi stroked the whirlwind in her arms, thought for a moment and said to Yuan Chongming:
"Brother Yuan, you should go and look for support now, the sooner the better, don't waste time.
Zhao Jia and I waited for Brother Li and Wei Feng to come back, and then we went to the other side's lair. I felt that if these forwards didn't go back, this group would definitely take further action, so when the two of them came back, we stayed behind to watch over the house just in case."
Although Yuan Chongming frowned, he still nodded, immediately stood up and started to pack up. In less than fifteen minutes, he had armed himself, and then said to the two men:
"I'll go quickly and come back soon. You two should also be careful. Tie up those minions first and hand them over to them when the reinforcements arrive."
Yuan Chongming was worried before leaving and gave another reminder.
"Don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves and Jiayao."
After watching Yuan Chongming leave, Lianyi and Zhao Jia also began to make preparations.
Lianyi searched the space and found a mink coat, which was white in color and very concealing. She also found the constant temperature warm clothes, a cashmere sweater and thermal pants, and a pair of ice skates. She was basically ready. She also said a few words to Xuanfeng to prevent the little guy from worrying.
"Xuanfeng, your master is going out hunting and will prepare delicious food for you. You stay at home with Jiayao and take good care of him. If any bad guys break into the house, remember to hide and don't be discovered. Wait for your master to come back and take you back to the place."
"Meow!"
Tornado responded somewhat reluctantly, but nodded nonetheless.
"Oh my! How come our Tornado is so smart!"
Lianyi looked at Xuanfeng, the boy she raised without a single stray hair, and couldn't help but hug him and give him a kiss, causing Xuanfeng to meow in disgust.
She has raised Tornado for two months, and she found that the little guy has not only gained weight, but his body has also become longer, but it is not very obvious. What is more obvious is that his fur has become thicker and longer, and it is obviously evolving in order to survive the extreme cold weather.
Not only the animals, but also she herself, has gradually adapted to the cold weather. Unlike the day when the temperature first dropped, she felt frozen within two minutes of leaving the bed. It can only be said that human adaptability is super strong.
Zhao Jia came to the other side and knocked on the door. Seeing Lian Yi's white mink coat, he was full of envy and even touched it with his hand. He couldn't help but ask:
"Ripple, where did you get this?"
"I bought it before the natural disaster. I still have a short one. How about I lend it to you first? I don't know if I have to hide until midnight. Don't let the old nest be discovered and I get myself into trouble."
Ripple asked while hugging Cyclone.
"Really? I'll borrow it!"
Zhao Jia's eyes lit up and he immediately said, now is not the time to be pretentious, even if it means lending the supplies.
Lianyi went into the bedroom, took out a white short mink top from the closet and handed it to Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia put it on immediately, touched the mink fur with satisfaction, and said with a smile that showed her teeth:
“It’s a good thing, thank you!
I have some chocolates and snacks there, as well as fresh pork, what do you want?"
"I don't lack food for now. I'll tell you when I remember what I want."
Ripple said magnanimously.
Before they said a few words, they saw a group of people coming back from the entrance of the community. Lianyi saw from the window that Li Qian and Sun Weifeng were at the back, dragging something behind them.
Lianyi and Zhao Jia looked at each other, then quickly went downstairs to meet them and took the opportunity to leave.
Those who came back all had happy faces, obviously they had good harvests. Each of them carried things on their shoulders or in their hands. Some of them were dragging one bag each and were getting in through the broken windows on the tenth floor so that they could go back to their homes.
These people were all freezing when they went out. Their faces were all red, and their eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost. Some of them had their hands red from the cold, and some were wrapped in cloth strips, which probably didn't keep them warm. Even so, it couldn't hide the joy on their faces.
"Captain Li, is everything going well today?"
Zhao Jia and Lian Yi went directly to the back of the team.
"It's OK today. We changed the direction and didn't go to the direction we went yesterday. We went to a warehouse in the suburbs, which is a bit far away. There were some food and down jackets in some containers that were not frozen. It seemed that they were exported and then sold domestically."
Sun Weifeng said, breathing heavily.
"Then you go back first, Jiayao is home alone."
Lian Yi lowered her voice and spoke to the two of them.
"Where's Mingzi?"
Li Qian asked. He knew that Yuan Chongming only had this one relative left, and he usually kept a close eye on the child. But today he left the child alone at home. He was shocked and realized that something must have gone wrong.
"He went to get support. Today, someone sneaked into our community and was caught by Mingzi and I. They were the same group of people you met on the first day. They were a group of criminals who attacked the police station. They had weapons in their hands. After you beat them back, they set their sights on our community.
Those people who didn't come back yesterday might have leaked our secrets, so the three of us discussed it and decided to strike first. Mingzi will go find support, and Lianyi and I will go find out the bottom of their lair, so as not to be wiped out by them at once."
Zhao Jia explained the situation in a few words.
"Why don't Weifeng and I go?"
Li Qian frowned.
"Don't argue with us about this. You've been running around outside all day and must be very exhausted. It's not suitable for you to go and investigate. Just stay at home and take care of Jiayao, and wait for our good news."
Lianyi refused directly.
Li Qian did not insist this time. They felt that there was no heat in their bodies and they wished they could hug the stove. In addition, they were very hungry. They had only eaten a few pieces of dry food at noon and were already hungry. This state was really not suitable for continuing to go out and explore.
"Okay then. You two should be careful! If you can't find it, come back and we will find a way."
Li Qian instructed.
"I know. You guys go back quickly. There's some warm food on the stove. Fill your stomach first. We're leaving now."
After a brief exchange, Lianyi put on goggles and a mask, put on the hood of her mink coat, and left Shanshui Huating Community with Zhao Jia.
One of them was using skis, the other was using skates, and they were both moving very fast. In less than half an hour, they completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Zhao Jia led the way. She remembered the place the other party was talking about. It was a wealthy community in the city. The terrain was relatively high. Only rich or noble people lived there. There were only six buildings, and the rest were small villas.
According to what those minions said, all the villas were flooded and only those six buildings were habitable. Their boss occupied there and began to gather nearby disaster victims. On the pretext of protecting them, he collected a certain amount of food as protection money, bullied men and women, and acted tyrannically. Because they had guns, no one dared to resist.
All those who resisted at the beginning were killed by their boss Xu, which frightened the remaining people. They lived a very comfortable life until they had a conflict with them when they were robbing frozen pork in the suburbs. They found that they also had guns, and then boss Xu became interested.
