Chapter 98 Superpowers?
These tents are connected to the unit doors, and the curtains of the tents are rolled up, but there are screens to block the bugs, so the bugs won't fly in.
Not only can they ventilate, but the people in the building can also observe the situation outside through the windows of the tents.
In her previous life, Chen Qingqing had seen many people living in unit buildings, and when the houses had no screens and no other materials, they used this method to prevent insects and ventilate.
It seems that these people are quite smart.
This community has long been without water and electricity, and there are only three tents, and the height of this abandoned community is only four stories at most.
That is to say, there are no more than fifty people in here.
These fifty people can completely take refuge in the shelter, but they are huddling together here.
Chen Qingqing didn't believe that they had nothing to rely on.
"Who are you?"
A loudspeaker suddenly sounded from inside the tent. They had obviously discovered the two men.
Chen Qingqing immediately changed his gun position from holding it to placing it at his side.
"We have no ill intentions. We just want to ask for a glass of water." Chen Qingqing said loudly.
"Asking for water with a gun? Are you trying to steal water?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "I always have to consider my own personal safety... We have the chance to meet each other, so let's get to know each other."
"...We don't want to get to know you."
Perhaps afraid of the guns in the hands of the two men, the other party added, "We can give you a bottle of water, you can leave first."
Chen Qingqing looked towards the tent where the sound came from: "Okay."
"But we are really not robbers, we can try our best to satisfy any supplies you want."
There was silence on the other side for a while, as if they didn't expect that they were really just asking for water and were willing to exchange supplies.
"...Do you still have the protective suits you were wearing?"
"Yes, how many sets do you want?"
Protective suits don't take up much space, and Chen Qingqing had stockpiled quite a few in the space before. When she said goodbye to Wu Yue, Wu Yue gave her quite a few more.
Protective suits are now the most indispensable thing for Chen Qingqing.
The loudspeaker on the opposite side was forgotten to be turned off, and only the noisy voices of the crowd could be heard.
They were discussing how many protective suits Chen Qingqing had to dare to ask them so directly.
Not long after, the other side became quiet.
"We can only give you two bottles of water at most. If you have any protective suits left, please give us two sets."
This sentence surprised Chen Qingqing.
As expected, these people were in great need of protective clothing. After all, the insect plague was raging, and anyone without protective clothing would be unable to move. However, they were only willing to take out two bottles of water in exchange.
This shows two pieces of information.
First, the person in charge may not be among them, so they do not have the right to use a large amount of supplies.
Because of this, they discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.
Second, the person in charge who was not in the camp was likely to be a superpower.
There was no water source near the Handa community, and Chen Qingqing did not find any generators nearby. Normal people would not live in such a place that was neither mountainous nor water-based.
And there was only one possibility for these ordinary survivors to live here-someone with extraordinary abilities was helping them, but the settlement was not large in scale, so the number of superpowers was probably not large.
"Of course, no problem." Chen Qingqing responded quickly.
She and Lin Bo retreated and took out two sets of protective clothing from the space.
Not long after, they heard shouts from the opposite side, and Chen Qingqing and Lin Bo walked over again with protective clothing.
There were two more bottles of water where they were standing just now.
Chen Qingqing picked up the water and put down the protective clothing: "I put it here."
"Actually, I still have a lot of protective clothing. If you need it, we can continue to change."
"No."
This time the other side refused more decisively.
"We can only take out these two bottles. You should leave quickly and don't come over again."
Chen Qingqing did not comment, winked at her husband, and the two walked back together.
"They seemed to be very anxious from beginning to end." Lin Bo said.
Anxious and nervous, it seems that they really want the two to leave as soon as possible.
"Is it because we are carrying weapons?"
Chen Qingqing was about to speak when she suddenly saw Xiaohuan in the car lying on the window, knocking on the glass with his little fists, looking very anxious.
Seeing that his parents noticed him, Xiaohuan immediately pointed to their left.
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection between the blood, Chen Qingqing immediately pulled Lin Bo to squat.
At the same time, the two felt something whizzing past their heads, and they could feel a burning breath in the cold air.
There was another "bang" sound, and the two looked to the right, where a piece of rag in the ruins was burning.
The blinding rags seemed to be saying - if Chen Qingqing had been a little slower, the couple would have been set on fire.
Chen Qingqing immediately turned around and saw four people standing not far away. The leading man was wearing very exaggerated clothes and looked at the two people with contempt.
And at the tip of his index finger, a cluster of flames was hanging.
It turned out to be a superpower!
Chen Qingqing raised the gun without hesitation and pulled the trigger.
The man didn't expect her to dare to shoot suddenly, and hurriedly took a step back, but found that Chen Qingqing's bullet hit not far in front of where he had just stood.
Chen Qingqing said coldly: "Next time, it won't be hitting the ground."
The man was immediately furious: "You are looking for death!"
As he said that, the flames on his fingertips became bigger and bigger. Just as he was about to attack again, he was blocked by a fat man behind him.
The fat man puffed up his face and said in a flattering manner: "You Zhi, let's talk it over. I don't think they are bad people."
You Zhi raised his leg and kicked him:
"You know shit!"
"You're a piece of shit! Get out! It's none of your business what I want to do!"
The fat man was kicked two meters away and fell to the ground awkwardly.
You Zhi glanced at him with disgust: "I asked you to follow me out to find supplies, do you really think you're a big shot?"
The other two had no intention of helping the fat man. One sneered, and the other came to You Zhi to persuade him not to be angry.
However, when he looked up again, Chen Qingqing's gun was already pointed at his head.
You Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to attack again, but was stopped by Chen Qingqing the next second: "Do you think your fire is faster, or my gun?"
You Zhi stopped.
Chen Qingqing looked him up and down: "Are you the leader of that group of people?"
You Zhi said, "Yes, what?"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here! I'm here to protect the people inside, don't even think about touching them!"
Chen Qingqing felt a little complicated.
How could this guy be so stupid, bad, and loyal? She didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Chen Qingqing took a deep breath: "If you're worried that I've done something bad, you can go ask them."
You Zhi was half-believing and half-doubting, and winked at the two people beside him. The three of them walked into the community together, looking back at the two people as they walked, worried that they would launch a sneak attack.
However, the fat man was left behind.
Chen Qingqing looked at him: "Aren't you going with them?"
The fat man forced a smile, and when he raised his head, Chen Qingqing saw that he was sweating and pale.
"My arm seems to be bleeding."
Chen Qingqing frowned: "Let me see if it's scratched?"
The fat man turned around with difficulty and raised his arm, but saw dark blue blood flowing from the inside of his arm!
