After the end of the world, some people did set up checkpoints at various intersections. It was considered good if they only collected a small amount of supplies before letting people pass. Some people set up checkpoints directly to rob people. Every car passing by had to hand over all its supplies. If there were women in the car, the women had to be left behind before the car could pass.
So when Mu Cheng heard Tang Nuo say this, she was not too surprised and even thought it was normal.
Others, however, felt that these people were going too far. A woman who was resting nearby heard Tang Nuo's words and said, "Are these people still breaking the law? Isn't there anyone who will stand up and resist?"
"Didn't you hear what this gentleman said? Others have guns." A man looked at the woman sarcastically. "Resist, do you think you can be harder than a bullet, or do you think you can be faster than a bullet?"
The woman's face flushed red, and after a long while she managed to utter, "Can we only give them supplies? One packet of instant noodles is enough for my husband and I to have a meal, and you want five packets of instant noodles per person?"
Another man said calmly, "You can take another route, but if you do, you'll have to drive over a hundred miles to get to the highway. If you don't encounter any problems along the way, it's good. If you do, it won't just be a matter of a few packets of instant noodles."
The man's words made everyone fall silent, even the woman who had been yelling incessantly fell silent.
Qin Ziheng walked up to Tang Nuo and asked, "Boss, do you really want to give it to me?"
Tang Nuo said calmly, "These people are nothing but bullies."
Qin Ziheng smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Yang Yiguo and Wang Xintong scratched their heads with a silly look on their faces. What did Tang Nuo mean? Was he going to give it to him or not?
The car in front started to move, and a group of people got in the car and moved forward along the line of the car in front.
After walking and stopping for an hour and a half, I finally saw the toll booth ahead. There were more than a dozen ferocious-looking men standing there, and all of them had guns in their hands.
This group of people blocked all the entrances to the toll station, leaving only one entrance. More than a dozen people stood at the entrance with guns in their hands. If you don’t pay enough toll, you either leave or die.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, there was finally only one car left in front. A man walked up and asked the driver to open the car. He counted the number of people one by one. After counting the number of people, he put his hand in front of the car window and said, "Twenty-five bags of instant noodles."
The driver didn't dare to delay and immediately handed out the instant noodles that had been prepared long ago.
The man took the instant noodles, counted them, and his expression immediately changed. "Damn it, do you think I can't count?"
The driver was a little confused. "Ah! I prepared 25 bags!"
The man stuffed the instant noodles at the driver with an annoyed look on his face. "Fuck you, count it yourself."
The woman in the passenger seat said calmly, "No need to count, there are only twenty bags in there."
The driver looked at the woman and asked, "What are you doing?"
The woman yelled unhappily, "We only have a little over fifty bags of instant noodles. If we hand over twenty-five bags, how will we have enough to eat later?"
The driver yelled in frustration, "So what? Who else can we ask to get off the bus?"
"Why can't people get off the bus?" the woman yelled, and said to the person behind her, "Xiao Yunchang, get off."
Xiao Yunchang...
Mu Cheng raised her eyebrows. Could it be that person?
The driver immediately became angry and pointed at the woman and yelled, "Chen He, don't go too far."
"Too much?" The woman looked at the driver sarcastically. "I've helped you raise this bastard for seventeen years. This is enough."
The driver became even more furious. He got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, pointed at the woman and cursed, "Chen He, if you dare to say 'bastard' again, I will..."
