Chapter 216: Killing the Chicken to Frighten the Monkey
Yao Tao chatted with the four people until dawn, "Just give up on this idea. You can't afford to offend the people behind me."
The four of them pricked up their ears.
The person behind her?
Wasn't this woman dumped by a man? Did she run to their camp because she had no one to rely on?
"Are you related to the base team?" the four people tested.
"They're nothing." Yao Tao chuckled disdainfully. "If the man behind me comes to your base, Wei Changli will offer him supplies to curry favor with him."
The four of them looked at each other.
Wei Changli is the number one person in the base. If the base commander does not show up, he is equivalent to the boss of the base.
Would a powerful and influential person also try to curry favor with others?
They don't believe it.
Yao Tao fiddled with the gun in her hand. "I know you don't believe me, but you'll know in a few days. If he comes, he'll definitely be invited to the base commander's office by the chief of defense."
"What's the name of the person you are talking about?" asked the four people.
"Zhu Hua."
The four were confused.
Never heard of this name.
Yao Tao looked at the time. It was 5 o'clock in the morning and some survivors in the camp had already gotten up.
Only then did she let the four people go back.
The four of them looked sleepy and unwilling, but they couldn't do anything to her.
Yao Tao didn't dare to sleep. She added two more pieces of firewood to the fire and took a short nap.
An hour later, Doudou woke up and ran diligently to fetch water for Yao Tao to wash.
Yao Tao disliked the dirtiness of Doudou's basin, so she just wiped her face with the cleansing wipes she brought with her and considered it clean.
Yao Tao cooked some oatmeal for breakfast in her small pot.
Doudou also brought a bag of his corn flakes.
Yao Tao didn't hesitate and cooked the two together.
When the food was about to boil, she took out a small glass jar from her backpack, which contained some cooked red beans.
"What is this?" Doudou was almost confused by the aroma from the pot.
"Honey beans." These are the honey beans that Yao Tao made herself in her little nest in the tree hole.
The so-called honey beans are red beans that have been cooked in advance with sugar or honey added. They can be added directly to desserts when needed.
Yao Tao opened the bottle and scooped out two large spoonfuls of honey beans into a small pot.
The oatmeal and corn flakes were cooked until very soft and then mixed with candied beans, giving off a unique sweet smell.
Before the end of the world, this pot of food was not even considered a delicacy.
But now its fragrance is enough to attract the attention of everyone around.
However, after the incident of Yao Tao injuring someone last night, those people became much more obedient. Although they were greedy and had some ideas in their minds, they did not dare to step forward rashly.
Especially the four young men, after they went back, they told everyone around them that Yao Tao had a gun, and others did not dare to come over and offend him.
The four young men spread the news that Yao Tao had a gun, intending to arouse everyone's greed. Once someone was fearless enough to suggest that everyone rob her together, the four would follow suit and take advantage of her.
But they underestimated the deterrent effect of Yao Tao's knife last night.
The man whose hand she pierced was a pretty tough guy. He had been hiding in a tent ever since he was stabbed.
After breakfast, Yao Tao and Dou Dou packed their backpacks and went to the base market.
Several young men ran into Doudou's tent and rummaged around, but found nothing. They were so angry that they kicked the tent down.
At this time, someone came over to warn them, "If that woman comes back and asks about it, you will bear the consequences."
"How would she know who dismantled the tent if you didn't tell her?" The four of them were dissatisfied. "We are from the same camp, why are you speaking for an outsider?"
"You don't know... the guy that woman stabbed yesterday... has mutated and is infected."
The four were shocked.
Once the survivors are infected by the mutation, death is the end that awaits them.
Because they can't get medication.
The four of them didn't believe it at first, but an hour later when they saw the unconscious man being carried out by his family and thrown out of the camp, they realized that they could not afford the consequences of dismantling the tent.
The four of them ran back in a panic and repaired Doudou's tent and tidied it up.
The knife that Yao Tao used to stab someone yesterday was deliberately stained with the blood of a mutant animal.
She just wanted to make an example of someone.
