Chapter 161 Deterrence
"You want to leave? Why don't you apologize for falsely accusing someone? How about this? We are not unreasonable people. As long as you give me the watch on your hand, this matter will be over!"
A man with a greasy face stopped Mulanzhi. He looked to be in his 50s with many white hairs. His face was skinny, like a bag of bones, and looked scary. It might be because he had been starving for the past two years.
His eyes were particularly prominent, staring straight at the pocket watch in Mulanzhi's hand.
The watch is obviously worth a lot of money. Although it is not valuable now and may not even be exchanged for a pack of instant noodles, looking at things that you didn’t even dare to think about before still makes people greedy.
And although this thing is not valuable now, who knows what changes will happen in the future.
"No, why should we give it to you? It was you who caused the trouble first, and then you hurt people, so how can you ask us for compensation?"
Mulanzhi glared at the other person and at the same time pulled her clothes to cover the watch with her sleeves.
The two sides were arguing, but Gu Qing's condition was getting worse and worse, and Mulanzhi was getting more and more anxious.
This watch is the only thing her mother left her. She keeps it with her as a souvenir, so how could she give it to these people?
However, if Gu Qing continues to persist with these people, his condition will only get worse.
She gritted her teeth, feeling a little resentful. In the past, she would never take such a small figure seriously. But as the eldest daughter of the Mu family, everyone who saw her had to be respectful to her.
She had never been treated so badly by anyone before!
Although life in the last one or two years in the apocalypse was a little harder than before, she had stockpiled a lot of supplies thanks to Xingyue's reminder, and her dignity was still there, so she didn't suffer much.
If it weren't for this flood, her villa would have been completely submerged, and even some of the remaining food had been washed away, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
It was the first time for her to face the harassment of such a small person, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, Gu Qing's consciousness completely fell into a coma. Mulanzhi couldn't hold him up, and his body fell to the ground.
Gu Qing——
Her face changed and she squatted down to help.
The man in his 50s continued to say: "The man who protected you just now must be your boyfriend or husband, right? Now his condition is so dangerous, but you can't even bear to give him a watch. I really feel sorry for this brother."
Mulanzhi didn't say anything. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. At this moment, she didn't want to say anything else. She reached back to take off her watch.
No matter how reluctant I am, Gu Qing’s life is the most important now.
"What are you doing? I told you not to cause trouble, but you insist on doing the opposite, right?"
"What's going on? This man is so badly injured. Are you planning to cause trouble in our base?"
At this moment, two base members in blue uniforms hurried over here, and the other one shouted angrily in a bad tone.
The faces of the people surrounding Mulanzhi changed. The man in his 50s said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, little brother. I don't know what's going on with these two newcomers. They came up and wanted to blackmail us, saying that we hurt her boyfriend and insisted on asking us to pay compensation. We don't know what's going on either."
"We all know the rules of the base. How could there be any trouble? They are clearly trying to extort something from us."
Those people explained one after another, putting all the blame on Mulanzhi and the others, and they themselves became the victims.
There were some people around who knew the truth, but no one explained anything for the two of them. They just looked at Mulanzhi and Gu Qing with some sympathy.
No one wants to offend another party for the sake of a stranger.
Besides, this group of people are not easy to deal with. Although the people in the Zhonghai base have regulations prohibiting trouble, sometimes these villains are difficult to deal with and hard to guard against, and no one wants to provoke such people.
"Nonsense, you think we didn't see it before and you can do whatever you want on the boat, right? We all know what happened before, it's obvious that you took advantage of the fact that you were on the boat first to cause trouble for the newcomers and even hurt them."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the men changed, and they glanced at the people around them with gloomy eyes...
Who is it? Who filed a complaint!!!
"What are you looking at? How can you still want to do evil in front of us?"
"No, no, no, it's just that little brother, we are really wronged. We have always been honest, how dare we do such a thing"
"Nonsense, as soon as we got on the boat, you stopped us and threatened us, asking us to pay you some protection money, otherwise we will have no chance of having a good life on the boat."
"My boyfriend and I disagreed, but you just stopped us, your words were full of threats, and you took a knife to my boyfriend when he wasn't paying attention, and you didn't let us leave."
"Comrade, everything I said is true. Their knives should still be on them. If you don't believe me, you can search them."
The faces of those men changed, and the two members of the base looked at each other. One of them immediately stepped forward to search the other person, and sure enough, he found a dagger with blood on it.
The two people from the Zhonghai base changed their expressions: "I've already said that this is not a place for you to do whatever you want. Since you don't follow the rules, please leave."
Seeing that they could no longer argue, those people quickly pleaded: "No, we are wrong, please don't chase us away, we can't survive if you leave now."
"We promise that we will never do it again, please forgive us this time."
But their pleas were of no avail. If they were let off this time, others would simply think that they were easy to talk to in the Zhonghai base, and that they could get away with it by just begging for mercy after making a mistake.
If this is the case, then the rules they had stated before will no longer be binding on others, and the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
Before this search and rescue operation, they had already taken into account the end of the world, and the nature of many people might have begun to run wild. Although they were rescuing people in distress, they had no idea who these people were before or what their personalities were.
Without a strict set of rules, trouble will continue.
"I advise you to leave on your own accord. If you continue to make trouble, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
After the two members of the Zhonghai Base finished speaking, they gestured to them to come in.
The men looked unhappy, but no one moved.
They just don't believe it. If they don't go down, then they can still force them down.
Seeing that they were not cooperating, the two members of the base said nothing and one of them just opened fire!
