Chapter 173 They May Not All Be Good
"Why do you come to our Hope Base and not stay in Fucheng Base?" Fucheng Base is also a private base, which seems to be jointly established by wealthy businessmen, powerful officials and others in Fucheng.
There are people from Fucheng in their base, but no one has escaped from the Fucheng base.
"It seems you don't know yet? Last May, the river backflowed into Fucheng, destroying the entire city and the Fucheng base! All the senior officials and survivors of the Fucheng base were swept away, resulting in countless casualties. We were lucky not to die in the backflow!
When the river receded, the base completely collapsed, making it uninhabitable! We had long known that the Shuanglong base in Hangzhou had been renamed Hope Base and its commander had been replaced, so we wanted to come to Hangzhou to see what was happening. Later, we heard that acid rain and thick fog had destroyed Hangzhou, just like Fucheng, but the base hadn't been evacuated, so we decided to try our luck.
"Please take us in. We can do anything! We won't be sneaky or cause trouble for the base! Please!"
Su Cheng called the management team together to discuss the matter, and after discussion, they decided to accept these survivors.
Since they had no house to live in temporarily, Su Cheng allocated an area and asked them to build a shed by themselves. He also lent them one day's food. After they built the shed, they started working.
There are no extra houses for them to live in at the base. The number of refugees already accommodated has exceeded 30, and there is no room for them to squeeze in.
The refugees did not complain and felt that it was good enough that the base was willing to take them in.
After they had their meal, they started to build a shed. After asking where to find wood or tools, they borrowed tools and went to the mountains to cut trees. Su Cheng sent a security team to monitor them in the name of protection. He wanted to make sure that these people would not cause trouble to the base.
After Lu Xingtang learned that the refugees from Fucheng were coming, he remembered the Fucheng refugees he met during the polar day period in his previous life. Fucheng had indeed suffered a natural disaster of river water flooding back, and the entire Fucheng was destroyed.
He just said to Su Cheng: "It has been five years since the apocalypse. We have lived in the base and have not suffered too much, but don't forget that refugees are different from the survivors in our base. They have experienced too many setbacks and natural disasters, and human nature has long changed. The Tiger Roar Gang in Xuancheng is an example!"
You can't guarantee that there are no Twolegs among the refugees entering the base! If there are, then the survivors of the base will be in danger.
Su Cheng is very wary of refugees, but he has not found any refugees to be disobedient so far.
But Su Cheng remembered Lu Xingtang's reminder.
Since they began accepting refugees into the base, their base has gradually received many refugees who fled from the Fucheng base. Their conditions are similar to those of the first batch of refugees. Some even crawled to their base dying, looking very miserable and pitiful.
Su Cheng did not accept them rashly, but accepted them after discussion and careful examination, and placed all the refugees together. At the same time, the base strengthened patrols.
Seeing that the refugees were well accommodated, Su Cheng went to play cards with Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo again. After two rounds of cards, his loyal assistant came up and said, "Base Commander, something's happened! Three children are missing from our base. The youngest is three years old, and the oldest is five! The children's parents have searched the base thoroughly, and we've also sent security personnel to look for them, but they can't find them!"
Hearing this, Su Cheng put down the cards in his hand. Lu Xingtang frowned. Could it be that she was right and their base really took in bipeds?
Before accepting refugees, there had never been a case of a child getting lost in the base. Children played in the base or worked with the survivors without any accidents. At most, they would fall or fight with their friends and cry.
"Amo, if nothing unexpected happens..." Lu Xingtang stood at the door of his house, watching Su Cheng and his loyal assistant sprint back to the base: "It must have been done by the Bipeds! Damn it!"
Ji Yanmo said calmly: "Su Cheng will take care of it!"
Lu Xingtang nodded and did not go to the base to inquire about the situation. Su Cheng would definitely tell them the results.
Four days passed in a flash, and Su Cheng came over again, looking very upset: "Hasn't the matter been dealt with yet?"
Su Cheng sat in a chair and drank a large glass of boiled water before speaking: "It's been handled. Two-legged beasts did appear in our base. I personally let them in. Five Two-legged beasts! In addition to the three children you know who were killed, there are also two other children and three adult women who were killed!"
It actually harmed eight people!
"How did you deal with it?"
Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "We conducted a thorough investigation and found the missing child's clothes! We spent another day to find the three women. These three women were not dead, but they hid and humiliated the five Twolegs! After the three women were rescued, they identified the five Twolegs!"
Five children were killed by two-legged beasts...
How could they possibly endure this? Su Cheng had the limbs of the five Twolegs severed and then handed them over to the families of the victims, asking them to avenge them. He had the entire base trample on them, and in the end, the five Twolegs were beaten to death!
After death, he was burned and his ashes were thrown into a pit.
All the refugees who were taken in, no matter which batch they were taken in, were forced to leave the base! They were forced to get out of the base!
"Now our base refuses to accept refugees, no matter how the refugees beg, we refuse to accept them!" Su Cheng was really angry. He and the Holy Father of the base had a heart to save their lives, and it would be fine if they didn't know how to be grateful, but they actually harmed innocent people. It was only because they were adults and had some abilities, otherwise they would have become food for the two-legged beasts!
Lu Xingtang gave Su Cheng a thumbs-up: "Well done!" He paused, "Actually, if the three of us were in trouble, the refugees wouldn't show any sympathy, but would simply take our supplies! If we're unlucky enough to encounter a biped, we'd be eaten! Even the survivors in the base aren't necessarily all good! So you better think about yourselves!"
Su Cheng fell silent. "I understand!" The base was a shelter, but not a lifelong one. They couldn't be sure what natural or man-made disasters would strike in the future. If they didn't prepare a way out, they would be left with nothing when that day finally came. And the survivors wouldn't be grateful to him for helping them survive the apocalypse. Not stepping on them was already a mercy.
So from that day on, Su Cheng would hide half of his supplies.
At the same time, let the scientific research team study the astronomical phenomena and climate carefully and take precautions in advance.
Because of the incident of bipeds eating sheep in the base, Su Cheng strengthened the defenses and increased patrol personnel to prevent refugees from breaking into the base to prevent more innocent people from suffering such a tragedy.
From that day on, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo basically stopped going out hunting or chopping wood. Even if they went out, someone had to stay at home to prevent refugees from rushing into their house and stealing their supplies.
Lu Xingtang was always the one left behind. Ji Yanmo didn't allow her to go out to look for supplies, and he also dug traps around the house and the fields.
