Jiang Ning finally understood that Aoyuan only wanted capable people who could work together to survive natural disasters.
He Tianming was startled, then he laughed, "Ms. Jiang has a keen eye. We do have a well in our community. It was dug manually by a member who knows how to dig a well and the people in the community dug it. Each household can get about half a bucket of water every day. Do you still think 10 kilograms of grain is expensive?"
After the conversation, he had already made up his mind about the two people and really hoped that they would join.
Although the community knows a lot of things, it has no doctors and its defense capabilities are not strong. It is in urgent need of people like Huo Yishen.
"We'll think about it and give you a reply two days later?"
Having been used to being vigilant, the Garden of Eden in the end times seemed more like a poisonous apple. The two did not rush into the residential complex to look at houses. They first wanted to get to know Aoyuan better, so as to avoid being trapped when they entered.
I drove away and instead of going home, I found an unfinished building with a wide view and waited there patiently to observe.
According to He Tianming, Aoyuan delivered two buildings in the first phase, and only the exterior decoration of the three buildings in the second phase was completed, while the interiors were still bare. Later, he took the owners of the community to renovate Building 3 and rent it out.
Huo Yishen observed with a telescope and found that there were indeed only three buildings with signs of life, and the other two buildings were vacant.
Judging from the clothes hanging on the balconies and the plantings, every floor of every building except the upper floors is occupied by residents.
It is estimated that there is one household living on each floor. Closing the fire door on the stairs means an extra layer of safety. This distribution is reasonable.
Aoyuan has a large plan with a lot of vacant land waiting to be developed. However, a natural disaster suddenly struck and now the land has been turned into scattered straw sheds for sunshade and drought-resistant sweet potatoes are planted in the fields.
There is a river not far from the community, and the groundwater should be more abundant than other places. It makes sense to dig a well, otherwise where would so many sweet potatoes come from in the community.
By this calculation, life in Aoyuan is much better than in other places.
But the better the conditions, the greater the possibility of becoming a thorn in the eyes of others.
Huo Yishen discovered that in addition to the sentry post at the main gate, there was also a sentry post in the sky garden of Building 2, which was used to observe and monitor the situation outside.
In addition, there is a patrol team that goes around the neighborhood every half an hour, which shows that they are well aware of the dangers outside.
"I don't think they have a big problem, but they are guilty of possessing a treasure. However, their combat effectiveness is weak and it is difficult to defend. If the environment continues to deteriorate, it is only a matter of time before they lose."
In addition to food, the most precious resource now is water. If outsiders knew that Aoyuan has water, it would be a fierce battle.
It’s okay for ordinary survivors, as long as the community is united in facing the outside world, but what if they encounter evil forces that form gangs?
Jiang Ning thought about it and realized that it was true that Aoyuan had hidden dangers, but if he went to rent a house somewhere else, it would be equally dangerous to bring his children and dog with him and he would not be able to live in peace all day long.
There is still a risk of collapse during a major earthquake, so it would be a waste of time to look for it.
Aoyuan did not collapse in the previous life, although it may not collapse in this life, but the safety factor is still relatively high.
She said, "Let's observe for a few more days. If we are sure there is no problem, we will move in then?"
Huo Yishen had no objection, "Okay."
For several days in a row, the two brought their baby and dog here on time to conduct a comprehensive observation of Aoyuan. They found that their lives were quite regular and there were loudspeakers and intercoms at several important positions in the community.
One evening, Jiang Ning was sitting on a rotten tail road eating frozen watermelon when the dog gave an early warning.
She took out a telescope and found a group of people holding hoes and sticks, marching towards Aoyuan. There were about 20 of them, and they should be local residents nearby.
They gathered at the entrance of Aoyuan, and the two sides soon confronted and engaged in physical conflict.
An alarm sounded in Aoyuan, and men, women and children came out in droves to launch a survival counterattack.
Jiang Ning threw the half-eaten watermelon to Gouzi and stared at it intently.
He Tianming is the leader. Their fighting ability is not strong, but it is obviously not the first time they are fighting against the enemy. Moreover, they are in their own territory. They use tactics such as sand in the eyes and pepper water to quickly repel the enemy.
However, it seems that several people were injured.
From the beginning to the end, it was all cold weapon combat.
In the evening, the two drove back to the apartment building and found a van parked at the door.
The car door was wide open, and there were several bald men with tattoos sitting inside. Some of them had cigarettes in their mouths, and some were playing with sharp knives.
Seeing the Hummer stop, the leading man threw his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, "From the 18th floor?"
Huo Yishen lowered the car window and asked sternly, "What's the matter?"
The man raised his eyebrows, "You haven't forgotten that you killed someone a few days ago, have you?"
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will kill him." Huo Yishen ignored his threat, "Is there a problem?"
The man with the knife had a bad temper and rushed over to hit Huo Yishen twice, "You killed so many of our brothers..."
Huo Yishen's eyes darkened, "Try to move."
The man with flowery arms was about to stab with his knife, but was stopped by the leading man.
The man put on a smiling face and said, "You killed several brothers in the Qinggang base. According to the rules, we have to avenge them, but our boss cherishes talents. As long as you agree to join the base, we can forgive you for the past."
Huo Yishen refused, "Not interested."
The man's expression froze. "I advise you to think it over carefully. Not only will we not pursue the matter, but we will also give you a good meal and a nice girl to choose from. You won't get this kind of treatment outside."
Huo Yishen reiterated, "Not interested."
The man immediately turned hostile, "You don't want to drink a toast, so you have to drink a forfeit, right?"
"I stopped drinking."
Several girls with tattoos came up and wanted to teach Huo Yishen a lesson, but were stopped by the man again.
He looked at Huo Yishen, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Okay, don't regret your choice today, let's go!"
The van roared away.
Several flower-armed men were dissatisfied, "Brother Chun, why didn't we kill him just now?"
"Kill?" The man narrowed his eyes, "Have you forgotten how the rats and the others died?"
The flower-armed people were speechless, and then they became indignant, "Is he really that powerful?"
"Have we been asking around for nothing these past few days?" The man was furious. "Everyone around here knows that everyone living on the 18th floor is not easy to mess with. They even targeted the people from the Dragon Slayer Society."
"The boss wanted to give him face, but he didn't want it. We lost so many brothers and dared not say a word. We were not going to be laughed at. Who would take Qinggang Base seriously in the future? Do you still want to be in the underworld?"
"Why are you complaining? We just need to do whatever the boss arranges. Do you need to eat, drink and have fun?"
The tattooed men stopped talking and the van sped away.
Back on the 18th floor, Jiang Ning sent the two away to play. "They won't give up."
