Chapter 39 Armory

In just two months, the number of refugees admitted to the shelter in City A reached 70,000, far exceeding the shelter's capacity.

The shelter is overcrowded, but even so, new refugees enter every day.

Each of the simply renovated large shops that could accommodate hundreds of people was packed with no less than a thousand people, with only a path left for the staff to distribute daily food.

At the beginning, there were few people in the shelter, and there was no problem in supplying everyone with three meals a day. As the number of people pouring into the shelter increased, the quantity and quality of food distributed continued to decrease. Now each person only has a bag of bread or a bag of compressed biscuits, plus a bottle of mineral water every day.

Thousands of people live in one house, and there is a mix of all kinds of people.

The food distributed by the government can only ensure that they will not starve to death, but forget about filling their stomachs.

In order to get more food to fill their stomachs, some people became more creative, secretly taking away food saved by others while others were sleeping, or avoiding official managers to rob food from the weak.

The matter became a big deal and was brought to the attention of the shelter staff. However, each side insisted on their own story and could not produce any solid evidence, so the case was eventually dropped.

The shelter has a limited number of staff and a lot of people to manage, so conflicts arise all the time. They know exactly what is going on in some things, but they can only choose to turn a blind eye. Otherwise, they will be asked to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, and they will not be able to get any work done in a day.

A corner of a room in the shelter

"Brother Hanxu, let's leave the shelter and go back to the community. I can't stand this kind of life for another day~" Wang Yayun complained while hugging Du Hanxu's arm.

"We can't go back! If we go back, we will definitely be dead! Have you forgotten that crazy woman Ye Yu'an is still in the community?! She already knows that we instigated those people to cause trouble for her. So many men can't do anything to her. What's the difference between us going back and walking into a trap!"

Du Hanxu's face turned pale, his eyes widened and he growled.

After hearing what Du Hanxu said, Wang Yayun thought of what she had seen that day. Her lips trembled a few times and she lowered her head.

Previously, they had persuaded the boss of the building in the community to deal with that little jerk Ye Yu'an. They wanted to see Ye Yu'an's miserable appearance with their own eyes, so they found a corner in the place where they surrounded Ye Yu'an and observed secretly.

Who knew that Ye Yu'an seemed like a completely different person, completely different from the helpless image they had in their original impression. She had a cold expression and was agile. People kept falling down as she slashed with her knife. Warm blood splashed on Ye Yu'an's face, but her expression didn't change at all.

Du Hanxu and Wang Yayun witnessed the entire process of Ye Yu'an's murder. They were watching in the dark and felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave. In the temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius, they broke out in cold sweats on their backs.

Fearing that Ye Yu'an would cause trouble for them, Du Hanxu and Wang Yayun did not dare to go back to pack their things. They immediately left the community and fled to the shelter.

Wang Yayun's words touched Du Hanxu's sensitive and fragile nerves.

Du Hanxu, who had lived in a privileged environment since childhood, had never suffered such hardship: not having enough food to eat, living in a room filled with mixed smells, and sleeping on a big bunk bed with thousands of people.

During the day, I hear the ups and downs of quarrels and babies crying. At night, I fall asleep to the sounds of snoring, grinding of teeth, and talking in my sleep.

For two months, there was not a moment of peace in his ears. All these things continued to provoke Du Hanxu's fragile nerves. Wang Yayun's words just now were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, triggering Du Hanxu's repressed emotions.

"I'm sorry, Brother Hanxu, I didn't think carefully about what I said."

Wang Yayun put on a pitiful look and lowered her head to hide the resentment that flashed across her eyes. If she hadn't expected the Du family to take her with them when they came to find him, why would she have to follow them so compromisingly?

"Please be patient for a while. I have already asked the soldiers who went out of the shelter to rescue people. If they can contact my family, then we can leave here and live a good life." Du Hanxu was in a very bad mood. He didn't know whether what he said was to comfort Wang Yayun or himself.

"Well, I will always be with Brother Hanxu."

Wang Yayun seemed not to hear the impatience in his tone. She leaned in Du Hanxu's arms, looking like she was relying on him wholeheartedly, which comforted Du Hanxu's anxious heart a little.

At this time, there are still women willing to follow me wholeheartedly, which is enough to prove my charm.

There are people who have returned from the shelter in the community. Shuxin secretly observed those who have returned through the telescope. From their pale and tired faces, it is not difficult to tell that their life in the shelter was not good.

Shuxin could almost imagine the living conditions in the shelter. The original book had a small description of the official shelters, but that was in the later period of the Extreme Heat.

This time, thanks to Yan Mo's reminder, the authorities were not unprepared, and the shelter was built much earlier.

The time has been advanced, which means that there are more people alive and more people seeking shelter. With more people, resources are limited. To support more people with limited resources, conditions will naturally deteriorate.

I guess the military personnel are now not only searching for victims outside, but also searching for supplies non-stop.

"Xinbao, are you done packing?"

"Okay, come right up!"

Shu Xin quickly grabbed her hair, put on her hat, and went out to meet Yan Mo and the others.

The last person who broke into the community had a gun, which gave them new ideas.

They had guns on them, which could not have been obtained in a foreign country like they did. The only source of guns was the police stations in various areas of City A.

All police stations are equipped with armories according to their functional areas, and are equipped with a certain number of guns according to the number of police officers. The number of guns they carry just happens to match the number of guns equipped in a police station.

The police stations are scattered around, and there are not many guns and ammunition inside, so there is still time to collect them later. Their main target is several large armories in City A.

There is no need to explain the importance of City A before the end of the world. The weapons equipped in the armory must be the latest and most comprehensive.

Because of family reasons, Yan Mo knew the locations of armories in various areas of City A very well. Their destination today was the armory closest to their community, which was also the largest armory in City A.

At this time, a special forces team drove into City A from another direction, and their target was also the largest armory in City A.
