Gunshots?
Lu Qin looked confused.
She was certain it was a real gun. She had never touched a gun before, but in her previous life, the base had allowed access to guns, so they were quite common. Accustomed to the sound of gunfire, she could naturally tell it was a real gun.
So now the question is where did the gunshots come from?
Lu Qin carefully stuck his head out and saw a familiar off-road vehicle with its lights on, slowly approaching from a distance in the snowy night.
Isn’t this the military off-road vehicle that delivered food to her last time?
Lu Qin felt like he had met a relative and had never been so happy.
"What's going on?" Liang Shuyu also asked.
"Mom is fine now. I saw the military vehicle that delivered vegetables to our house last time. I wondered if the troops from the mountain had returned!"
"Is it Xiaoqu and the others who are back?" Liang Shuyu was also pleasantly surprised. "That's great! The troops are back, and it looks like the leadership is still in chaos! I was saying, those people are so rampant, they'll all go to jail!"
Lu Qin shook her head helplessly, seeing that the SUV was approaching and the roar of the car's engine was getting closer and closer. In fact, as soon as the gunshot was heard, the group of people below who were trying to illegally break into her house all felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other, at a loss.
Guo Gang was also a little surprised and confused. He was just a small security guard. The two days of comfortable life in the doomsday made him arrogant and a little out of touch. In normal times, he had never seen such a scene.
When the SUV stopped in front of them, its bright lights trained directly on them. Three fully armed soldiers swiftly stepped out of the vehicle, each holding a gun. Guo Gang had only one thought in his mind: "It's over."
......
The arrival of the off-road vehicle seemed to indicate the outpost where the troops were stationed.
One after another, huge military heavy trucks braved the wind and snow and entered the community that night.
The soldiers who got off the car took control of the situation in the entire community in a short while. Before dawn, the entire "Self-Help Association" dispersed with the arrest of its president Zhang Jintao.
Lu Qin stood on the third-floor balcony of the activity center that was originally the base of the self-help association, feeling a little emotional.
She had been battling wits and courage with the gangsters in the first half of the night, but they were completely wiped out in one encounter. She looked up at a few passing soldiers and curled her lips. Well, it's good to have a gun.
Of course, she was just watching with envy. Those people outside weren't even on the same level as Zhang Jintao, a half-witted clown. They were the future elite "base guards" of Rongcheng Base. Besides, they weren't the kind of superiors who only knew how to exploit the people, so she had nothing to worry about.
"Come, have a cup of hot milk to calm your nerves." Xu Mingyan smiled and handed the milk to Lu Qin and her daughter. "I heard that you, a little girl, beat those people to the ground. One of them even had a gash on his head."
Lu Qin shook her head. It wasn't that mysterious. She just used her position advantage to knock down two petty thieves.
"Sister Yan, are Wu Ge and his troops going to base here? I see the army has arrived." Lu Qin deliberately asked, changing the subject. In fact, she already knew it and just asked casually.
Xu Mingyan shook her head and complained, "I don't know either. Your brother Wu didn't tell me this. Where does he have the free time? He came here but didn't even enter the house."
"Ah, being a military wife is just too hard." Lu Qin smiled and comforted, "Sister Yan, Brother Wu really cares about you. Didn't you say before that you could hold it in for two more days? Seeing that you were in danger, Brother Wu came several days early."
Some time ago, Xu Mingyan mentioned to Lu Qin during a casual chat that the troops encountered a snowstorm on the way and were delayed on their journey back to Antu County. They were expected to return a few days later than originally planned, but now they have returned ahead of schedule.
"He doesn't care about that. It's just the situation that's turbulent." After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "I can hear something's wrong. They came back this time for some reason."
"Inside story?"
"Hush..." Xu Mingyan moved closer. "I heard from my husband that when Rongcheng was in turmoil, they were all transferred there to maintain order. Now... I'm afraid things are not going well everywhere. Their troops don't belong to Rongcheng, so they were sent back."
"Ah?" Lu Qin was surprised.
Although she was a reborn person, but... she had never heard of such explosive news.
After thinking about it, Sister Yan's husband is an officer of the 756th Unit. There is no need to deceive myself. So, was the 756th Unit squeezed out in the first place and chose its old nest Antu County as its initial base?
Lu Qin smelled a hint of gossip. It turned out that there was a story behind the prosperity of Rongcheng Base in the future! What a shocking gossip.
But I am just an ordinary citizen, and the most important thing right now is to count the people in the community.
That’s right, maybe because of his bravery just now, or maybe because of Xu Mingyan’s recommendation, he was temporarily assigned a task by the army, which was to register the information of the residents in the community with Xu Mingyan.
I heard that the government has distributed emergency relief supplies, and anyone with a resident ID card can get one.
It was a belated government rescue.
She knew the government had distributed relief supplies during the second snowfall, but she hadn't expected the relief supplies in Antu County to be personally delivered and distributed by the army.
After Lu Qin finished drinking the milk, it was still dawn. Thinking about the large number of people in the community, the workload was still very heavy, so she and Xu Mingyan started the registration work in the dim candlelight.
The hall was still crowded with people who had long since moved into the activity center. These people were among the earliest to join the Self-Help Association. Even if they hadn't committed any specific wrongdoing, seeing the core members of the Self-Help Association arrested, they were still a little worried, unsure of what would happen to them.
Lu Qin and the other two were registering these people. The information registration was very detailed and complicated, and although it was a bit hesitant, Lu Qin, as a clerk who had done this kind of work for many years, soon became familiar with it.
Although somewhat busy, the two were still in a relaxed and cheerful mood. With the arrival of the army, they felt reassured and relieved, no longer having to worry about potential attacks from more malicious individuals. After a while, the two of them even started chatting.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoqin, you really don't consider your sister Yan as your own, do you?"
Lu Qin was a little confused: "Ah? Sister Yan, this is unfair. What's wrong with me?"
Xu Mingyan looked at the person in front of her pressing his fingerprints, and said mysteriously: "Why don't you tell the truth? I just heard that the people from the Self-Help Society were arrested. When they heard that a group of people broke into your house, Qu Tuan took two personal soldiers to rescue them without saying a word. Tell me, what is your relationship with Qu Tuan? Hey? We are not going to be military wives, are we?" After saying that, she winked at Lu Qin.
Lu Qin held his forehead with his hand.
Her sister Yan is good in every way, but after getting to know her for a long time, I found that women are gossipy by nature!
"There's nothing between Commander Qu and me. His house just happens to be next to mine, so we can barely be considered neighbors, right? Maybe he's afraid that his family will be harmed..." Lu Qin explained.
"Really?" Xu Mingyan was a little skeptical. "By the way, Captain Qu is a pretty good guy. I've heard my wife mention him too. He's young, half a grade higher than our Old Wu, and has a bright future. He's a good guy, and there are a lot of young girls eyeing him! You better keep an eye out for him."
"Sister Yan..." Lu Qin was helpless. How should she explain that she and Qu Dongbo were really just neighbors?
