spooky invasion

Chapter 402 Clues triggered by milk powder

On the way back to the villa in Daozixiang, Jiang Yue led Han Jingjing through the streets and alleys, avoiding guard posts one after another.

The so-called martial law can only be used against ordinary human beings. For awakened people like them, this level of martial law is not enough to affect them.

"Jingjing, this way."

Jiang Yue skillfully brought Han Jingjing to an unfamiliar street.

At the entrance of a mother and baby store, Jiang Yue stopped in his tracks.

Although the rolling gate of the store was pulled down to the end, Jiang Yue could tell at a glance that it was not locked.

"The door is not closed?" Han Jingjing inspected the rolling gate and found that the lock of the rolling gate was broken.

It can be seen that this place should have been patronized before Jiang Yue and the others arrived.

The strange era has been so long, and although Star City has not completely collapsed, the order must have deteriorated a lot. Sneaking, smashing and looting, even if it does not happen in a large area, must be sporadic.

"This...was someone forcibly destroying it?" Han Jingjing was a little unsure, and wanted to pull the shutter up.

This action was stopped by Jiang Yue.

"There are people inside." Jiang Yue said softly.

Jiang Yue took a step closer, reached out and tapped on the door twice, his voice was neither urgent nor slow: "Friend, don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions."

Jiang Yue was much more experienced than Han Jingjing, he calculated exactly where the people in the room were standing.

Although I can't see the specific state of the other party, but I can almost figure it out in my mind. The other party must have a nervous face, and even wield a weapon in his hand. Standing behind the rolling gate, as long as someone opens the gate, he will greet him directly. come up.

Of course Jiang Yue would not give the opponent this chance to sneak attack.

After calculating the opponent's position, he deliberately staggered the distance, tiptoed to the edge of the store, and raised and pushed his palm up.

The rolling shutter door swiped, and Jiang Yue was directly caught by it.

The person in the room was holding an iron rod in his hand, and was gnashing his teeth and preparing to launch an attack, but he was embarrassed to find that Jiang Yue was standing one or two meters away from him.

At this time, Jiang Yue also saw the appearance of the other party clearly, she was actually a woman in her thirties.She has a strong body, but she has fair skin, which is a bit of a beauty. It is a very common image of women in Star City.

In the corner, there is also a five or six-year-old boy, who should be the woman's son.

The moment the door was pushed open, the little boy probed his head and couldn't help but open his head outside. His little face tried his best to put on a fierce look, as if he was supporting his mother in this way.

"Duo Duo, don't come out." The woman hurriedly shouted when she saw that her son was about to come out at any time.

At the same time, like a hen guarding the calf, he stood guard at the door of the store, staring at Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing with a ferocious expression on his face.

The hands holding the iron rod even had blue veins and were trembling slightly.

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous, we really mean nothing." Han Jingjing could also see that the woman was in a state of high tension.

Although it is a strange era, there is still a market for the concept of beauty and justice.

A combination of handsome men and beautiful women like Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing, with their extraordinary auras, probably doesn't look like a bad guy in the eyes of this woman.

But even so, the woman did not relax her vigilance.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Han Jingjing took two steps back in a friendly manner, and explained: "We have no other intentions, just like buying a few cans of milk powder."

Buy milk powder?
The woman probably didn't expect that Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing would come here for this purpose, and she was a little skeptical for a while.

"This shop is no longer open." Although the woman did not explicitly refuse, the implication was obvious.

Jiang Yue glanced at the inside of the house. This baby store is not particularly large, but it also has all kinds of baby products.

There is a special milk powder counter for milk powder, but there seems to be not much milk powder on the counter, and the milk powder counter seems a bit empty.

But Jiang Yue soon realized that this was definitely not a sell-out of milk powder.

Either the milk powder was robbed by someone, or it was put away.

"Sister-in-law, we don't want much, just a few cans. You can set the price whatever you want. I know that at this time, we can't buy anything at the normal market price, so we can pay double or even multiple times the price."

Han Jingjing still tried to negotiate, hoping to impress the shopkeeper in front of her with her sincerity.

The woman glanced back at her child, but shook her head cruelly.

At the same time, he looked at Han Jingjing with some strange eyes.

Apparently, the woman also found it strange that these two young boys and girls obviously did not look like a married couple, let alone having children.

What do you want milk powder for?
But she didn't ask, obviously she didn't want to provoke these disputes.I just want to guard my one-acre three-point land.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue knew that Han Jingjing's tone would definitely not be convincing.

He didn't want to use force on a woman with a child, and he couldn't do such a thing.

But that doesn't mean he has nothing to do.

He looked around the store, and when he saw the little boy, he took a few extra glances.

"This kid is not bad, a bit courageous. It's a pity..."

The woman's nerves were in a state of high tension at the moment, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard Jiang Yue comment on her child.Hearing the word pity again, her whole face changed.

He thought Jiang Yue was going to use brute force to threaten her with her child.

I couldn't help but shake my heart, why don't I sell them two cans of milk powder?
"It's a pity that in such a troubled world, such a thin rolling gate, not to mention preventing evil monsters, just a stronger villain, it can't prevent it. It's a mess these days. People don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts. Sister-in-law, you A woman with a child, I see enough."

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

This woman is just a businessman, not the same as a killer, even if she is pretending to be fierce, she is pretending after all.

Not to mention Jiang Yue, he was just an ordinary strong man who could send her a few meters away with a single slap.

In the sunny age, there is law and order, so orphans and widows naturally don't have to worry about being bullied.

But now?

What Jiang Yue said was exactly what the woman was most worried about and feared in the depths of her heart.

As long as there are footsteps approaching, she will feel anxious all over her body, fearing that the next moment will be the end.

For their mother and son, Doomsday is not an evil monster. Any bad person, in today's world, may become Doomsday.

"It would be better if you lived at home. But you just hide in the store, and there are milk powder and supplementary food in the store. Doesn't this mean telling the bad guys directly, can you come to my place to rob?"

"A woman, a child...Jingjing, can you imagine what the consequences would be if crazy bad guys broke in?"

Han Jingjing thought about it for a while, and felt that the consequences would be disastrous.

"Sister-in-law, this is indeed a problem. Why don't you go home? There are anti-theft doors at home, and they don't attract people's eyes. It's safer than hiding in a store, right?"

"I..." The woman bit her lips tightly, probably the soft part of her heart was touched by Han Jingjing's words.

I almost lost control of my emotions for a while, my eyes turned red, and tears almost rolled down.

"Sister-in-law, don't think of me as a bad person. We are students of Yangfan Middle School, and we really don't mean any harm. The milk powder was bought for our teacher's doll. The child is almost finished drinking milk powder, poor thing."

The woman was probably convinced by Han Jingjing's sincerity, and also saw that Han Jingjing really didn't look like a bad person.

He walked back to the store silently and took out a box from inside.

There are six cans of milk powder in the box, all of which are stage two.

"Here you go, hurry up." The woman's tone was still a little blunt, obviously she didn't want to appear too friendly in front of strangers.

She was afraid that if she was too friendly, the other party would take an inch.

"Sister-in-law, how much do you count?"

"No money, you guys go away."

Han Jingjing still wanted to insist on paying, but was stopped by Jiang Yue.

At this time, people probably don't care about money or not.

Han Jingjing was somewhat embarrassed to take someone's box of milk powder for no reason.You don't get paid for nothing.

She still couldn't help but want to make amends, and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, it's really not safe for you to stay in the store, or you'd better go home. At this time, money and wealth are all belongings outside the body. You can only get what you have."

The woman obviously felt Han Jingjing's kindness, her lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but in the end she shook her head dejectedly and waved her hands weakly.

"You guys really need to leave quickly, otherwise the milk powder won't be able to be taken away."

"What do you mean?"

Han Jingjing was taken aback, hearing this tone, isn't this shop owned by this sister-in-law?
"Hey, you just don't want to leave? I don't want your money anymore, what else do you want? Let me tell you, when those people come again, not only will you not be able to take the milk powder with you, but you will also have bad luck."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Before the woman could speak, the boy yelled, "Some bad guys broke the lock of my house. They were very brutal and wanted to take all our things away."

The woman quickly covered the little boy's mouth and shouted: "Duo Duo, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing the woman's secretive appearance, both Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing guessed that there might be something hidden here.

"Sister-in-law, if you trust us, can you tell me what's going on?" Han Jingjing was kind-hearted, and she always felt that she couldn't sit idly by when she received a box of milk powder.

"Hey, what's the use of telling you? They carry guns and hang official signs, saying that they want to take over everything in our store."

"Official?" Jiang Yue and Han Jingjing looked at each other.

Immediately understood what was going on.

Star City is currently under food control. It stands to reason that various wholesale centers and reserve bases, including various non-staple food stores and large supermarkets, should all be within the scope of takeover.

But never imagined that even baby and children's stores would be included in the scope of takeover so quickly?

"Sister-in-law, do they have anything to say about taking over? For example, compensation, or other corresponding measures?"

The woman wiped her eyes, trying not to shed tears: "They are really fierce, they have nothing to say, they just want to take over. They have already gone back to mobilize the carts, and they should be coming soon. If you don't leave, wait They'll be in trouble when they come back."

Han Jingjing murmured: "This is lawless. Is this called taking over? This is clearly robbery. It is murder for money."

Although she spoke radically, she was really right.

If the mother and son stick to the milk powder and complementary food in the store, as well as various health care products for infants and young children, they will have no problem sticking to it for a year or so.

But if all the things in the store are directly requisitioned, how can the mother and son survive?Maybe I will starve that night.

Perhaps, there is a clear plan for the official takeover and unified deployment.

But in the hands of the people below who implement them, these plans are just a few lines of words, and when they are actually implemented, is it still up to the people to order?
When encountering such orphans and widowed mothers, can they really be allocated?
It would be nice not to have a bad idea.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you go home?"

"Home? We country people open a small shop in the city. The shop is home, and the home is the shop. Besides, now that Star City is under martial law, we can't go back to the countryside even if we want to." After opening the psychological defense line, he couldn't help complaining.

"Jiang Yue, what do you think we should do?" Han Jingjing couldn't think of any good ideas for a moment.

If her father is still in Star City, of course she can use this relationship to help.But now she can't use her strength at all, because it is not her father who promulgates the martial law policy.It was Deputy Chief Wan and Xie Fuzheng.

"It's actually easy to handle."

Jiang Yue glanced back, and said in a casual tone: "There are so many houses here, it may not be that every household is inhabited. Just find a house that does not live all year round, and just live in it. These days, there is no owner for a while. Forever lost."

Han Jingjing murmured: "Can I still do this?"

The woman was even more surprised. Jiang Yue's tone made her feel lawless and unscrupulous. Could he be a bad person?

"What's wrong? It's safer than staying in this store, right? But if sister-in-law thinks it's safer in this store and has the heart to bring the child here and wait for the bad guys to come to the door, then it's up to you." Jiang Yue said. Indifferent tone and indifferent attitude.

Han Jingjing finds it strange that Jiang Yue is not such a cold-blooded person usually.

Why is the tone so blunt and ruthless?

However, she had a vague feeling that Jiang Yue should use the aggressive method.If the attitude is too positive and friendly, maybe the other party will feel too attentive, is there an attempt?
Maybe this kind of lukewarm scale can make the other party more tempted?
Sure enough, the woman's attitude began to soften.His face was uncertain, probably because he was considering the feasibility of Jiang Yue's proposal.

Her eyes looked at the little boy from time to time, and the hesitation in her eyes slowly dissipated.

After a while, she plucked up her courage and said, "If you can help me find a family to take refuge, I... I'll give you two more boxes of milk powder."

Han Jingjing tugged at Jiang Yue's sleeve: "This is your proposal, you can figure out a way?"

Jiang Yue shrugged: "Go into the room and talk. Don't worry."

"Not in a hurry? If you wait for those people to come, you will have to argue again." Han Jingjing said.

"They are the ones waiting. If they don't come, they will just leave. Don't you worry? You just need to do a little research. There must be many people hiding at home along the road, and you can easily find their mother and child."

"Then what should we do? We can't fight, right? This won't solve the problem either."

"It's very easy to do, but we have to wait until it gets dark. After dark, it's easier to find a house, and you can avoid other people's eyes and ears, and you won't be noticed. It's broad daylight, no matter how concealed you are, there will always be people." I saw it. It doesn’t matter how much you can hide. It’s impossible to avoid everyone’s eyes and ears.”

Han Jingjing saw that the old god Jiang Yue was there, and she looked confident, knowing that Jiang Yue must have specific ideas.

In terms of ability to deal with problems, Han Jingjing asked herself not to compare with Jiang Yue, so as not to seek abuse.

　In this chapter, the name of the little boy is inconsistent. It is because I have mixed up my memory and thought of other characters.It has been revised and unified called Duoduo.
