This time, in addition to checking the traps, everyone also made some other preparations.

There are more and more survivors outside, and they are united by the residents of the "villa area" to resist. Conflicts among so many people are bound to break out sooner or later, so the four of them cannot be too careful.

After discussing for a long time, everyone decided to use the acid rain bottle that had been used before in Tiantai Community.

The bottles of acid rain that were previously displayed in the open have been used up, but Shi Jiaojiao still hid some in the space.

Now that space is no longer a secret, there is no need to hide these things anymore.

Wang Jia was pleasantly surprised when she saw these acid rain bottles, but after the surprise, she felt regretful: "If we had known earlier, we should have prepared more acid rain bottles. Now where can we find such a good weapon to hurt people?"

Shi Jiaojiao was also a little helpless.

Who could have expected then that I would be so trusting of others now and willing to share the secrets of the space?

But it’s no use saying this now, after all, time cannot be reversed.

The four of them didn't talk much and hurried to add another line of defense to their yard.

Soon, a string of acid rain bottles were hung around the perimeter of the wall. Because they were hung on the top and it was pitch black outside, ordinary people could not see them at all.

The darkness also concealed the movements of the four people.

The mouths of these acid rain bottles are connected by a wire, which goes directly through the wall and directly into the second floor.

If someone comes and pulls the lever here, all the acid rain outside will pour out.

Because we don't know when the conflict will occur, all the acid rain bottles this time are sealed with a layer of plastic to prevent evaporation and not affect the use of the acid rain bottles.

And for the next three days, everything outside was calm.

As expected, He Yan and his team's joint proposal was rejected by the base. The patrolling soldiers simply could not spare enough energy to specifically defend the "villa area".

Although there are not too many courtyards in the villa area, there are still a lot of them when added up. In addition, the area of ​​the courtyards themselves is not small, so this area is still quite old.

The larger the area, the more difficult it is to defend.

Unless a wall is built around the villa area and soldiers are stationed to guard it, there is no way to prevent ordinary survivors from approaching.

However, the base is also afraid of trouble, so the patrol teams stationed in this area have been moving very frequently in the past two days.

Because of the soldiers' suppression, everything is still under control, but the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense day by day.

That day, Tang Wei closed the door and sent Tang Tianlin, who had just come to visit with gifts, out.

In the past two days, not only Tang Tianlin and He Yan, but also other neighbors around came to say hello from time to time. Moreover, no one came empty-handed. All of them brought gifts and had smiles on their faces, just like the hospitable neighbors before the end of the world.

Of course, Shi Jiaojiao and the others did not lack these things. They confiscated all the gifts, but they did not hit anyone who smiled at them. Since they came with smiles on their faces, they could only send them away in a nice tone.

Tang Wei recalled the milk powder that Tang Tianlin had in his hand just now and couldn't help shaking his head.

Milk powder is so expensive nowadays that ordinary survivors cannot buy it even with their points. In other people’s eyes, it is just a trivial gift for visiting relatives and friends.

But the more valuable the gift is, the less they dare to accept it.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Besides, they didn't want to get involved with others.

Tang Wei was a little confused: "What are they doing? Isn't their attitude too good?"

Even though they refused every time, no one seemed angry.

It's not like before. We still care about neighborly harmony. What do they mean?

Is there any conspiracy?

Shi Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "They just want us to be their thugs. If there is any danger, they will be safer with us in the front."

After hearing this, Wang Jia cursed: "What are they dreaming about? They are using us as human shields without even considering whether they are worthy or not!"

Tang Wei said, "No wonder there has been a lot of activity from the new residents who moved in these past two days, in addition to us."

Shi Jiaojiao nodded: "As for thugs, the more the better."

Mu Ci, who was sitting on the side, said, "Everyone, please don't go out for the next two days. The patrols are becoming more and more frequent. Something must be happening."

The others nodded solemnly.

To be honest, they really don't want to fight against the survivors. We are all poor people struggling to survive in the apocalypse, so why kill each other?

This principle is simple to say, but some people simply cannot listen to it. Jealousy has burned their eyes red, and they cannot tell right from wrong.

Shi Jiaojiao also received a call from Qin Jun, who told the four of them to stay at home and not go out.

From then on, Shi Jiaojiao and her three friends stayed indoors and refused to even answer the neighbors who knocked on the door.

Other people in the "villa area" also sensed that the atmosphere was not right and they all hid in their homes, pinning their hopes on the patrolling soldiers while secretly cursing the survivors who were causing trouble.

I don’t know if the suppression of the base was too effective or if the survivors had figured it out, but five days passed and nothing happened.

Some people even tried to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and when they came back they found that they did not encounter any danger, so they finally put their minds at ease.

Shi Jiaojiao and the other three remained indoors. If no one paid special attention, almost everyone would forget that there was a yard here and that there were people living inside.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and just when everyone thought everything was safe, the riot broke out.

Shi Jiaojiao was lying on the bed at that time. It was ten o'clock in the evening, time to go to bed.

Although there is no difference between day and night now, in order not to disrupt their daily routine, everyone has their own way to remind themselves.

Shi Jiaojiao and her three friends placed two mobile phones upstairs and downstairs. Although they couldn't make calls, the alarm clock could be used normally.

There will be music playing at every time, whether eating, waking up, or going to bed.

And Wang Jia didn't know where he got the music from, but the music he played was the same music they used to play when they did radio gymnastics when they were kids.

Every time Shi Jiaojiao heard this, she tried hard to control herself from "taking off like a young eagle."

At this point in time, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci had just laid down for a while, and it was quiet outside.

But no one knew what happened, and everyone suddenly heard a cry for help from afar.

What followed was the sound of breaking glass, fighting, screaming, and howling.

Shi Jiaojiao immediately jumped up from the bed and pulled aside the curtains on the second floor to look over.

Because the second floor was on a high ground, and the walls of other courtyards had not been raised like theirs, it was easy to see the flames rising into the sky in the distance.

The pitch-black darkness outside made the fire seem even more dazzling.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei also heard the noise and hurried up to knock on the door.

After Mu Ci opened the door, the four of them stood by the window. After seeing clearly, they were speechless for a moment.

They have been on guard all this time, who would have thought that those ordinary survivors would secretly set a fire at this time.

Don't they want to live anymore?

The sun disappeared, but it doesn’t mean the wind has disappeared too. Aren’t they afraid that the entire base will be destroyed?

The four of them watched silently, and their faces looked a little ugly for a moment.

Although it is still some distance away from here, who knows if the wind will blow sparks over there?

It hasn't rained for a long time and there is a water shortage everywhere. If the fire spreads, I can't imagine what the consequences will be.

Shi Jiaojiao murmured, "It's getting messy."
