Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 77 Dark Night Threat
At noon, the sound of car engines was heard from afar in the distant lane. Wang Jie quickly turned off the headlights on his car. Su Yun and Su Zhangming also turned off their mobile phones and listened carefully to the noise. As the car group passed by, they could still see the headlights in the dark from afar. Su Yun counted them silently in his mind. There were 18 military trucks. They were the group of people led by Liang Cancan. It was estimated that some people and cars were left behind to watch over the remaining food.
Two hours later, we saw the convoy heading towards the abandoned village again. This time there were 30 vehicles, and they did not return until 3 pm. We guessed that they had finished the transportation.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Jie drove into the base. Following the headlights, he saw that the doors of many tenants in the East District Trading Center had been broken open. It was estimated that the merchants who had been open for a while had suffered heavy losses.
Driving the car is very eye-catching. There are often people who are not afraid of death rushing in front of the car to beg for food, and there are even many adults who send their children to school kneeling and crying, begging them to adopt them. Su Yun always feels uncomfortable every time this happens. As a mother, she had searched for her child for many years in her previous life but couldn't find it. Some people would exchange their children for a bite to eat, or they have good intentions and want to find a better family to adopt their children so that they won't starve to death.
The base has never been out of relief food since it was opened. Even though the relief food is getting less and less, it is still much better than having to fend for yourself outside the base.
No one knew how much she had suffered in her last life as a wanderer wandering between bases, how much she had gone hungry, and even how many times she had been on the verge of death. So in this life, she had to stay in the base. At least the country would not ignore the major bases. Regardless of welfare or safety, the bases were the last place for disaster victims to stay.
The car drove to the South District. The houses in the South District had collapsed and there was no time to deal with them. The whole area was in ruins. Wang Jie looked at the crumbling buildings and did not dare to drive the car too close, for fear that the slightest movement would cause a chain reaction of building collapse. He just found a remote place, turned off the lights, and Su Yun put the car into the space and took out three infrared night vision goggles. The base was pitch black, and no matter what light was on, it would attract attention. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they thought that the night vision goggles were still very useful. Although the visible light at night was very weak, the infrared rays that were invisible to the human eye were very rich, which basically met their travel requirements.
In the pitch-black darkness, the three of them moved forward slowly. Seeing that the guards on duty had gone around them in advance, Su Zhangming could not help but whispered: Sister, why don’t you take out this thing earlier so that I can go out for a walk anytime.
Su Yun: There are too many things in the space, and I had forgotten where I put them in the room a long time ago. If it weren’t inconvenient to turn on the lights and fire, I wouldn’t have remembered.
Su Zhangming: Sister, what other good things have you got that can be used? Go back and take inventory and don’t forget them.
Su Yun: Yes, there are quite a few. The windproof lighters and scrap metal we stockpiled before are quite good and can be sold to the base.
Wang Jie: Let's use Sun Wu Kong's account to sell some. We used a lot of points to buy land last time. This time we only want weapons when selling food, so let's save some points.
Su Yun thought it would be a good idea to save some points for emergencies. After all, points are used throughout Dragon Country, not just in this base: Yes, you can, don’t go directly to the base to redeem them, go find Brother Dao.
As they were chatting, they walked to the West District. When they reached the door, they saw that the lights in the Jiang family opposite were still on. Su Yun clicked his tongue twice. They were really high-profile. This family was really brave since the polar night. They didn't shy away from the fact that they had supplies at home. It seemed that the generator had never stopped.
Su Zhangming liked gossip, so he went to inquire about it. He learned that Mr. Jiang on the opposite side had earned a lot of points by using expired medicines, and had exchanged land with the base. He also got a lot of supplies from somewhere and kept them at home. As a result, he heard that several waves of thieves had sneaked in and wanted to occupy the base. But it was strange that all those people disappeared, without even a corpse.
The more Su Zhangming inquired, the more strange it seemed to him. How could it be so similar to a missing persons case? So he paid extra attention to the other party.
Su Yun also asked her family to be on high alert. She felt that Mr. Jiang was not as simple as he seemed. He looked like a smiling tiger and could get along with anyone, but she always felt that he had some thoughts hidden beneath the mask.
And from the few times they met, it seemed that Zhou Dan, who was beside her, was not easy to get along with either.
When Su's father and mother saw them coming back, they hurried over to ask about it. Only when they knew that everything was going well did they feel relieved.
After three months of rest, Su Ma's legs had recovered. She felt bored staying at home, so she often went to chat with Aunt Wang. Sometimes she even asked Aunt Wang to come home to work on the sewing machine together, making close-fitting purses and straps for everyone to hold little stars.
Aunt Wang sometimes washed the rags picked up from everyone's homes, and then used the needle and thread provided by Aunt Su to sew new clothes for everyone. Thanks to Xiaojing who often reminded her of the splicing and color matching, the finished products were never too ugly.
The men of the Flying Dragon Team wore their new clothes happily, feeling happier than honey. In this day and age, being able to wear clothes tailored by themselves was much better than those disaster victims in the North District.
Little Xingxing not only learned to walk, but also called Su Yun "godmother" sweetly. Every time, Su Yun would hold her in her arms and spin around, and then secretly give her a candy bean to eat.
The little cousin has been acting a little unusual lately, always going to Lanlan's house. Su Yun takes the opportunity to see him looking at Lanlan with an ambiguous look in his eyes. He asks Lanlan about it privately, but Lanlan always evades the question and says that it's not the case. Su Yun thinks that she probably doesn't have that hurdle in her heart. After all, his physical defect has made him feel inferior for too long. He has heard Lanlan say many times before that she doesn't want to get married. Su Yun understands her concerns and feels that it's no big deal to not have a man and that one can live comfortably alone.
But if the time comes, she really wants to see Lanlan find her own little happiness.
When Li Yimin saw that Liang Cancan had really brought back 750 tons of rice, the haze in his heart dissipated and he immediately re-planned the materials. In order to make more effective use of the food, he decided not to implement indiscriminate collection. The base no longer had the ability to support idle people, and everyone must contribute, and everything must have rules.
There is still more than a month left before the date given by his superiors for restoring light. He has already drawn up a plan and the road repair must be completed as soon as possible. He cannot sit idly by and wait for death.
The troops then selected several road repair vanguard teams to open roads, transport, fill land, provide logistical supplies, etc. They led the people in the base to go out to carry out repair tasks. Only those who were willing to go out to repair roads could be allocated relief food. Those who could not go out were sent to deal with the ruins in the southern area, and some were sent to repair the collapsed mud walls. Those who could not do anything would no longer be given relief food by the base as the base could not afford to support idle people.
Li Yimin sent the plan to his superiors, who approved it soon and also praised it. Many bases were at the end of their rope and all their reports were requesting support, but Gui K Base was the only one that persisted in trying to save itself.
A month passed in a blink of an eye. One night, Su Yun got up to go to the toilet and saw that the lights were still on in the Jiang family opposite. As it was day and night, there was nothing strange about it. However, the black silhouette printed behind the orange-yellow curtains made Su Yun pause and his heart pounded violently. He quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand, turned sideways to the window and stared at the opposite side.
The black silhouette showed a tall figure holding a gun and pointing it at another man's head. Su Yun analyzed the figure's appearance and concluded that the man whose head was being pointed at was none other than Mr. Jiang, the male owner of the opposite house. At this moment, he had his hands raised above his head, looking like he was begging for mercy. The man holding the gun should be a man, who was a head taller than Mr. Jiang, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and looked like the cartoon characters that Su Yun occasionally read. Pah, pah, pah, what is he thinking about?
Should I call the police at this time? But the other party has a gun. Although Su Yun also has a gun, he has no chance to use it, and he is still a coward.
I quietly put on my night vision goggles and discovered that there were seven or eight sturdy men hiding in the dark in the house opposite. I thought that Mr. Jiang next door might be in great danger.
I don’t know what they talked about on the other side. I just saw Mr. Jiang seemed to be leaning over the table writing something. Soon the man with the gun put down the gun, took it from Mr. Jiang, and the silhouette disappeared.
Soon a group of people came out of the house. Su Yun bought the 4th generation night vision goggles, which allowed him to clearly see the facial features of the leader on the opposite side. The man seemed to realize that someone was observing him, so he stopped and turned his head to look towards the Su family.
Su Yun squatted down and hid under the window sill. She was almost scared to scream. Wasn't that man her college classmate Di Rong? It turned out that her guess was right. The other party was really not a good person. He even had a pistol and ran to the opposite side in the middle of the night to threaten her with a gun.
The memory in my mind that was blocked by drugs suddenly became clear. It was Di Rong. He hugged me that night. It turned out that I was released because they were old acquaintances.
When Su Yun looked across again, Di Rong had disappeared into the darkness and was nowhere to be found.
He tiptoed back to the bedroom in the attic, woke up the sleeping Wang Jie, and told him everything he had seen outside and thought. Wang Jie was no longer sleepy, so he picked up his phone and called Liang Cancan, telling her everything they knew.
Liang Cancan was resting in the dormitory, but when he received Wang Jie's call, he became five points less sleepy. He knew the temperament of the Flying Dragon Team. They would not call unless there was something important, and if they called, there must be something important.
After understanding the whole story, he immediately contacted the guards at the entrance and exit of the base, paid attention to the group of people Su Yun mentioned, and retrieved the base's data again to check the entry and exit records.
No record, how did this person get in? The guard post at the gate replied that no suspicious person was seen leaving. Liang Cancan was more certain that they had other secret passages in and out of the base. The missing people case in the base was probably closely related to their secret passages.
I remembered that Brother Dao had been doing business as a profiteer and had actually walked around the entire base during this period. Plus, he was a local and knew the situation of this town better. So I called him and told him about the clues I had found this time.
When Brother Dao received the call, he wanted to catch those people immediately and ask about the whereabouts of his fiancée and mother. He had been dealing in second-hand goods for the past few months, but he was actually observing the various personnel in the base. He even found a few suspicious people. Those people obviously had no ability to eat and looked lazy, but they lived a better life than others.
The vast majority of those who disappeared mysteriously were women between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Children are mostly firm and plump, while skinny people are less likely to be targeted. Moreover, when they disappeared, it was probably a gang-sponsored crime using drugs, so there were almost no signs of fighting at the scene.
No matter how vigilant we are, we are always unable to guard against them and we can't find any clues about those people. They seem to be hiding among the victims. They have no specific characteristics and are difficult to identify.
Today was a major discovery. Not long after, Liang Cancan brought a dozen armed soldiers and surrounded Mr. Jiang's house opposite. Their flashlights and torches were too bright, and many families nearby were watching the fun. The Feilong Team was also awakened and climbed through the windows to look at Mr. Jiang's house.
Jiang Haojie had just been threatened by Di Rong with a gun to his head tonight. Before he had even gotten over the cold sweat, Liang Cancan took him to the living room at gunpoint for questioning, and he was so scared that he almost wet his pants.
Zhou Dan was frightened the whole night. She hid in the bedroom with her two children and didn't dare go out, for fear of displeasing the King of Hell. Knowing that Liang Cancan appeared, her sharp eyes were like a knife stabbing them, and they hurriedly followed her to the living room to be questioned.
Liang Cancan looked at the four people sitting on the sofa with pale faces, looked down at them, and said sternly: Tell me, what happened tonight? Who did you meet?
Although Mr. Jiang had sold a batch of expired drugs to the base before Ji Ye and earned a lot of points, that batch of drugs also greatly alleviated the medical gap in the base and was considered a contribution to the base. He should have been treated well, but the matter of missing people was no trivial matter. Liang Cancan couldn't bear the anger in her heart whenever she thought of the women who were taken away.
Jiang Haojie knew that what happened tonight had been exposed, so he shrank his head, wondering whether it would be more miserable to tell it or to keep it a secret.
Finally, he decided to tell half of the story, so as not to offend the base or Di Rong, so that both sides could have an explanation: I said, I said, the person who came to see me tonight is called Di Lao Da, a customer who buys medicine. I had an appointment to deliver medicine to him, but the earthquake came and I couldn't contact him, so I sold his medicine in bulk. He came to me to get the goods tonight, but I didn't have any medicine to give him. He threatened me that he would kill my whole family if I didn't give it to him. Finally, I had no choice but to give him the address of the warehouse where the medicine was hidden and let him go to get it himself. Captain Liang, I am actually a victim too. They also have guns, so I dare not mess with them.
Liang Cancan was half-believing and half-doubting. Jiang Haojie was a drug store owner before the natural disaster and had a wealthy family. He came here after the disaster and relied on the drugs he had stockpiled before to resell at high prices. At the moment, no one thought he was a black-hearted businessman, but only praised him for his good ability.
Liang Cancan asked: What medicine did he and you buy? Make a list.
Jiang Haojie was indeed experienced. After he finished speaking, he was no longer afraid. He listed dozens of common external and internal medicines, most of which were wound medicines or antipyretics. But in fact, Di Rong needed many banned drugs in addition to these common wound medicines.
Drugs like amphetamines, cocaine, morphine, pethidine, blood stimulants, prolactin, progesterone and hallucinogenic drugs cannot be disclosed. Of course, he knows the harm these drugs do to the human body. Di Rong's private industry requires a large amount of banned drugs to support it. Ever since he knew that he had channels in this regard, they have been pestering him, forcing them to eat human flesh and join the Illuminati. Even his son and daughter could not avoid it and were all forced to join the Illuminati.
The Illuminati did have a lot of supplies from burning, killing and looting. He used his advantage as a dealer to accumulate some Illuminati points, and used the points to exchange for a lot of good things that were not available in the base. His life was exceptionally comfortable, but the Illuminati needed more and more medicines. Before the earthquake, he could get supplies from major stockists, but after the earthquake, the roads were cut off, and the drug dealers hiding in the dark were killed or injured, so the supply chain was mostly broken. It would definitely be difficult to get the medicines now.
This time Di Rong wanted him to hand over the list of names of those underground drug dealers, which was the capital for his survival. At first, he thought of writing down a few names randomly. Anyway, with the earthquake and the polar night, it was difficult to find anyone. Unexpectedly, the other party only made a phone call and reported the information, and the truth was exposed in just ten minutes. Di Rong pulled out a gun and pointed it at him without saying a word. He panicked and quickly wrote out the real list and handed it over, thus saving his life.
After listening to Jiang Haojie's prescription, Liang Cancan asked in a deep voice: Mr. Jiang, do you think I'm easy to fool?
