Catastrophe

Chapter 100: Homecoming on a Snowy Night

The first snowstorm in the northern wasteland fell without warning, and the gray cloud fell down with low pressure. There were lightning flashes from time to time, and the snowflakes began to fall down the sky. It hurts like a knife.

For the refugees, the blizzard is a mixed blessing, because the melted snow water is filtered and boiled several times before it is drinkable, but the low temperature after the blizzard will also make many people drink Can't stand this cold season.

At this moment, Li Qiang and his party were escorting Fatty Li, Zhao Yi and two old people on their way back to the market town. Originally, Li Qiang didn't trust Zhao Yi very much, so he decided to stay in the wild for the night, but the heavy snow disrupted his plan. He really wanted to catch Ning Zhe, but he didn't want to risk his life to stay in the wild of Blizzard.

In the team, a plainclothes man raised his collar to block the snowflakes pouring inward, shrank his neck and walked to Li Qiang's side, and asked with longing: "Li team, now that we have detained people, can we return? Outpost?"

Li Qiang squinted at the other party and scolded impatiently: "You have a brain? Our mission this time is to arrest Ning Zhe! We have just arrested a few old, weak, sick and disabled people, what are you going back to the post? Do you expect me to use these rotten garlic to deal with Team Kang?"

Plain clothes stretched out his cold palm and rubbed his numb cheeks: "But didn't that woman say that Ning Zhe will not be able to come back in seven days? Hey! I heard that here in the refugee area, many people will freeze to death after every heavy snow! We don't need to fight like this, right?"

"That won't work either! If we take these people in and out of the outer city, once they are met by their acquaintances, things may change unnecessarily!" Li Qiang rubbed his hands and wanted to light a cigarette, but the wind blew his fingers. With a throbbing pain, he put it back in his pocket again: "I know you don't want to stay in the refugee area, do you think I like it? If you want to return to the outpost earlier, the best way is not to complain to me here, but to complain as soon as possible. Catch the scourge of Ning Zhe, understand?"

"Okay, I see." The plainclothes heard that he had to wait for a long time to return to the fortress, and his expression suddenly slumped.

Li Qiang could also feel the low morale in the team, and he changed the conversation: "Well, the environment of the prostitute we lived in before is indeed a little rough, and it is more eye-catching with too many people! Tonight, let's go directly. Xiao Qi's largest prostitution kiln, rest there for a few days! Then you can go back to the outpost at night to get some supplies, and some meat to improve the food for the brothers!"

"Okay!" After listening to Li Qiang's words, the rest of the plainclothes finally became more energetic and quickened their pace unconsciously.

...

On the other side, Ning Zhe, Lin Xun, Wu Hao, and Jiao Baldzi were all dormant on the roof of a private house, staring at the yard in front of them. In order to prevent exposure, they were all motionless and covered with a white layer snowflakes.

That afternoon, Lao Luo had used the Luoyang shovel to determine the veins of the underground passage. This secret passage had two branches. They were located in two courtyards outside the kiln, and they were separated by about 200 meters. At this moment, Li Lin and Ma. 3. The four brothers Ma are guarding another place.

"Ha!" Lin Xun lay on the roof, moved his arms slightly, exhaled into the palm of his hand, and stared at the entrance of the alley: "Brother, someone over there is coming to us, it seems that the number is not enough. There are at least seven or eight people!"

Ning Zhe followed the reputation and saw a few dazzling figures in the snow-paved alley, and then slowly pulled out the military thorns from his waist: "Everyone, stay steady! If the people who come here are really Xiao Qi's group, they must be taken first. Put it in the yard!"

...

Inside the alley.

Xiao Qi didn't notice the potential danger yet. Accompanied by Huang Mancang and several of his subordinates, he walked towards the front yard, and at the same time asked sideways, "How are the repairs of the kilns that caught fire before? "

"Don't worry, brother, it's almost done! The previous fires did not cause much damage to those brick-and-tile kilns, but the materials were damaged a bit!" Huang Mancang shook the snowflakes on his shoulders. : "It's winter now. In order to maintain body functions, the refugees can't save any food in their mouths. Therefore, the prices of food and drinking water on the black market are going up. Although I have allocated a sum of money to people We went out to buy supplies, but what we got back was less than one-third of the original plan! Judging from the current situation, the food we have in hand is no longer enough to keep the gang running! Either you or Kang Wenyao Say hello and ask him to help?"

"How can Kang Wenyao help? Although their guard posts are not short of food, the rations allocated to them by the fortress are all distributed according to human hair. Even if they can give us some, the amount is not much!" The suggestion is very contradictory: "With Kang Wenyao's conduct, if I go to him for help, I will definitely be ripped off!"

Huang Mancang waved his hand and explained: "Brother, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean, can you ask Kang Wenyao to help build a line and buy food from the city!"

"Are you **** dreaming? Do you think the people in the city eat the same brown rice as the refugees? I heard that the food for the people in the fortress costs seven or eight yuan per pound! Even if there is a channel, can you afford it? ?" Xiao Qi rolled his eyes: "Kang Wenyao is at the guard post, that is to say, he is able to intimidate the refugees. Regardless of whether he has access to the food agency, can he get food? Even if he can get it, you Do you think someone like him who can only enter the city four times a year can help us transport the food out?"

"That's right... I'm also too anxious, I've gone to the doctor when I'm sick!" After listening to Xiao Qi's response, Huang Mancang also felt that his proposal was a bit whimsical~www.readwn.com~ sighed: "Li Bin has already brought a group of People went to contact the bandits in the wasteland, I hope he can find a channel to buy food there!"

"Since the food is not enough, then start the emergency plan first! In this way, you order to drive away all the old prostitutes in the kilns who are not earning money!" Li Bin thought for a while: "And in the gang, Those who are useless, also clear them all!"

When Huang Mancang heard the words, the corners of his eyes jumped: "Brother, if you drive people away at this time, you are pushing them to a dead end!"

"Old Huang! You are a good person everywhere, but the biggest flaw is that you are full of worthless compassion! You can think about them now because you can eat enough! But you must also remember that your compassion , it may starve you to death!" As Xiao Qi spoke, one of the men in front had already opened the door of the house, he immediately stepped into the courtyard, and continued to speak to Huang Mancang: "I don't want them to be frozen and starved. But now Heiqi has no ability to support so many idlers, what do you want me to do? Can I conjure food out of thin air? If you feel bad for them, that's fine. After these people are driven out, who do you worry about? , give them your own rations! As for how many people you can feed, I will never interfere!"

"..." Huang Mancang was choked and couldn't say a word. While walking towards the house in front, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but found that he had no fire, and turned to look at the young man behind him: "The match is here. I!"

"Pfft!"

Just as the young man reached out for a match, a feather arrow flew past Huang Mancang's cheek and stuck firmly on the young man's chest. . ?
