I survived with my sister in the doomsday
Chapter 53 Back to base
After a bumpy ride back to Xiaobai's home, we told Xiaobai and Linlin about what happened on the road. I was terrified and worried. I didn't know if the police would come to our house and take away Feicui, who had injured someone, and sentence her for excessive assault.
I secretly decided that if someone really came to arrest me, I would take the blame for the injury and admit that I was the one who injured the person. I would never let my sister go to court.
Lin Lin comforted me and said it was okay. There would be trouble in that lawless area sooner or later. After the natural disaster, society could not return to the peaceful and prosperous times before. They were robbers. Robbery was a serious crime during the turbulent times. How dare they call the police? Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?
But Lin Lin felt that Feicui was right. We should always root out the evil! It is inevitable that they will kill us if we meet them in the future. We have already made enemies.
Moreover, Lin Lin heard from insiders yesterday that the troops here might withdraw soon! If the troops withdraw, won’t the robbers become more rampant in the future?
I was shocked to hear the news and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Why would the troops evacuate at such an urgent moment?"
Lin Lin said helplessly to me, "I heard from Brother Chen. He came to us yesterday and told us that there was a riot in the capital and that they were going to withdraw troops from all over the country. Our base is not an important one, so I'm afraid they might withdraw a regiment."
This is reassuring, at least they didn't say that all of them were transferred away.
Xiaobai prepared food for us while leaning on his crutches and asked me to drink some beer to calm myself down. He also comforted me that we were acting in self-defense and that we would be right even if they came looking for us!
I told these two people what I saw during this trip to the Mid-Levels Base, and told them that I felt there wouldn't be much development at the Katsurahama Base, so why don't we all go to the Mid-Levels Base to develop.
Xiaobai said hesitantly that he wanted to go back to his hometown to find his parents. He had thought that if his parents were still alive, he would move back and build a rural area with his parents. After all, there were fewer buildings in the village and the degree of damage would definitely not be as difficult to restore as in the city. At worst, his old house would collapse. Then when he recovered, he would sell this villa to us and use the money to go back to his hometown to help his parents build a new house. His family also has land, so he could farm and become a farmer in the future.
But now it seems that we are also planning to leave, so he has to think carefully.
I agreed with Xiaobai's idea and said: Okay, you can sell this villa to someone else, and then I will accompany you to find your parents to send it to you. I thought that since I promised them, I must fulfill my promise.
After eating, I felt a little better after being comforted. Then, I went back to the car while I still had the strength and pretended to ask Lin Lin to help me unload the several large cartons of cigarettes and a lot of toilet paper in the trunk. This was what I had thought of when I came back. I asked my grandfather to take them out in advance and put them in the trunk. I also thought of asking Lin Lin to find the boss who sold contraband to deal with another batch. I was still short of money to go to the Mid-Mountain Base, so I had to save money!
When Lin Lin saw all these things of mine, her eyes sparkled and she asked me, "Old Huo, where did you get these cigarettes from? You are simply a god!"
I pretended to be sincere and said that I did have a warehouse where I stored some cigarettes and things like toilet paper and sanitary napkins. This time when I went back, I took a detour and went to the warehouse specifically to check. I asked Feicui to move away the ruins and find my stock, and said that the goods this time were indeed my own things.
In fact, there are some lies that you gradually believe as you tell them.
When Jadeite went out and saw these things, he agreed with me, yes, I made them.
Jade is completely different from me. She doesn't feel any guilt for hurting anyone, as if she is doing justice for the people.
Only I couldn’t escape the bloody scene of the man lying on the ground with half of his arm chopped off... It became my nightmare and I had nightmares all night long.
The next day, I returned to the factory base and went to find Brother Chen to tell him about this matter. At that time, I pulled Brother Cheng to a secluded place and whispered to him. I was really afraid that this matter would cause trouble in the future.
Brother Chen told me not to be too nervous. This was not the first time we had encountered such a robbery. The day before you came back, someone said that he was almost robbed and escaped. During the day, the police went out for patrol and found the bodies of some victims in a small woods in the suburbs. Their belongings had been stolen and the women were raped and killed. They were afraid that this incident would cause panic among the residents, so they did not tell the victims in the base. It is estimated that it is very likely that it was done by the people who wanted to kidnap us. Who knows how many people these people have robbed and killed in secret in the past few days, so first of all, there is no need to worry that they will take the initiative to report the case.
I felt relieved when I heard this. If they hadn't come to report the case, at least Feicui and I wouldn't have been arrested.
But Brother Chen also mentioned that the troops might withdraw. If the troops really withdraw part of the troops, the police station alone will not have enough manpower to manage the public safety of the victims, not to mention patrolling the roads far away from the base without lighting and cameras, so they can only ask the victims not to leave the base at night and stay at home and lock the doors as much as possible.
He also sighed: What a big deal it is now, the police can't protect the public's safety and can only rely on hiding, the world has completely changed!
I suddenly realized that it is not realistic to restore the peaceful life before the disaster. We can only gradually accept the chaotic life after the disaster, and even avoid dangerous people and things. Even in our own city, there are many places that are not protected by the law. We must be cautious in everything in the future, as if the law of the jungle has returned, where the strong prey on the weak!
Brother Chen said that the houses in the base have been built, and he has applied for a small house of 65 square meters. Although it only has two bedrooms, it is more than enough for the two brothers Chen Si and Chen Zhen to live in one room, and they will gradually adapt to the life in the base.
I asked Brother Chen if he had any idea of moving to the Mid-Levels Base. Brother Chen said that his current position was assigned to the Shengbin Base, which was also his position. If there was a transfer order to the Mid-Levels Base, he would be sent there with his superiors. At present, there was no possibility of this, and for the livelihood of himself and his two sons, he could not lose this job at present.
I had no choice but to tell Brother Chen reluctantly that I planned to leave this base and develop in the Mid-Levels base because I found it more prosperous there.
Brother Chen said that of course people tend to move to higher places, and he didn't object to us going to the mid-mountain base. He just hoped that when we live better in the future, we can come back to see them occasionally.
In fact, it was just a polite remark from Brother Chen.
Back at Xiaobai's house, Xiaobai said that someone came to ask for the price as soon as his house was put on the market, but that person would only offer a maximum of 40, while he had spent 40 on the purchase of the house not including the renovation.
I advised you that since you have 40 and you are in a hurry to get rid of it, just sell it.
Xiaobai has always believed that the value of his house will appreciate, but I am not optimistic, because after going out for a while and coming back to see his place, I find that there is simply no comparison between this place and Mid-Levels.
Xiaobai's heart was no longer here at this time. He also agreed to sell the house to that man. He was determined to find his parents.
In the afternoon, Lin Lin brought me back 250,000 yuan, which was the money he earned from reselling cigarettes and toilet paper. There really wasn't much left, but the money I could get from selling it was within my expectations.
I gave Lin Lin 30,000 yuan as a reward for his errands, but he said 20,000 yuan was not a small amount. I still gave him 30,000 yuan and asked him what his future plans were.
After all, Lin Lin is not our family. Although he is the eldest of Feicui, he is still an outsider. So his situation is very awkward. If he goes with us, he will be an outsider. If he goes with Xiaobai, he will have to look for his parents, and he will be alone.
I advised him to come with us and start a business with us.
Feicui also agreed and said that she would protect Lin Lin and treat him as her big brother in the future.
