In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 56 Being targeted
So she answered first.
“No one here forces children to work. I felt sorry for this child, so I gave her a compressed biscuit. She insisted on helping me with the work, and I couldn’t stop her.”
"The kind-hearted lady next to us saw that the child was poorly dressed and wanted to donate a set of clothes. It's good that Officer Chen and you are here, so please be our witnesses."
“Oh, right, and these few too,” Hongtang pointed to the gossiping girls, a smile playing on her lips, “they’re also going to donate things to the children.”
"They can't even feed themselves, yet they're donating to others?" The few who had just agreed quickly stepped back, and some of the quick-witted ones immediately said, "It's not my fault, it's just that Aunt Li is being kind."
Aunt Li, who had a kind heart: How did I become Aunt Li? I'm only 28 years old this year!
Li Lulu quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "Officer, that's not it, it's..."
"Li Lulu, it's you again? You're always the one causing trouble. If you don't want to stay at the Second Base, then leave now." A young man next to Chen Jinghe's tone turned sour when he saw that the person speaking was Li Lulu.
Chen Jinghe also said, "I am the captain of the public security brigade. There are no police officers here. Don't call the wrong person next time. Also, if you're going to give someone's child clothes, do it quickly and don't delay our work."
In just a few words, Chen Jinghe understood what was going on; this Li Lulu was someone who couldn't stand seeing others do well.
Looking at Hongtang again, not only were her clothes clean and tidy, but the big fat cat in her arms was irresistible to everyone. All the advice I gave her earlier was for nothing.
Zhao Minmin, who had been standing there stunned, finally reacted and immediately walked up to Li Lulu, saying gratefully, "Auntie, thank you for taking pity on me. It would be a waste for me to wear such nice clothes, so just give me the one you're wearing." As she spoke, her small hands, covered in chilblains, reached for the zipper of Li Lulu's clothes.
Li Lulu pulled and shoved Li Minmin to the ground, saying, "Where did this brat come from? I just said one sentence to you, and you're already taking advantage of me. You really think I'm doing this for your own good?"
At this moment, the people around also saw Li Lulu's true colors, and another round of discussion ensued.
Li Lulu was too ashamed to stay any longer and slunk away.
Chen Jinghe walked up to Hongtang and, despite his suspicions, asked, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
He paused, looked at Ha Ge, and said in a low voice, "Your cat is too fat and conspicuous. Be careful not to attract attention and get into trouble."
Hongtang laughed and said nonchalantly, "It's just that I hired people to help me clear snow for free, and some people were jealous. The base rules don't say you can't hire people. I can't guarantee my safety in the base, but with Officer Chen here, I'm still at ease."
Chen Jinghe frowned upon hearing this. "The base isn't absolutely safe either. There are many superhumans there, and they have many tricks up their sleeves that are hard to defend against. Anyway, be careful. If anything happens, come find me at the security brigade. By the way, where do you live?"
“I live in Unit 2, Building 16, South District, Room 602.”
"The southern area is relatively safe, and there are many patrol shifts, but you still need to be careful," Chen Jinghe said a few more times before leaving.
Hongtang had wanted to ask him about zombies and crystal cores, but it seems she'll have to wait until next time.
"Are you alright?" Hongtang came to Zhao Minmin's side. Zhao Minmin had already gotten up from the ground and was brushing the snow off her body.
"It's okay, the snow on the ground is thick, it won't hurt at all if you fall."
"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'll come over when you're done."
After Hongtang left, the man from room 601, who was standing outside the crowd, also hired a worker to do snow removal work for him, earning 5 points for each instance of snow removal.
Why didn't he think of this method before?
After leaving the service hall entrance, Hongtang went directly to the housing rental and sales center.
She wants to check out!
Living here is awful.
Annoying neighbors, annoying aunties, and no zombies to fight!
But how could the agency agree to cancel the lease on a house that has been so hard to rent out?
In the end, the middle-aged man had to say, "You can move out, but the rent is non-refundable."
Although Hongtang didn't particularly care about the 1000 points, she couldn't let others take advantage of her for nothing.
Since we've already rented the house, let's just stay here for now and consider it our retirement. We can use this time to help Brother Ha get promoted again.
So Ha Ge had a short-term goal: to advance his lightning-type ability to level four and his earth-type ability to level two within two months.
Ha-ge: Meow~ Why is it always me who gets hurt!
The voluntary snow removal activity concluded successfully at noon. The staff used a device similar to a POS machine to swipe Hongtang's base card, and the information on the card regarding the voluntary labor showed that it had been completed.
This is quite intelligent, but the network hasn't been restored yet. Hongtang is looking forward to the day when her phone or other communication devices can be used again.
She'll need to get a set of communication equipment by then; information is too limited right now.
After paying Zhao Minmin with a compressed biscuit, Hongtang used her spatial telekinesis ability to slip a small bag into her clothes.
There are four compressed biscuits in the small bag, enough for her to eat for at least two days. That's all she can do to help her.
Hongtang didn't want a situation where "a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment."
Just as Hongtang had predicted, the compressed biscuit she paid for was snatched away by the screaming girl from yesterday. Zhao Minmin, however, carefully hid the extra bag of payment she had given.
Hongtang realized she was being watched after arguing with Li Lulu that morning. Since she was bored anyway, she figured it wouldn't hurt to find some trivial snacks to pass the time.
So after dinner, Hongtang took Ha Ge for a walk around the base, hoping to lure the snake out of its hole.
Feeling two little tails following her all the way without making a move, Hongtang mentally gave them the middle finger: useless trash.
It seems these two are just keeping watch.
The other party did not act rashly just because he looked like an "ordinary person".
Hongtang gave a thumbs up to the people behind them for their premeditation and patience; such people usually achieve great things. At the same time, she also began to look forward to their next move.
Just as she was feeling bored, Zhao Minmin cautiously approached from the corner, slipped a note into her hand, and then hurriedly ran away.
Hongtang turned to look at Zhao Minmin's departing figure, a slight smile playing on her lips. This child is quite interesting.
Looking at the handwriting on the note, it was messy but still clear. There weren't many words, but they were concise and to the point. It said that Li Lulu had colluded with a superhuman to deal with him.
A superhuman?
I've only been at the base for a few days, haven't shown off my wealth or ability, and haven't acted in a high-profile manner. This morning I just had a minor argument with someone, and yet I've been targeted by superhumans. Or do they have some other scheme in mind?
Come to think of it, I've never actually fought against a superhuman before, not counting the time I helped Chino and the mutual probing with the man across the street.
Speaking of the man across the hall, Hongtang thought he was quite eccentric. This guy actually left the key to the iron gate right at her doorstep. Was it really that hard to just ask him?
Or does he have homophobia, preferring to be alone and disliking contact with people?
However, I'm also grateful that he gave me the key first, as I had completely forgotten about it; otherwise, I would have had to bang on the door to get in and out.
Now that someone is trying to get rid of me and is actively courting death, I can't just sit here and wait to die.
Hongtang decided to take the initiative.
