Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 142 Night Attack
"What did you say? Who beat you up?"

After applying medicine to Liu Xu, Liu Ying returned to her room. After listening to his story of what happened today, she suddenly stood up from her chair, glaring at him with her almond-shaped eyes, and asked in disbelief, "She hit you? Why did she hit you?"

After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, "You didn't fight back?"

Liu Xu pursed his lips and looked at his sister without saying anything.

"No. What do you mean?"

Liu Ying didn't understand her brother's behavior at all. "We have never met her before. We didn't even know she existed in this world. So do you have feelings for her? Why are you protecting her?"

"How did I protect her?" Not fighting back when being hit, is this protecting her?
Liu Xu did not admit it, and he did not want to admit that he was afraid of her, the kind that got scared at the first sight of her.

"With your ability, can she even touch you?"

Not fighting back means protecting her. Liu Ying felt that her brother was quibbling.

Liu Xu thought of the vine that had bared its fangs and claws, that took several cuts with a knife to break, and that whipped people like crazy. He looked at his sister with a complicated expression, "If we really fight, I may not be able to move a finger on her."

After saying that, he nodded again with certainty, "Definitely can't move. You haven't seen how powerful she is. She can control vines remotely. Our car was tied up tightly in an instant, but we haven't found out who used this wood-related ability. So Cherry, it's not that I don't want to fight back, it's that I don't have the strength to fight back."

Yes, that's right, that's it.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain his behavior of not even daring to hide.

At that time, under Bai Li's gaze, he really didn't dare to move.

"Is that so?" Liu Ying looked at her brother suspiciously, "Is she really that powerful?"

"Of course!" Liu Xu nodded affirmatively.

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you didn't dare to do anything because we both share the same suffering."

The elder sister was abandoned by her mother when she was three years old, and they have never seen each other since then. The two of them seem to be very lucky, twins, a boy and a girl, who have been growing up with their biological parents. Logically, they should be the apple of their parents' eyes.

But those are normal parents, are their parents normal?

A man who values his nephew from his mother's side more than his own children, an old man who is in love and thinks everything his wife says is right.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, the love from their parents was very limited. Every time Zhou Lin was not at home, their biological mother would remember them, but she would always find fault with them and blame them for not caring about their cousin and being selfish.

selfishness?

Every time this happened, Liu Xu wanted to beat Zhou Lin up.

Why? Why in their family, they still have to live under Zhou Lin's will?

But he also knew in his heart that the root of this matter did not lie with Zhou Lin, but with their mother.

When they were born, their grandmother and uncle were rushing to see them and they had a car accident on the way, causing Zhou Lin to become an orphan at a young age.

So Ms. Zhou Mengxiang thought it was her fault and she should compensate him double and make up for the fatherly and motherly love he lacked.

But how much love can a person have? She gave all her love to Zhou Lin, so what about them?
Also, Bai Li's cold face appeared in Liu Xu's mind. In the past twenty years, Zhou Mengxiang might have completely forgotten about her eldest daughter, right?

"Brother, you'd better not contact her again. She beat you so hard the first time we met. What does this mean? It means that she hates us. If you go to her again, she will probably kill you."

This is indeed possible.

When Bai Li hit him today, there was a flash of murderous intent in Bai Li's eyes. He noticed it at the time, but still didn't dare to move.

"You think too much. She doesn't hate us. She doesn't care. Of course she doesn't hate us. It's just that I set my sights on Yunxi Village. When she saw it was me, she got annoyed."

"Brother, we..."

"Let's find another place. I can't stay here for a day anyway."

In the dead of night, on a tall poplar tree about 20 meters outside Liu Xu's uncle's base, Lao Sheng, dressed in black, stood on the thickest branch in the middle of the tree trunk. He held a telescope in his hand and had been in the same position for nearly 20 minutes.

When there was only one spot of light left in the base, he slid down from the tree and landed silently. Then in the blink of an eye he reached the base of the wall, and soon two other figures joined him.

The three of them walked eastward along the wall, stopped at the corner, and then quickly climbed over the wall to go inside.

One person was in front and two people were behind. They walked and stopped, and finally stopped at the back wall of a place similar to a cold storage in the southeast corner.

The black shadow in the front walked along the wall and came to the front door. Two guards were sitting on the steps, fanning themselves with one hand and chatting with each other.

"I heard that Master Liu's son is even better than our eldest master, and the master wants to focus on training him. Is this true?"

"I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, I've assigned a task to Liu Xu. No matter if it's Lao Huang's base in Huacheng or the base in Pengcheng next door, if he can take down one and bring back some supplies, I'll form a team for him and make him the captain."

"Are you trying to train him to be independent while our young master is away?"

"It's possible. After all, he is my nephew. He is one of our own."

"Hey? What's wrong with you?"

The two people who were talking suddenly tilted their heads and fell to the ground silently.

The black shadow moved the two men down one step and asked them to sit on it in the same position as before.

Then he turned around and waved his hand, and the other two people hiding at the foot of the wall quickly came over.

One of the shadows walked up to the tightly closed door and fiddled with it for a few times. I don't know how he did it, but the door lock clicked open.

Another shadow in the darkness widened his eyes in surprise, then raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up.

One person stood guard at the door while two people went in.

Soon one of them came out and nodded to the person guarding the door.

The dark figure guarding the door, Lao Sheng, turned around and returned along the wall.

Not long after, Lao Sheng brought four people back to the warehouse door again.

Bai Yang and Ren Bin, who stayed here, had already gone back and forth from the warehouse to the door more than a dozen times, moving more than twenty boxes of things and piling them outside.

The four people brought by Lao Sheng were Cheng Siyun and three other power users. They also brought more than twenty large canvas bags.

Bai Yang took the bag and turned around and went back into the warehouse. Cheng Siyun and the other three each carried two boxes and returned the same way, as light as a swallow.

Soon, the wall around the corner was filled with boxes and canvas bags.

Zhou Hui and Liu Er were standing outside the wall. A person with special powers climbed onto the wall, and Cheng Siyun handed the box and bag up one by one from below.

While we were busy here, we suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps coming from the warehouse.

The man riding on the wall was startled and was about to raise his hand to take a look, but Cheng Siyun from under the wall urged him in a low voice without turning his head, "Hurry!" This is a critical moment, so he should get the things that have been moved out first. With Lao Sheng and Ren Bin in front, no matter what, his people will not suffer too much. The most they will suffer is being discovered.

But so what?
It's okay for them to rob openly during the day, but it's not okay for them to come and collect interest at night?

There was a piece of green ivy stuck in her trouser pocket. She bent down, picked up something in one hand and gently patted the green ivy with the other hand.

Soon, there was one person and two dogs outside the wall.

Bai Li brought Heng and Ha with her and asked Zhou Lei to put the canvas bag on the backs of Heng and Ha. Then she whispered, "Carry it to our car, put it down and come back."

After saying that, she raised her hand and stroked the two dogs' heads, patted their butts, and said, "Go."

Xiao Heng and Xiao Ha rubbed their hands against hers respectively, turned around and ran quickly towards the road where the car was parked two hundred meters away.

Zhou Lei looked at the two dogs that quickly disappeared into the darkness, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask, "Are they reliable?"
But Bai Li didn't look worried at all. She just lowered her head and carefully tied the box with green ivy. Then she closed her mouth and said nothing more.

It felt like less than a minute passed before the two dogs, Heng and Ha, returned to the wall.

Bai Li put the two tied boxes on Xiao Heng's back. This time, before she could pat his butt, the big black dog jumped out.

More and more boxes and bags were moved outside, and they were transported away very quickly. When Cheng Siyun and others climbed over the wall, there were only four large bags left outside the wall.

Four powerful people, one each, quickly ran out of the base and arrived at the car on the road outside.

"Where's Lao Sheng?"

Cheng Siyun and others were loading things into the car. Bai Li looked around at everyone and found that everyone was there except Lao Sheng.

"He's fine. He dealt with five people. He is cleaning up the mess and looking to see if anyone else has been alarmed."

It was already 1:30 in the morning. The noise just now seemed very loud, but that was because they had been alert and highly concentrated, so in the silence, even the smallest noise might be magnified in their ears.

The footsteps of that patrol team were a little noisy at the beginning, but then they were killed by Lao Sheng and Ren Bin without making any sound at all. Bai Yang took advantage of this opportunity and is still excited about it.

So exciting!
But this warehouse is some distance away from the residences of their core personnel. Not to mention that there was not much noise, even if there was, it would not be possible to detect it quickly.

After all, this base seems to be very large and has a large number of people, but upon actual observation, it is nothing more than ordinary people in society after the end of the world. Even if there are people with special powers, they cannot be compared with people like Lao Sheng and Ren Bin who are from the special forces.

There may be some improvement in combat capability, but other aspects, such as alertness, may be limited.

Everyone worked together to move the things they had obtained into four electric tricycles that arrived.

Yes, they didn’t drive a car today, only an electric tricycle.

The noise made when the car started was still too loud, and it was not suitable for night operations.

There were a lot of things to move, and the four electric vehicles were fully loaded.

"Let's go first and leave one for Lao Sheng."

Ren Bin took the lead, driving the first car with Liu Er and a power user.

Cheng Siyun and another power user drove the second car, and the last power user and Zhou Hui drove the third car.

The siblings Bai Li and Bai Yang, and the two dogs Heng and Ha stayed behind to wait for Lao Sheng.

Among the supplies that were moved in was a box of canned meat. Bai Li took out four boxes, opened them, and rewarded Hengha Ergou.

After waiting for about five more minutes, Lao Sheng finally ran out like a gust of wind, holding a long wooden box in his arms.

He was sweating and panting, but his eyes were particularly bright. "Sister-in-law, Bai Yang, I found the warehouse where they kept the guns. Look, they are all in here."

I really didn't expect to find a sniper rifle in such an ordinary place.

The captain would definitely be happy if he saw this.

Bai Yang was also happy. He had long wanted his brother-in-law to teach him how to shoot, but unfortunately he had no weapons.

He asked, "Anything else?"

Lao Sheng rolled his eyes. "Do you think sniper rifles are cheap? You can find them everywhere? We don't even know where they got this box from or how they got it."

Bai Li had already opened the tricycle and urged the two of them, "Hurry up and get in the car. If you want to see it, go back and watch it."

"But where are the bullets? If you only have a gun but no bullets, you can't fight."

Lao Sheng sighed, "You think I don't know, but there were only guns in their warehouse. I didn't see a single bullet. Maybe they kept the guns and bullets separate to prevent theft or for internal personnel to take them privately."

The two jumped onto the tricycle, Bai Li immediately turned the handlebars and started the car, while Hengha Ergou trotted beside them.

Although Huacheng is not far from Yunxi Village, that is measured at the speed of a car. It took them one hour and forty minutes to drive there on an electric tricycle. When they arrived home, the lights of the electric tricycle were off and the battery was completely exhausted.

On the way, they met Jiang Minglang and Zhang Shaoda who came to pick them up.

"Wow, that's quite a lot."

Zhang Shaoda glanced at the things on the four tricycles and smiled with satisfaction.

Old Sheng bared his big white teeth and said, "Captain, squad leader, here is another box of good stuff. I'll show it to you when we get back."

After hearing about what happened today, Jiang Minglang first glanced at his wife's face. Seeing that she was quite normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lao Sheng, "How much stuff do they have left in the warehouse?"

"I estimate that what we moved tonight only accounts for one twentieth of the total. I checked last night and there are quite a few of them. I estimate that there are between 200 and 250 people. The young and strong account for the whole number, and the remainder are women and children. There are almost no elderly people."

This population ratio is the norm in any place where survivors with some power gather after the apocalypse.

This is also one of the main reasons why Jiang Minglang and others have recently changed their attitude towards Li Nan, because so far, he is the only one who is seriously searching for and sheltering the elderly. He is really determined to develop an agricultural base.

In that case, Jiang Minglang and the others wouldn't mind helping and supporting him.

On the contrary, they don't mind helping to destroy other forces that only want to rely on robbery and fists to speak.

"You haven't been discovered?"

"No."

"Okay then," Jiang Minglang said, then turned to Zhang Shaoda and said, "Go back and drive a truck over here. Lao Sheng, get in the car and follow me. The rest of you go back and put your things down. Select ten people to go to Huacheng. Bai Yang, notify Mu Song and Ning An and ask them to send at least ten people."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Li again, "Wife."

"Go ahead," Bai Li waved her hand before he could finish. "If we had known you were going to do such a big thing, we wouldn't have worked so hard in the middle of the night. I felt quite accomplished, but now..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. For people like Cheng Siyun and Liu Er, it was the first time for everyone to participate in such an action. It might be a small thing for Jiang Minglang, but for them, it was really exciting and stimulating.

　good night!
