Cultivation Quick Transmigration: The Believer Girl is Lacking Money and Morals
Chapter 35 Natural Disaster
The crowd stopped outside the courtyard gate. Commander Huo stood at the front, his gaze sharp as he looked at her and asked bluntly, "Mo Chenchen?"
"It's me," Mo Chenchen said calmly.
"We received a report from the public." Commander Huo's tone was official and authoritative: "You are illegally possessing firearms and ammunition. According to military control regulations, all private weapons must be surrendered. Please hand them over voluntarily."
These words immediately caused an uproar. Although there had been rumors that the girl in the innermost house had a gun, the fact that the army regimental commander personally led men to confiscate it made all the difference.
"There really are guns!"
"How could a girl have a gun?"
"No wonder he was so aggressive last time, even shooting people directly..."
"Now that the army is here, let's see how arrogant she can be!"
Discussions arose, mostly tinged with schadenfreude or fear and alienation.
Mo Chenchen's gaze swept across the crowd, and he saw Mrs. Wang's eyes, which held a hint of pleasure and revenge.
Mo Chenchen immediately knew why. It must be because her family suffered heavy losses last time, and they blamed Mo Chenchen for appearing too late and not being able to help them. It was really inexplicable.
My gaze returned to Commander Huo's face, and seeing his gloomy expression made me feel uneasy; the good impression I had made at first sight was completely gone.
"Ms. Mo, please cooperate with our work." Seeing that she remained silent, Commander Huo raised his voice, and the soldiers behind him stepped forward, exerting pressure.
Mo Chenchen suddenly laughed, a faint laugh tinged with mockery and sarcasm.
He reached directly to his lower back, actually pulling out the pistol he had used last time from his storage space, deftly ejected the magazine, and handed it to Commander Huo.
Everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected her to be so decisive.
Commander Huo raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly surprised, and reached out to take it.
However, Mo Chenchen's next words caused everyone's expression to change.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the room, carrying a chilling, reckless intensity:
"You can take the gun. Since the military has taken my only weapon for self-defense, they should ensure my personal safety. I live alone, with no relatives or friends. If, because I no longer have this, any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to target me and cause me any problems..."
She looked directly into Huo Zhanting's eyes, her gaze filled with disgust: "Don't blame me for using harsh language later. Also, from now on, all your requests for help should bypass my house. You really can't be too kind. I definitely won't do that again."
After saying that, she didn't give anyone time to react, nor did she look at Commander Huo's face, which instantly turned ugly, nor did she pay attention to the crowd that was exploding with discussion.
With a crisp "bang," the villa door was slammed shut and locked from the inside.
Everyone was stunned by Mo Chenchen's merciless and almost shrewish words.
No one expected that this seemingly aloof and solitary girl, when her weapons were confiscated, would not cry or resist, but instead so forcefully tear down the veil and lay the most real threat nakedly on the table.
She was clearly telling everyone, including the army that had taken over the area: I've handed over my weapons, and you're responsible for my safety.
In the future, I hope that even if you need my help, she won't care anymore.
What she meant was that last time she pulled out a gun to scare away the bad guys, but in the end, no one spoke up for her, especially those families not far from her.
If it weren't for the fact that Mo Chenchen pulled out a gun, which made the other side wary, the losses would have been even more severe, and no one would have had the leisure to watch the show.
Those who benefited from this situation feel very uncomfortable; they certainly shouldn't act this way.
Zhou Li had just intended to stand up, but his brother stopped him. Their family couldn't openly stand against the army, even though he knew that the woman had saved his son and he would repay her in another way.
Only the Wang family was truly happy. Last time, they suffered the greatest loss. If Mo Chenchen hadn't come out so late, how could they have lost so many things?
As soon as the military issued the notice about confiscating weapons, she immediately reported it. Look at this woman, so arrogant all day long!
Huo Zhanting gripped the gun in his hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He remembered the first time he met this girl; he wasn't averse to her, which was quite rare.
But when he heard his friend Baili Mo say that a girl had called him to seduce him, his feelings for her plummeted. When he saw her a second time at his family's antique shop, he ignored her and then deleted her contact information, forgetting about her altogether.
He never expected to meet him again in a safe villa area after the apocalypse. He could clearly see the obvious disgust in the other person's eyes.
This office meeting was indeed conducted in a purely business-like manner, and he had no ulterior motives. However, the other party did not play by the rules at all and actually pulled this stunt.
This is tantamount to openly drawing a glaring mark, complete with barbs, on the order he had just established.
Guarantee her safety? If something really happens to her, even if it's just a petty thief climbing over the wall to steal, her words today will deal a heavy blow to his and the army's prestige.
This woman... she really is a problem!
Mo Chenchen was very satisfied with what happened today. From now on, she could stand by and watch with a clear conscience, and no one would try to morally blackmail her anymore.
This provided a perfect excuse for her cold-bloodedness. Her sincerity was betrayed, causing her to lose her most precious life-saving weapon. Her kindness was also attacked, leading her to close her heart and lock away love from then on.
It's just a gun; she has plenty of other things in her inventory, so it's not worth mentioning.
The military has tightened its control, with patrols operating 24 hours a day, especially in the area near Mo Chenchen's villa, where patrol density has been significantly increased.
I don't know if it was out of concern for her safety or to monitor her.
Mo Chenchen was happy to have some peace and quiet, and took advantage of the fact that the temperature hadn't risen to an unbearable level to chop wood like crazy at home.
She originally wanted to find a man, but now she's not interested and there's no suitable person. She thought Zhou Li was pretty good and could be developed into a laborer.
Even now, she could feel the gaze from next door. A moment later, the doorbell rang. Mo Chenchen raised an eyebrow and saw Zhou Li outside the door. She opened the door from the inside and asked a question knowingly through the iron gate.
"What is it?"
Zhou Li pursed her lips. It was already quite dark, and if it weren't for the streetlights, she really wouldn't be able to see the other person's expression.
"I'm sorry I didn't step forward last time. I see you have a lot of firewood in your yard, shall I chop it for you?" The person was a little nervous.
Mo Chenchen thought about it and agreed. She had met Zhou Li's elder brother and sister-in-law a few times through the window, but apart from knowing that she had given her medicine and sending her 20 catties of rice as a token of gratitude, they had not had any further contact.
In short, he didn't seem like a particularly easy person to get along with, and Mo Chenchen didn't like him.
He stepped forward, opened the door completely, let the man in, handed him the axe and chainsaw beside him, and asked, "You...can you do this?"
