Chapter 250: Next Time for Sure
What does this mean?
There’s a traitor, someone betrayed them!
The fourth shot…
The fifth shot…
Until they retreated to the distant ruins.
For a rookie like Jiang Ning, the mission was a bit difficult.
Huo Yishen told her to withdrew, “Let them catch their breath.”
The two stood behind, especially Doudou with envy written all over his face, “Brother, I want to shoot too.”
It’s not that Huo Yishen didn’t want to teach, but sniper rifle bullets were limited, and Doudou’s height had limitations, “No need to hurry, next time for sure.”
The sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer, and at a considerable distance, when the first person fell, He Tianming hadn’t even reacted.
But then the second, the third…
If he couldn’t understand it again, then he would be truly confused.
Seeing the thugs temporarily retreat, He Tianming was deeply moved. He never thought that Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning would once again save Aoyuan single-handedly.
This favor was impossible to repay.
After shooting, they pulled the curtains and went back to sleep.
Their biological clock was messed up, waking up after ten in the morning, having brunch after washing up.
After Doudou washed the dishes, she watered the peanuts and sweet potatoes on the terrace, suddenly she became nervous, “Brother, they’re here again.”
A pack of hungry wolves, how could they give up on the plump sheep just because of one failure.
Huo Yishen didn’t rush to take action, but instead taught Jiang Ning through words and deeds on how to quickly find the person in charge in what seemed like a chaotic crowd.
Eye contact, body language, gestures, clothing, even posture, all of these could serve as coded commands.
Obviously, after yesterday’s failure, they adjusted the leader in charge and continued their reckless behavior.
Carefully probing, getting closer step by step.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Huo Yishen remained calm and composed while watching them dance in chaos. He quickly identifying the target that needed to be eliminated.
Jiang Ning learned quickly from him, although compared to him she was still a rookie, but having survived two apocalyptic events, her insight far exceeded that of ordinary people.
After careful observation, she found them one by one.
Huo Yishen praised, “Well done, when I was learning, I only had a 90% accuracy rate.”
Going up to the 10th floor, firing up the rifle one by one and letting them eat the peanuts,once again giving out five high-speed train tickets to the underworld.
Jiang Ning handed in a perfect answer sheet and went downstairs with the sniper rifle.
Doudou was a bit disappointed, saying that next time for sure, but Brother lied!
There’s still a gap in intuition between men and women.
During dinner, Jiang Ning noticed Doudou’s disappointment, so she closed the door and reminded Huo Yishen, “Doudou is growing up. She’s not as easily fooled as before. Even if she doesn’t say anything, she has thoughts. You need to be careful.”
Huo Yishen, who wasn’t good at dealing with kids, criticized himself and then taught Doudou how to use the sniper rifle.
Even though it was an empty gun, Doudou was extremely excited, especially when she received praise from her brother, her eyes filled with stars.
Huo Yishen patted her head, feeling somewhat guilty, realizing he needed to be more careful in the future.
On the third day, the ones who played in the ruins came again, as if playing a zombie game.
This time, they didn’t wear clothes that stood out, and they were even a bit urgent. Two teams of people came straight to the cornfield, wanting to snatch the corn.
The members of the community were filled with anger and rushed up with weapons to fight.
The thugs were cruel and ruthless, but lacking food and drink, their bodies were thin and frail, far inferior to the members who had been trained by Huo Yishen.
Although Huo Yishen only led one group, he chose excellent members to train apprentices, and the results were quite obvious after a year.
When it came to food and life, neither side showed mercy, and soon they were engaged in a fight…
What Huo Yishen had been waiting for was today, and the behind-the-scenes instigator finally couldn’t hold back.
Behind the ruins, a figure appeared quietly.
He considered himself cautious, but Huo Yishen wouldn’t miss the opportunity. He directly raised his gun…”
“Jiang Ning remained on lookout throughout, only to see dust rising from the ruins.
The cornfield ran red with blood, but the community members defending their homeland emerged victorious.
Though many were wounded, it was a crushing victory, with no evildoers spared.
The distant thugs were frightened, and for a while, no one dared to approach, instead they retreated to the ruins.
Two hours later, they began to scatter and disperse.
They vanished without a trace.
He Tianming led a team, cautiously approaching the ruins…
The sight shocked the onlookers, causing many to turn away and vomit.
After preparing themselves mentally, they not only cleaned up the scene but also cleared away the bodies outside the cornfield.
It was late when the walkie-talkie rang.
Regardless of whether Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning needed it, He Tianming still expressed gratitude on behalf of Aoyuan.
Knowing that the two didn’t want too much disturbance, he simply reassured, “Don’t worry, the community members understand the importance and won’t talk about it.”
He was referring to the guns.
With the evildoers dispersed, Aoyuan returned to its former tranquility, but their vigilance remained high.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and over ten mu of land began to be harvested.
The frost-resistant potatoes didn’t taste good, so He Tianming had someone deliver over a dozen catties of corn, saying they should give it a try.
With such kindness, Jiang Ning accepted.
Surprisingly, the corn grown in a day through all four seasons wasn’t much different in appearance from that grown in a black soil garden, but it had a much lighter taste, and the texture wasn’t bad either.
Perhaps this was also a mutation resulting from plants experiencing natural disasters.
Worried about the long night, He Tianming went to the official work center again, this time summoning a large truck.
All the community members pitched in, digging potatoes, harvesting sweet potatoes, and picking corn, making quite a scene.
With many hands, the work was finished in a single day.
After weighing everything, even with over ten mu of food, there was still a shortfall in materials for exchanging for houses.
He Tianming had no choice but to call on everyone to contribute dried vegetables.
Vegetables grew quickly, and after being harvested, they were dried. Each household contributed over thirty catties, barely making up the shortfall.
Luckily, they hadn’t stopped foraging for wild vegetables in the past few months, or else they really wouldn’t have had enough to eat.
But no matter how you looked at it, they had finally found a place to settle down in the apocalypse. Even though they could only squeeze into one room as a family, it was still better than wandering the streets as refugees.
And this was just the beginning; who knew with effort they might be able to trade up to a bigger house in the future.
People always need dreams; otherwise, life is too painful.
The houses weren’t finished yet, and it would be some time before they could move in, so the community members couldn’t rest.
The women and children continued to grow vegetables, using both seeds they had saved and those provided by the Agricultural Institute. They are planting them separately.
They hoped to grow several crops before moving, as once they did, there would be nowhere to grow them, and their future livelihoods were still uncertain.
The young and strong continued to dig sand or scavenge, earning points to renovate the houses.
Leaving aside everything else, doors and windows were a must.
Yang Weimin had a sudden idea, “When the time comes, let’s rent a truck and transport everything that can be dismantled from Aoyuan to the new urban area. Not only can we renovate our own houses, but we can also sell to people in need and trade for supplies.”
Aoyuan didn’t lack much except for doors and windows, so dismantling them was feasible.
“That’s a good idea, but where can we get a truck?”
“Huo Yishen often drives a truck, right? We can ask him where he rents it, and we’ll pay the rent.”
Bringing up this topic, He Tianming returned to business, “There’s no problem with the potatoes we’ve set aside, right? We need to redeem the solar generator.”
“No problem, we’ve set them aside.”
He Tianming quickly contacted Huo Yishen, returning the seeds and paying back two-thirds of the interest.
After setting a time, Huo Yishen drove the truck in from outside…”
