The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 263: This Killer Is Not Too Cold

Mr. Rong pondered carefully, “Are you saying they have connections with the authorities or the base and knew something in advance?” 

“Two years of polar day, three years of polar night, followed by haze…” 

Mr. Rong’s expression changed from his previous carefree demeanor, “We spent a lot of effort to get this secret information from the official base, but they seemed to have targeted their renovations based on that. 

“I’ve been running around outside these past few days. Two days ago, I met someone who works at the police station. It took a lot of effort to get information out of him. 

“The confidential information we got from the official base originated from Fengcheng. Someone sent a prophecy letter to the police station, and unexpectedly, each prediction came true. 

“However, the information was too terrifying. There were strict orders from above to keep it secret, afraid that revealing it to survivors in advance would cause even greater panic.” 

“The reason the authorities stocked up on building materials in advance is because the prophecy mentioned a super earthquake, and it actually happened.” 

Mr. Rong squinted, tilting his body slightly to examine his son, feeling like he had changed somehow. 

Mr. Rong’s son, Rong San, resumed his carefree demeanor, “Dad, stop scrutinizing me with that look. It’s been three years since the apocalypse. Even a pig would change, let alone a person.” 

Indeed, in the past, he lived extravagantly, enjoying the nightlife and the privileges his family’s status afforded him in every city he visited. 

But when the natural disasters struck, wealth became worthless! 

Power became the most important thing! 

Former politicians used to flatter him, but now? 

There are countless military and political scions in the base. The era where the Rong family could stride around is gone, replaced by being controlled and used as tools, with teeth knocked out and blood swallowed. 

That’s also why he seized the opportunity to return to Fengcheng. As long as it’s not the last step, he doesn’t want to go back. 

In the past, he thought he was tough. Blowing up streets at night, picking up girls at nightclubs, crashing cars at the slightest provocation—these were all Rong Sanshao’s routine. 

But once he entered the base, he witnessed real tough guys. Once you provoke them, you have to gamble with your life, and it’s no longer something you can settle with family influence or wealth. 

Thinking of the look in the eyes of those men and women, Rong Sanshao was acutely aware that not everyone could provoke such tough characters. 

Even when a gun was pointed at her head, that calmness and sarcasm, he had never seen such a thing in the apocalypse before. 

Despite the Rong family still shining, to put it bluntly, it’s because the authorities are willing to flatter them. If one day they’re not willing, there are countless ruthless people outside… 

Such incidents frequently occur in the base. Many scions act arrogantly in the base, but once they leave, they end up beaten to a pulp. 

Seeing so much, as long as you still want to live, there will be a day when you’re afraid. 

Mr. Rong’s voice was solemn, “Do you mean that the Rong family has to represent the Homeowners association to apologize?” 

Rong San stroked his chin, “Apologizing is impossible. Our Rong family can’t afford to lose face. The best way is to handle it coldly, put it on hold for now and investigate their background first.” 

Thinking of the man’s nimble movements and confident demeanor, Rong Sanshao had already made a judgment in his heart, he was probably from a military or police background, and his identity was not simple. 

Mr. Rong was puzzled, “Military or police?” 

He pondered for a moment, “I’ll leave this matter to you. If it’s not handled properly, don’t blame me for dealing with you.” 

“Alright, I’m just bored enough.” Rong Sanshao was very interested in the people from Building 50 and decided to take charge as the chairman of the Business Committee. “However, these security guards should all be dismissed. They’re just deceivers. They can’t even withstand a punch. If something really happens one day, none of them in the neighborhood will be able to run.” 

It’s outrageous for them to demand such high wages without any real capability. 

“I say, you should consider getting married.” 

“Dad, are you okay? It’s the apocalypse and you’re still pushing marriage?” 

“You still need to get married during the apocalypse; do you want to end the lineage of our Rong family?” 

“Oh, my stomach hurts, I need to go…” 

… 

Early in the morning, Doudou shouted downstairs, “The chicks are born!” 

Jiang Ning went downstairs and indeed saw cracked eggs on the incubator, revealing the little head of a chick. 

She hadn’t seen live chickens in three years, so she was a bit excited. 

With the drastic weather changes, Jiang Ning took out a cardboard box, lined it with shredded straw, and put the hatched chicks inside. 

Without chicken feed, she crushed corn and wheat with a grain mill, mixed it with water, and stirred it before putting it into the cardboard box. 

The newly born chicks were a bit foolish, chirping continuously before finally coming over to peck at the food. 

With the addition of this new species in the house, not only was the dog curious and always trying to paw at them, even the rabbit ran over to join in the fun. 

After about two days, all ten chicks had hatched. 

For them, the extreme changes in weather throughout the day were difficult to adapt to, and within a few days, three of them died. 

Doudou took care of them carefully every day, shedding tears when a few ducks passed away. 

Fortunately, the ducks hatched. 

And within a couple of days, even the goose eggs hatched. 

With previous experience, Doudou took even better care of them, turning on the fan when it was hot, covering the box with a blanket when it was cold, and sometimes even telling stories to them with the dog, “Once upon a time, there was a crow flying and got thirsty…” 

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh at her, but she didn’t dampen her innocence either. 

Qin Mu was excited and surprised, “Can I touch them?” 

Doudou said solemnly, “You can, but be gentle, don’t hurt them.” 

The two crouched by the nest, and Qin Mu was very curious, “Can I raise them?” 

Afraid that she might disagree, he hurriedly added, “I’ll give you something in exchange.” 

Doudou thought for a moment, “You can, but you have to wait until they grow up and lay eggs before you can raise them for you.” 

“Why?” 

“There are too few of them now. We need to raise them until they’re big enough to lay eggs for us to eat.” 

“Okay, then I’ll wait.” 

In the evening, Qin Chuan came to take his son. 

“Many people have been asking about you and Brother Huo lately. I’ve made up some stories for you.” 

He never asked about their backgrounds. Jiang Ning couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What did you say?” 

“I said Brother Huo is a military descendant from Beijing, and you used to work for a foreign mercenary group, a leader who kills without shedding blood.” 

Jiang Ning laughed, “And what about Doudou?” 

Qin Chuan humorously replied, “This killer isn’t too cold.” 

But actions speak louder than words. The Rong family not only refrained from causing trouble, but they also implemented reforms within the Homeowners association and replaced the entire security team. 

They also notified them to pay property fees and do entry and exit registration. 

For safety reasons, outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave, and owners with urgent matters could come out to meet. 

Property fees were treated equally, no more special treatment. 

To make up for the previous mistake, Building 49 and Building 59 were exempt from three months of property fees. 

It’s true what they say, might makes right. 

Jiang Ning was slightly surprised, “Those people have no problem with the Rong family?” 

“Their powerless. Even if they have a problem, they have to keep it to themselves. Besides, it was just a few wealthy women who got up to no good. It’s already good enough that someone is covering for them.” 

It’s not that the men had no issues, but at least they didn’t show it. 

But they’re all cunning old foxes. Qin Chuan reminded, “But they’re more cunning. They might be doing some superficial work, so you still need to be careful.”
