Chapter 293: Turmoil Within The Residential Area
They pull open the blackout curtains and turn on all the lights.
Coke is responsible for the lookout duty from today onwards. It needs to be alert to any activity outside the villa at all times.
The outside was unusually quiet, making one restless despite the bright lights inside the house.
Jiang Ning picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Zhang Chao and the others.
Ding Qi answered. She was patrolling with Zhang Weili.
All of them were adults. They persist in working through the night. Jiang Ning reckoned they must have carefully considered their decision. After a few words of advice on safety, Jiang Ning hung up.
Friendship was one thing, but there was a huge difference in their living standards. If some were unwilling to take risks, it was better not to stand around and talk nonsense.
After studying medical books for two hours, Jiang Ning practiced with Huo Yishen. She felt much better after sweating profusely.
She took the hot spring water from the space and poured it into the bathtub, adjusted the temperature to a constant mode, and soaked for 40 minutes.
Huo Yishen wasn’t idle. He first trained his sister, then trained the dog.
The lights in the backyard glass shed were always on. The rabbits had experienced extreme cold, so they didn’t feel much difference in temperature drop. The chickens, ducks, and geese were all huddled together for warmth.
Doudou seemed a bit aggrieved. “Brother, they didn’t lay eggs today.”
Huo Yishen comforted her, “It’s too cold and there’s no sunlight. They’ll get used to it after a while.”
It might be cold, but they still needed to be fed well to withstand the cold. Mixed grain feed couldn’t be skimped on.
He made a self-made heating pipe and hung it in the glass shed. When the weather got colder at night, he could turn it on to keep them warm and endure the long dark night.
Jiang Ning likes to get into bed early when she has nothing to do. She was just about to go to bed when the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, “Sister!”
She was wondering where the walkie-talkie had come from when she found out it was Rong Sanshao.
Jiang Ning was puzzled, “How did you know the channel?”
“Never mind how I know, I just know.”
His voice sounded proud, while Rong Sanshao was lounging on the other end, playing with his slippers. “Sis, are you short on food and drink? Should I bring some over?”
“No need.” She didn’t want to be bothered and just wanted to be left alone.
“How about coming over to play mahjong?” Rong Sanshao was so bored he was counting his toe hairs. “I’ll bring my Ah Ben over too.”
Ah Ben was the stupid and silly Tibetan Mastiff.
If it weren’t for its protection, Rong Sanshao would have been torn apart by the cannibals in the deep mountains long ago.
Jiang Ning really didn’t know what to talk to him about. “Can you stop bothering me?”
“Don’t, it’s so boring, I’m about to die of boredom.”
Rong Sanshao couldn’t go out, his family didn’t pay any attention to him, and his relatives found him more annoying than poop. The second-generation residents of the community only knew how to flatter, his cousin kept self-harming due to emotional trauma, and he was so bored he wanted to hang himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be flirting with Sister Jiang.
Since they couldn’t go out, she couldn’t barge into the Rong family and beat him up, right?
“Sis, thanks to your reminder, the high wall of my house was just built yesterday, and Eternal night came today.”
Jiang Ning hinted, and he promptly discussed it with the old man.
The old man really had a way. He donated a batch of food to the police station, and the police station promised to send two officers to guard the Rong family.
Although there’s only two officers, their skills were not even inferior to bodyguards, but what the Rong family wanted was intimidation.
To give everyone a warning, the Rong family was the primary official protected object. Whoever dared to have any ideas would try it out.
Jiang Ning thought, the Rong family had built high walls, but other families hadn’t.
Not wanting to hear him babble, she was about to hang up the walkie-talkie, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, “Don’t open the door easily, even if it’s the security guards patrolling the community.”
A favor was thin as paper. Three top-level off-road vehicles had already been confiscated.
Furthermore, Coke’s follower Ah Ben, is still at the Rong family’s residence.
Compared to the extreme daytime, the days of eternal night are much harder to endure.
During the extreme daytime, all you need to do is draw the curtains, and as long as you don’t leave the community, there’s no risk. But eternal night is completely different; it’s as if evil is everywhere in the dark, and you never know when danger might leap out from a corner.
Moreover, you don’t even know if the people who usually greet you with smiles will reveal their ferocious faces in the darkness and raise their knives without hesitation.
The mental oppression is extremely agonizing.
Zhang Chao turned on the walkie-talkie. “Anning, are you and Brother Shen okay?”
There was a chaotic loud noises of smashing and banging coming from the other side and it seem to be everywhere.
“We’re okay, how about you guys?”
“Stay safe, don’t come out if you don’t have to.” Zhang Chao sounded very anxious, panting heavily. “It’s chaotic outside, there’s looting and rioting everywhere.”
In just three days, the spread was as fast as a zombie apocalypse in a movie.
It started with gangs committing robberies.
But soon, those who had been beaten and robbed by the gangs put on masks and picked up knives, attacking fellow sufferers like themselves.
The darkness and brutality that completely liberated human nature during eternal night spread even faster than a virus.
The slums erupted the fastest, with a constant stream of people rushing out, smashing streetlights, breaking light bulbs, wielding iron rods to vandalize roadside shops, and storming into one residential building after another…
The police station had been prepared, but they were overwhelmed.
They recruited many more officers for security patrols, but when facing the surging tide of rioters, they were like driftweed in a storm, instantly submerged.
Never wear a uniform, or you’ll be the first target.
How many people fell in pools of blood, never to rise again.
Jiang Ning felt a pang of distress. “Are you guys okay? Your own safety is important, don’t try to be a hero.”
“We’re fine.” Zhang Chao cautioned, “The police station can’t handle it all. The rioters will probably come to your place soon, so be careful…”
Before he finished speaking, a piercing scream rang out.
Jiang Ning immediately got up and headed to the rooftop.
“Anning, what’s wrong?”
“It’s chaos here too.” Jiang Ning hurriedly hung up the walkie-talkie. “With high walls and an electric fence, even if the rioters come, they won’t dare to rush to my house first.”
She put on night vision goggles and rushed to the rooftop.
The screams came from Building 32 which is very far from Building 50.
Jiang Ning took out binoculars and saw a dozen or so thugs rushing out with weapons, wearing security guard uniforms.
A girl in lace pajamas fled barefoot, but in the next moment, a man grabbed her hair and dragged her back inside…
Jiang Ning had some impression of her; she seemed to be Chen Yanfei’s close friend, the one who criticized her the most during the alpaca incident.
Right, it was her brother who attacked the security team captain.
There were screams of women from the house, and several men were dragged to the front yard, including the usually arrogant playboy.
The captain, surrounded by several security guards, walked in with indifferent steps.
There was no trace of his usual politeness; his face was full of mockery and murderous intent.
He took the baseball bat from the security guard and swung it at the playboy several times, smashing his head and causing blood to flow, but he still wasn’t satisfied. He forced him to crawl under his legs like a dog.
The playboy cried and complied, but the captain didn’t let him off. He broke his hands and feet one by one, then had several security guards drag him into the room…
