145: Lu Yu and Jiang Fei asked Da Huang to pass the note

Seeing Jiang Fei, the homeless man stumbled to his feet.

His disheveled hair was matted with blood scabs and mud on his face, and his voice was rough and hoarse.

"Fei Fei... my good daughter..."

It was then that Jiang Fei recognized the homeless man in front of her as Chen Fengping.

After a week, her scumbag father had fallen so low?

It was surprisingly satisfying.

"Get out of the way, don't block the path."

Noticing the gun in Jiang Fei's hand, Chen Fengping fearfully started to move aside, but remembering his purpose for being there, he gritted his teeth and continued to block the unit entrance.

"I'll leave once I've finished speaking."

"Fei Fei, our family is in trouble now. Your grandmother is dead, Wenhao has become an idiot, Wenwen is seriously injured, your Aunt Fang Yan had her legs crippled by rioters, and I'm also injured..."

Chen Fengping unconsciously used his clothes to cover his lower body, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of hatred in his voice:

"Those damned rioters! They stole all my gold bars and hoarded supplies! The authorities don't care about our lost property, and I can't even afford to hire workers to repair the villa!"

"I have nothing left. You work for the Rescue Team and have opened two shops. You have points and supplies. Can you lend your father some?"

The little property he had left was all spent at the Hospital for medical treatment.

If he didn't get treatment soon, his wound would become infected and fester, turning him into a eunuch forever.

On top of that, there was still an idiot at home, and two injured people waiting for treatment.

He didn't want to be unable to have sex for the rest of his life, nor did he want to fall to the lowest level of survivors.

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality; who would want to live a hard life?

Chen Fengping began to play the emotional card: "Actually, sometimes I regret it deeply. If I hadn't been so infatuated with Fang Yan back then, I wouldn't have separated from your mother."

"Your mother was a very good woman, I wasn't worthy... Ah!!!"

A dagger was plunged fiercely into Chen Fengping's shoulder.

Jiang Fei's eyes were icy: "What right do you have to mention my mother?"

"Even if I feed my supplies to dogs or throw them in the trash, I wouldn't give you a single bit."

Chen Fengping was both angry and in pain: "I am your father! The heavens will strike you down for treating me like this!"

"Ah ah ah!!!"

Jiang Fei twisted the dagger forcefully, brutally tearing a piece of flesh from Chen Fengping, then kicked him away from the unit entrance.

Chen Fengping fell to the ground screaming, his body convulsing in pain, and suddenly saw Jiang Fei raise her gun.

"You, what do you want to do! You are with the Rescue Team! You can't kill me! If you kill me, you will be punished!"

"Of course, I wouldn't bear to kill you." Jiang Fei attached a silencer and shot Chen Fengping in the ankle.

"I heard Fang Yan is crippled. You two are husband and wife, how can you not share in the suffering?"

Dying is too boring. She wanted her scumbag father to live a painful life in the apocalypse, without a glimmer of hope.

Chen Fengping was now completely speechless from the pain, his face as pale as paper.

Jiang Fei was about to use her walkie-talkie to contact the Patrol Team to take Chen Fengping away.

Suddenly, members of the Patrol Team arrived.

At the same time, Lu Yu came out of the unit entrance, already having thought of a reason for Jiang Fei:

"This person tried to rob and kill, was discovered and injured by the Rescue Team, and will be taken back and dealt with according to the rules."

"Yes, Captain Lu." The team member dragged away the weakened Chen Fengping.

Jiang Fei stared at Lu Yu: "You contacted the Patrol Team?"

"Yeah, I saw you didn't intend to kill Chen Fengping, so I contacted nearby team members to handle it."

Lu Yu calmly reached out his hand: "Zhao Rui and the others are also in the hallway."

He wasn't the only one eavesdropping and watching.

Hearing this, Jiang Fei walked into the unit building with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Chuxia, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui were crouching in the stairwell on the first floor, all looking innocent.

"...What are you doing?"

Xiao Chuxia answered honestly: "Waiting to strike."

"Brother Lu came back from work just now and found Chen Fengping standing at your door, so we chased him away."

"Who knew he didn't leave, but went to the unit entrance to wait for you, saying he had something important to tell you."

"We were afraid he really had something for you, and also afraid he might try to harm you, so we hid in the hallway, ready to come out and help you at any time."

Ling Zhaorui: "I can testify, she's telling the truth."

Su Liuyuan: "We really didn't expect, Captain, that you would act so cleanly and efficiently, completely not needing us."

Jiang Fei felt both helpless and warm-hearted.

It felt good to be cared for by her teammates, but this sneaky method was unnecessary.

"Where are your walkie-talkies?"

Ling Zhaorui: "Charging at Brother Lu's house. We're using his generator."

"Brother Lu's walkie-talkie was just picked up."

No wonder she hadn't been able to contact her teammates before.

Jiang Fei told them about the upcoming sandstorm, routinely using them as a shield:

"I got iron plates and foam strips from Crippled Wang. We'll seal the windows tonight."

Lu Yu and the others went to the back door to move things.

There were two welding machines in total. Lu Yu was responsible for sealing rooms 301-305, and Jiang Fei for 203 and 204.

The others assisted.

After more than an hour, all the windows were sealed, and everyone went back to rest.

Jiang Fei took a shower with the water stored in the bathroom, changed into clean pajamas, and lay down in bed.

Big Yellow trotted into the bedroom, a bag of fruit candy in his mouth.

"Meow!"

My master sent it to you!

A note was taped to the packaging, on which was written—

"Don't let unworthy people affect your mood."

Jiang Fei gently stroked the words on the paper.

To be honest, when she faced her scumbag father, she wasn't as calm as she appeared.

The resentment accumulated over two lifetimes in her heart was even deeper than that towards Li Yanping's mother and daughter, and her junior and senior classmates.

That was supposed to be her father, yet he abandoned her and her mother.

Later, he allowed Grandma Chen Wenhao and the others to wantonly humiliate and torment her.

If it weren't for her scumbag father's family indirectly causing her mother's death, how could she have gone to Li Yanping's house, living a life dependent on others...

"Meow meow."

Sensing Jiang Fei's emotional distress, Big Yellow worriedly rubbed his head against her hand.

The constant purring gradually relaxed Jiang Fei.

She now had Big Yellow, friends, and an endless supply of resources.

She should look forward, not always dwell on the past.

Besides, without those past experiences, she wouldn't have what she had today.

Blessings and misfortunes are intertwined; what is lost will always return in another way.

What matters is the present.

Jiang Fei suddenly felt enlightened and experienced an unprecedented sense of ease.

"My adorable Big Yellow." Jiang Fei couldn't help but pick up Big Yellow, frantically rubbing his fluffy cheeks.

Until Big Yellow couldn't stand Jiang Fei's enthusiasm and tried to struggle.

Jiang Fei released him and took out a pen and an energy bar.

She drew a few strokes on the back of the note and re-taped it to the energy bar.

"Take it back to your master."

Only with give and take can a relationship last.

Big Yellow, carrying the energy bar, scurried back into 301, jumped onto Lu Yu, and dropped the item.

When he saw the smiling face drawn on the note, Lu Yu's eyes curved slightly, understanding that Jiang Fei meant for him to rest assured.

Lu Yu rubbed Big Yellow's head and rewarded him with a can of food: "You did well, keep up the good work next time."

Big Yellow was confused.

No! You two-legged beasts are only separated by one wall! Why bother this cat? Can't you just shout and chat directly?!

—

The next day, morning.

Jiang Fei arrived at the community entrance before 6 AM for the assembly.

Last night's wind had already stopped.

Rescue Team members living in Mingshang arrived one after another.

Five military trucks were parked at the entrance.

Xu Qianyao opened the cargo doors of two of them.

Each truck was loaded with hundreds of thickened wooden boards, countless foam strips, and various installation tools, protective masks, and so on.

Xu Qianyao casually pointed to a few team members:

"You stay here and be responsible for using the loudspeaker to notify residents to come downstairs to collect sand protection items and supplies. Let them take the wooden boards to seal their windows themselves. The tools are for their use and must be collected afterward."

"Protective gear will be distributed per person, one set per person, don't give out more."

"The rest of you get in the trucks with me; we're going to remove the insulation panels."

The insulation panels installed on the outside of the residential buildings were not fixed permanently. If they were blown off by a sandstorm, they would injure people, windows, etc., so they had to be removed in advance.

Jiang Fei was about to get in the truck when Xu Qianyao called out to her.

"I have something to tell you."

"Zhou Wanqing ran away."
