178: Trust the official

Staff: "Go to the community to check your test results. If it's negative, you can get a green wristband as proof of health and go out."

"There are only 5 spots a day. Few people know about it now, so if you want to go, hurry up."

"Thank you." Jiang Fei put on a disposable coverall and went to the community.

Her test results were fine, and she successfully received a green wristband.

She drove the truck parked downstairs towards the back gate of the residential area.

Soldiers were guarding it.

They only let Jiang Fei pass after seeing her wristband.

Comrades from the military were guarding every intersection.

Unable to find an empty spot, Jiang Fei had no choice but to drive to a remote suburb.

Midway, she contacted A Meng via walkie-talkie.

"Can you still come out today?"

If they couldn't, she would deliver the goods herself in batches.

A Meng: "Yes, Miss Jiang, we went to the community early this morning to get our wristbands."

"Then come find me in the suburbs."

Jiang Fei cut off communication and arrived at the suburbs.

There was no one around, so she took out 5 large trucks from the Supermarket warehouse and loaded them with 100 large iron boxes.

Crippled Wang and the others hadn't arrived yet, so Jiang Fei took out a serving of steamed buns and a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge for breakfast.

After eating and drinking her fill, a van drove towards her.

It was Crippled Wang, A Meng, Dao Ba, Wu Dayong, and Wu Xiaowei.

Everyone was wearing protective gear.

"Long time no see, Miss Jiang!"

The Wu brothers greeted Jiang Fei enthusiastically.

Jiang Fei looked at Wu Xiaowei's missing right hand and wanted to ask if she could drive, but she was afraid of overthinking it, given that it was Wu Xiaowei's scar.

Wu Xiaowei, however, understood Jiang Fei's gaze and said casually:

"Don't worry, Miss Jiang, I can drive just fine, just a bit slower than you all."

"Don't overthink it, just say what you want to say. I don't mind about my right hand."

It was her body that was incomplete, not her heart.

Jiang Fei patted Wu Xiaowei's shoulder: "Slow is fine, safety first."

Crippled Wang looked at the 5 large trucks and asked in confusion: "Boss, did you drive them here alone?"

"I found someone else to help me," Jiang Fei casually fabricated, changing the subject:

"After delivering the goods today, these trucks will be entrusted to your care. When you have time, drive them out of the Safety Shelter and take a lap."

"Don't drive too far, just around the Safety Shelter, then drive them back. One or two trips a day, until I contact you."

"If anyone asks, just say you're working for me, and you don't know what's in the vehicles; you're only responsible for driving."

The Safety Shelter was under lockdown.

She could say the food was delivered by her boss previously, but fresh herbs were hard to explain.

She had to make Crippled Wang and the others put on a show, pretending to pick up goods.

Anyway, Crippled Wang's people dared not interact with the authorities, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.

She would also say hello to Director Ning later, and the guards at the entrance and exit would not interrogate them.

Crippled Wang didn't understand Jiang Fei's actions, but he was sensible enough not to ask too many questions.

The more you know, the faster you die; he understood!

Jiang Fei distributed the truck keys.

One vehicle per person, and she drove the truck in front to lead the way.

Upon arriving at the police station entrance, Jiang Fei told Crippled Wang to hide in the truck's driver's seat.

Immediately, she entered the police station, intending to find Director Ning through the guard, but unexpectedly met Xiao Ma, who had just arrived for work.

Wearing a protective suit, his voice had returned to normal.

"Miss Jiang, are you looking for Director Ning?"

Jiang Fei: "Yes, I'm here to deliver instant food. Is your cold better?"

Xiao Ma said with lingering fear: "I recovered two days ago. I thought I had contracted the virus before, and it scared me so much that I wrote a will overnight."

"I'll take you to see Director Ning."

Jiang Fei followed Xiao Ma upstairs to the office, then handed Director Ning the food list she had written last night:

"My boss can produce over 100,000 plants of each herb. The quantity is large, so it will take a few more days to deliver them."

Director Ning was shocked.

That would be over a million plants of herbs, enough to solve the shortage of herbs!

Then he looked at the contents of the list.

5000 bags of bread, 20 grams of gold per bag.

4000 packs of compressed biscuits, 20 grams per pack... In a post-apocalyptic world where people can't get enough to eat, how is this any different from charity!

As expected of the Mo family from the capital! Wealthy beyond measure!

If he ever had the chance to go to the capital, he must thank them properly!

"Little Jiang, where should I send the gold?"

"I have a truck downstairs. Load the gold into the cargo compartment, and I'll take it directly."

Jiang Fei also informed Director Ning about the exemption from inspection.

"Remember to have your people disinfect thoroughly; absolutely no virus must be brought into the Safety Shelter."

Director Ning issued a pass to Jiang Fei and instructed Xiao Ma to arrange the loading of goods and the collection of gold.

Jiang Fei followed Xiao Ma downstairs and got into the driver's seat of the truck.

Wu Xiaowei and Wu Dayong sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, respectively, showing no reaction to the police officers loading the gold.

Crippled Wang, Dao Ba, and A Meng were squeezed in the back seat, not daring to lift their heads, wishing they could become invisible on the spot.

They were too cowardly.

Jiang Fei couldn't bear to look, so she gave the pass to Crippled Wang, then took the truck keys and went to help the police officers move the goods.

The weather was hot, and she was covered from head to toe. After half an hour of moving, Jiang Fei's clothes were soaked with sweat.

The protective suit was airtight, and the accumulated sweat inside was extremely uncomfortable.

Some police officers' protective suits had their ankle areas bulging with sweat.

When they pulled up their pant legs, a large puddle of sweat poured out with a splash.

Xiao Ma brought heat-relief medicine and electrolyte water from the police station and distributed them to everyone.

To avoid contracting the virus, everyone had to return to their rooms in the police station, disinfect, and only then could they remove their masks and face shields to take medicine and drink water.

They were busy until the afternoon. The supplies were moved, and the gold was loaded into Jiang Fei's vehicle.

The police officers left, and Crippled Wang and the others got out of the truck and drove away in the large trucks.

As Jiang Fei just sat in the driver's seat of the truck, the walkie-talkie rang.

Xu Qianyao: "All Rescue Team members come to the isolation zone for support! Catch the escaped survivors!"

"Team members without protective gear, do not come!"

Jiang Fei quickly drove away from the police station, put all the gold from the cargo compartment into the Supermarket warehouse, changed into a new protective suit, and rushed to the isolation zone.

Nearing the isolation zone, she saw hundreds of men and women frantically crashing into the iron fence surrounding the intersection.

"Why should I be locked up?! It's not like I wanted to get infected! Let me out!"

"You have no right to restrict my personal freedom! I want to go home!"

"Whoever dares to stop me, I'll infect you with the virus! Cough, cough, cough!"

Sizzle sizzle—

The arriving team members immediately used electric batons or tasers to stun these people.

Team members inside the isolation zone also simultaneously caught survivors attempting to climb over the wall and escape.

The authorities had tried to communicate with them, but they wouldn't listen, so this method had to be adopted; otherwise, if people escaped, who knows how many survivors would be infected.

Jiang Fei got out of the car, asked a team member for an electric baton, and joined the capture.

"You won't leave here either!"

Suddenly, a dirty hand reached out, trying to pull down Jiang Fei's face shield.

Jiang Fei backhanded with the baton, striking the man heavily on the head.

The man staggered and fell to the ground instantly.

The next second, Jiang Fei pulled out her pistol and pulled the trigger.

Bang—!

The bullet shot into the man's chest.

"Whoever wants to die, I'll send you off right now!"

The chaotic and noisy isolation zone fell silent for a moment due to the gunshot.

Xu Qianyao seized the opportunity to raise a handheld loudspeaker and shouted: "You must believe the authorities! The authorities will definitely develop an antidote to save you!"

"All you need to do is cooperate! And wait!"

"If you still don't cooperate and try to spread the virus, you will be killed on the spot!"

As soon as he said this, the team members also switched to firearms.

Countless dark muzzles pointed at them, and those who wanted to escape were scared.

Some stumbled back into the factory building, while others sat on the ground crying in despair, venting their grievances and fear.

No one wanted to die, and no one wanted to be infected.

But they were the unlucky ones.

The authorities currently couldn't cure the virus; what else could they do but cause trouble?

Xu Qianyao had half of the team members send the unconscious people back to the factory building, and the other half comfort the survivors.

By evening, the isolation zone had returned to tranquility.

All team members who came to the isolation zone had to undergo testing to confirm they were not infected with the virus before they could leave.

This time, the test results were immediate.

By the time Jiang Fei finished her test, it was already late at night.

On her way home, she also stopped by the warehouse on West Street and collected the gold inside into the Supermarket.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 5,000,000 grams]

[Current unlock progress: 40%]

I'll start loading the herbs as soon as I get back!

At this moment, in a house in Dongyang District.

Shang Guangwang listened to the report from his informant, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Jiang Fei actually delivered the food so quickly..."
