79: Jiang Fei is that fool

One person broke down and screamed, and the emotions of the other survivors were also affected, causing them to stop their unreasonable demands.

"I'm not leaving! You're the ones who wanted to move! You have to take me to a safe place! Otherwise, if I freeze to death here today, you'll all be murderers!"

"Although we didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes in Lincheng, we had houses to live in, unlike now, where we don't even have a place to hide from the snow. Either you send me back to Lincheng, or we all stay here and freeze together."

"I pay so much tax every year from my business, you should serve me! Carry me!"

Everyone spoke at once, and the team became chaotic again.

Some even tried to seize the official guns during the confusion.

Bang bang bang—!

Deafening gunshots rang out one after another, scaring the timid into screaming.

It wasn't until everyone quieted down that Director Ning allowed the Rescue Team members to lower their guns, which had been aimed at the sky.

Then, he took Yin Jing's megaphone and shouted.

"I am the Director of the Police Department and the person in charge of this transfer operation."

"Going to the Safety Shelter in Qingyang City is an order from above, no one forced you to transfer, you voluntarily got on the vehicles!"

"If you don't want to stay with the team, go back to Lincheng yourselves! If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for putting a bullet in you!"

Director Ning finished speaking irritably, turned off the megaphone, and continued to scout ahead.

The people on the spot looked at each other, some reluctantly got up and followed the team, while others walked away in the opposite direction.

They had just left Lincheng when they encountered the snow disaster, they no longer trusted the official decision, they wanted to go home.

Director Ning did not send anyone to stop or persuade them.

Everyone has their own destiny.

He couldn't ignore hundreds of thousands of people to chase after a few hundred.

—

During the insect plague, the administrators of Longxing Town were derelict in their duties, failing to immediately carry out pest control, which led to many deaths.

Those who were lucky enough to survive also died in the extreme cold.

Longxing Town became a ghost town.

Director Ning arranged the survivors into various residential communities, where soldiers and the Rescue Team distributed food, heating stoves, and outdoor emergency blankets.

The food consisted of one 300g packet of compressed biscuits and two official brand meat patties per person, a day's worth.

There were two stoves on each floor, burning durable coal. Everyone could gather together to warm themselves, and they could also use iron pots to collect the snow from outside, heat it, and drink it.

Soldiers and the Rescue Team regularly patrolled each building, firstly to prevent anyone from causing trouble, and secondly so that survivors could find them to solve any problems.

With official management, the team was barely able to maintain order.

Jiang Fei did not follow the main group to the residential buildings, instead choosing a shop downstairs in the community with Lu Yu and the others.

The doors and windows were severely shattered, and the interior was covered in ice.

Under the cover of her backpack, Jiang Fei took out a large bag of coal from the Supermarket warehouse and put it into three empty iron barrels found inside, then lit them.

Su Liuyuan and Xiao Chuxia used the axes Jiang Fei gave them to smash open all the frozen, rock-hard cabinets, and used wooden planks to board up the windows, not forgetting to leave a few gaps for ventilation.

The remaining planks were all laid on the floor.

Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui went next door to find an old-fashioned iron door that was still usable and brought it back to install on the shop.

Of the supplies distributed by the Rescue Team, Jiang Fei only requested multi-person outdoor emergency blankets.

These items were made of durable aluminized polyester film, waterproof and cold-resistant. Wrapped around the body, they could quickly provide warmth and lock in body heat.

Jiang Fei spread the emergency blankets on the wooden planks, to prevent moisture from entering their bodies if the ice on the ground melted later.

Before long, the dilapidated shop was completely transformed and fit for habitation.

"I brought potatoes and sweet potatoes. Put them on the rack over the coal to roast. Take them yourselves when they're cooked."

Seeing Jiang Fei pull out 4 potatoes, 4 sweet potatoes, 2 cans of luncheon meat, 1 packet of spiced melon seeds, and 1 packet of garlic peanuts from her backpack, Su Liuyuan couldn't help but poke her bag, sensing that there was still more inside.

"Captain, where did you buy your bag? It can hold so much."

Lu Yu looked up, wanting to hear Jiang Fei's answer.

He had been eyeing his neighbor's bag for a long time.

Jiang Fei made up a story: "A second-hand market. You can't buy it anymore."

Su Liuyuan: "That's a shame, I wanted to get a few if I had time."

Lu Yu disappointedly withdrew his gaze: "I'll go check on Big Yellow."

"Miss, the Rescue Team just said that the snow outside is new snow, very clean, and harmless to the human body. It can be melted and drunk. Should we collect some and save the bottled water?"

"Then let's go together."

An empty water tank in the Supermarket warehouse would be perfect for collecting snow, to be used for bathing and washing hair later.

Everyone's cars had empty water bottles that had been drunk.

Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui brought them back, a total of 25 empty bottles.

Jiang Fei and the others found an untouched area and began to fill the bottles with snow.

Not far away, Ling Zhaorui suddenly cried out in surprise, holding up something in his hand.

They were two crumpled red square cloths.

"There are words on them. Could they be suicide notes?"

Xiao Chuxia curiously leaned closer and read the words embroidered in white thread on one of the red cloths: "Join the Human Paradise Base, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing again, with hot meals every day."

"We are backed by the officials, have abundant supplies, and treat every family member with 100% sincerity. The Human Paradise Base welcomes your arrival at any time. Address: Liujiazi Village."

"Why does it sound like a pyramid scheme flyer?"

Su Liuyuan: "It sounds unreliable. Only a fool would believe it."

Jiang Fei's movements, as she secretly collected snow, paused.

In her previous life, she was that fool.

She believed the content on the red cloth and desperately rushed to the Human Paradise Base, only to find that it was a brothel run by a group of beasts.

They forced female survivors to sell their bodies to earn supplies from passersby.

Even teenagers and children were not spared, being made to wear dog collars and act like pets to please those people.

As for older, unattractive male survivors, those willing to submit joined in their games.

Those who refused were locked in small rooms to embroider words on red cloths, which were then distributed as flyers.

She managed to escape by feigning illness, but the remaining people continued to live lives worse than death.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, she killed Zhou Lang, the second-in-command who came up with the idea, but she didn't expect the other bastards to still create Human Paradise.

This place must be eliminated.

Not only because Human Paradise was easy to deal with and had many supplies, but also to prevent more women from being harmed.

Jiang Fei could never forget the words a battered and bruised Miss said to her before she died—

"You must run away, run as far as you can."

"Actually, not everyone in this world is evil."

People with warm hearts should not live in hell.

"You don't have to wait for me to eat, I'm going out for a bit." Jiang Fei took all the red cloths and left.

She found Yin Jing, who had just finished distributing supplies, downstairs in a residential building.

"I want to see Director Ning."

Their team had enough supplies, but the main group didn't.

Using the bastards' things to do favors was called reasonable resource utilization.

—

In a convenience store in a certain community.

The doors and windows had been simply treated for wind protection.

Director Ning sat at the table with a frown, surrounded by the head of the Rescue Team, and the directors of various sub-shelters in Lincheng.

"This heavy snow came without warning. If it doesn't stop, not to mention whether supplies will be sufficient, we'll be buried by snow in Longxing Town."

"You're worrying for nothing. Experts predicted the snow would get lighter, we just have to wait."

"Everything is afraid of accidents..."

Knock knock knock—a knock on the door interrupted the conversation.

Director Ning said, "Come in."

Xu Qianyao walked in and whispered in Director Ning's ear: "Jiang Fei wants to see you. She says she can solve part of the team's supply problem."

With a strong impression of Jiang Fei, Director Ning became interested: "Let her in."

"Old Yang, you all go back and rest first, we'll discuss this tomorrow."

The head of the team and the others left one after another.

Jiang Fei entered the convenience store, placed a red cloth on the table, and said directly: "This place uses the official name to attract survivors, then forces them to provide special services. The supplies they trick people into giving are stored in several large warehouses."

"These pests must not be left behind."

Director Ning glanced at the words on the red cloth: "How can I be sure what you're saying is true?"

Prepared, Jiang Fei took a deep breath: "Because I am a victim..."
