General Zhang had ordered his subordinates to prepare a residence for them.
On the way, someone found Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu, and then they were brought to a small community.
Before doomsday, this community was considered a mid-range community, so the environment was very good. They were assigned a well-decorated room with four bedrooms and two living rooms, with electricity. Coal was used for cooking and heating, and the furniture was very clean.
"I didn't expect to see honeycomb briquettes again after so many years." Zhang Hai could not help but sigh when he saw those briquettes.
Jiangning had coal mines, but after doomsday, energy was scarce, so they began to use briquettes again.
Ran Xiyu deliberately made some extra food for dinner and put it in a box. She also carried a bag of rice and went out with Jiang Liushi.
However, when they arrived at the place they had passed during the day, the female workers had changed.
"We work in shifts here, so the daytime workers have already gotten off work," the supervisor said.
Can you tell me Jiang Xiaochu's address? "Ran Xiyu asked.
An ordinary person's address was not confidential. Jiang Liushi sent a cigarette to the manager and got the address smoothly.
The supervisor was reluctant to smoke it, so he carefully put it on his ear.
If he knew that this kind of loose smoke was useless to Jiang Liushi, how would he feel?
Even if it was a transaction, Jiang Liushi was too lazy to take out the cigarettes, because the amount was too small.
According to the address given by the supervisor, Ran Xiyu and Jiang Liushi came to a relatively remote residential area.
The more they walked, the more they felt the environment was different. The electric lights began to decrease, and the houses on both sides became more old. Moreover, they were closer to the construction site and the place where the wall was being built. Even the streets became dirty, and there was an indescribable strange smell in the air.
Ran Xiyu looked at the house numbers, and finally, they came to the downstairs of a unit building.
"Who is it?"
After knocking on the door, a woman's voice came from inside.
"I'm Jiang Xiaochu's friend," Ran Xiyu said.
Soon after, a woman opened the door. She looked to be in her late twenties, with lipstick on her lips. Her attire was considered exquisite in the apocalypse.
She looked at Ran Xiyu and frowned.
"Are you looking for Jiang Xiaochu?" The woman asked.
"Yes, is Jiang Xiaochu there?"
"No."
"What about Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang?" Ran Xiyu asked.
"No, no," the woman said impatiently.
At this time, another voice came from inside the house, "What's with all the noise?"
A man in his thirties walked out from inside. He was wearing a uniform and looked a little oily.
Originally, the man looked annoyed, but when he saw Ran Xiyu, his expression changed, "Oh? Isn't this Xiyu? "
"Zhang Haojing? Why are you here? "Ran Xiyu was surprised.
"This is my home," Zhang Haojing said.
"Come on, Xiyu. Don't just stand outside," Zhang Haojing said enthusiastically.
Ran Xiyu frowned and asked, "Where are Jiang Xiaochu and her parents? Isn't this their residence? "
"Oh, they were taken in by me. At this time, they are in the coal field, making briquettes, "Zhang Haojing said casually.
Although Ran Xiyu had not been exposed to this kind of work, Jiang Liushi had some knowledge about it.
That was really dirty and tiring physical work.
According to Ran Xiyu, Jiang Xiaochu's parents should be in their 50s, but they were still working at night. On the other hand, Jiang Xiaochu still worked during the day and went back to work at night. She simply worked around the clock.
"Uncle and Aunt, why are they like this? Weren't they protected in advance? "Ran Xiyu asked.
"That was a long time ago. Now that I've come to Jiangning, I'm the one who supports my family. Xiyu, it's rare for us to meet. Come in and have a meal. Why are you still standing there? Go and cook! "Zhang Haojing said to the woman.
"You don't need to cook. We have already eaten," Ran Xiyu said.
The woman stared at Zhang Haojing, but then she saw the lunch box Ran Xiyu was carrying. "Why did you bring food here? Why are you so polite?"
"These things are for Jiang Xiaochu and her parents," Ran Xiyu said.
"Actually, you don't need to. In terms of food, I treat Jiang Xiaochu and her parents well," Zhang Haojing said with a smile.
At that moment, the sound of someone climbing the stairs came from behind, and then Jiang Xiaochu and her parents walked up.
"Xiyu? Mr. Jiang? "Jiang Xiaochu was stunned when she saw Ran Xiyu and Jiang Liushi standing at the door.
Ran Xiyu had been wearing a cold face, but when she saw Jiang Xiaochu, she suddenly smiled. "Xiaochu, nice to meet you."
After doomsday, Jiang Xiaochu and her parents seemed to have aged a lot. Their faces were full of exhaustion, but their temperament was still very good.
When they saw Ran Xiyu, they were also surprised. It was estimated that Jiang Xiaochu had told them about Ran Xiyu's situation, so they didn't mention anything about Ran Xiyu's family. Instead, they just asked about Ran Xiyu's living conditions.
"Xiyu, why did you join a survivor team? There is no future in a survivor team. You should join the military and the government to have real stability and a future. Moreover, girls only need stability. I think it's better for you to leave the team and live with us. I'll arrange a good job for you, "Zhang Haojing said.
Ran Xiyu didn't even look at him. Instead, she gave the things in her hands to Jiang Xiaochu and her parents. "This is a small gift from me."
"This is..."
"Don't refuse," Ran Xiyu said.
Jiang Xiaochu had no choice but to accept it. When she opened the box, she was stunned.
Inside the box was roasted mutant meat, and a fascinating aroma immediately assaulted her nostrils.
Zhang Haojing and his woman, who were standing to the side, were stunned.
Mutant meat!
Zhang Haojing was also a paranormal, and he was working for the government. However, the amount of mutant meat he could get every month was limited.
Moreover, it was not ordinary mutant meat. It was obviously the relatively tender part of mutant meat. Moreover, it was not dried meat, but fresh mutant meat that was carefully cooked.
However, since they were a team of survivors, they had to hunt mutant beasts. It was not strange for them to take out some mutant beast meat. However, it was too wasteful to give it to ordinary people.
That was only the first layer, and when they opened the second layer, they saw a layer of vegetables. Fresh and verdant vegetables!
Zhang Haojing's eyes widened. After doomsday, what they lacked the most was not meat, but vegetables and fruits!
Fresh vegetables and fruits could be planted. Although the plants had mutated, they could still be eaten. However, the land was too small, and the few vegetables and fruits that could be planted were given priority to scientists. Even the military leaders had to be ranked behind them.
Zhang Haojing didn't know how far he would have to go.
For ordinary people, it would be considered good if they could eat a little soup cooked with diced vegetables. Eating fresh vegetables? This was something he didn't even dare to think about.
Jiang Xiaochu and his wife were also in disbelief.
"And these." Jiang Liushi handed the rice to Jiang Xiaochu and her wife.
Jiang Xiaochu and his wife were still in shock, so they hurriedly refused, but Ran Xiyu forced them into their hands.
"Fifty pounds of rice is too much, too much …" They worked every day, so they couldn't get much rations. That fifty pounds of rice was their rations for more than a month.
"And …" Ran Xiyu took off a small backpack from her back.
Those things were collected by Shi Ying Squad on the way. They were things like honey, canned fruits, and so on.
Those things had a shelf life, so it would be a pity if they expired. This time, Ran Xiyu wanted to give something to Jiang Xiaochu, so she thought of those things.
Jiang Liushi had a lot of similar things in his warehouse.
Many places that ordinary people couldn't go could be easily reached by Jiang Liushi's minibus. Naturally, they could collect a lot of things.
Zhang Haojing and his wife were stunned when they saw Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu taking out so many things.
They were too generous!
"Come on, Xiaochu, let me help you. Oh, Xiyu, you really spent a lot of money … "Zhang Haojing reacted and quickly reached out to carry the box. At the same time, Jiang Xiaochu's wife also reached out to grab the box.
But at this moment, the woman suddenly swayed, and her vision blurred for a moment.
"Don't touch it," said Ran Xiyu.
Her voice seemed to be an order to the woman. She nodded blankly, then slowly walked to the side and stood there obediently.
"I don't dare to touch it, I don't dare to touch it," whispered the woman.
Zhang Haojing was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that Ran Xiyu was such a strange paranormal! Moreover, it seemed that she was definitely not weak!
"Xiyu, what are you doing?" asked Zhang Haojing.
Ran Xiyu's temperament became cold again. She looked at Zhang Haojing and said, "These things are my gifts to Jiang Xiaochu and her parents. If you dare to touch them, I won't spare you. Moreover, if I find out that you mistreated Jiang Xiaochu and her parents, I won't let you off either. Also, don't call me Xiyu. We're not that close. "
As long as Zhang Haojing called her 'Xiyu' intimately, Ran Xiyu would feel very uncomfortable.
She was a very arrogant person.
Zhang Haojing was stunned for a moment. Being stared at by Ran Xiyu, he had the urge to nod and agree immediately. However, he suddenly reacted and said angrily, "Ran Xiyu, what right do you have to teach me a lesson? Before doomsday, you were already so arrogant. After doomsday, do you still think that you're the Ran Group's princess? Let me tell you, times have changed! In front of me, you're just... "
However, Zhang Haojing couldn't finish his words.
Before he could see clearly, the young man next to Ran Xiyu had already pointed a gun at his head.
Zhang Haojing didn't know how it had happened. It was as if the gun had always been there.
A bone-chilling sensation immediately crept up his back.
If Jiang Liushi wanted to kill him, would he have a chance to react?
"You... What are you doing? You can't kill people here, "said Zhang Haojing.
"I don't care," said Jiang Liushi calmly.
Zhang Haojing felt that Jiang Liushi wasn't bluffing. His eyes were very cold and calm, and he knew that he would really pull the trigger.
'Who the f * ck is this guy? How dare he ignore the deterrence of the military? How dare he say that he wants to kill people? '
"Ran Xiyu... No, Miss Ran, I know. I'll listen to you. Tell your friend to calm down, "Zhang Haojing hurriedly said as he gulped.
He felt that Jiang Liushi could kill him at any time.
Ran Xiyu looked at him coldly, and then she looked at Jiang Liushi and said softly, "Brother Jiang, let him go."
"Zhang Haojing, you're right. Times have changed. In the past, I just hated you, but I couldn't do anything to you. But now, if you do something that disgusts me, Brother Jiang doesn't need to do anything. I won't let you live, "said Ran Xiyu coldly.
"Xiaochu, we're leaving. If you need anything, you can come here to find us." Ran Xiyu told Jiang Xiaochu where they lived.
Zhang Haojing was even more shocked when he heard their conversation.
All the elites of the Safety Zone lived there. It was a protected community.
Although it couldn't be compared to the real core area of the Safety Zone, it was still not a place for people like him to live.
Originally, he felt that after doomsday, he was at a higher level than Ran Xiyu. He thought that he could finally make Ran Xiyu lower her head in front of him.
However, he didn't expect that Ran Xiyu was still so much stronger than him.
Moreover, she was still disdainful of him.
