Chapter 43:

The electricity was cut off for a day and a night, which made many people who complained that they couldn’t live a better life feel that their lives would be even more difficult, so they even silenced their complaints, and all of them just prayed that such days of power outages during the day would not happen again. Yes, there are still many people who have been waiting for the opening of the cooling point on their side. They were still hesitating before. After the power outage, they decided to drag their families to live in no matter what. Eat two less bites, but the heat is really unbearable.

I don't know if it's the stimulation of cold supplies that can be used for cash, or this kind of life that can't see the future makes people too collapsed, and there are more and more crimes in the city. Some of them are not so courageous, and gather some "like-minded" people to watch those closed stores. At first, their goal is the restaurant, thinking that if they can find some long-lasting rice noodles, grains and oils in those stores, that would be the same. I made a profit, but I picked the locks of several restaurants, but they all went to nothing. In addition to the seats and benches that cannot be taken away, there is not even a bottle of spices such as pepper and soy sauce. It is estimated that the boss took everything that could be taken away when he left.

Later, I found that there was really nothing that could be entered in this kind of store, so those people started to pry the doors of some daily necessities stores, such as those selling clothes, shoes, and daily groceries. Many people have reaped a lot. After all, they are all inedible. Some stores want to recover some funds. In terms of food and water, the price of goods is skyrocketing, and few people put money on hundreds of thousands of clothes and shoes at that time, so the goods are backlogged. Thinking about this kind of thing without worrying about the high temperature, so I simply locked it in the warehouse of the store, so it was cheaper for the current door burglars.

In comparison, these shoplifters still have a bit of conscience, moral constraints and human nature are still there, and they only want money but not life. Another type of burglary is really devoid of humanity. Some stalkers break into empty doors and steal all the food accumulated in other people's homes and then leave. It's not fatal, but there is a group of people who stalk and wait for someone at home to break into the house. Not to mention robbery, but also killing people to vent their anger.

Those who are really rich and live in high-end residential areas can't move with their current abilities, so these people focus on living in ordinary residential areas, some grassroots cadres' homes, some with a little money but not rich or powerful Self-employed households, small foremen or employees who can still work in state-controlled supermarkets even after the closure of many shopping malls in high temperature, these people are the targets of those frenzied thugs.

Perhaps their goal at the beginning was to seek money and goods, because the people they were targeting had more channels to accumulate materials than ordinary people. But then life became more and more difficult, and what they did became more and more rampant, until they broke through the bottom line of being a human being, from seeking money to killing people for fun, these people even named their gang Doomsday Thugs.

Just like the news that broke out around this time in the last life, a group of people started committing crimes recklessly, lurking in the building at night, and quietly picking the lock to enter the door while others were sleeping during the day. The thing is to wipe the neck of the owner of the house. Some people didn't even realize it in their sleep, and their throats were cut with a knife. Those who were vigilant could not avoid a fight, but those who broke into the house all carried knives. The difference was nothing more than a death without struggle, and a painful death after being stabbed several times.

During this fight, it is inevitable that some neighbors will be disturbed. Now everyone is shutting down work and production, and no one can come out under the violent sun outside. There are no human voices, no industrial noise, and the voices in the next room are naturally obvious in the silence. . Some out of self-preservation, not to mention opening the door, wish to move all the people who can block the door in the house to block it, for fear that after robbing the neighbors, they will rob their own house. Those who dare not open the door for self-protection are mostly fine, because If someone snatches their target, they will leave immediately with their things. And those who opened the door and wanted to help were either severely injured or killed directly.

There are too many similar news. The four characters of doomsday thugs have become shadow killers lurking around everyone. No one knows where they will appear next time and who their next target will be.

Some people complained about the government's inaction on the Internet. Such a terrible criminal gang allowed them to run around. Does it mean that there is no so-called order now, and the government people have long since cared about the lives of their people. Some people even related this matter to the charging method of the cold supply point, saying that the cold supply point is just a pretext for the search for supplies. Preserving the country’s elite power, the current policy of the government is natural selection, weeding out a group of old, weak, sick, disabled and useless people first, so the higher-ups don’t care at all, otherwise, in the past, such a terrible criminal would still be a gang crime , has long been caught.

Mu Nan knew that the government didn't ignore them, but that they really couldn't recruit people. The people in this government are also people. It doesn't mean that the people working inside are omnipotent. Well, whether it is distribution of supplies or not, it takes a lot of force to preserve these things. Otherwise, ordinary people who have not received professional training will panic if they encounter a group of radical people. As long as a place is robbed once, they will It will stimulate other places to follow suit, so from the very beginning, the military and armed police control the distribution of these materials, trying to eliminate the source of possible confusion from the very beginning.

Most of the power is used to ensure the basic life of the masses, and the crime rate at this time is almost rising in a straight line. In addition, the cameras at the street intersections are exposed to the high temperature every day. In fact, many places have broken down. , It was too late to repair and replace, which also made it very difficult to investigate the flow of this group of people.

But Mu Nan knew that these so-called doomsday thugs would be caught in the end, and in order to achieve the purpose of deterrence, these people were directly sentenced to death. This was the first time in history that the death penalty was broadcast live in public.

The above used the words "heavy code" in troubled times to the extreme. After the doomsday thugs were executed, they really shocked many people for a while. Those who can't wait to follow the desperation and seek wealth have retracted within the moral line.

In the previous life, Mu Nan was also one of the people who ate melons watching the execution on the Internet. This kind of unprecedented event may only be seen once in a lifetime. And the information of those doomsday thugs was also released at that time, but Mu Nan didn't look carefully, but just casually glanced at the photos above, but even if he saw it at that time, he might not be able to remember it now, after all, they were all related to him People who have never had any intersections in their lives.

But he didn't expect that in this life, he would actually see something alive, even so close to him.

As usual, after the sun went down, he and Qin Huai woke up from their sleep and made some refreshing food, which was equivalent to breakfast. After eating and playing computer games for a while, it was almost twelve o'clock, and now the sun was going down It was very late, and it was almost nine o'clock before they disappeared completely, so they didn't bother at home for long, and it was time for them to go to pick up supplies together. It has been almost two months since they received supplies once every three days, and Jian Chu is still sighing, not knowing when this day will end.

Mu Nan thought silently in her heart, the days when she can live a normal life like this are indeed coming to an end.

When he came out of the building, Mu Nan immediately saw several men squatting on the flower bed at the entrance of their building, smoking. There were four people in total, two squatting, two standing, all talking to each other, They chatted leisurely, as if they were ordinary people who came out to let the wind go, but Mu Nan recognized the bald man squatting and smoking at a glance. He was one of the doomsday thugs.

Now bald head is really normal. In order to save water and make themselves more comfortable, many men shave their hair directly to avoid greasy, itchy and uncomfortable, so the bald head is not conspicuous at all. What stands out is that from the back of the ear to the chin, there is a scar that looks like a centipede. The key point is that this person has a round head and a very kind smile, with big earlobes, a bit like Maitreya Buddha. like. Even with an expressionless face, he still looks like a good person. At the beginning, it was because of the great contrast and the scar behind his ear that Mu Nan took a second look at the photo.

Of course, he didn't deliberately remember, a group of people who had been shot to death, he had nothing to remember what they were doing, but when this person appeared in front of him, Mu Nan recognized it immediately.

But he doesn't remember anyone in his community who was attacked by doomsday thugs. He doesn't know if it didn't happen, or it happened in another building but the news didn't break out. The news, the WeChat group in the community only glances occasionally, and doesn't pay attention all the time, so now he doesn't know if there is any difference between the two lives, or if he just missed some information in the last life.

And these people are squatting under their building now, so their target is not the people in their building. Thinking about it this way, he even felt a chill all over his body, and his nervous stomach throbbed a little. Those are all perverts who kill without batting an eyelid. He has killed many people until now. Even if he is reborn once, he is still just a mortal body, and he will panic if he should panic.

Seeing that Mu Nan's footsteps slowed down, and his expression was a bit strange, Qin Huai frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

As soon as they stopped, the three people walking in front looked back: "What's wrong?"

If Qin Huai was the only one, then of course Mu Nan would have said it right away, but now there are outsiders around, so what can he say? Squatting under their building now, watching those people who receive supplies come in and out, maybe they are choosing targets.

Mu Nan grabbed Qin Huai's hand, and when he was hesitating, Qin Huai turned to Yu Zibai and the others and said, "Go first, we'll be here later."

Seeing that they seemed to have something to talk about, the three of them took a step first. After taking a few steps, Jian Chu couldn't help but look back, and saw Qin Huai bent slightly, holding Mu Nan's face in one hand, with worried eyes He was comforting Mu Nan who suddenly turned pale for some reason, that gentle and meticulous look was not quite like the way a brother treats a younger brother.

After the outsiders left, Mu Nan pulled Qin Huai nervously, and noticed that there was no one around, so he pulled Qin Huai closer, and whispered to him: "I just saw that the doomsday thugs are downstairs .”

Qin Huai was taken aback for a moment, seemed to recall a bit, and said uncertainly: "Those people who smoked at the flower bed."

Mu Nan's eyes widened slightly: "How do you know?"

Qin Huai: "The aura is a bit different."

Although the aura is somewhat inexplicable, sometimes you can really judge a person by the aura, just like a soldier, even if he wears ordinary clothes, the aura around his body is different from that of ordinary people. The aura is different between those who have done something and those who have not experienced it. The aura around someone who has killed people is even more difficult to hide. When you meet experienced veterans, you don't even need to touch them, you only need to look at them to smell them. The opponent's body smelled of blood.

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai nervously: "What should we do? Shall we go home and lock the door? Shall we tell Jian Chu and the others? We won't be so unlucky to be targeted?"

Qin Huai rubbed his head comfortingly: "Don't worry."

Mu Nan frowned: "There's no rush." ​​Thinking of the news I've seen before, these people are so rampant that when they encounter a door that they can't get in, they directly chop with knives without any scruples, and they only choose to act during the day, even during the day. It's the police, the police can't come, so they don't worry about making noise at all. Anyone who dares to come out and meddle in other people's business will just kill them. It's really a group of crazy thugs, so that no one dares to take care of other people's houses Life and death, how can you count on the quality of your own anti-theft door, no matter how hard the quality is, can it withstand a whole day of hacking? Thinking about it this way made me panic even more.

Mu Nan couldn't help covering her stomach.

Qin Huai hurriedly supported him: "Does your stomach hurt?"

Mu Nan nodded: "It hurts, brother, should we stay in a hotel for a day? Thinking that they might lurk into the building later, waiting for the day to make a move, the people in the whole building are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered." , I felt terrible."

Let him take advantage of the fact that the Prophet strikes first, Mu Nan never thought about it, those people have killed many people now, even if he knows that they are doomsday thugs, he can't deal with them now, not to mention the value of force He was originally a war scum, even if Qin Huai had some skills, he would never let Qin Huai take any risks. As for calling the police now, what can he say if he calls the police, he can't think of any other way except to hide.

Qin Huai knew that he was panicking, so he repeatedly comforted him: "It's okay, Nan Nan, look at me, since we found out their identities in advance, whether we can get rid of them is the second priority, but our own safety can definitely be done." Guaranteed, think about how many things there are in our space, when the time comes, all the furniture in my room will be piled up on the aisle behind the anti-theft door. The door is broken, and there are so many things behind the door, they can't get in, and we are not without weapons, compared to the knives in their hands, our weapons can shoot from a long distance."

After being told by Qin Huai, Mu Nan felt that it was really bad luck that he was targeted, and it seemed that he was not completely powerless to fight back, so he calmed down a little: "Then what should we do now? Jian Chu and Dr. Xu, Do you want to be reminded?"

Qin Huai said: "I'll take care of these things, let's go home first."

Mu Nan glanced in the direction of the supermarket: "I haven't received the supplies yet."

Qin Huai frowned: "I won't take it anymore, it's just a few bottles of water, I'll go back and take my stomach medicine first, is the pain severe?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "Let's go and get it, anyway, it's just a few bottles of water, just now I suddenly found that the group of people were nervous, and now it doesn't hurt so much."

Mu Nan insisted on picking up the things. Originally, it was once every three days. The two of them added six bottles of water and two big bags of noodles. Don't be too pity. Moreover, he felt that he needed a buffering process. Those people were a little flustered when they met such a small citizen who had never even been in a police station.

When they walked to the supermarket, Jian Chu and the others were already lined up. As soon as he saw Mu Nan and Qin Huai, Jian Chu waved to them: "Come on, this way!"

Qin Huai said, "No need, let's sit in the back row."

Jian Chu stretched out his hand and pulled them in: "It's okay, I told the people behind us that there are still two of us who haven't come, and I took up a seat for you. What did you do just now? Mu Nan, are you okay?"

Mu Nan shook his head, Qin Huai said, "It's nothing, it's just that my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Jian Chu looked at Mu Nan with concern: "Are you okay? It seems that your face is indeed a little pale."

Xu Ming said: "Do you have stomach medicine at home? If not, I have some over there."

Qin Huai smiled: "There are some at home, so go back and eat after you get something."

They arrived soon, but after Qin Huai received the things, he went to the soldiers guarding the supplies behind and said something, the soldiers looked at Qin Huai, as if they were weighing something, Qin Huai smiled and said a few more words , the soldier nodded.

When Qin Huai came over, Mu Nan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Qin Huai put the water and noodles in his hand into his bag, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, we'll talk about it when we go back."

Probably thinking that Mu Nan was not feeling well, so the few people did not walk slowly on the way back, and returned to the community soon. When they got to the bottom of their building, those people were still there, Qin Huai held Mu Nan in his arms, put one hand on the back of his head, didn't let Mu Nan look over there, and took Mu Nan away as if nothing had happened. Enter the building.

After getting out of the elevator, when everyone went home, Qin Huai said to them: "Everyone, close the door tonight."

Qin Huai is not usually someone who cares about whether others can close the door properly. If Xu Ming said this, they might not think it was a big deal, but Qin Huai said that it felt like something was wrong, but Qin Huai didn't say much, After saying this, he took Mu Nan home.

Back home, Qin Huai hurriedly dug out the medicine and watched Mu Nan take it, then said: "I just told the soldiers that there are some unfamiliar people in our community who don't feel right."

Mu Nan said: "Will they believe it?" I feel that they probably won't believe it. Just one sentence, it doesn't feel right, it's too general. If they believe it, then they probably have to deal with countless people's opinions every day. The predicted oolong event.

Qin Huai said: "I told them that I can't guarantee anything else, but those few people must have been stained with blood."

Mu Nan: "How did they know that without asking you? You are too risky, what if they arrest you as an accomplice?"

Qin Huai said with a smile: "I said that I have participated in Fesley's training camp for three consecutive years, so I still have the ability to predict. These things can be verified, so don't worry about them thinking too much."

Mu Nan was full of doubts: "What training camp?"

Qin Huai explained: "It is a semi-military training camp in foreign countries. The instructors inside are from the top international special forces, and there are also special mercenaries hired from outside. There are two training methods. One is official training, which is held every year. Gather talents from the military departments of various countries for exchanges and discussions. One is privately run. The privately run is mainly for some wealthy children. They will train personal abilities such as crisis response and self-help in adversity. After leaving that man, he took me I was thrown into the training camp, where I met Lu Sen, the rich second generation who worked with me, and then went there for two consecutive years, until his test-tube baby was successful, and he no longer cared about me, and then he stopped going .”

Mu Nan couldn't help poking the muscles on Qin Huai's arm: "Your father, who doesn't do anything, did something good. At least he taught you some real skills."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "I did my best in the training at the beginning, okay, let's not talk about him, go take a shower and lie down for a while."

Mu Nan said: "I'll go and block the door first, if it's not blocked tightly, I won't be able to sleep at ease."

The convenience of the space was once again reflected. Mu Nan put away the furniture in Qinhuai's room, and put it behind the anti-theft door. sense of security.

After finishing her work, Mu Nan went to take a shower. There was still a dull pain in her stomach, and she was not very comfortable. Mu Nan lay on her side with her pillow on her back and watched the computer. Qin Huai saw that he was frowning so tightly, and after the heat on his body dissipated, he also went to bed, turned Mu Nan over and rubbed him gently: "You are really a mood sick. "

Probably because he was comfortable being rubbed, but this time Mu Nan didn't feel itchy. Hearing what Qin Huai said, she squinted at him: "Just say I'm cowardly."

Qin Huai smiled: "It's fine to be timid, at least timid will not do reckless things."

Mu Nan snorted, she had just woken up not long ago, but she seemed to be drowsy again.

Seeing that his eyelids became heavy, Qin Huai said softly: "Go to sleep, you will feel comfortable when you fall asleep."

Mu Nan fell asleep, but he didn't sleep soundly. He kept dreaming, dreaming that someone broke into their house, and then Qin Huai hid him under the bed, and put books under the bed to block him out. After a while, a group of people found the room and said they wanted to lift the bed to have a look, which frightened him to death. He was anxiously thinking why his space could not be entered by people, but before the group of people lifted the bed, they Hearing movement outside the window, someone yelled that someone was running away, so hurry up and chase after him, and then a group of people chased out with a whoosh, so they staged a chasing battle with Qin Huai.

Even though it was a post-apocalyptic movie, it instantly turned into a war between cops and bandits. When the group of people blocked Qin Huai in a dead end, and took out a gun from their arms, there was a bang, and Mu Nan jumped out of his dream. woke up.

Qin Huai hugged the startled Mu Nan into his arms, and covered his ears with his hands: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Mu Nan was still in a daze, but then he heard two gunshots and woke up completely. How could this be the same as what he dreamed about? The doomsday movie instantly became a police movie.
