Chapter 306: Frozen Corpses on the Road

Building 19, 2nd floor.

Mr. Wang looked at the supplies on the floor. The huge room was only illuminated by the weak light of the flashlight.

There was silence all around, no sound, and an endless sense of loneliness came over him.

Closing the door, Mr. Wang dusted off the sofa, tidied it up briefly, and then laid out the bedding he brought with him. He lay down in his clothes without taking off his clothes.

The flashlight was turned off, and the whole room darkened instantly.

"Finally. Alas." Mr. Wang opened his eyes, his eyes flickering in the dark.

Thinking that he had fallen into such a situation, it was all caused by the gang in Xincheng. This escape had exhausted him mentally and physically.

Now he had fallen into living in such a place, and that gang was the culprit.

After a while, in the quiet environment, he finally couldn't help but fall asleep after being on edge all the time.

Outside the safe city, in a dilapidated house, the toothless man had escaped luckily, covered his injured arm, and returned to the door of his temporary residence.

Because of being shot, his right arm was limp like noodles.

It was already dark, and the toothless man loosened his left hand that was covering his arm, adjusted his mood, knocked on the door, and said something.

Zhiya~

The door of the room was opened, and a little girl less than ten years old rushed over: "Dad, why are you back now?"

The toothless man smiled dotingly, touched the little girl's hair, and said: "Tuantuan, Dad is going to find food."

Enduring the pain in his arm, he touched the soda biscuits in his pocket with his left hand, a total of four pieces.

After thinking about it, he handed one to the little girl. The little girl smelled the fragrance of the biscuit and hurriedly took it. Just as she took a bite, she suddenly raised her head and said: "You eat first."

The toothless man smiled and said: "I have more here."

He took out another biscuit, thought about it, folded it in half, and put half back into the bag.

The little girl took a bite of the biscuit gently. The food was hard to come by, so she cherished it very much. She took a small bite of the small biscuit and held it in her mouth, letting the biscuit slowly expand under the softening of saliva. After a while, she swallowed it.

She ate the biscuit bit by bit, and in the end, the little girl still left a small half.

She was not full yet. Such a small piece of biscuit would definitely not fill her up. At most, it would fill her teeth. But she was still afraid that she would run out of food again, so she would save it until the last moment.

Seeing this scene, the toothless man felt as if his heart was cut by a knife: "Eat it all. I have some here. If you eat it, I will give you another piece."

Hearing her father say this, the little girl struggled a little.

"Oh." The seven or eight-year-old girl finally restrained her desire to eat, and finally couldn't help eating the last bit of biscuit.

In the dark night, the toothless man endured the pain and tore two strips of cloth to tie up his injured arm. Now it was dark and there was no light source, so he couldn't treat the wound. He could only wait until tomorrow.

In the current situation, he didn't know how to treat the wound. Hopefully, he could survive.

He tightened the worn cotton wool and covered his daughter tightly with the quilt. The toothless man thought about what his daughter would do if he was gone.

This is the end of the world. The toothless man cursed in his heart.

The next day.

Mr. Wang woke up from his sleep. The sunlight sprinkled on the floor and refracted onto his face. He sat on the sofa blankly.

He was a little confused, but at least he had a good sleep.

This was the best sleep he had had in these days.

He was on the second floor, and through the window, he saw that there were few pedestrians outside.

Yesterday he only took a quick look. He was in District C, and there seemed to be several more districts behind him.

I could go and have a look, Mr. Wang thought, and went downstairs to walk around.

As soon as I got down to the first floor, I saw a skinny man coming out of the door. There were some scars on his face. When he saw Mr. Wang, he had no expression on his face.

Mr. Wang walked out of Building 19 without saying anything.

It is now officially December. Mr. Wang looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

It was a bit cold.

After walking a distance, I saw a row of villa areas. This might be the bright place I saw yesterday.

A wall separates these villa areas from the buildings next to them, giving a sense of strict hierarchy.

Mr. Wang laughed at himself and walked deeper into the back. He hadn't seen the situation behind yesterday.

The cold wind blew straight into people's necks, taking away the body's heat.

When I reached Area D, I didn't see anything different. I walked downstairs and saw pink peach blossoms written on the wall.

Mr. Wang didn't look closely and left immediately. He was not very interested in these things.

There were really few people on the road. In such cold weather, basically no one came out. Mr. Wang walked around outside and felt that it was boring.

This safe city is not much different from ordinary communities. The biggest difference is that it has a taller and more stable wall than ordinary communities, and it is slightly more luxurious.

In the community, there are several rivers surrounding it, which are now frozen.

Just as I was about to return to Building 19, I saw a body on the side of the road. The body looked like a mummy and was extremely thin.

Next to them were some people who looked like patrolmen, who were dealing with the body.

"Another starved to death?"

"Well. You didn't go out to search for supplies earlier, but waited until you were completely exhausted before going out. Damn it."

"It's so cold, I guess he wanted to go out early in the morning, and then he fell."

"The first one this month."

"Well, it's okay, there are always new people coming."

Listening to the chat of the patrolmen, Mr. Wang eavesdropped for a while. The patrolmen didn't guard against him, and seemed to not care whether Mr. Wang would hear it.

After all, what they have to do is to ensure their safety and prevent them from fighting and robbing in the safe city.

As for whether they will starve to death without food, it is not within their scope of responsibility.

Mr. Wang returned to Building 19, looking at the bright room and the piles of supplies on the ground, his eyes flickered.

These supplies can survive for a while, but if these supplies are consumed, even if there are some stored outside, it is not a long-term solution.

People like him who have been bosses and people who have been the head of a base have always been thinking about how to take advantage of the situation, how to reach a certain position, and then let others do things.

According to the toothless man, there are a total of four forces in the safe city, and they are somewhat conflicting with each other.

Perhaps, this is his chance.

As for the people from Xincheng, Mr. Wang's eyes flashed with resentment.

They have fallen to the point where they are like dogs that have lost their homes.

Those people from Xincheng will have to pay back their anger sooner or later.
