Natural disasters are coming: the space is busy with stockpiling and farming

Chapter 21 Hunting the "Smoker"

Woke up early again, Jiang Sheng was so sleepy that his eyes hurt and he couldn't open his eyes, but he could only get dressed and go to the square in the fourth district.

There are already many people queuing here, and the coughing sound is obviously much quieter than yesterday.

Jiang Sheng came to the window and continued to deliver potion to the bucket. Today was in good order, and the situation was better than yesterday.

Yesterday, the patients in the fourth district did not have any trust in the medicine distributed by the base. They just tried it with the idea of ​​​​trying their luck and drank a glass of water.

But now I clearly feel that my physical condition has improved, so I am naturally grateful to Su Shaolun. For a while, the square was filled with voices of praise.

Zheng Qingyun was sitting in the office listening to the news reported by his subordinates, and naturally knew that Su Shaolun was now popular among the people.

But he had no choice. Once a riot caused by pneumonia broke out in the base, he, the base commander, would surely be pushed off his throne by the rioters.

Therefore, the medicine provided by Su Shaolun could indeed give him a chance to breathe.

But now that Su Shaolun has won the hearts of the people and still has the crystal core to take, Zheng Qingyun always feels unhappy in his heart.

When the base was first established, Su Shaolun brought a lot of supplies and weapons, which brought new vitality to the weak base, so he could only delegate power to Su Shaolun.

He was originally afraid that the people in charge of each region would be more powerful than him, and now this feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger.

The trading area is the place with the most money and water. Although Su Shaolun is considered upright and honest, he still made a lot of crystal cores in the trading area.

If this continues, once he wants to seize power, he will never be able to fight back.

Zheng Qingyun had a headache. He had to find a way to kill Su Shaolun's vigor, but how to do it.

There was a sudden knock on the office door, and it was the person in charge of the residential area—Chen Changce.

"Hey, why is the base commander looking so sad?"

Sun Changce smiled playfully and knew his advisor well.

He was not polite and sat down on the sofa, putting his muddy boots on the coffee table. Zheng Qingyun scolded him irritably, but Sun Changce didn't show any restraint.

"I heard that you made a deal with Su Shaolun. As long as the patients in the fourth district are cured, you will give them 10,000 crystal nuclei? You really spent a lot of money."

Zheng Qingyun took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it with a frown and said: "I don't want to fucking think about it. If the people in the fourth district lose their minds, then I won't have to take the position of base commander!"

Chen Changce shook his legs carelessly: "Then why don't you just prevent him from getting the medicine? In this way, he will lose the support of the people and you don't have to give him the crystal core. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Zheng Qingyun raised his eyes and looked at Chen Changce, who was confused: "Do you have any idea?"

"I see that there is usually a little girl distributing potions. She seems to be a space power user. Just find someone to kill her."

"What's the use of ending her? Don't all the medicines belong to Su Shaolun?"

"You are short-sighted. Su Shaolun has been busy clearing snow outside the base recently. He didn't even return to the base last night. Do you know what this means?"

"What? Can you please stop being secretive when speaking? People like you are the most annoying."

"This means that the medicine is not in Su Shaolun's hands, but all in the hands of the little girl who poured the medicine."

Sun Changce continued to persuade: "As long as you get rid of her and Su Shaolun can't get the medicine, I don't need to say what will happen to him, right?"

Zheng Qingyun hesitated: "What if this woman refuses to give us the medicine even to death?"

Sun Changce hated iron for not being made into steel: "Are you stupid? Those maggots in the fourth district have been cured, so what's their fate? Even if the condition worsens, they will only blame Su Shaolun. By then, he will have a thousand

I can’t even speak clearly!”

Zheng Qingyun exhaled his turbid air: "Okay, let's do this. If it succeeds, you can make money from the trading area as you like."

——

Jiang Sheng was tired for a day and walked home like a zombie.

There was no one on the street anymore, so she went to the training area and practiced shooting for a while before rushing home.

Now, although her marksmanship is not perfect, it can still be regarded as superb.

Humming a little tune, Jiang Sheng was in a good mood, but she suddenly smelled something.

The very strong smell of tobacco is probably emitted by people who smoke even if they don't eat after the end of the world.

If you can still afford to smoke in the last days, you must have extraordinary abilities, either an evolver or a person with super powers.

The snow was falling heavily, and there was no sound at all when his feet stepped on the snow. Jiang Sheng could not capture the position of the person behind him.

Jiang Sheng suddenly felt vigilant in his heart. Although the snow was soft, it was not like a sound would not come out, unless the person was deliberately hiding his presence.

This is the third district. Jiang Sheng ducked into a small alley. Snowflakes fell on her shoulders, giving off a slight chill.

Although the strong smell of tobacco seemed to be absent, it penetrated into Jiang Sheng's nasal cavity and was difficult to ignore.

He turned around suddenly, and sure enough, there was a man about five meters behind Jiang Sheng.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng was no longer moving, he walked forward step by step.

"I've always thought of choosing a place where no one can find me to kill you. Now it seems that you have made your own choice, so let's do it here."

Jiang Sheng looked at the face with big yellow teeth in front of him and felt a little nauseous.

"How long has it been since your cesspool was dug out?"

The man was a little confused and didn't understand what Jiang Sheng was talking about, but he came back to his senses immediately.

"You don't have to think about delaying time. Your life will definitely be in my hands today. Just accept your fate."

Jiang Sheng picked his ears: "Even if college can't wash away your disgusting self-confidence, can't you throw away your excessive self-confidence? You won't be afraid of being suppressed and unable to grow."

The man still wanted to speak, but a red dot appeared in the center of his eyebrows. He instantly fell into the snow, his blood staining the large snowflakes red.

Jiang Sheng put on his gloves and groped in the man's pocket, and muttered in a low voice: "The villain dies because he talks too much. You can't even understand what I say to you. Don't take the job of killing people."

There was a secondary crystal core in his pocket, and Jiang Sheng was a little surprised.

"Isn't this the core that bought my life? I'm quite valuable."

Jiang Sheng searched again and found the man's ID card.

The ID card before the apocalypse is naturally completely different from the ID card after the apocalypse. The ID card after the apocalypse only has the name, the base where the superpower is located, the age, etc. written on it.

After all, it is difficult to count the population in the last days, so issuing this certificate is just to make life at the base more convenient.

Jiang Sheng looked at the name on the ID card and planned to ask Su Shaolun.

I haven't done anything in the base that could easily lead to being targeted. If I really dig deeper, it must be the recent drug problem.

So the real target of sending this man here was not Jiang Sheng, but Su Shaolun.

Jiang Sheng did not go home, but walked towards the Su family. After all, this man did not go back to find his patron to revive her. If the patron realized something was wrong and sent more people to kill her, she would have no choice but to avoid it.

.

There was a knock on the Su family's door. It was just past eight o'clock and they were having dinner.

Su Cheng came to open the door and found that the person who came was actually Jiang Sheng, and was a little confused.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Sheng sighed: "I was almost killed just now, so I came to your house to avoid the limelight."

"ah?"

Su Cheng was startled and hurriedly asked Jiang Sheng to come in and lock all the doors and windows in the house.

Arriving in front of Su Shaolun, Jiang Sheng gave the killer's ID card to Su Shaolun. He frowned and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng was fine, Su Chen felt relieved. He moved his eyes to the photo on his ID card, and a wave of anger swept through his body.

"Zheng Qingyun! How dare he!"

Su Chen slapped the table angrily, and the table shook twice. Su Cheng touched the loose table legs distressedly.

"The man who came to kill you is the captain of the third detachment of Zheng Qingyun's superpower team. We usually call him Smoker. He is a fire superpower."

Su Shaolun opened his mouth, but the force on his hand became heavier and heavier, and the ID card was even slightly deformed.

"This Zheng Qingyun doesn't dare to fight me openly, but is playing dirty tricks on me secretly!"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "They probably just want to kill me, so that no one can supply the medicines in the fourth district, and the finger of blame will definitely be directed at you, uncle."

Su Shaolun sighed apologetically at Jiang Sheng: "I'm sorry, you were almost killed because of my poor thinking. I thought Zheng Qingyun didn't have the guts, but..."

Jiang Sheng didn't care. After all, the source of this disaster was himself and had nothing to do with Su Shaolun.

She waved her hand: "You don't need to worry about uncle. The main reason I came to your house is to find out who wants to harm me. Also, I want to stay at your house for one night today because the smoker didn't succeed. I'm afraid that Zheng Qingyun will send someone to my house.

Find me."

Mo Siyuan held her hand worriedly: "What are you talking about? I regard you as my biological daughter. Do you know how worried I am? From now on, you will stay at my house and let Su Cheng know tomorrow."

I will accompany you to move your things, and this will be your home from now on!"

Jiang Sheng was a little tangled. In her mind, her relationship with the Su family was just a matter of each other taking what they got and trading with each other. She would only feel uncomfortable living in such an unfamiliar family.

But if she moves out by herself, even if she uses her powers, she won't be able to confront the increasing number of pursuers head-on.

Su Chen naturally saw her embarrassment: "Don't feel any psychological burden if you live here. The third floor is unused. From now on, the entire floor will be your exclusive area. We will not go upstairs to disturb you."

Jiang Sheng pursed his lips. Su Chen had already made a huge concession. If she refused, it would be too pretentious.

"Okay, then I won't bother you at your house from now on."

Mo Siyuan took Jiang Sheng to the top floor, which was the third floor.

"We have just enough rooms on the second floor. If you live on the third floor, just arrange all the rooms by yourself. Don't feel any pressure. We won't come up to disturb you.

Auntie likes you very much and feels that she is very close to you. Su Chen and Su Cheng also like you very much. Your uncle doesn't say it, but he also likes you very much. From now on, we are a family, so there is no need to be polite to us. "

Jiang Sheng was moved and held Mo Siyuan's hand. The warm touch made her not want to leave.

Mo Siyuan stayed with Jiang Sheng for a while, then went downstairs to rest. Jiang Sheng stood in the empty room, but felt that there was warmth all around him.
