I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 26: Trouble Entering the Base

I quickly squatted down and opened the piggy bank to take out RMB. I estimated that there was about 200,000 yuan! "Wow!" We were finally rich, and we were very excited.

But that was not all. Feicui then forcibly pulled out a piggy bank from the cabinet. There was nearly 100,000 RMB in it! Feicui looked at it for a while and stood up and shook his head to indicate that there was no more money box in the machine.

But this was not a small amount. I dug out a bank bag to put the money in. I found that one bag was not enough, so we searched around and finally found a large cloth bag. We barely stuffed the three hundred thousand in it. The jade was tied with a knot. Lin Lin and I said that whoever saw it would get a share, and we would go back and divide the loot later.

Feicui, who was standing next to her, hung the purse on herself and said arrogantly that all the money was hers!

Lin Lin and I didn't argue with him. As a girl, she could take it if she wanted.

As the sun was setting, the suburbs were very quiet. We didn't know whether the open areas were safe after the earthquake, so we had to go back quickly. I drove for a while and finally returned to the main road. There were also scrapped cars pushed to the sides of the main road, but we didn't want to go down and continue searching. I vaguely remembered the previous road, and it was a bumpy journey. I finally got back to the gate of the base before dark.

When we arrived at the gate of the base, we saw military tents stationed inside and outside the factory. There were also people conducting checks at the factory gate, but the people conducting the checks were not soldiers from the army but a team of more than 20 people working in two shifts organized by the factory's security department. They did not have much power, and were only given the power to interrogate ordinary disaster victims like us.

A man in his thirties was standing at the front, probably the leader. He was accompanied by several guards in security uniforms who stopped our car.

Lin Lin said that he knew the team leader of the security department, his name was Wang Hai, and that this person was not a good person and was a bit of a bully. We should not argue with him and try to accept the investigation.

This kind of investigation must be accepted unconditionally, because it is understandable to have stricter control during this period. I stopped the car, and Lin Lin got out of the car and took the initiative to greet Wang Hai and try to establish a relationship with him. However, the serious and unsmiling attitude of Wang Hai opposite me made me feel uneasy. Would he deliberately make things difficult for us?

As expected, what you worry about will come true. Wang Hai found a pile of watermelons in our car and asked us where we got them.

Lin Lin was quite worldly-wise, and she quickly came forward, handed over a cigarette, and said that these were the watermelons we had exchanged for at the vegetable base, and that we were going to bring them back to trade for some food.

Wang Hai seriously pushed away the cigarette handed to him by Lin Lin and said righteously: Private operation is not allowed in the base now. What you are doing is speculation. The circulation of so many watermelons in the base will affect the price and even affect the food and clothing of ordinary disaster victims.

I just wonder how those few watermelons can affect the food and clothing issues of the victims?

When Wang Hai heard my doubts, he looked at me with disdain and asked me, "Which disaster area are you from? You have no sense of the overall situation. Some disaster victims can't even get enough food, but you are thinking about starting to make these fruits that can't fill their stomachs. What if others follow your example and go out to make these messy things, who will be willing to work in the base? Have you considered that some disaster victims can't even get enough food? Will it make the disaster victims feel that our base treats them unfairly? Isn't this making trouble? All these watermelons will be confiscated!"

After saying that, he asked several security guards around him to move our watermelons away in a rude manner.

Feicui was the first one to quit. With her hot temper, how could she tolerate others snatching our things? She jumped out of the car excitedly and yelled at Wang Hai: "Fuck you, you just want to take our watermelon, right? If you have the guts, stand there!" Wang Hai was stunned by the scolding, and indeed stood there without moving. While speaking, Feicui kicked Wang Hai and immediately kicked him to the ground two meters away!

I saw that it was bad, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Feicui, while persuading her: "Feicui, don't do it, if you do, we will be the wrong party!"

Before I could stop Feicui, the other security guards rushed over one by one after seeing Wang Hai being beaten. I was hit by an electric baton and fell to the ground. I could only hear Feicui cursing: "I will fight you!"

With just three punches and two kicks, five security guards were knocked to the ground.

In the end, it was the People's Liberation Army stationed nearby who fired shots to stop the farce!

The price we paid was that the three of us were locked up together in a small detention room in the security room.

I groaned, covered the painful part of my body from the electric shock, and asked Feicui: "Why don't you fight anymore? Aren't you powerful?"

Jade spat, "Don't they have guns? Or am I afraid of them?"

"Yes, you might!" I sneered unhappily.

Lin Lin sighed deeply and said: We should have given him a portion of the watermelon from the beginning. Wang Hai has done many things like taking advantage of others. We were just too stingy.

Feicui suddenly said in shock: "It's over, my money is still in the car, will it be confiscated too?"

I sighed and thought it through, and advised: We picked up the money anyway, so if it doesn't belong to us, just let it go.

Jade replied to me angrily: Why should I give away the money I worked so hard to earn?

Lin Lin looked at the brother and sister and suddenly smiled inexplicably, with a meaningful look in her eyes.

After waiting for an hour, several leaders finally arrived. The leader was said to be the head of the factory security department, a thin man in his forties. He looked at us coldly with sharp eyes. His eyes fell on Feicui and asked, "Are you the one who injured Captain Wang and our security personnel?"

I was shocked. Looking at the tone and attitude, are you going to lock Feicui up? I quickly stopped Feicui and explained that I was her brother. She looked like a boy but was actually a 19-year-old girl. I admit my fault this time and I am willing to bear the consequences. Let my sister go back and lock me up.

The head of the security department suddenly relaxed his eyes and smiled at the people around him. I couldn't understand what that smile was, it seemed like he was laughing at me.

Suddenly, a shorter man next to him joked with us, "Lock you up? How can we lock you up at this time? Who is there to take care of you? We just learned about what happened. It's not unreasonable for Captain Wang to stop you and confiscate your watermelons."

I cursed in my heart that all crows are black!

He went on to explain the outcome: "But if you have any dissatisfaction or demands, you should report them to your superiors instead of engaging in violent protests. Do you understand what I mean?"

I was about to retort him when Lin Lin stepped forward and pleaded with the men: "How about this? We don't want our watermelons anymore. We don't accept the punishment for hitting someone. You can decide how much fine you want."

When these people saw Lin Lin's attitude, they looked at each other and relaxed. In fact, the incident just now alarmed the troops, and the department-level leaders sent by the city to assist in the management of the base came to ask what happened. They are now afraid of two ends. They are afraid that we will complain that their security department is too harsh on the victims, which will lead to escalation of conflicts and unnecessary criticism. They are also afraid that if trade is liberalized in the future, it will be difficult for their security team to plan and manage, because they know that sooner or later the base will be allowed to allow merchants to trade freely. The Zheng government cannot interfere in all matters, and their direct confiscation of the merchants' property today will indeed cause unnecessary disagreements.

Since we agreed not to make a fuss, there was no need to make a big deal out of it. A few leaders discussed and decided to fine us 10,000 yuan. If we could afford it, we would pay it. If we couldn't, we would go back and pay it back when we had the money.

I happened to have more than 20,000 yuan in my pocket for purchasing goods, so I took out 10,000 yuan to pay the fine and promised those people that we would not make such a mistake again before they let us go. Seeing that the van was still waiting for us at the door of the security room, we hurried to see if there was any other goods. Sure enough, the remaining two boxes of bread were gone, and only the pile of school uniforms had not been taken away.

I turned around angrily and asked one of the leaders, "Where are the two boxes of bread in my car? They are not watermelons, so why should they be confiscated?"

After the short leader whispered a few words with the security department leader, he frowned and called over the other security guards who were not beaten, and shouted angrily: "Haven't you seen anything? Return the bread!" Maybe he really didn't understand the situation.

I was speechless when I saw those security guards reluctantly returning two boxes of bread that had been split into less than half a box. How could there be such bad guys who want to take advantage of others just for a little power when a natural disaster strikes?

Feicui was about to shout that the money she left in the car was missing, but Lin Lin stopped her and told her not to say anything and said that he had put it away.
