Chapter 35 Enter
Fortunately, Qiu Jing had been improving her physical skills over the years and managed to withstand the dangerous situation.
While chasing her own mutant, she ran around several sharp turns, using the pillars as cover. After confusing the mutant, she took the opportunity, under Peng Si's cover, to return to the courier room.
Peng Si slammed the door shut, Deng Zhize pushed the shelf over with one hand, and then the three of them worked together to hold it in place.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The mutated man slammed his fist against the door, causing dust to fall from the walls, the lock to rattle and sway precariously, and even the lights to flicker.
Miao Yin walked up behind the still-shaken residents, bent down, and whispered, "Aren't you going to help? The monster is about to get in."
The group then realized what was happening and rushed over to help block the door.
They took out some of the heavy objects that had been disassembled and placed inside, put them on the support to increase the weight, and then pushed the iron bar by hand.
The shrill screams of the mutants continued to come from outside the door. The crowd desperately rammed against the shelves. After an unknown amount of time, the noise finally stopped; they stopped banging on the door.
Peng Si listened intently for a while, and only after confirming that there was no movement nearby did he wave his hand.
Everyone then sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, covered in sweat.
Qiu Jing's hands trembled, and blood flowed from her arms down to her fingertips.
Despite using all her skills, she still suffered several cuts on her back and arms from the mutant's claws in that situation. Fortunately, none of them were fatal, but the pain in her arms might make her less accurate when shooting later.
Deng Zhize took out the medical kit he had used before and, together with Peng Si, disinfected and bandaged her horrifying wound.
In order to keep track of what was happening outside, they always stood near the gate.
The people rescued this time were probably two families: a couple with their two children and an elderly person.
Ironically, the person who just dragged that mother and daughter to their deaths was the head of their household.
The fat, big-eared man showed no remorse, only the relief of surviving a disaster.
The other couple was also married. The woman was heavily pregnant, looking about seven or eight months along. She was very thin and bony. The fright and running around had made her look very uncomfortable, and her face was covered in cold sweat. Her husband worriedly helped her sit down against the wall.
Qiu Jing's parents were both medics and had a lot of experience in this area. After she finished bandaging the pregnant woman, she immediately went over to check on her condition.
The pregnant woman's physical condition is a bit poor, but there are no signs of miscarriage at present. It may just be due to the running she just did. She needs to rest well.
Peng Si lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you all run out? It's very dangerous outside right now."
One of the men replied, "Sir, we really can't take it anymore. We've run out of food at home, and the kids are crying for food every day! We have to come out and try our luck to survive!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the packages in the parcel room that had been completely opened.
Do you have any food here? Please give us some!
“We want some too!” another couple exclaimed.
Peng Si frowned. Instead of telling them directly where the food was in the delivery room, he looked at Miao Yin and gave them the choice first.
If they are unwilling, he will try to talk to them again to see if there is any room for negotiation.
After all, these residents looked like they had been hungry for a long time, and if they weren't given some food, it was easy for them to cause trouble.
Miao Yin received his signal but didn't make things difficult for him. She wasn't stupid; why not do a favor for a soldier?
She took out some biscuits, bread, and water from her backpack and asked Yan Shuzhou to distribute them.
"Thank you, thank you, that's great." The residents took the food, immediately opened it, and started eating, even stuffing it into their children's mouths.
Peng Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Deng Zhize and Qiu Jing also gave them grateful looks.
There wasn't much food, but the group wolfed it down in no time.
Miao Yin noticed that in the family with children and the elderly, the elderly woman gave most of the food to her son and grandson, while giving her daughter-in-law and granddaughter a cold look.
"My dear grandson, eat more. Grandma's here is all for you." She lovingly stuffed the biscuits into her grandson's hands and gave him water to prevent him from choking.
The eight-year-old grandson looked chubby with fair and rosy skin. He was eating a salty and crispy biscuit with a satisfied expression, while his older sister ate very little and watched longingly.
Qiu Jing reminded her, "Auntie, your little granddaughter is still hungry too."
The old woman waved her hand: "It's alright, it's no big deal if she goes hungry for a while. My dear grandson needs to eat more so he can grow up strong and healthy."
The woman looked at her silently, said nothing, and quietly stuffed a bite of her own food into her thin daughter's mouth. When she raised her hand, the scars on her arm could still be faintly seen.
Her husband ate his food silently, clearly not wanting to participate.
The family with the pregnant woman was much more harmonious; the man fed his wife all the food first before eating himself.
"Hey, young ladies over there, do you still have any food? Give some more to my grandson, this little isn't enough!" the old woman called out to Miao Yin.
Before Miao Yin could speak, Peng Si said first, "Auntie, this food was found with great effort by the people involved. You can just share some with them, as they also need to eat."
The old woman said plaintively, "What are you saying? The two young people are strong and healthy. What's wrong with them eating a little less? My grandson is still so young. What if he goes hungry?"
“No, there’s no food left in the delivery room. If you take all their things, what will happen to the others if we can’t get help? Will they starve too?” Peng Si’s attitude hardened.
When the old woman saw the soldier getting fierce, she dared not speak out and could only hold her little grandson with heartache.
The man from the pregnant woman's family asked, "Sir, when will you be able to send reinforcements? My wife is so heavily pregnant, what if something happens to her? There are also many people in the building, they'll all starve to death if you don't come soon."
Qiu Jing reassured everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. The request for help has already been sent out. The government won't abandon you."
"You make it sound so easy. Last time you only managed to save a few people before you were chased away in disgrace," the old woman's husband said sarcastically.
Peng Si's eyes turned cold: "If you hadn't lied about the abnormal situation in the community in the owners' group, we wouldn't have had to sacrifice so many comrades!"
The husband's face paled, then he raised his voice again, "We're all hiding in our own home, how could we possibly know what's going on outside! Shouldn't you make proper arrangements, send more people, and bring more weapons?"
“We did anticipate that the situation here wouldn’t be as good as you described, so we brought extra weapons just in case, otherwise we would have been wiped out!” Peng Si retorted without holding back.
The husband then awkwardly shut his mouth.
The man on the other side scratched his head in frustration: "If only that security guard hadn't closed the gate back then, these mutants wouldn't have just stayed in the community, and we wouldn't be trapped like this."
That's right, the gate of Dongai Community was deliberately locked by the security guards. This action not only trapped a large number of deformed people inside, but also almost put the residents to death.
They had been extremely careful, risking their lives to get here, but they were still captured by the mutants. If Peng Si and the others hadn't just saved them, they probably would have perished.
