Chapter 44 - 44

Chapter 44 Unilateral MassacreLooking at the huge site piled with coal, at least a hundred tons, we'll take the high-priced coal first, and then the medium-priced coal.Finally, choose a lower-priced item so that it can be easily distinguished within the space.I found the coal-pushing carts to be quite nice, so I bought a few and put them in my storage space.The sun was shining brightly and there was a slight warmth. After returning to the assault boat, Su Xiaoyu first sat down to rest.Then they drove away in the speedboat, not returning the same way, but turning onto another side road when they reached the main road.She remembered that the national cold storage facility seemed to be in that direction. When she went to the village slaughterhouse to collect meat, she happened to run into people from the government collecting meat.If it weren't for the advance order, we wouldn't have received so much fresh meat that day; it was all taken away by the government.On the way back, I saw their car drive into a rather secluded courtyard.It was through the slaughterhouse owner that he learned the national cold storage facility had its own power generation system, which could still provide cooling even in the event of a power outage.Every so often they would collect a batch of fresh meat and put it into cold storage, and then release the frozen meat from the stockpile into the market, ostensibly to balance the market.To put it simply, it's about not putting all your eggs in one basket.After the extreme heat and torrential rain, I wondered what had become of the things in the freezer, so I decided to go and take a look.After driving for another half hour, they still hadn't reached their destination. The speedboat ran out of fuel, so they stopped on the side of the road and refueled.Overall, it's more convenient to travel alone; you can go wherever you want.A rumbling sound came from behind. Looking back, she saw several teams of speedboats passing by her at high speed.One of the red-haired boys wearing sunglasses even whistled at him, looking quite smug.He's just a little kid.Su Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously, but after the speedboat had been running for just over a minute, she immediately noticed something was wrong; it was clearly leaking air.Looking back, I saw a cut on the back, about two centimeters in size.The air was leaking out from here, so I quickly took out some tape to fix it and stuck it on. After that, the air stopped leaking.However, the inflatable boat had leaked a small amount of air, making it less stable while moving.So they had to stop on the side, pump some more air into the boat, and once they were sure it was safe, they got back on the speedboat and set their sights on the direction that the group of people had gone.As luck would have it, it was in the direction of the cold storage, and she could vaguely see them at the very front. Originally, she was in the position of not attacking unless attacked, but since they made the first move, she wouldn't be polite.They stopped at the entrance of the cold storage, where a large group of people, probably thirty or forty, had gathered.It was almost entirely men; at least, she didn't see any women.When I was about 10 meters away, I heard the old man calling for help."Please, please stop hitting me! I really didn't take much!""If you didn't take much, that's fine. We caught you red-handed today, and you still say you didn't take much? I think you old man just want to die!" the red-haired youth shouted, raising his leg to kick the old man a few more times.Hearing a familiar voice.Su Xiaoyu was certain that the old man was the vegetable seller, but he looked much older than when she last saw him, and his hair had turned white.To avoid being recognized, he put on a mask and then put on a hat to cover his hair.It's always best to do bad things anonymously, just as the red-haired youth was about to strike.I felt something scratch my neck, and then a spurt of blood gushed out.Unable to speak, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.This situation startled the more than 20 people. Upon closer inspection, they saw that the person in front of them was very thin, wearing a mask and a black hat.However, they recognized the speedboat; they had glanced at it as it passed by earlier, but couldn't remember what the person looked like. Now that the person was wearing a mask, they couldn't see anything clearly.Her eyes are very beautiful, so she must be quite young.The red-haired youth breathed his last, and a lot of blood flowed around him, all of it hot and steaming.This serves as a reminder that someone was alive and well just a moment ago, but is now dead."Brother, what gang are you from? We're from the Eastern Province base. You're the first one to walk into our trap and die!" The man pulled out a folding knife from his pocket, surprised that someone would dare to make a move among so many people.If I had known this would happen, I would have asked the Base Commander for a gun, and this wouldn't have happened. After all, it was one of my own men who died, and he was usually a very capable person.This effectively reduced the team's strength, and as the leader, he had no choice but to take action in order to demonstrate his abilities.Su Xiaoyu didn't waste any words with them. Just as they rushed over, the knife in her hand slipped and stabbed two more people.The blood fell into the water, creating a vibrant red stain that looked exceptionally striking.The old man was so frightened he didn't dare move. Had he encountered an assassin, or had he only seen such a person in a TV drama?Killing someone is like killing a chicken; the action is quick, accurate, and ruthless, without any hesitation.In the blink of an eye, seven or eight people were killed. Some died instantly, while others were still panting in the water, and all of them were covered in blood.The water had turned completely red. It was terrifying, horrifying. Was this person even human? Was this a normal person?Just as he was lost in thought, there was a thud, and a person lay down next to him. It was the leader of this group, and his words were still vivid in his mind and echoing in his ears.The man died.The man's eyes were wide open, as if he had died with his eyes still open.Then several more gunshots were heard. The masked boy pulled out a gun and fired at the remaining people, who all fell to the ground.The 20-plus men who had been so fierce just moments before were all killed, and the old man felt that he was about to die as well.The moment he closed his eyes."Do you know how to get into the cold storage?" A clear voice came into my ears.He saw a boy dressed in a black windproof suit standing in front of him, with neither a gun nor a knife in his hand.Wearing a mask, her face wasn't clearly visible, but her eyes looked very bright and expressive."I know how to get in, please don't kill me!" the old man pleaded desperately. "I don't want to take advantage of the country. I have two children at home who need to survive. My son used to work in the cold storage."I've been here a few times before, so I know how to get in and open the main gate. Now, a small portion of the meat inside has spoiled."If it weren't for the recent cold weather, they probably would have spoiled by now. I was thinking of taking a few bags back to trade with others for some food so I could survive."Su Xiaoyu saw a rubber boat not far away with a paddle on it, probably for an old man.
