Chapter 105 I was robbed

"Aunt Wang, you're right. I heard that there are many young girls these days who, relying on their good looks, go around flirting. Just by doing that, they earn more than we do from working every day! They have no worries about food and clothing without much effort. It's really enviable to think about."

"What's there to envy them for? We have our own hands and feet, and we wouldn't do such despicable things. Come on, let's go to my place and talk."

Standing behind the door, Liu Ruyan listened to the two people talking as they gradually walked away. She sneered and turned to walk back into the house.

The two of them were clearly insinuating that she was being supported by Zhang Yuan because of her looks and might be abandoned by him in the future. And once abandoned, without the ability to support herself, she would have to resort to using her looks.

The most ridiculous thing in the world is to judge others by oneself.

Just because they see someone good - looking who doesn't go out to work, they assume that person is being supported and is a weakling.

Little do they know that the so - called weakling in their eyes is actually a man - eater.

If they dared to get too close and annoyed her, she would gobble them up in one bite.

However, after being turned away, the neighbors didn't come to bother Liu Ruyan again.

Liu Ruyan was quite satisfied with this.

As long as they didn't come to bother her, she didn't care whether these people got along well or schemed against each other.

Not long after the flowers of the peanuts Liu Ruyan planted had withered, Zhang Yuan told her that the grains in the plantation would be ready for harvest in another month.

Liu Ruyan calculated the time. Her peanuts would probably need another two months to be harvested.

Calculating like this, the growth cycle of the crops in the plantation had been shortened by one month.

It had to be said that this was a happy piece of news.

With the upcoming grain harvest, the whole base was filled with joy.

Although Liu Ruyan didn't go out, she could tell from the neighbors' loud conversations how much they were looking forward to the grain.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the grain harvest arrived.

Everyone in the base was eagerly waiting for the people who had gone to the plantation to come back.

Those with family members working in the plantation were looking forward to the grain they were about to receive.

Those who had saved a lot of contribution points went to wait in line outside the supermarket early, constantly swiping their phones, waiting to rush to buy as soon as the grain was put on the shelves.

However, people waited from dawn until dusk, and as the streetlights around them grew brighter, they still didn't see the people from the plantation come back.

Liu Ruyan prepared the meal as usual, waiting for Zhang Yuan to come back so they could eat. But when she saw Zhang Yuan's serious expression, she knew something must have happened.

"What's wrong? Is the construction of the underground city not going well?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head. "Something happened at the plantation. They should have been back in the afternoon, but there was no news. Later, we finally got news and learned that the plantation had been robbed."

"Robbed?!"

Even Liu Ruyan was greatly shocked upon hearing this news.

That was the base's plantation, guarded by the base's people with guns. How could it be robbed?

"It should have been premeditated. They waited for the grain to be harvested and then came to rob.

Those are survivors from the city. The ones we saw before were just a small part. There are still many survivors in such a big city.

However, there should also be some who migrated from other places. But for some reason, they didn't enter the base. Instead, they mixed with the city survivors and finally robbed the plantation."

Not only Zhang Yuan couldn't understand, but Liu Ruyan was also very confused.

Since they had the means to come near the base after the extreme cold ended, why didn't they enter the base to live?

Now, survivors don't need to pay grains to enter the base. As long as they get a new ID card, they can live in the base.

Those with the ability can rent houses by themselves, and those without can live in the dormitory.

Overall, there is no problem with survival.

Could it be that all of them are unwilling to be restrained, don't want to live a stable life, and have gotten used to the law of the jungle?

Liu Ruyan couldn't understand the thoughts of these people because in her previous life, both she and the people around her wanted to go to the big base and dreamt of living a stable life.

The days of displacement, living without a fixed place, robbing each other, and not even being able to sleep peacefully were the last days she wanted to live again.

Shaking her head to clear the messy thoughts in her mind, Liu Ruyan then continued to ask Zhang Yuan, "Has the matter been resolved?"

"Captain Kong and the others have already led people there. However, due to the thick fog, the robbed grains are surely gone."

Those people living in the city ruins must know the current terrain of the city better than those living in the base.

If they chased after them, not only might they not get the grains back, but it would also be a question of whether they could return safely.

Presumably, Captain Kong and the others wouldn't do such a thing that would end up losing both the lady and the soldiers.

It was not until the next day that Liu Ruyan learned the follow - up from Zhang Yuan.

One - third of the newly harvested grains were robbed, many people were injured, and the plantation was also damaged to some extent. Some grains were even trampled into the soil in the chaos.

Now, different from the past, people couldn't bear to waste even a single grain.

Thousands of people spent several days sifting through the soil in the fields, picking out every single grain.

The base fulfilled all its previous promises. Everyone who went to work in the plantation was given 100 catties of grain.

Moreover, the injured people received some compensation.

However, after this, another one - third of the remaining grains were gone.

The grains sold in the supermarket every day started to be rationed, and online bookings were not accepted. People could only queue up at the supermarket to buy.

Some people queued from dawn until dusk but still couldn't get their turn. They simply slept outside the supermarket at night and continued queuing early the next morning.

Some people didn't really run out of food. It was just that successive disasters had made them feel insecure.

They always wanted to buy more grains and store them. Only when they had food in hand could they feel at ease.

After the soil in the plantation was fertilized and left to rest for a month, the second - round planting began.

Not only the base residents but also the base itself wanted to store more grains.

At this time, having food was the absolute truth.

To prevent the previous robbery from happening again, the base spent a lot of effort surrounding the plantation, the orchard, and the breeding farm with an electric fence.

Unexpectedly, instead of the city survivors, wild boars and jackals from the mountains rushed down.

Blocked by the electric fence, these wild boars and jackals couldn't hurt people. Instead, they were electrocuted and howled continuously.

The guards in the garden heard the sound, took their guns, followed the sound, and dealt with these wild boars and jackals. As a result, a new batch of meat was added to the base app's mall.
