Chapter 323 Borrowing a Fire

New Year's Day.

Li Yu rubbed his dizzy head early in the morning. He and Cannon drank a lot of wine last night. Although they were not broken in the end, they were still half drunk.

After waking up, he walked to the gate first. This was his long-standing habit. Even if he was not on duty, he would go to the gate every time after exercising.

After leaving the door, the cold air froze, Li Yu's spirit was shaken, and he became much more awake.

Creak, creak, creak~

Li Yu stepped on the snow and walked towards the gate.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the base, and Li Yu opened the door of the duty room.

Seeing my second uncle sitting in the duty room a little sleepy, I happened to yawn.

"Happy New Year to my second uncle." Li Yu said to his second uncle with a smile on his face.

"Xiaoyu, happy New Year." The second uncle said as he rubbed his eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work last night." Li Yu said with some embarrassment. During many gatherings and other events, his second uncle was always on duty, although he also replaced him during the period and participated for a while.

But last night on New Year's Eve, my second uncle was also on duty at the gate.

Li Yu originally arranged a duty schedule and came at several times yesterday, but he couldn't defeat his second uncle.

"What's the point? It's always the same. Besides, I came over last night to participate. Okay, now that you're here, I'll go back and take a nap," said the second uncle.

He picked up his coat and put it on himself, then walked out of the duty room.

Just as the second uncle left, the duty room was pushed open again and two people walked in.

She is the second daughter of Li Haoran and Lai Dongsheng. They are the two working the day shift at the gate today.

"Brother. Happy New Year~"

"Brother, happy new year~"

Li Haoran was a little surprised to see Li Yu, but he quickly said hello. Lai Dongsheng's second daughter standing next to him also called him eldest brother.

Li Yu nodded and said Happy New Year.

Then he walked out of the duty room.

He planned to walk around the wall as if it were a walk. With the speed of his feet, it would take less than 10 minutes to complete the circle.

While walking on the fence, I met some other people from the base and wished them a happy New Year.

After walking around, Li Yu returned to the residential area for breakfast.

There is always something different in the new year.

Chinese people more or less have such expectations, hoping that the future will be better and that everything will be fine.

New Year's Day.

There is more or less the atmosphere of the New Year in the base, with the newly posted couplets and the little red lanterns hanging up.

And every person I met, the new clothes I wore.

Happy New Year. Li Yu murmured while standing on the roof of the villa.

Time passed by, and the temperature began to rise slowly. Although the speed was very slow, at least it was no longer the terrifying temperature of forty or fifty degrees below zero.

It's at least 30 degrees below zero now, especially when people are outdoors.

It was getting warmer, like the darkness before dawn.

Everyone is already feeling a little uncomfortable being unable to go out in this severe cold weather.

But compared to the vast majority of survivors in other parts of the world, the people in Da Zhangshu Base are lucky.

At least they don't have to worry about food now, and they don't have to be injured or killed by the cold weather.

It was getting late, and Li Yu returned to the room.

Safe city.

In the cold weather, the gate guards have retreated, put up the guardrail outside the gate, and locked the iron lock on the gate.

At this time, the safe city has become no longer so safe.

Whenever late at night, Mr. Wang can always hear screams, quarrels, and shrill begging for mercy around him.

Mr. Wang saw through the window that the patrol team members would deal with it at the beginning to ensure people's safety.

But there are more and more such things, and as everyone consumes more and more materials, many people are struggling on the edge of starvation.

When a person's life and death are at stake, especially when his life hangs on a thread, morality, shame, and face are no longer important. The word "death" is on both sides, so it is better to fight hard and maybe survive for two more days.

Mr. Wang hid in his room and did not dare to go out.

He even blocked the doorway with some of the only furniture in his home to prevent anyone from staring at him.

He also pushed the dusty refrigerator to the door and blocked it.

However, what he didn't know was that the couple downstairs had already set their sights on him.

When Mr. Wang just moved in, the skinny man downstairs watched him move things up.

Mr. Wang had to move the things more than a dozen times before stopping. In these days, since the weather started to get cold, Mr. Wang has not left the door.

Only occasionally did they hear the brief opening of a window upstairs.

On this day, Mr. Wang, who was lying in bed, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Bang bang bang~

Mr. Wang mistakenly believed that he was hearing hallucinations. He did not know anyone in this safe city, and it was unlikely that anyone would find him.

"Hello, I'm the neighbor downstairs. We have no fire. I would like to borrow a lighter. It's okay if you don't have a lighter. Just borrow a lighter." As if he was afraid that Mr. Wang would misunderstand, the man said quickly.

Judging from the voice, it was a woman's. Her voice was soft and weak, and it didn't sound offensive at all.

When Mr. Wang heard this woman's voice, he thought it was indeed the woman downstairs, but all he heard before were begging for mercy or screaming.

Mr. Wang moved slightly, slightly.

The weather was extremely cold, and he didn't want to waste his energy or heat doing anything.

Can't get up.

Bang bang bang~

The person knocking at the door was knocking very stubbornly.

Mr. Wang was unmoved, turned around and continued to sleep.

The knocking continued for a few more minutes, but without any reply, it seemed to have given up.

Mr. Wang pricked up his ears and listened. There was indeed no sound, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now all the windows and security windows in the house and the doors are closed tightly.

Last night, the building opposite had been noisy for a long time, so he didn't get much sleep last night, so he was just in time to catch up on his sleep.

Just when Mr. Wang was about to fall asleep.

There was a loud bang, which frightened Mr. Wang.

This sound.

It's at the gate.

md

Boom!

There was another loud bang.

There is no doubt that it is the main door.

The two hanging men were forcefully breaking open his door.

"Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Mr. Wang became angry.

He has not gone out to cause trouble these days, and has not had any interactions with this neighbor, but this does not mean that Mr. Wang is a person who is afraid of trouble.

Mr. Wang got up from the bed all of a sudden. As always, he was cautious every time he got up, for fear that the heater in the bed would escape.

Nothing matters at this point.

After getting up, quickly put on your coat and then put on your shoes.

At the same time, the banging at the door continued.

Mr. Wang became more and more angry. After getting dressed, he glanced to the right.

Then he took out a pistol from under the pillow and checked the bullets.

OK.
