Chapter 26 What a cunning woman!
"Why?"
Su Yi was stunned, a little overjoyed: "Is there any surprise?"

"A special event, can it still be like a mission being completed? Are there rewards?"
"I satisfied the spiritual needs of the talent, so the talent made progress in becoming stronger?"
"I made a profit this time!"
Su Yi smiled happily. Not only was this a group of coolies in vain, but it also allowed Lin Yue to grow.
As Lin Yue is currently the only military force in the refuge, Su Yi naturally hopes that she will be as strong as possible.
"Lin Yue currently has a C-level grade. If he can become stronger again, he can break through to B-level, right?"
"I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't know when this feature will be effective."
Su Yi looked outside the building.
...
"Sister Li, do you think he...will he allow us to go home?"
Outside the building, among more than a dozen women, a girl in her early twenties spoke timidly.
Her charming face was pale, there were shocking crimson pinch marks on her neck, and her shabby clothes were in tatters.
Even though there was a hot red sun above her head, and the surrounding temperature was so hot that even if she was almost naked, she would suffer from heat stroke, the girl still tried hard to pull at the tattered clothes on her body, trying her best to cover more skin.
She was scared, so scared that she still felt cold despite the high temperature.
"Maybe...I don't know."
An aunt who was about forty years old had a tired expression. She looked at the sisters beside her, hugged the girl with some distress, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid... I don't think that young man is a bad person."
"He drove away those bastards named Li, and he can be regarded as our savior."
"Whether he lets us go home or not... at least he didn't hurt us. It's just a pity for Xiao Wang. If she is still alive..."
Sister Li took a deep breath, her expression gloomy.
The girl in her arms couldn't help sobbing, and her tears couldn't stop falling.
When the women around them heard this, they also had deep resentment on their expressions. The one named Li led the group of bastards, and even the girl's underage sister was not spared.
"Where are we going to go if he doesn't let us in?"
Someone spoke in a low voice, with despair and a will to die in his eyes.
"have no idea."
One girl shook her head, with deep hesitation in her eyes: "Perhaps, he will really die..."
They have already tried it. From yesterday after being evicted until now, they have seen the chaotic outside world.
Outside there was only the scorching heat and thugs, and countless pairs of eyes from the darkness staring at this group of women. They just slept together in the subway station for one night, and there were three missing.
Three women disappeared innocently in the dark night, and no one knew what happened to them.
The remaining women did not dare to stay in the subway station at all, but when they walked out of the subway station and faced the daytime sun, they were so hot that they almost fainted and had no idea where to go.
They walked aimlessly, full of fear and uneasiness.
Unknowingly, the women returned to the vicinity of the residential building not long ago, but they encountered a group of men who were out searching for supplies and were surrounded on the spot.
This group of men tried to abduct the women by force. Once they were taken away, they might end up becoming new slaves.
At the most desperate moment, Lin Yue appeared, drove away the thugs, and took them downstairs.
The girl with the rifle said her chief might be willing to take them in.
Chief, this is a title that makes people feel at ease unconsciously.
This girl should be a soldier, and her boss should have the same sense of security as a soldier.
The women didn't know and could only make confused guesses in their hearts.
"Here it comes! She's out!"
A woman suddenly screamed, and the girls raised their heads and saw that the door of the building in front of them had been opened.
Lin Yue walked out with a serious face and a rifle on his back.
The girls noticed that there was a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam in front of Lin Yue, and Lin Yue seemed to lead her.
"Are you the new friends Lin Yue brought back?"
Jiang Xiaoci's voice was very gentle. He stepped forward and naturally took Sister Li's hands: "Are you Sister Li? I heard Lin Yue mentioned you. You have always taken care of the girls. You are really a great sister."
"I...I..."
Sister Li was stunned for a moment, at a loss as to what to say.
"But fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and you are finally back."
Jiang Xiaoci pulled Sister Li and called the girls at the same time: "Why are you still hanging around? Come home with me quickly."
"go home..."
A girl timidly said in the crowd: "Won't that man drive us away? He drove us away yesterday. He doesn't seem to welcome us."
"Are you talking about Mr. Su?"
Jiang Xiaoci looked at the girl and explained gently: "I asked you to leave yesterday because I was worried that there were still thugs hiding in the building. In order to eliminate the threats in my home, Mr. Su was indeed forced to let you stay outside all night. "
"But now it has been confirmed that there is no danger in this building, so Mr. Su will send Lin Yue out to look for you as soon as daybreak."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Su did something inappropriate. I want to apologize to the sisters on his behalf."
Jiang Xiaoci spoke very sincerely, with an apology on her beautiful face.
Lin Yue felt a little uncomfortable on the sidelines. She was not used to being a character in lies.
Although the reason Jiang Xiaoci said is a bit far-fetched, in today's chaotic and dark world, no matter how far-fetched the reason is, it can be accepted.
As long as you can survive!
"Really?"
Sister Li was a little surprised. She looked at Jiang Xiaoci with gratitude: "You are really good people!"
"The soldiers showed up yesterday and killed those bastards named Li. I knew you were good people!"
"And you are all girls, only Su... Yes, Mr. Su, he is the only man."
"A man who can be followed by you will definitely not be a bad person."
Sister Li's words were a little messy, and she was very excited at the moment.
Being able to return to your original home without fear outside is the survival instinct of all humans.
"Come back with me quickly and have a good rest. I've prepared food and water."
Jiang Xiaoci paused and smiled softly: "You can also take a bath. In this weather... there is a ready-made hot bath."
bath!
The women's eyes lit up, they hadn't taken a shower for how many days!
Since the man surnamed Li took over the entire building, they have been abused every day and can only eat the leftovers left by the men to satisfy their hunger.
Luscious food and hot baths...even though they had been experienced a week ago, they seemed centuries ago now.
"Okay, let's go home."
Sister Li nodded excitedly and led her sisters into the building following Jiang Xiaoci.
Lin Yue watched from the side, her eyes mostly falling on Jiang Xiaoci.
Lin Yue muttered: "No wonder the chief values her, she is such a cunning woman..."
"Um?"
Jiang Xiaoci turned back: "Miss Lin, what are you talking about?"
"Ah, nothing!"
Lin Yue waved his hand quickly: "Hearing and hearing hallucinations, I didn't say anything."
"Yeah, maybe I'm a little tired."
Jiang Xiaoci turned around with a smile, and Lin Yue was so frightened that she quickly stuck out her tongue: "Oh my god, this woman's ears are so sensitive!"
...
Jiang Xiaoci's work efficiency was very good. She brought the women back to the building and arranged everyone's accommodation in just half an hour.
They originally lived in the building, but they lived on different floors and rooms.
Jiang Xiaoci did not let the women live together, but asked them to go back to their respective homes, clean the messy houses after the war, and personally deliver drinking water and food from door to door.
After the women enjoyed a hearty meal, they took turns washing off the dirt on their bodies in the bathtub on the second floor and changing into their own clothes at home.
In a daze, they seemed to have returned to before the end.
Except for the fact that the weather was so hot that it made people dizzy, it seemed that all the horrors had not happened.
But soon, Jiang Xiaoci broke this illusion. She gathered the women in the lobby on the first floor.
"Sisters, everyone should be very aware of the situation outside now."
Jiang Xiaoci looked at the twelve women in front of him and said calmly: "The end of the world has arrived, this is reality! Humanity must stick together to survive!"
"As a woman, I know better than anyone else that under this disaster, women's status will decline sharply and their survival will not be guaranteed."
"Although Mr. Su is a man, he is also a benevolent leader. He cleaned up our home and provided food, water and safety."
"This is an extremely rare and valuable thing in a doomsday survival environment."
Jiang Xiaoci's tone gradually became serious: "In order to protect this peace and harmony, I hope that the sisters can unite together and protect our home."
"Only through unity can we survive in the apocalypse!"
"I don't want anyone to destroy my home, and I don't want anyone to miss the concept of peace."
"Throw away all your pride! Put away your princess disease! Live seriously!"
Jiang Xiaoci's words were very simple and simple, but they could still bring tears to the eyes of the women in front of her.
They have already suffered and are more adaptable to this sudden doomsday era than anyone else.
"Ms. Jiang, guarding our home means we...do we need to fight?"
In the crowd, a little girl timidly said: "I have never fought with anyone."
"No, you don't need to take risks."
Jiang Xiaoci smiled at her tenderly and comforted her frightened heart: "Mr. Su will arrange someone to protect us regarding the battle."
"In our shelter, everyone performs their duties. Miss Lin Yue, for example, is our warrior."
"She will naturally do the dangerous work."
Jiang Xiaoci looked at Lin Yue, who was standing next to him with a gun, and asked with a smile: "Really, Miss Lin Yue? You will protect us, right?"
"Promise to complete the mission!"
Lin Yue stood at attention with a snap, head held high, and her pretty face extremely serious: "Protecting people's lives and safety! It is my obligation and responsibility!"
This familiar firm emphasis and almost roaring declaration makes every woman feel a deep sense of security in her heart.
The declaration spoken by Chinese soldiers is not just a simple slogan, it is traditional literacy and instinctive cognition that have been tested by war.
"So, you don't need to go into a fight that might happen."
Jiang Xiaoci turned to the women again and smiled: "Of course, we can't keep idle people in the shelter. We all have to contribute our own strength to make our home safer."
"For example, clean the building, wash clothes and cook, move supplies, and help Li Ya to transform and repair the building's defense measures and traps."
"Doing some work in advance can naturally effectively improve the shelter's resistance to danger."
"Before that, I will make detailed division of labor and arrangements based on everyone's specialties and professions."
"Everyone doesn't need to be nervous, just think of it as finding a job with food and accommodation. If you think like this... don't you feel much more relaxed?"
Jiang Xiaoci is very good at controlling the situation. In her few words, the women's emotions gradually calmed down, and their faces also showed a look of yearning and expectation for a stable life.
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly slapped his head and lowered his voice: "Oh no, Miss Jiang, I seem to have forgotten something!"
"I have to report to the chief quickly!"
