Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Replacement
She deliberately glanced at Fan Qing, wanting to tell her.
Whatever other thoughts she had, she couldn’t throw a fit about this.
Zhang Kaiyang and Ye Mianmian were doing this for everyone, including her.
"Yes, at times like this, we need to help each other."
Song Yi also noticed her change, so he echoed the sentiment.
Ye Mianmian wasn’t foolish. Fan Qing had been silent just now.
Even though the reason was not finding the laboratory, it was mostly because she was angry with her.
Although she really didn’t want to deal with it, for everyone’s sake, she took the initiative to break the ice.
"Right, Qingqing, I’m sorry about earlier. Zhang Kaiyang and I are nothing, it was just our conversation got carried away.
You mustn’t misunderstand, and please don’t be upset!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Kaiyang hurried over.
"Definitely not, how could Qingqing not see that? It’s just that the recent pressure has been frightening."
Hearing a way out, naturally, it was time to take it.
Fan Qing also squeezed out a smile, truly uglier than crying.
"Sister Mianmian, I’m not, don’t worry."
"Mmm..."
Ye Mianmian smiled back at her and then turned around, her face immediately fell.
So annoying, with troubles inside and out.
And she had to coax this lady, such a hassle.
Jhiang Yuan came over and took her by the hand as one by one they showed no meekness, leaving her feeling powerless.
"Mianmian, come over here, there’s a lot of stuff, let’s see what we can take."
Upon mentioning this, the rest of them also looked over.
"Wow, this is amazing!"
Zhang Kaiyang exclaimed, looking at the items in front of him, unable to contain his excitement.
"Indeed, if only we had some firewood, we could cook and eat."
The feeling of seeing but not being able to eat was not a good one.
"Don’t worry, let’s go to the place next door.
Inside there, there are lots of food items, we won’t lack anything to eat."
As Song Yi said this, everyone got excited.
"What are we waiting for then, let’s hurry, while it’s still early."
Zhang Kaiyang was eager to start but was stopped by Jhiang Yuan.
"Don’t rush, there’s so much stuff here, let’s take a bit.
It will be easier later."
When they had come, everyone had brought a backpack.
A whole bag of rice couldn’t be taken, but three to five kilos were definitely manageable.
This stuff could be life-saving at a crucial moment.
"Right, look, I got confused."
A few people started to gather stuff. Song Yi did not let everyone just grab anything.
The rice was in hundred-pound bags, just open a bag and take as much as needed.
Oil and flour were not considered, but salt was in small bags and could be packed a bit.
The rest could not be wasted.
This joy was uncontainable.
But nobody took too much, fearing it would be inconvenient.
This feeling was too familiar, just like the previous "Zero-Dollar Purchase," thrilled beyond words.
Fan Qing also softened quite a bit and joined in gathering stuff.
"What’s up, Brother Song?"
Song Yi suddenly ran forward, he must have discovered something.
The others didn’t dare to be careless and quickly followed.
"There’s rustling outside, someone speaking, it sounds like someone got hit by a falling rock."
"Wearing this uniform, he must be here to change shifts."
"What, there’s a shift change?"
Jhiang Yuan’s heart sank, this could complicate things.
Once they discover what’s happening here, they will be on alert.
No wonder there were only eight of them just now; it turns out, it’s done in shifts.
Right next to this special place, there is a small opening.
Four square and proper, it’s specially left to observe the outside situation.
Song Yi knew about this place, but it was too small, only big enough for one person to watch from.
The people behind were anxious, with no other options.
"They’re coming, let’s get ready!"
It was so sudden, indeed somewhat uncomfortable.
However, everyone still split up, on both sides of the iron door.
"Bang Bang Bang..."
"Qiangzi, we’re here now, open the door!"
She didn’t know who Qiangzi was, he must be one of those lying in the back.
After a while, there was no movement; those people got even more jittery, knocking on the door even harder.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Song Yi fired three arrows, shattering the small window glass immediately.
The next two arrows flew directly, accurately hitting two people.
"Ah..."
These two people had been trying to come over to look inside through the small window.
Luckily, Song Yi didn’t miss.
There were originally eight people outside; now, with two less, the remaining ones were even more tense.
At the same time, they also retreated to a safe distance.
The two groups confronted each other like this.
Beside them was a trench in front of the walls, although it was partly buried by bricks that had fallen from above.
But it was still a good hiding spot, so they ambushed there.
"Pfft, scared, huh? Let’s just wait here. They’ll freeze to death soon,"
Zhang Kaiyang was somewhat triumphant, his voice getting much louder.
"Not necessarily..."
"It really can freeze people to death; they’re not moving at all."
He continued trying to convince Song Yi, clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
"They might go for reinforcements..."
A single statement stirred up a storm, and everyone held their breath.
If that was the case, then they were really in trouble.
Even if these few people were guarding this place, it would not be sufficient.
A casual show-up of more people would mean an overwhelming victory for them.
Moreover, as this was the supply storage, it was even more unlikely to be left to chance.
"No problem, follow me..."
Song Yi said, instructing Zhang Kaiyang to follow him, while Jhiang Yuan and three girls were responsible for guarding here.
The two of them were actually moving the last stack of salt, located in the innermost corner.
"What are they doing?"
Ye Mianmian, puzzled, asked Jhiang Yuan.
"I’m not sure, let’s go and see. Be careful, you two.
If there’s any issue, call me immediately."
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
This time, even Fan Qing had no objections, her entire being tensely fixated on the outside.
Jhiang Yuan directly went to the most inner suite number three; the two were bustling vigorously.
"What is this?"
"There should be a passage inside. A guard once got drunk and told me about it.
I don’t know if it’s true or not; let’s just check it out."
Well, it’s always better than just sitting and waiting to die.
"Then you guys keep busy, I’ll go watch the front. If you need help, just call..."
"Okay..."
A hundred pounds of stuff, her small frame also struggles with it.
She couldn’t bring her father out from the space, so she had to go out.
As she passed the second suite, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
All this stuff, it would be wasteful not to take it.
Outside were all rice, white flour, buckwheat flour, and cornmeal, all good stuff.
Once inside, nothing could be seen from either end.
She began to hoard frantically, racing against time.
