Chapter 80

Since the space unlocked the water well, they no longer had to worry about water usage.
However, Lin Qianhuan always had to climb to the top floor to transport the well water to the water storage device before it could supply the entire villa for normal use.
Although it was a bit troublesome, it was much cleaner than rainwater.
The two brothers returned to their bedrooms to shower before coming downstairs for dinner. Lin Qianhuan checked both of their hands one by one. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
“Tired, right? Eat quickly.”
Lin Qianhuan served them both rice and got chopsticks. The five of them sat around the dining table and began to eat lunch.
Lin Yixuan took a mouthful of rice, the anger in his heart still not dissipated.
“When I was working this morning, a Mediterranean guy who called himself Captain Zhang came to find us.”
Lin Qianhuan already knew about this and didn’t find it surprising.
“What did he say to you two?”
Mentioning this topic, Lin Wansheng, who had been eating diligently, became interested, wrinkling his nose in disgust.
“He gave us a long speech, saying that if we had the ability, we should contribute more, full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, which was a headache to listen to.”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled: “Second Brother, didn’t you retort?”
Lin Wansheng curled his lips and put a duck leg in her bowl: “Do you think that’s possible?
Your Second Brother just moved his lips, and that old thing turned green with anger.”
“I knew Second Brother wouldn’t let me down.”
Lin Qianhuan smiled and took a bite of the meat, her mood instantly becoming brighter.
She paused for a moment before suddenly remembering to ask: “By the way, how long will it take for you to build this wall?
I see there are quite a few workers. Silver Bay Gardens is only so big, it shouldn’t take too long, right?”
Lin Yixuan: “It will take long.”
Lin Qianhuan: “Why? What happened?”
He sighed and replied faintly: “The workload is too great, and there aren’t enough materials, which will definitely lead to delays.
In addition, 9 out of 10 survivors who come to build the wall are not getting enough to eat, let alone doing this kind of hard labor.
This morning alone, your Second Brother and I saw several people who fainted from hunger and exhaustion.”
Lin Qianhuan wasn’t surprised that the construction period would be delayed, but she didn’t expect the consequences to be so serious.
“What happened to those survivors who fainted?”
Lin Yixuan scoffed: “That guy isn’t responsible at all.
When he sees someone faint, he just throws them on the open space. They can continue working when they wake up.
At most, he’ll give them a sip of water, and deduct it from today’s wages.”
Lin Qianhuan: “Geez, is he even more ruthless than Zhou Skin peeling [a landlord known for exploiting peasants]?”
Implementing the construction of the wall was very convenient and quick in Emerald City, but it was not feasible at all in Silver Bay Gardens.
When Emerald City built the outer wall, it was the early stage of the apocalypse.
Every household had some food stored, and building a wall was naturally a good thing, after all, their physical condition could barely keep up.
But now it has been a long time, and only a few survivors can eat a full meal a day.
Their tired and hungry bodies are not suitable for this kind of hard labor, not to mention that they are not given any supplies to eat.
Lin Qianhuan lightly bit the bamboo chopsticks in her mouth: “When do you think a survivor riot will happen?”
“I guess this afternoon.”
Lin Wansheng answered while gnawing on the duck leg, but Lin Yixuan shook his head.
“I guess it’s already started.”
Lin Qianhuan chuckled: “You guys eat first, I’ll go join the fun.”
How could she miss this kind of scene?
Aside from the purpose of watching the excitement, she also needed to understand Zhang Jianguo’s changes to the implementation of the Silver Bay Gardens renovation plan.
If the wall can’t continue to be built, what new requirements will he make?
The sooner she knows, the sooner 36HUAN Villa can respond.
Lin Qianhuan stood up, looked at the clean home clothes she was wearing, thought for a moment, and then took out a fleece-lined sweatshirt and jeans that were stained when hunting zombies from the space.
She took the two pieces of clothing and rolled them in a pile of dirt in the garden, then put on a pair of ill-fitting rain boots.
The whole set made her look out of place, but it was somewhat related to the bottom survivors.
Outside are survivors who can’t eat enough and can’t keep warm, she doesn’t want to dress like a crane in a flock of chickens and cause trouble for 36HUAN Villa.
This morning, Lin Yixuan and Lin Wansheng were wearing “enhanced” clothes, and she couldn’t be too abrupt, could she?
After putting on her hat and mask, Lin Qianhuan went out and came to the area around Villa 1 to inquire about news.
Sure enough, the surrounding area was full of skinny survivors.
Being squeezed on the outermost circle, she couldn’t hear any useful information. Lin Qianhuan gritted her teeth and squeezed through the crowd to walk inside.
Finally arriving at the inner circle, she could finally see Zhang Jianguo’s current situation clearly.
A large handful of his already sparse hair had been ripped off by a woman, and a piece of scalp had been torn off with it.
His wide, bloated suit was also covered in dust, and he looked very embarrassed.
“My husband fainted from work, and you actually dared to throw him on the open space and ignore him!
Someone was kind enough to feed him a sip of water, and you still deducted it from his wages. Are you still human!”
The woman had strong muscles and looked like a power evolver.
Her face was full of anger, and she beat Zhang Jianguo without any ability to fight back.
The patrol team was stationed around, and the scavenging team was out collecting vehicles and gasoline.
Now, the people living in Villa 1 are just ordinary people without abilities, and they can’t protect Zhang Jianguo at all.
“Damn, I thought you were a good person, organizing everyone to repair the wall for our own good.
But what about the result? You don’t take the lives of ordinary workers seriously at all. What are you talking about building a better home together!
It’s all bullshit!”
The power evolver’s strength was naturally needless to say, the fist as big as a casserole hit Zhang Jianguo one after another, beating him like a stray dog.
The surrounding survivors applauded and cheered, obviously having a lot of resentment towards Zhang Jianguo as well.
Although more than 200 of the survivors were from Emerald City, the remaining 1,300 people didn’t buy Zhang Jianguo’s words at all.
If his behavior is harmful to them, who would be willing to listen to this guy’s command?
Lin Qianhuan stood aside with her arms folded, watching the show, and occasionally cheered with the onlookers.
After hitting him until she was a little tired, the woman finally stopped, but Zhang Jianguo fell to the ground and couldn’t even crawl.
“I’ll give you another chance, if you dare to fool me with those official words again, see if I don’t kill you!
If you want us to listen to you, then show us the real thing, don’t do some bad things to mess with us.
Who is having an easy time in the apocalypse?
I thought you sent people to recruit people to build the wall out of good intentions, but as a result, are you treating us like monkeys?”
Lin Qianhuan stood aside and listened quietly to the woman’s roar, and was impressed in her heart.
In the apocalypse, women themselves are labeled as weak and easily bullied, and are constantly subjected to unfair treatment.
But the woman in front of her not only awakened her Superpower, but also dared to challenge Zhang Jianguo, who had power, connections, and influence.
She was not only fighting for her own interests, but also for all the survivors living in Silver Bay Gardens.
