Chapter 90 Unexpected Situations
If the Shengshi base were to be so easily breached by others, it would be a laughingstock among all the official bases.
Soldiers stationed at the base entrance quickly stopped the few people who tried to force their way into the base.
Those people were shouting, "What kind of big base is this? Why are you taking supplies from ordinary people?"
I think you're just bullying ordinary people, taking advantage of our small numbers.
"Exactly! Other bases don't accept supplies, and this is supposed to be an official base. Isn't this just like being a bandit?"
"What time is it now? How much supplies do we have left? How could one person possibly take out ten pounds of supplies for you all at once?"
"You're asking me to hand over ten kilograms of supplies now? Isn't that asking me to give up my life?"
The people who were stopped had various opinions and complained that the base's acceptance of supplies was unreasonable.
The person in charge at the base said, "The rule at the base is that each person must hand over ten kilograms of supplies before they can enter."
Our base has had this rule from the very beginning, and there has been no increase or decrease.
Moreover, all the major bases of the national government receive supplies; otherwise, how could the bases support so many people?
Don't blame me for being harsh, but those who want to cause trouble should take a look at the guns in the hands of our soldiers on guard duty.
"You won't be allowed through this gate today unless you hand over enough supplies. Only those who have handed over the supplies can enter the base."
Those in charge know the principle of giving a beating followed by a sweet treat.
Then he added, "After handing over the supplies, you can enter the base without any worries. You have no idea how much better life is inside the base than outside."
After he said this, some people who had been hiding their lack of supplies quickly took out ten kilograms of supplies, handed them over, and entered the base.
The base management designated a special area for those who entered the base after the extreme heat.
It's not about discriminating against them, but about taking precautions to prevent them from bringing in germs from outside.
The few people who had caused trouble earlier, trying to take advantage of others, couldn't sit still anymore when they saw that everyone else had entered the base.
They quickly pulled supplies out of their bags and followed the crowd into the base.
Officials from the base took them to the designated area, where the base had already rebuilt a housing complex.
Bai Tang and the others stayed at home for a few days, but they couldn't stand it anymore, so they drove around the base, originally planning to go to the base's service hall to see if there were any missions they could take on.
Then they saw the group of people who had just entered the base on the way.
The group thought everything was great at the base, and some even thought the base would provide them with rooms to live in.
Their illusions were quickly shattered as the group looked at the crowded rows of bungalows in front of them.
Those people who caused trouble at the base entrance earlier are starting to nitpick again.
"Where have you put us? I think those buildings over there are nice. Could you let us stay there?"
"That's right, that's right. I thought that cluster of courtyards we just passed was nice. I'm not picky, I just want to stay in one of those courtyards."
"Your little house isn't well-ventilated at all. How can anyone live here in this heat?"
As soon as they said that, the official who brought them there rolled his eyes.
It's truly a case of insatiable greed; the base is already being quite generous by offering them temporary accommodation in this small bungalow for free.
The first people who entered the base all lived in tents.
Just as they were about to cause trouble again, Bai Tang and his group passed by and overheard them.
Bai Tang felt that since she had received benefits from the base, she should do something for the base.
I parked the car next to them, got out, and asked the base staff what had happened.
The staff member recognized Bai Tang and his team, as they usually brought back some mutated animals every time they left the base.
Then he told Bai Tang in detail what had just happened.
When the troublemakers saw that Bai Tang was a woman, they shouted:
"It's none of your business, you woman. Go play somewhere else."
Bai Tang had only come over out of kindness to ask what had happened, and offered to help by calling for help from the base patrol team.
Upon hearing this, she instantly laughed in anger and immediately retorted:
"You ungrateful wretch, weren't you born a woman? What are you talking about?"
The man became furious when he heard that Bai Tang dared to contradict him.
He was cursing and was about to walk over, intending to throw a punch at Bai Tang, but Bai Tang reached out and stopped Gu Yanxu and the others who were about to step forward.
As the man reached out, Bai Tang grabbed his dirty hand with one hand and punched him on the head with the other.
Lin Fan exclaimed from behind, "Wow! My sister-in-law is so powerful and domineering!"
The man was thin and weak, clearly malnourished, and hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.
Bai Tang was a trained fighter, and with one punch, the man fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
If something can be resolved with force, Bai Tang will never resort to whining or sophistry.
Bai Tang didn't intend to meddle, but some people just had a sharp tongue.
The man fell to the ground, clutching his head and crying out in pain, demanding compensation from Bai Tang.
"Help! I'm going to be beaten to death! It hurts so much!"
"Come and see! This woman is beating someone in broad daylight! Is there no justice in this world?"
However, Bai Tang did not kill him; she simply used a clever technique to knock him down.
Those who came with him saw how fierce Bai Tang was and all retreated, no one daring to go up and say anything more.
The base's official staff wouldn't care about him either; he was the one who stood up to cause trouble, and he deserved to be punished.
Soon, a group of people from the base gathered outside to watch the spectacle; they recognized Bai Tang and his team.
Moreover, considering how many mutated wild boars Bai Tang and his group brought back, they naturally sided with Bai Tang.
No one spoke up for the man who had been hit.
The man howled for a while, but no one paid any attention to him, so he stood up on his own.
At this point, the onlookers were laughing at him, saying, "What are you pretending for? How much could a little girl like you hurt? You were able to get up on your own, weren't you?"
Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, the man slunk away to the very back of their group.
Seeing that the problem was solved with a single punch, Bai Tang wanted to leave without lingering any longer.
The staff at the base came over and said, "Thank you, Captain Bai, for your kind assistance."
Bai Tang: "It's okay. Our base's teams always help out in these kinds of situations. I just can't stand those foul-mouthed people."
Staff member: "Anyway, thank you."
The staff continued to arrange accommodations for their group, and the people who had gathered at the base quickly dispersed, given the sweltering heat.
Bai Tang and the others got into the car, preparing to go to the service center to see if there was any new information.
