Chapter 159 Officials or Thieves?
"Brother Meng, there are already people here. It seems that someone has gotten there first!" Wang Yun's face looked a little bad.
Meng Ren frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "As expected."
Others were not fools. Since he could think of the benefits of underground air-raid shelters, others would definitely know it.
Therefore, it was not strange that someone got there first. He was just lucky. Unfortunately, someone else got there first.
However, the area of air-raid shelters is generally large, and it is not strange to accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
Although Yunhai City is not a first-tier city, according to the information he found, the air-raid shelter in front of him is enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 people.
"We are survivors, and we want to take refuge in this air-raid shelter!" Meng Ren stated his purpose.
Not far away, a young man was holding a bow and arrow and staring at Meng Ren and others with a vigilant look. He looked about 30 years old, and his whole face was pale and thin. It was obvious that he was malnourished.
It seems that the food of this group of people is not very good!
Meng Ren narrowed his eyes. He could tell a lot from the man's mental state.
Listening to Meng Ren's words, the young man sneered: "No, this air-raid shelter has been occupied by us. If you want to take a place other than the men, go find another place by yourself."
"There are so many places to take refuge in Yunhai City. Why are you running over to grab it from us?"
As soon as this was said, Meng Ren and the other two frowned.
Wang Yun and Ou Mingxue did not speak, but just looked at Meng Ren, waiting for him to make a decision.
But at this moment, a voice came from inside.
"What's going on? What happened?" A steady and powerful voice sounded, and then a middle-aged man walked out of the underground air-raid shelter.
"Brother Liu, three people came to take refuge in our air-raid shelter!" The young man said, showing a flattering smile to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man's face became serious: "Since they are survivors, of course they can live here. This is a shelter built by the government. Anyone who wants to live here can live here."
The young man couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this: "Brother Liu, these three people are completely outsiders. What if they have any bad ideas?"
"Nonsense, the more difficult it is, the more we should unite and help each other. Besides, they didn't hurt us. How can we refuse them refuge just because of suspicion?"
"Xiao Li, your awareness is still not high enough. How can you do this!" The middle-aged man surnamed Liu scolded.
The young man wanted to say something, but seeing Liu Guodong's unhappy expression, he finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, since Brother Liu said so, I have no opinion!" Li Feng said helplessly.
Liu Guodong nodded with satisfaction. He then walked forward and his eyes fell on Meng Ren and the other two. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Ou Mingxue and his eyes lit up.
What a beautiful woman!
Liu Guodong's eyes were a little straight. It was very rare to see a woman as beautiful as Ou Mingxue. Both her face and figure were above 95 points, enough to make ordinary people unable to walk.
"Are you three the ones who want to join our shelter? I am the deputy leader of this shelter. My name is Liu Guodong. On behalf of the shelter, I welcome you to join!" Liu Guodong smiled and stretched out his hand.
Although he said he welcomed the three of them, his eyes were always on Ou Mingxue.
Ou Mingxue frowned slightly. She was too familiar with Liu Guodong's eyes. She didn't know how many times she had seen them. Every time these men saw her, they wanted to eat her up.
Although Ou Mingxue was used to it, she still felt a little disgusted in her heart.
Meng Ren stepped forward: "Sorry, we are not going to join your shelter, we just want to enter the underground air-raid shelter for refuge."
Hmm?
After this, Liu Guodong's face became a little scrutinizing: "Is this little brother the captain?"
"I guess so. I have the final say here!" Meng Ren said.
Wang Yun and Ou Mingxue didn't say anything, so they naturally acknowledged Meng Ren's words.
Liu Guodong looked Meng Ren up and down, and didn't expect that he was actually the captain. Meng Ren in front of him looked ordinary, how did he become the captain?
"Little brother, we are an official shelter, you don't need to worry about anything. Now facing natural disasters such as extremely hot weather, we should unite together, so that we can..."
Before Liu Guodong finished speaking, Meng Ren interrupted him directly: "Sorry, we don't join any forces!"
He didn't agree with Liu Guodong's words. What official shelter? The official is probably too busy to take care of itself now, right?
Under the extremely hot era, all countries in the world were destroyed in a very short time, and the entire human social order collapsed completely. The current society has become chaotic, and there is no official force.
Those who can use the official tiger skin now basically have no good intentions.
He will not believe a stranger's words, even if the other party claims to be official.
Let's not talk about whether the other party is or not. Even if it is true, he will have to observe before making plans.
"We are just taking refuge in the air raid shelter. We are not joining any forces and we certainly won't cause any trouble to you!" Meng Ren expressed his attitude.
Liu Guodong's face was not looking good. Meng Ren in front of him seemed to be indifferent to the daily necessities.
When the previous survivors heard that he was an official force, they immediately joined with joy. Why didn't Meng Ren play by the rules?
"Little brother, if you don't want to join, I'm afraid I can't let you in!"
"I can't be sure if you have any other thoughts." Liu Guodong narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Ren.
Meng Ren frowned: "Didn't you just say that anyone can enter the shelter?"
"Why can't I enter now if I don't join?"
"Since it is official, shouldn't everyone be welcomed to take refuge?"
"Just because we don't join now doesn't mean we won't join in the future. Your attitude of forcing people to join doesn't sound like what the official would say. Instead, it's more like someone who is swindling under the banner of the official."
Liu Guodong was startled and quickly changed his words: "Wait, I didn't refuse you to enter the shelter, just to avoid..."
"Avoid what? Didn't you say that everyone is a survivor and you are all welcome?" Meng Ren looked at him.
Liu Guodong: "..."
His expression was not very good, and he forced a smile: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing just now. We welcome any survivors to enter the shelter, but if you don't join, you must abide by some rules!"
