Chapter 370
"Mingyue, what's wrong with you? Who are you angry with?" With the arrival of a large number of survivors, Meng Mingyue was very busy.
When Meng Mingyue saw that it was her, she let out a sigh and told her about the officials who had blocked Xiao Xiao's office and demanded the house.
Zhou Shuwan frowned and was about to say something when he heard a commotion coming from outside the base.
Meng Mingyue just came out of the office and walked straight outside.
Therefore, they are very close to the entrance of the base and can hear any sound.
At this moment, noisy voices were heard from the other side, mixed with crying and cursing.
"What's going on?" Zhou Shuwan and Meng Mingyue looked at each other, quickly walked out of the base and headed towards the direction where the sound came from.
At the gate of the base, there was a family gathered. They were dressed in rags, looked pale and thin, and looked tired. It was obvious that they had come from a long journey.
The guards at the entrance of the base, weapons in hand, stopped them and prevented them from entering the base.
"Let us in, we are from J City." The middle-aged man in the lead shouted loudly.
"We've been walking for a long time and we're tired and hungry. Let us go in and rest for a while." The woman behind the man pleaded.
Zhou Shuwan and Meng Mingyue approached. She felt that the voices were very familiar. After careful identification, she found that it was Uncle Zhong and others.
Her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Uncle Zhong was now pointing his finger at the guards, cursing, "You idiots! We've come all the way from J City! Do you know who we are? We're relatives of the base leader, Zhou Shuwan! How dare you stop us? Let us in!"
Behind him, Aunt Zhong, Cousin Zhong, and Cousin Zhong's wife also started shouting, while several children hid behind the adults, trembling.
The city guards looked at each other. Zhou Shuwan had been helping to set up the base these days, and her husband Qi Mingyu had been training the security team, which included the city guards, so they all knew Zhou Shuwan.
But since he didn't know Zhou Shuwan's relatives, he naturally didn't dare to let them go easily.
"I'm sorry, we haven't received any notification and can't let you in," one of the guards patiently explained, "You need to register first and then wait for review."
"Audit? What's the audit? We're almost starving to death, and we still need an audit!" Uncle Zhong shouted angrily, "Hurry and let us in! Can you afford to waste our time?"
As he spoke, he tried to push the guards and force his way into the base.
Upon seeing this, the city guards immediately raised their weapons and shouted, "No more trouble! Otherwise, we will not be polite!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Zhou Shuwan bit her lip and was about to walk over.
Then they saw several large trucks driving in from outside the base. The leading one stopped and paused, and then a figure got out of the truck. It was Zhang Jia.
Uncle Zhong's family was immediately overjoyed to see her and rushed over to greet her: "Xiao Jia, Xiao Jia, do you still recognize me? I'm Wanwan's uncle!"
"I am Wanwan's aunt. Fortunately, I met you. Look, these people who look down on others won't let us in at all! Xiaojia, please tell them that we are Wanwan's relatives and we don't have to queue up for review!" The eldest aunt also said hurriedly.
Zhang Jia frowned slightly.
She knew that Zhou Shuwan and Uncle Zhong were relatives, but the relationship between the two families was not good.
So, it's really hard for her to help with this.
She even felt a little regretful for revealing to them that she knew Zhou Shuwan.
But seeing that the other family was quarreling all the time, which had a very bad influence, the people in the long queue behind them had already started to peek and murmur.
He hurried over and whispered, "It's Uncle Zhong, are you guys coming to the base?"
Uncle Zhong's face was filled with smiles: "Yes, Xiaojia! It's great to see you! Hurry up and talk to these guards and ask them to let us in."
"Uncle Zhong, don't worry," she turned to the city guards and said, "They are people I know. Please let them rest for a while. I will take them to register later."
When the city guards saw that it was Zhang Jia who came forward, they all put down their weapons and let Uncle Zhong and his family rest aside.
Uncle Zhong and his family had come from far away, thousands of miles away. They were tired and hungry, but they had to queue at the gate of the base. Naturally, they couldn't stand it. When they saw Zhang Jia, they shouted, hoping that for her sake, they could enter the base earlier.
Zhang Jia took them to the side, thought for a moment, and then gently persuaded them to line up properly and undergo the required inspection before entering the base. He also gave them a few compressed biscuits.
This was also for Zhou Shuwan's sake. Otherwise, she wouldn't like the character of Uncle Zhong's family and would stay as far away from them as possible.
Uncle Zhong used his eloquence again to try to persuade Zhang Jiahe and the city guards to let his family in.
After being rejected repeatedly by the other party, he realized that the other party was not easy to fool, so he had to soften his attitude, calling "Xiao Jia" one by one, walking to the side with his family, and apologized to the city guard and Zhang Jia.
Zhang Jia had no choice but to say something casually, "Let's talk about it after you enter the base," and then he said he had something to do and hurried into the base.
She didn't see the gleam of light in Uncle Zhong's eyes behind her. Rubbing his hands and brushing off the non-existent dust on his clothes, Uncle Zhong put on a false smile and watched Zhang Jia leave.
The trees along the roadside cast mottled shadows, their sparse branches swaying gently in the breeze. The chirping of cicadas added a touch of boredom to the slightly hot afternoon.
Watching Zhang Jia disappear through the base gate, Uncle Zhong turned around, the smile on his face instantly vanishing, replaced by a calculating look. He lowered his voice to his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, saying, "Little sister's family must be here, and doing well. Otherwise, that little bitch Zhang Jia, who was clearly annoyed by us, yet patiently fed us and tried to persuade us with kind words, is she afraid of the Zhou family's trouble? What else could it be?"
His wife, initially distressed at him being scolded by the city guards, perked up after hearing this, a look of surprise on her face: "Really? I told you my little sister's family would be able to thrive anywhere. For the past few years in this apocalyptic world, we've been fleeing everywhere. What a life it's been like! This time, we've got to curry favor with my little sister's family!"
Cousin Zhong was originally feeling sorry for his torn pants, but when he heard his parents' words, he nodded hurriedly: "Dad, Mom, you are right. Since my aunt's family is here, we have hope for the future!" His wife also agreed, with a gleam in her eyes.
As the family of five chatted with each other, they felt more and more hopeful about the future. Their tired bodies became refreshed, and the fatigue and frustration just now disappeared.
When the children saw the adults happy, they also clapped and cheered, as if they had seen a bright future.
The family decided to eat and drink enough to take care of themselves first, and then go find their aunt's family as soon as they passed the inspection and entered the base. They had completely forgotten how they had treated Zhou Shuwan's family in the past.
In the base, Zhong Tiyun had no idea that her uncle's family had set their sights on her.
Zhou Shuwan hid in the shadows and saw Uncle Zhong and his family making a scene at the base gate. They then pulled Zhang Jia aside and talked about all sorts of things before turning around and leaving. When Zhang Jia came in, he approached him to inquire about Uncle Zhong's situation.
