Chapter 183: Chapter 182 The Food Crisis Erupts (2) [Add two more for a Recomndation Ticket] Chapter 183: Chapter 182 The Food Crisis Erupts (2) [Add two more for a Recomndation Ticket] Luo Gang pondered over it and also felt that there was logic in what Su Shu said, so the Luo Family dropped the idea.
Seeing this, Su Shu let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that there was no chance to return ho, just not now.
She had thought that the situation like that of the family opposite was an isolated case, but unexpectedly, her one night’s sleep was disrupted by waves of commotion at the shelter, with many people demanding to leave, leading to frequent conflicts with the governnt workers and military personnel.
Governnt personnel explained hundreds of tis that there was still no danger alert issued for the disaster-struck areas and urged everyone to stay calm at the shelter, waiting for ssages from their superiors.
But these well-intentioned words were interpreted by many as the governnt dragging its feet, with nurous voices asking, “What’s the aning of not letting us go ho when we want to?”
From a distance, Su Shu could see Tang Zelin standing in front of rows of soldiers, his face dark with anger.
Behind him stood a row of more than a dozen Special Combat Soldiers, fully ard and wearing sunglasses.
Surprised, Su Shu wondered, another group of soldiers?
To deal with civilians, you wouldn’t need Special Combat Soldiers, right?
Her question was soon answered.
She saw the leading officer among the group of Special Combat Soldiers whisper a few words to Tang Zelin, who nodded, pointed towards the headquarters in the southeast, and with a salute, the officer turned to lead his troops away.
Whereas the soldiers under Tang Zelin’s command stood firm like pines, solemn-faced, holding their ground.
When the governnt was managing, the military only had the responsibility to protect; only when the situation got out of the governnt’s control would they have the authority to deploy force.
These were the current rules of joint managent at the shelter.
Tang Zelin continued to watch the crowd arguing in front of the governnt managent office.
Because the military personnel around were maintaining order, many just complained more than usual, but did not take excessive actions. Su Shu thought that the staff wouldn’t hold out for long.
Sure enough, when Su Shu returned to her tent for a brief nap and woke up, she found many people packing their bags, big and small, ready to take ho.
There was a rule at the shelter that if people decided not to stay any longer, the communal items must be left behind for others in need.
But while the rules stated this, not everyone followed them accordingly.
So people, following regulations, left what should be left and took what they should; but others wouldn’t have it, trying every which way to take ho the items distributed by the governnt. So even wanted to take the military blankets contributed by the military personnel.
The staff mbers processing the paperwork were so angry that they grabbed gaphones and raised their voices to educate the crowd.
The soldiers themselves were covering with military coats, giving up their blankets for ergencies. Not receiving any thanks and seeing attempts to take military supplies was sothing the staff had not often seen; they yelled from noon until afternoon, so upset they couldn’t even eat.
When Su Shu heard Li Xiaoxia ntion this, she didn’t react much.
Such matters were but the tip of the iceberg in life after the Apocalypse.
And what about those who looted and killed?
She couldn’t judge; in extre environnts, what people could beco, even she didn’t know.
She only knew that she would do everything in her power not to beco like that.
The shelter suddenly beca much emptier.
This commotion led to nearly one-fifth leaving almost all at once.
Although it was just a fifth, the number of people was still considerable. These people dispersed outside were a hidden concern for the governnt, yet without any forceful orders from the higher-ups, the workers had no reason to stop them.
