Chapter 172: Causing Trouble
Sima Hao lowered his voice and said to his wife, "Don't worry. Since the government said they would provide relief supplies to everyone, they will prepare sufficient supplies in advance. We should trust the government. There will be enough supplies for everyone."
Ruan Ying trusted her husband's words and nodded, but she was still a little worried, so she stretched her neck to look at the front from time to time.
Unlike the anxious Sima Hao and his wife, Yao Ran was very calm. She looked around at the crowds and soldiers. Looking at the soldiers' chapped pale lips and frozen eyebrows, she frowned slightly and then glanced at Long Yu.
Yao Ran stared at Long Yu for a long time and thought, 'Was he also like these soldiers in his previous life? How did he feel when he risked his life to protect his people, only to be killed by his own people?'
Sensing her gaze, Long Yu lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "No matter what time it is, the soldiers are the ones who suffer the most."
Long Yu knew that Yao Ran's personality had changed a lot after her rebirth. Unlike her kind and warm personality in her previous life, in this life, she is like a cold sword, ready to kill anyone who comes close. However, he knew that her true self was still there, waiting for someone to bring her out of the darkness.
After listening to her words, Long Yu made a bold guess and asked, "Do you feel sorry for me because of my past?"
Yao Ran was silent for a moment and nodded. Seeing this, Long Yu felt warm in his heart and held her hand tightly.
He smiled and gently said, "Thank you, Ran Ran."
Yao Ran didn't know why he thanked her, so she just nodded and stopped talking. Behind them, their friends looked at what they were doing with knowing eyes. If they had popcorn now, that would be perfect!
When queuing, the further they go, the more chaotic the scene becomes. If no soldiers were guarding, this area would have been in chaos, and the starving people would have taken away the food forcefully.
Unlike they had speculated two days ago, Lu Hong and others did not have the opportunity to obtain the relief supplies themselves because it was not them but the soldiers who distributed them.
Not far from them, Yao Ran saw several groups of people behave suspiciously among the crowd. Soon, a shrill scream came from the front.
"Ah! Someone stole my food! Help! Please help me catch the thief!"
The woman cried for help for a long time, but no one paid attention to her plea. When the soldiers finally had time to see what had happened, the thief was long gone. Although the soldiers wanted to help, they didn't have the manpower to catch the thieves.
Because of this, thieves and robbers become braver. Some even dared to snatch supplies directly in front of the soldiers.
However, only those who rob people secretly can escape unscathed. As for those who dared to rob openly, the soldiers naturally would not let them go and killed them on the spot.
The death of the robber frightened the crowd and the gangsters, who immediately stopped what they wanted to do and ran away. After that incident, everything calmed down, and the distribution of supplies became faster.
Everyone knows the significance of a soldier shooting to kill a robber. It's clear that they had permission and orders from above. Those sitting on top should have known what was going on outside, so they gave the soldiers the power to kill anyone who dared to cause trouble.
While Yao Ran was watching what happened, a woman suddenly ran up to the soldier who killed the robber and pointed at her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Yao Ran is an ability user, and her five senses are sharper than ordinary people's. As long as she concentrates, she can eavesdrop on someone's conversation from thirty meters away.
The woman who ran towards the soldier pointed at Yao Ran and said, "Sir, do you see that woman?"
Hearing this, the soldier looked in the direction the woman was pointing. When he saw seven people wearing Arctic clothing waiting in the line, the soldier remembered who they were.
After Yao Ran gave the masks and medicine to him and his two comrades, the soldier distributed the medicine to other comrades in the same team, preventing some people from losing their hands because of frostbite.
The soldier looked away from Yao Ran, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
When the woman heard the soldier's question, her eyes lit up, and she quickly explained, "That woman and her team are evil people living on the 20th floor of Building 3 of Ling Yuan apartment complex. She and her friends killed my husband and many innocent people. They also had guns!"
As she spoke, the woman's voice became excited as she thought of the soldiers punishing Yao Ran and her friends.
"Sir, you don't know how many people have been robbed of supplies with their guns! They have a lot of supplies at home, but they still come to queue up with us to receive relief food." "They have killed countless people and are not worthy of government relief supplies. You arrest them first, then go to the Ling Yuan apartment complex, confiscate their guns, and lock them in a small, dark room for the rest of their lives!"
After hearing this, the residents of the Ling Yuan apartment complex who were queuing up agreed with the woman's statement.
A young man snorted and said, "Why should they be locked in a small dark room? Such cruel and ruthless people who ignore the lives of other people should be shot on the spot!"
The soldier just listened to them and asked coldly, "If we kill them, then the supplies they worked hard to get will all be yours? They are also citizens of this country. Why can they receive relief supplies?"
