Chapter 13: The Floating Heart of People

When the four of them hurried to the supermarket, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Everyone is desperately crowding into the supermarket, and even the workers in the industrial area who are working very close to the business district are rushing to grab the goods.

There was no order at all, people fought to squeeze into the supermarket, the mechanical police who maintained law and order were pushed aside, and the child in the woman's arms cried out in fright.

The supermarket was even more chaotic, and through the transparent glass, Mu Chen could clearly see that a strong man had ruthlessly pushed an old man to the ground for a bag of rice.

The automatic payment machines used for payment were destroyed by brute force by crazy people, and the people who had bought food in the supermarket before the news broadcast hid in the corners and shivered.

The migrants at Camp 2 were completely devastated by the news, everyone knew the current situation, the danger lurking outside the camp, and wanting to go out to hunt for food was tantamount to pulling teeth from the mouth of a tiger. And the supplies in the camp are simply not enough for the daily needs of all the residents.

First of all, the biggest problem is food, many families are similar to the situation of Mu Chen's family, if it is not difficult to survive on the home planet, no one would want to leave their homeland and come to live on this damn Titan star.

These people living at the bottom know deeply the horror of food shortages.

The second is the distrust of the federal government, these immigrants themselves were coaxed by the federal government, and almost all the promises received by the immigrants were discounted, either in terms of welfare shortages, or the distribution of materials was reduced by a notch.

The news said that the transport ship would arrive next month, and these people didn't believe it at all.

What if the supplies don't arrive next month? What if there is no more?

Third, panic is contagious, and it is no joke for three people to become tigers, and panicked crowds have no rationality at all.

How many disaster movies have been acted, when a crisis comes, the weakness of human nature will be highlighted, and without moral constraints, human beings can do everything.

No, people who can't squeeze into the supermarket are angrily plundering nearby stores, whether they are useful or not, they are real when they grab their hands first.

Mu Chen witnessed a big man with five big and three thick men, rushing into a women's clothing store, running away with a lot of women's underwear, Mu Chen bet that he definitely didn't take it home to wear.

"What should I do?" Everyone habitually looked at Mu Chen, and at this time, Mu Chen, who had always been calm and reliable, was undoubtedly the backbone of everyone.

Mu Chen's mind was racing, and he immediately had an idea, "Pharmacy, no matter what kind of medicine, you can buy as much as you want." ”

If there is a shortage of resources, in addition to food and weapons, the most important supplies must be all kinds of medicines, and the chaos will inevitably lead to injuries, whether they get the medicine just in case or trade it with those who need it, it is very valuable.

The four of them immediately drove to a nearby pharmacy, but fortunately, there were not many people rushing to buy here, and the store manager had not yet reacted to raising the price of medicines.

The four of Muchen took out all the money they had on their bodies and swept the pharmacy, and all kinds of special drugs were moved to the car in boxes without reading the instructions.

The medicine for treating trauma and the gauze for bandaging the wound are even more important, and Mu Chen also quickly smoothed two bottles of anesthetic, which will not be sold to you by pharmacies without a prescription.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper was so busy that he didn't notice it at all.

Seeing that there were more people in the pharmacy, it wouldn't be long before there would be a brawl here like the previous supermarket, for everyone's safety, Mu Chen decided to let everyone leave here early.

Taking advantage of the store manager's inattention, Mu Chen also took a first-aid kit, which is a good life-saving thing.

Driving away from the rioting crowd, the four of them drove to Hou Ying's repair shop, which was relatively remote and relatively safe.

In the car, everyone was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and borrowed Richard's light brain to contact their respective families.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and his father Mushan also used his colleague's relationship to get more than a dozen bags of rice and some vegetables, and discussed that he would go home after the riot subsided, and his mother also told Muchen to take care of himself and his sister.

The car stopped in the repair shop of Hou Ying's house, and Uncle Hou hurriedly closed the door.

"Thank goodness you're okay." Watching the four of them get out of the car with all beards and tails, Uncle Hou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, you don't know, thanks to Mu Chen's quick response, we also went to buy a cart of medicines and came back." Hou Ying proudly opened the car door to show his father.

"Hey, you're emptying the pharmacy, aren't you?" Uncle Hou was stunned by the full load of various medicines in the car.

"Almost, by the way, I also gave you a box of special medicine for asthma, how is it, witty?" Hou Ying said with a smile.

"It's not thanks to Mu Chen, how can you kid have such a brain?" Although Uncle Hou's heart is warm, he is still unforgiving.

"Uncle Hou, you've won the award," Mu Chen said modestly, "but it's a bit chaotic outside now, maybe a few of us have to bother you for a few days." ”

"Why are you saying that kind words, even if you live, the food here is enough for everyone to last for a while."

"Hehe, boss, righteousness, much more generous than Hou Ying." Richard also said with a smile.

Everyone sorted out the medicines in the car, put them in different categories, and roughly assigned the ownership of some commonly used drugs.

The Mu Chen siblings only took the medicine kit and some medicines they used, and left the rest for Hou Ying and Richard, after all, these medicines can be exchanged for a lot of food in the future.

The current food reserves of the Muchen family should be relatively abundant, but not necessarily Richard and the Hou Ying family.

Both of their families are single-parent families, Hou Ying's mother died very early, Uncle Hou is a man after all, and he doesn't have so much sense of crisis, although the repair shop makes a lot of money, but the current situation, prices are skyrocketing, and I am afraid that Star Coins will not be able to buy too many things.

Richard's family only has a mother who works as a manager in the mine, and his father is no longer there, and Richard usually eats outside.

It is estimated that the family can starve rats to death, and these medicines are especially important to him.

Don't look at Richard's smile now, in fact, he is panicked, just like Mu Chen guessed, he and his mother have always eaten in restaurants outside, and there is not a single vegetable leaf in the refrigerator at home except for drinks and beer.

They all say that they don't panic when they have food at home, but the problem is that there is really no food.

I can still have a full meal at Hou Ying's house with a cheeky face, but what my mother is hiding at home will have to worry about what to eat tonight.

You can't say, "Uncle Hou, my mother doesn't have anything to eat, why don't you add another pair of chopsticks?" "Please, I want a face too.

I had to look at Mu Chen for help, this guy has a good brain, there will definitely be a way.

Richard was inexplicably full of confidence in Mu Chen.
