Chapter 25: Sudden chaos
Food is the first human need at all times.
But if you want to survive, you need food, and the synthetic energy paste is the only food that the citizens of Hope City can obtain in large quantities and stably.
The most important commodity that a shelter produces is...... Synthetic energy paste.
In order to survive, the refugees returned to Sun Dingze by buying food.
The pricing power of the synthetic energy paste was set by Sun Dingze.
In this cycle, they almost never qualify to live in a shelter.
However, "almost impossible" and "completely impossible" are another case β the weaker side will not give up any hope, so as long as they can see hope, they will not riot easily.
But the terrible thing is that every refugee wants to enter the Yanhuang shelter, the carrying capacity of the shelter is limited, if it is open to accept refugees, the shelter will inevitably collapse, and not accepting refugees at all will also cause riots, and now there are restrictions on accepting refugees, this outcome can be avoided, and the enthusiasm of refugees can be fully mobilized...... Sun Dingze used such cruel means to maintain a fragile order!
Song Ming silently glanced at the indignant Caroline, in fact, he felt that Sun Dingze's means were the best choice in the current situation, compared to Sun Dingze, the naΓ―ve Caroline was completely unsuitable to be a ruler, and if she handed over the shelter to her, she was afraid that she would ruin all of this - she wanted to save everyone, but now there is no such condition at all.
"Hurry up and die to this scum!"
Caroline cursed in a low voice, and as soon as her words fell, a piercing gunshot suddenly sounded in the night sky, and Sun Dingze, who was giving a speech in front of him, suddenly exploded with a pool of blood, and fell on his back on the stage.
The podium was instantly chaotic, and the high-level officials of the shelter immediately gathered around, dragged Sun Dingze and ran back.
"Someone assassinated the mayor!"
"Guards! Immediately block the surrounding streets! β
"Lock on to the target's location!"
Song Ming looked at Caroline with a stunned expression.
Caroline was also stunned: "I didn't do it!" β
"Who believes?"
The two of them looked at each other, suddenly exclaimed, turned around and ran!
Now it's not to find out who did it, if you are caught by the city garrison, it's a yellow mud crotch, it's not and it's!
The two of them don't want to carry the black pot inexplicably!
The sudden gunfire also frightened the large number of refugees who had gathered here, and although the city garrison ordered everyone to stay where they were, who would really obey in this situation? The only thing that will happen if you stay where you are is to be trampled into meat sauce by the chaotic crowd!
The black crowd rushed in all directions, crying, screaming, roaring, screaming, screaming and screaming one after another, I don't know how many people were trampled under the feet of others in the process of escaping, there were so many people gathered here that when they began to scatter and flee, the chaotic flow of people even washed Song Ming and Caroline apart.
"Damn!"
Song Ming scolded secretly, it was obvious that these people couldn't eat enough all year round, and they were all very weak, but the power that erupted at this time was so amazing!
At this time, he suddenly saw a petite girl swaying left and right in the chaotic crowd, looking like she was about to fall!
Song Ming hesitated for a moment, Caroline's previous words were still echoing in his mind, but his father's education was also deeply engraved in his bones......
Save?
Don't save?
Do you need to talk about that!?
He may not be able to save everyone, but if he can't save anyone who can, what's the difference between him and those cold-blooded butchers!?
γAstuteγActivation!
Song Ming instantly entered a state of super sense, and the speed of the violent flow of people immediately slowed down, he rushed to the girl's side through the gap in the flow of people, and then picked her up and rushed out along the violent flow of people!
In the chaos, several more gunshots rang out, and the dense crowd became even more restless, and hundreds of stampedes occurred in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Song Ming had already shuttled out of the most chaotic area.
Caroline's voice sounded in her head: "Where are you!?" Get out of the square area, they've already started a lockdown! γ
[I've come out, where are you?] γ
[I'll share the location with you, be careful!] γ
After Caroline finished speaking, Song Ming had already received the location information she shared.
After Song Ming quickly got out of the blockade, he looked at the little girl in his arms, she had a very special long pink hair, she should also be a genetically adjusted new human, her hair and clothes on her body were very clean, her face was ruddy, she should belong to a better family.
The little girl looked at Song Ming with wide eyes, and then said crisply, "Are you going to kidnap me?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The world has been twisted!
Song Mingqiang resisted the urge to get to the bottom of it, and he asked in a low voice, "Can you find your own home?" β
The little girl nodded in surprise: "You're going to let me go?" β
Song Ming put down the little girl in his arms, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out a few pieces of bread and bacon from his backpack and stuffed them into her arms, urging: "Hurry up and go home and hide, it's dangerous outside." β
He knew that it would probably hurt her, but he didn't know the little girl, and it was impossible for him to take her with him.
"It's ...... Whole food!? β
The little girl looked at the food in her arms in great surprise, and just wanted to ask, but found that Song Ming had already left.
"What does it smell like!?"
Song Ming left with his front feet, and some people smelled the aroma of food on his back feet, those breads and bacon were hot, these people ate synthetic food all year round, and their noses were very sensitive to strange smells.
A refugee stared at the little girl with green eyes: "A lonely girl! β
Another refugee licked her lips: "I can smell food in her arms......"
The third person looked into the distance: "What should I do?" The city garrison is coming......"
"Take her away first!"
After the three dirty refugees made their decision, they immediately surrounded the little girl: "Will you go with us obediently, or will you let us do it?" β
The little girl looked up and asked innocently, "Do I look like a bully?" β
"Haha...... You're not a good bully, you're just-cuff-cough-cough......"
A cold light flashed, and the refugee who was laughing wildly suddenly clutched his neck, and hot blood continued to pour out of his fingers.
"Cuong!? - Hmm!! β
The other also collapsed clutching his neck.
The remaining refugee took a closer look at the little girl's dress, and a rumor from Hope City suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly the fear made him wet his pants, and he knelt on the ground with a poof: "Are youβ"
With a "poof", the third body fell into the shadows of the street corner.
"Don't even ask my name...... Good people......"
The little girl who was muttering to herself looked at the direction Song Ming left, slowly put away the blade hidden in her sleeve, and suddenly showed a sweet smile: "But thanks to him, there is something delicious tonight." β
β¦β¦
After Song Ming rushed to Caroline's shared coordinates, he didn't see her.
[I've arrived.] γ
[I saw it.] γ
As soon as Caroline finished speaking, the trash can beside Song Ming suddenly moved sideways, and then Caroline got out of the hole in the back.
Song Ming was stunned, this is the same as fighting guerrilla warfare!
"How many of these hideouts have you made in Hope City?"
"There's never too many hideouts, but I'd rather never use them."
After Caroline restored everything to its original state, she continued with Song Ming, and they avoided the area of the shelter square that had been sealed off.
Caroline frowned as she hurried and said, "The news of someone assassinating Sun Dingze has spread on the public network of Hope City. β
Song Ming doesn't know what the situation is now, he doesn't have a legal identity yet, so he can't access the public network yet, hearing Caroline say this, he frowned: "In addition to your free army, is there anyone else here who wants him to die?" β
Although Caroline wanted Sun Dingze to die immediately, Song Ming felt that she should know very well that Sun Dingze could not die, and if he died, Hope City would be under martial law, and then the most unlucky person would be the Free Army.
So it's easy to deduce a result from the assassination just now β it's likely that another force wants the Free Army to take the blame.
"There are many people who want him to die, and there will never be a shortage of me."
Caroline shook her head and said, "And we are not rebels, we will not really assassinate Sun Dingze, we just want to seek a happier life for the refugees in Hope City through resistance activities." β
In the current environment, you are anti-government by making such demands!
"It's here!"
Caroline stopped, and they ran around for a long time for safety, but in fact the destination was not very far from the square.
In front of them was a very ordinary-looking building, with a red cross sign hanging on the door, and the lights inside seemed to be in poor contact, constantly flickering, and matched with the dark and cold environment around them, there was a strange atmosphere.
"Hospital?"
Song Ming was stunned: "I thought that after the treatment needle, the hospital would be useless." β
"It's not so much a hospital as a special clinic, after all, not everyone can use treatment needles."
Caroline stood next to the closed door and shouted into the communicator at the door, "Evan, open the door, it's me, Caroline." β
After the door opened, Caroline pulled Song Ming into the clinic, and then the door was locked again.
"Caroline," a man said from inside the dark room, his voice crisp with surprise, "is this your new member?" β
Caroline secretly stopped Song Ming: [Don't refuse, Evan doesn't accept strangers' work. γ
Song Ming just swallowed his words, and then he was stunned.
"Is that you?"
What appeared in front of Song Ming was the pink-haired little girl he had just saved.
The little girl smiled sweetly: "Hello, kind big brother, we meet again." β
