The place where the fire broke out was not very far from Li Jing and them, so they could clearly see and hear the movement from the fire scene, some people were desperately struggling in the fire, some were shouting and running away, some people wanted to save people but found themselves helpless, and some people gathered around to watch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But the most striking thing is the middle-aged man who was pressed by several officers and soldiers on the edge of the fire but still yelled, and his shouting remarks were that the end of the world is coming, and the world is about to be destroyed.

The arson was not just one person, there was another middle-aged man, these two people usually knew each other, both from the same community, one lost a loved one in the earthquake and the other has been living a rather unsatisfactory life. After these two people got together, they were both affected by the apocalyptic rhetoric, and then they had the idea of suicide. However, although they didn't want to live anymore, they didn't want to end their lives in obscurity, and after discussing them in private, they decided to do something earth-shattering before they died.

Their so-called earth-shattering event is to drag more people to die with them. And the timing chosen by the two is also very exquisite, the middle of the night is the time when people sleep most soundly, and the power of arson at this time is naturally the greatest.

Due to the size of the resettlement area, coupled with the large population, the resettlement houses and simple tents were relatively densely packed, and the weather was dry in summer, and these things were extremely flammable, so it was very difficult to extinguish the fire after the fire spread rapidly.

Only one of the two people who set the fire was eventually caught, and the other died in the fire. However, at this time, it was useless to catch the suspect of arson, and the two people lit a total of three fire points while everyone was not paying attention, and when the firefighters extinguished the first fire point, the other two fire points had spread rapidly and were connected together, and soon the fire in the resettlement area was completely out of control. At this time, it is very difficult to extinguish the fire.

There was no way, the officers and soldiers who arrived later could only evacuate the crowd as soon as possible, and then cleared all flammable things to form a separation zone at a distance of 100 meters from the periphery of the fire zone, which slowly controlled the spread of the fire, and then with the efforts of a large number of firefighters who rushed to the area, the fire in the resettlement area was finally extinguished.

But even though the fire has been extinguished, the damage, loss, and impact it has caused have been enormous. According to statistics, the fire caused more than 3,000 resettlement houses or simple tents to catch fire, nearly 20,000 people were directly affected, more than 500 people were burned and injured in the fire, and the property damage was as high as tens of millions.

And Li Jing and they were also unlucky to be implicated this time, although everyone was not in danger of life and property loss, but the resettlement house they lived in before was directly burned to ashes, and after the evacuation, they were assigned a new residence, but it became a simple tent, and the surrounding environment was much worse than before. However, this time, Li Jing was helpless and could only accept the reality helplessly.

After the fire, everyone thought that peace would come, but in fact, everyone was wrong, and no one expected that last night's fire was just the beginning of chaos. After dawn, there was chaos in the resettlement area again, this time not because someone set the fire, but because of the clash of the group. The cause of the conflict is the distribution of food.

Although the capital of the country gathers the most supplies, it still exceeds the government's ability to supply tens of millions of refugees at the same time. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the government has urgently dispatched supplies from the surrounding area to supply these refugees, but even then it can barely maintain the basic livelihood of tens of millions of people.

And food has always been the most scarce supply in the past few days, one person has to eat three meals a day with one mouth, and the daily food consumption of 10 million people is an astronomical amount. In the first two days, the government was barely able to feed most of the refugees, but on the third day, as the food reserves were exhausted, and the food collected from the surrounding areas was far from enough, so the food for all the refugees was cut in half from the morning. Originally, everyone didn't have enough to eat before, but now the food has been reduced by half, so where is the enough? So immediately after the reduction in the food supply, a new contradiction arose.

Unable to eat, everyone's hungry eyes turned green like wolves, and driven by hunger and survival instincts, many people began to slowly put aside their moral scruples and do things that bullied the weak. To put it simply, it means that some people rely on their strength to steal other people's food and eat it themselves.

This kind of thing is indispensable at any time, but this time it happened at a different time and not in a place. In order to find a sense of security, people from the same place, the same community or the same purpose quickly get together, and these people usually support each other, help each other, and deal with the bullying of outsiders.

Although quite a number of officers and men have been maintaining order, it is still difficult for them to manage such a large resettlement area. And in private, all kinds of bullying are frequent. In fact, there are not a few people who have been robbed of food, but most of them have chosen to endure grievances, but there are also a small number of people who have chosen to fight back. And those who can't fight back and can't beat each other will naturally have to go back and call for helpers, so that more and more people on both sides will call, and the conflict will become bigger and bigger, until the whole situation is completely out of control.

Such large-scale fights can be quickly suppressed every time the officers and soldiers arrive, but often the conflict here has just been suppressed, and it is not long before a new conflict breaks out in another place. And the more conflicts there are, the more impatient the people in the resettlement areas become, the more likely they are to have new conflicts, and the more serious the consequences.

Soon, vicious cases such as robbery, rape, and murder began to appear in the resettlement area, where everyone's legal awareness was reduced to a minimum, and many people were easily affected by the impatience and did things that were dominated by anger.

In just one day, there were no less than five large-scale armed fights in the resettlement area where Li Jing and his family lived, and there were hundreds of other vicious cases. This is a far cry from the calm that prevailed in the entire resettlement area for the first two days.

PS: I'm sorry that I have been interrupted for two days due to the impact of the driver's license test, and I apologize to everyone here. From today, the normal update will resume, and the two that are missing will also find a way to make up for it.
