Chapter 38. Walk in the snow 4

"Look over there, it's a big fire, where is it on fire?"

"I don't know, I saw a lot of police officers passing, maybe the situation is really serious."

The citizens who were still at the food distribution point braved the cold wind and pointed at the black pillar of smoke in the sky, and no one knew what was happening.

It is impossible not to put out the fire, but starting to put out the fire means that the surrounding public forces will be attracted to it, and the number of police officers maintaining order at the distribution point is visibly reduced, especially after the two vehicles full of people drove away, and the crowd was faintly commotion.

One of the people in charge of this point looked worriedly at the more and more citizens who were gathering, he couldn't control the number of people, and if he continued like this, he might not be able to control the situation in front of him.

Zhou Jinru lowered his top hat, and when he ran here, he was worried that there were pursuers behind him, so he hurriedly blended into the crowd.

"The vicious circle has begun, if you don't put out the fire, it will cause a lot of panic, and if you put out the fire, you have to disperse the already small forces, and the bigger problem is still to come, and this chaos can be even bigger, Kelsey, do you understand what I want to do now?"

The crowd moved forward slowly, and the exhausted people watched as truckloads of grain were taken away, and a steady stream of grain was being transported in the warehouses at the back, as if there was an endless supply of grain hidden inside.

"Oh my God, how much food are they hoarding?"

"Who knows."

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and a fiery figure like a flame galloped in.

Zhou Jinru hid in the crowd and peeked secretly, a woman with long orange hair was riding on horseback, holding a spear in her hand, and her eyes kept sweeping around the crowd, as if she was looking for something.

No, are you here to hunt me down?

Zhou Jinru was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head, this woman knew that it was not easy to mess with at a glance.

After a few minutes, the red female knight rode away, and the terrifying momentum gradually dissipated.

Someone behind Zhou Jinru asked, "Who is that?" ”

Another exclaimed, "This is the dragoon Sylvia, you don't even know about her?" ”

"Oh my God, she's the famous Dragoon?! It's the first time I've seen her, so young and so beautiful! ”

Zhou Jinru looked dazed, he knew that there was more than one dragoon in Victoria, but it was a dragoon who was chasing him, and he didn't know if it was an honor or bad luck.

Thankfully, no one knows who attacked the armory.

Time went on, and an hour later, Zhou Jinru received a bag of flour, which weighed about two catties, enough for a family of three to barely last a day.

It is no wonder that citizens who are short of food have to queue up repeatedly in the wind and snow, because the people of Lentinium are not in the habit of hoarding food, and this crisis has made them realize that they need to prepare for the next few days, and God knows when they will return to normal.

Zhou Jinru walked two steps with a bag of flour, and an old man in formal clothes walked in front of him, his clothes were soaked, his hands trembled, and he said with difficulty: "Sir......"

"How can you help you?"

The old man felt embarrassed, but he still pleaded in a very low voice: "Sir, I am willing to pay, can you sell me the flour?" ”

Zhou Jinru glanced at the crowd behind him who was still in a long line, and his actions made the old man continue to explain: "I'm old and don't have the strength to continue queuing, I'm willing to pay twice the price to buy flour, please, I still have children waiting to eat at home, please." ”

"Okay, I can queue up again." Zhou Jinru said to himself, handed over the flour bag, and took a few gold pounds, usually this little food is not worth so much money, but now the situation is special, and some people are willing to pay.

"Thank you, thank you, you are such a nice person, thank you!"

The old man thanked him repeatedly, hugged the flour bag, and left quickly for fear that Zhou Jinru would regret it.

Zhou Jinru stuffed the gold pound into his pocket with a complicated expression, turned around and continued to line up, and a considerable number of people queuing up here to receive food used this way to make money.

It didn't take long for a group of people from nowhere, apparently organized, to push the procession, brandishing weapons in their hands to intimidate civilians, and running straight to a wagon full of food.

"What are you guys doing?!"

The police officers who maintained order immediately spotted the group, drew their batons, and shouted a reprimand to order them to leave.

"Sir, we just want to borrow a little food, everyone is hungry."

The police officer frowned and said vigilantly: "Go to the back and line up!" There's a lot of food, and it's all shared! ”

His rebuke did not have a positive effect, but someone surrounded him from the side.

"Up!"

I don't know who shouted, the gang members rushed up, knocking down the front police officer in an instant, and more people rushed past the fallen police officer and rushed to the warehouse in the rear.

The citizens of the neighborhood were stunned by this scene, and no one expected such a thing to happen in Lentinium.

But they soon realized the fact that food was at hand.

A gentleman in a top hat said loudly:

"Listen to me, we have to maintain the most basic order, decency, our decency ......"

However, no one listened to him, and some people violently pushed him away and rushed to the wagons full of flour, countless hands reached out, and even a few people grabbed a bag of flour, and threw the torn bag in the snow, which was trampled by the latecomers.

The gentleman's hat was squeezed off, his face was pale, and he cried out nervously: "There is no decency left! There is no decency at all, ladies and gentlemen, look at your appearance, there is no decency left! ”

He was quickly pushed to the ground.

Zhou Jinru looked at the chaotic crowd, he didn't do anything, he didn't use emotions to guide, and he didn't do anything deliberately, after a gang attacked the order of the scene, everything collapsed.

He stood alone in the chaotic crowd, some people rushed to the warehouse, some people left with food, goose feathers and snow fell from the sky, and everywhere there were shouts.

A flash of fire came out of the warehouse, and someone set a fire.

At this moment, Zhou Jinru suddenly discovered from his emotional perception that a very powerful emotional source was approaching.

Without saying a word, he ran forward into the crowd, and as he approached the warehouse, he saw an unkempt man running out with a large bag of flour, and his joy overflowed.

In the next second, joy froze on his face, and a wave of air rushed from behind, lifting the man away, scattering the snow around him, and the roof of the granary was blown up by the explosion, and the fire rose into the sky, and the walls were blown to pieces.

The air wave blew on Zhou Jinru's body, his body fell backwards, and he struggled to get up, stumbled to the man who was lifted away, and said in horror: "Brother, how are you?!" ”
