Chapter 151: Chapter 150: An Apocalyptic Life from Scratch (24)
They came not only to maintain order at the evacuation center but also for other purposes. The leadership didn’t go into detail, but Tang Zelin smartly guessed something.
He picked up his cap from the table and put it on, then yelled, “Guozi.”
“Present!”
Outside the door, whoosh, a lively young lad burst in, his military uniform crisp and exuding a vibrant energy.
“Group captain, are we going out?”
“Let’s go, take a look outside.”
“Yes, sir!”
Before he could leave the room, Qu Guo’an called out, “Take it easy when you deal with any issues, kid. These are all civilians here, don’t scare them!”
Tang Zelin laughed and said, “When have you ever seen me be unfriendly to the civilians?”
“Just reminding you, be careful out there.”
“Sure thing.”
Within three days of their arrival, the once noisy and tumultuous evacuation center was much less tense, from the inside out. The government staff often breathed a sigh of relief.
Emma, they could finally be manageable.
No longer did they have to shout through a megaphone for people to queue and number up, which no one heeded; the soldiers’ strong and powerful support gave everyone a lot of confidence.
On this side, after the initial influx of disaster-stricken civilians brought by various brother units filled the place, the subsequent easing of the disaster conditions led to an increased pressure on the sports stadium with people from all sides flocking in.
Dragging families and belongings in tow, they arrived in cars and the moment they got out, they tried to rush inside, claiming to be disaster victims seeking refuge here.
The staff needed some proof to determine their status, but instead were met with a verbal lashing from the other party.
Disaster victims are disaster victims; why differentiate their status? Are you looking down on people, treating us like we’re inferior?!
The staff explained kindly that under the current special circumstances, all resources were very tight, and they needed to prioritize resources for those in the most difficult and severely affected situations, handling issues based on urgency and importance.
But these reasons were outright rejected by the other party, and after going back and forth a few times, arguments ensued.
Dragging families all this way to seek refuge, only for the government to treat them with suspicion, didn’t make any sense, and such conflicts became more and more frequent.
Externally it was like this, and internally, there were complaints about some getting more, others less; why were there so few people in their tents while ours are overcrowded, to the point of suffocation?
The staff almost wished they could grow eight hands and eight mouths to deal with everything, as the tension at the evacuation center was far from ordinary.
After Tang Zelin and his men took control for three days, they directly suppressed the situation. The spacious sports stadium, inside and out, in every place, was taken over by the military. With their fast and orderly approach, those ordinary citizens, who had been uneasy amidst the disputes and conflicts, were finally able to get a good night’s sleep in such trying times.
Somehow, where the warriors stood guard, it just made people feel especially secure.
Su Shu only knew that the military personnel had arrived. Inside the badminton hall, when she heard the news and went back and forth to fetch food and water, she could feel that the situation inside the evacuation center was not as tense as before.
She even chatted with Li Xiaoxia beside her, saying, “It’s safer with the military people around.”
Li Xiaoxia replied, “Yeah, I heard from Luo Gang that those kinds of incidents have decreased in the last couple of days.”
Those kinds of incidents, what else could it be but the vile acts related to women?
Su Shu nodded in agreement.
She hadn’t expected that three days later, when she and Luo Gang were about to go out to buy some hot water, they would bump into that familiar figure.
The recognizable olive green.
What do you think?
