"Look over there, there's such a big fire. Where is the fire?"
"I don't know. I saw many police officers passing by. 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 smoke column on the horizon. No one knew what happened.
We have to put out the fire, but starting to put out the fire means that the surrounding public forces will be attracted to it. The number of police officers maintaining order at the distribution point has been visibly reduced. Especially after the two vehicles full of people drove away, the crowd was slightly different. commotion.
A person in charge of this point looked at the citizens who were gathering more and more worriedly. He could not control the number of people. If this continues, he might not be able to control the situation in front of him.
Zhou Jinru lowered his hat. When he ran here, he was worried that there were pursuers behind him, so he quickly blended into the crowd.
"A vicious cycle has begun. Failure to put out the fire will cause a lot of panic. Putting out the fire will distract the originally small strength. Bigger problems are still to come. This chaos can get bigger. Kelsey, you understand what I am saying now What do you want to do?”
The crowd moved forward slowly, and the exhausted people watched helplessly as one cart after another of grain was taken away. Grain was being delivered continuously from the warehouse at the back, as if there was endless grain hidden inside.
"Oh my god, how much food have they been hoarding?"
"who knows."
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves, and a figure as red as flames galloped over.
Zhou Jinru hid in the crowd and took a peek. He saw a woman with long orange-red hair riding on horseback, holding a spear in her hand. Her eyes kept scanning the crowd, as if she was looking for something.
No way, are you here to hunt me down?
Zhou Jinru was taken aback and lowered his head quickly. He knew from the first glance that this woman was not easy to mess with.
After a few minutes, the red female knight rode away, and the terrifying aura gradually dissipated.
Someone behind Zhou Jinru asked: "Who is that?"
Another person exclaimed: "This is Dragon Cavalry General Sylvia, you don't even know her?"
"Oh my God, she is the famous Dragon Rider?! This is the first time I have seen her, she is so young and beautiful!"
Zhou Jinru looked confused. He knew that there was more than one Dragon Cavalry General in Victoria, but the one who was chasing him turned out to be a Dragon Cavalry General. He didn't know whether it was an honor or misfortune.
Fortunately no one knew who attacked the armory.
Time continued to pass, and an hour later, Zhou Jinru received a bag of flour, which weighed about two kilograms, enough for a family of three to survive for a day.
No wonder citizens who are short of food have to queue up repeatedly despite the wind and snow, because the Londinium people do not have the habit of hoarding food. This crisis has made them aware of the 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 up to him. His clothes were soaked, his hands were shaking, and he spoke with difficulty: "Sir..."
"Do you need help?"
The old man found it difficult to speak, but he still begged in a very low voice: "Sir, I am willing to pay, can you sell me the flour?"
Zhou Jinru glanced at the people who were still queuing behind him. His actions prompted the old man to continue explaining: "I am old and have no strength to continue queuing. I am willing to pay twice the price to buy flour. Please, my family There are kids waiting for food, please.”
"Okay, I can wait in line again." Zhou Jinru said to himself, handed the flour bag over, and held a few gold pounds. Normally this food is not worth so much money, but now the situation is special, and some people are willing Pay money.
"Thank you, thank you, you are such a good person, thank you!"
The old man thanked him repeatedly and hugged the flour bag, as if he had found a treasure. He was afraid that Zhou Jinru would regret it and left quickly.
Zhou Jinru stuffed the gold pound into his pocket with a complicated expression, turned around and continued to line up. A considerable number of people queuing up to receive food here used this method to make money.
Not long after, a group of people came from nowhere. It was obviously an organized action. They pushed the team away, waved their weapons to intimidate civilians, and rushed directly to a carriage full of food.
"What do you do?!"
The police officers maintaining order immediately discovered this group of people, drew out their batons, and loudly rebuked them and ordered them to leave.
"Sir, we just want to borrow some food. Everyone is hungry."
The police officer frowned and said warily: "Go to the back and line up! There is still a lot of food, everyone has a share!"
His rebuke had no positive effect, but instead someone surrounded him from the side.
"superior!"
Someone yelled, and the gang members swarmed forward, instantly knocking down the police officer at the front. More people jumped over the fallen police officer and rushed to the warehouse behind.
The nearby citizens were shocked by this scene. No one expected such a thing to happen in Londinium.
But they soon realized the fact that there was food right in front of them.
A gentleman wearing a top hat said loudly:
"Everyone, listen to me, we must maintain the most basic order, decency, our decency..."
However, no one listened to him, and some even pushed him away roughly and rushed towards the carriages piled with flour. Countless hands reached out, and a few people even grabbed a bag of flour, and threw the torn bag into the snow. Trampled by those who came after.
The gentleman's hat was squeezed off, his face was pale, and he shouted nervously: "There is no decency left! There is no decency left at all. Ladies and gentlemen, look at you, there is no decency left at all." Got it!"
He was quickly pushed to the ground.
Zhou Jinru looked at the chaotic crowd. He did nothing, did not use emotions to guide him, and did not do anything deliberately. After a gang attacked the order of the scene, everything collapsed.
He stood alone in the chaotic crowd. Some people ran to the warehouse, while others left with grains in their arms. Heavy snow fell from the sky, and there were shouts and shouts everywhere.
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 blended into the crowd and ran forward. As he approached the warehouse, he saw an unkempt man running out with a large bag of flour. He was overjoyed.
The next second, joy froze on his face, and a wave of air rushed from behind, lifting the man away. The surrounding snow was scattered in all directions, the roof of the granary was blown away by the explosion, fire shot into the sky, and the walls were blown away. Crush.
The air wave blew on Zhou Jinru's body, and he fell backwards. He struggled to get up, stumbled to the side of the man who was thrown away, and said in horror: "Brother, how are you?!"
