The environment of Shuitu City is not good. It is too far from Botu City and too close to the battlefield.
Near a relief meal distribution center, a woman wearing a gray robe and a mask covered her face struggled through various obstacles to the entrance of the sewer.
The messy illegal buildings and narrow and crowded alleys all show that this is an extremely poor slum.
"But at least, after the governor comes, we will no longer see children dying of starvation on the street." Huo Yunyou held the package in her hand tightly, "It's just this plague...sigh."
The life that had just seen hope has once again fallen into an abyss because of this plague.
She carefully looked around, and after confirming again and again that she was not being followed, she opened the sewer manhole cover and slowly climbed down.
The sewer was dark and damp, and the stench was overwhelming, but Huo Yunyou was very familiar with it. She turned to the left of a three-way intersection, walked forward for about ten meters, and came to the door of an abandoned maintenance room.
Dong dong dong...
The knocking on the door shook off a layer of rust, and several frightened and weak voices came from inside: "Is it Sister Huo back?"
Huo Yunyou lightly kicked the iron door, her voice impatient: "Don't wait, open the door for me quickly."
Squeak...
The door bolt made an unpleasant rusty sound.
In the room, an old chandelier swayed slightly, reflecting a dozen dirty faces.
There are old people, middle-aged people, and young people.
The only thing these different people have in common is the weakness in their eyes.
Unable to afford expensive genuine drugs, they can only hide in the smelly sewers, waiting for cheap generic drugs to be delivered to save their lives.
"Sister Huo...have you got the medicine this time?"
Huo Yunyou shook open the patched package, picked out several bottles of different medicines, and said angrily: "There is a war over the canal, and these generic medicines are getting harder and harder to get! Did you know that there was a pill yesterday? A bullet flew over my head?”
A boy who looked very young but had almost lost all his hair came up, his fingers trembling slightly: "Sister Huo, thank you, thank you."
Huo Yunyou took a step back, holding the medicine in her bag in her arms, and stretched out her calloused right hand: "Where's the money?"
Several people quickly brought over the iron basin behind them, which contained dozens of copper coins of different colors, sizes, new and old.
The money was obviously scraped together from here and there.
Huo Yunyou did a rough inventory, poured all the copper coins into the package, and threw the medicine to the dozen or so people.
"I'll give you a bottle of painkillers and antipyretics. There's been an epidemic in the city recently. Please wear a mask so that old illnesses don't get better and new ones develop... I can't carry that much medicine by myself."
After saying that, the woman turned around and left.
"Sister Huo, Sister Huo, wait a minute..." Behind him, an old man who was several years older than Huo Yunyou quickly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's cuffs.
"What's the matter?" Huo Yunyou glanced at the electronic watch with a cracked screen, "Say quickly, I have other things to do."
There was fear in the old man's voice: "Is the enforcement outside now really stricter than before? What should we do with the medicine in the future?"
Huo Yunyou was silent for a moment and smiled nonchalantly: "The governor is here, everyone's taxes have been reduced, and everyone has food to eat. Isn't that a good thing?"
"However, all smuggling has been investigated more strictly..."
"Then what can be done?" Huo Yunyou felt inexplicably agitated, "I have been smuggling! Shouldn't the Governor be in charge of smuggling?!"
"The Governor is willing to send us food... He, he is a kind man, he shouldn't make things difficult for you! You don't make money!"
Huo Yunyou laughed at the childishness of these people: "The Governor is the sun in the sky. While driving away the darkness, he will also drive away the gray. We are just unfortunate enough to become that gray!"
"He has helped you drive away the gerbil gang and filled your bellies, and you still want him to buy you medicine? The Governor is kind, not stupid. Save it and go!"
After saying that, Huo Yunyou forced the iron door to close and started walking to the next gathering point.
As he walked, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Damn, I lost a little again...Sooner or later, this business will no longer be able to continue."
More than ten minutes later, she came to the door of another room.
"Open the door and deliver the medicine!"
The iron door was opened as usual, and there were still those familiar faces inside. As soon as they saw Huo Yunyou, they couldn't help but cast their longing eyes on her shabby package.
However, the moment the iron door was opened, something unexpected happened!
There were dense footsteps behind and on both sides of Huo Yunyou. She subconsciously turned around, but she could only see a large bright light coming towards her, making her almost unable to open her eyes.
Several people roared loudly:
"Don't move! Law Enforcement Officer!"
"Put your hands where we can see them! Now!"
Oh, the law enforcement officer...is finally here?
In fact, she had long expected that she would be caught one day - it was okay during the time when the Gerbil Gang ruled. Those people did not manage order, so they were even more lazy to manage smuggling. Even if they were caught, as long as they gave some money, most of the time They can all get away with it.
After all, the Gerbil Gang itself runs the largest black market.
After the Governor came to power, the black market was wiped out and order was quickly restored everywhere. However, smugglers like Huo Yunyou also lost most of their living space.
It was only a matter of time before he was caught.
I just pity these patients...
Huo Yunyou sighed, threw the medicine in the package into the room together with the coins, and said in a relaxed tone: "Take it, run away quickly, and go find someone else to buy medicine later."
After speaking, the drug smuggler turned around and stretched out his hands calmly.
Law enforcement officers in the distance, armed with batons and pistols, surrounded them very carefully.
The young law enforcement officer who led him recognized the figure at a glance. It was the target he had been chasing for two years—Huo Yunyou! He shouted excitedly into the walkie-talkie: "The target is confirmed, it is Huo Yunyou! Huo Yunyou has been arrested!!"
He had put in too much sweat and effort for this day - the protection of the Gerbil Gang and the moles of the Law Enforcement Bureau had made him repeatedly run into obstacles and unable to obtain conclusive evidence.
It wasn't until the Governor came to power and completely eliminated the corrupt elements that he had this God-given opportunity.
Today, he can finally bring this big smuggler to justice!
When he saw that Huo Yunyou had no intention of resisting, he felt even more excited. He quickly pulled out the handcuffs and rushed forward, intending to cuff her hands.
At this moment, an old and frightened voice came from the side: "Sir..."
Huo Yunyou, who had an indifferent face at first, suddenly became furious. She turned around and cursed loudly at the old man: "Didn't I let you go? Why are you coming back? Are you looking for death?!"
"Shut up!" The law enforcement officer slammed his baton at Huo Yunyou, turned his head and looked at the old man with a proud expression, "If you have anything to do, please just tell me. As long as I am here, no criminals dare to run rampant."
