Chapter 16 The Chaos Begins

    At four o'clock in the evening, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng were squatting in the living room watering the sprouted lettuce.

    It has been ten days since I returned from moving the soil last time. Now except for the bedroom and bathroom, all places including the living room are covered with a thick layer of soil by the two of them, and lettuce with a short growth cycle is planted.

    If there is no accident, before the government leads the citizens to move to Cangyun Mountain, this batch of lettuce can be harvested a lot, even if it is not enough to eat, it can still be pickled.

    As soon as the water was poured, there was a commotion downstairs. Ning Qiyan walked to the window and looked down. There seemed to be a conflict between two groups of people at the gate of the community.

    Ning Qiyan withdrew his gaze, frowned and pulled Du Cheng into the space.

    "This is the first wave." Ning Qiyan said while taking off his clothes.

    Du Cheng didn't answer, and poured a bucket of cool water from the well into the basin.

    Ning Qiyan wiped the sweat off his body with a towel dipped in cold water, and the cool feeling after wiping made him sigh comfortably.

    "It's more than 30 degrees outside, and there are people fighting in such a hot day, and they don't think it's too hot."

    "It's the hot weather that makes us angry. We're okay here. Even if there is a garrison to control the resettlement site, it's messed up. "Du Cheng said, pouring water into the vegetable field.

    Ning Qiyan brought out a bowl of chilled cherries, and sat in the yard with Du Cheng and began to eat.

    "Look at it, it's about to become chaotic."

    As Ning Qiyan said, after another five days, city D began to be in chaos.

    Starting from the resettlement point of the stadium, several groups of forces started to riot at the same time as if they had made an appointment, rushing into the warehouse where the food was temporarily stored.

    The army was unable to react in time, and the entire warehouse was robbed of supplies, followed by riots at the resettlement sites of the Ecological Park and Longshan Park a day later.

    And because the resettlement site in the University City was the first to restore power, all the families of children, elderly people, pregnant women, and wounded who were still staying in the resettlement site in the city were relocated there. Because the proportion of vulnerable groups is very large, there are sufficient guards to suppress the riots before they happen. Compared with the other three places, order can still be maintained.

    Because the riot was sudden and spread widely, most of the participants were ordinary people. Maybe it was the grief accumulated by the death of a close relative during the earthquake, maybe it was the rumored doomsday theory, maybe it was the loss of their homeland, and the sudden return to the era of big pots of rice and relief food, which made the survivors feel at a loss. resulted in the present situation.
