Calamity Strikes: I Pick Up Scraps in Dungeons

When Ji He first transmigrated, she thought she had the script of a business tycoon.

She worked hard to earn money, aiming to count money until her hands cramped.

Then she suddenly disc...

Chapter 85: If you can do it, do it. If you can’t, go home.

And now, the temperature is rising, food is becoming less and less, and only the elderly, the weak and the sick are left at home. Isn't this the best time?

If they wait any longer, the food will have been eaten up by everyone. What can they get even if they try to rob?

Among these people, there are not only talented people, but also ordinary people. They formed several small gangs.

There are the Qingtian Gang and the Tushe Gang, which had caused trouble before, and they have revived again this time. There are also more than a dozen gangs such as the Brotherhood Gang and the Mutual Aid Society.

After all, after years of education and the influence of TV dramas, they knew that they could not swallow up the entire city before the trouble. Several gangs discussed it and divided the area according to their strength.

The stronger and more talented people are, the more they occupy the rich areas.

On the contrary, it is worse.

Several gangs discussed and decided to act together today. This way, even if the authorities reacted, they would be overwhelmed with so many places causing trouble at the same time, which would be more conducive to their retreat.

So today, in some places, a group of people gathered at around 7 o'clock in the evening and started to rob, starting from the richest communities and gradually spreading to places with average conditions in the surrounding areas.

Countless families were broken up.

Because they acted so quickly, by the time the government was notified it was already too late.

They already had limited staff, and they had to keep people guarding the supermarket and supplies.

We also have to assign a group of people to watch over the hospital and prevent patients from causing trouble, and then assign another group of people to catch robbers, which seems a bit stretched.

Under the impact of the material supplies, the criminals gradually lost their humanity and became more ruthless.

At the beginning, they only robbed things and didn't hurt anyone.

Later, as time went on, they became more and more anxious, and whenever they encountered fierce resistance, they would kill them.

In this situation, when the police arrive, they can basically only collect the body.

Of course, the casualties are still controllable. After all, most people are staying in the underground shelters, and only a few people come back to cook at home.

Most of them are practical people. Although they are unwilling to see robbers break into their houses and rob them, as long as they hide themselves and let the criminals take their things, their safety is guaranteed.

This is certainly not because the criminals are kind, they just waste their time killing people.

At this time, the crowd queuing at the supermarket entrance gradually heard the news that their homes had been robbed and suddenly became chaotic.

Some sought help from the police, some turned around and ran home, and some even wanted to take the opportunity to break into the supermarket and steal things.

The entire supermarket and free trade market was in chaos.

Countless darknesses arose under the already dim light.

A stampede occurred in the crowd, and many people were knocked down. The screams and cries made the entire supermarket completely chaotic.

The violent crowd didn't calm down until the police shot and killed a man who rushed into the supermarket to steal things.

“The police killed someone!”

"The police are killing civilians!"

"Who dares to go to the supermarket to rob things? If you don't listen to the warning, I will shoot. Now, get out!"

"Those who haven't paid yet, please put down your things and leave together! The supermarket is temporarily closed today! Business hours will be announced later!"

"Speed! Don't make me say it again."

A middle-aged armed policeman, with his pistol raised to the sky and shouting in a hoarse voice, stood alone with the momentum of a single man blocking the way for ten thousand.

The crowd that had been rioting just now suddenly quieted down, and other police officers took the opportunity to draw their guns and stand up.

The crowd in the supermarket was quickly cleared out, and after three checks to make sure there were no lingering people, the supermarket was temporarily closed.

Only the guards were left.

When the crowd learned that they could not buy supplies in the supermarket, there was no need for them to stay and they all went home.

Those who ran fast had already left for a long time.

But how fast can you run on two legs?

In this hot weather, running a few steps will make your lungs gasp for air. Although they want to go home quickly, they are unable to do so.

When they get home, the lucky ones can see their families, but the unlucky ones can only cry over the corpses.

And what if I have family?

All the food in the house was looted, the house was smashed and robbed, and much of the furniture was broken. No one knew what to do next.

That night, the criminals' arrogant and complacent laughter mixed with the people's extremely sad cries, playing a very strange melody.

The air in the municipal party committee office was dead silent.

The municipal party secretary was furious and slammed his hand on the table: "Speak up! Who is responsible for this?!"

The director of the Provincial Public Security Department also had a very grim expression on his face at this time. This matter was supposed to be under his jurisdiction, but there was nothing he could do.

All the manpower was requisitioned to collect supplies, and the few remaining people had to guard the supermarkets and hospitals. What could he do?

But he had to speak, because everyone at the table was looking at him.

He touched his face and said directly: "It's useless for you to look at me. I have a certain number of people under my command and have sent them all out. If you don't believe me, I have records here. They work 24 hours a day and can work 18 hours. If I squeeze them any further, people will die!

Isn't it time to fire some of the idle people under your command? What's going on? You're still supporting them every day. Aren't you afraid of a riot by the citizens? "

The Public Security Bureau Chief had long been displeased with some people. After the natural disaster, he was so busy that he couldn't go home and slept in the office every day.

These people, on the other hand, drink tea in the office all day long, have a bunch of useless departments under them, and yet they eat very well every day. Why?

"Hey, how do you talk like that..."

The people below immediately started quarreling in a mess, as chaotic as a vegetable market. The municipal party secretary's face turned green. What a mess it was outside, and these people were still quarreling here?

He slammed the table hard and stood up.

"Shut up! It's already so late, and you're still talking nonsense! If you can do it, do it. If you can't, go home!

I'm telling you! A notice has been sent from above! The natural disaster will not end so soon, and the government does not support idle people!

From now on, go back and check on the idle people under your command, and dismiss them all. Those who are unwilling to leave will be incorporated into the police station and sent to patrol the grassroots!"

"You, I don't care how many people you have under your command, quickly find a way to catch the criminal! Our city cannot be in chaos, otherwise we will all be sinners!"

The director of the Public Security Department was still somewhat unhappy: "Last time, we arrested a group of people who caused trouble, but you insisted that their crimes were not punishable by death. Now another group has come. What should we do if we arrest this group again? Where should we put them? Not only do we need to allocate a group of police officers to guard them, but most importantly, we have to provide them with food!

There are so many people still hungry, I would feel guilty giving them food!

Besides, you transferred all my people away to collect the supplies, and my police station is now an empty shell! Even if you kill me now, I can’t get anyone out…”

"you……"

Even though the office was in chaos, the Public Security Bureau finally sent people in. This matter had become so serious that if no action was taken, H City would be in complete chaos.
