She had already tried to seduce him like this, but he wouldn't have fallen for it at all, making Jiang Zhizhi feel humiliated like never before.

"That brat! She's incredibly stingy!"

Yao Guilan gritted her teeth and cursed Jiang Jingxue in her heart.

Maybe it was at Jiang Jingxue's behest that Qin Liang refused to give them a single penny!

"Mom, once Jiang Jingxue dies, we must demand a lot more money! We absolutely cannot let the Gu family get away with this so easily!"

"That's right! We must extort a hefty sum from them!"

Yao Guilan and Jiang Zhizhi, mother and daughter, entered the station while cursing and swearing.

At this time.

Jiang Jingxue and Gu Pingwei had just arrived at the village most severely affected by the disaster.

Everywhere the eye could see was devastation.

"Major, the road ahead has been damaged, and the car cannot proceed any further."

"Stop right there, everyone get off the bus."

"yes."

Under Gu Pingwei's orders, everyone got out of the car fully armed.

Just as Jiang Jingxue was about to get out of the car, Gu Pingwei reached out and stopped her.

"We don't know what the situation is outside yet, so you should wait in the car."

Jiang Jingxue knew that Gu Pingwei cared about her.

But she still said helplessly, "Gu Pingwei, I didn't come here to be a mascot. I'll have to get off this bus sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Pingwei could only reach out to her and help her out of the car.

Not far away, a group of disaster victims wandered around like zombies.

They were all survivors of this natural disaster, but their houses were destroyed and their food was spoiled by seawater, so they hadn't eaten for a long time.

Many others are afflicted with serious illnesses, and hunger and disease have left them extremely weak.

Roads were washed away, communications were disrupted, and they were trapped in this devastated place with no way to save themselves.

Suddenly seeing several military vehicles parked there, the disaster-stricken people immediately ran towards them as if they had seen saviors.

"Help!"

"Sirs! Please, we beg you, save us!"

There were so many people affected by the disaster that they quickly surrounded Jiang Jingxue and her group's car.

"Don't worry, everyone. We're here today to help you. We've brought food and medicine to help you get through this difficult time."

As soon as Jiang Jingxue finished speaking, some starving disaster victims spoke up.

"Food! Where's the food? Give it to us now!"

As he spoke, he lunged at Jiang Jingxue, reaching out his withered hands to snatch the food.

One person caused chaos, and the whole group followed suit, with all the disaster victims rushing towards Jiang Jingxue.

Even with a group of fully armed soldiers maintaining order, they still couldn't stop so many disaster victims.

Jiang Jingxue was almost tackled to the ground.

Gu Pingwei caught her waist just in time and pulled her into his arms.

Having never experienced such a scene before, Jiang Jingxue's heart pounded with nervousness.

She even felt that if she had been any later, these starving people would have torn her apart, just like in zombie movies.

"Don't panic! We have brought enough food for everyone to eat their fill. Please step back and don't make a scene!"

Jiang Jingxue shouted at the top of her lungs.

Unfortunately, the disaster victims, who only cared about getting food, simply refused to listen to her.

Everyone was pushing and shoving forward, afraid that if they were late they wouldn't get any food.

It was clear that the soldiers they had brought were about to be overwhelmed.

Gu Pingwei took out his pistol and fired several shots into the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The menacing voice rang out, and everyone fell silent.

After all, their lives are more important than food.

"Everyone, step back!"

Gu Pingwei's voice was authoritative without being angry.

"If you want to live, obey my orders!"

The disaster victims, who had gradually calmed down due to fear of the gunfire, took a few steps back.

"The team took out the pots and pans and rice from the vehicle, set up the pots on the spot, cooked porridge, and prepared to serve it!"

"The second team will separate those infected with cholera from those who are not infected to prevent the epidemic from spreading further!"

"Team Three, thoroughly disinfect the surrounding area, burn the items used by the infected individuals, and distribute new daily necessities to them!"

"Fourth team, write down what's lacking here, and go back to gather food, medicine, and clothing!"

Gu Pingwei is a natural leader.

He quickly distributed the tasks.

Everyone performed their duties and carried out their tasks.

When the disaster victims saw that the rescuers were genuinely there to provide relief and not just trying to fob them off with some random things, they became much calmer.

One of the leading refugees shouted to the people behind him, "These soldiers have come all this way to help us. We can't cause them any trouble, can we?"

Other victims echoed, "Yes! That's right!"

Some young and strong disaster victims even helped gather firewood. Everyone, soldiers and civilians, worked together to provide disaster relief.

Jiang Jingxue led the second team to distinguish between infected and uninfected individuals.

Before she set off, Gu Pingwei specially helped her put on an extra mask.

"Protect yourselves, that's a military order!"

The concern in Gu Pingwei's eyes was almost overflowing.

Not wanting the atmosphere to be too tense, Jiang Jingxue deliberately teased him.

"Besides military orders, you had no personal motives?"

Gu Pingwei's handsome face flushed slightly.

Was she openly flirting with him in front of so many people?

How could there be such a woman in the world!

Seeing Gu Pingwei's face turn bright red, Jiang Jingxue knew when to stop and quickly said, "Just kidding, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself!"
