In her previous life, Qin Xingyue struggled for seven years in the apocalypse. When she opened her eyes again, she was back one month before the apocalypse, cornered and being beaten by people hire...
Chapter 73 Chaotic Murder
Qin Xingyue did not go downstairs. From the last situation and what the old lady said last time, she had already guessed the situation. The last distribution of supplies might be the last help that the higher-ups could give to the people. For the rest, they would have to rely on themselves.
This had been anticipated, so Qin Xingyue didn't even think about it until she saw people gathering downstairs again. Then she remembered that based on the previous two experiences, today should be the day for distributing supplies again. However, until noon, no news came.
To be honest, this amount of relief supplies had no impact on Qin Xingyue. She went out the first two times just to cover up her tracks.
Otherwise, if she didn't even go to distribute the food, wouldn't that clearly tell others that she had a lot of food stored at home, and then wait for those people to come and grab it?
However, for her, it has little impact, but for many people, it can save lives and is the hope for survival.
While Qin Xingyue was having lunch, a riot broke out downstairs.
Some people were cursing, some were crying, but some did not give up hope and headed towards Nanfeng Square to check the situation.
"This is not giving us a way to survive. No one cares about us. How can we survive?"
"Three days ago, my family ran out of food. We are just living on water. We were expecting to get food today, but now what should we do?"
Two skinny men sat in the snow and burst into tears. They were both very thin and had yellow faces. They looked malnourished and looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.
They ran out of food a long time ago. Before, they could still rely on begging neighbors for food, but now, as time goes on, everyone is struggling to take care of themselves and no one is willing to give them food anymore.
The little bit of relief supplies distributed before would not last for more than ten days no matter how much we saved. We couldn't get enough to eat at normal times and we haven't eaten for several days. We forced ourselves to wait until today, but who knew this would be the result.
The two grown men just broke down and cried. It was fine if they were hungry, but their wives and children at home were also hungry. How could they bear it?
There were many people like them, all with miserable faces and devastated expressions.
We were all happily preparing to go get food, but now, there is no hope at all, and everyone's dissatisfaction has been maximized.
At this time, Huang Er in the crowd said: "Now no one can buy food, no one has food at home, how can the country ignore us? Isn't this going to force us to death?"
"That's right. The last time we collected supplies, we got half as much as the first time. Could it be that those people were greedy?"
"No, we have to find an explanation!"
"Find an explanation, find an explanation!"
Inspired by the three brothers of the Huang family, many people decided to find an explanation.
They walked out in a mighty procession, with angry looks on their faces. At this moment, they were filled with anger and had to find an outlet. This anger also overwhelmed their rationality. They didn't care what was happening outside. Only anger filled their hearts.
However, not everyone did so. Some people did not go. Today's snow and wind were stronger than usual. If they had not thought that they would get food today, they would not have gone out.
Now that they have no food to collect, they won’t seek justice. Those people are too naive. Where can they find justice now? They can only wish themselves good luck!
"Everyone, go back now. We don't know what the situation is. Maybe the distribution of supplies has been delayed. Don't lose hope!"
Sister Lin from the property management told everyone that she also lives in the community and usually stocks a lot of food at home. Although there is nothing to receive this time, the food at home can last for a long time, enough for her family to survive for a long time, so she is not as disappointed as everyone else.
Seeing that everyone looked distraught, she spoke out to comfort them.
"It's you. Since there's nothing to get, why do you ask us to queue up?" An old lady suddenly looked up and glared at Sister Lin with red eyes.
The hatred in those eyes was somewhat shocking.
"I--" Sister Lin opened her eyes wide. What does this have to do with her?
It was true that she was the one who organized everyone to line up, but she was just organizing the line up. When she was organizing, those people had already come out and waited.
It wasn't her who woke everyone up. She was just organizing everyone like last time.
But before she could refute that person, she received a barrage of curses.
"Yes, it's so cold, we have to wait here for so long."
"I've already felt a bit cold these days, and now I'm being blown by the cold wind. You're killing me!"
"Compensation!" Curses and demands for compensation came one after another, leaving Sister Lin unable to say a word.
Those people stared at her as if they wanted to eat her.
They didn't dare to go out or cause trouble for others, but Sister Lin and the others were not afraid. Once someone took the lead, everyone immediately pointed the finger at Sister Lin.
Qin Xingyue was at home and didn't expect to see such a good show just after dinner.
Sure enough, human nature is the most elusive thing. Unless something happens to him, no one can tell whether he is a human or a ghost.
Look at those crazy-looking people below. Who knows what they look like on a normal day?
Qin Xingyue smiled, but it was hard to tell what the smile meant.
Seeing these people in the community like this, she suddenly felt that even if her house had not been occupied by others in her previous life, and she had stayed in her own home, her life would not necessarily be much better than living outside.
In the early days, it was indeed relatively stable, but there were also many troubles in the community. Later on, it was even more dangerous than outside.
Moreover, by that time, the people hiding in this safe house will be much inferior in all aspects to those people outside who have already adapted to the rules of survival in the apocalypse.
She smiled because she had figured it out and felt relieved. No matter where you are, it all depends on your strength. As long as you have the ability, you can survive anywhere.
She turned back to the living room, but as soon as she turned around, a scream was heard outside.
She looked back again, only to see a man downstairs taking out a knife from somewhere and stabbing Sister Lin again and again with a crazy look on his face: "Go to hell, go to hell!"
The scream came from Sister Lin. Most of the people around looked indifferent and sneered at the scene, and no one stepped forward to stop it.
Only a few people looked reluctant, but they did not dare to step forward.
"Haha, die, die!" Someone laughed wildly and looked like he was crazy.
"Since no one cares about our lives, let's save ourselves. Last time I went to find this property manager, I saw that she had a lot of food at home. Why don't we--"
"Grab her, grab her!"
