Chapter 9 Conflict



But there's no guarantee you'll get into the supermarket every time you queue.

News of the planned construction of the first safe haven in Area A of Shichang Village spread quickly, leading to overcrowding in the village.

Sometimes, just as it's getting close to them, the supermarket starts to close.
