The snow kept falling, and the entire city of Wancheng was covered in white, looking exceptionally clean.
However, beneath the white snow, the cold and hunger gradually caused panic among the survivors.
Some people began to take advantage of the cover of the heavy snow to plunder other people's supplies.
The municipal government sent people to handle the situation, but there were too many locations where incidents occurred, and they simply couldn't keep up.
The city was locked down by heavy snow, and the municipal government provided hot porridge every day.
In order to ensure the survival of more people, the mayor carefully managed food and supplies. Although he could not guarantee that everyone would be full, he could at least ensure that everyone would survive.
However, this arrangement has drawn criticism from many people.
"Why won't we use the so many supplies they have?"
"Exactly! At a time when life and death are at stake, why are you still hiding those supplies? Are you trying to embezzle them?"
"I think the mayor has ulterior motives, otherwise why would he only give us porridge!"
A group of people started cursing and swearing, which stirred up everyone's emotions.
As a result, more and more people became dissatisfied and went to the mayor to demand an explanation.
The mayor, whose health had just begun to recover, was still working in his office. Surrounded by this group of troublemakers, his head was about to explode.
"Everyone, I will definitely make proper arrangements for the supplies. The difficulties are only temporary..."
The mayor tried to persuade them, but his voice was quickly drowned out. Those who came to cause trouble were only concerned with achieving their goals and paid no attention to what the mayor was saying.
Secretary Li was in a panic. Everyone else had gone out to deal with their own business, and he was all alone. He couldn't stop these troublemakers.
The mayor just had a life saved; we can't let these people ruin it.
He stomped his foot and left. At this point, he could only ask Miss Qin for help.
Qin Su put on her thermostatic clothing and then two down jackets before coming out of the house.
A gust of cold wind swept in, and the freezing sensation went straight to the top of my head.
It was indeed extremely cold, cold enough to freeze a person into an icicle.
"Young lady, don't stay outside for too long."
Xu Jingzhi said anxiously.
Qin Su nodded. If it weren't to give this body some tolerance, she wouldn't have wanted to come out.
Just then, the guard came over to report.
"Miss, Secretary Li has come to ask for help. Something has happened at the municipal government."
As Qin Su walked past, Secretary Li shivered from the cold, stamping his feet back and forth at the gate, glancing inside every now and then.
His eyes lit up the moment he saw Qin Su.
"Miss Qin, regarding the municipal government, the survivors are unhappy about being given only plain porridge and are causing trouble for the mayor. Now the mayor is being pressured by them to distribute supplies. If they really give in to their wishes, Wancheng will truly descend into chaos..."
Everything went as Qin Su had predicted, except that things would fall into chaos so quickly.
"Miss Qin, could you please help?"
Secretary Li knew that his request was excessive. Miss Qin was not a leader and had no benefit to gain, so why should she help him?
However, apart from Miss Qin, he really couldn't find anyone else who could help him.
"Can."
Qin Su's expression was somewhat cold. She had previously deployed so many supplies in the hope that Wancheng would remain stable.
If Wancheng is destined to descend into chaos, she will never allow those supplies to fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives.
"Miss, you promised us you wouldn't go out."
Xu Jingzhi's face was full of disapproval.
"Hehe, Aunt Zhi, don't worry, I'll take good care of keeping it warm."
Qin Su held Xu Jingzhi's hand and swayed it.
“Aunt Zhi, there’s an emergency at the municipal government. If we don’t help, the mayor will be in trouble. If something happens to the mayor, Wancheng will be in chaos. If Wancheng is in chaos, our resort will probably not be able to escape unscathed.”
Xu Jingzhi's attitude softened little by little.
"Aunt Zhi, don't worry, I will protect Miss and will absolutely not let her get hurt in any way."
Huo Sijin spoke up at the opportune moment.
Xu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Master Huo, the young lady is in poor health, so please keep a close eye on her this time."
Compared to Qin Su, she clearly trusted Huo Sijin much more.
Qin Su didn't expect that her earnest assurances were less effective than a single sentence from Huo Sijin.
She rolled her eyes at Huo Sijin and turned to leave angrily.
Looking at the snow-covered landscape outside, Qin Su resignedly took a step forward.
With such heavy snow, it's impossible to drive. Looks like I'll have to take the bus today.
"Miss, wait a moment."
After Huo Sijin finished speaking, she walked towards the backyard.
Not long after, he drove out in a modified car.
This is... a snowplow?
"Master Huo, you're amazing! You actually made a car like this. If I had known it could drive like this, I wouldn't have had to come all this way here..."
Secretary Li was overjoyed as she sat in the snowplow, looking left and right, and thinking that Huo Sijin was also a remarkable person.
"Okay, I'll modify a few for you later."
Since his apprentice didn't want anything to happen to the city, he would lend a hand.
"Okay, okay, thank you so much."
Secretary Li said happily, but as they approached the municipal government, his face was filled with worry.
"I wonder how the mayor is doing? He had just started to recover, and then these people messed with him. I wonder what his condition is now?"
Qin Su squinted: "Why did you suddenly rush to the mayor's office?"
The mayor is still very popular, and it's not like we're at the point of no return. The survivors shouldn't be so reckless.
"It's all because of a few people who took the lead. Those people were troublemakers to begin with. A while ago, they even dragged some other people out and chose a building to live in. Now that it's extremely cold, they're afraid they won't be able to escape, so they've come to the municipal government to take advantage of them."
Speaking of this, Secretary Li was furious.
"It seems that these people's defection was a pretense; their real intention was to plunder supplies."
People who have already gone out and formed small groups, why would they be willing to come back and lie low? It's likely that from the very beginning, they went back with ulterior motives.
"Oh no, isn't the mayor going to get into trouble?"
Secretary Li broke out in a cold sweat. Oh no, he should have stayed with the mayor.
"Huo Sijin, speed up."
The snowplow sped across the snow, and the survivors who passed by only saw a streak of light flash by.
What is this? A spaceship?
Qin Su was surprised. What kind of car could travel at such a speed in the snow?
Is this really something that Earth can produce?
They soon arrived at the municipal government building. Secretary Li opened the door, got out of the car, and stumbled towards the mayor's office.
"Mayor, please don't let anything happen to you!"
Qin Su and Huo Sijin followed behind, and before they even reached the mayor's office, they saw a group of people gathered there, saying something indignantly.
Secretary Li tried to rush in, but couldn't squeeze in at all.
The mayor had only just recovered, and with them making such a ruckus, he could easily get into trouble. If this continues, he might be dead before they even see him.
Qin Su directly took out a large megaphone from her spatial storage using her backpack.
"Shut up, all of you, and get out of the way!"
An intense killing intent permeated the hearts of everyone present.
When they came to their senses, they saw that it was a delicate girl who had spoken, and they were somewhat dismissive.
But at that moment, Huo Sijin had already drawn her weapon and pointed it at them.
