As time passed, the sun gradually rose higher.
Golden sunlight streamed through the gaps between the buildings, casting a golden glow on the ground.
The temperature seems to have risen a little.
Seven o'clock arrived quickly, and the line finally began to move, albeit very slowly.
Around 8 o'clock, Lin Dong and a few others came downstairs early to find Su Li.
Qi Zhi handed Su Li a bottle of milk that had been scalded with hot water, and also brought Xuan Qing a small bowl with a lid. The milk was still steaming when it was taken out, and its aroma wafted out, attracting some sidelong glances.
Su Li tore open the milk carton and slowly drank it, while Xuan Qing squatted at her feet and slowly licked it, sip by sip.
After drinking the hot milk, my body, which had been freezing cold for a long time, immediately warmed up.
Before Su Li had finished drinking, a commotion suddenly broke out not far behind her.
Su Li and the others turned around in confusion and saw an old man supporting a boy who looked only five or six years old, just over two meters behind them.
The boy's face was streaked with black tears, but his chubby little face showed that he hadn't been hungry much.
Meanwhile, the boy was shouting and struggling against the old man's legs, but his hand was reaching straight towards Su Li:
"Um... milk, Grandpa, I want milk too! Grandpa, go buy some! Grandpa!"
The old man behind her felt the gazes around him and was a little embarrassed. He looked up and bumped into Su Li. He smiled at Su Li, seemingly a little embarrassed, but his eyes were also on the bag of milk in Su Li's hand.
Seeing this, Su Li couldn't help but frown slightly.
She looked away, turned her head, and ignored the noise behind her.
Sure enough, she still didn't really like children.
She might touch a child's cheek at most if the child is obedient, but she has absolutely no patience for a naughty child!
As for Xuanqing, who was also drinking milk, he didn't even raise his head.
Seeing that Su Li didn't intend to pay attention, Qi Zhi and the others also turned around and ignored the noise behind them.
However, while the person involved ignored it, others were not happy about it!
A sharp, sarcastic female voice rang out impatiently after the group had looked away:
"No, if a child wants to drink it, just give them a bag. Everyone has their own difficulties. They'd rather give milk to a cat than to a child. Young people these days have no compassion at all!"
As soon as the woman finished speaking, Su Li immediately felt the surrounding space become quiet.
Gazes from all directions were veiled with envy, jealousy, and a great deal of malice, and within seconds, whispers began to circulate.
Su Li raised an eyebrow, turned her head to look, and then met a pair of eyes full of shrewd calculation.
She was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties, with a thin figure and messy hair mixed with white strands.
At this moment, seeing Su Li looking over, the woman, who was so thin she looked emaciated, revealed a hint of smugness, as if she had thought of something!
Su Li's gaze lingered on the woman's face for two seconds before pausing again as it passed over the old man's face.
She easily saw the expectation in the old man's eyes.
That's just how people are; when someone takes the lead, there's always someone who wants to hide behind and reap the rewards!
"You can't believe how irresponsible young people are these days. What kind of era is this, and they still have the mind to keep cats! The food for one cat could probably feed a person!"
Another hoarse male voice rang out, and the voice seemed to have taken two steps forward, getting very close to Su Li and the others!
As this person spoke, the surrounding voices of indignation grew even louder:
"That's right! What kind of time is this! How can an animal be more important than a human life?"
"Sigh, what can you do? There will always be people like this!"
"If you ask me, this cat is at least meat, so the base should catch it, kill it, and eat it!"
As soon as someone uttered a sentence, Su Li's hand stopped moving immediately!
Qi Zhi and the others frowned as well. Lin Dong's expression immediately turned cold, and he turned around to find the person who had spoken!
But the discussion that followed was not over yet:
"Yes, it's so cold, even just one person having some meat soup is... Ah—!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a figure flash past him, followed by a sudden, powerful kick to his stomach!
In an instant, the man felt a churning in his stomach, and before he could react, he was sent flying through the air!
"ah!!"
The crowd around them screamed in fright at the sudden scene. In the blink of an eye, an empty space appeared around Su Li and the others!
Su Li ignored her, pulled her leg back, and turned to look at the person who had just said that cats could also be considered meat.
When the woman met Su Li's gaze, she immediately took two steps back in a panic. Then, she suddenly remembered that she had superpowers, and suddenly felt more confident!
Her left hand clenched into a fist, as if poised to strike, and she shouted at Su Li:
"What are you doing? Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong? Keeping pets at a time like this? How many people could that food have saved?"
She's very good at stirring people's hearts!
Sensing the growing commotion around her, Su Li couldn't help but sneer, "I keep pets, what's it to you?"
Seemingly surprised by Su Li's response, the woman opposite her was taken aback. Then, Su Li's cold voice rang in her ears again:
"It's a natural disaster, not something I caused. I found the food myself, why do I need you to tell me how to distribute it?"
