Chapter 190 We still have to consider the overall situation
The leading soldier patiently replied, "Comrade, the death toll from the disaster is too high. According to our superiors' instructions, they must be cremated. I hope you understand."
Mr. Shang simply could not accept the cremation of his family members' bodies.
"I don't agree. They died tragically enough, but they didn't even leave a complete body. Oh my God... What kind of world is this..."
In addition to Master Shang, many people had the same reaction as Master Shang when they heard that their family members were going to be cremated.
"No...we agree."
"I don't agree either. They've already left, but you still don't let them live in peace."
“…”
Seeing everyone's agitation, the leading soldier quickly tried to calm them down, "Listen, I understand how you feel. This disaster has killed so many people. If the bodies aren't cremated promptly, it could easily lead to an epidemic. Those of us who have managed to survive would be in danger."
Mr. Shang wanted to step forward and say something, but was stopped by Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting.
Shang Ruoting advised earnestly: "Son-in-law, I know you are reluctant to send your family members' bodies for cremation, but you still have to consider the overall situation."
As she spoke, she pointed at the little kid who was still eating and said, "Look, my cousin is still so young. It would be bad if he caught some disease."
In fact, Mr. Shang understood this logic. Since ancient times, there have been epidemics after disasters.
Zhang Wenfu also had a mental struggle there: "Dad, they are right, we still have to consider the overall situation."
Seeing his son say this, Mr. Shang finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree. I just hope that after the treatment, my family's ashes can be returned to us to deal with ourselves."
When the few people who had just spoken out against it heard what Master Shang said, their originally firm hearts began to waver.
The leading soldier patiently explained some reasons, and people began to respond one after another, agreeing to cremate the bodies of their relatives.
The soldiers took the bodies away and asked their families to sign.
Uncle Shang signed his name with difficulty, and with the help of Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, he simply tidied up the bodies of his wife and daughter-in-law before reluctantly sending them to the Liberation car driven by the soldiers.
After the car had loaded up enough bodies and left, Mr. Shang and Zhang Wenfu burst into tears again, as did the families of the other victims. For a moment, there was a chorus of sobbing all around...
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen also felt deeply sympathetic about this. They couldn't take care of more people at the moment, and their main goal was to temporarily settle Shang Guye and Zhang Wenfu.
They were talking about settling down, but the house had collapsed and supplies were scarce at the time, so the two were really in a dilemma.
There is a tent in Shang Ruoting's space, but how to take it out and use it becomes a big problem.
Just when she was in trouble, the soldiers had already come and started to settle down, temporarily issuing a military tent to each family. As for other supplies, they would probably have to wait until the road was cleared before they could be transported over.
The affected people had been hungry for more than a day. Later, they began to try their best to rescue people, but now they were dizzy with hunger.
After getting the tent, someone asked the soldiers: "Comrade, can you give us some food? We are so hungry."
"Yes, comrade, my son is only four years old and he keeps crying because he is hungry."
"Comrade, my mother hasn't had any water for over a day..."
The soldiers knew that everyone was thirsty and hungry, but they had also distributed all the supplies they brought with them. Even their own rations had been given to the disaster-stricken people. How could they get any food at this moment?
"Everyone, hold on a little longer. I believe the relief supplies will arrive soon."
Those people simply didn't listen to what the soldiers said.
"Comrade, someone said that yesterday, and we haven't had a drop of water yet. We don't believe it anymore."
"Oh my God, is there really no way out for us? Wuuwuwu..."
"Please, just give my baby a bite to eat!"
Shang Ruoting felt sad when she saw the tragic scene in front of her. She pulled Tan Chen out of the crowd.
Before she could speak, Tan Chen asked first, "Do you want to take out the things in the space to help those people?"
Shang Ruoting said seriously: "Well, I have about 10,000 eggs in my space, which can be processed into boiled eggs, and flour can be made into steamed buns. Other things can also be processed and taken out."
"What are you going to do?" Tan Chen already had an idea in his mind, and he also wanted to seek Shang Ruoting's opinion.
Shang Ruoting pointed to the main road behind the ruins and said, "There shouldn't be anyone there. I plan to put all my things there."
"Of course, if we do that, many people will be curious about the origin of the things. Let them be curious. Even if they rack their brains, they won't be able to figure out the reason."
In fact, Tan Chen also thought so: "Well, this matter must be done secretly."
The two of them made a plan and while everyone's attention was on the soldiers, they quietly went in the direction Shang Ruoting pointed.
Sure enough, the place was deserted, with ruins surrounding it as cover.
Shang Ruoting pulled Tan Chen and slipped into the space together.
Under the watchful eyes of Tan Chen, more than 10,000 eggs were quickly cooked in the processing workshop, 10,000 steamed buns and 10,000 cornmeal pancakes were processed, and several thousand kilograms of noodles were also processed. All the vegetables and seasonal fruits in the space were also taken out.
