Meanwhile, Xu Sanguan was leading a group of people to calm the crowd. With so many people gathered together, it was impossible for nothing to happen, so Xu Sanguan could only do his best to maintain order at the scene.
The hastily erected shelter, though called a shelter, was actually just a bunch of large pieces of windproof cloth that Ning Ye had taken out.
While this thing is decent at keeping out the wind and keeping warm, it's already a bit scary with so many people gathered together. There must be at least eight or nine hundred people packed together.
Moreover, to save trouble, Ning Ye didn't build the structure very high. He just managed to cramm everyone inside. Now, let alone lying down, even sitting down would probably be a very difficult task.
Meanwhile, other tents are being set up outside. A day is far too short to accomplish anything; it's already difficult enough to rescue everyone.
Lin Qinshu was also leading a group of people to help Xu Sanguan appease the people, but the task was extremely difficult.
So many people, all of whom were just dug out of the ruins, need doctors, but where can we find so many doctors now?
An old woman in tattered clothes grabbed Lin Qinshu's clothes. "Young lady, please take a look at my child. He seems to be dying. Please, please find a doctor."
Lin Qinshu glanced at the child in the old woman's arms. The child was only about five or six years old. His face was flushed and his eyes were tightly closed. When she touched his forehead, it was frighteningly hot.
Lin Qinshu took out a small sachet she always carried with her, which contained some medicine that Ning Ye had given her. Although she had never seen these medicines before, Ning Ye had already explained their various effects to her. She took out a fever reducer and handed it to the old lady.
"Don't worry, grandpa. After you give this medicine to the child, he'll be fine in no time."
But the old woman still clung tightly to Lin Qinshu's clothes, pleading, "No, young lady, please, please call a doctor. We've never seen this medicine before, is it really safe to take?"
Lin Qinshu said softly, "Don't be afraid, old man. This medicine is very effective. You will get better after taking it. There are no doctors available right now, so you might as well give it a try."
The old woman clutched the pill in her palm, picked up the child, and went to find water. But could she find any other water besides snow here?
Just as Lin Qinshu turned to deal with other matters, Xiaoqing suddenly shouted angrily, "Take your filthy hands back!"
A flash of light appeared on Xiaoqing's longsword, and it had already slashed off a hand.
The man whose hand had been severed immediately screamed in agony, clutching his hand and yelling.
Lin Qinshu frowned slightly. "What's wrong with Xiaoqing?"
Xiaoqing said with a hint of anger in her eyes, "Miss, this guy's hands were not behaving properly just now. He tried to touch you."
Lin Qinshu immediately became a little angry. She knew how many people present had been saved by Ning Ye, and yet this guy had such wicked intentions.
Before Lin Qinshu could speak, the guards beside her had already made their move. Although his hand had been severed, in the eyes of these guards, even death was not an option for this man.
Every guard was a ruthless killer. They knew very well that if they were to let their mistress be taken advantage of while they were by Lin Qinshu's side, they would rather commit suicide to atone for their sins.
After the guards had been fighting for a while, Lin Qinshu finally spoke up: "Everyone, this is a critical moment. You should think about how to survive. If you have any bad intentions, I guarantee I will throw you out and let you freeze to death in the snow."
Some people with a strong sense of justice were already glaring angrily. The man who had been knocked unconscious had no idea what he would face after he woke up.
But the problem doesn't end there. Millions has already been made an example of, but some people will do anything to survive.
The most important thing was to grab food. Although Wang Mingyuan had already opened the granary and cooked pots of thick porridge to distribute to everyone, some people were still willing to fight for it.
Faced with such a natural disaster, everyone hopes to have as much food as possible, because even just one bite might be their chance to survive.
In order to survive, the power that each person can unleash is unimaginable, so the chaos continues.
In order to stop this situation, Lin Qinshu had no choice but to let Xiaoqing start killing people. Anyone who broke the rules was not thrown out, but died on the spot. Only in this way could the rioting crowd be calmed down.
On the other side, Ning Ye and the others also encountered trouble. Demolishing the house was not as simple as they had imagined. In such thick snow, it was not a problem for one person to walk, but it took a lot of force to dismantle the house, and the snowboards under their feet could not bear it.
No matter how difficult it is, they have to bite the bullet and demolish these houses. It's already dark, and if they wait another hour or so, the temperature will probably drop sharply again.
Ning Ye realized for the first time that strength alone is not always effective. Although he is now incredibly strong, when the environment limits its application, even this immense strength is of little use.
However, considering that the people were still waiting for this timber to save their lives, Ning Ye could only urge everyone to work even harder.
With a roar, Ning Ye grabbed a roof beam all by himself, using all his muscles to pull the entire beam out of the snow in an instant.
In order to allow Ning Ye to exercise his power, the others simply piled all their snowboards under Ning Ye's feet to provide better support, while they had to bury half of their bodies in the snow.
Fortunately, Ning Ye's men were well-nourished, so even if they stayed in the snowstorm for a while, they wouldn't freeze to death. In addition, the clothes they were wearing were cold-weather suits that Ning Ye had redeemed from the system store.
Each piece looks very thin and light, but it provides maximum warmth when worn.
When a small team returned, they would always bring back a pile of wood, which would be burned into campfires. As the other tents were completed, the people were dispersed.
Once the crowd dispersed, there was less chaos than before. As long as each tent was managed by a designated person, there wouldn't be any major issues, and besides, none of the people there would be malicious intent.
