With the military and government working together to crack down on organized crime, and the bounty order remaining in effect for an extended period, the social atmosphere has improved significantly and the area is no longer as chaotic as it used to be.
Just kidding, with the crackdown going on so hard, who would dare cause trouble? If there's even the slightest hint of fighting or robbery, there will be bounty hunters watching you like they're eyeing their prey.
Meanwhile, with the introduction of cold-resistant potatoes, the government has provided hundreds of planting jobs.
On July 2nd, news came from Lu Yu that a major event was scheduled for the next day: a public trial of criminals, to be held at Wanda Plaza, not far from the border market.
Moreover, tomorrow is the day the border trade market opens.
Upon hearing this news, Bai Jiu excitedly said, "Miss, they're finally going to die. We can finally have peace."
Bai Chang was also very excited, "The sooner these scourges die, the better."
Bai Jiu: "I won't feel at ease unless they're executed."
Bai Chang: "What's there to be afraid of? With Miss here, and the country and the army, they can't escape our grasp."
Those who risked their lives to fight against organized crime during this crackdown will be commended and rewarded.
Bai Shuang participated fully in the last confrontation and made great contributions, but after the confrontation ended and the criminals were caught, she reminded Lu Yu not to tell anyone.
Bai Shuang didn't want to stand out. The main reason she got involved was because the criminal gang had already targeted her. Another reason was that she didn't want to see too many soldiers sacrifice their lives.
As for the reward, there was no need for it. She had already received her share of the spoils of war, including weapons and food, which was enough. There was no need for her to take another reward and make it known to everyone.
In the apocalypse, revealing your strength is not a good thing, and may even invite retaliation.
Looking at Bai Jiu and Bai Shuang, Bai Shuang wondered if she should take advantage of their meritorious service this time to get them officer positions. "Would you like to be officers? With your martial arts skills, you'd be very successful."
Bai Jiu: "Miss, if you become a soldier, I will become a soldier. If you don't, I won't either. I will follow you for the rest of my life."
Bai Chang nodded, "Yes, we'll follow you for the rest of our lives."
Since they were unwilling, so be it. The apocalypse was dangerous, and it wasn't like she couldn't afford to support them. She was just wondering if they could make a good future for themselves.
There's not much entertainment in the apocalypse, so all three of them wanted to go see something exciting, even the snow leopard was very excited.
They got up early, ate breakfast, put on thermal underwear and thick cotton coats, fully armed, and set off for the trial.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Building C, the three people and the dog boarded the snowmobile that had been placed there beforehand.
As the car drove away, the residents of the community made way when they saw it from a distance, and no one dared to approach. Bai Shuang and her group still felt lingering fear when they thought about the fight with the criminal gang a while ago.
There were many people along the way. I had never seen so many people since the apocalypse. There were no followers, stone throwers, or roadblocks on the road.
Even if some people are shocked, envious, or greedy, they can only look at it from afar.
A while ago, the Wolong Society frantically seized territory and plundered resources, making almost everyone in Tangcheng tremble with fear. Even when they went out to cut a bundle of firewood, they had to pass through several toll checkpoints.
This elimination of the criminal gangs has brought a sense of relief to the survivors who had been suppressed for many days, as if the clouds had parted and the sun had finally come out.
The streets were deserted; everyone who could go went. Anyway, the security is good now, and no one dares to break into homes and rob people.
Even from a distance from the square, you could hear the shouts of the crowd, and even see people holding old cloth headscarves and hawking them.
Many people asked, but they only exchanged food.
With soldiers maintaining order and bounty hunters keeping watch, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be immediately arrested and exchanged for food.
At the entrance, the two people Lu Yu had left behind saw Bai Shuang and the others arrive and hurriedly ran over.
"Dr. Bai, the general instructed us to wait for you here."
As soon as Bai Shuang, the three people, and the dog got out of the car, they immediately attracted the attention of those around them.
The dog was strong and agile, with shiny fur and sharp eyes that inspired awe. The two men and one woman were covered up so their faces were obscured, but they were all tall and slender with cold, stern eyes.
In those years of starvation, who could raise such a fat and strong dog? If this dog were killed, it would be enough to make a delicious meal for many days.
The snow leopards sensed a hostile scrutiny, and their menacing eyes swept over them. They immediately looked away.
Seeing soldiers helping to park and guide the way made it even more unthinkable; they were definitely people I couldn't afford to mess with.
Bai Shuang and the others were just there to watch the excitement and didn't intend to be special, but seeing the huge crowds and the throngs of people everywhere, they decided to go with them.
The makeshift platform wasn't high; if you stood there, all you could see were heads wrapped up like rice dumplings.
The two soldiers led Bai Shuang and the other two to the foot of the makeshift platform and pointed to three seats.
"This is prepared for the three of you."
\"Thanks!"
It's good to have friends to take care of you. After the three of them sat down, the snow leopard cautiously scanned the surroundings with its eyes for a while. After finding nothing unusual, it leaned against the white frost and waited for the conference to begin.
There are three rows of seats here, and they are almost all occupied. Since they are all covered up quite well, it is impossible to tell who they are. They are probably leaders from various parties.
With the countdown to the opening of the conference underway, important figures from the military, police, and municipal government were all set to appear. Lu Yu was among them, and Bai Shuang spotted him immediately, given his height of nearly 1.9 meters.
He seemed to sense something and looked at Bai Shuang, nodding slightly to her.
Then several large trucks arrived, carrying criminals who were bound hand and foot.
One by one, they were pushed down. The ringleaders, wearing orange-red vests, were the ones who would be shot today; there were more than a dozen of them. The high-ranking members of the Wolong Society had almost all been killed in the fight that day.
