Meanwhile, other places were not at peace.
People are eating less and less. Even though they only eat one meal a day, the remaining food won't last long.
In particular, some young people who rely on food delivery services cannot survive for more than three days after the floods and are starving.
When people are starving, how many are willing to die?
If you don't want to starve to death, then rob! Even if you fail to rob anything and are beaten to death, it's better to starve to death. If you manage to rob something, you won't die.
Robberies happen every day, some within the same building, and others are organized into groups that rob other buildings.
Meanwhile, in Building C, once Liu Zhongyi was able to get out of bed and walk around, he beat up Li Qingqing.
It was all her bad idea that led her to rob a girl who was an orphan with a lot of supplies.
As a result, he was beaten up. After inquiring, he found out that she was a young lady from the Bai family. The Bai family was not to be trifled with.
Although the Bai family never bullies anyone, who would dare to provoke them?
Today, after everyone received their relief food, the building manager of Building C proposed collecting protection money, demanding half a pound of food per person per week. This made things even worse for people who already had limited food.
Those who didn't pay would no longer be protected by the building committee. Liu Zhongyi had martial arts skills, so people were still somewhat wary and most of them paid.
However, he still didn't dare to cause trouble for Bai Shuang, as he was still in pain.
The next day, today is the day the market opens.
Bai Shuang got up very early, finished packing, reminded them again to take all their cash, and then went downstairs.
Because this is likely the last chance to spend money.
On the 13th floor, Wang Xiu stood at her door and saw Bai Shuang come down.
He hesitated, then remained silent.
Li Mingming, who lives on the 12th floor, wanted to pay Bai Shuang to buy things for her because she didn't have a boat, but Bai Shuang refused.
There were quite a few people coming and going outside today. Some were riding in speedboats, some were driving rubber boats, some were paddling on door panels, and some were on baby bathtubs...
It's truly a case of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.
The closer you get to the Wanyuan Hotel, the more people there are. There are armed soldiers nearby maintaining order, so generally no one causes trouble here.
From afar, one could see a very long queue. Upon inquiring, Bai Chang learned that grain was very expensive, with waterlogged rice costing 200 yuan per jin (500 grams), and each person was limited to purchasing one jin per day.
We only accept cash and gold; nothing else.
