Yesterday, these people witnessed the soldiers covered in blood, yet now they want them to take risks again for some supplies!
Moreover, they even knelt on the ground to morally blackmail people.
Lu Yu: "How many people are there?"
Bodyguard: "Twelve."
They rescued nearly 300 people yesterday and temporarily placed them in a shelter. They will see later whether the people want to go to the base or live independently in the city.
These people are not many; they are probably troublemakers. Most of them should still be reasonable.
Lu Yu: "Treat this as a case of gathering a crowd to cause trouble."
Survival in the apocalypse is tough enough as it is, no one will indulge you, and moral blackmail won't work.
"Yes," the guard said, turning to leave.
Bai Shuang hurriedly called out to him, "Wait, I'll go check."
She followed her guards toward the group of people. The snow leopard was probably off playing somewhere, otherwise she could have scared them a bit.
Regardless of the circumstances, arresting unarmed civilians in front of a military camp is a bad thing, even if those people are heartless.
If there are other options, it's better not to do this.
When the guards brought Bai Shuang to the dozen or so people, they had already stopped kneeling. In the freezing cold of minus fifty degrees Celsius, kneeling just now was just for show. Who would be crazy enough to actually kneel?
When they saw that the guards had brought over a delicate woman, they thought that she was kind-hearted and would be easy to talk to.
"You want the soldiers to go back to the same spot from yesterday to dig for supplies?"
"Yes, all our supplies are buried under the snowdrifts. We can't survive unless we dig them out."
"The shelter doesn't give you food?"
"Not enough to eat, only half full."
These days, having a full meal is a luxury; being half full is already quite good, and people are never satisfied.
"Many of the soldiers who rescued you yesterday were injured by falling snow, and some were even killed. Didn't you know that?"
"I know, but isn't that what they're supposed to do?"
Bai Shuang asked again, "Aren't you afraid they'll be injured or killed by snowballs again?"
The group fell silent. Suddenly, an old man said, "Aren't soldiers supposed to sacrifice themselves?"
So that's what they thought.
Human life is equal, and no one is obligated to sacrifice for anyone else.
It's the end of the world, full of dangers and everyone is on edge. Lu Yu and his group could have simply ignored the unscrupulous scoundrels.
Saving lives is a noble act, but not saving them is simply one's duty.
"We didn't want it to be like this either. We simply couldn't survive without those supplies. It would have been better if we hadn't tried to rescue them in the first place."
"Yes, if they don't help us find supplies, we'll die here."
Just then, the snow leopard arrived.
It bared its teeth at these people, barking, "Are you trying to bully my master? Well, you'll have to get past Grandpa Xue first."
When those people saw the vicious dog, their momentum waned by half, and some even trembled.
Bai Shuang: "It's good to die here. There's a cannibal not far away, and it's almost evening. They'll be out soon."
You will die here, which will be perfect for their dinner. If they can't finish it, they can chop it up while it's still hot and freeze it as food.
Don't worry, nothing will be wasted; I guarantee there won't be a single bone left.
The guard felt a chill run down his spine, but he still chimed in, "Yesterday, someone saw them pick someone up from the roadside and drag them back. I heard the person wasn't dead yet."
After saying that, Bai Shuang and her guards turned around and walked towards the military camp. After walking a few steps, they turned back and saw that they were running faster than rabbits.
The snow leopard was still chasing after them.
"Snow Leopard, come back!" There's no need to chase them; they'll run as fast as they can anyway.
Back at the military camp, Lu Yu heard that those people had been scared away by Bai Shuang, which made him both amused and exasperated, given her cunning nature.
When everyone heard that those people had been scared away by the cannibals Bai Shuang had mentioned, they all laughed heartily.
The silly soldier even said, "Why did they leave?"
"It would have been so much better if we hadn't left. I could have gotten a few people to pretend to be cannibals and scare them."
That evening, Bai Shuang and the other medical staff went to the wards again to check on everyone's wounds. There were no abnormalities, so they were completely relieved.
The next morning, Bai Shuang took out some of the milk powder she had collected at the mall and had someone make a cup for each of the wounded soldiers to supplement their calcium intake.
The medical staff have been working to their limit these past few days, so let's give each of them a drink too.
When she finished examining Lu Yu's wounds and entered the ward, everyone saluted her in unison, "Thank you, Dr. Bai!"
These days, who can easily afford to drink milk powder?
"You're welcome, we're all friends."
After checking everyone's wounds again, Bai Shuang was once again impressed by the restorative effects of the spiritual spring water.
Today, the soldiers' conditions have completely stabilized, and the military medical staff are able to handle the situation.
After breakfast, Dr. Jiao came to say goodbye; he still needed to lead the clinic over there.
Dr. Jiao was a tenured employee and did not need to be paid extra, but when she left, she insisted on asking Bai Shuang for a box of 10 Bai's wound dressings and two bottles of disinfectant.
"I don't have much stock left either, so I'll spare some for you."
Dr. Jiao: "Thank you!"
These days, medicines are incredibly precious and have been driven up to exorbitant prices. If we can spare even a little, we've done our best.
Anming's wages were still paid by Baishuang.
While Bai Shuang was in the army, all the fees for house calls, medicine, and medical care were used to cover the labor costs for the soldiers to make mulberry paper.
After all, they have so many people working there every day; if you calculate their wages, it would be quite a lot.
