For these displaced people who live hand to mouth, all of this seems like a dream.
They could hardly believe that such unexpected good fortune had befallen them.
One of the migrants in line, unable to believe it, stepped forward and pointed at the algae sticks, whispering to confirm:
"Sir, are you really going to give this to us for free? We don't have any money."
Upon hearing this, Ma Yuanbai smiled and raised his voice, shouting loudly:
"That's right! The algae sticks are being distributed free of charge! This is the order from our hero Li Yu, so everyone can rest assured!"
Upon hearing the word "hero," Li Yu shuddered, managed a forced smile, and then waved to the refugees.
Upon seeing this, the refugees swarmed forward, crowding around to receive the aid.
Even though these red algae sticks are brightly colored and clearly different from the green algae sticks commonly found in Central China.
But since it was ordered by the hero Li Yu to distribute them, the refugees had absolutely no doubts.
After all, these algae sticks are easier to store and are better preserved than the food that Miss Yun distributes every day.
Even if you don't eat it right away, just put the algae stick away and you can eat it when you're hungry later.
Seeing that the Seventh Regiment was distributing algae sticks in his name, Li Yu knew that this must be Ma Yuanbai's idea again.
Amidst the admiring gazes of all the refugees, Li Yu had no choice but to dismount and join in distributing the supplies to improve efficiency.
A refugee received the red algae sticks personally distributed by Li Yu, his face still showing a blank expression.
Only when the people behind him pushed him aside did he realize that it was all real. He then looked up at Li Yu opposite him and said in a trembling voice:
"Hero Li Yu personally gave me the algae stick!"
"The great hero Li Yu..." The refugee murmured to himself, momentarily lost in thought.
"It's true... all the rumors were true! Hero Li Yu is indeed as amazing as the legends say! He is our great savior!"
Another young refugee standing nearby echoed this sentiment:
"Yes, yes, I knew Commander Li Yu would definitely help us poor souls! After all, it's said that he used to be a refugee!"
"Really? Hero Li Yu is a refugee?" one of the refugees exclaimed in surprise.
"How could it be fake? Many people know that!"
In the long queue, a homeless woman carrying a child stumbled and limped towards Li Yu, her eyes shining as she looked at her.
Seeing this, Li Yu gave her a few more red algae sticks. The woman took the algae sticks from Li Yu's hand and immediately thanked him loudly with excitement.
"Thank you, great hero Li Yu! You are a great savior who saves us from suffering!"
Her child, sensing his mother's joy, also called out in a sweet, childish voice:
"Thank you, Carp Hero!"
His unclear speech made everyone in the Seventh Regiment burst into laughter.
Yun Shui Ning, who was standing to the side, watched all of this silently.
She was exceptionally intelligent and perceptive, and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Ma Yuanbai's actions at a glance.
Ma Yuanbai is helping Li Yu establish her authority.
Moreover, judging from the enthusiastic response of these refugees, the effect of distributing algae sticks this time alone is probably far greater than the positive image built up by distributing food every day.
Yun Shui Ning did not interrupt Li Yu and the others at this moment. She waited quietly until all the red algae sticks had been distributed before coming to Li Yu again and earnestly pleading for his help once more:
"I beg Li Yu for help! Please save my father!"
Yun Shui Ning knew very well that the young master Ao, who openly clamored to kill her father Yun Ming, must be unfathomably powerful.
With his father now poisoned and his strength reduced to less than one-tenth, Young Master Ao's revenge is sure to be unstoppable in Water City.
Although Li Yu's ranking on the popularity chart is slightly lower than that of Young Master Ao.
However, after Yun Shui Ning approached Li Yu and observed him closely, she discovered that Li Yu's body was incredibly strong, and his body possessed a powerful energy fluctuation that could swallow mountains and rivers.
Yun Shui Ning completely believed all the descriptions of Li Yu's amazing feats in the various newspapers and news in Zhongzhou.
At this moment, while waiting for Li Yu's response, Yun Shui Ning's mind raced:
"Actually, it's already incredibly fortunate that we were able to draw out Young Master Ao's personal intervention. If we could also get Li Yu's help, Father would surely be able to overcome this calamity."
As far as she knew, initially, this young master Ao originally planned to come and cause trouble for her father together with "Wu Lingdi," the 70th-ranked killer on the Wind and Cloud Ranking.
But now, because news of his father's poisoning has suddenly spread, Young Master Ao has changed his plans and published a public statement in the newspaper that he will come alone.
Yunshui Ning felt scared just thinking about it.
If the powerful young master Ao and Wu Lingdi from the Fengyun Ranking were to join forces, the entire Water City would likely face annihilation.
By then, this matter will no longer be just a personal grudge. Shuicheng will even need to request support from the Central State Military Department to withstand the joint attack of the two high-level awakened beings.
but......
Thinking of this, a hint of sadness flashed in Yun Shui Ning's eyes.
She actually had one last option: to ask her mother for help.
But this choice would never be agreed to by his father, Yunming.
Yun Shui Ning looked up at Li Yu again and spoke softly:
"Please, Young Master Li Yu..."
Even Fu Xiyao felt pity for Yun Shui Ning's tearful pleas, but Li Yu showed no reaction whatsoever.
