Chapter 39 What will happen if you spread kindness in the apocalypse? (1/2)

Ye Jingyan frowned slightly: "At least for now, they have no intention of giving up. As for the future, I think they will come up with a policy as soon as possible."

Ye Jinyan asked him, "Did Uncle say how many casualties there were today?"

Ye Jingyan held up three fingers.

Ye Jinyan frowned: "300,000? Is that much?"

Wen Yanchen and Ye Yanling looked at Ye Jingyan. Seeing his unpleasant expression, Ye Yanling asked uncertainly, "Not 300,000? Could it be... 3 million?"

Ye Jingyan gave a soft "hmm," and everyone gasped. How could there be so many?

Wen Yanchen: "...The data announced to the public is one-fifth of the actual data. Didn't the higher-ups take precautions in advance? How come so many people are still dying?"

Ye Jingyan: "You should understand that not everyone obeys orders. Besides, the data is biased. Although we use data to estimate which cities are not in earthquake zones, the actual situation is still quite different."

This data was compiled this evening, and the actual figures are as you described. With a global temperature drop tonight, it's uncertain whether the injured and those from the south who haven't experienced extreme cold will survive tonight.

Wen Mengxia and Moody were both shocked by the data when they entered the living room.

These are huge numbers of living, breathing people. So many died on just the first day! What will happen later...?

Wen Yanchen's expression was very unpleasant: "A shelter is not a permanent place. Have they prepared a refuge camp? Eating, drinking, and relieving oneself are not things that a small shelter can handle."

"We are prepared, but the time is too short and it's not fully built yet. However, judging from their words, they will let them over in the next couple of days."

At this moment, the very thing Wen Yanchen feared was unfolding in various shelters throughout the capital.

Every shelter was overcrowded, so public toilets became the most important places, but with so many people, they became the hardest-hit areas.

The inside was so filthy that it was impossible to walk inside, and even the area outside the public toilets was a disaster zone, causing great suffering to the nearby residents.

Many of the people hiding in the shelters are middle-income earners and white-collar workers. When have they ever experienced such a terrible thing? There are far too many low-quality people, which makes it difficult for everyone to move around.

They went from disgust to anger, and finally broke down, preferring to hold it in rather than go to a public toilet.

But they faced other problems, such as their backpacks, which contained important items, being stolen shortly afterward.

Their documents, cash, food, and other belongings were stolen just like that.

Some people even got into arguments with others because of their dissatisfaction, and ended up being robbed of everything.

There are also single, beautiful women who are constantly harassed by men. Some of them will hide in places with many women, or in front of a group of people who look friendly, to avoid the harassers.

However, some people dared not ask for help or anger those who harassed her, and could only endure being taken advantage of by them.

The shelter appears harmonious on the surface, but in reality, unsettling things are happening in almost every corner.

They are all on the verge of exploding, they just need a trigger.

Zhao Xin is a young man on the verge of exploding.

A small act of kindness caused him great trauma, and even the usually good-tempered man considered destroying the place.

He originally brought his computer and backpack to the shelter. He also prepared a lot of snacks, such as energy bars, chocolate, and canned compressed biscuits. He brought quite a lot of small, filling foods.

Two little girls were squeezed next to him. Their parents were careless people. They hadn't brought any food with them before coming to the shelter, saying there was a supermarket there and they could buy something if they got hungry.

But when they got there, they found that the place was packed with people, and they couldn't squeeze through at all. Moreover, things were extremely expensive, more than ten times more expensive than usual.
