Chapter 86 86. I think you are deliberately making things difficult for me, Sister Marlene...

It seems like the snow won't stop tonight.

The howling wind blew up to the monastery, snowflakes slapped on the windows, and the whole house was shaking.

The temperature outside was very low, and the blazing flames in the fireplace gave everyone a bit of warmth. In the flickering firelight, the work of treating the children was carried out silently and nervously.

Children with minor burns need to carefully clean and disinfect the wound to prevent infection.

Moderate and severe burns are more troublesome. They need rehydration, antibiotics to prevent viruses, and blood replenishment... Sister Marlene's home does not have that many medicines on hand. Sister Reina knocked on the doors of several other nuns overnight and invited them.

Came over to help.

If the situation is more serious, such as little Jasmine who is in shock, she will definitely need skin grafting in the later stage... In more serious cases, it may cause systemic infection, pulmonary complications, stress ulcers, cerebral edema and other complications.

The night is still very long.

In the super prosperous city of Shin-Yokohama, due to the fire, the sky in the east was unusually bright, with red light lighting up half of the sky. Fleeing birds flew at night, and the world below was as desolate as a deserted land.

After the shadow put the man down, he slipped out of the monastery and rushed towards the sea of ​​fire.

Nance had just finished cleaning the wound of a little boy. Sister Lena next to him came over, handed the little boy a piece of candy, then smiled and rubbed his head: "Just have a sleep, good boy..."

"How is she doing?" Nance looked towards Sister Marlene.

Sister Marlene was treating little Jasmine. When she was about to answer, the little girl had already opened her eyes. Her left eye was swollen, and the burns on her body looked quite desolate. The first thing after waking up

As soon as she saw Nance, her little mind was in a mess, and she subconsciously said: "Um...uncle? I am the injured person now, you, you can't ask me for money at this time..."

Nance was startled.

After being stunned for a moment, he reached out to hold her little hand and touched her head with the other hand, not knowing what to say. Little Jasmine struggled to smile and asked him: "Am I ugly now?

Oh, uncle, just close your eyes and remember how I used to be..."

"It's okay, it must be okay." Sister Lena leaned over and blinked her tears, "When you wake up tomorrow, nothing will happen. Trust me."

Seeing her coming, little Jasmine cried out, called "Mama Lena" and crawled towards her arms. Sister Lena held her gently, and sang in her ears the song "I often sing" with a gentle voice.

Tong Yao rings in the streets of New Yokohama.

"A, B, C, vitamin D; fat is in the liver, turtles are in the sea..."

——This song sung by Tong Yao is about the desire of children from poor families in New Yokohama for nutrition.

Nance turned on the destruction engine, connected to the Internet, and watched the online broadcast of the fire scene.

In the pictures from the scene, the fire is still spreading, and even when shooting from a distance, you can still clearly hear the sound of the sea of ​​​​fire mercilessly devouring all objects.

The Tseung Kwan O slum is the largest slum in Shin-Yokohama. Five to six million people gather in an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers. The buildings are so dense that you can't see the sky when you look up, only the messy wires crisscrossing like a spider web.

The fire started at around eight o'clock in the evening.

This is also the time when the dance to welcome Mr. Du begins.

The fire brigade arrived at the scene slowly two hours after the fire broke out. It is said that the leaders were singing and dancing at the dance, which delayed the opportunity to dispatch the police.

It is already impossible to put out the fire at this time.

It has been burning for more than four hours now, and half of the houses in the settlement have been completely burned.

Looking down from a high altitude, the distribution of the flames is like that of a burning fire phoenix. The fire spreads around the body of the phoenix, spreading to untouched areas and annihilating it.

Many elderly people, women, and children with limited mobility struggled in the sea of ​​​​fire and died miserably.

On top of the ruins, homeless people, homeless people, and thieves were looking for money and belongings in the dark. The burnt corpses were at their feet, but no one lowered their heads to even take a look.

Nance turned off the engine and sighed slightly.

Due to the snowstorm, millions of refugees have gathered in Shin-Yokohama, and refugees from the surrounding areas are still running to the city. This fire not only destroyed a place where the refugees stayed, but also

Nearly half a million new homeless people have been added to the population.

It is foreseeable that in addition to frequent public security problems, there will also be another wave of soaring prices.

The first thing to soar was naturally the already strong food prices. Before the fire started, a large amount of food had already been hoarded.

The city hall has not formulated a policy to stabilize prices, and even if it had formulated one, it would be useless. Food prices would only rise even more crazily.

Followed by related daily necessities and cold protection products.

Industries that benefit indirectly include medical pharmaceuticals and security.

The small and medium-sized enterprises affected by this round of disaster will also face a wave of business mergers and embezzlement.

And the stock market...

The stocks of related companies whose stock prices rose against the market during the disaster will inevitably attract a large influx of hot money. The stock prices will continue to push up, and retail investors who will only follow the trend will inevitably rush to send their money. When the stock market crash comes, there is no telling how much money there will be.

Retail investors had all their savings cut off

This kind of chaos will last for several months. After a wave of people without any income die of starvation or illness, the hoarded food will be shipped at a high level, and prices will gradually return to normal levels by the end of next spring. In this

In the long winter, the three, six, and nine levels of people will be very clearly demarcated, and only a very small number of people will not endanger their livelihoods.

As an unrelated minor official, Nance naturally had no access to the top political leaders of the empire. He didn’t know what they would think when facing the disaster in California. Being in the center of the vortex of New Yokohama, he only felt a little bit of the mountain rain.

The breath of desire.

But no matter whether he intended to seek profits from it or to protect himself wisely, he could not help but feel angry at the practices of some big grain merchants.

This is a famine, and millions of lives are at stake. How can you only think about making money at this time...

The wind and snow outside were frighteningly heavy, and the firewood in the fireplace exploded with sparks.

The treatment of the street children was completed, and the nuns went back to their rooms to rest. The night was dark. Sister Marlene stretched her body and said with disgust, "I hate the smell of these children," and then took out a change of clothes from the room.

He asked Sister Lena for the key to her house and said he wanted to sleep there for a few nights.

He obviously worked very hard when he was rescuing people just now.

——Marlene is really a bad-mouthed nun.

Sister Lena worked all night, and her whole body was soaked with sweat, so she went back to the room to take a shower with her. The room became quiet, and in the slightly depressing atmosphere, Craig came over and whispered.

Nance spoke.

"Director Adel."

"What?"

"Thank you."

"There is no need to say this." Nance held a bottle of water and took a sip, "Were all these children rescued by you?"

"No, it's a shadow, the leader of the street children." Craig shrugged his head and said in a very low voice, "If I had Miss Shadow's abilities, I would definitely be able to rescue my mother..."

It turns out that the shadow went to save people... Nance sighed and comforted: "My condolences."

The charcoal fire burned and Clegg fell silent.

After a while, Nance said: "You can vent your grievances."

"Is it useful to vent to you?" Clegg asked.

Nance smiled helplessly and muttered: "It's basically useless..."

"Yeah, it's useless to talk to anyone." Clegg whispered, "If you are a useful official, act according to the rules, be fair and strict, and give us justice, my resentment can naturally be resolved. But you are not...

Officials who are truly in power are those who use their power to suppress others. I went to complain to no avail, and the resentment in my heart cannot be eliminated..."

After he said this, Nance was silent for a moment and asked him: "So? Slowly, your grievances are accumulating more and more, and you want to kill people, rebel, or incite to kill people and rebel? Don't get me wrong, I'm not

Accusing you, the law will not convict a person just because he has an illegal idea but fails to implement it, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it boldly."

"I'm just thinking that the smaller the total resentment in a society, the milder the symptoms, the better the world will be..."

"It's inevitable," Nance admitted.

"If everyone had no desires, wouldn't there be so many things?"

"It's impossible, human nature will always drive humans to pursue better things." Nance said to him, "When you are full, you want to wear better clothes; when you wear better clothes, you want to have a girl to accompany you.

When you have a girl, you want a bigger house and a better car; social development goes hand in hand with people's desires, and this thing cannot be suppressed..."

"Is there really no way to make everyone have no desire?"

"...Hmm, physical eradication?" Nance said uncertainly, "For example, if consciousness is digitized and everyone becomes a string of codes in the computer, then the need for the physical body can naturally be abandoned. Of course, I am also talking nonsense.

Don’t take it seriously. A world of data is too boring, and it’s no different from being destroyed.”

Craig frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "It's very boring."

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"I didn't think about it."

"If you have problems with your livelihood, you can come to Section 9 and help with the chores."

"...I want to do something else." Clegg's eyes flickered and he looked at Nance for the first time during the conversation. "I know that I have no merit. I am not an entrepreneur or an official. I am not good at hiding it.
To be continued...
