Chapter 174. Act Three, Four Women in One Play(1/2)

At least in that era of low productivity, such ridiculous things happened frequently, so that the world of Terra two hundred years later felt dumbfounded by the people and things at that time.

"How long are we going to sit there?"

Since she hadn't eaten anything in the morning and the cold wind was biting her body, Yelena began to miss her temporary residence.

"soon."

Zhou Jinru stared at the gang members patrolling back and forth in front of the warehouse door. In slums where law enforcement forces cannot reach, gangs have become the largest governing body. Even if Sir Chen wants to arrest someone, he has to deal with gangs.

Five days is enough to put families who don't have much food reserves into trouble. People who have lost their food sources have to go to the streets to look for opportunities to make a living.

More and more people appeared near the warehouse, and they even began to whisper. In their eyes, there must be enough food to satisfy their hunger in the tightly controlled warehouse, and the restless crowd began to become uncontrollable.

"Zhou, let's go."

Faced with Yelena's uneasiness, Zhou Jinru gently grabbed her arm and signaled White Rabbit to feel at ease. Since he appeared here, it meant that he would definitely get what he wanted.

After another ten minutes, a poor man wearing linen clothes with a sallow complexion walked towards the gang members step by step. During this process, Zhou Jinru always adopted a wait-and-see attitude. He did nothing, just like an irrelevant bystander, and no one

Care about him and Yelena.

Yelena became even more uneasy, because the mood of the crowd was controlled by a sense of crisis, they had no sense of security, and even docile sheep would turn into ferocious beasts.

"Studying medicine can't save Terra."

"Zhou, what did you say?"

Zhou Jinru shook his head. He had been waiting for someone to arrive.

As the leader of the city's underground forces, this person will definitely run around in the most difficult times. She wants to become a hero from the bottom of her heart. Even if she is misunderstood, even if she is rejected, she will always be like this.

Just when the crowding turned into pushing and shoving, a steam car drove in from a distance, and a team of horsemen in black uniforms ran forward and formed a human wall to separate the agitated poor people and gang members.

The moment the car door opened, a piece of rotten vegetable root was thrown over, but the target was wrong and hit the side of the car door.

The woman with long dark green hair sitting in the car seemed not to notice. She stepped out with her long legs and stood in front of the warehouse door of the agricultural trade center. She stretched out her hands and pressed down. The invisible momentum overwhelmed the angry crowd, making the scene tense.

calm down.

"ladies and gentlemen……"

Zhou Jinru huddled behind and listened. What the woman with long dark green hair said was very simple. The foundation is helping everyone solve difficult problems in life. Every family in difficulty will receive three days of food. Her words made the crowd excited.

To ease things up a bit, firstly it’s her resounding name, and secondly it’s the big family behind her.

Yelena was very happy. If she could receive three days' worth of food, she would be able to save a lot of money.

"Zhou, we should collect them separately."

Zhou Jinru was surprised, but also felt that it was natural. White Rabbit was a girl who knew how to live well, but he didn't expect that she would remind him to get a piece of food.

But his purpose is not as simple as receiving food.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, the tall woman standing on the steps nodded with satisfaction and asked loudly to the crowd: "I need a few people to help distribute food. Is anyone willing to take this job? Who can read and who can write?"

?”

In slums, there are very few people who can do this. The current education level is still very backward. Reading and writing are skills that only wealthy people can master.

At this time, Zhou Jinru raised his hat. With his height, he stood out among these Victorians.

"Very good, you are...very good."

Xingxiong nodded, glanced casually, and was about to say something else. When she really saw who was receiving the job, a look of astonishment quickly took over her face, and then quickly disappeared.

"You guys deal with it first."

She waved to Zhou Jinru to follow her, and left the rest to the gang members she brought with her.

The two people walked a few steps and walked into the warehouse together under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes. Suddenly, the smell of earth and the smell of rotten vegetables piled together made their noses suffer.

"Ah sneeze!"

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but sneeze, and then he remembered that his severe cold had not healed yet.

Xingxiong didn't care much and looked serious: "Why are you here?!"

"I almost died."

Zhou Jinru repeated what he heard from Yelena after he woke up. Xingxiong fell into deep thought. She couldn't help but sigh: "You are really lucky. No wonder we couldn't find you and thought you fell into the Sega River."

Drowned."

"you?"

Xingxiong glanced at him: "Chen, she is like crazy. She has searched all the places where you might appear, but found nothing. If she didn't know how to swim, she would definitely go into the water to look for someone. After all, you disappeared two years ago.

Once, she can't bear the fact that you disappear again."

Zhou Jinru didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Fortunately she didn't do that, but I did narrowly escape death."

"Okay, don't say so much, you have to go back with me."

Xingxiong's words were very convincing. If Zhou Jinru didn't comply, she would tie him up and carry him back.

"No problem, but I need to borrow some money from you, preferably food."

"Why?"

"A girl saved me and I ate her food for several days. I couldn't leave her alone."

There was a bit of surprise in Xingxiong's eyes, as if he was saying why is your conscience back?

"It's not a big problem, let's take it away together."

Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair: "But I can't leave now."

"What's wrong with you?!"

Why is this guy acting like a mother-in-law? He is not happy at all.

"Since I agreed to be the registration clerk, I have to do this job. My reward will be on Yelena's head. Just give her more food and money."

Xing Xiong said abruptly: "You have a crush on her?"

Zhou Jinru denied it flatly: "How is it possible? Chen is my girlfriend."

"Humph, even if you have some self-awareness, any scum that falls into my hands will be put into a barrel and sunk in the Saiga River."

Xing Xiong is still so ruthless in the sitcom, Zhou Jinru's forehead is dripping with cold sweat. She is a ruthless person who does what she says, so she must be careful what she says.

after a while.

The work of registering and distributing food was carried out in an orderly manner. With Xingxiong personally in charge, no one dared to attack the warehouse of the vegetable distribution center.

Until evening, the work continued, but most of the inventory had been consumed, and the poor people waiting in line still couldn't see the end at a glance.

"Shift change."

Zhou Jinru was replaced by another temporary clerk in charge of registration. He rubbed his sore wrists and said seriously: "It's not an option to continue like this. There are too many people in need of food, and we can't get replenishment. When the inventory is exhausted, I'm afraid

There will be a humanitarian disaster."

Xingxiong glanced at him: "You know so many words."

"Is there already a way?"

Xingxiong nodded and said: "Just relying on a foundation is a drop in the bucket. My lady is contacting other families. More assistance will arrive in the early morning. This battle with the royal family is far from over."

Zhou Jinru frowned. He had not heard who the young lady from Xingxiong's family was, and the information revealed showed that the conflict had changed from aristocrats and commoners to aristocrats and royal families.

He found Yelena who was still in line from the crowd, and when he took her out, Miss Carters was very reluctant because she had been waiting in line for a long time. It would be a pity to give up like this.

"What you eat?"

Yelena asked.

Zhou Jinru then remembered that he had eaten a baked potato and drank a glass of warm water at noon. He had not eaten for several hours and was already hungry.

"I also have a roasted potato, why don't you eat it first?"

She took out a potato the size of a child's fist from her pocket and warmed it in her hand, which also made Zhou Jinru feel warm in his heart.

He asked back: "Aren't you hungry?"

"I haven't done anything, I'm not hungry."

"follow me."

"ah?"

Yelena's eyes widened, and the words spoken by the man in front of her made her freeze on the spot.

Zhou Jinru repeated: "Come with me, I will give it back to you after I eat your food."

Xing Xiong, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted: "You two, let's not have any drama about love here. Hurry up, we still have a lot of things to be busy with."

The steam car drove over, and Zhou Jinru stuffed Yelena into the passenger seat. He and Xing Xiong sat in the back. The eldest sister of the ghost tribe next to him had a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he wanted to find something out about him and Yelena.

"Zhou, don't you think this Miss Yelena is more suitable as a wife?"

Wow, Star Bear, don’t make a fuss here.

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but say shit in his heart, and said quickly: "Miss Yelena and I met by chance. She saved me, and I repay her kindness. It's that simple, don't go so far."
To be continued...
