Chapter 187 -186 The Grain Crisis Erupted (6)

The sharp and piercing sound of the alarm echoed throughout the entire City C.

It was the second time the citywide emergency alarm had sounded since the flood disaster began.

After facing numerous conflicts of all sizes for several consecutive days, the government and military finally decided to seek instructions from their superiors to begin a lockdown of City C.

City C was a small city with limited capacity. The population of one point one million couldn’t all be thrown into chaos, could they? Like other regions, if it turned into a place where sand disperses in all directions and becomes uncontrollable in the later stages.

The central government’s response was swift, agreeing that the military and government of City C should handle local affairs in collaboration while keeping in constant contact with the central government.

However, temporary relief stations were to be set up in the border areas, providing humanitarian aid to the disaster victims from other regions.

Tang Zelin and Qu Guo’an both believed this measure was the maximum safeguard for national security.

It seemed there were many places like their City C. Of course, those areas that could temporarily control the worsening situation had to be secured immediately to minimize the greatest losses. Then, they could concentrate their efforts on solving the most difficult places and problems. Only by focusing on the overall situation could they gather limited resources to restore ordinary people’s lives to a stable and calm state in the shortest time.

As long as social stability was maintained, other problems could be resolved systematically and effectively.

Twenty days after the flood disaster, City C entered a period of complete lockdown from the outside.

In the East City Area’s various relocation points, people were filled with trepidation.

Now, those who thought about going far away to relatives or returning to their hometowns after the disaster had their hopes dashed.

Those who had been looking forward to coming to City C to seek refuge with friends and relatives were extremely disappointed and could only wait anxiously outside City C, in Du County.

Su Shu had not seen Tang Zelin for many days, occasionally bumping into Political Commissar Qu Guo’an, who would speak a word or two.

“Miss Su, don’t worry, Old Tang will be back after he’s done with his work,” he said.

Su Shu asked, “He… his health hasn’t recovered yet, right? Is he okay?”

Mentioning Tang Zelin’s health, Qu Guo’an could only sigh.

“Old Tang’s temperament, sitting idly by with eyes wide open, he couldn’t bear it. But you don’t need to worry too much, he knows his limits.”

Having partnered with Tang Zelin for many years, Qu Guo’an understood him quite well.

The reason Tang Zelin had risen to his position at such a young age wasn’t just due to brute strength; it was his wisdom.

Managers were easy to find, leaders were rare.

And Tang Zelin happened to be the kind of leader who would not act impulsively, but rather gauge the situation accurately and act decisively, a rare caliber in the entire Provincial Military Region.

Qu Guo’an was fairly reassured.

Su Shu knew that Tang Zelin wouldn’t encounter any dangers during this period, but not seeing him return safely still made her anxious.

The atmosphere at the relocation point grew more oppressive; by this time, anyone who didn’t realize how bad the situation was had to be incredibly naive!

The city and various relocation points, large and small, totalled more than a hundred, combining both official and civilian self-rescue organizations.

Only one-third of these hundred-plus relocation points had official armed forces, the rest were populated by civilians who had come together spontaneously to collectively fend off the crisis.

And all these people combined were just a part of City C’s population.

Because City C was part of the national grain base demonstration area, half of the area underneath it was rural. After the disaster, many people fled to the countryside below which caused great pressure there as well.

One could say that potential dangers were everywhere.
