The soldier's words stunned everyone. However, before they could open their mouths to protest, the soldier continued.

"They were able to survive the disaster and get supplies, that's what they are capable of. What does it have to do with you? We had received orders from the above to distribute relief supplies to all citizens of our country. As long as they are people of our country, they are qualified to receive the relief supplies."

After saying that, the soldier raised his gun and aimed it at the woman. He said coldly, "Stop making trouble here. Otherwise, I will deal with you according to law."

When the woman and others heard this, their whole bodies trembled. The current law was military law and not the law they had previously known. If they dared to make trouble, they believed that this young soldier would dare to kill them without blinking an eye.

The woman glared at Yao Ran with hatred, then looked at the soldiers and hysterically said, "But they did kill a lot of people! They are murderers!"

When the soldier heard this, he could only sigh in his heart, but his expression remained cold. In today's world, even the most law-abiding citizens can be driven to become murderers. If they needed to arrest everyone who committed crimes, more than half of the survivors would probably need to be jailed.

Thinking of this, the soldier looked at the woman and asked, "Do you still want to receive relief food?"

"But-"

The soldier's face darkened, and he interrupted the woman's words, "That's enough! If you don't want to receive the supplies, please leave immediately. If you are still making trouble here, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to live!"

When the woman saw that the soldier was serious, she was so frightened that she ran back to wait in line. From a distance, Yao Ran looked thoughtfully at the soldier.

Yao Ran and her friends started waiting in the morning and only received their share at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Before leaving, Yao Ran looked at the soldier who had dealt with the woman before and found that he was one of the three soldiers she had given medicine and masks to on the mountain before.

When the soldier saw her looking at him, he nodded to her as a greeting. Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded to him.

When she gave him and his teammates the medicine and mask, Yao Ran just wanted to repay them for helping them deal with a bunch of annoying people. She never intended to have any connection with the military or government.

However, after witnessing what happened in the morning and the soldier's attitude of treating everyone equally, Yao Ran began to reflect on herself.

'Is it right for me to stand by and watch these soldiers who had nothing to do with the Ark die? Perhaps, I can help them and get some information about the relationship between the government and The Ark.'

On the way home, Long Yu finds out that Yao Ran is deep in thought. Seeing her frown and serious face, he holds her hand to prevent her from falling while walking.

Arriving at Building 3, Long Yu and others said goodbye to Quan Yuanwei and the Sima family on the 19th floor and then went up to the 20th floor. Seeing that Yao Ran was still deep in thought, he led her back to her apartment.

He stood in front of her door and said, "Ran Ran, we are home."

Yao Ran's thoughts were interrupted when she heard him calling her. She looked around and found herself in front of her apartment.

Looking at her stunned expression, Long Yu smiled and said, "Go back to sleep."

Yao Ran was not sleepy when she was thinking before, but now that he said this, she yawned and nodded, "Alright. See you tomorrow, Long Yu."

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Remember to eat something first before you go to sleep."

"Mhm." Yao Ran nodded sleepily.

After she opened the door, she waved to Long Yu and went to her bedroom. Turning on the floor heating and the electric heaters, Yao Ran took off her thick coat and Arctic clothing. Sitting on the carpeted floor, she opened the bag distributed by the government and saw that the new rice was mixed with broken rice and some yellow rice. She picked some yellow rice, crushed it lightly, and easily broke it into pieces. These yellow rice must be salvaged out of the water and then dried.

Yao Ran then put the rice back into the plastic bag and stored it in her space. She has a lot of rice, and she won't eat this kind of mixed rice. However, she still keeps it since it might be useful in the future.

After a simple meal, Yao Ran went to the space for a quick bath. Then, she left her space, climbed into bed, and then fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. This time, she slept peacefully until the next morning.

Yao Ran had just finished breakfast when someone knocked on the door.

Seeing that it was Huang Zhihui, she asked, "Zhihui, do you need anything?"

Huang Zhihui smiled and said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, we are going to the trading market. Do you want to go with us?"

Yao Ran had spent all her cash in the department store before, and now she has no money. However, she is curious about the trading market.

In addition to money, they can also exchange things with merchants there. Even if she has no money, she can still buy things.

After thinking about it for a while, Yao Ran nodded, "Alright. Give me a few minutes to get ready."

Huang Zhihui smiled, "Then we will wait for you. See you later, Elder Sister Yao Ran."

"Alright."
