Luo Gang pondered over it and also felt that there was logic in what Su Shu said, so the Luo Family dropped the idea.
Seeing this, Su Shu let out a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that there was no chance to return home, just not now.
She had thought that the situation like that of the family opposite was an isolated case, but unexpectedly, her one night’s sleep was disrupted by waves of commotion at the shelter, with many people demanding to leave, leading to frequent conflicts with the government workers and military personnel.
Government personnel explained hundreds of times that there was still no danger alert issued for the disaster-struck areas and urged everyone to stay calm at the shelter, waiting for messages from their superiors.
But these well-intentioned words were interpreted by many as the government dragging its feet, with numerous voices asking, “What’s the meaning of not letting us go home when we want to?”
From a distance, Su Shu could see Tang Zelin standing in front of rows of soldiers, his face dark with anger.
Behind him stood a row of more than a dozen Special Combat Soldiers, fully armed and wearing sunglasses.
Surprised, Su Shu wondered, another group of soldiers?
To deal with civilians, you wouldn’t need Special Combat Soldiers, right?
Her question was soon answered.

She saw the leading officer among the group of Special Combat Soldiers whisper a few words to Tang Zelin, who nodded, pointed towards the headquarters in the southeast, and with a salute, the officer turned to lead his troops away.
Whereas the soldiers under Tang Zelin’s command stood firm like pines, solemn-faced, holding their ground.
When the government was managing, the military only had the responsibility to protect; only when the situation got out of the government’s control would they have the authority to deploy force.
These were the current rules of joint management at the shelter.
Tang Zelin continued to watch the crowd arguing in front of the government management office.
Because the military personnel around were maintaining order, many just complained more than usual, but did not take excessive actions. Su Shu thought that the staff wouldn’t hold out for long.
Sure enough, when Su Shu returned to her tent for a brief nap and woke up, she found many people packing their bags, big and small, ready to take home.
There was a rule at the shelter that if people decided not to stay any longer, the communal items must be left behind for others in need.
But while the rules stated this, not everyone followed them accordingly.
Some people, following regulations, left what should be left and took what they should; but others wouldn’t have it, trying every which way to take home the items distributed by the government. Some even wanted to take the military blankets contributed by the military personnel.
The staff members processing the paperwork were so angry that they grabbed megaphones and raised their voices to educate the crowd.
The soldiers themselves were covering with military coats, giving up their blankets for emergencies. Not receiving any thanks and seeing attempts to take military supplies was something the staff had not often seen; they yelled from noon until afternoon, so upset they couldn’t even eat.
When Su Shu heard Li Xiaoxia mention this, she didn’t react much.
Such matters were but the tip of the iceberg in life after the Apocalypse.
And what about those who looted and killed?
She couldn’t judge; in extreme environments, what people could become, even she didn’t know.
She only knew that she would do everything in her power not to become like that.
The shelter suddenly became much emptier.
This commotion led to nearly one-fifth leaving almost all at once.
Although it was just a fifth, the number of people was still considerable. These people dispersed outside were a hidden concern for the government, yet without any forceful orders from the higher-ups, the workers had no reason to stop them.
