CHAPTER 38: GOSSIP

To be honest, most people will be busy looking for resources to sustain their lives in the early stage of the last days. After all, some people did notice something was wrong when they found out that their friends in other cities, or even in other countries, were also experiencing disaster.

Some of them were still able to contact other people in the early stage, allowing them to know the news outside.

But even if they tried to pick up resources, there was a limit to how much they could store it.

Besides...

They were all currently living under the big tent and only some people’s homes were still intact. Yu Shi Lan had already seen that her original apartment had been flattened because of the earthquake.

It was not known how many people managed to survive in the end.

Swish! Swish!

Xiao Mao watched as Yu Shi Lan practiced from morning to night, only stopping to settle food and natural problem before resuming the practice. With the help of the Qi, her weak body was slowly and surely adapting to this rhythm.

"Meow." At this rate, you will need around a month to repair your body to the extent of normal people, Master.

It was actually not that slow for cultivator, but if her body remained so weak for an entire month, there would be a chance that she would be taken advantaged or bullied by others during this period of time.

"It’s not fast enough." Yu Shi Lan stretched her hand and then sighed.

She shouldn’t be so impatient.

Being able to come back and survive after experiencing the tribulation was already good enough.

She had to be more patient.

The problem is, time waits for no one.

"Xiao Mao, what do you think if we go out there?" Yu Shi Lan asked as she cleaned up and went back to the shelter. Having the soldiers around meant that most people would not dare to make trouble.

She had seen some people being apprehended and then kicked out of the temporary shelter because they made troubles.

It seemed that some people were already quite restless even at the beginning of the last days.

"Meow?" What if you have to fight a few people at the same time?

Xiao Mao looked outside with worry.

"Xiao Mao, have you forgotten something?" Yu Shi Lan’s eyes flickered.

She’s a cultivator, someone who went against the law of the world in order to achieve immortality. The path of a cultivator will be filled with danger and perhaps, every single day would be a brush with death.

But they will continue to walk forward.

For their own ideals, dream, or many other reasons.

Xiao Mao looked at Yu Shi Lan’s face from the pocket’s edge and meowed once again, "Meow." If that’s what you want, then do it, Master. I’ll always accompany you.

Yu Shi Lan rubbed the cat’s head and nodded.

She’s still weak, but there were a few methods that could hasten her progress. The problem is that she would have to look for the resources needed.

For this... she had to go ’shopping’ in the ruins.

"Yu Shi Lan! You’re back!" Mu Ting Ye waved his hand when he saw Yu Shi Lan coming. There was a bright smile on his face. "Did you go out to find some resources?"

"Yes, but I didn’t go far," Yu Shi Lan replied.

"Eh, it’s better if you didn’t go too far away. You know, there are too many unruly people out there who will fight just for some water and food. It seems that the amount of resources needed is lacking," Mu Ting Ye shared what he had heard and see.

Apparently, there were a few people who were fighting and the others were simply watching the fun. They still had some resources in their hands, even if they were unwilling to admit it, so they didn’t think that it was necessary for them to fight.

Besides, many of them ’looted’ the supermarket and this kind of places along the way to the shelter.

So technically there were not many people who were lacking in food during this period of time.

"Only the lazy people will not have anything to eat." Mu Ting Ye’s face showed disdain.

If these people had been smarter, they would know that they could take some food temporarily from these supermarkets to survive. The matter of compensation and so on could be discussed afterwards.

"There are so many conflicts in a single day?" Yu Shi Lan’s expression looked a bit strange.

When she listened to Mu Ting Ye’s stories, she felt that there were so many things that happened in a single day, which was a bit strange.

Is it so common to have conflict in the early stage of the earthquake?
