Chapter 300: Is There Any Justice Left?
The iron rod struck wildly which shattered the car windows.
“Bam!”
Even after hearing several gunshots, the thugs kept climbing onto the police car and there’s fighting everywhere.
Violence erupted completely as they overturned the police vehicle.
With a loud crash, the police car flipped over.
Several officers were dragged out, covered in blood.
Huo Yishen suddenly slammed on the brakes. “Chief Ling is inside.”
Jiang Ning was stunned. Without military threat, the thugs weren’t afraid of the police at all.
She hesitated. They could still leave now, but it meant these officers would die. Then a new leader would take over the police station. Would he… be as dedicated as Chief Ling?
Without Chief Ling, the report wouldn’t have been taken seriously, and the Dragon Slaying Society wouldn’t have been wiped out, possibly resulting in many deaths.
And twice, he had returned confiscated food to the people without keeping any for himself.
“Damn it, is there any justice left?”
Half-versed in criminal law, Rong Sanshao cursed, pulling out a weapon from his military coat.
Just as he was about to act, he noticed the two of them sitting still. He paused, “Should we pretend we didn’t see?”
With only three people, rushing out would be like walking into a lion’s den, not only failing to save Ling Bureau and the others but also risking their own lives.
Damn, too impulsive.
Just as he was about to put the gun away, Huo Yishen suddenly lowered the car window and aimed at the thugs swinging iron rods, pulling the trigger.
Damn, he was dead accurate, three consecutive headshots.
Rong Sanshao’s eyes widened in shock. If he had been a second slower, Chief Ling’s head would have been blown open.
The gunshots startled the thugs. Seeing a car parked nearby, they swarmed towards it like zombies.
No sooner said than done, Jiang Ning in the passenger seat ignited a fuel bomb, leaned out of the car, and threw it forcefully at the charging thugs.
The fuel bombs exploded; sparks are flying everywhere. Among the thugs, flames burst forth, accompanied by desperate screams.
The burning thugs writhed in pain, like headless flies; those who weren’t splashed by gasoline quickly backed away.
Rong Sanshao got out of the car, unbuttoned his military coat to reveal his weapon, and shouted with both hands holding the gun, “Come on, if you’re not afraid of death!”
Damn, not only were they all armed, they even had grenades.
They were in over their heads. Retreat, now!
The thugs instantly scattered like birds and beasts.
The three of them paid no attention to the burning thugs and quickly ran to rescue the officers with the police car.
They were lucky; they weren’t splashed with gasoline, but their injuries were severe, blood covering their bodies, all unconscious.
Thugs could emerge at any moment from the darkness. The three didn’t dare to hesitate, quickly loading the four injured officers into the car.
Stepping on the gas, they raced towards the residential area.
Huo Yishen drove, while Jiang Ning concentrated on watching the road ahead.
As they approached a turn near the residential area, she suddenly warned, “Careful, there’s a roadblock ahead.”
It was a spike board.
The thugs must have expected the car to return and laid down the spike strip to wait.
Luckily, the road was wide enough, and there was only one strip. Huo Yishen drifted and swerved past it.
Rong Sanshao was nearly shocked speechless. Impressive.
They returned safely to the residential area, driving to the security office. Jiang Ning called out to the patrol on duty, “Quick, lend a hand.”
They carried the injured officers to beds. Jiang Ning instructed them to warm up the rooms and boil water. Then she looked at Rong Sanshao, “Do you have any medicine?”
“Yes.”
When he had previously searched those households, he had found some scattered medicines, but it wasn’t nearly enough. He quickly called the steward on the walkie-talkie to bring more over.
Including Chief Ling, all the police officers were seriously injured, but luckily, their bulletproof vests had protected their vital areas. They had multiple cuts on their hands and feet.
Uncertain if the rioters’ blades were rusted, Jiang Ning spoke again, “Do you have tetanus vaccine?”
Guan Shu didn’t have it, so Rong San Shao went to fetch it personally.
The Rong family had it; when they first received news of the disaster, Rong Laoye arranged for a lot of medicine to be stocked up.
Upon learning about Chief Ling’s injury, the Rong family, wanting to maintain their relationship with the authorities, agreed to provide it, and it was even imported.
However, it had been four years since the disaster, so even if it was well-preserved, it had expired.
While Jiang Ning was giving them first aid and suturing, she switched the tetanus vaccine when the Rong family wasn’t paying attention, “Now we can only try, if we’re lucky, there might not be any adverse reactions.”
She stealthily replaced it with her own stock from her space.
Rong Laoye asked, “Are they in danger?”
“Excessive bleeding, but there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Considering the situation, Rong Lao Ye quickly said, “The security room is too crude; I’ll arrange for Chief Ling to stay at the Rong’s. I’ll make sure someone takes good care of him.”
Having lived two lives, Jiang Ning could easily see through his intentions, “Alright, then I’ll trouble Rong Laoye; contact me if there’s any problem.”
As long as Chief Ling and the others received the best care, she didn’t care much about worldly affairs.
If they could maintain a good relationship with the authorities, perhaps the community could benefit as well. So, why not?
Chief Ling and the others were arranged to stay at the Rong’s villa.
Jiang Ning was exhausted because of this trouble. She took her share of black moss and went back to the villa with Huo Yishen to rest.
The car was stained with blood, and it took them a lot of effort to clean it up.
Turning off the lights, lying in bed, her mood was anything but calm.
With madmen like today, if there were more waves to come, the police station would inevitably be overwhelmed sooner or later.
Ultimately, it was because there were too few military and police personnel. Even if they worked tirelessly, they couldn’t keep up, while the rioters seemed endless.
Jiang Ning even wondered if things would have escalated to this level if there hadn’t been an early warning to the authorities.
Of course, she admitted she was being extreme.
“Don’t overthink it. Without the warning, not only the rioters, but also the military, police, researchers, and many innocent survivors would have died.”
Things were a bit chaotic now, but the authorities would find a way to deal with it.
Sure enough, the authorities soon had a plan.
Relying solely on the military and police was not enough; everyone had to act together.
The authorities divided the areas, going into every building, implementing grid management.
Area defense coordinators, community managers, building supervisors, everyone had to unite to protect their lives and resources.
Any sighting of rioters immediately raises the alarm, and the community would encircle the area.
Everyone had flesh and blood; no one wasn’t afraid of death. But waiting for the military and police to save them meant handing over their lives to others.
At first, they might be afraid, but once pushed to the edge, even rabbits would bite, let alone survivors who had nothing to lose but their lives.
In addition to uniting the people, the authorities implemented a high reward system. Anyone who reported rioters and had it confirmed would receive a hefty reward.
One rioter was worth half a catty of grain, and the more confirmed reports, the greater the reward.
Don’t underestimate half a catty; with rioters roaming in groups, ranging from a dozen to hundreds, if lucky, one wouldn’t have to worry about survival supplies.
If a rioter was caught and handed over to the military and police, the reward would be 2 catties of grain per person.
Wow, this could even become a business?
Those whose supplies were looted; starving survivors quickly formed teams. Starving to death was death, being hacked was also death, but what if lucky enough to catch a rioter?
It was a matter of life and death, so why not give it a try!
