Chapter 639 - 663 Evacuation
"Guests, please don’t crowd. Let the elderly, women, and children board first, and men after!" The staff on the ship maintained professionalism, trying hard to keep order, though with little effect.
This chaotic situation only slows down the evacuation and increases danger. In such a short time, a few people have already fallen into the sea.
John Brown frowned. If the situation isn’t controlled soon, there might be severe casualties. He signaled to Martin Miller, who quickly picked up his gun and fired a few shots into the sky.
No matter how loudly the staff shouted, it wasn’t as effective as the gunshots. People around were startled and too scared to move.
Martin Miller grabbed a microphone from a staff member and shouted, "Follow the instructions, whoever jumps the queue, I’ll shoot them."
Martin’s fierce demeanor proved quite effective, at least the people around calmed down. Under the staff’s guidance, the elderly, women, and children were allowed to board first.
"Let our leaders board first." At this moment, a provincial leader was being escorted to push through.
"Bang!" A gunshot echoed, and the person who spoke staggered and fell to the ground, clutching their leg, crying out loudly.
"Damn it, what’s so great about being a leader? At this time, leaders should stay behind to ensure everyone’s safe evacuation. Otherwise, what’s the point of being a leader!" Martin shouted angrily.
This resonated with everyone present. Even though they were wealthy, business people often resented government officials’ privilege. Wanting to prioritize themselves for evacuation angered everyone.
