Chapter 639 - 663 Evacuation
"Ladies and gentlemen, please do not crowd. Let the elderly, women, and children board the boat first; men should board later!" The crew on the boat were very professional, trying their best to maintain order, but it was clearly having little effect.
Such chaos only served to slow the evacuation process, and it was not without danger. In just a short time, several people had already fallen into the sea.
Li Yifei furrowed his brow. If the situation wasn’t brought under control soon, there could be serious casualties. He gave Zheng Mingrui a look, and Zheng immediately picked up the Micro Assault Rifle he was carrying and fired several shots into the sky.
No matter how much the crew shouted, it wasn’t as effective as the sound of gunfire. People all around let out cries of alarm, and everyone was too scared to move.
Zheng Mingrui snatched a microphone from one of the crew members and bellowed, "Everyone follow the orders. If anyone dares to cause more chaos, I will blast them with a bullet."
Zheng’s stern approach seemed to work; the crowd around him settled down. Under the crew’s coordination, the elderly, women, and children were the first being arranged to board the boat.
"Let’s let our leaders board the boat first." At that moment, some provincial leader was trying to push through with the help of two escorts.
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and the person who had spoken took a misstep and fell to the ground, immediately clutching his thigh and crying out in pain.
"Fuck your grandma, what’s so great about leaders? Leaders should be the last ones right now, ensuring everyone’s safety during the evacuation. Otherwise, what’s the use of you being leaders?" Zheng Mingrui roared fiercely.
This statement resonated with everyone. Even though the people there were wealthy, as businessmen, they were often suppressed by the government. They frequently disapproved of these officials. It was bad enough that the officials asserted privileges on a regular basis, but now they were trying to use their status to be the first to escape by boat, which truly infuriated everyone.
