Chapter 320: Panic of civilian players!
Hearing this, Lin Shi cast a suspicious look at He Peiqin.
The latter showed a trace of panic between his eyebrows, and said with a flattering look:
"I didn't mean to do that. I braked too suddenly and the old woman couldn't get up from under me, so..."
"So it was you who really hurt Grandma Cheng?" Lin Shi's eyes darkened and his tone suddenly became cold:
"According to Article 8 of the Shelter, players are not allowed to engage in private fights."
"Anyone who uses his innate abilities to harm others without authorization will be punished even more severely!"
"I will record your name. When we arrive at the shelter, you will receive your punishment yourself."
"Starting tomorrow, for a month, the food supply will be halved and the workload will be doubled!"
"What..." He Peiqin widened her eyes and prepared a lot of excuses, but she couldn't utter a word.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the bus window.
A thin young man waved at Lin Shi through the car window, his eyes showing surprise:
"Hey, Dashengshi, are you the bus driver today?"
"We can move forward now. The monsters have been dealt with and the road is almost cleared."
Lin Shi nodded slightly, with a completely different smile on his face:
"I was wondering why that flaming arrow looked so familiar. It turned out to be you, the monkey, who was on patrol. Did you get anything good?"
Ma Han put away the flaming longbow in his hand and smiled triumphantly:
"It's just so-so. I'll go to your place tonight and tell you in detail."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
As the brief exchange was about to end, He Peiqin quickly stood up from her seat, held onto the car window and called out to Ma Han.
"Teacher He?" Ma Han was stunned and curled his lips awkwardly.
Then he whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"It's really bad luck. She kept shouting that she wanted to leave, so why is she still staying in the shelter..."
He Peiqin could not see the disgust in Ma Han's eyes at all. She seemed to be grasping the last straw and said excitedly:
"Ma Han, please help the teacher and talk to this young man Lin."
"I really didn't mean to use my innate ability to hurt that damn old woman..."
"Dead old woman?" Ma Han was completely confused and glanced inside the car through the window.
It was not until Grandma Cheng was helped to stand up that he figured out what had just happened.
"Grandma Cheng? Teacher He, what did you just do?!"
Without bothering to return to the patrol team, Ma Han boarded the bus in two or three steps.
As Cheng Duoduo's classmate, Ma Han is naturally familiar with Grandma Cheng.
In addition, a few days ago, he learned the news that his grandfather was brutally murdered by the Sakura people.
Ma Han placed all his thoughts about his grandfather on Grandma Cheng.
Hearing that Grandma Cheng was injured was no less painful than hearing that my own grandmother was injured.
He didn't bother to hide his disgust and yelled directly at He Peiqin.
He Peiqin's face turned pale and blue.
She originally wanted to seek help from Ma Han by leveraging their past teacher-student relationship in the hope of avoiding punishment.
As it turns out, this goal has not only not been achieved, but has actually had the opposite effect!
"I, I didn't mean to do that. It's all because the bus braked suddenly..."
He Peiqin was powerless to argue.
The crowd was noisy, accusing one person after another:
"If you had given your seat to Grandma Cheng at the beginning, wouldn't everything have been fine?"
"Yeah, you only work two hours a day, and save the rest of your energy for grabbing a seat, right?"
"To be fair, Brother Lin Shi was a little hasty when he braked just now, but it shouldn't scare you to the point of activating your innate ability, right?"
"Everyone was holding onto the handles, so nothing was wrong. But you were the one who lifted Grandma Cheng up and threw her out, causing her injury!"
"I don't think this woman is a good person. She did it on purpose. She took advantage of the chaos to use her innate ability and maliciously hurt Grandma Cheng!"
"Yes, she did it on purpose! If she didn't do it on purpose, I would have committed suicide by swallowing feces right on the spot!"
"Your behavior is like eating and drinking for free! It is not recommended..."
"But having said that, Mr. He, you should stop struggling and accept the punishment. I'm not kicking you out of the shelter."
"Yeah, just eat less and work harder, it's just the right amount of time to lose weight for your big bod..."
The sound was so piercing that He Peiqin almost died of anger on the spot.
But she was outnumbered and knew she was in the wrong.
I could only swallow my anger and keep my head down in silence.
Seeing that He Peiqin stopped talking, Lin Shi patted Ma Han's excited chest and said half-consolingly and half-apologically:
"Okay, she will go back to the shelter and receive her punishment. I am also half responsible for Grandma Cheng's injury this time."
"I will inform the Patriarch and Cheng Duoduo about this once we arrive at the shelter."
Ma Han ignored Lin Shi and just looked Grandma Cheng up and down, asking her how she felt.
I breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.
However, Ma Han insisted on staying with Grandma Cheng for the rest of the journey.
This caused Lin Shi to have to spend some time talking to the patrol team.
Dusk falls.
The smell of food wafted through the shelter, and the bustling crowd carried their own food bowls and ate in batches.
In the past, this period of time was the most relaxing time for civilian players after a hard day's work.
In the cafeteria, which is not very spacious, they can temporarily forget the hardships of the outside world and chat happily like they did before the apocalypse.
Even though there were no delicious dishes, even though the food was just enough to fill my stomach.
But it is a great blessing to be able to return to a safe shelter alive and talk about what we have seen and heard during the day.
But today, things seem different.
Because the head of the Lin family is here.
During the meal break, the old man in his sixties issued a brief notice:
According to reliable sources, a rift explosion will occur tomorrow. In order to ensure the personal safety of civilian players, all production activities will be temporarily suspended.
As soon as this notice came out, it immediately caused a huge reaction among the crowd.
People were clamoring for their own safety, desperate to know whether they could survive tomorrow's rift eruption.
"It turns out that the rumors on the public chat channel are true. There will really be a rift eruption in the near future..."
"I also heard that during a rift eruption, the number and strength of monsters will increase dramatically! At first I thought they were joking..."
"Damn, the number and strength of the monsters will increase? Will our shelter be able to hold up?"
"Don't be afraid. We can fight monsters and guard the shelter. There's no need for civilian players like you and me to go out. The Lin family will handle it..."
"What the hell, there are only so many Lin family members. I heard they also have a shelter in Hangzhou. Shouldn't they send some people to help?"
"I heard that the shelters of other big families and big forces are all building fortifications, but our Lin family shelter doesn't seem to have any such idea..."
"Yeah, there's only a circle of barbed wire around our shelter. What's the use of it?"
