Chapter 789 Late Night Thief
The little leopard felt Potato's goodwill and its mood immediately improved.
It raised its head and called Tutu softly, "Thank you, brother, nice to meet you!" Then, it rubbed Tutu's fleshy little paws with its head.
I have to say that this little leopard is really good at things. Before he got into trouble, he already recognized Tudou as his big brother.
In this way, another "powerful general" was added to Li Luo's camp.
After asking Tudou and the others to take good care of the little leopard, Li Luo left the space alone and returned to the woods.
It was still a few hours before dawn, and she planned to go back and get some sleep.
When he returned to the factory where the large army was stationed and passed by the area where the survivors lived, Li Luo suddenly heard a rustling sound from one of the tents.
She subconsciously turned on her clairvoyance ability and looked inside.
I saw a man in his 40s sneaking out of his sleeping bag and walking towards the sleeping bag next to him.
He tiptoed to the side of the sleeping person, then carefully reached for the person's sleeping bag with both hands, and then began to rummage inside.
Not long after, he took out a small tin can from it.
Li Luo looked intently and found that what the man was holding was a box of canned beef.
This can was very familiar to her. It was the individual soldier rations they distributed to everyone yesterday.
Li Luo frowned and watched this scene. She originally wanted to remember the man's appearance and wait until dawn when everyone woke up to see how to solve the problem.
But as a face-blind person, she really couldn't remember a man's appearance in a short period of time.
After sighing, Li Luo walked towards the tent.
She came outside the tent and coughed lightly. She knew that the man was awake and must have heard it, but the man didn't react at all.
When Li Luo saw this, he lowered his voice and said, "I know you're not sleeping. Come out."
The man was startled when he heard the voice. He recognized the speaker as Li Luo.
His heartbeat quickened instantly, and his mind was filled with doubts.
He didn't understand why Captain Li suddenly appeared here at this time.
Could it be that what he just did was discovered by the powerful Captain Li?
There was a surge of fear in his heart, and he began to recall his actions just now, and whether he had left any clues.
The man clutched the sleeping bag tightly and did not dare to make a sound. He silently prayed in his heart that Li Luo just happened to pass by.
However, Li Luo, who had the power of clairvoyance, could clearly see every move of the man in the tent.
Seeing that the man didn't move, Li Luo frowned slightly and spoke again: "I'm talking about you, the one holding the can."
When the man heard this, he was shocked. His mind was in chaos and he didn't know what to do.
He originally thought that his actions were flawless, but he didn't expect that he would be discovered by someone, and he was discovered by Li Luo who saved them.
At this moment, the man's heart was filled with contradictions, fear and shame.
He knew he had done something wrong, but he was afraid of facing Li Luo's questioning and punishment.
He hesitated for a moment, but decided to pretend to be asleep, hoping to avoid this disaster.
At this time, Li Luo, who was outside the tent, said in a colder tone: "Do you still want me to go in and invite you?"
This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing the man's disguise.
He knew he could no longer escape, and the fear in his heart grew stronger.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the man did not dare to delay. He quickly climbed out of the sleeping bag and trotted out of the tent.
Li Luo watched the man walk out of the tent, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
She originally hoped that the man would come out consciously and admit his mistakes, but now it seems that he still chose to escape.
The man came to Li Luo and lowered his head, not daring to look directly into her eyes.
His hands were shaking unconsciously, and his heart was filled with uneasiness.
Li Luo looked at the man quietly and said in a serious tone: "I already know what you just did. Do you think it is right?"
The man's face turned pale, and he stammered: "I'm sorry, Captain Li, I... I'm just too hungry."
Li Luo frowned and said, "Being hungry is not a reason for you to steal. We are all trying to survive, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever it takes.
I know you've been through a lot before, and there may be no rules where you live. But I hope you understand that now you are a member of the shelter in City N. Although it is the end of the world, there are still laws and rules in the shelter. If you want to survive there, you must abide by these rules. "
The man lowered his head and said nothing, feeling his face burning. He knew he was in the wrong.
Seeing the man's ashamed look, Li Luo knew that he really knew he was wrong. She slowed down her tone and continued:
"I know that this period is difficult for everyone and resources are limited, but if everyone was like you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" Her eyes were firm and unquestionable, "Besides, if you don't eat enough, you will be completely You can just tell us and send you another one, why would you steal other people’s food?”
When the man heard this, he looked in disbelief and asked with trembling lips: "What? Captain Li, are you telling the truth? If you are not full, can you still receive food?"
Li Luo nodded slightly, expressing his affirmation.
The man murmured to himself: "I thought... only a fixed share would be distributed... because after I finished eating, I discovered that many people had kept part of the food distributed. Everyone said that after arriving at the shelter, Maybe no one will care about us, and we have to find ways to get food ourselves. Until then, there must be enough food to support us in finding a job, otherwise, we will starve to death..."
After hearing the man's words, Li Luo felt helpless, "Who said this?"
The man replied: "That's what everyone... said."
A trace of worry flashed in Li Luo's eyes. She realized that she had not introduced clearly and that everyone might still have misunderstandings about the situation in the shelter.
It seemed that we had to find a time after daybreak to introduce the details of the shelter to them, so that they would not have to think too much.
Taking a deep breath, Li Luo said to the man: "You have misunderstood. Think about it, the shelter has spent so much effort to rescue you, how could it just ignore it?"
And you, the rescued people, are new arrivals and have nothing. The shelter will provide you with free food and accommodation for a week.
I believe that during this week, as long as you don’t hold on to the idea of just eating and waiting to die, you will be able to find a suitable job in the shelter that can support yourself. So, there is no need to worry about survival at all. "
