Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 1028 - 1027: Wrath
Jiang Cheng sneered coldly, "These so-called gentlemen are all old foxes with years of experience, their minds are unfathomably deep, you simply cannot guess their thoughts with common sense."
Jiang Cheng continued, "Just now, I went to the place where we fought yesterday. It’s truly tragic there, and now it seems, to some extent, this is related to us as well."
Yanran and Lvluo exchanged a glance. They knew, of course, that in yesterday’s conflict with the Delma Team, hundreds of civilians died due to the team’s attacks. These civilians didn’t perish because they wanted to, but if it weren’t for their conflict with the Delma Team, these civilians probably wouldn’t have suffered such calamities."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go over there and have a look." Ba Lv, an impatient person, dragged Jiang Cheng and Yanran out of the hotel without saying a word.
As they were about to reach the site of the conflict, they felt a mournful atmosphere.
On the road, they saw many civilians, faces covered in dust and ash, their expressions weary, some women were wailing loudly.
More people were sitting by the roadside, surrounded by various scattered belongings, but from their perspective, these items clearly weren’t enough, they must have grabbed them in a hurry as they fled.
The closer they got to the incident site, the more tragic things became.
Before them lay a vast area of ruined buildings, and among the broken walls and debris, smoke and flames were still rising.
Many civilians walked among these collapsed structures, looking to see if they could find anyone still alive, while also searching for the bodies of the victims.
Not far from them stood a small square, now engulfed in the cries of the grieving; all the identified victim bodies had been moved to the square. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Those recognized by family members were taken away, but many bodies remained unclaimed, not because they had no relatives, or that the relatives hadn’t come to the scene.
However, claiming these bodies was simply too difficult.
The bodies were either incomplete, or completely unrecognizable; even their closest relatives might not be able to identify them.
Shi Su and his companions stood there silently, feeling uneasy in their hearts. If their stance yesterday hadn’t been so intense, perhaps they wouldn’t have brought such harm to these innocent people.
But saying anything now was meaningless, so what should they do then?
A little further away in the ruins, the presence of a survivor was discovered, drawing everyone’s attention. Jiang Cheng and Yanran, along with Ba Lv, also went over.
Amidst the pile of bricks and tiles, there was indeed one person still alive. People carefully cleared away the wood and bricks surrounding him before discovering that the man’s leg was tightly wedged between two massive rocks.
Although more than a dozen people tried to move the two stones, firstly, they were too heavy, and secondly, the stones were smooth and hard to grasp, so they couldn’t come up with a good solution at the time.
The injured person groaned in pain, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.
Due to the intense conflict last night, which caused these civilians to suffer, Jiang Cheng and his two companions felt deeply sorry and decided not to leave Delma Planet for now but to stay and see what they could do for the affected citizens to ease their inner guilt.
In the disaster zone, when they saw a civilian’s leg trapped between two large stones, the stones were heavy and incredibly smooth, making it hard to intervene - everyone gathered around the stones, but no one had a solution.
Such a scenario was a trivial matter for Jiang Cheng and his team.
Instinctively, they asked the citizens to stand back a little. Jiang Cheng extended his hand, gently lifting the stones from the bottom, and threw them far away.
The injured person pressed by the stones was finally freed, and the others expressed their gratitude to Jiang Cheng and his team, astonished by their immense strength.
Truth be told, Jiang Cheng and his companions felt genuinely ashamed, even though the harm to the citizens wasn’t their fault. It was clearly caused by the Delma Planet’s team, who disregarded these civilians, allowed the battle to escalate, and caused this tragic outcome through reckless attacks.
But after all, they were the opposing side in the conflict with the Delma Team.
Seeing these civilians suffer from an undeserved disaster, Jiang Cheng and his companions decided to stay and help them.
Since Jiang Cheng possessed powerful sensory abilities, he could easily detect if there was any life left in the ruined structures.
With his powerful sensory skills, he managed to find many people buried in the ruins. Without his intervention, it would be uncertain whether these people would have survived, making the citizens all the more grateful to him.
In addition, whenever any hard labor was required, Jiang Cheng was undoubtedly the best candidate. Even dismantling a whole building was trivial for him; if necessary, he could overturn all of Delma Planet without a problem.
As for Yanran and Ba Lv, they took on the roles of nurses. The civilians, to varying degrees, had injuries; those severely injured had been sent to hospitals, while those with lighter injuries were busy here, hoping to save their relatives or retrieve some useful items from their destroyed homes.
Yanran, having grown up on the harsh conditions of the Nameless Planet, was inevitably subject to various wounds from beasts, making treating minor injuries one of her skills.
Not to mention Ba Lv, born in the Dark World and constantly walking in it, being a killer, whether in inter-gang conflicts or carrying out tasks alone, she couldn’t avoid minor injuries now and then, so she could perform some simple treatments as well.
Moreover, Ba Lv carried a bank card with a massive amount of funds. This kind young lady, upon discovering that these disaster victims lacked temporary lodging and even food, used her own money to purchase a lot of supplies for them, preventing the civilians from having to sleep on the streets.
Tents were set up near the disaster area, each tent providing accommodation, along with baskets of bread and bottles of clean drinking water placed in appropriate places and distributed by a few healthy women.
In this way, with food, water, and shelter, albeit basic conditions and simple food that merely satisfied hunger, it was already more than enough for these victims.
