Rumors are stronger than tigers.
Ever since there were rumors that the official grain bank had over-issued grain stamps, the grain stamps would be devalued and turned into useless paper.
In just three days, the entire Xibu City began to fall into chaos.
There was an atmosphere of panic everywhere.
A large number of survivors blocked the door of the grain store, holding food stamps and shouting to exchange for food.
Although the official response was extremely quick and they issued successive announcements to clarify that the rumors were not true, they had little effect.
People's emotions are easily infected by the same kind of people, which is called herd mentality in professional terms.
When they saw the crowds surging and shouting to redeem their food stamps, the survivors who had originally adopted a wait-and-see attitude couldn't hold back and joined the crowd.
In this way, the snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger.
The number of survivors of the run is also increasing, reaching tens of thousands.
Where the grain store is located, the entire East Street is packed with people.
Survivors from all walks of life, including mercenaries, traders, coolies, and street girls, took out the food stamps they had saved at home.
They were all in a frenzy, shouting hoarsely, and demanded that the food bank cash them in as soon as possible.
A wave of bank runs has taken shape.
All the officials can do is open warehouses to release grain.
"Everyone, please don't crowd.
Line up one by one.
Officials have enough food in stock.
I guarantee that each of you can exchange it for food."
Geng Wensheng stood at the gate of the grain store, holding a loudspeaker and shouting over and over to the surging crowd.
As a member of the West Port Management Committee and the president of the Grain Bank.
He has not slept for three days and three nights, sticking to his post and doing his best to quell the run.
On both sides of the grain store's gate, there were more than thirty Dongfeng Warriors, all lined up neatly.
There were teams of armed police officers and soldiers in the car, eyeing the crowds with guns in hand.
Ten meters in front of the door, there is a red line drawn with paint.
Although the crowd was rushing, no one dared to cross this line.
The reason is that there are thirty or forty corpses lying on the ground within the red line.
They were dressed like survivors in the city.
Their bodies were covered in holes and the blood from their wounds had turned black.
They had obviously been dead for a long time.
These survivors were all shot to death by armed police officers.
Just yesterday, the crowds were overwhelming.
Some couldn't bear their temper and even made noises to cause trouble, trying to attack the grain store and seize supplies.
As a result, officials were already prepared.
Five hundred armed police officers and soldiers with live ammunition arrived.
Without saying a word, they opened fire, killing and wounding hundreds of people.
Important Codes for Troubled Times Officials killed chickens to scare monkeys, and the results were achieved.
Although the crowd did not disperse, no one dared to violate the official rules and began to line up in an orderly manner to enter the grain store to exchange supplies.
Although order was restored, the run continued.
The current reserves of food are only enough to cope with the weather.
This is the result of many merchants in the city secretly supporting official financial institutions and trying their best to buy back food stamps.
Otherwise, these three days and nights of running frenzy would have been enough to exhaust the grain bank's reserves.
At first glance, there was a huge crowd of tens of thousands.
A flash of worry flashed in Geng Wensheng's eyes.
He knew in his heart that these survivors were just the other side's pathfinding stones, and the main event was yet to come.

Sihai Tower.
Next to the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, Long Sihai put his hands on his back, looking down at the direction of East Street.
Seeing the dark crowd, his handsome face unconsciously showed a faint smile.
He likes this feeling of being superior.
I like to turn my hands to become clouds and turn my hands to become rain.
He prefers to manipulate people's hearts and influence the general trend.
He, Long Sihai, was destined to be the strongest among ten thousand people.
This is true before the end of the world, and it will be true after the end of the world.
Familiar footsteps came from behind.
Long Sihai knew who was coming without even turning his head.
"How is the situation?"
he asked lightly.
Hua Manli arrived and looked at the man's tall back, with a flash of fear in her eyes for no reason.
“Everything went well”
She calmed down her emotions and said slowly: "So far, basically all the survivors in the city have been mobilized, creating a frenzy of tens of thousands of people running and blocking the gate of the grain store."
"I'm not asking that" Long Sihai interrupted loudly, turned around slowly, with sharp eyes, and said word by word: "These ordinary people are irrelevant, I am asking about other businesses in the city."
"The social gathering held by Liang Shaoping three days ago has achieved some results.
So far, nearly 30% of the merchants in the city have launched a campaign to buy back food stamps."
Hua Manli immediately reported the key points.
She knew that the man in front of her who looked polite and gentleman-like actually had the opposite personality.
He was cruel and ruthless and would make her life worse than death if she didn't get what she wanted.
"But their repurchase efforts are limited.
Only three companies, Jiuding, Xueji and Jinxin, repurchase about 300,000 kilograms of food stamps every day, which relieves a lot of pressure on the official grain banks."
After hearing this, Long Sihai snorted coldly: "Jiuding was originally an official property.
It's not surprising that we tried our best to buy it back.
But the old man from the Xue family and Jin Xin's Iron Rooster ignored my warning this time and chose sides to help Liang Shaoping.
Hmph?"
, I will settle this account with them sooner or later."
At this point, he specifically asked: "Where is the person named Li?"
Hua Manli said quickly: "His business is also buying back food stamps.
However, there is an announcement outside the gate that the daily limit is 100,000 kilograms of food stamps, which is not a large amount."
"Well, this guy is pretty smart."
Long Sihai nodded, turned around and walked towards the desk, took out a password box and handed it to Hua Manli: "Go to Fengshou Trading Company and bring me a message to the boy named Li.
As long as he continues to remain neutral, the benefits I promised Nothing will be missing” After hearing this, Hua Manli hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Master Long, now that the situation has been established, even if there is one more Harvest Trading Company, it will not affect our plan, why do we still give him such a big deal?"
benefit" A woman's view Long Sihai glanced at her and said calmly: "Do you think I care about his family background?
A newly established trading company, no matter how good the business is, how much material reserves can it have?"
Walking to the window, Long Sihai looked far into the distance.
After a long time, he said again: "What I value is him and his group of subordinates."
Hua Manli turned around and left without asking any further questions.
Just when she walked to the door, she suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped.
"Master Long, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you.
The official army has been mobilized frequently in the past two days.
According to reports from informants, at least a thousand of them left the city and headed towards Wujiang Town."
"knew" Long Sihai waved his hand.
Afterwards, Hua Manli retreated.

"I want to clear Wujiang Town to obtain supplies.
Liang Shaoping, you are in a hurry and seek medical treatment.
Mr.
Long will not let you get what you want."
After Hua Manli left, Long Sihai had a sinister look on his face and muttered to himself.
At a certain moment, he shouted two words: "Shadow" Something strange happened.
A shadow actually appeared on the wall not far from him.
A thin looking figure.
"Go to Wujiang Town and have a look.
If Liang Shaoping really takes action, try your best to stop it."
A sharp light flashed in Long Sihai's eyes.
The strange figure seemed to be a living thing.
He nodded towards Long Sihai, then slowly faded away and disappeared.
