On the 25th, the Second Star communication had been interrupted for three full days. It was obvious that the line failure could no longer be concealed. Residents came out of the air-raid shelters where they had previously been hiding.

"md I have been suffocated for so many days. Those cowards above are just as timid as rats. They have been underground for so many days. I am not a rat. Anyone who has the patience to live in a hole all day will be beaten to death." Just die, I will never go to the air-raid shelter again..."

"Isn't it true that we have been trapped in that dark place for so many days, lacking food and clothing, and we have scared ourselves to death before the M Star people come to attack us."

At first, it was just a few people who ignored the ban. Later, the problem of circuit faults in Jersey persisted, and the air-raid shelters were dark and stuffy. More and more people came out of the air-raid shelters and moved home.

These days, there are a lot more pedestrians on the street, and there are also more people blocking roads and robbing people.

Now there is no place to buy supplies in Jersey. After all, there are still people in the air-raid shelter. Even if they covet other people's food, they don't dare to do it blatantly. Now that they have come out of that ghost place, they no longer have such scruples. Let's start from the air-raid shelter. Those who came out stayed nearby, waiting for an opportunity to rob those who had just come out.

The location of the main star camp was far away from residential areas, and Yu Rong had been spending his time in the swamps. It was only today that he discovered something unusual.

Yu Rong took Huo Du out of the camp and saw a few gangsters along the way. Their eyes were full of malicious intent, but they never came close to them. I don't know because they didn't look like they had food on them. Or maybe it's because Huodu seems like he's not easy to mess with.

It's a mess, Jersey is a mess.

Yu Rong's heart dropped. There is no cohesion in Jersey today. What everyone thinks about is not how to resist foreign enemies, but how to fill their stomachs for a short time. They can even steal and rob for this.

Originally, I wanted to persuade Yili to recruit a large number of troops to fight against the M planet. Regardless of whether Jersey has the economic strength and material reserves to continue recruiting troops, Yu Rong would not dare to use such troops even if they were recruited.

While Yu Rong stood hesitating on the street for a short while, Huodu had already used his eyes and arm muscles to scare away several people who were trying to rob.

Huo Du felt that it was too unsafe for them to stand on the street like this. After all, he could not hold his own with both fists. This officer seemed to have less than half of the combat power of a man. If those gangsters swarmed up, he would probably be able to protect the officer. Very difficult.

Seeing that Yu Rong was stunned, he reminded him, "Sir, let's get down to business first."

Yu Rong was brought back from her thoughts by Huo Du's reminder. She nodded, "Let's go."

The destination of Yu Rong and Huo Du's trip is Dandan's house.

The address was given by Puda before. Yu Rong had been there several times, but no one was home. At that time, the entire Jersey City was empty of all ten rooms. The Dandan family must have hid in a safe place. They asked the Jersey royal family to help search, but there was no news.

Now that there was a widespread power outage in the capital of Jersey, most people took the risk and went home, so Yu Rong planned to go to Dandan's house to try his luck again.

The doorbell rang for a long time, but there was no response. Yu Rong put his ear to the door, but there was no movement in the house. It seemed that the Dandan family had not returned yet.

Huodu knocked on the neighbor's door to ask if he knew the whereabouts of the family, but after knocking on three or four houses, he clearly heard the footsteps of the neighbor's house, but no one answered, pretending that no one was at home.

After knocking on several houses in succession, Yu Rong sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back. People's hearts are unpredictable now. It's understandable that people are defensive and dare not open the door." Yu Rong thought in his mind, and Yili's side also kept saying We couldn't find it, either in the air-raid shelter or at home. Perhaps Dandan and his parents had left the second star in the spaceship early in the morning. After a trip out but with no success, Yu Rong and Huo Du took a long detour to the commercial street.

There used to be a few people doing food business on this street, but now the world is so chaotic that even walking on the street in broad daylight can be robbed, not to mention that food is in such short supply. Presumably, even if there was food, merchants would not dare to set up stalls. Yu Rong did not have much hope in this and just wanted to try his luck.

Before I turned into the commercial street, I saw a long queue from a distance. I couldn't see the end of it, and I didn't know what these people were waiting for.

Yu Rong glanced at Huo Du. Huo Du understood and walked forward to ask the people in line, "Brother, what are you waiting for?"

The people waiting in line were holding two empty bags in their hands, "White noodles, they are all white noodles, and it is said that there are also a small amount of potatoes. You just came out at this time, where can you buy things? I came out to line up at 8 o'clock in the morning. I haven’t bought it yet.”

The people behind heard the conversation here and came over to interject, "I came out late today. I blamed my unlucky child. He started crying early in the morning, otherwise I would have been here. I heard that he was here yesterday morning. It’s sold out, I’m lucky it’s not sold out at this point today.”

Yu Rong wondered in her heart, didn't Jersey already have no grain? Even the inventory in the hands of grain merchants would not be such a large inventory.

However, Yu Rong was not concerned about the source of the food. She was more concerned about how to stock up on enough food from grain merchants to last more than a hundred people for a month.

Yu Rong and Huo Du walked along the line. They walked for about 5 minutes without seeing the end of the line. From time to time, there would be quarrels in the line because a few people were caught jumping in line.

After walking for another 5 minutes, we finally saw the end of the line, before Yu Rong and Huo Du could step forward.

"Oh, sold out again..."

"No more today?"

After a commotion, after learning that all the food was sold out today, a long queue gradually dispersed. Yu Rong remembered the name of the store owner and called Kaz directly after returning to the military camp. "There are a lot of grains sold in the commercial street to the east. It's not convenient for me to show up. You can help me inquire tomorrow and see if I can buy in bulk."

"Leave it to me for the little things." Kaz agreed immediately, "How much do you want?"

"It's about a thousand kilograms. If the price is right, the more the better. If the other party doesn't have that much, buy as much as you can for less than a thousand kilograms." Yu Rong said.

"No wonder the canteen has reduced its supply in the past two days. I guessed that you must not have enough logistics supplies. Now it seems to be true." Kaz suddenly realized.

"This matter must be kept secret. You must come up with a reason to purchase it in your own name. Don't reveal that it is for the purpose of collecting food for the main star garrison." Yu Rong instructed.

Kaz nodded his head twice with his fingers, "It's about stabilizing the morale of the army, I understand!"

Kaz suddenly remembered something when he turned to leave. He reminded: "But we can't hide this matter. The food in the cafeteria can barely keep us from being hungry. Everyone is not a fool. I guess they have already guessed something. …”
