SRTT Chapter 40.3

Ruan Ning pondered for a moment: “Mom and Dad, you stay at home. I’ll go over and take a look.”

Zhou Sulan immediately said, “No! It’s so chaotic there. What’s the point of you running there?”

Ruan Ning comforted her, “I’m just going to take a look. If there’s any problem, I’ll run away immediately. And don’t worry. I have a gun to protect myself.”

Zhou Sulan was still worried and held her daughter’s right hand: “Ruan Ning, this matter has nothing to do with us, and this is a virtual world. Everything here is destroyed, but our original world is still fine. No antiques will be lost, and the books are also fine.”

Ruan Ning smiled: “Mom, of course, I know what you mean.”

“I’m not going there to die. I’m just going to take a look. What are you thinking? Moreover, I have a hunch that I can get something good there.”

Zhou Sulan doubted: “Really? Do you promise to hide aside and not get involved in anything?”

Ruan Ning: “I promise. I really just went to take a look.”

She thought about it, took out a set of clothes she wore when she went out, and smeared firewood ash on it so that it could no longer be seen in its original appearance.

Her face and hair were also dirty.

After finishing, Ruan Ning gave the two of them a few words, then went downstairs, and left.

The distant mountains were indeed far from here. Ruan Ning did not stop, and it took her about half an hour to reach her destination.

At this time, there were not many people at the foot of the mountain.

Only then did she hide away to replenish her energy, eat some high-calorie chocolate and potato chips, and head toward the mountain.

It was almost two o’clock when she reached the top of the mountain.

The mountain was full of people, probably more than 1,000.

Ruan Ning secretly took off her scarf, put her hands in her pockets, and quietly blended into the crowd.

Only then did she realize that some of the people who came were from the disaster relief camp, and there were also quite a few ruthless people scattered outside.

The people who stood in the front and made trouble were all bullies with knives in their hands.

The troops from the disaster relief camp had not arrived yet.

The door of the library was closed, and there was no movement inside the walls.

Ruan Ning walked around the crowd with her head down and heard all kinds of people talking.

Some people suggested that they should just break in, grab the books, and run away so that there would be no way to track them down later.

Some people asked why they had to run away. Such a good place should be used for living.

Why should they leave so many incendiary materials unused and squeeze into a gymnasium?

They should have moved here directly. It was much more spacious.

Some people were timid and wanted to retreat.

“If we wait any longer, there will be more troops coming. They have guns.”

“What if they have guns? Are they going to shoot us? We just want to survive.”

Ruan Ning was observing the situation when someone in front of her suddenly said, “Everyone, be quiet! Be quiet!”

Ruan Ning looked over and saw a big man standing at the door of the library, shouting, “Be quiet and listen to me.”

The crowd gradually quieted down.

“I know you think our behavior today is wrong. If it were before, I would also support protecting our culture.”

“But think about it, how many people have died now? How many of your parents, grandparents, daughters, and sons are still alive?”

“If the people are gone, what’s the point of keeping these books?”

The big man was not illiterate and spoke fluently: “So, today we must break into this library. The books, bookshelves, and wooden buildings inside are our hope for survival.”

This statement made sense, but it also didn’t make sense.

There were still so many frozen dead trees on the mountain, and there was still a world under the ice that had not been excavated.

Ruan Ning shifted her gaze away from the big man. She wanted to see everyone’s reaction, but unexpectedly, her eyes met Chu Dingfeng’s.

She discovered Chu Dingfeng.

Chu Dingfeng also saw her, with a murderous look on his face.

Ruan Ning said ‘F*ck’ in her heart, silently put her hands behind her back, and then put the copy bracelet on her right wrist.
