As she had spoken, the person had nothing more to say.
“Come, everyone, listen to my instructions. Those who obey will get medicine. Those who cause trouble will be blacklisted.
Those who want to buy medicine, please queue up neatly on the left. Those with minor injuries, please come to the right to receive treatment first.
If you see someone with a severe injury who cannot move, please do not move them. Place this small flag on them and wait for a healer to rescue them. Those who help identify severely injured individuals and accompany them to be treated by ability users will receive a 20% discount on medicine.
You can choose to waste time here, or we can quickly clean up this mess and go home to take care of our families.”
Her voice was not loud, but it carried through the megaphone with great power.
Because her instructions were very clear and understandable, everyone complied without objection. The crowd that had gathered like ants quickly formed several neat queues within just 5 minutes.
Even around each severely injured person, several people stood obediently without touching them, enthusiastically contacting healers to come and treat them.
“Boss, I’ve brought reinforcements!”
Xiao Zhen also received Luo Xiao Le’s message and rushed over with several familiar healers to treat patients alongside Pi Jia Jia.
The scene became very orderly, a stark contrast to the chaotic surge of the crowd just moments before!
Unbeknownst to them, a group of reporters arranged by Zhou Kai Feng were already on their way, waiting to document the tragic scene and publish it in the base’s announcement and news for the day.
About an hour later, they arrived at the scene.
Excitedly running upstairs, they discovered that the wailing they expected from the shopping mall was completely absent, and there was no sign of chaos.
“Could it be… someone died? Did something big happen, that’s why it’s so quiet?” The reporters became even more excited, and they dashed upstairs with their equipment.
Upon entering the floor, they saw someone lying on the ground with a small flag placed on them.
Several burly men were gathered around, but the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
“Brother, are you feeling any better now?”
“Much better, brother. Thanks to you giving me that chocolate bar, I had the energy.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I apologize for everyone crowding you earlier~”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Once I’m healed, it won’t hurt at all~”
Watching the burly men comfort each other with such gentleness, even with soulful gazes, the reporters felt their eyes were about to go blind.
Where were the people? They were indeed injured, but they didn’t seem to care about their injuries.
What about the pharmacy? It was still selling medicine…
This was not the story they were supposed to cover!
The reporters exchanged glances and decided to make the best of it, setting up their equipment and beginning their interviews.
“Excuse me, did a serious accident happen here, and what caused it?” they attempted to steer the conversation.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Everyone lost their footing and stumbled. It’s no big deal.” The others’ answers were surprisingly consistent.
“And this pharmacy…”
The others looked at Xiao A Luo’s General Store with surprise. “It’s very good, very good. We can buy the medicine we want, it’s very convenient.”
“We heard that the owner here has had some controversial reviews before. What do you think?” the reporters pressed, unwilling to give up.
“Xiao A Luo? Kind and beautiful. What reviews, what controversy? I don’t know, I’m not familiar with it.”
“???” The reporters were at a loss for how to proceed.
“What should we do, supervisor? There’s really no stampede incident here… Although there are a few people lying on the ground, it’s still far from the scale of a stampede…”
The supervisor’s molars were grinding so hard they felt like they would break.
“What’s going on with Young Master Zhou… giving us false leads… Let’s retreat. We’re already swamped with reporting on the zombies today, we don’t have time to waste here. What bad luck!”
The supervisor quickly ordered his crew to pack up their equipment, and they rushed off to their next reporting location.
Luo Xiao Le watched the scene with a smile. Apart from a few injured individuals who hadn’t received treatment yet and were still lying on the ground.
Everyone else’s needs had been met, and they happily went home with their supplies.
“How is it? Does it still hurt? Can you bear it?” Luo Xiao Le sauntered over to the burly men who had been showing such tenderness earlier.
“No problem. It’s just a few broken bones. Thanks to the painkillers you gave me, I don’t feel anything now and actually feel quite energetic!” the severely injured person who had been surrounded said loudly.
“Mm, that’s good. The healers will be with you soon. You guys can come and buy medicine now. As per the rules, you get a 20% discount.”
“You got it!” The burly men were very excited and trotted along with Luo Xiao Le to buy medicine.
As for why they were so compliant…
Initially, others had gathered around the severely injured individuals with trepidation, afraid they would run out of medicine if they were too slow to buy…
But to their surprise, the queue for buying medicine was moving quickly and orderly. Not only was the transaction speed fast, but even the medical consultations were instant, and there was no sign of the medicine selling out.
Only then did everyone’s hearts finally relax.
They comfortably stayed by the side of the severely injured, guarding them, and even developed a bit of “revolutionary friendship” like the older brothers just now.
Seeing how Luo Xiao Le had so rationally and quickly managed the situation and solved a problem that would have given anyone a headache, all within a short period.
And that they could still buy the medicine they wanted at this time.
Honestly, it was impossible not to be impressed.
“Xiao A Luo, seeing how you’ve handled things today, I believe you’re not someone who would pocket money for yourself. After all, the medicine you sell isn’t expensive, there’s no profit to be made, hahaha.”
The burly men scratched their heads, feeling guilty about misunderstanding Luo Xiao Le based on mere hearsay. That was why they had defended her just now.
“Exactly. I don’t easily acknowledge anyone, but don’t worry, from today onwards, if you have any difficulties, tell us, and we’ll do our best to help you.”
“Don’t worry, if anyone gossips about what happened here today, I’ll be the first to object and tell the truth!”
Luo Xiao Le’s eyes curved into crescent moons.
“Alright, I’ll give you another discount next time you come, haha.”
“Thank you, boss!”
The men then asked Luo Xiao Le to pack them three days’ worth of food supplies and gathered around the severely injured person who had just been healed.
“Brother, you’ve survived this ordeal. You must come to my place for a drink tonight!”
“Let’s go, we won’t return until we’re drunk!”
…
By evening news time.
Zhou Kai Feng sat in his opulent private residence.
With a playful smile in his eyes, he turned on the base’s only news channel.
“Father, if you blame anyone, it’s you for not recognizing talent and not letting me manage the base. Then I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands.”
His mood was exceptionally pleasant, and he eagerly awaited the broadcast of the incident in the shopping mall today.
