Within the crowd, a sense of panic and unease began to spread.
"Let's wait a little longer!" someone exclaimed, "The officials have said they wouldn't abandon a single citizen at any time! Let's just wait!"
"Yeah, maybe they went to pick up people from other places first, we should keep waiting!"
"At times like these, Old Liu, stop deceiving yourself!" someone sneered nearby.
"Exactly!"
"I'm trying to comfort everyone with good intentions! What cold words are you saying!"
"Who needs your good intentions at a time like this!"
"..."
Immediately, voices of arguing and the sounds of scuffling and fighting were heard.
Many times, it takes just a second to go from hope to despair.
From peaceful unity to tearing each other's faces off is also a matter of moments.
Jiang Yan listened for a while, glanced at the water, and decided to go home first.
Unexpectedly, the crowd waiting in line for the boats in the staircase hadn't diminished over time; instead, it had grown.
