"Newcomers, line up over here!"
"Everyone, stay in line and behave! If you dare cause trouble, you'll be disqualified!"
Not far off, a long line had already formed. At the very front, staff checked IDs before handing out supplies to each person.
Nearby, a stern-faced, middle-aged man with a megaphone was shouting, directing newcomers on where to queue up.
Armed personnel stood on both sides of the line, maintaining order.
Food was of the utmost importance now, and the authorities worried that some people, driven by extreme hunger, would resort to desperate measures—like looting supplies!
That was why they were well-prepared for this distribution of relief supplies.
Mirefall was a huge city, so this wasn't the only distribution point. Each one had been set up in a densely populated area.
The residents of Stella Sterling's community were relatively fortunate, as they lived fairly close to this distribution point.
