Dispute in the city

"What is it, Mizushi?" she asked, concerned. "Supplies are rapidly running out. We have few fruits and vegetables, and freshwater is becoming scarce," said Mizushi, a worried tone in her voice. Laís nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

"We need to find a solution before the situation gets worse," she said, her expression determined. Mizushi believed and they decided to get together as a family to discuss what they could do. They sat around a small fire he had lit to cook the fish he had caught the day before.

"We can try to explore the forest even further in search of more food and water", suggested Laís. "Yes, it's a good idea. We can also try to build traps to hunt larger animals, like wild boar or deer", added Mizushi. Dagurasu, who was listening intently to the parents' conversation, said, "I can help build traps! I can be useful, Father!" Mizushi smiled at his son, proud of his determined spirit.

"Of course, my son, you can be a great help," he said, rubbing Dagurasu's head with his hand. Thus, Mizushi's family began to dedicate themselves even more to the search for food and water on the island.

They explored the forest in search of fruits, nuts, and roots, and also built traps to hunt wild animals. Over time, they were able to improve their diet by adding fresh meat, which helped alleviate food shortages during the dry season.

In addition, they also found a freshwater spring in the forest, which was hidden in a clearing. Mizushi and Laís began to regularly collect water from this source and learned how to purify it to make it safe for consumption. With a more balanced diet and access to clean water, the family's health improved and they coped better with the island's challenges.

Meanwhile, Mizushi was also dedicated to repairing the boat that served to reach the island. He spent hours working on the vessel, using his repair experience and sleight of hand to solve its problems.

He hoped that soon the boat would be ready for use again and they could find a safe route off the island and seek a better life in a nearby town.

Dagurasu also became a valued member of the team, helping his father with repair tasks and scavenging for food. He was always full of energy and willingness to learn new things, which made Mizushi and Laís very proud.

One day, while Mizushi was working on the boat and Laís was collecting water from the spring, Dagurasu decided to explore a part of the forest that he hadn't explored yet.

He ventured deeper into the dense vegetation, fascinated by the diversity of plants and animals he encountered along the way. The vibrant cores of flowers and birdsong enchanted him, and he marveled at the exuberance of nature around him.

As Dagurasu walked, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from a clearing ahead of him. He cautiously approached, curious to find out what it could be. To his surprise, he found a fountain of crystal-clear water gushing from a small waterfall. The water seemed to sparkle in the sunlight, inviting you to cool off.

Dagurasu approached the waterfall and felt a cool breeze on his face. He dipped his hands in the water, feeling its freshness and purity. He took a sip of the refreshing water and felt invigorated. There, in that peaceful clearing, Dagurasu found a special place, a haven in the middle of the jungle where he could relax and reconnect with nature.

He spent some time in that clearing, enjoying the beauty of the landscape and reflecting on the importance of preserving the environment. Dagurasu promised himself that he would do everything in his power to protect the forest and keep that special place untouched.

With a heart full of gratitude for the discovery of the waterfall and with a new understanding of the importance of nature, Dagurasu returned to the camp with enthusiasm. He shared his story with Mizushi and Laís, inspiring them to also protect themselves and the nature around them.

Meanwhile, in the city, the dispute between the gangs and the police was constantly evolving. Gangs, which operated underground and often had a network of influence and power, sought to expand their territory, control trafficking in drugs, weapons, and other illegal activities, and impose their authority on local communities.

On the other hand, the police, who had the responsibility of maintaining order and ensuring the safety of the population, were overstretched and often faced significant challenges in combating the criminal activities of gangs.

Gangs operated in an organized fashion, using aggressive tactics to intimidate and control the areas in which they operated. They often recruited young and vulnerable members, offering them a sense of belonging and protection, but also involving them in criminal activities.

This made the police's job even more difficult as they faced a highly mobilized and adaptable force, often with superior financial resources and weaponry.

The police, for their part, struggled to deal with the growing gang threat. They faced a number of challenges, including a lack of adequate resources such as staff, equipment, and training, as well as internal corruption, which often hampered their operations.

In addition, the police also faced community distrust and fear, which often made it difficult for them to obtain the information and collaboration needed to combat gang activities.

Clashes between gangs and the police were frequent and often violent. Shootings chase, arrests, and apprehensions were common events in the city's urban scene.

Violence often spilled over into local communities, causing fear and insecurity among residents, who found themselves trapped in this dispute between the gangs and the police.

In addition, gangs also sought to undermine community trust in the police, often spreading rumors of police corruption and abuse of power, which increased tension and distrust between the population and the security forces.

The situation became even more complex when there were internal disputes between the gangs themselves, resulting in more violence and chaos in the city streets. The rivalry between different gangs for control of territories and resources often resulted in armed clashes and bloody disputes, affecting not only those directly involved but also the general population.
