Chapter 313: The Plague Spreads
The Eagle Nation is a country with a lot of crisisism. Because of social problems and so on, there are many gun killings in this country. And talk about the end of the earth and the like is very marketable in this country.
The nerves of the Eagle Nation are very nervous, and once some possible wind and grass happens, they will desperately hoard all kinds of supplies. This includes all kinds of emergency food, water, batteries, flashlights, and more.
This is a very common habit in the Eagle Country. Because the government has been slow to rescue after several hurricanes, many people have had to rely on their own reserves to get by. The government's relief facility was a disaster, with sewage overflowing, rape and food grabbing.
Therefore, any Eagle Country that has a little idea will frantically hoard supplies when there may be a disaster.
Next block to Chinatown is a large supermarket that opens the market. It is a comprehensive supermarket with a maximum passenger flow of 7,000 people in an instant. The average number of customers received per day is nearly 80,000.
But even a large supermarket with such a large capacity is still overcrowded. All the people of the Eagle Nation crowded into the supermarket like crazy, sweeping the shelves of drinks, batteries, and food into their shopping carts.
The long queue at the checkout stretches like a long dragon with no end in sight.
The first thing to be bought out is all kinds of emergency food, because in the crisis that may come, emergency food is undoubtedly the best and most convenient food to store. Wild emergency food is small in size and high in calories, and has an ultra-long shelf life, generally three to five years.
Then there are all kinds of canned foods and bagged convenience foods. If you can, you try not to opt for frozen food, because no one knows when the power will go out. Instant noodles and bagged bread are the best options.
By the time these were all sold out, even the deli section of the supermarket was swept away. Cooked food in the supermarket is the best choice, not that the cooked food in the supermarket is not delicious. In fact, Costco's cooked food, even if it is made like junk food, is better than most of the Eagle Country's own cooking. But cooked food has a short shelf life, usually only a few days.
There is also a variety of drink areas, juices, sports drinks, cola, tea and water are swept away. For many Eagle Nation people, drinking water or drinking Diet Coke is the same. It's like a 300-pound black girl's shopping cart full of Diet Coke. In her words, "Diet Coke is a healthy drink because it's low in sugar. ”
There are also various drinks as well. People who drink sports drinks for a long time don't actually exercise. People who drink a variety of fat-burning teas have a meal of barbecue and fried meat. The ice cream in the supermarket has also been sold out, and the ice cream in the Eagle Country supermarket is generally 500 grams per box, which is the standard amount of the Eagle Country people.
In order to make the people of Eagle Country eat healthier, many manufacturers have launched low-calorie ice cream, and a box of 500 grams only has 200 calories. In this way, the people of Eagle Country can eat two boxes of healthy ice cream at the same calories as one box of traditional ice cream!
The hardware supplies area in the supermarket has also been snapped up, regardless of whether it will be used or not, almost every member of the Eagle Country has a set of power tools and hardware tools, anyway, they are very complete, but they may not have really been used in their lives.
In short, the rush to buy continues, and everyone is rushing like crazy. And such a rush to buy is bound to cause contradictions. Because supplies are limited, and there are too many people.
When the materials are still abundant, everyone can still queue up sensibly to check out, but what about the materials when they are gone?
Darwinian fervent Rick was also planning to stock up on a wave of supplies, and it was late when he arrived at Costco. Most of the things that can be bought are gone.
The bread is gone, the biscuits are gone, the drinks are gone, and even the metal wrenches are sold out. The only thing left is all kinds of appliances.
"Shit. "Rick is grumpy because he can't buy anything right now. And he also discovered that he was also a believer in Darwinism, his good brother Nick. Nick, a black strong man, also looked deflated, because he was also late, and the shopping cart was empty, except for two packs of bear biscuits to garnish.
"Hey!Nick!" Rick beckoned to Nick, "Brother, are you here too?"
"Yes, stock up on some food. I'm running out of food at home. Nick nodded, "But it doesn't look like I can buy it." ”
Rick glanced at the crowd of people who were rushing to buy, "What to buy?!can't we buy it, don't we have any other way?" Rick patted his waist, and Nick understood what he meant.
There was chaos in Costco's parking lot. Sonny, who just graduated from LA University, and his girlfriend Amy are moving boxes of supplies to their car.
"We're going to hurry, we're going to be back by noon. "Sonny and Amy were driving an old Chevrolet pickup, and they bought a lot of food and drink, just like the rest of the Eagles.
"Hey, leave things behind. Just as the young boyfriend and girlfriend were starting to move, Nick and Rick arrived. The two of them were not polite, and pulled out their guns and pointed them at them.
Sonny was so frightened that he let go, and two boxes of apples fell to the ground.
"Hand over everything. ”
When it comes to robbery, Sonny and Amy, two students who have just graduated from college, are at a loss.
"Move everything back to the cart. Rick pointed a gun at the two men.
Sonny had no choice but to move things back to the cart one by one. As Amy moved, she begged, "This is a month's worth of living, can you leave us something?" ”
Rick and Nick didn't speak.
When things were almost moved, Amy left a box of mineral water and a few boxes of bread without permission.
"Hey, when did I agree to keep your stuff?!" Nick yelled, the gun loaded.
Sonny looked at his girlfriend with his hands up, "Give it to them, Amy, give it to them." ”
Amy cried: "Please, we have no money, if we don't have this thing, we will starve to death." ”
"Amy, give it to them!"
"Please......"
Bumper!
Amy was responded to by two gunshots. Rick kicked Amy's corpse: "Stupid woman, don't you know that when someone has a gun in their hand, you have to meet all the conditions of the other person?"
Nick looked at the bodies of the two, and he shook his head: "It's not worth killing for a box of water. ”
"It doesn't matter, Nick. Do you see anyone around us paying attention to us?" Rick laughed and looked around. Costco's parking lot was crowded, but no one cared about the shooting, and no one hugged it. Everyone just stepped up and loaded and left.
"Nick, look, there's chaos in the city. Rick laughed and loaded all the supplies the couple had bought into his car, "We're going to start preparing, too." It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"There's never been a better time to rob than now!" Rick laughed, and Nick smiled.
Rick was right, now is the best time to do it. Because now the city of LA is on the verge of collapse. This is true for Costco, and it is true for other places.
LA's police presence is no longer sufficient.
It's not just Rick and Nick who are discovering this, more and more demons are discovering this. A riot began to spread like a plague.
