Sanlong City, a once prosperous city, in just 20 years, the scale has undergone earth-shaking changes, at its peak, more than 30 million people, and the people who come and go are high-ranking officials from all over the world.

However, when the end came, Sanlong City was not spared, the thick dust in the sky plunged Sanlong City into darkness, and the falling temperature made Sanlong City, a subtropical city, drop to more than ten degrees below zero, and countless people died every day under the cold, hunger and chaos.

However, relatively speaking, because Sanlong City is the birthplace of the Demon Dragon Emperor and an important area connecting the small world, the major empires still have placed heavy troops here, waiting for Yao Lie's appearance.

With the island of the Demon Dragon Empire shrouded in demonic energy, the recent opening of the small world channel has appeared on the side of Sanlong City, where a large number of troops and many monks have been stationed, making the security of Sanlong City much better than other cities, and the supply of water and electricity can also be guaranteed in many areas, for Hou Jiawei, Sanlong City is a place where he can temporarily settle down.

If it weren't for the coastal city of Sanlong City, which was already quite close to the expansion range of demonic energy, and Sanlong City did not have many military facilities, otherwise the high-level officials of Huaxia would even set up their headquarters here.

Because he used to work with Yao Lie in the security department of Zhongbao Group, the relationship is not bad, Hou Jiawei has more or less Yao Lie's Yu Ze, and in the past ten or twenty years, he has lived quite well.

It's just that later, as Yao Lie's status continued to improve, the gap between the two sides became bigger and bigger, Hou Jiawei, the guy nicknamed the monkey, was not a powerful Sun Monkey, and naturally Yao Lie became more and more estranged, even if Yao Lie came back to the earth by chance, with Hou Jiawei's identity, it was impossible to see Yao Lie.

Officials from various governments and others slowly stopped paying attention to Yao Lie's so-called old friends, and of course they would never offend Hou Jiawei, in case Yao Lie asked about the situation of monkeys, pockmarks and others on a whim that day, it would be impossible to deal with it.

At the end of the day, Hou Jiawei's community was inhabited by people with considerable authority, and Chu Bao, a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in Sanlong City, also lived in this community, and he could barely have ten hours of electricity every day.

It's just that even if the electric heater continues to emit heat, a piercing chill continues to penetrate in.

Outside the buildings of the community, huge bonfires are lit, and next to the bonfires, there are circles of hopeless rickety ragged people who are still breathing, with the help of the heat brought by the bonfires to drive away the cold that will not stop.

The army could not prevent the homeless hooligans from entering this community that could still supply electricity, as long as these homeless people did not make trouble, they would also turn a blind eye, and even ask the rich households in the community to take out some food for these homeless people to eat, lest the hungry homeless people lose their minds and turn the already chaotic Sanlong City into a complete disorder.

Hou Jiawei is in his forties, and he has a wife and a daughter at home, even if he has a bit of status in Sanlong City, and wants to shelter some relatives who are more estranged, he still can't do it.

The husband and wife snuggled together, covered with a thick quilt, through the window, looking at the bright fire outside, looking a little lonely, and their eyes occasionally fell on their ten-year-old daughter in their arms, revealing a trace of warmth and love.

"We have less than 30 catties of rice left in our house." His wife, Chen Xiuqin, took advantage of her daughter's sleep, and whispered softly in Hou Jiawei's ear with some weakness.

Hou Jiawei's face was a little bitter: "Wait a little longer, there is really no way, I'll go to Brother Chu Bao to borrow it, he should still have some food over there." ”

Wang Xiuqin nodded: "But I'm afraid that if I borrow food, Sanlong City won't last much time, do you think you can find a way to send your daughter to Zhongjinghai?" Even if we can't get there, it's good to send our daughter there. ”

Hou Jiawei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "At this time, where can you still hurry and migrate outside?" Out of the city, the temperature is even colder, and it is said that it has reached more than 30 degrees below zero outside. ”

"Even if I find those people in the military department, I may not be able to send my daughter away. Besides, she is only ten years old, and when she arrives at Zhongjinghai, how can she live, rather than let her suffer more hardships and suffering, it is better for the family to wait here. ”

I don't know if the two of them were talking a little louder, or if the daughter was awakened by a nightmare, her small body moved, she opened her still childish eyes, rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, I'm cold." ”

Wang Xiuqin hugged her daughter in her arms, tightened the quilt tightly wrapped, pulled the electric stove to her side, and said softly: "Xiao Wei is not cold." Mommy is going to make you something delicious. Sleep after eating, and the power will go out later. ”

Xiao Wei shook his head: "Mom, I don't want to sleep." ”

"Dad, you said Uncle Yao, will you really come back and take us to the place where Dad said there is no cold and there is still a lot of food?"

She opened her bright eyes and looked at Hou Jiawei with hope.

When she was five or six years old and sensible, the weather had become extremely cold, and food was in short supply.

"Your Uncle Yao will definitely come back!"

Hou Jiawei firmly met his daughter's gaze and said word by word.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crackling gunfire outside the house, and all kinds of crazy roars and roars, like wild beasts, surrounded the homeless people waiting for death next to the bonfire, and suddenly there was a commotion, Hou Jiawei's heart sank, this is not the first time I have seen such a scene.

Even under the barrel of the army, in the face of unbearable hunger and cold, there will always be people who lose their minds, and even if they die, they must go crazy before they die.

Xiao Wei immediately became frightened, squeezing Hou Jiawei's hand tightly, and his whole little body was curled up in his father's arms.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, Uncle Police will be here soon!"

Although Wang Xiuqin's face was also pale, she still held her daughter's hand and soothed her frightened daughter with a trembling voice.

It's just that this chaos was beyond their expectations, the expected police and army did not appear, the riot of the homeless people became more and more chaotic, and even spread rapidly, tens of thousands of homeless people soon frantically beat and looted each other, as if they had become irrational beasts, robbing other people's food, clothing, etc., although bow women do these things everywhere.

For ordinary people, such inhuman turmoil is even more terrifying than demonic energy and nuclear dust.

Hou Jiawei's face became more and more ugly, he reached under the pillow and touched the handle of the hard submachine gun, only to feel a little stable.

Sure enough, the situation developed towards the situation that Hou Jiawei least wanted to see, and those crazy homeless, seeing the appearance of no police and soldiers, looked scarlet and violent in the firelight, and immediately turned to the brightly lit buildings.

Even if the owners of these buildings usually take out food to help them from time to time, no one will remember all this at this time, only know that inside the buildings, there are the heating and food they need, and the surging crowd is roaring and whining wild beasts, and they are frantically rushing towards the buildings.

Hou Jiawei and his wife still took care of the cold outside the quilt, looked at each other, and saw the frightened look in each other's eyes, hurriedly got up, wrapped their daughter's body with a quilt, and stuffed their daughter with the quilt into the mezzanine of the ceiling with seven hands and feet, while putting pancakes, bread and other food next to their daughter.

Hou Jiawei's face became unusually solemn, and he stuffed the power meter he was carrying into his daughter's hand: "Xiaowei, listen, wait a minute, no matter what happens, you can't make any sound, don't leave the mezzanine!" If Mom and Dad don't call you out, wait at least three days before coming out. ”

Hou Jiawei stared at his daughter sternly: "Do you remember your father's words?" ”

The children in the apocalypse have seen too many things that they shouldn't see at their age, Xiao Wei looked very mature and sensible and nodded: "Xiao Wei knows." ”

Hou Jiawei snorted, closed the small door of the mezzanine hard, and covered it with wallpaper, without revealing any flaws, and then he and his wife pushed all the bulky furniture and electrical appliances behind the anti-theft door, and the windows were also closed tightly, and the lights and heating stoves were closed.

The two of them stayed behind the door quietly, Wang Xiuqin didn't know where she got an AK4, and together with her husband, she stared at the security door with perseverance in horror.

Bang bang bang, the heavy impact sound soon came out from the outside of the security door, and the reinforced security door was constantly trembling, and the sand and cement were shaken down.

Nowadays, the physical fitness of the earthlings is greatly improved, and I don't know how many people have practiced martial arts and exercises, etc., and those who can survive in the apocalypse for a few years, even the most ordinary and thin women, may be stronger than the strong men on the earth before.

There are even many homeless people who are already strong in the realm of martial artists and martial arts, and Hou Jiawei knows very well that even if the security door is equipped with three layers of steel plates, and a 30-centimeter steel nail is firmly driven into the 50-centimeter-thick cement wall, it may not be able to block the crazy homeless people from colliding.

The impact of the anti-theft door continued to sound, the thickened cement walls around the door frame, and even cracks had appeared, the vibration amplitude of the anti-theft door was getting bigger and bigger, and the faces of Hou Jiawei and his wife were becoming more and more pale, and the palms of the hands holding the handle of the gun were soaked unconsciously, and they didn't dare to make any sound at all, the only thing they could do was to turn on the safety switch of the firearm, and the muzzle of the gun was stiffly aimed at the crumbling anti-theft door.
