Chapter 5: Countdown to Darkness
"Day 7 begins!"
"Disaster continues to strike!"
"Companies and schools have begun to reduce their time for work and school!"
"People are beginning to shake badly about the end times!"
"Supermarket inventory is starting to run out!"
"The farmer's market is running out!"
It's 12 o'clock at noon, and the system is on time, but the sun still hasn't come out, and the one-hour time of the day is broken!
Isn't the sun rising from today?
Li Han, who was supposed to be ready for many days before he completely entered the night, was caught off guard, and there were shouts and chaotic screams everywhere outside the window!
For a while, it was impossible to tell where it came from, as if the whole city was boiling, like sitting on a volcano, and it would erupt at any time!
The chaos lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun finally came out, a full 2 hours later than yesterday, and the time pattern was changed!
People greedily bask in the sun, and some even kneel and pray, begging the sun not to abandon them!
The apocalyptic doctrine has become more and more shaken, and many people have begun to believe in the Cult of Doomsday, and the propagandists in the streets and alleys are not being arrested by the Guards, and even the occasional one or two members of the Guards in green uniforms are listening.
Although it was restored to the light, the chaos in people's hearts did not stop, and people rushed into supermarkets and various markets more frantically to buy them! Snapped!
Anything they could see and eat, they had to rush home, some people hoarded tons of rice at home, some people stored countless tap water at home, and some even hoarded hundreds of catties of salt because of panic!
After only four hours of operation, the supermarket's inventory has bottomed out, and in the face of the long queue that still does not see the tail, I have to play the brand that the inventory has bottomed out and closed!
The unwilling crowd also wanted to storm the supermarket, but they were frightened back by the gun-wielding escorts, thinking that they were more powerful than the security teams on Laika Island!
The oily and black *** has become the last barrier before people's sanity collapses, and people scold a few times, and they can only obediently turn to other small supermarkets.
And other small supermarkets that can withstand the impact of so many people, have already hung up the goods clearance, closed the signs!
But when the night fell, the owner of the small supermarket, who was still counting how much he had earned, never dreamed that the law and order seemed to deteriorate in an instant, the roller shutter was violently pried open, and some of the remaining goods were snatched up.
The boss came out and wanted to stop it, but he was dragged directly to the door by the ill-intentioned people, picked up a clean inside and out, and the money was also robbed!
At this time, reason still exists in people's hearts, only grabbing things, not hurting people's lives.
After the members of the escort team arrived, seeing that the boss was not injured, they left the bottom line, and left, they became the busiest people tonight, dozens of reports, all of them were supermarket owners, and there were countless cases of restaurant ingredients being robbed.
Overnight, it seems that the law and order of the entire city of Kete has collapsed!
Li Han blocked the door of the hotel, looked at the occasional firelight outside the window, and seemed to think of those numb eyes and helpless gaze on Laika Island!
What's next?
Insurrection?
Snatch?
Li Han didn't know what he should do at the moment, in the catastrophe of the annihilation of the sun, it seemed that he couldn't help anyone except find a place to survive!
The night was extraordinarily long!
"Day 8 begins!"
"Disaster continues to strike!"
"Companies and schools have begun to reduce their time for work and school!"
"People are beginning to trust the end times!"
"Supermarket inventory will be sold out today!"
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that the sun came out again, and Li Han silently estimated it, that is to say, the day after tomorrow, on the tenth day of the survival mission, the sun would be completely extinguished!
And then it disappeared completely?
The city of Kett is in complete darkness?
In fact, if you think about it, darkness is not terrible, even if there is no sun, people can still survive in an orderly manner for a long time as long as they maintain a certain amount of sanity.
It's just that darkness breeds many other things, fear, violence, crime!
It seems to be getting colder!
The hotel no longer provides free drinking water, but it can still be purchased with money, but the price is several times higher than before!
Li Han still has a lot of money, and after that, I'm afraid it won't be of much use!
He decided to look for a place away from the crowd tomorrow, the last time it dawned.
This time in the world of disaster, I am afraid that the most terrible thing is the people themselves!
The sun was two hours late, and the panic was at its peak, and no one wanted to go to work or school today, so they went to the streets to find a supermarket, to add a bag of rice or a loaf of bread to their home.
People instinctively fear, disgusted with the darkness!
Four hours after the supermarket was sold, the moment before the night came, it was announced that it was completely sold out, and when the sign was hung up, the crowd that was still in a long line boiled, and the emotions that had been suppressed for several days seemed to be ignited at this moment!
The coming of night will not quench the anger of the people!
The muzzles of the black holes of the escort team could not stop the frantic crowd, and they rushed towards the supermarket!
Dadada!
I don't know who fired the shot, and then several more gunshots rang out, but then they disappeared completely, and the people at the front of the crowd fell to the ground with several shots, but the people behind rushed forward more bravely.
The convoys are also human beings, even if they are well-trained, but in the face of thousands of people, they are like boats in the waves, lonely and small!
Soon, they were overwhelmed by the angry crowd and didn't even have time to call for help.
The supermarket was breached, but as the supermarket said before, the goods were emptied and people did not find any supplies here.
Discontent is brewing and then spiraling out of control!
People who didn't get any supplies started looking for other supermarkets with a lot of anger!
When the commander-in-chief of the escort received the news that a supermarket had been breached, he shouted into the walkie-talkie in panic and retreated! Fall back!
When the huge crowd came to other supermarkets, they were only faced with a mess and warehouses that had been completely emptied.
The disappointed people looked at each other for a while, and then they realized what they were doing, they were actually committing crimes?
Is it the darkness that makes people's hearts violent, or is the violence in people's hearts seduced by darkness!
Or maybe people themselves want to unleash their inner violence!
Either way, they still have their sanity to the point of destroying the city now, and they can only stop here tonight!
As for tomorrow night?
Who knows!
