Chapter Seventy-Two: SWAT and Survivors
On the road leading to the outskirts of the city, a black police armored car is moving.
In the car sat a team of heavily armed SWAT officers on their way to the outskirts of the city.
Chen Xin found out about the supermarket where there might be survivors before, and he didn't explore or contact it by himself, but told Qin Lan about it and let the police deal with it.
For Chen Xin, although he can't get any benefits in this way, there will be no danger.
And compared to his own private contact with those survivors, whether the other party is desperate or innocent and pitiful, the police are obviously more capable of dealing with them than him.
"To reiterate the focus of this mission! It's an abandoned supermarket that may be occupied by survivors, and it's unclear if the survivors have weapons in their hands or what their attitudes are, so everyone must be vigilant and don't see something like last month's happen! In the car, the leader of the action team who was responsible for leading the team was giving a serious lecture.
Hearing his words, the faces of several SWAT team members in the car became a lot more grim.
The incident mentioned by the head of the operation team is that more than a month ago, a group of ordinary police officers with guns on patrol found an underground supermarket also occupied by survivors in the urban area, and one of the survivors tried to snatch the police officers' guns, resulting in three survivors killed and four injured, and one police officer was slightly injured.
The police officer in charge of the patrol at that time spotted the survivors, and when he came into contact with the survivors, he let down his guard because he saw the pity of the survivors, and one of the survivors with a criminal record saw that the police officer had a gun on him and had the idea of snatching it.
A misfire resulted in the death of one survivor during the snatching of a police officer's gun, which ensued a violent clash between the police and the survivors, resulting in a tragic tragedy in which two survivors died on the spot, five were injured and sent to the hospital, and one of them died after failing to resuscitate.
Although the troubled times should be used as a heavy code, for the police, whose duty is to protect the safety of people's lives and property, pointing a gun at the people who are supposed to protect is really not a thing that will make people feel very happy or happy.
Although by the time the survivor snatched the police officer's gun, he had already gone from being a citizen to a criminal.
The reminder of the leader of the operation team made the SWAT team members in the car feel awe-inspiring, although it is necessary to use heavy codes in troubled times, but not everyone can immediately change their thinking and mentality, and do cold-blooded and ruthless use guns to point at survivors who are originally just ordinary people.
In particular, the laws of the Yan Kingdom rarely allow police officers to shoot criminals before the disaster, and the police regulations even restrict police shooting.
For ordinary people, in the face of such disasters, there is more fear, anxiety and worries about their future and survival.
The kind of person who can change his mentality immediately on the second day of the disaster and become decisive and cold-blooded and ruthless is either a person who hides murderous intentions before the disaster and has a tendency to commit violent crimes, or he is a person who is extremely selfish.
Extreme environments breed extreme emotions, and in the case of being able to survive, not everyone will think first about how to kill their own kind and rob them of their chance to survive.
At a time when the state system of government still exists and government departments are still operating normally, the police will still perform their duties as before the disaster to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
It's just that compared to before the disaster, their disposal methods will still change somewhat.
It's like now, when the armored car arrived at the door of the underground supermarket that Chen Xin discovered, and saw that there was indeed a fire coming out, these special police officers did not get out of the car to contact it as in the past, but sat directly on the armored car and shouted with the horn on the car to let the people in the supermarket come out.
The police came to the door, which undoubtedly frightened the survivors in the supermarket.
It was just a group of ordinary survivors who didn't get the chance to enter the shelter in time before the disaster, but luckily they found a fairly sturdy basement, stocked up on food and water, and survived the time when the disaster struck.
Although in the process, their number has been reduced from a dozen to only a few now.
There is no conspiracy or darkness of human nature in the process of attrition, it is just that those people did not survive.
After a series of disasters such as fires, cooling, and acid rain, there are even meteorites that fall every two or three days, and only a few of the more than a dozen people who died are already considered to be their luck, and they are not wiped out without food and clothing.
But it also turned the survivors into terrified quails.
The basement at first helped them survive the fire after the meteorite impact, but the smoke choked two elderly people to death.
Then an acid rain fell, the basement was flooded, and a third of their food reserves were lost, and they had to be moved to a small building that was still in good condition.
They stayed there for a while, but a meteorite the size of a peanut smashed half of the building, and they had to change places.
In the process, three girls who were drenched in the rain had high fevers, and two did not survive.
When the meteorite hit the small building, there were still two people in the smashed half, and when they went to save people, they only found one leg and three arms.
As for their food and water reserves, they were also lost, and it was not until they found the supermarket that they were relieved.
Most of the supplies in the supermarket had been looted long before the disaster, but they were able to find some of the less edible food that had been left behind in the supermarket warehouse.
This made them lucky to survive until they were discovered by Chen Xin, and then called the police.
"Did anyone in there come out and say something? We are from the city's SWAT team, and we are here to find out the situation, so don't be afraid. If you need help, we can help. The SWAT officers did not go in, but still shouted at the door of the supermarket with loudspeakers.
At this time, in the supermarket, a group of survivors who looked like frightened birds were holding weapons made of steel pipes, mop handles and the like, and their unkempt faces were shaking like just finished rolling in the mud, and several survivors who looked like girls were shaking into sieves.
The survivors' lives without seeing the light of day for two months, lack of food and clothing, and even the difficulty of bathing and washing their faces, have already broken their spirits.
At this time, in the face of the shouts of the police outside, these survivors were so frightened that they couldn't even speak, and the door of the supermarket was more like a bloody mouth in their eyes, and they would be eaten as long as they walked out.
