Volume 1 The Beginning of the Cataclysm Chapter 033 The Mire Effect
After returning to the living room, Lang Hua directly broke the door lock.
He pushed through the closet behind the door before heading out into the kitchen with his backpack.
I didn't have much of it before when I was highly focused. Now once he is free, Lang Hua feels as uncomfortable as fire in his throat, and his stomach is cramping.
Lang Hua hurriedly turned on the faucet, put his mouth up and swallowed it heavily. Then he sat on the edge of the pool, dug out the biscuits in his backpack, and munched on them regardless of the image.
Carefully calculated, he had been running for more than twenty hours in a row. Even during the time when Lang Hua was on the motorcycle, he needed to maintain the necessary concentration. His last meal was traced back to the two simple energy bars he had swallowed the night before the cataclysm.
If a merchant selling energy bars knew about their merchandise and could hold a person up for that long, they might jump for joy.
The premise is ...... If they are still alive.
But it's a pity that a civilian camping energy bar of an ordinary brand like this has reached its limit if it lasts for up to 8 hours of satiety.
Starving is not the same thing as staying full.
Lang Hua once again left the faucet and threw himself and his backpack on the sofa. After that, I never wanted to move even a finger again.
Unlike a century ago, most of today's water plants and power plants are monitored by computer networks. The equipment in the factory does not need to be supervised by many people, but it is necessary to maintain daily maintenance and monitoring.
However, with the continuous development of the last days, the infrastructure has been destroyed and has been left unrepaired for a long time. It's only a matter of time before the power and water go out.
High-rise residential buildings rely entirely on electricity for water, and the water supply system uses pumps to pressurize domestic water and deliver it to residents' homes. When there is a problem with the power grid, it will bear the brunt of it.
The cities of the early apocalypse had water and food, which ensured the survival of many people, but also deprived many people of the best opportunity to flee the city, resulting in their eventual deaths.
Later, previous generations of scholars referred to it as the "quagmire effect".
Those who survive can't escape suffocation in the end, and those who fight bravely often have a glimmer of life.
"Good and bad, good and bad, how can there be anything as simple as it seems on the surface, and it is impossible to see through...... Sooner or later, they will all perish. ”
Lang Hua thought about it casually and fell asleep deeply.
……
At the same time, in the corner of Shashi District 3, Phoenix Entertainment Street.
"Damn," one teenager exclaimed, "Yang Xiaoxiao, how come you have a gun?" ”
He looked like a middle school student, with a small arm peeking out from under his white shirt and a jet-black skull tattoo on it.
"Long Chen, there's more you don't know."
Yang Xiaoxiao, who was standing opposite, looked disdainful, and her chestnut-brown hair was tied up high, showing a pretty and delicate baby face. The horn-buttoned coat accentuates the Western-style uniform
The slender figure covers the seven-seven-eighty-eight.
Corresponding to her snow-white complexion was a pistol that Xiu held tightly in her hand.
The body of the gun is jet black and shiny, reflecting a cold metallic sheen under the chaotic colored lights.
After a brief startle, Long Chen struggled to calm down: "Impossible. Who knows Yang Xiaoxiao, you're not scaring Lao Tzu with a fake gun? ”
The third younger brother beside him also hurriedly followed: "That's right." actually wanted to fool Brother Long, and the BB gun dared to take it out and show it. ”
"It's just, maybe it's a water bomb gun. Stinky bitch you ......"
This is Chen Long's other younger brother, who looks more immature, and is called Xiaoliu by Chen Long on weekdays.
With a "bang", the high-carbon steel ball grazed the boy's scalp and shot over.
Behind him, a glass window shattered, and the powerful kinetic energy of the steel ball pierced through a hole the size of a bowl.
Xiao Liu was speechless for a moment, and his legs fell to the ground with a limp of his legs.
Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at him contemptuously: "Open your dirty mouth again, and the next thing to explode is your eyeballs!" ”
Those big eyes that usually feel gentle as water, but at the moment they reveal a little coldness.
Under the light bangs, the willow eyebrows are curved and narrow, which also adds a bit of momentum to it.
"And now?" Yang Xiaoxiao stared at Long Chen and said playfully.
"Okay, Yang Xiaoxiao, you can." Chen Long was indignant, but he knew that there was no point in going on with a stalemate, "Let's go." ”
Kicking up the little six beside him, Long Chen left here with people.
Yang Xiaoxiao does have the confidence not to take these middle school students seriously.
The air gun in her hand was prepared by Lang Hua earlier. Although it is only a compact model, it can be filled with real fierce gas "CFC". The high pressure of the gas reaches an astonishing 30MPa, and the possibility of injury and disability is extremely high when excited at close range.
……
A minute later, Yang Xiaoxiao looked into the distance from the window on the second floor.
The backs of a few people leaving can't be faked, and it should be safe now.
Staring at the vague figures in the distance, Yang Xiaoxiao turned his head and spat fiercely on the ground: "Bah, I didn't plant anything!" ”
At this time, another figure quietly came out from behind the curtain - it turned out to be Xing Lili.
If the girl is not compared with Yang Xiaoxiao, her eyebrows and eyes are also handsome.
The navy blue bow tie is embellished in front of the sports shirt, adding a touch of youth and cuteness to her.
Xing Lili hesitated and trembled and asked, as if she was also frightened by the scene just now: "Xiaoxiao, why do you have a gun?" ”
Yang Xiaoxiao didn't answer, but frowned and said, "Lili, you can see Long Chen's face decaying." Are you sure you want to follow him? ”
"Brother Long...... Brother Long said he would protect my ......" Xing Lili gave people the feeling of cringe, "I don't know."
I'll go with you to apologize, I'll beg them, maybe you can stay......"
Yang Xiaoxiao immediately rolled her eyes, and said, "What are you kidding, I, Yang Xiaoxiao, will bow my head to this kind of person?" Come with me, I know there's a place with plenty of weapons and food. Remember the plan I told you? ”
"But Chen Long, he's a boy after all...... And they're not the only ones here. She seemed to remember something terrible, "Get out of here, there are so many monsters outside, just us two girls...... It's going to die! ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed a little deeper.
"Who said that? We've got this. ”
Yang Xiaoxiao casually raised her right hand holding the gun and shook it in the direction of Xing Lili.
Xing Lili immediately jumped out of her original position, trying to keep a safe distance from the muzzle.
This made Yang Xiaoxiao even pout.
She dragged Xing Lili to her side, looked into her eyes and said, "Lili, what's wrong with you, you weren't like this before." ”
Xing Lili shook her head desperately: "No, no, no!" Xiaoxiao, you don't understand, how can you compare with the original now? Didn't you see that day too? Xiaomei was torn apart alive by those monsters and eaten into her stomach by those monsters! ”
Yang Xiaoxiao hurriedly comforted her: "It'll be fine." As long as we are careful, go out and find my brother......"
The girl shook off Yang Xiaoxiao's hand suddenly.
She yelled, "No, how can it be okay? No matter how powerful your brother is, he's just an ordinary person. How could he fight a man-eating monster? Maybe...... Maybe he's dead! ”
Yang Xiaoxiao grabbed her shoulder hard, and her tone became anxious: "Lili, how can you say that?" My brother ...... My brother won't ......."
"Then why didn't he contact you? Why didn't I come to you? If nothing happens to him......"
Xing Lili suddenly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean that...... I...... Just felt safe here, I couldn't get out of here, I couldn't I couldn't ......"
The impact of these words on Yang Xiaoxiao was stronger than Xing Lili could have imagined.
Yes, that possibility is not out of the question.
Man is not God, and man cannot conquer heaven.
As long as you are still human, you may have ......
Yang Xiaoxiao froze in place and didn't know what to do, watching Xing Lili break free of her hand and run away.
She knew that the tragedy that had taken place on the night of the cataclysm had greatly stimulated Lily.
But she didn't expect the stimulation to be so intense.
Xiaomei, one of the companions, was torn apart and eaten alive in front of their eyes, and the two of them couldn't save her, and they couldn't save her. The only thing they could do at that time was to run for their lives, along the gap in the corpses.
