On the morning of September 12,

Early this morning, Mike arrived at the restaurant where he worked early, as usual.

After saying hello to the bosses, Ashley and Jimmy, we went into the kitchen and began the day's preparations.

Mike is 29 years old and has been working as a chef for more than three years.

Before he took up this job, he spent a year and a half in prison for stealing. After being released from prison, Mike wants to return to a normal life, but no one is willing to accept him and give him a job, which also makes him very distressed.

Just when Mike was worried about his livelihood, Ashley's appearance gave him hope.

Ashley doesn't mind Mike's past, but kindly introduces him to an apprenticeship at a friend's restaurant, hoping that he can be a chef and a good person at the same time.

You must know that Ashley had not yet opened a restaurant at that time, and her situation was not much better than that of Mike.

But Ashley was able to help him without any scruples, which also made Mike feel the warmth of humanity.

So he decided to study hard and work hard in order to repay Ashley's kindness.

Three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Mike has successfully become a qualified chef with his own efforts and the appreciation of his boss.

The boss saw that Mike was very good and wanted to keep Mike to continue working for him. But Mike refused, because he wanted to go to Ashley to repay the kindness.

Mike, who quit his job, soon contacted Ashley and learned that Ashley also owned a restaurant, so he offered to Ashley to work in her restaurant.

Ashley refused at first, but she couldn't resist Michael's repeated requests, and she finally agreed.

When the restaurant first opened, there were still many operational problems, resulting in a pitiful low turnover during that period.

In the face of such a dilemma, Mike still "never gave up" to Ashley, and worked hard to help Ashley overcome various difficulties.

Suffice it to say, Ashley's restaurant can have today's results, and it is inseparable from Mike's dedication.

"Stinky boy, you don't come to work so late...".

Mike, who had changed into his work clothes, walked into the back kitchen and found that Billy hadn't come to work yet, so he casually cursed.

Billy is the assistant chef in the back kitchen, specializing in helping Mike, which is equivalent to a chef's apprenticeship.

Previously, because the business was getting better and better, Mike couldn't be busy in the back kitchen alone, so Ashley specially recruited someone and assigned it to Mike.

Billy is also a young man with a good spirit, and can quickly get along with the people around him, and is especially appreciated by Ashley. But Billy's performance in the back kitchen is not as good as it could be, he is not active and a little lazy.

So this made Mike unhappy with Billy, who thought that Billy was a sycophant, one before the other and the other after the other. But Ashley, as the boss, seems to enjoy Billy's kung fu.

Gradually, Mike's dissatisfaction gradually turned into jealousy and hatred.

Originally, some of the miscellaneous work in the back kitchen was done by Billy, but Billy's did not show up for a long time, so these tasks had to be done by Mike.

Thinking of his usual routines, McCkey suddenly felt angry.

Just as Mike was depressed, Billy pushed the door open and entered. Billy, who had just entered the door, was humming a song while arranging his overalls, clearly in a good mood.

Seeing Billy, who was wearing headphones and humming a song, Mike was angry.

He went up and grabbed the headphones that were on Billy's head, and put them on his head.

Billy tries to get the headphones back, but gets a glaring at Mike and dismisses the idea.

"These headphones are pretty good, I'll borrow them first. Oh yes, clean the kitchen and take out the trash. ”

Mike triumphantly "taunts" Billy after putting on his headphones, and then tells him to get to work.

Seeing this, Billy had no choice but to follow the chef's instructions and start working.

After a while, Billy finally cleaned the kitchen. He bagged all the garbage and opened the door to go out and take out the trash.

Mike looked at Billy, who was sweating profusely, and his mood improved.

Billy, who had been busy in the back kitchen, had no idea what was going on in the front room, and Mike, who was listening to music with headphones on, had been supervising Billy after he had been busy with his work, so he didn't know what was going on outside.

So it was strange when he saw a panicked Ashley running into the kitchen, and when asked where Billy had gone, Mike said that Billy had gone outside to take out the trash.

Ashley had just run out of the kitchen on his front foot when Mike followed on his hind foot.

The back door of the kitchen is a small alley, and there is a large garbage bin dedicated to taking out the garbage, and you can go directly to the street when you exit the alley.

At this time, Billy seemed to have been thrown to the ground by someone, and a man was lying on his body and constantly "squirming", and blood was flowing under Billy's body, and the garbage bag was also thrown aside, and the garbage was scattered all over the ground.

Ashley approached Billy as she called his name, apparently not understanding what was going on.

Mike took off his headphones and walked over there.

I saw Ashley come to Billy's side, and looked at Billy Ashley, who was covered in blood, and panicked.

She tried to push the suspicious man lying on top of Billy, but before she could make a move, the man suddenly raised his head, opened his bloody mouth, yelled at Ashley, and slowly stood up and walked towards her.

Ashley was horrified by the sight before her, and she covered her mouth and began to back away.

At this time, the man suddenly sped up and pounced forward when he was less than two meters away from Ashley, knocking Ashley to the ground.

Ashley struggled to escape as the man threw him to the ground, but the man bit Ashley down on the neck.

At the last moment, she desperately grabbed the man's neck with both hands, and let out a cry for help with difficulty.

Seeing that terrifying face getting closer and closer to her, Ashley closed her eyes and turned her head to the side, she wanted to scream loudly, but she didn't know why she couldn't scream at this time.

Soon Ashley ran out of strength, and the low roar in her ears grew closer.

Just when she couldn't hold it anymore, she suddenly felt that her hands were light, and the weight on her body was gone. Then Ashley was helped to his feet, and the man lay beside him and was no longer moving.

It turned out that Mike saved Ashley after hearing Ashley's cry for help, returned to the kitchen and took a pan out, and slapped it on the man's head.

After a moment's pause, Ashley thanked Mike before she staggered over to Billy.

And Mike dropped the pan in his hand and cautiously crouched down to check the man's snort. Mike, who learned that the man was no longer breathing, immediately stood up, holding his hands to his head in remorse.

"Billy is still alive, Mike hurry up and help me."

Ashley checks on Billy and finds that he is still alive, and quickly beckons Mike to come and help Billy into the house.

However, at this time, Mike was immersed in the regret of his murder and did not hear Ashley's words.

"Mike, hurry up! Here they are again! ”

Ashley struggled to get Billy to sit up, and when she looked up, she saw several more bloodied men coming towards them at the mouth of the alley, and she called out to Mike again.

This time Ashley's cries were answered.

Mike ran over and helped Billy up with Ashley, went back to the kitchen and locked the door before the "madmen" could catch up with them.

Back in the kitchen, Ashley helps Billy stop the bleeding while calling out to his uncle Jimmy to come in and help, while Mike stands dumbfounded next to Ashley.

"What are we going to do?"

The black girl asked tremblingly.

"Looks like the whole restaurant is surrounded by those crazy people."

Ashley said wearily leaning against the kitchen door frame.

"I just came to have a meal, why did I happen to this kind of thing? Bad luck! ”

"Hurry up and call the police and let them come to our rescue!"

"What the hell is wrong with these people out there, why are they attacking others, and why are they surrounding us? What the hell are they going to do? ”

All of a sudden, everyone in the restaurant began to chatter and make noise.

"Don't make any noise! Quickly contact the police and ask them to come and save us. Also, give your family a call to make sure they're safe! ”

Jimmy yelled at the crowd.

After hearing Jimmy's words, everyone took out their mobile phones and started to call, but fortunately the phone was still available. However, there are few who can be connected, and those who can't get through after repeated attempts to call still can't get through.

The phone call to the police was connected, but the reply given by the other party was that the police had too much time to deal with similar cases, and at the end of the phone told him to stay indoors as much as possible and not go out, and then hung up.

Only two college students were able to call their families, while the others either had no relatives to contact or simply couldn't get through.

The police could not come to the rescue, and they could not let their relatives and friends take risks, so the people in the restaurant were truly isolated.

What kind of crisis will everyone face next?
