CHAPTER XIX
The speed of the fall of Wenhao City was beyond Zhang Pengtao's expectations, looking at the city viaduct full of vehicles in front of him, and the traffic lights on the sidewalks that had long since stopped running. This city, which is covered in neon lights of buildings and warm yellow lights on the road, becomes extremely bleak. The three of them walked through the empty streets, the locked shops and the blood and food scraps on the ground, and they couldn't help but be vigilant and stared at what seemed to be ten thousand pairs of eyes staring at them.
"Where do people go......
Zhang Pengtao stopped, only to see a dense crowd standing in the middle of the intersection in the distance. Sometimes it roars like a wild mob, and sometimes it stops with a noisy biting sound. I saw that the crowd with their backs to them was constantly hugging each other, as if something special was happening in front of them, making this group of people look like passers-by.
"Let's go back and be quiet."
The three of them knew that the hundreds of people with their backs to them in front of them were no longer normal human beings. Zhou Xi hung the obstructive bangs back behind his ears to avoid blocking his vision again when he was running away.
Xu Wen's clenched fists were already in a cold sweat, and they were moving unhurriedly standing in the middle of the street, turning around in three steps to observe the group of 'people' behind them, whether they were currently threatening.
The three of them held their breath, their hearts pounding. The sound of rapid breathing echoed back and forth in their ears, and it wasn't hard for them to step on the ground in enough silence.

"Ahh
Perhaps because he was too nervous, Zhou Xi was frightened by the sound of glass breaking from nowhere. The three of them turned around at the same time, only to see a huge glass window falling not far behind them, Zhang Pengtao looked up, and a man was standing on the tall building behind him with an extremely evil smile at them. It seemed that his funny purpose had been accomplished, and he disappeared from the window very satisfied. With Xu Wen's shout, the three of them pulled up their legs and began to flee forward. The out-of-control army behind them turned back with the sound, followed their steps and began to scramble for food, wriggling and swarming towards them.
"Wait...... wait"
Xu Wen stopped and looked at the alley between the two buildings, and a door was open. Zhang Pengtao doesn't care about the unknown things inside, and if he runs outside without knowing where to go, it is better to go into a place to hide.
The three of them hurriedly ran in and locked the door in an instant. The rumbling iron door began to be slammed, and the originally smooth door was in a bumpy state.
"Get out of the way!" Zhou Xi shouted, and pushed the shelves that were originally standing behind the door to the iron door with all his strength. Xu Wen was taken aback by Zhou Xi's sudden strength, the items on the shelves fell to the ground one after another, and the objects that took two people to move were actually pushed by a thin girl of hers.
Zhou Xi twisted his slender arm and breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the iron door that had been firmly resisted. Sitting on the ground and looking at the two boys who were still quite shocked, he explained with a smile: "I usually don't have such a strong ......."
Zhang Pengtao looked at the environment they were in, there were many empty cardboard boxes on the empty shelves, and the messy appearance on the ground seemed to have been looted by someone earlier. Judging from the remarks written on the cardboard box, Zhang Pengtao probably knew that they should be in the supermarket warehouse.
This small warehouse, the three of them searched around and found no food or water, only the cleaning supplies that no one used were still neatly on the shelves and no one grabbed them.
"Looks like there's nothing left here, but it's relatively safe." Xu Wen watched as the back door was blocked by shelves, and watched as the door leading to the supermarket from the front door was locked intact. In addition to not eating or drinking, the warehouse is also a very safe place to evacuate.
"This door should be out of the supermarket, right?" Zhou Xi was just about to open the front door, but was stopped by Zhang Pengtao and signaled not to open it.
Now that they are not hungry or thirsty, it is better not to take unnecessary risks. After all, no one knows what's behind this door to the supermarket. It's like the fall of this heavy industrial city, and it can't be that there are only so many runaways who just chased them. There are certainly countless 'people' in all corners of the city.
Zhou Xi tore the empty cardboard box by hand and spread it on the ground to make a temporary mattress. Fortunately, there are enough cardboard boxes to make the originally hard floor a little soft.
Perhaps it was the exhaustion of the three of them that came to their heads, and they fell asleep the moment they just lay down. After a day of hard work, they thought that they had experienced the risk of being chased once when they entered Wenhao City. Before going to bed, Zhang Pengtao was still thinking about the man who threw down the glass on the building, the smile of the evil that achieved his goal, maybe he couldn't forget it in his life.
"Captain...... Captain ......"
Zhang Pengtao opened his eyes when he heard this familiar voice, only to see five familiar voices standing in the white scene. What caught his eyes was Zhu Gao, who showed a well-behaved smile, and his grinning tone was still teasing him for sleeping so dead.
Zhang Pengtao was just about to get up from the ground when he suddenly bumped into something. Only then did he find that his whole body was tightly huddled together, and the transparent and invisible objects around him were tightly imprisoned in his body, unable to move. Lu Dang stepped forward, looking at him blankly, with a terrifying smile on his face that made his back hairy.
Just as he was about to break free from this strange confinement, he instantly fell into infinite darkness. Zhang Pengtao woke up with the speed of falling, and the surroundings were pitch black. He pushed around the area that felt slightly woody to the touch, and pushed open the tightly closed door in front of him in shock. All of a sudden, he lost his support and fell out of the cabinet.
Zhang Pengtao looked around in a panic, and the floor supported by his two hands had a moist touch. He looked down and saw that the floor was covered with blinding scarlet. The walls and ceilings had been shattered by a brief shootout. He stood up, surveying the strange and familiar surroundings around him.
Is this in a dream? β¦β¦
Zhang Pengtao repeatedly confirmed this dreamlike scene in his heart, looking at the desk locker, he experienced everything he had already experienced very clearly. Skirting the trembling corpses everywhere, he poked his head out of the door to notice the situation in the hallway. After making sure that there was no one out of control, Zhang Pengtao stepped out of the office and carefully studied everything in the office from the door.
Lu Dang's arm was thrown to the ground casually, and the words "Deputy Captain" were hanging on the wrapped clothes. Zhang Pengtao didn't see Zhu Gao's body, and after checking back and forth, he turned around and was frightened by a bloodstained face in front of him. I saw Zhu Gao smirking at Zhang Pengtao with a smile on his face, revealing his already crooked teeth, and constantly spitting out blood. Zhang Pengtao was no longer able to move his already stiff body, his wheat-colored skin began to gradually highlight his frightened white lips, and his body trembled even more when he closed his eyes.
Zhang Pengtao woke up in his sleep, and his rapid breathing was exceptionally clear and loud in the warehouse. After wiping away the cold sweat, he gradually raised his head to look at Zhou Xi Xu Wen, who had already been awakened by Zhang Pengtao.
"Are you alright?"
Zhou Xi's whispered inquiry made him gradually come back to his senses from that terrible dream. In the dry mouth, he realized that he had gradually become dehydrated.
"What time is it?" Zhang Pengtao's words made Xu Wenzhou regret not know how to answer.
None of the three knew exactly how long they had been asleep, whether it was night or dawn outside. After all, in this era of habitual use of communications, no one can adapt to such a change when they suddenly go back to the past.
