In a daze, I was woken up by the voice of a rude man. When I opened my eyes, I saw a bearded man standing in front of the counter and shouting to the female clerk, "Hey! Didn't you say your boss would come and open the door in the morning? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? ”

"I don't know...... It stands to reason that she should have come, but ......" The female clerk looked embarrassed and at a loss.

"How many points is it now?" The middle-aged uncle asked.

The fashion girl looked at her phone: "It's eight forty-five." ”

"What time does your boss usually open the door?" The middle-aged uncle asked the female clerk.

"It's usually half past eight."

"Wait a little longer." The middle-aged uncle said to everyone. The bearded man snorted impatiently.

I got up from the ground and walked over to stay with everyone. I noticed that the only people who hadn't "gotten up" at this time were the old woman and the red-haired thug in the corner. Everyone else was standing in front of the supermarket. The most anxious was still the single mother, who had a puffy face, dark circles under her eyes, and looked like she hadn't closed her eyes at all last night.

After another twenty minutes of waiting, it was already 9:05. The big man finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted, "Hey, how long are we going to wait here stupidly?" I don't think that boss will come at all! ”

Everyone looked at the female clerk, but she seemed more dazed than anyone else. "No," she said in trepidation...... The boss won't want his own shop. Unless ......"

This "unless" hung in the air, and there was no follow-up for half a day. The fat woman took it and said, "You want to say, unless the boss has an accident or something bad happens, right?" ”

The female clerk's face turned white. My heart sank hard, too.

After a few seconds of silence, the bearded man roared violently: "Damn, I don't believe that everyone outside is dead!" He rushed to the door, slammed the shutter door with his big purple fist, and yelled in a roar, "Hey! Is there anyone out there! Get someone to open this damn door! ”

He was banging, yelling, and even swearing. This went on for ten minutes, and we watched as he finally ran out of breath and hoarse, and finally kicked the roller shutter door and let out of breath.

The little white-faced boy shook his head in horror and said, "Oh my God, there is no response to knocking outside like this, is it possible that there is no one on the whole street outside?" ”

"How is that possible, and where are all these people?" His girlfriend asked with a glare.

"Maybe they're all infected by the virus." A trembling voice said. All eyes were on the fat woman dressed in black. "As the man said, it won't be long before our region is hit by that horrible virus."

"Hey, wait." The little white-faced boy crossed his hands and said, "You mean they're all sick and hospitalized; Or are they all already ......"

"Dead!" The big man who was sitting at the door suddenly shouted, "I see that the people outside are really dead!" ”

"Ah——!h The single mother screamed in despair and pain, crying out, "Don't say that! I beg you, don't say such things! ”

"Yes, don't say such frustrating things." The middle-aged uncle said with a serious expression, "This kind of thinking will only make us seem more desperate and helpless." In my opinion, we now have to figure out what the hell is going on out there. ”

"I agree." A soft voice came from behind me. I looked back and saw that the red-haired thug was standing behind me. He raised a hand and said in a long voice, "At least I want to know what that 'terrible virus' is." ”

"It's a shame that my damn phone has no signal." The fashion girl said ruefully.

"If we can't get in touch with the outside world, we try to get some kind of information unilaterally." This little gangster, who always had a vague impression with me, seemed to be calmer and more sober than anyone else at this time. He walked slowly around to the counter and asked the female clerk, "Is there a computer here?" ”

"Nope." The female clerk shook her head.

"Where's the TV?"

"Not either."

The red-haired thug rolled his eyes and waved his hand into the air: "Great, it's still living in the Middle Ages. ”

The middle-aged uncle walked over and asked, "So is there a radio?" ”

"No ......" The female clerk was about to shake her head when she suddenly remembered something, "Ah, wait, although I don't have a radio, I have an MP3 on me, which I used to listen to the radio before." ”

"Get it out." The uncle said eagerly, "You can try it." ”

The female clerk took out a small black MP3 from her purse, stuffed the earbuds into her ears, and then pressed a button on the right to adjust the wave frequency. All eyes were on her.

After more than a minute, the female clerk shouted, "I received a table!" ”

"What's in there?" The single mother rushed over and stared at her with an anxious face.

The female clerk frowned and shook her head: "It's a music station, pop songs are playing in it, and there is no news." ”

"It's good to receive it!" The middle-aged uncle looked a little excited, "Search for other stations, especially local radio stations!" ”

The female clerk continued to debug, and everyone paid attention to her, but when they saw her, they couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing: "It's an advertisement, no...... There is no such station, it is storytelling...... Oh, it's still singing......"

More than ten minutes later, she took off her earbuds in frustration and said to everyone: "No, none of the stations I received broadcast news." And it's very strange that you can only receive stations from other places, not local stations. When I tuned in to the local radio station, it was a noise. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the fat woman in black said gloomily in the back: "This shows that there is no one on the radio station in our city now." ”

The middle-aged uncle did not give up hope: "It doesn't matter, it's good to receive a station from other places." And it may not be news time, so try to listen to it at noon later. He said to the female clerk, "Otherwise, you give me the MP3, I'm more patient, if you keep listening, I'll always hear some relevant news." ”

The female clerk nodded and handed him the MP3. The red-haired thug said, "This is the only way we can know about the outside world at the moment." ”
