Chapter 076: The Rabble
Disasters struck, death and despair ran rampant, and every tall building in the city became a tiny human settlement. When they find that the outside world is becoming more and more cruel, people are even more reluctant to leave the building where they are hiding, even if there is no food or drink in the building, they do not have the courage to go out.
In just one day, the original status relationship of society was broken in an instant, and there was a division of people in each building. Powerful people began to control the already small amount of materials, and the remaining ordinary people could only survive and beg around.
Zhou Qingfeng, as an intruder, is powerless to change this interpersonal relationship in a building. Although he was very short of subordinates, the fact that the crowd in the clubhouse building had fled before sounded a wake-up call for him, and it was useless for his subordinates who had no cohesion to come, and would only waste food.
So for Jenny. Braun's request, Zhou Qingfeng could only refuse ruthlessly. Because right here Jenny. When Braun pleaded with him, the entire hallway was watching. As long as he saved one, the remaining dozens of people and hundreds of people would pounce, and at that time he was afraid that it would be difficult to escape.
"I can't save you, and I don't want to know you, get out of here! Draw near any closer, and I'll kill you. Don't think I'm afraid to do it, I won't have any sympathy. Zhou Qingfeng said viciously, and he even took off his mask to reveal his true face.
Wow...... it's Victor. Hugo. That murderer! The man who killed the New York police chief in public.
Thanks to the media reports in recent days, Zhou Qingfeng's face has been well known to many people. Dozens of people in the corridor were still watching Jenny. Braun could get some help, but now they found themselves facing a real thug, and they immediately fell silent and never said anything more.
In the face of Zhou Qingfeng's vicious attitude, Jenny was also frightened and weak. 'Victor. The name 'Hugo' is a hot topic in the news lately, and she is a reporter who has no reason not to know her. She even wrote a special review, and now she actually meets a real person.
Seeing that he had already suppressed the scene, Zhou Qingfeng pulled his legs and left again, he didn't want any drag now, and it was true that he quickly got rid of the bandits occupying this building.
The people who know the most about the situation in the building now are undoubtedly the security guards who have a small amount of supplies. Probably out of the simplest of self-preservation, the gang occupied several fortified rooms, did not come out of death, and likewise refused to help anyone.
"Hey, the security guard inside listens. Come out and talk to someone about me, I want to know something. Zhou Qingfeng came to the outside of the room occupied by the security guards and shouted inside under the cover of the corner.
The security guard inside looked extremely irritable and shouted, "We don't share, get out of here." ”
Zhou Qingfeng immediately swept inside through the window, and after the banging gunshot, he said again: "Listen, you idiots. My name is Victor. Hugo, send someone out to talk to me at once, or I'll set fire to you, and I'll do what I say. ”
What the building is afraid of is fire, Zhou Qingfeng reported his name and said that he was going to set it on fire, but it really frightened the security guards inside.
"Wait, don't shoot, we can come out alone." The security guards shouted, and then they could hear a quarrel inside, as if they were embarrassed about who went out to see Zhou Qingfeng.
After a long time, a gray-haired, older black security guard walked out. He raised his hand, looked at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Okay, I'll come out." My name is Mobutu, what do you have to ask? ”
"Tell me, how many of the gangsters are upstairs?"
"Maybe twenty or thirty, maybe forty or fifty, we don't know. They barged in and killed quite a few of us. Then they began to scavenge for food and water, occupying more than ten floors. Mobutu said.
"Occupy more than ten floors? Aren't they afraid that you will light a fire downstairs and burn them to death? Zhou Qingfeng felt that direct arson was the most effective way to deal with this kind of building.
"The fire extinguishing system in the building is self-contained and has not failed. Unless you get a lot of gasoline and set it on fire, you can't burn down the entire building, even if you burn a few rooms. Mobutu said: "There are also a lot of hostages upstairs who have been taken by bandits, and if they were set on fire, the hostages would also die."
And the bandits come down every two hours to make rounds, and they're worried about us making trouble down there. In order to appease the people in the building, they also promised to distribute a small amount of food and water every day, and now the people in the building are waiting. ”
"It's not a smoke bomb thrown by the bandits, lest we start a riot, but maybe it's an opportunity." A weak voice came from behind Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng turned around and immediately said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?" ”
Jenny. Braun appeared a few meters away in horror, and she said with a sad face: "Mr. Hugo, please." You're definitely here to get rid of the bandits, and for whatever reason, I'm here to help. I can be a decoy for you to sneak up on. ”
When Mobutu heard this, he also spoke: "If you want to do anything, I am willing to participate." I used to be a soldier, and I didn't want to make a living by robbing other innocent people. ”
Mobutu is tall and strong, with thick joints, and looks quite burly and powerful, which should be considered a combat force. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng felt that the manpower was a little short, and asked again: "Can you call a few more people?" I'm sure you won't have a lot of food, and you won't be able to last long if you don't work hard. ”
Mobutu walked into the security guard's room again to convey Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, and soon there was a fierce quarrel inside. However, when he heard that Zhou Qingfeng had the intention of attacking the bandits, several hungry and thirsty men in the corridor stood up.
A few minutes later, Zhou Qingfeng temporarily recruited more than 20 people, including seven security guards with guns and more than a dozen unarmed civilians. These people are forced by the current situation in front of them to stand up and fight for their lives.
With the notorious Zhou Qingfeng taking the lead, the morale of this temporary team was acceptable, and the group climbed the stairs from the fifth floor in a messy manner, making quite a lot of noise along the way, and even coerced hundreds of people to follow behind.
Looking at these rabble, Zhou Qingfeng did not give them the slightest hope, and when the fight really started, at least half of them would turn around and flee.
Since the elevator was no longer passable, the fire staircase became the only way to go up and down. Mobutu, who used to be a soldier, tried to organize the more than 100 people he had brought with him, but the scene was like a vegetable market, and there was no discipline at all.
In this case, it is a dream to ambush those bandits. Zhou Qingfeng simply arranged for someone to block the fire escape from the ninth floor to the eighth floor, and then set up a barricade in the corridor on the ninth floor.
"Guys, we're on the ninth floor now, and the road to the eighth floor has been blocked. None of you can escape, you can only survive by killing those bandits. Otherwise, you will all die. As soon as Zhou Qingfeng said this, the more than 100 chirping rabble immediately quieted down.
Most of the people who followed Zhou Qingfeng were opportunists, and now that they had cut off their retreat, these people immediately expressed their unacceptability. Someone shouted, "Why don't you let us escape?" What if we fail? ”
"If you fail, then die!"
