Chapter 33: Riots
The rest of the people rushed a little slower, but they also arrived before the chips were picked up. Everyone was in the same motion, everyone was crouching there, desperately picking up the chips that had fallen on the ground. The young woman screamed, pushing desperately around her as if she was crazy, and at the same time picking up the potato chips on the ground as fast as she could.
There was only one bag of potato chips on the ground, and the quantity was very small. So a conflict broke out between a dozen people picking up potato chips. The young woman grabbed a handful of potato chips in her hand, and before she could put it in her mouth, she was broken up by a man in the prime of life, and another thin man took the opportunity to grab a handful and stuff it into his mouth, and the man kicked him......
Zhao Huasheng stood beside him, stunned. The man also stood there, motionless, not even reacting to the snatching of another bag of potato chips from his arms.
At this time, I don't know who shouted: "There are still in the store!" ”
So, a group of people rushed towards the store as if they had said yes. Monzo's brow furrowed tightly, as if he saw some ominous portent. As soon as Meng Zhuo's body moved, he came to the front of the shop and yelled, "What are you doing?!" ”
In normal times, Meng Zhuo's roar was enough to completely silence a hall that could accommodate a hundred people, but at this moment, Meng Zhuo seemed to be facing these people who had lost their senses. Monzo's roar had no effect. The dozen or so people still poured in like a tidal wave. Meng Zhuo opened his arms, like an iron tower, and blocked the dozen or so people here, and none of them could break through Meng Zhuo's block.
But the chaos here has caught the attention of others. I don't know who yelled again: "Get out of the way!" There's food in it! ”
At least a hundred more people flocked to the city. Meng Zhuo frowned, looked at Zhao Huasheng who was standing next to him, and finally shook his head and gave up blocking it.
Meng Zhuo had lost the ability to dispel the chaos, and Meng Zhuo could no longer put Zhao Huasheng in danger.
The dozen or so people and the hundreds of people who rushed in after poured into the small shop like a tide, the cabinets and tables in the store were topplunged, and the goods were swept away in an instant. Those who grabbed things are desperately trying to protect, and those who don't grab things are aiming their fists at these former "comrades-in-arms".
The people who didn't grab something were the majority. Obviously, they are not willing to leave themselves empty-handed. The chaotic procession swept away like locusts, and on both sides of the street, closed shops were smashed open, and people rushed in and swept through and then rushed to the next ......
A mess has formed. More and more people are getting involved. Some people didn't even know what it was about, they just followed the army with the support of a frenzy of blood, and in the process of advancing, they accidentally got into a physical altercation with the person next to them, so they began to fight each other, and when their fists were not enough, they picked up bricks and wooden sticks......
There are more and more crowds next to it. Meng Zhuo grabbed Zhao Huasheng at this time and said, "Hurry up and get out of here, it's dangerous here." ”
Meng Zhuo grabbed Zhao Huasheng's arm and began to swim up the crowd in the crowd. As he moved forward, Zhao Huasheng saw many distorted faces, heard the cries of countless people, and saw pictures that he had only seen on TV before.
A woman accidentally fell to the ground, but no one paid attention to her, countless feet were still stepping on, and the woman had some movement and shouting at first, but after a moment there was no sound. Zhao Huasheng saw that blood began to flow out of her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth from her face. Zhao Huasheng saw a young man dressed with a strong elegant atmosphere I don't know where to find a sharp knife, and then stabbed the sharp knife on a very obese man next to him with a hideous face, Zhao Huasheng saw a tall young woman holding a brick in her hand, and slapped it the head of a middle-aged woman......
The chaos is irrepressible. But until this moment, Zhao Huasheng still had some doubts in his mind: "But, but, it's just a bag of potato chips......
Just a bag of potato chips. A bag of potato chips that was left in the past, even if it was still on the ground, no one would take a second look.
"They're all crazy." Mondra whispered.
Zhao Huasheng was dragged into a building by Meng Zhuo, and then reached the roof of the building a few minutes later. Standing on the roof of the building, blown by the oncoming cold wind, Zhao Huasheng gradually calmed down.
Zhao Huasheng looked down, and saw that the chaos had spread from the streets to other streets at the moment, and it was still spreading rapidly, and in the eyes, there was chaos and crying everywhere, people didn't know what this chaos was for, and they didn't know what they wanted to do, people were just holding weapons, or attacking everyone they could see around them with their bare hands, wantonly venting their long-standing depression and fear of the future.
"Report to Command, there is a riot in Street 1867 in Area C, and it is spreading rapidly, it will soon be uncontrollable, request for support, request for support......"
After the report, Meng Zhuo shook his head at Zhao Huasheng: "This is not something we can deal with. We can't do it. ”
"Is it just because of a bag of chips?" Zhao Huasheng asked.
Monjo continued to shake his head: "People have been suppressed for too long, feared for too long. The solar crisis exploded too quickly, too suddenly, and suddenly fell from heaven to hell, and people couldn't stand it...... Those idiots in the Academy of Social Sciences, I have long proposed to them to do a good job of psychological assessment and counseling to prevent mass violence, and they always say that there is nothing wrong with nonchalance, and now I see how they explain to Yuan! ”
So Zhao Huasheng knew that it was not a bag of potato chips.
In these last days, there is too much pressure and fear accumulated in everyone's heart, but it cannot be discharged. With the slightest spark, Equatorial City will explode like a barrel of dynamite. And that person just acted as the fuse.
"Don't worry, the army will be in control soon." Monjo said.
Zhao Huasheng nodded gloomily.
But after a while, Meng Zhuo suddenly slammed his hand on the stone steps and cursed through gritted teeth: "Bastard! ”
In Zhao Huasheng's mind, Meng Zhuo has always been an indifferent but calm image, and Zhao Huasheng has never seen Meng Zhuo also have emotional moments. Zhao Huasheng looked at Meng Zhuo, and Meng Zhuo pointed down and said to Zhao Huasheng: "You see that those people are not ...... Those who uniformly wear black...... They are creating a situation and inciting riots. ”
"Cultist, conspirator, fanatic, anarchist, anti-human, doomist......" Monjo's face turned grim with each term: "All these ghosts have appeared." ”
"These scum, the scum of society!" Meng Zhuo slapped the stone steps, and the green tendons on his hands flared up.
"Has our society reached this point?" Zhao Huasheng thought silently in his heart, turned around and looked in another direction, from that direction, Zhao Huasheng also heard a faint noise.
The two of them had been standing on the roof of the building and looking down at the scene below. I don't know if an hour or two hours have passed, from a place at least a thousand meters away, Zhao Huasheng saw a violent fire suddenly coming from there, and after three or four seconds, Zhao Huasheng heard a dull explosion from there.
So Zhao Huasheng knew that the chaos had escalated.
At this moment, there were no more people standing on this long street under our feet. The rioting crowd had swept away like locusts. There were only a lot of people left on this long street, and I don't know if they were dead or alive. But no ambulances came, and no soldiers or police showed up. There are many ruins and blood, scraps of glass, etc., which make it look like a garbage dump.
It was as if the entire Equatorial City was boiling at this moment. Ever since the first fires appeared, it was very soon, like a chain reaction, that more fires appeared in more places. The sky seemed to be shrouded in smoke and dust, and standing on the top of the building, Zhao Huasheng smelled a breath of death and madness.
Helicopters began to appear in the sky, and shrill sirens began to sound in the city, but the sirens only lasted for a while before they disappeared, and the helicopters only hovered in the sky and never fell.
"It's calm down here, I'm going down to save people." Zhao Huasheng pointed below and said.
Meng Zhuo waved his hand a little weakly: "It's useless. The chaos has spread, how many people can you save alone? ”
"How many can be saved." Zhao Huasheng said firmly: "I have learned some first-aid knowledge, even if there is no medicine and equipment, my first-aid knowledge will be of some use." Whereas...... As long as one more person can be saved, there will be a little more hope for our civilization. ”
"Okay, I'll go with you." As if infected by Zhao Huasheng, Meng Zhuo finally nodded.
The two of them came down from the roof of the building again and returned to the long street. Zhao Huasheng squatted on the ground, put his finger on the neck of a person with his eyes closed, and noticed that this person had no heartbeat, so he quickly left and walked next to the next person.
The man still seems to have a little heartbeat. So Zhao Huasheng quickly conducted a simple examination on him, and then began to do artificial respiration, then tore off his clothes, and used a wooden stick to fix his broken bones......
Zhao Huasheng doesn't seem to see the evil, bloodshed and terror that exist on this long street, Zhao Huasheng just wants to save people, the more the better.
Meng Zhuo's ears seemed to sound the words that Zhao Huasheng had just said: "As long as we can save one more person, our civilization will have more hope." ”
So the thought came to Meng Zhuo's heart: "Perhaps, he can really save our civilization." [End of chapter]
