Chapter 9: Man-made Disaster

The British man strode over, Kaiming panicked, looked left and right, all indifferent eyes, hungry people only care about food, who cares about morality, there are not a few people in the crowd who have the mentality of watching the excitement, maybe there are still people who want to take advantage of the chaos to grab things.

It was precisely because of this that the British dared to approach with swagger.

"You can't hurt him. ”

Kai Ming didn't expect An Yi to rush out from the side and block in front of him, but the small body of the Asian woman was nothing in front of the sturdy British, and with a hard push, she fell to the ground.

Seeing his woman being treated like this by others, it was more painful than directly pumping on Kaiming's body, he didn't care about the leg injury, and rushed straight over, but he was punched in the face and went to the ground.

Seeing this, Angel immediately guarded her sister and brother-in-law, "You can take things, but you can't hurt us." ”

The Englishman ignored them, walked alone to the two bags of food, which were full of packaged food and mineral water, he took out a packet of hot dogs, felt a large hand on his shoulder, and looked back to see an old fellow in a guard's uniform.

"They obviously don't belong to you, it's banditry. The guard said with a frown.

The Englishman turned to face the guard who was shorter than himself, grabbed him by the collar and said, "Don't talk to me about benevolence, righteousness and morality, this world is finished, and only the law of the jungle is the way to survive." ”

The corner of the guard's mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule, and he deliberately lifted his coat to reveal the pistol in his wallet, "Do you need me to teach you etiquette?"

The Englishman gritted his teeth, loosened the guard's collar, and walked to the side in a gray manner.

"Wait. The guard stopped him and pointed to the pack of hot dogs in his arms.

He threw it to the guards and whispered beside him, "Please don't pretend, you're not a saint either." ”

The guard shrugged, "At least I'm a rank higher than you." ”

After seeing the British leave, the guard turned around and walked up to Kaiming, raised the hot dog in his hand and said, "Am I getting something for nothing?"

Kaiming had nothing to say but nodded.

The guard turned to the two bags of food and said to Angel, "Go ahead, don't let anyone take advantage of it." ”

"Thank you, we'll be optimistic. Angel said.

The old guard's mouth showed a wicked smile, "No, you are helping me take care of it." ”

Angel looked at his back as he left and sighed, "I just escaped from the jackal's den and fell into the tiger's den." ”

The three of them sat close together, trembling and frightened through the night, and in the early morning, loud gunshots resounded in the pyramid, and everyone woke up from their sleep.

An Yi and the crowd went to the passage and found the old guard lying on the ground, a pool of blood spreading from his head to the surroundings, and the Englishman standing nearby, holding a handful of silver*.

He must have gone crazy to snatch a gun and kill someone.

An Yi felt that the situation was not good and hurriedly retreated to the inner room of the pyramid.

The Brit crouched down and retrieved leather holsters and bullets from the corpse.

He couldn't let the corpse lie here all the time, he called a man and threw the guard's corpse out of the pyramid, and the beetles that came from the wind wrapped it in clusters, and after a few minutes, only clothes and shoes remained, and several beetles scrambled for metal badges, so they knew that this thing could not be eaten, and threw it on it at will, and when the last beetle also burrowed into the sand, the ground was calm again, and there were small footprints everywhere.

Seeing this terrible situation, the people who stayed in the passage to watch the excitement exclaimed, "Allah must be punishing this deplorable world." ”

The Englishman laughed, opened the pistol wheel, checked the bullets inside, loaded the vacant spot, and tucked the gun into a holster at his waist. As soon as he returned to the inner room, he walked straight to the three of them, and they had already guessed what he was going to do.

"Shameful murderer. Kaiming glared at the ill-intentioned man.

The British shrugged, "The first rule of survival in the last days is that the law of the jungle eats the weak, and mercy and morality will only make you hungry." ”

People have guns in their hands, and even has become arrogant. "You take all the things, but please don't hurt them. Kemin gestured to the two women beside him.

The two sides have a deep holiday, and Kaiming doesn't expect the British to let him go, but only wants to save his wife and sister-in-law.

The British didn't waste ammunition on them, they took two bags of food, went to the center of the inner room and said in front of everyone: "That's all the food, I'll take one portion, and I'll only give the rest to nine people, and you are willing to join my team." ”

Although you have a gun in your hand, you need to form a strong team to avoid the same fate as the guards.

Most of the people raised their hands to join in, but only the nine strongest men were able to divide the food, and the others continued to go hungry.

Each person was given a bunch of biscuits or a hot dog, enough to fill his stomach, and soon he felt hungry again. The pyramid is only a few hundred meters from the supermarket, and the outside is full of man-eating beetles, and no one dares to step here.

The three Cumins thought they were safe, but the Brits found them after they had eaten their fill.

"You, and you, come with me. He pointed to An Yi and An Qi.

When Kaiming heard this, he was anxious to get up and fight with him, but unexpectedly touched his injured foot and fell back to the ground.

The Englishman saw Kaiming's pitiful appearance and smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't break my heart, I just asked them to go outside and get some food and come back." ”

"It's full of bugs out there, and there's no way they're going to come back alive. Kaiming's face turned pale, and he grabbed the British's trouser leg and said, "There is a kind of hero who comes at me and bullies women." ”

"You?" the Englishman, glancing at Cumming's injured ankle, "You'd better stay here and stay out of the way." ”

Many people are watching the excitement, but no one has stopped this kind of thing from discovering whether the end times have made them indifferent, or if they are the way they are.

"Dog food. Cumming scolded the Englishman as he turned around, and was kicked hard, or deliberately on the wound, and he hugged his feet and howled, and even tears were forced out of his eyes.

The Englishman instructed his men to stop An Yi and An Qi, then dragged Kemin up and stared at his black eyes closely, "My name is George, remember it for me." ”

"Kaiming. He also responded unceremoniously.

Knowing that he couldn't keep the two women, Cumming fought for a chance to whisper to them, hoping that if they could get out safely, they wouldn't come back here.

An Yi and An Qi were silent.

They were taken to the exit of the pyramid by George and several men, who warned that if no one returned after three hours, they would kill Kemin. In other words, even if they die halfway, Kaiming will not survive.

With George's personality, in order to establish his prestige in front of everyone, he will definitely kill Kaiming.

Waiting for George to leave with the people, Angel shook An Yi, who was in a daze, and asked, "Sister, what now?"

She looked at the clothes left on the sand, and knew that the old guard had been eaten by insects, and if she went out rashly, she would definitely end up like him. So he took out his hotel key card and threw it on the sand.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

With her index finger gagged at her mouth, she motioned for her sister to keep quiet, and as expected, two beetles soon crawled out of the sand.

Angel is usually terrified when she sees cockroaches, not to mention a beetle the size of a palm, so she immediately hides behind her sister and watches in horror as two black insects move on the sand.

They bite the card, their tiny sense of touch probing the card, and when they know that the card is not edible, they turn their gaze to the two humans and burrow back into the sand.

"They seem to be tightly organized, and they are supposed to get information about their prey by sensing the vibrations and sounds of the ground. "Anyi combined with observations that beetles compete with each other for food, so they are not like ants in spontaneous groups, they can't share information with each other, just for food," "The bad thing is that as soon as we step on the sand, the beetles will come out, at first only two or three, but the movement will lead to a huge swarm of insects buried under the sand." We can fly without touching our feet, otherwise we will be eaten by insects halfway through. ”

"Sister, I'm scared. ”

As an archaeological site worker, An Yi has long been immune to small animals such as rats and cockroaches, but unlike her sister and sister who often go in and out of ancient tombs, An Qi is an ordinary urban white-collar worker, as long as there are cockroaches passing by on the ground, she does not dare to put her feet from the sofa to the ground all night.

"You stay here, my sister goes alone. An Yi patted her sister on the shoulder and said.

Angel shook her head vigorously, although the bugs are terrifying, they are no more tormenting than witnessing your loved ones being devoured alive in front of your eyes.

The two women stood at the exit of the pyramid in a dilemma, looking at the supermarket only two or three hundred meters away and sighing softly, there were only two choices at the moment, either to be bitten to death by the swarm, or to return to the pyramid and be shot with Kaiming.

"If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't have come to this hellish place. ”

My sister's unintentional words reminded An Yi, "By the way, we were driving a car when we entered this area, why didn't the movement at that time lead to beetles?"

"They're out. Angel said.

An Yi shook his head, "That was after we entered the supermarket, and there was a gap of about ten minutes or so. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Maybe the beetle goes dormant at some point in the day. This seems to be the most plausible explanation.

How do you find this safe time? There's no other way to do it than to test. An Yi took out all the things on her body, a string of keys to the house, a mobile phone and a wallet, and asked her sister to do the same.

She unleashed a key and threw it out of the pyramid, and the beetle came out of the sand to observe, and after ten minutes, she threw another one.

"Sister, I admire you, even at such a critical juncture, you can calmly come up with a solution. It's just that you're excellent, but some fool doesn't know how to appreciate it. ”

An Yi looked back at her sister, and guessed that the fool was her husband without asking. Because of a series of unexpected events, she forgot about the problems between husband and wife.

Seeing her bow her head, Angel continued: "Man, it's a strange creature, if you control it too tightly, he will suffocate, and if you are too permissive, he will think that you don't care about him." So you have to spoil him, but you can't make him complacent. ”
