Chapter 12: The City of Chaos
Seeing that the group of people were all nervous, Li Rui didn't dare to rush up and shout, but first whispered hello to the man with a tiger's back.
"Huh? Is there anything wrong with you? Realizing that it was the young man in the same car who was greeting him, the man turned his head and replied.
"I just came out of the university today to buy something, only to find that it was getting ...... outside It's completely different, so I'd like to ask you what's going on. Li Rui said honestly.
"Oh, you're a college student." The man smiled helplessly, "Are you curious about our formation, we are also like this in the past two days......"
It turned out that since four or five days ago, all the monitoring probes in the vicinity of their sparsely populated residential areas at night have been slowly destroyed.
So in the past two days, the entire large residential area has been completely in the blind spot of monitoring, naturally, all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have all popped up, blocking the road and robbing that are all petty fights, what forced construction and murder, burglary and so on This kind of vicious cases that are rare in a few years, have happened a lot in the past few days.
And whether it's day or night, as long as you dare to be alone outside, sure that it doesn't take more than fifteen minutes, someone will definitely come to you to borrow money, if you obediently hand over your wallet, you will generally be safe and sound, but if you dare to resist, it is very conscientious not to beat you to death.
As for why security companies don't care?
Come on!
The staffing of the security company is in accordance with the standards agreed in the contract, and those standards are all formulated according to the usual security intensity.
Moreover, except for the wealthy neighborhoods in the center of the city, where security personnel are concentrated, the whole city of Harmoni is now almost like this, full of murder, arson, and silver robbery, and it is not enough to double the security personnel if you want to maintain law and order as before.
Besides, the security personnel are also people, and now these criminals are all powerful and powerful, since the day before yesterday and a certain outlaw had a score of 5 to 1, now in the patrol station here, no one is willing to risk their lives to catch the robbery heroes, as long as there is no big movement, no one will care.
After all, everyone just comes out to eat, and you can find another job if you don't have a job, so there is no need to put your life on the line for five insurances and one housing fund.
"So you formed your own mass self-defense group?" Hearing this, Li Rui almost understood that since the security company could not be counted on for the time being, the people who ate melons naturally had to find ways to protect themselves.
"Yes, that's right." The burly man pointed to the dozen or so people around him, "We are from Building 5 and Building 7, and now we are keeping vigil and going out together in both buildings." ”
"Oh, and taking the kids to school." As he spoke, the burly man suddenly pointed to a convoy in the distance.
Turning his head in the direction he was pointing, Li Rui saw a long queue of dozens of cars, driving towards this side at a speed of about 60 or 70 yards.
More than a dozen overcrowded buses opened the way, followed by countless private cars hanging behind them.
It didn't take long for the convoy to pull over nearby, and some of the private cars that didn't stop broke away from the group and drove directly into their respective neighborhoods.
Then, two of the buses opened the door and released hundreds of elementary school students, a few of them divided into several groups, and walked to the door of their respective communities, Li Rui counted, there were seven or eight people who walked to his side, no wonder more than a dozen adults were needed to watch it.
After receiving the students in the building, the burly man said hello to Li Rui and led the team away, and the convoy parked there, seeing that the primary school students were picked up by their parents safe and sound, also accelerated out of this residential area.
So, on the sidewalk that was still full of people just now, Li Rui was the only one standing there in a blink of an eye, and then, he looked back and forth, left and right, and found that it seemed to be really the same as the man said, it was still broad daylight, and there was not even a dog on the road, let alone people.
But this is also exactly what he wants, since there is no one around, and there are no cameras anymore, if you don't take a few heads now, when will you wait?
Looking for a back alley, Li Rui changed into a brand-new blue overalls, then put a resin mask on his head, fastened five elastic bands, and tried it again, it was indeed impossible to rip it off, it was really worth the money!
Pulling on his hood and carrying his schoolbag, Li Rui walked slowly in the direction of the university with his bare hands, and he didn't take the main road to drill the alley.
Along the way, the population was depressed, the shops were closed, and unconsciously, Li Rui walked nearly a kilometer, and only met two groups of people on the way, and they were all picking up students from school.
It's just that where have all those supposedly numerous criminals gone? After all, he has even encountered two waves of people who eat melons, and there is no reason to miss the bad guys who are more common than the masses!
With a stomach full of doubts, Li Rui knocked on the glass door of a convenience store on the side of the road, he was about to buy a bottle of water to quench his thirst, he had just walked for so long under the sun, and now he was covered in sweat and his throat was about to smoke.
Although the two glass doors are locked with iron chains, Li Rui estimates that there must be people inside, otherwise, they would have been emptied.
"Is there anyone? I'm going to buy something! After knocking for a long time and no response, Li Rui simply shouted directly, and then waited for a while, and the result-
Still no one cares!
"! It's shameless to give face, right? Since you ignore the good talk, then he can only change his routine, "If you don't open the door again, I'll set it on fire!" ”
"Don't! Big brother, come right away! As soon as Li Rui's words fell, a male voice immediately sounded.
Then, the door of the cubicle in the store was pushed open, and a middle-aged fat man ran out with a smile, "I'm sorry, big brother, I was in the toilet just now, and I didn't hear you calling me." ”
"That's it! Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get me a few bottles of mineral water! Li Rui waved his hand and said in an unkind tone.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring it right away." As he spoke, the middle-aged fat man ran behind the counter, took five bottles of mineral water quickly, ran to the door and stuffed it out of the crack in the door, and then gave Li Rui a plastic bag very considerately.
"Open the door, I'm going to go in and blow the air conditioner." After Li Rui dried a bottle of mineral water, he saw that there was a cabinet air conditioner in the house, so he kicked the door, wanting to go in and cool off.
"Big brother, my air conditioner is not turned on, and it's still hot inside!" The fat man laughed with him, and pointed to the north, "Thirty meters ahead, it is the east gate of the happy community, and the air conditioning in the security room at the door is on every day, you can go there to ensure that it is cool." ”
"Thirty meters?" Li Rui glanced at the fat man and warned: "If there is no security room there, you will definitely die!" ”
