Chapter 112: Panic Spreads
After Su Lifeng and the dog drove away from the city center, they found that not only the people surrounding the quarantine zone were emotional, but even the situation on the street had changed dramatically.
Many people have come out on the streets from their places of work or homes to try to learn more from others.
From some people's conversations, Su Lifeng heard that except for a small number of radio stations and national television, most of the media have been banned, and those that remain are also propaganda not to panic and "refute rumors". In addition, many websites have been blocked, and there is not much information to be learned from the Internet.
But that doesn't stop anything.
There is a lot of congestion at the entrance of supermarkets and shopping malls, and it is too late to close. Even the shops that had closed in time were smashed open by the crazy crowd. Except for the first group of people who snapped up, as the number of people grew, it almost completely evolved into robbery.
Only then did the dog realize that the one he saw in the quarantine area was nothing, these normal people who usually looked ordinary were no different from thugs at this time, and even someone really smashed open the door of the gold store. Outside an ATM, several young people were smashing the machine desperately.
Even the fruit stall on the side of the road, such a small business did not escape the fate of being robbed, the middle-aged farmer who sold fruit tried his best to stop it, but was pushed to the ground by someone, and could only squat aside and cry. And those who robbed didn't even look at him more.
"Here you go, take the money." A stack of money was suddenly delivered to him, and as soon as the middle-aged man raised his head in astonishment, he found that there was no one in front of him, only those who robbed him of his fruit were falling to the ground and snorting bitterly.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, grabbed the money tremblingly, and then stuffed it into his arms: "Good man, good man......"
"Brother Su, don't get out of the car suddenly." The dog was carrying two boxes containing xenomorphs, and it felt very stressful to stand on the side of the street.
Just by standing there, someone tried to snatch his box, possibly mistaking the xenos it contained as his belongings.
As a mutant, of course, the dog will not be robbed on the street, but his heart is extremely angry.
It's still like a normal city, it's a big madhouse. The eyes of some of them, he felt terrible to look at.
"The traffic jam is so bad that I don't know where these people are going to flee out of the city. It's better to walk. After improving his physical strength, Su Lifeng was already very accustomed to walking, anyway, it was not too far from the road to the suburbs, and the traffic in the city was close to paralysis. As for the matter of helping the farmer just now, Su Lifeng didn't take it to heart, and the money didn't mean much to him.
In fact, after watching this way, he had a feeling of powerlessness. Maybe it's because of his appearance, even after he got out of the car, he was pushed by someone, although the other party was immediately kicked upside down by him and flew out, and he couldn't get up for half a day, but you can also see how messy it is now.
Those who looted the goods were robbed by others in the blink of an eye, and the riots escalated step by step. Under the influence of the big atmosphere, there are quite a few people who have gone crazy. Some of those patrolmen have not come to their senses themselves, and it is very difficult to maintain order by relying on them alone.
The way things developed like this was actually beyond Su Lifeng's expectations, and he originally thought that many people would still be skeptical before the news was completely confirmed. Just like the "doomsday crisis" that has been spread several times before, no matter how bad it is, there are always many people who don't believe it.
But this time it seems different...... The economic downturn, the wave of unemployment, and the flood of deaths all came together, and then suddenly exploded because of an unprecedented mayoral speech.
The spread of panic is inevitable.
"Not to mention that there are likely to be xenomorphs secretly guiding and taking the lead in making trouble, and there are also many people who are taking advantage of the fire to rob. Those alien species in the quarantine area may have restrained most of the elite combat power in Ningnan City......" Su Li Feng said secretly.
However, as we got closer to the suburbs, the situation gradually stabilized, and a large number of troops were marching from outside the city. Some of the thugs were quickly subdued. In the face of a heavily armed army, these people, who at most use kitchen knives as weapons, have no combat effectiveness at all.
But at the same time, there was a sudden appearance of xenomorphs and killing into the crowd. As a result, the scene frequently spiraled out of control. This also proves that Su Lifeng's guess is indeed not wrong.
The convoy out of the city was stopped at various intersections, and Su Lifeng took a closer look and found that the road to the suburbs was still unaffected. He carefully bypassed the army with the dog and walked into the alley.
"Brother Su, I picked up a motorcycle!" The dog was very excited and pushed a motorcycle over.
"......" Su Lifeng stared at the motorcycle silently, now he can really pick up anything on the road...... And I'm afraid that's just the beginning. The military can maintain temporary stability, but it is impossible to truly stabilize a rioted city of millions of people, especially with the frequent activities of the aliens.
And in fact, even if it is maintained, it is useless......
But at this moment, Su Lifeng suddenly felt a vibration of his mobile phone, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was a number he didn't recognize.
"Hello?" After the phone was answered, Su Lifeng heard a somewhat panting male voice.
Su Lifeng frowned: "Who are you?" ”
After hearing Su Lifeng's answer, the other party laughed, but this laughter was a little distorted no matter how it sounded.
"You forgot? You ignored me last night, why did you forget about me? Yes? ”
Su Lifeng was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became gloomy: "How did you get my phone?" ”
"What, in a hurry? Well, I can tell you're in a hurry. It's good, it's good to be in a hurry. The other party continued, and laughed again, "You come to the riverside village now, and I will give it to you...... Twenty minutes. Come alone, or else...... And she was doomed. ”
Immediately after, Liang Junyu hung up the phone.
Su Lifeng took the phone and slowly clenched his fists, originally he didn't take this person in his eyes, but now it seems that just like Zhu Hao, once ordinary people have bad intentions, it is also very harmful, even if they are usually well-dressed people.
"I'm still too soft...... Su Lifeng said secretly.
At the same time, the side of the road in the riverside village.
Liang Junyu lowered his arm, and then glanced at the bloodstained mobile phone in his hand.
A woman's voice came from the side: "Why can't you even catch a girl?" ”
The smile on Liang Junyu's face disappeared suddenly......
