Chapter 2: The Crowd
The panicked crowd couldn't help but gather in the bright place, making the mall a lot of people, and the crowded crowd made Wang He involuntarily follow him up the stairs, saying that it was not necessarily true, because he was squeezed upstairs by the crowd almost without touching the ground.
However, the condition of the upper floors is not very good, or even worse, from time to time someone is squeezed from the edge of the railing and falls downstairs, and the crowd will suddenly and inexplicably cause a burst of commotion and screaming, many of them have blood stains on their bodies, and they don't know where they are injured or rubbed.
There was still a crowd of people pouring in outside the mall, but there were countless people upstairs pushing downstairs to get out, people from the outside wanting to come in, people inside wanting to get out, which caused even more chaos, and the crowd pushing and swearing each other quickly turned into a fight.
In this chaos, Wang He dodged around with his tall physique, and he didn't know how many times he was beaten before moving from the center of the conflict to the corner.
"Bang!" Something smashed head-on, Wang He hurriedly covered his head with both hands to block the vital point, but despite this, he also smashed him, and when he looked closely, it was a garbage can, and the person who attacked him not only did not stop, but rushed forward in a few steps to commit violence again.
Originally, after experiencing an extremely bloody scene outside, Wang He was a little frightened and excessive, an ordinary civilian, where had he ever seen this kind of scene, but now he was frightened, and he was frequently attacked, and his anger "soared" and came up.
This time there was no dodging, Wang He stepped forward instead, his shoulders slammed into each other, his arms were wrapped, and he put the other party to the ground with a hug, picked up the strong arm that had been pulling the bow and shooting arrows all year round, and smashed the big fist of the casserole.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After a few punches, the other party was smashed and dizzy, in order to protect himself, he desperately pushed his waist hard, and actually flew up on the top of Wang He's big head, Wang He planted back, knocked open a door and rolled in.
Perhaps frightened by Wang He's counterattack, this man did not dare to pursue, turned around and ran in other directions.
Wang He rolled around a few times, jumped up with a very fast reaction, and made a defensive posture, but no one chased him, and when he looked around, he actually arrived in the stairwell.
There were a lot of people in the corridor, all of them were panicked and wanted to escape, Wang He knew that the first floor had been blocked by the crowd rushing in, so it was better to find other exits, so he ran upstairs in the crowd retrograde.
He was knocked down several times and was almost trampled to death by the crowd, but despite this, he climbed to the third floor with difficulty, where he met three security guards who were also traveling in the wrong direction.
Seeing Wang He, who finally climbed up, the three security guards looked surprised, and only after some inquiries did they know the reason, the security guards were naturally very familiar with the mall, and told him that there were other exits, in the staff work area at the other end of the mall building.
But at this time, they can't leave, the fourth floor is the floor where the owner of the mall is located, the boss called the security guard for help, and promised many benefits, the security guards are desperate to go upstairs to save people.
Wang He didn't know anything about the place, he didn't know where the so-called employee area was, and asked them to show him the way, to which the three security guards said that they could only take him out after finding the boss, and Wang He had no choice but to go upstairs with them.
The security guards shoved the crowd with their blast forks, and finally climbed to the fourth floor amid the angry gaze of the people.
As soon as I pushed open the glass door on the fourth floor, I saw two or three employees lying on the ground without knowing whether they were alive or dead, with a large pile of red blood and torn and torn clothes.
The security guards trembled with fright, they had seen this kind of scene there, the explosion-proof fork in their hands was shaking, and they were hesitant to move forward, and they must have regretted taking this deal.
"Afraid of what? Isn't that what you usually train for? Think about 100,000 per person, how long do we have to work as a security guard to earn this 100,000? ”
A short, thin, middle-aged security guard in his forties patted the other two on the back, and while the language was bewitching, he inadvertently pushed them forward a little, but he quietly took a step back.
The entire fourth floor was in a mess, four or five crazy "people" were tearing at a female employee, and there were at least a dozen people huddled together in the corner, shouting and screaming, but none of them dared to step forward.
Wang Hecai didn't care about their little thoughts, snatched an explosion-proof fork, and strode in.
The security guard who followed Wang He in front saw the boss in the crowd from afar and shouted: "Mr. Huang! Mr. Huang! We're here to save you......"
"Captain Yang, you're here, catch these crazy people, they're eating people......"
Mr. Huang looks like a successful person's dress, his oily hairstyle is now a little messy, and his high-end suits and delicate leather shoes always feel a little wet.
They were shouting here, and the zombies who were eating people were not happy, and they rushed to the crowd and Wang He with a "whoop".
Seeing the zombies rushing towards him, Wang He said that it was fake that he was not afraid, but the zombies were already close in front of him, and he couldn't afford to be afraid and hesitate anymore, as if reflexively, he picked up the explosion-proof fork and pulled it towards the zombies.
The body that has been exercising all year round has naturally a lot of strength, but with just a fork, the zombie was pumped aside, followed by a kick, kicked down a work desk, and pressed the zombie underneath.
The zombies rushed into the crowd and bit several people one after another, the explosion-proof fork in Wang He's hand picked left and right, stabbed the zombies aside, stepped forward and dragged the eager Captain Yang away, lifted Mr. Huang's collar, and pulled the other party in front of him like a chicken.
"Where is the exit from the employee area?"
Mr. Huang screamed in panic while slapping Wang He, and was repeatedly asked several times before answering his question with a crying voice
"Over there! Over there...... Woo woo......" After speaking, he pushed Wang He away in a panic and retreated as if fleeing.
"What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Huang's ......" Captain Yang of the security guard grabbed the sturdy Wang He, and jumped to pull him away, but before he finished speaking, a zombie pounced and threw him to the ground, and in a burst of wailing and crying, he tore down.
"Ah......" Mr. Huang screamed in fright, his exquisite suit pants were a little wet, Wang He stepped forward and kicked away the zombie, and saw a bloody hole in Captain Yang's neck, and he couldn't survive.
Mr. Huang was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he shouted in a panic: "Run, go downstairs quickly......" After speaking, he didn't care about others, and ran to the other side of the fourth floor.
Seeing this, Wang He hurriedly followed, and everyone also reacted and chased after them, and suddenly, several corpses that collapsed on the floor in front of them suddenly shook violently, and they stood up in a daze, and pounced on Wang He who ran over.
Wang He was shocked, there was a panicked crowd behind him, and he couldn't stop at this time, he would definitely be knocked to the ground, so he simply flashed to the side, and let the people who were chasing after him jump on a desk.
Behind him was a security guard, who saw the zombie standing up in front of him, and was so frightened that he staggered a few times, and was hit by the person who caught up behind him, and the whole person "snapped" and fell to the ground, and slid forward for several meters, just sliding at the feet of the zombie.
The zombie tripped over the prey sent to the door, and when he got up, he pounced on it and bit it, Wang He took the opportunity to jump, jumped over the zombie, and with a flick of the explosion-proof fork in his hand, knocked down another zombie, pushed open the door of the corridor and ran out.
The stairs were now even more chaotic, with people desperately running downstairs, zombies chasing and biting, humans and zombies mingling up the stairs, screams and roars making the whole scene even more terrifying.
Wang He didn't have time to think about it, so he joined the chaos headlong, the long explosion-proof fork couldn't be used here at all, and he didn't know where to throw it after a while.
Fortunately, he took his cycling suit, knocked his head into a biting zombie, jumped down the stairs in a few steps, and reached the third floor.
Relying on his height, Wang He lifted a garbage can and crashed downstairs, just rushed to the second floor, and a group of people rushed up downstairs, almost all of them were injured, with unconcealed horror on their faces, and ran upstairs desperately.
Wang He became the retrograde person again, but there were too many people going upstairs, and even the zombies couldn't stop the impact of the crowd, and they were trampled into meat after being hit.
Wang He, who was surrounded by the crowd, was uncontrollably taken to the office area on the second floor, and squeezed until he stopped by the window.
The crowd that had not stopped the riot became even more agitated, starting from the stairwell to crowd inward, Wang He jumped on a table and saw that a large number of zombies were besieging the crowd, and every time they pounced, a large number of people would fall.
Everyone was squeezing backwards, trying to squeeze to the back of the crowd, as if they could get a chance to survive, but unfortunately it was always in vain, and the injured people in the crowd also began to mutate at this time, falling down one after another, and one after another had to stand up and bite at the people nearby.
A series of accidents, finally crushed people's last tense nerves, fear to the extreme is rage, people desperately picked up everything around them that can be used as weapons, roared, angry rush to the zombies, finally, this is no longer a one-sided slaughter of zombies.
To live or to perish.
Humanity is always facing this problem, whether it is in the face of disasters, wars, plagues or death, human beings always rise from prayer and face the fear that an individual may be destroyed, but in exchange for the survival of a species.
People who were frightened by death, but were inspired by the courage of others, no longer retreated, and followed the example of others, and lifted everything available to them and rushed towards the zombies.
