Chapter 35: Riots

They had been trapped here for almost a week, and when they heard through various channels that this place was going to be evacuated, everyone's hearts were rekindled with hope for the future. The government is really the strongest support in everyone's heart, even if a disaster occurs suddenly, it still quickly organizes rescue, and does its best to save everyone who survives.

However, the Republic of Rus in the north has been in constant conflict with the Xia State for many years, and no one knows if they will take this opportunity to suddenly move south, so even if the whole society has obviously begun to have turmoil, those people in the higher places still don't think that this is a serious problem. After all, maybe it's just a slightly strange illness, can it still destroy the country?

Therefore, the troops stationed on the northern border all year round only sent a company of no more than 100 people, and even their original mission was not to rescue the people, but to ensure the safety of a big man who came here to review. Even so, the local government and the small army saw the situation change and quickly launched rescue operations, and the survivors who were hiding in various corners began to gather here.

However, the government was in such a hurry that they didn't even know how to detect the survivors who had gathered here for the unknown disease. The entire city's hundreds of thousands of people, even if countless people turned into zombies overnight, frantically tore apart every living creature standing beside them, and thousands of people survived and gathered here.

Those who have money are swaying their money, clamoring to be the first to evacuate, those who have no money are begging for fear of leaving them, and some of the people from some backgrounds are arrogant and shouting insults at the soldiers who guard the crowd, and even those who work in the government also demand all kinds of privileges. The contradictions between the classes are so evident in the critical moment that the most important things are overlooked even when the officials are too busy with their worries.

Some have wounds on their bodies, while others don't look unusual.

There are so many people that no one notices what's going on around a corner. The crowd was so noisy that several people with frantic expressions frantically bit the woman lying on the ground, but no one noticed her hoarse screams. The mutation is like a ripple spreading in the water, as a small stone falls, it spreads out towards the entire surface of the water in a circle. By the time the people on the shore found out what was wrong, the surging waves were enough to swallow everyone in their way.

The crowd fled in all directions, panicked, frightened, desperate, like sheep chased by wolves, huddled and screaming, not knowing what they were going to do or where they could go. So they frantically attacked the original order, running in all directions, and even the soldiers and officials who stood in front of them turned into obstacles that were flattened under their feet in the face of this torrent.

The soldiers received the order to suppress the riots, and the hesitation in their eyes had not faded, and the corpses that had fallen to the ground had already stood up again, pounced on them, and tore at their flesh. Perhaps, in peacetime, a well-disciplined army can hold off any enemy coming from the front. But when the enemy became every corpse on the ground that could crawl up, and even when he saw one of his companions standing beside him suddenly spat blood and roared, and then pounced on his best brother beside him, fear spread in his heart, and all that remained was to flee.

The company of more than 100 people suddenly collapsed, and the crowd poured into the government building in the chaos, and when Wang Yao found that the situation outside was not right, and went down with a few guards to check, he only saw that behind the crazy crowd were swarming zombies. He wanted to save the few brothers who were still covering the retreat of the people in the chaos, but it was too late, the bullets hit the zombies who didn't know the pain had no effect, and the zombies with broken arms still bit off a piece of flesh on a soldier.

The zombies pounced on the last few soldiers outside, and the terrible screams made the scalps of the few who rushed to support tingle. They are soldiers and have never been afraid of casualties and sacrifices, but being bitten by zombies and eaten alive like this has become a nightmare in everyone's heart. A young boy who had just enlisted in the army suddenly fell off the steps with a slump on his feet.

Before Wang Yao could even hold him, he saw that more than a dozen zombies had already run up the steps, and the poor boy was covered in blood and rolled down among the zombies. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, hurriedly closed the security door, turned around and looked at the trembling crowd hiding in various corners behind him, the evacuation point of thousands of people, is this one person left? A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped him, and he slowly sat down against the door, behind which were zombies frantically banging against the glass.

He was an officer in the Frontier Army, and at the age of twenty-five, he was promoted to the rank of captain of a guard for his bravery in battle, and when the company first arrived in the city, he took six guards with him to take care of the security of the officer upstairs. Everything was going well, and even though it seemed like something was suddenly happening in the city, it didn't matter to him. As long as he protects this chief, his mission will be successfully accomplished.

But all of a sudden, it seemed that everything had changed, and the incessant screams and gunshots that rang out from time to time made the environment that had been restored to order noisy again. He was ordered to go down and see what was happening, but it turned out to be such a scene of purgatory on earth. Until now, his mind was still the boy's eyes asking for help before he died, and he could still hear the mournful cry coming from outside.

That's right, sir! Nothing should happen upstairs, right? You have to make sure the safety of the chief first!

He didn't dare to take the elevator, this kind of thing would always be full when it was dangerous, and no one knew if it would suddenly stop in mid-air or fall violently. climbed to the third floor in one breath, but Wang Yao's heart gradually calmed down, and he kept telling himself to be calm, calm down! As a result, as soon as I walked to the third floor, I found that there were also a few shaky figures slowly approaching the door of the office where the chief was!

Wang Yao quietly bowed down, flicked his fingers, and held the dagger in his hand, as long as it was not a group of corpses, a few lonely zombies were nothing to him. When they slowly moved behind several zombies under the cover of the table, the smell of the living finally caught their attention.

Before the zombies could turn around, he kicked the back one to the ground with a sweep, then got up and punched the next one in the neck that was twisting and made a click, and the body fell to the ground. The dagger pierced the forehead of the last zombie straight, black blood slowly flowed down the blade, and the zombie under his feet was about to get up, Wang Yao stepped on its spine with one foot, and crushed it hard, and the struggling body stopped moving.

After dealing with these zombies, Wang Yao didn't open the office door immediately, turned his head to look at the stairs leading to the fourth floor, and hurriedly ran over! Something is wrong with it too, the passage has to be blocked! The qualities of an excellent officer were vividly reflected in him at this time, and when he cautiously came to the fourth floor, he was full of walking corpses and bleeding stumps on the ground. "Bang!" The door was closed, and he saw the bicycle lock that he had thrown in the corner, locked the two handles on the door together, and blocked the desk from the door to the staircase little by little, before sitting on the ground gasping for air.

"Smack!" A slap hit Wang Yao hard in the face.

"Do you know that just because of your dereliction of duty, I was almost eaten by a monster? They're stuck in the office doorway! The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a big belly, with thin hair, but thick eyebrows and big eyes, revealing the momentum of a superior person when he spoke.

Wang Yao straightened up and stood there, but he didn't move, and he didn't defend anything, and a red mark slowly appeared on the right side of his face that was beaten. His calm gaze seemed to see no one, and he just looked straight ahead, as if it wasn't hitting him.

Some people only care about others. And some people only care about themselves.
