Four hours later, the shore of the lake was finally set up and ready for battle.

With the removed doors and fire bodies used as shields, the survivors of the lakeshore formed a half-moon shape with their backs to the West Lake.

Between the shields, the water gunner clutched the hose tightly, his muscles tense.

"Ready!"

It is like a soldier waiting for the enemy to charge in ancient times.

The soldiers were extremely nervous, but they felt an unprecedented strength in their throbbing chests.

The previous four hours of close cooperation gave them hope!

It seems that as long as you can mobilize everyone's strength, even if you can't board the refuge ship on the lake, you still have the power to deal with submerged ghouls!

Fresh water!

As long as you have enough fresh water to use as ammunition, the monsters are not invincible!

"Ready!"

There was a sound in the streets and alleys in the distance,

From time to time, there were one or two screams, and the sound of the inferior papier-mâché security door being torn open.

The experience of the night before proved that if it was not an inferior anti-theft door with a paper shell inner core, but a serious alloy door, at least it could block the monster outside the door for a long time.

And as long as it stops for a while, the monster outside will lose interest and turn away.

Once they're gone, they're looking for their next target.

"Be careful!"

"Whew-"

Just taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was attracted from a distance, a red shadow sneaked up on the crowd deceitfully!

Fortunately, the high-pressure water cannon on the fire truck hit accurately, and with the huge impact force, the shadow was swept back several meters.

"Insidious garbage! Die! ”

Suddenly, several water guns focused on the red shadow.

"Wait! Stop it! Du Mingyue hurriedly stopped, "This amount of water, it should be dead!" ”

According to the combat experience of people dealing with submerged ghouls the day before yesterday, this ghoul should have already swelled and exploded and lost its ability to move.

The crowd burst into cheers of celebration all day long!

"Haha, that's it!"

"Haha-"

The smile suddenly froze.

I saw the red figure easily get up from the ground, shaking his body and shaking off the water on his body.

That's when people saw it clearly.

It was not the same thing as the submerged ghoul the day before yesterday.

"Ou woo ——!"

It let out a long, mournful roar, and in an instant, dozens of scarlet figures in the distant streets and alleys walked into the light, revealing their shapes.

Most of them also have a corpse in their mouths.

The mood of the crowd sank to the bottom.

"This ...... What is it? ”

"! Not a ghoul! It's not afraid of water! ”

"It's over......"

Everyone fell into an ice cellar in an instant.

It turned out that the efforts they had just made, the so-called united cooperation, and the little hope that had been ignited in their hearts.

Fundamentally, it's all a joke.

"Ahhh——! Save—"

The red shadow flew up and swooped the firefighter on the roof of the car into the distance.

Blood spilled under the car and on the faces of Du Mingyue and the others, and everyone couldn't make the slightest sound.

"Bang bang!"

The bullet from the pistol landed on Akainu's skin, and it seemed to hit the metal, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Nothing works.

"Ah——!h

"Help!"

"Du Mingyue! Command! Sister Du! ”

"Think of a way!"

Starting from the periphery, one after another bodies were taken away by the red dog without the power to resist.

Du Mingyue's brain went blank.

At this moment, there was a sound on the radio at hand.

[SOS…… This is a coastal refuge...... SOS……]

The caller's voice was already weak.

[The water has ...... Drowning to the neck...... We tried to block the inlet as much as possible to slow down the inflow of seawater...... But we can't stop it completely......]

[Oxygen is thinning...... The water is cold...... It's cold...... We can't breathe...... The hand also stiffened......]

[I hold up the radio...... But the radio station will soon be ...... ...... by water Grunt...... Submerged ......]

[Save us......]

[Please, anyone's good......]

[Save us......]

The futile pleas for help were repeated over and over again on the radio.

The sound grew fainter and weaker.

Everyone knew that death was already their destiny when they entered the bomb shelter.

It seems, just like them who are struggling in vain on the shore of the lake at this moment.

"Why ......"

Du Mingyue collapsed and sat on the ground, questioning the world like everyone around her.

"Why?"

Why do they treat their fellow citizens so cruelly, and why are humanity helpless in the face of this catastrophe?

You can only dodge, run, and devour each other.

Thousands of years of civilization! Tens of thousands of years of evolution! Only then did we have today's magnificent high-rise Qiongyu, and only then did we have that great miracle of civilization!

But overnight, do we have to degenerate into wild beasts?

You must be as cruel, cold-blooded, selfish as a beast, and do everything you can to exploit your own kind...... Will they be able to survive this catastrophe?

Could it be that the Ark was right?

Are they really the only answer of this era...... A unique solution?

Du Mingyue fell into confusion.

She thought that her beliefs were strong enough and correct enough, but at this moment, she began to doubt her entire value system.

Perhaps, it is really only that cold and rational balance of interests that is the only choice for the reproduction of the race......

Perhaps, the ark is right, in the last days, only in this way can cold-blooded selfishness live, and can the seeds of mankind be preserved.

"But we weren't born to survive." Gan Chongzhi stood up, opened his arms, and embraced the beautiful star ring and the Milky Way.

"Reproduction is a task given to us by genes, but we have the mind, we can pursue all possibilities outside of reproduction, and at the right time, we do not have the primary purpose of leaving offspring...... That's why humanity is here. ”

"Reproduction is the purpose of genes, and it needs to find ways to replicate itself to make itself ubiquitous. The evolution of civilization is the process of gradually getting rid of genetic control. Shift to consciousness-led, not genetic-based. ”

"If you really need a perfect right answer to anchor the direction. Then your correct answer is the one you want in your heart. ”

"And not some bullshit ark!"
