"But let me be frank. Once you leave the site, your life and death are at your own risk. If you get into danger, no one will come to your rescue."
Wang Dahu scoffed: "Danger? Where's the danger?"
He spoke loudly, as if afraid no one could hear him: "Those officials have been saying there are mutant creatures that will attack people. We've been underground for so long, has anyone seen any creatures?"
"We are starving and freezing down there, while those officials are enjoying the best food and the best drinks up there."
"I, Wang Dahu, want to go out and take a look today. I'm not like you who just believe whatever others say. The world outside may have already returned to normal!"
You know what, there are actually people who believed Wang Dahu’s lies and started to make moves.
How could Zhou Jing not know what he was up to? The group of people were pretending to go home. In fact, they just wanted to take the opportunity to go out and buy things for free since the temperature had risen.
Zhou Jing signaled to others to move aside, and soon Wang Dahu and his men left in a swagger.
As soon as Wang Dahu left, several other families came over. However, when they passed by Zhou Jing, they looked a little embarrassed: "Sister Zhou, we're not leaving. We're just going home to get some things, okay?"
Zhou Jing said expressionlessly, "Whatever you want."
She has already said both good and bad things, and there are still people who want to go out and die, why is she stopping them?
Zhou Jing led her people back to the station's staff lounge. Someone worriedly asked, "Sister Zhou, I see quite a few people have been persuaded by Wang Dahu and want to leave. Are we really going to leave them alone?"
Zhou Jing shook her head. "Good words can't persuade damned ghosts. They think the authorities and we are bluffing. Let them go out and see for themselves."
Zhou Jing and her team had witnessed the power of mutated creatures, namely mutated ants. At that time, one of their team members was bitten by an ant, and his entire arm was corroded as if it were soaked in sulfuric acid, leaving only bones.
In the end, the man died in front of them. No one could forget that scene.
"We just need to maintain the basic stability of this site. We won't stay here forever." Zhou Jing lowered her voice, "Construction of Area 3 has already begun. We, the stability maintenance team, have the first right to enter. I told you before, all our hard work will not be in vain."
The others were delighted to hear this.
You have to know that they have been busy working to stabilize the survivors at Honghua Station. When there are too many people, conflicts will arise frequently. These thirty or so people are spinning like tops every day.
Although the government also gave some subsidies to their stability maintenance personnel, it was really a drop in the bucket.
It would be a lie to say that they have no complaints. Everyone is having a hard time. Who would want to care about the life and death of strangers at this time?
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed coldly: "But Wang Dahu is right about one thing. We need to go out and take a look."
"If he wants to see it, let him go. It will save us from taking any more risks."
"Just wait and see. If they encounter danger, they'll come back on their own." Zhou Jing shrugged. "Let's just wait and see what happens. Why not?"
The same thing happened at other sites, and some sites were even in complete chaos. Many people, seeing the situation warm up, ignored the advice and wanted to leave.
The city is dead silent when it is frozen.
But after the weather warmed up, the whole city suddenly became bustling.
The original ice surface had long since melted, and the flood that once submerged the city seemed to have found an outlet, dripping into the sewers. The ground seemed to have become a sponge that absorbed water. In just half a day, although the city was still wet, the ground was completely exposed.
But what followed was... chaos! This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
