Chapter 63 Rescue Broadcast
But before Zhuang Moxing could explain, a loud broadcast suddenly sounded outside.
"To all surviving citizens! Emergency notice, emergency notice! Officials have confirmed that a sudden solar eclipse occurred around the world a few days ago. Along with it, a highly contagious and widespread virus is rapidly spreading among humans. It is tentatively named the Zombie Virus.
Those infected by the zombie virus will develop symptoms such as a bluish-gray complexion, vertical pupils, increased strength, loss of sanity, and a thirst for blood and cannibalism...
People who are bitten or scratched by infected people have a high chance of being infected. The government will organize personnel to rescue the trapped people as soon as possible..."
"A temporary shelter for survivors has been established in the southeastern suburbs of S City. Citizens who are able to protect themselves are requested to proceed there... Before departing, please be sure to prepare weapons and sufficient food.
The infected's weak point is above the neck. Killing infected people during an emergency is considered legitimate self-defense, and the authorities will not hold them accountable...
Please stay calm and don't panic. Rescue is on the way. Rescue is on the way... The specific address of the shelter will be announced five times at the end of the broadcast. Please remember it!"
"The Chinese nation is facing its most severe test in history. Please have faith in the country, the Party, and the government. With the people of this country united as one, we will surely overcome this difficult time and usher in a brand new tomorrow!"
At one point, all the radios that could be mobilized in the entire S city were officially mobilized, and inspiring words were played in a loop throughout the entire S city.
Countless zombies were attracted by the deafening broadcast sound and gathered around the radio player, roaring.
At the same time, many families and many desperate people who survived in S City rekindled their hope for life.
In the huge city of S, in addition to the deafening sound of the broadcast, there were also the excited shouts of many men, women, young and old, suppressed sobs, and the wailing of those who had grasped at a straw in despair!
S City No. 2 Middle School, high school teaching building, cram school classroom.
“Bang!”
There was a sudden sound of flesh falling, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, and a pool of bright red blood flowed out of the young and lively body. No, it was already a corpse.
The smell of blood filled the air, and the zombies around immediately rushed over. Immediately, more than a dozen zombies pounced on the girl's body and began to tear it apart.
“Xiyi!!”
A girl's shrill scream came from the upper floor of the teaching building, and then the surroundings returned to silence, with only the sound of zombies chewing flesh and the incessant roaring.
A dozen disheveled high school students crowded at the window of the teaching building, covering their mouths with their hands and suppressing their sobs.
"Should we dance?"
"Is she dead...is it painful..."
"I want to jump, but I'm afraid I won't die immediately. It would be too painful to be torn apart by zombies. I'm a man! I'm not as brave as Ma Xiyi!"
Since yesterday, I haven’t been able to reach them on the phone or connect to the internet. I wonder if my parents are still alive?
Once their food ran out this morning, the most realistic outcome would be either starvation or being eaten alive by the zombie classmates who kept banging on the door outside the classroom.
Instead of this, it’s better to end your own life!
"I'll be next!"
The boy next to her also secretly hated himself for not being brave enough. He didn't even have the courage to commit suicide as the girl did. He stepped onto the windowsill with his long legs and was about to jump down.
However, at this moment, a clear, pleasant, and extremely soothing female voice suddenly came from above the teaching building, the kind that they used to be annoyed by.
But at this moment, this voice was undoubtedly the sound of nature, and every word turned into hope and poured into their hearts.
Listening to the hope in their ears and looking down at their classmates who had been eaten to a pulp, they could no longer suppress their excitement.
The girls' eyes were wide open with reddened expressions, and big tears rolled down the backs of their hands, which they couldn't wipe away no matter how hard they tried.
The stronger boys also had tears in their eyes. They gritted their teeth to hold back the tears, and the emotions in their eyes changed from disbelief to renewed vitality.
For countless survivors trapped in the confined space, the feeling of unreality gradually disappeared when the radio sounded, and instead a desire to survive gradually revived.
Outside the apartment, Li Guangzong, who was originally furious because Xu Yang prevented him from taking revenge, now excitedly grabbed Xu Yang's arm.
"Xu Yang, we're saved! The government is here to save us!"
Xu Yang's eyes were also full of surprise, and a smile overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
"I heard it!"
But their reaction was completely different from Wang Zhiwei's home, which was less than a step away from them.
At this time, desperate cries were heard from Wang Zhiwei's house!
"What! You can get infected if you get scratched by a zombie?!"
"Husband, what are you talking about? Husband, your hand! What's wrong with your hand?!"
"No, no... It's just a little bit, it's okay. The broadcast said it's just a chance, I must be one of the people who won't be infected. It's okay, don't be afraid... Woohoo..."
Wang Zhiwei couldn't control his tears and angrily pushed away his wife who wanted to see his injured hand.
"What are you asking? I'm fine, but you're yelling that something's wrong! Shut up and get me something to eat!"
"Honey, where else do we have food? We finished it all this morning."
"You fucking..."
…
Li Guangzong, who was just across the door, was immersed in the joy of the government broadcast. He listened to everything Wang Zhiwei and his wife said and looked at Xu Yang in surprise.
"You stopped me because..."
"Well, he won't live long."
While secretly enjoying the fact that this family was getting their comeuppance, Li Guangzong suddenly remembered something and chuckled at Xu Yang teasingly, "Wow, some people are quite confident. You can survive being scratched by zombies, but others won't survive long if they're caught."
