Chapter 152: Night of the Beasts
On the sand dunes, several students were stunned for a moment, and finally looked at You Xi in unison.
She was holding a telescope and looking in the direction of the city.
Although they didn't know why she had a telescope in her backpack, it was obvious that the telescope was very useful in the current situation. When You Xi heard their question, she directly handed the telescope over.
With her vision, she could see the situation in the city clearly without a telescope. She actually took it out for them to use, so that they could see the movement in the city with their own eyes and then decide the next step.
She had a world mission reminder and knew that this change was the beginning of the end of the world, so when she saw the chaos in the city, her first feeling was that the infection was spreading.
But from what she had just observed, there were no BLOOD mutants in the places where there were explosions and fires. She thought it was her own negligence, so she checked carefully again and again, and finally confirmed that there were indeed no eye-catching bloody figures of mutants in the streets and alleys where the chaos occurred.
Instead, there were many armed policemen surrounding a certain building, putting out the fire on one hand and throwing tear gas into it on the other hand, and some policemen led people into the building.
Now even she couldn't help but wonder.
What's going on? Even if ordinary people have a latent period after being infected by BLOOD mutants, it is not possible that they can't see a single mutant.
All the police cars and fire trucks in the city seemed to have been dispatched, and there were even a few helicopters hovering over the city. Was this the reason why the rescue team failed to rush to the site where the plane made an emergency landing? After
several classmates took turns using telescopes to view the city in front of them, they were still a little confused: "Then will it still be useful for us to ask for help? Will anyone go to the site where the plane made an emergency landing to save people?"
"Let's try it first." Min Min took out his mobile phone and tried it, and found that there was already a signal. When they went abroad, they all activated global roaming calls, so as long as there was a signal, the mobile phone could be used. "Does anyone know the emergency helpline number of Diguo?"
"Call 999." Someone answered, "This is the number for emergency help and accident assistance."
Min Min tried for a moment, put down the phone and shook her head: "It's always busy, I can't get through."
Xiaonan, the girl who reported the number earlier, frowned: "It shouldn't be, even if there is an accident and chaos in the city, this kind of emergency help line can't be unreachable!"
Kong Lin looked in the direction of the city: "Unless something big happens in the city that paralyzes the emergency help line." As
he spoke, he turned on the phone screen and showed it to others. The video below was taken by the citizens of L City, Country D and uploaded to the Internet. He downloaded it immediately after seeing it. "I checked the situation in L City after I found that my cell phone had a signal. The peeling man incident could no longer be concealed. Not long after we left, incidents similar to the one at the amusement park occurred in various places in L City. Now the whole city of L City is under martial law, and half of the city has been blocked by armed police..."
The other classmates gathered around, and even the people from Country D couldn't help but go over to check it out because they found that the people in the video were speaking their own language.
In the video, bloody people wantonly attacked passers-by. They ran wildly on the street, roaring, biting their former family and friends, beating passers-by with sticks, and setting fires... like a group of irrational beasts.
In addition to the video of the "peeling man" attacking other people, there are also videos of armed police rushing to control the situation.
At first, they used weapons such as stun batons, batons, and slingshots, but these weapons had no effect on the "peeling man" except to anger them.
In the end, the armed police used a large number of tear gas bombs to barely control the situation.
Compared with the solemn silence of the students, several young people from Country D seemed particularly terrified. They were all from City B of Country D. They had never faced the "peeling man" before, and they had no idea that such a monster had appeared in their country.
They immediately took out their mobile phones and quickly called their family and friends to ask if they were safe.
"People in L city now call these mutants 'blood vampires'. Everyone's previous guess was correct. This kind of mutation is indeed contagious, otherwise it would not happen in multiple places in the same city at the same time."
Kong Lin put away his phone and pointed in the direction of the city. "Don't you think the chaos in L city in the video just now is very similar to the situation in the city in front of you?" Xiaonan
nodded first, then said, "But we have all seen it. There are several people in the city. There are no 'vampires' in the chaotic place, and it is possible that the chaos here has nothing to do with the mutant infection. It took us four hours to get here. We can't just stop at the city because of an uncertain guess, right? "
At this time, Min Min, who had been silent, spoke up: "No, the chaos in the two cities is not exactly the same."
You Xi looked at Min Min, and it seemed that she had discovered that this girl who shared the room with her was really smart.
"The videos of L City were all shot at night!" Min Min pointed out the key point, "It's almost noon now, but the videos of 'vampires' appearing and attacking passers-by all took place at night. The infection has now broken out in L City. The irrational 'vampires' can't possibly know how to choose the time. So, there is only one possibility--"
The classmates who listened carefully couldn't help but urge her when they saw her panting: "What possibility? Tell me!"
"Yeah, Min Min, what time is it now and you are still playing the detective game of saying half and keeping the other half!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Youxi came over and finished what Minmin hadn't said: "Vampires should have the characteristics of hiding during the day and coming out at night, or a weakness. Simply put, they are afraid of light, or sunlight. So, just because you didn't see any mutants in the telescope just now doesn't mean that the people in the city are not infected." As
she spoke, she put her backpack aside, took out a brand new protective suit from it and started to put it on: "I definitely want to go into the city, who will go with me?"
If possible, she also wanted to take a detour away from the city.
But as Xiaonan said, it took them four hours to get here. If they turned back, they didn't know how long they would have to walk to get out of the desert.
Besides, who can guarantee that the city on the other side of the desert will be safe?
The end of the world has begun, and we should never be complacent. They are now trapped in Di, which is still far away from Hua. It is not realistic to drive or sail back, so the most important thing at the moment is to reach the airport here.
Or, find a plane.
**
Radek is an ordinary Di businessman. He opened a small rain gear store on the edge of Baicheng. Although there are many deserts in Di, it still rains, and the sun is strong. Many tourists need parasols when traveling, so the business is generally okay.
The incident in the city started in the early morning. At first, only the sound of police cars rang everywhere, and then there were ambulances.
Then, from their residence above the store, they saw a fire in the distance. It seemed that people were rioting somewhere. Gradually, they could hear cries for help and a strange roar similar to that of a wild animal. Did a
wild animal enter the city? Or did the "pets" of the rich families go crazy and escape?
The lives of the common people were not as valuable as a "pet" of a rich family. Previously, a crocodile escaped and bit several people on the road. It also broke into a house and bit a child to death. In the end, it just paid compensation.
They were worried that this time some terrible "pet" would come out to cause trouble. They couldn't imagine their children being bitten or killed, so they got up and checked the small building from top to bottom.
This is the edge of Baicheng, commonly known as the civilian area, and the surrounding buildings are not high.
The store has an iron gate, and there are also protective iron railings outside the windows on the second floor. The protection facilities of the small building are not bad.
After the family of four finished the inspection, they closed the windows and drew the curtains. His wife slept in bed with the two children, and he stayed by the window to keep watch, looking outside through the gaps in the curtains from time to time.
But soon, a horrifying scene happened. Three or four bloody monsters appeared from the other side of the street, chasing five or six injured people, kicking and beating them all the way, throwing everything they could pick up at them, and even two of them roared and rushed to bite each other.
It was really like a beast's bite, bloody teeth cutting into the opponent's arms or cheeks, tearing off a large piece of skin and flesh, and a lot of blood gushed out.
The bitten people screamed in pain, but the biters did not spit out the flesh, but chewed and swallowed it directly.
Seeing this horrifying scene, Radek was shocked and scared. His legs went soft and he knelt down by the window, almost vomiting in disgust.
The son and daughter in the bed heard the noise outside and called out to their father, wanting to ask him what happened. When Radek heard them speak, he didn't know where his originally limp body got the strength from, and quickly rushed to the bed with extremely light steps, and covered their mouths on the left and right.
"Don't make a sound..." He spoke in a whisper, and with a solemn look, he immediately stopped the children's voice.
Radek didn't know what those things on the street outside were, but he knew the characteristics of wild animals. They had sharp five senses and could hunt through smell and sound.
At this moment, they who stayed in the bedroom were the hunted objects.
His intuition told him that he couldn't create light or make any sound, and it was best to stay quiet and motionless, so that he could avoid a devastating disaster.
His intuition was correct. Compared to their small building, other houses that woke up and turned on the lights or couldn't help screaming because of the unusual situation on the street were invaded by the bloody monsters.
They were extremely strong and smashed the door with the trash cans on the roadside. Some houses had no protective railings and the window glass was directly broken. The monsters easily broke into the house and continued to bite and kill...
He hugged his family tightly, and the four of them huddled in bed and dared not move.
It was not until dawn that the chaos outside slowly stopped. He got out of bed carefully and went to the window to check. The bloody monsters were gone, but there were people lying on the ground in blood.
Most of the people inside were alive, but their hands or feet were broken, and some had bloody holes on their faces, lying there unable to move...
He saw that the door of his neighbor's house was wide open, and blood was still flowing out of the door...
He called the emergency number, but the police car and ambulance took a long time to arrive.
Explosions continued to appear in various parts of the city, and several helicopters circled over the city. Emergency notices were issued in the news, and various terrifying posts appeared on the Internet.
Many people said that this was a divine punishment, the end of the world...
At noon, the Radek family of four still did not dare to open the curtains. The blood on the street had not been washed away. They hid in the house, ate something casually, and continued to wait in front of the TV for a long time, waiting for this disaster to pass.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the store downstairs from their house. The man took something and knocked on the iron gate, making a clanging sound.
But fortunately, the other party only knocked twice and then stopped. A moment later, two more knocks...
Radek looked down from the window and saw a man in a white jumpsuit and a mask standing outside his store. As he looked down, he also looked back at him and then continued to swing something in his hand and knock on the iron door.
Radek was afraid that the movement would attract those monsters, so he hurried downstairs to persuade the other party to leave.
However, just as he walked to the iron gate, he saw a small piece of gold flakes being pushed in from the gap under the gate. At the same time, a young girl's voice came, speaking fluent Diguo: "I am a tourist, I want to buy a raincoat, buy a large amount at a high price, I will give you ten times the gold just now. Please open the door, or I will continue to knock like this."
Radek did not answer, and the other party started knocking on the door again, this time the sound was louder and more frequent, even the family members upstairs were alarmed, they stood at the stairs and looked at him with panic.
He gritted his teeth, turned around and went to the warehouse nearby, took out an old hunting rifle, loaded it, and carefully opened the small door on the iron gate.
The other party raised her hands to show that she was harmless, walked slowly into the store, and kept a certain distance from him. She was holding a rectangular piece of gold between her fingers.
But Radek still regretted it, because after she walked into the store, more than ten foreign young people wearing masks and gloves came out from the hidden place next to him. They carefully avoided the blood on the ground and quickly entered his store.
The last person who came in even closed the small door and looked up to say hello to him.
The store, which was not big to begin with, was immediately packed.
