Chapter 781 Mental breakdown

Due to the uncertainty of the future, both of them will keep the ready-made meals in the space to eat when they go out or when it is inconvenient to cook.

Therefore, meals are basically freshly cooked every day.

When Secretary Wu came over, Gu Zhiyu happened to be cooking, so he did not go with him.

The two guessed that he was probably here for Yao Qianqian's matter, and since there was no danger, only An Nan showed up.

Suddenly hearing Annan talking about the riots, Gu Zhiyu immediately put down what he was holding and looked at her with a worried look on his face:

"What happened at the base? Are you okay?"

Annan shook his head. "It's okay. Just as we expected, the Lu family has been taken away. But Secretary Wu reminded us again before he left, asking us to be careful."

The weight of Secretary Wu's words is different from that of Professor Zheng.

What comes out of his mouth is not called gossip, but current affairs.

Gu Zhiyu also took it seriously: "Let's not go into the space for the next few days, or our house might be destroyed without us even noticing."

Annan nodded: "Okay."

In the next few days, the two did not enter the space. Every day, after Zhao Ping'an got off work, they would take him to the reinforcement mechanism outside the villa area wall.

Of course, I also did not forget to remind Long Cong'an and Sister Peipei to be careful when going to and from work.

But life remained peaceful and quiet. Almost a month had passed, and there had not been any large-scale riots in the villa area.

Annan and Gu Zhiyu went out for a walk fully armed, wanting to know themselves and the enemy and understand the current situation in the base.

The street lights were dim, so Annan turned on the headlights of the armored vehicle before he dared to drive.

There were almost no pedestrians on the street, only occasional crying and shouting coming from the residential buildings on both sides of the street.

The extreme cold has passed, the temperature is comfortable, but there are fewer pedestrians than when it was freezing cold.

After walking around for a long time, I found that the main entrance of the base was the busiest.

There were actually several fighter planes and tanks parked inside the gate, ready to go at any time, and the number of soldiers guarding the gate outside was more than doubled than before.

An Nan was about to go forward to inquire about the situation when he saw someone pulling the sleeve of the gatekeeper and yelling:

"Why don't you let me in? Why don't you let me in? You look down on me! Do you look down on me?"

"I don't have money, so you won't let me in? Why? Why? Huh?"

The staff was patient: "Free beds are limited. If not for the recent deaths of many people, there would be no vacancies. There is a certain threshold to join the base."

"A new natural disaster has struck, and the policy has become much more favorable. Before, you needed five kilograms of grain to enter, but now it has been reduced to one kilogram..."

Before I could finish my words, the other party interrupted me: "What you said is nonsense! If you are really so kind, why don't you just let me in for free?!"

The staff sighed and said, "Everything in the base needs supplies and points to be purchased. If you can't even afford the ticket to join the base, how are you going to live once you're inside?"

The other soldier on the side was not very patient:

"Don't waste your words on him. If a man like this comes in, he can only make a living by robbing people."

"You! Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, I will kill you immediately!"

The other party was still very emotional, with the gun pointed at his head and he kept cursing at me.

He left reluctantly until the soldier was about to pull the trigger, with red eyes and anger written all over his face like an enraged beast.

An Nan sighed, did not move forward, and drove away with Gu Zhiyu.

There were few people on the street, so the two of them went shopping in the supermarket.

The number of customers in the supermarket has obviously decreased a lot, and the atmosphere is also very depressing.

The soldiers were patrolling with their guns in hand as usual, but they seemed less dignified than before. The two had only been strolling for a short while when they encountered two robberies.

One was about a man who tried to buy something for free in a supermarket and was shot dead by a soldier after being warned three times with a gun.

One was at the cashier, where someone simply snatched the items that other people had paid for and ran out.

The soldier guarding the gate stopped the man, but the man was not afraid. He waved his sword and fought the soldier head-on, looking like an honest man who was forced into a corner.

Annan watched from the side and couldn't help but smack his lips.

People are so angry nowadays that even big guns can't scare them.

However, it seemed that only Annan and the other two were surprised. The other customers looked as if they were used to it, with numbness written all over their faces.

Some people even want to take advantage of the chaos to steal things and run away.

Coming out of the supermarket, Annan couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at this situation, it's really going to be chaos sooner or later."

The spirits of these survivors are clearly on the verge of collapse.

Come to think of it, having experienced so many natural disasters before, the survivors who have survived to this day will more or less have some psychological trauma.

Now, with the blessing of 24-hour non-stop darkness, various psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, panic, and mania are difficult to adjust.

Humans need sunlight.

Not only physically and mentally, but also spiritually.

Under the eternal night, everyone's mental state was not normal, even the soldiers' eyes were filled with fatigue.

The current situation is that people are terrified and feel insecure despite the abundant supplies.

Those who are short of supplies are on the brink of collapse and may turn into violent terrorists at any time.

All that's missing now is a leader - if someone can stand up and unite them, the riot will happen.

At any time and anywhere, perhaps at this moment, perhaps in the next second, social order will suddenly collapse.

Annan and Gu Zhiyu were also quite depressed by this atmosphere. They returned to the armored vehicle in silence and drove home.

On the way, we also encountered someone jumping off a building to commit suicide.

Two people were hugging each other, a man and a child. When they fell to the ground, they fell terribly.

The body fell just in front of the armored vehicle. If Annan had not braked in time, it would have been run over.

The two of them took a look through the windshield and saw that the dead adults were as thin as skeletons covered with human skin, while the children had become as thin as big-headed boys.

The head-to-body ratio of children is different from that of adults. When they become skinny and bony, they look like stick figures with big heads from a distance.

A big one and a small one fell in a pool of blood. Although their bodies were twisted, their expressions were relieved, which made people feel even more depressed.

Annan and his friend quickly returned to the villa. They didn't even feel like eating. They turned on all the lights in the audio-visual room and watched three consecutive comedy variety shows. Only then did their depressed mood improve a little.

In the following days, the two of them did not leave the villa area again, and stayed at home waiting for the opportunity.

Another half month passed.

An Nan and Gu Zhiyu, who were sleeping soundly, were suddenly awakened by the barking of dogs.

After I stood up and listened carefully, I heard many people screaming.
