Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Heavy Fog
This scene shocked everyone.
What kind of monster is that?
A golden eagle, or an eagle, it can actually pick up an adult and fly high and far!
Even if it was a thin adult, the weight would be estimated to be around 50kg, a full 100 jins, and it was taken away so easily?
Everyone's heart was beating like drums, the adrenaline in their bodies was surging, but their feet felt like rooted tree stumps and they couldn't move their legs.
He Junxia was speechless.
He shouted to the stunned crowd, "What are you standing there for? Run!" There were several giant birds in the sky ready to hunt.
The crowd woke up as if from a dream.
In an instant, exclamations and screams rang out one after another.
The child who had luckily escaped the disaster was quickly carried away by his tearful mother, and a large number of people suddenly appeared in the fog-proof passages leading to the entrances of various buildings.
He Junxia had already returned home with the two children. Without having time to explain to Zong Kangping who had not yet figured out the situation, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Zhang Shuhui.
The phone was quickly connected after two beeps.
"Hey, Dad, what's wrong?"
"There's a man-eating bird in the sky. Find a closed shopping mall or supermarket and hide there!"
Zhang Shuhui was shocked.
She was leaving the supermarket on the basement floor with the food she had paid for, and was standing in the elevator going up.
As the elevator slowly moved, the outside environment gradually came into view. A group of giant birds with amazing wingspans were flying and circling in the air.
The huge black wings blocked out the tiny spots of light projected from the gaps between the scaly clouds, and even the sky darkened by several degrees.
Most people who realized that something was wrong left, and those who followed the crowd followed closely behind, creating a chaotic scene.
There were also some fearless people who took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos, and enthusiastically discussed the species of the giant bird.
"Tsk, what a bunch of cowards."
On the platform at the top of the elevator, two young men and women in tight jeans took pictures and jeered at the fleeing people.
Zhang Shuhui heard this: ...
Although she felt a little speechless, seeing that the two people looked very young, perhaps still students, Zhang Shuhui couldn't help but say something more.
"Stop filming! It's dangerous! These birds can literally snatch up an adult."
"What do you care?"
The dull-haired boy among the two turned around and replied impatiently, while the girl crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
Zhang Shuhui: …
Well, you asked for trouble.
Since the two were stubborn and refused to listen, she didn't bother to talk any more. She quickly left the elevator and ran back to the supermarket downstairs.
Several unsuspecting customers were preparing to take the elevator to leave near the supermarket's checkout counter. Zhang Shuhui, panting, quickly advised them, "Don't go up. There are huge birds out there that eat people. If you don't believe me, just check the news on your phone."
The customers took out their phones doubtfully, but before they could unlock the screen, a large number of news push notifications suddenly popped up on the lock screen.
Surprise! Giant birds suddenly appear in many places and injure people
《Emergency Notice! Residents who are still outdoors please take note and immediately go to the nearest enclosed place for shelter.》
Giant birds eat people, monsters from another world attack again, how should we deal with it?!
Now people have to believe it even if they don’t want to.
For a moment, the crowd was talking a lot, and the supermarket exit seemed like a vegetable market with hundreds of ducks, making people feel upset and confused.
Zhang Shuhui was also anxious.
It's not only the worry about when I can go home, but also the confusion and tension about the uncertainty of the future.
They thought they could live a peaceful life after the white fog disappeared and the mushrooms were eradicated, but now a giant man-eating bird suddenly appears.
Is this broken world going to allow people to survive?
Zhang Shuhui leaned against the wall dejectedly, with countless pessimistic guesses and endless helplessness in her heart.
Is it true that the only way to stay safe is to stay at home? But which of the following things does not require hygiene, including eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, for both adults and children?
In other words, they did not take out a loan when they bought the house, but paid in full for a second-hand house. Otherwise, they would have to worry about the monthly mortgage like her colleagues.
Moreover, even if there were no worries about the mortgage, the small company where I work has been slow to start work and I am on unpaid leave.
Although my husband is a school teacher, his salary is rarely paid on time. It is common for him to be delayed for one or two months or even half a year.
Now their family relies entirely on savings to make ends meet. If they continue to live like this, they will run out of savings. Zhang Shuhui really doesn’t know how to survive.
So annoying!
Let the whole world be destroyed together.
Of course, the whole world will not be destroyed together. Zhang Shuhui was just thinking about it in her mind to vent her depressed and anxious emotions.
At this moment, a collective roar filled with a murderous aura suddenly interrupted the chattering of people.
"ah--"
"The bird is coming in, run!"
The people crowded at the supermarket exit turned around and ran back immediately after hearing the sound. Some people were squeezed and staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a loud thud.
"Go away, go away."
“Help!”
A girl in lead-gray skinny jeans tumbled into the supermarket, her face pale, her eyes terrified, and a splattered red bloodstain in the center of her white coat.
The girl panicked and said, "My boyfriend was caught by a bird outside. Please save him."
No one spoke.
They can't even guarantee their own safety, let alone rush out to save a stranger.
Zhang Shuhui recognized the girl at a glance. She was the girl from the young couple.
The girl obviously recognized her, and their eyes met in the air. The girl begged: "Auntie, please save my boyfriend. I have money, I will give you money."
Zhang Shuhui cruelly looked away.
If it was just a matter of lending a hand, she wouldn't mind, but risking her life to save someone who had brought this upon himself wasn't something she was tired of living.
The girl looked at Zhang Shuhui in disbelief, then at the large crowd in the supermarket, and angrily demanded, "How could you stand by and watch someone die? You'll suffer the consequences!"
Everyone: ...
Everyone was immediately unhappy.
"If you want to save yourself, go ahead. No one is stopping you. Why are you yelling?"
"You don't save your boyfriend yourself, but let others do it. What kind of person is that?"
"It's not us who caused your boyfriend to be taken away by a bird. It's your fault for standing at the door and taking pictures. You deserve it, right? It's ridiculous."
…
The girl blushed at what everyone said.
She sniffed, her eyes caught sight of the mop used for cleaning in the corner, and she rushed forward, picked up the mop and ran up the stairs.
The people in the supermarket were stunned. They didn't expect her to rush out suddenly. The love between the two young people was not just a superficial one.
But before everyone could finish their sighs, the girl came running back. The mop in her hand was gone, her face was even paler, and her whole body was shaking.
What's happening outside?
Everyone was extremely curious but no one dared to go out to check what was going on. A few kind-hearted people took the girl who was slumped on the ground back to the safer inside of the supermarket.
"Little sister, what did you see?"
"Have the police arrived?"
A group of people rushed forward to ask questions, but the girl remained silent, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Don't push her. Make way for her. Wait for her to relax. There's no air circulation."
Zhang Shuhui peeled away the crowd like peeling an onion, finally making the air around the girl feel a little fresher.
She squatted down and gently patted the girl's back, again and again, patiently like a mother coaxing a baby to sleep.
"Okay, okay, it's okay."
It seemed as if the warm embrace from her mother finally freed the girl from the horrible scene. She grabbed Zhang Shuhui's clothes and burst into tears.
"He's dead."
"Woo, yes, there are a lot of birds, woo woo woo, eating his body, and, and taking his..."
The girl burst into tears, and the people in the supermarket were terrified. The mere description of the incident made them feel uneasy.
One person suggested: "The birds are right at the stairs. Let's close the supermarket door, otherwise we will all die when the birds fly down!"
Everyone agreed.
Now the bird is guarding the stairs and it is impossible for it to rush down to take refuge. Closing the supermarket's rolling door is the best way of defense.
Several supermarket employees ran out and directed everyone to pull down the rolling door above. With a bang, the door closed completely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Shuhui once again reported to her family that she was safe and also told them about her current situation and circumstances.
Zong Kangping breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows his heart almost jumped out when he heard that there was a giant bird guarding outside the supermarket where his wife was.
He Junxia also breathed a sigh of relief.
The supermarket was full of food, so being trapped for three days and three nights wouldn't be a problem. The shelves even sold kitchen utensils like knives that could be used as weapons. Even if a giant bird broke in, it wouldn't necessarily be a match for humans after losing its high-altitude advantage.
After all, no matter how high your Kung Fu skills are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. As long as you're a mortal, being harmed by physical attacks isn't too much of a problem.
Haven’t humans killed enough ferocious beasts through concerted efforts?
At worst, when the special police, armed police and firefighters arrive, how many bullets can the so-called giant bird withstand?
He Junxia guessed correctly.
After the authorities arrived with firearms, the situation was quickly brought under control and the people hiding in the supermarket were finally able to leave.
Zhang Shuhui hurried back home, and was greeted by the excited embraces of her two children and the relieved expression of her lover.
Zong Kangping: "You are finally back."
Zhang Shuhui sighed and felt relieved: "Luckily, my dad called me in time. I hadn't left the supermarket yet. Otherwise, I would have had nowhere to hide."
"There was a brave young couple who insisted on standing at the stairs to take photos and videos. As a result, the boy…"
Zhang Shuhui didn't want to recall the bloody scene she saw as she left the supermarket. She vomited several times on the way there.
"Don't think about it, come and have dinner."
Zong Kangping interrupted Zhang Shuhui's recollection. He was afraid that if she continued talking, she would not be able to eat dinner.
Zhang Shuhui waved her hands repeatedly: "You guys eat, I have no appetite, I'll go sit on the sofa for a while. Oh, remember to put the vegetables in the bag in the refrigerator."
Zhang Shuhui sat on the sofa with her eyes closed, but her slightly trembling eyelashes revealed her inner unrest.
Have you ever seen a person being disemboweled?
Just like livestock, their bellies were ripped open by sharp claws and bird beaks, and their internal organs, intestines and blood flowed all over the ground, emitting a disgusting stench.
