Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Heavy Fog
Because this incident has had a very bad social impact, the authorities have treated it as a typical example and dealt with it severely and strictly.
With irrefutable evidence, the court's verdict came out in less than a day, sentencing Zhu Chuncao to twelve years in prison for robbery.
The news caused an uproar
Although they despised Zhu Chuncao's behavior of snatching children's things, the punishment was too severe.
After all, it was just a few mushrooms.
In response to everyone's doubts, the court gave a very legal and compliant explanation.
First of all, robbery is a serious crime, even if you only steal fifty cents.
Secondly, the fact that the camera captured Zhu Chuncao snatching mushrooms picked by different children five times by threatening violence constitutes multiple robberies and meets the criteria for severe punishment.
Last but not least, the shelter is determined to set an example, deterring those with criminal thoughts and demonstrating the government's zero-tolerance attitude towards crime.
No matter how much the mother and son quarreled and refused to give in, it was impossible to change the court's final decision.
At the same time, Zhu Chuncao's son was also expelled from the mushroom factory for causing major social impact.
However, in the eyes of most people, he was just an unlucky man implicated by his mother. Not only did the factory not deduct his salary, it also gave him three months' extra wages.
When everything was settled, those who had evil intentions in the shelter began to hide their evil intentions.
They don't want to become the second chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys. Isn't that seeking death?
The atmosphere in the shelter suddenly cleared up, new topics quickly replaced old ones, and everyone's life gradually returned to normal.
However, in this fragmented world, peace is something that is bound to be broken.
Just another ordinary day
Dark grey clouds covered the sky, not a single ray of bright light could penetrate, and then heavy rain poured down.
The rain came violently and suddenly, with bean-sized raindrops hitting the ground densely, catching everyone off guard.
The underground shelter was built on the basis of an underground air-raid shelter and has a complete set of drainage facilities. After the shelter was expanded several times, the drainage facilities have also been strengthened several times.
At first no one took the rain seriously.
As the rain got heavier and heavier, water accumulated in many places inside the shelter. The deepest part of the water was already above an adult's knees, and it was still rising.
Nature bares her bloody fangs against her subjects.
In an instant, the shelter was in chaos, and people were eager to leave this underground fortress that was once considered an absolute safe zone.
Death is approaching
Before the drainage facilities completely collapsed, the shelter's senior leaders acted decisively and opened all exits leading to the ground.
The passages inside the shelter are very narrow, most of them only wide enough for four people to walk side by side, and the roads are crowded with people.
Everyone, everyone, everyone...
What you see is a crowd of people, and their bodies are forced forward by forces from all directions, unable to even put their feet on the ground.
He Junxia hugged his two children tightly. As soon as he and Zong Kangping and his wife left the dormitory, they were separated by the crowded crowd and gradually fell behind by a long distance.
【Let’s leave the shelter first.】
A familiar voice rang in their ears, and the young couple who had suddenly lost track of their child breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked for the figure of the father/father-in-law.
Of course it was not found.
Tall, short, fat, thin, big, small, old, young...
There are people everywhere.
It is so difficult to find someone you know.
Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui were dazzled by the sight but still found nothing, so they had no choice but to give up - if they didn't know that their father/father-in-law had some supernatural powers, they would really think that they were hallucinating.
Zong Kangping held his wife's hand tightly, and their fingers were interlocked. "Listen to Dad, let's go out first."
Otherwise it would be a waste of effort if you find it.
Fortunately, their dormitory was not far from the ground and their reaction speed was not slow. After crawling for more than 20 minutes, they finally reached the ground.
"Huh, finally out."
The cold, pouring rain instantly drenched the people who had left the shelter with great difficulty into a miserable state.
Everyone was very glad to be freed.
God knows a group of people were crowded in the underground passage, and the oxygen was almost sucked out, as if they would suffocate to death in the next second.
What underground shelter?
The ground is where humans should live!
"Mom," "Sister," "Husband," "Second Uncle," "Tian Xieyin," "Zhang Shanshi"...
A series of shouts almost drowned out the fierce rain. Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui were also shouting their father/father-in-law's name loudly in the crowd.
[Walk to the left, a few more steps, and there's a girl in red next to me.]
When the familiar voice sounded in their ears again, their faces lit up with joy and they hurried to the left.
"Hey, wife, is that our dad?"
Zong Kangping wiped the rain off his face, blinked his eyes, and vaguely saw a vaguely familiar figure.
Zhang Shuhui looked in the direction of his finger and gradually narrowed her eyes. "It seems so, but why don't I see Pengpeng and Jiajia?"
The two of them walked quickly around the crowd with anxiety and doubt in their hearts, and two short figures gradually came into view.
Thankfully, the family is safe.
Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui rushed down to meet their family. The wet cement ground mixed with the newly green weeds beneath their feet made a cheerful "crunching" sound.
"Dad, Mom, we are here."
The two children waved excitedly when they saw their parents.
They still couldn't quite comprehend the current situation, and with their parents around, they were filled with the joy of playing in the rain and water.
The heavy rain blurred her vision. Zhang Shuhui squatted down and hugged the children, only to find that her father-in-law had already put on raincoats for them.
He Junxia looked at the two people who were soaked to the skin and said, "Let's go. This rain won't stop anytime soon. Let's find a place to hide first to avoid catching a cold."
Zhang Shuhui hesitated.
She looked worried, her eyes searching back and forth in the dense crowd, obviously looking for someone.
“Boom!”
A terrifying thunder suddenly sounded, as if a giant in the sky was holding a sky hammer and hitting the clouds hard.
Not only children, but adults were also frightened.
The next second, several lightning bolts streaked across the dark sky like sharp blades, bringing a brief burst of light before returning to silence.
But things are far from over.
The strong wind brought a smell of burning, and the crowd in the distance was in a commotion, and shouts of violent collapse were heard.
Someone's dead?!
The news spread quickly, and before long, everyone knew what was happening in the distance—someone was standing under a tree and was struck to death by lightning.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
He Juanxia frowned: "Shuhui, I can't find your mother and your nephew. Let's go over there to hide from the rain and change into dry clothes. I'll come back to look for them later. It's not safe here."
Zhang Shuhui was also frightened.
Feeling the violent storm, lightning and thunder between heaven and earth, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
This is all we can do for now.
He Junxia brought them to a hotel family suite on the eighth floor. The room was relatively clean and showed no signs of damage.
The three of them each changed into dry clothes and changed the wet shoes and socks for the two children.
Zong Kangping dusted off the sofa in the living room and sat down, thankfully saying, "Luckily we were prepared, otherwise it would have been too late to pack up at the last minute."
He looked at He Junxia and said, "Old ginger is still spicy, Dad, thank goodness you are here."
He Junxia smiled but said nothing.
As someone who has experienced several disasters, he is used to preparing several escape bags where he lives.
The bag contains clothes, food, drinking water, fire-making tools, etc., so you can pick up the bag and escape immediately at a critical moment.
Look, it came in handy today.
After putting on his raincoat and rain boots, He Junxia said, "You guys stay in the room. Don't open the door to anyone except me. I'll go check out the situation outside and see if I can find my mother-in-law."
Zhang Shuhui stepped forward and said, "Dad, let me go with you." It was raining so heavily outside, how could she let her father-in-law go out alone.
He Junxia shook his head: "I can go alone, you know my ability."
Thinking of the voice that suddenly rang in her ears earlier, Zhang Shuhui thought for a moment and stopped talking.
My father-in-law is just a little older. In terms of physical fitness and personal ability, it can be said that most young people cannot compare with him.
Before leaving, He Juanxia reminded him again: "Remember, don't open the door to anyone except me."
Zong Kangping smiled: "I know, Dad, we are not children, you can go ahead without worry."
He Junxia went downstairs along the emergency passage. He could hear noisy conversations and the "bang bang" sounds of axes and other hard objects hitting each other, which even made the building seem to be shaking.
He frowned slightly and quickly released his mental power.
This building, which is more than ten stories high, belongs to a large hotel chain with many rooms, and many people come here to take shelter from the rain.
However, the electronic anti-theft lock had long been ineffective, and most people did not know how to open the mechanical lock, so they had to resort to the most difficult method to pry the door open.
He Junxia left the hotel against the flow of people, her movements standing out as a stark contrast to the others. However, since everyone was busy trying to avoid the rain, no one paid much attention.
