Chapter 80 80B City Becomes an Isolated Island
"Ding Yibing and his mother are still inside. It seems that something happened to them." He Lian said.
Lan Shiruo frowned. "Let's wait. Everyone stay together and don't disperse. Shui Yao, have the vines keep an eye on everyone. Also, be careful of mutant creatures. They might be waiting for an opportunity to attack."
"clear."
After the crowd in the villa left, Ding Yibing came out with a pale face carrying his old mother on his back.
The old lady's face was covered with tears. She asked Ding Yibing to let her go and leave by herself.
Ding Yibing refused and moved forward with gritted teeth.
“Miaomiao.”
"I know, sister." Miaomiao hung the iron ball around her neck, went over to pick up the old lady and put it on her shoulder.
Ding Yibing was stunned for a long time, and Miaomiao glared at him, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave."
"Hey," Ding Yibing rubbed his eyes, ran two steps and turned back, "You guys go first, I have to go get my things."
The old lady had just shouted "Amitabha, God bless me", and then her son was about to go back to die. She couldn't even cry, "Son, no, come back soon, come back soon."
Ding Yibing walked into the villa without looking back.
The villa was already cracked and was about to sink. Lan Shiruo frowned, "Shui Yao, let the vines help him."
"good."
Ding Yibing rushed into the house, picked up a large bag, and stuffed it with food, clothes, and quilts. Bricks and rocks fell from above, but he didn't care. He only knew these were the things he needed to survive. He couldn't stay in City B anymore. If he wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to go anywhere without these things. Then he would be dead, just like now. Might as well fight now. At least there was some hope.
A concrete slab fell on his head, and all the thoughts in Ding Yibing's mind disappeared in an instant. He stared with horror in his eyes, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move at all. He thought he was dead.
At the critical moment of life and death, a shadow flashed before his eyes and the cement slab fell just outside his toes.
He stared at it, not coming back to his senses for a long time.
Even the vines couldn't stand watching this stupid human being with such a dull mind. He always failed at the critical moment. Was this the right time to be in a daze? Why not run for your life?
He immediately hit him with a stick, making Ding Yibing grimace in disbelief. He no longer dared to stand there in a daze, and quickly ran out with his bag.
When the old lady saw that her son was safe and sound, she began to worship various gods and Buddhas.
"Let's go." A group of people have fallen behind. The cliffs behind them have all collapsed, and the nearest crack is right at their heels. The small team wished they could grow a few more legs and struggled desperately.
When they ran to the avenue outside the villa area, nearly a hundred people had already died and there were many injured. Some of them fell, some were hit, and some were stepped on by their own kind. In short, there were few who were safe. Fortunately, there was no air conditioning and everyone wore thick clothes when sleeping. Otherwise, if they suddenly ran out, a lot of people would have been frozen to death.
The earthquake did not stop, the collapse continued, and everyone was still running wildly, heading towards the city center.
In the darkness, everyone was just trying to escape. Lan Shiruo followed closely behind her friends, not trying to squeeze into the crowd, and always keeping an eye on her surroundings.
After the initial panic, the general regained his mastiff nature and stood firm at his post. When a rotten corpse attacked him, he chopped off its head with one claw, and the head fell right at the feet of Ding Yibing, who was bent over and gasping for breath.
The corpse's rotting face, coupled with its empty white pupils, stared straight at him, frightening the young man so much that he almost peed himself, "Oh my god!"
"Hey, what's wrong, son?" The old lady knew that she was a burden and did not dare to cause trouble to the little girl. She did not say a word even though she was uncomfortable being carried all the way. She was frightened when she heard her son's scream.
The little friend covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Ding Yibing's face turned red with embarrassment. "No, it's okay."
Lan Shiruo collected her thoughts and said, "He Lian, pay attention to the surrounding movements. The collapse behind us has slowed down a lot. Our first priority is to pay attention to the attackers."
"clear."
The crowd in front was screaming. Except for a few who stepped into the cracks, most of them were attacked by various mutants.
Terror was spreading, and everyone felt that this was purgatory, an endless purgatory. When would God come to save them?
Yes, they can’t rely on humans anymore, they can only rely on the illusory God. If there is one, please come and save them.
At daybreak, the earthquake ended just as suddenly and without warning as it had begun.
Facing the morning glow that appeared for the first time in several months, everyone stood there, feeling the warmth of the moment.
The sun rose, illuminating the entire world. They saw the devastated City B, standing like an isolated island surrounded by the abyss. The cracks under their feet were bottomless, and all the houses had collapsed. Under the ruins, there were weak groans.
Yin, no one comes to rescue him, what's the point of rescuing him, it's still death, it's better to just die like this to avoid suffering again.
This isolated island is not big and it is crumbling in the abyss, as if it will collapse at any time.
When everyone came to their senses, they burst into tears and had no hope of survival at all.
If they had known earlier, they should have left even if it meant risking death on the road.
The small team was at the edge of the island, looking coldly at the suffering people in the world. What qualifications did they have to sympathize with others at this time?
The old lady sat on a stone nearby, leaning in her son's arms, quietly wiping away her tears. It was really not easy to live.
Lan Shiruo looked around, frowned slightly, and whispered, "It's best to keep your things safe and don't show them to anyone, otherwise you won't know how you died."
Ding Yibing struggled in the end times and understood the importance of food. In the current situation, everyone was fleeing for their lives, and no one brought much with them. What they had stored before was basically buried forever in the abyss. When these people were sad enough, they would start to find ways to survive, and those who had things would be their targets.
They will transform into ferocious beasts and gnaw you until not even a bone is left.
Ding Yibing suddenly felt a little regretful. What he brought out might not be something that could save his life, but might be a death warrant.
"I, I will."
The old lady didn't even bother to cry. She looked terrified and alert, holding the bag that her son had exchanged his life for tightly in her arms.
"ah"
There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, startling everyone.
The confused people scattered and many were injured in the pushing and shoving, revealing an open space in the middle where there were rotting corpses biting people.
There weren't many corpses, and so many people could easily kill them all, but no one moved. They all hid and watched from a distance. Those who didn't hide became food for the corpses.
The small team is not a saint, but they cannot just stand by and watch. After all, the living space is so small, and if they don’t clean up the corpses, they will also be affected.
But as soon as he made a move, he was chased away.
Lan Shiruo raised an eyebrow, "It's them."
"who?"
"Dragon Battle."
The friends walked through the crowd and saw a man exuding a gloomy aura behind the crowd. The man next to him should be Xu Qiang's brother Xu Hao, who was their mortal enemy.
"What do we do now?"
Lan Shiruo pursed her lips and looked at Ding Yibing and his mother. "No matter what happens next, don't stand with us. Try to keep us as strangers."
"Why?" The mother and son didn't understand.
Lan Shiruo didn't need them to understand. "Just do as you're told." Then she and her friends disappeared into the crowd, "wait and see what happens."
