Chapter 20 Zombies
When Mo Fei walked out of the supermarket entrance, he looked around and saw that there were almost hundreds of people still lingering outside.
After seeing the emergency power supply, they all wanted to go back to the mall to cool off. After all, the temperature outside was 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
But the emergency power supply will not be on for too long, and no matter how the staff persuaded them, many people still wanted to force their way back.
Someone like Mo Fei who was willing to come out was simply an outlier.
Mo Fei was unwilling to waste time with them. She squeezed through the crowded crowd, just wanting to find her family as soon as possible. But she looked around, and her ears suddenly moved. She keenly heard a low roar coming from the crowd.
This was not a sound that a normal person could make. It was more like the sound of a beast that was trapped in chaos and about to go crazy.
Unfortunately, she had recently read a description of this kind of person in the news.
They lose their consciousness, bite anyone they see, and grow sharp claws... The news calls these people pica patients. But netizens are speculating whether they are the legendary zombies.
According to the warnings that Mo Fei had heard, during the evolution of the natural disaster, some humans would be infected with various diseases and die, some would evolve new abilities to adapt to the environment, and some would be somewhere in between. They had already appeared in previous novels, movies and TV series, and were called zombies, lickers, infected people, and living dead people...
Following the roars, Mo Fei saw nothing.
There were too many people, and she couldn't tell the difference between normal people and lurking zombies.
Mo Fei decisively put on another layer of protective mask on top of the one she was already wearing, zipped up her sun protection jacket, and wrapped wrist guards and bandages around her hands and feet. Her outfit looked very strange in the hot weather.
Under the disgusted gazes of the others, Mo Fei shouted loudly: "Let's go! It's not safe here! Something will happen, go home quickly!"
I shouted it several times in a row and my voice was almost breaking.
It was too noisy and not many people could hear her words. Moreover, the staff in the shopping mall and supermarket had shouted these words countless times, but no one was willing to listen.
At this moment, these staff members want to stay home more than the residents. Even if there is a power outage at home, it would be nice to be able to spend time with their families.
But I still have to suffer here for a little bit of money.
Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Mo Fei didn't do anything extra and walked quickly out of the mall.
"Why don't we go too?" said a girl who looked to be in her early 20s.
They are students from the nearby Runan University. Now all primary and secondary schools across the country have temporarily suspended classes and switched to online classes.
The only thing is that their university hasn’t announced the holiday yet.
There are four people in their dormitory, and today they all agreed to come to this supermarket to buy things.
The four people were lucky. Each of them grabbed a box of instant noodles, as well as Lao Gan Ma and sparkling water.
Who knew there would be a power outage when we were about to check out?
Only the dormitory head Chi Hui, who was the first to pay the bill, was holding a few bottles of ice water and a bag of grapes that were almost shriveled like raisins in her arms.
As a result, the supermarket called and refused to let them in.
Looking around the entrance of the mall, it was full of people, each with a hundred curse words to utter, shoving and jostling, making people feel restless and irritable due to the heat. The little bit of cool air coming out from inside was almost non-existent.
Besides, the words that Mo Fei shouted just now made the dormitory head Chi Hui feel a little nervous.
She decided to take her roommates back to the dormitory and try her luck again after a few hours.
The dormitory has always been united. The other three girls nodded and walked with Chi Hui in the direction where Mo Fei had just gone.
The girls had just walked more than a hundred meters when they heard a panicked cry coming from where they had just stood.
"Why are you biting me?"
"Ah—blood is flowing! Murder is happening!"
"It's zombies! It's zombies! I've seen the movie! Run!"
"Don't step on my feet!!!"
The crowd, which was originally packed as tightly as a can of fish, suddenly exploded.
Everyone screamed, no longer caring about the heat or not, they just wanted to escape from there as quickly as possible.
In the crowd, several people with skin as white as the plaster walls stretched out their hands.
Their nails and teeth are as sharp as knives, and their movements are as agile as cheetahs, which is completely different from the slow and sluggish zombies in movies and TV shows.
They are the semi-successful and semi-failed products of human evolution, and their lethality is far greater than that of ordinary people who are still ignorant.
A one-sided massacre began.
Many people were not killed by zombies at all, but were trampled to death in the chaos.
Crying, shouting and screaming filled the sky, tears, blood and urine covered the ground. After natural disasters, there must be human disasters.
Chi Hui ran outside to the big tree with her roommates, and covered her heart, which was beating like a gong, with lingering fear.
She couldn't help but think of the strangely dressed woman.
If it weren't for the woman's reminder that made her panic, if she had run a few minutes later... they would have been the ones who died there!
Chi Hui subconsciously searched for Mo Fei in the nearby square.
A seven-seater car drove past Chi Hui, and the strange woman was sitting in the driver's seat.
As soon as Mo Fei left the mall, she had already called her parents and asked them to get in the car and wait for her.
The car was fully fueled, enough for her to travel several hundred kilometers.
"Put this ice pack on Jianian, and then you can eat some ice watermelon first."
Mo Fei handed the ice pack and ice watermelon to the back seat.
Song Yi hurriedly applied it to Jianian.
Mo Zhicheng was very confused: "I didn't see you buying watermelon when you first came here?"
"You remembered it wrong, Dad." Mo Fei smiled.
Mo Zhicheng touched the back of his head, but his eyes were attracted by the crowd rushing out not far away.
Countless people rushed out from the gate of Yuanda Shopping Mall. The police station’s car had already arrived. In the distance, the sounds of ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks seemed to be heard.
"What happened there?" Mo Zhicheng's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
He saw clearly that a man about 1.7 meters tall rushed out and pinched a woman's neck with one hand. Blood spurted out and splattered high.
"Ah——" Song Yi looked out the car window when she heard her husband's words, screamed and quickly covered Jiayue's eyes.
"Mom and Dad, hold them both tight and sit tight."
After Mo Fei finished speaking, she used all her superb driving skills at this moment and sped away from here.
God knows that although Mo Fei's hands were steady on the steering wheel, he was very nervous inside.
How to keep the car steady and not overturn or drift away at the fastest speed is really a technical job.
She was afraid that if she didn't leave here, her family would be unable to leave.
Chi Hui withdrew her gaze from Mo Fei. She looked at the many uniformed police officers surrounding the killing machines, and then looked at the bloodstains and filth on the ground that were glistening in the sunlight.
In addition to being a student, she is also a contracted author for a website. Recently, she has been looking for materials about the end of the world and natural disasters, and wants to write such a novel. So she knows very well what such a scene means.
Another roommate looked at the class chat and yelled, "Oh my god! Xia Mingming said that the stray dogs and cats in the school were fighting, and the security guard tried to stop them... but got eaten instead."
Xia Mingming is their class monitor. He is usually the most well-informed and 99% of the information he sends out is true.
However, this message was quickly withdrawn, and Xia Mingming only sent a few words: Students, please return to the dormitory quickly and do not stay outside.
His unclear words suddenly made the usually quiet class group lively.
College students have active minds, are full of energy, and are often at the forefront of the Internet.
Many people have already firmly believed in the statements about the end of the world.
Chi Hui trotted: "Hurry up!"
"Going back to the dormitory?" The three roommates ran behind him.
"What the hell are you going to say? Pack up your things and go home!"
"Isn't the school on holiday?"
Chi Hui didn't say anything else.
If the end of the world really comes, no matter what her roommates become, she will definitely go home to be with her parents.
At 7 o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still high in the sky.
Mo Fei parked the car in front of the villa almost exhausted.
She turned off the engine and got out of the car weakly. She first carried Jiayue out of the car and helped her stand steadily, and then held Jianian, who was still unconscious, in her arms.
A villa that is not much different from a bunker, which is not aesthetically pleasing but is really reliable, appeared in front of the family.
