Chapter 98 Riots and Earthquakes
430th day of doomsday.
It has been 7 days since Qiao Qiao evolved into an elf. During this period, only Xiao Wu had seen her current appearance. She did not hide it. After all, she would have to go out in the future and could not hide in the house all day.
The earthquakes were getting stronger and stronger, and we had to take shelter more and more often. Our original plan to reach the capital area in 20 days had failed.
In order to make up for the lost time and escape the volcanic eruption, the federal top brass discussed and decided that there would be no more long rest times. Every day, apart from avoiding earthquakes, they would be on the road, and everyone was miserable.
What's even more frightening is that people's dissatisfaction is becoming more and more serious. Even Jojo, who has never left the RV, can sense the subtle atmosphere among the crowd.
"The storm is coming."
Yueying was driving tirelessly, while Qiaoqiao sat on the sofa, looking at the night view outside the window. Away from the city and light pollution, she could see countless stars in the night sky every day.
The crowd moved forward in the darkness, everyone was exhausted, and just followed the person in front of them with their heads down like a flock of sheep.
"We will take action at 10 o'clock tomorrow night." Rob took advantage of the night and walked among the people to pass on the message.
"receive."
Some people were angry and eager to start a big fight right away; some looked solemn and doubted whether the action would succeed; some were worried and afraid that the war would affect them...
Everyone has their own ideas, but the federal top brass knows nothing about them.
The 431st day of the apocalypse, at 8:00 p.m.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Continuous explosions interrupted the team's march. The explosions did not occur in the civilian team, but were all detonated in the family team and the federal team. The incident happened suddenly and everyone was caught off guard.
"what happens?"
"Are the mutants coming?"
There was a lot of noise outside the window and the team was in chaos.
Xiao Wu knocked on the door of the RV: "Miss Qiao!"
Qiao Qiao opened the car door and saw the disheveled Xiao Wu standing at the door. His hair was messy, there were scratches on his face, and his clothes were covered in dust.
"Enemy attack?"
Xiao Wu breathed in a rough voice: "No, there was a riot. The people's team rushed over. The army has gone to suppress it, but there are too many of them. Some of them got bombs from somewhere and kept breaking through the defense line. Now they are almost here."
He looked at the flames around him, "Damn it, who put the bombs in the federal team and the family team? Ordinary people can't get here at all!" He was a little disappointed, "We paid such a high price to protect these people, and they actually..."
Qiao Qiao understood these people's actions to some extent: "You are too impatient."
"What?"
Qiao Qiao: "They have to endure the disturbance of earthquakes and keep traveling. It's okay in the short term, but they will definitely be dissatisfied after a long time. At that time, they will wonder why they have to move and why they might as well stay at home."
Xiao Wu subconsciously retorted: "But there will be a volcanic eruption in the northeast region, which will be even more dangerous."
Qiao Qiao sighed. As expected, the superiors could never understand the thoughts of ordinary people. "Have you made it public?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's confused face, she continued, "You are the only ones who know that the next round of natural disasters will be earthquakes and a series of disasters, but you want everyone to obey your decision unconditionally. Isn't that too much to ask?"
Xiao Wu lowered his head, "You are right, what should we do now?"
Qiao Qiao looked at him in confusion. "Why are you asking me? I'm not from your Federation. My job is to clean up mutant creatures. I won't get involved in fights between humans."
After saying that, Qiao Qiao returned to the RV and closed the door.
The team had stopped moving, and Yueying left the driver's seat and sat next to her. "You really don't care?"
"No." She looked at the man in front of her with a smile, "Why? Do I look like I like to meddle in other people's business?"
Yueying smiled and touched her head: "No, it's just that you are very kind."
Qiao Qiao lay flat on the sofa like a pancake: "Out of sight, out of mind. I won't get off the car until the matter is resolved."
"Okay." Yueying never objected to her decisions.
There was a standoff between two parties near the family team. One side was the federal government and the army, with serious expressions; the other side was civilians, and everyone was furious.
The federal representative stood up and said: "You can just tell me what your needs are. Why do you want to do this?"
Rob stood at the front fearlessly: "Earthquakes happen frequently, but you force us to leave our homes. What are you thinking?"
The federal representative frowned: "We said it at the beginning. We are going to the northwest area for refuge."
Rob sneered, "Nonsense, the Northeast is not in the earthquake zone, nor is it on the coast. Even if an earthquake occurs, the damage will be limited as long as we hide in open space. But you make us walk thousands of kilometers to someone else's doorstep to make a living."
The crowd responded.
"What are you up to?"
"That's right, what exactly is your conspiracy!"
“We want to go home!”
"Go home! Go home! Go home!"
The military representative explained: "That's because it is speculated that the volcano will erupt due to the earthquake, and the entire northeast region will no longer be suitable for human survival."
"Nonsense, our volcano hasn't erupted in nearly a thousand years."
"Of course migration doesn't matter to you, after all, each of you takes a car. But why should we have to travel thousands of kilometers? It's not fair!" Rob raised his arms and called out, attracting many responses.
"That's not fair! We have to take the bus too!"
"It's not fair! We want equal treatment!"
Faced with the relentless advance of hundreds of thousands of people, the federal government and the army continued to retreat.
"Back off! Back off! I'll shoot if you come any closer!"
No one paid attention to their warnings and continued to approach.
"Fire." Veins on the federal representative's forehead were exposed. A mere ordinary person actually dared to threaten him. If the military representative had not been here, he would have given the order to fire long ago.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Unexpectedly, people's actions not only did not stop because of the gunshots, but became even more crazy.
"Damn it! Why don't you shoot?" The federal representative cursed as he retreated under the protection of the army. He couldn't bear it anymore and finally yelled at the military representative.
"shot!"
The military representatives understood that behind them were the families of the staff members, and if they retreated further it would probably cause a greater disaster. Those who were indecisive would not survive the doomsday.
After receiving the order, the soldiers were no longer restrained.
Rob rushed to the front and used a blue R-level card. A blue barrier spread out from him and covered the crowd in the blink of an eye. Bullets hitting it only caused ripples.
[R-level card gun protection shield: can only resist ordinary gun ammunition, each use is limited to three hours, 10/10]
"Don't be afraid, we are ready. Let's fight for our rights!"
Seeing this, the people were not afraid, but became more excited. They followed him and rushed forward ignoring the attacks.
Some people accidentally fell to the ground, but were drowned in the crowd and never got up again; some people wrestled with the army and defeated them by relying on their numerical advantage; some people took advantage of the situation and rushed into the family quarters to steal vehicles and food...
The entire migration team was in chaos.
At first, the federation and the army had no power to fight back and were defeated under the impact of hundreds of thousands of people. But they had many cards in their hands after all. When someone discovered that Rob's barrier could only block guns and ammunition, the counterattack began.
The senior card drawers of the Federation and the army started a war with millions of ordinary people, and the battlefield was filled with the entire people's team, the family team, and the powerful team.
Qiao Qiao's RV was located between the escort team and the federal team, and had not yet been disturbed by the war. The occasional attacks were also dealt with by Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man.
The team had stopped moving long ago, so she could just lie down on the sofa and rest.
"Even if the team is moving forward, it is Yueying who is driving. Don't you rest every day?" Qiao Huizhou joked.
"No way. I have to take action when I encounter mutant creatures. I also drive occasionally." Qiao Qiao felt more and more guilty as she spoke, but fortunately her emotions could not be seen in her typing.
"Okay, okay, take care of yourself. If things get out of control, don't worry about anyone else and come to the Northwest District, okay? Mom and Dad can't wait to see you." Qiao Huizhou did not expose his daughter's little thoughts.
"I know what's going on."
Jojo switched to the national channel.
People from the Capital District arrived in the Northwest District a week ago. They kept complaining on the channel that the situation was not as safe as they had imagined.
The Northwest District has been transformed and is now divided into the inner city, midtown and outer city.
Only high-level card drawers and wealthy businessmen can live in the inner city area. It is said that there is electricity and water supply there 24 hours a day.
As long as you have contribution points, you can live in the central city area. Water and electricity are supplied from 6 to 8 am, 11 to 13 pm, and 18 to 20 pm every day.
Most people live here, and there are hospitals, supermarkets, mission halls, etc. People from the outer city can enter between 6 am and 8 pm, and must leave after the time, otherwise they will be blacklisted if caught.
Although the outer city area only requires very few contribution points, it is almost unprotected, and staying alive is their only goal.
The precious people in the Capital District cry and shout every day, saying that they have been cheated and should not have gone to the Northwest District, causing panic in the channel.
This may also be one of the reasons why riots broke out in the migration team. No one wants to be a servant in a new place.
She also got some new information from the chat.
Soon after the southwest district set out, it encountered mudslides and continuous aftershocks, resulting in countless casualties.
The migration strategy in the Southeast Region is different from that in other places. Each place organizes the migration on its own and carries out decentralized actions.
Doing this will make the process much faster, but it will also increase the dark side.
Exceeding federal forecasts for the southeast region, the tsunami arrived ahead of schedule after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
The sea water on the shore slowly receded, revealing a golden sand beach. A crab crawled out from the rock. Its pair of claws were larger than its body and exuded a chill. It was obviously a mutant creature.
The crab smelled the scent of humans and walked sideways into the city.
Suddenly, it realized something was wrong. Although I couldn't see its face clearly, I could clearly feel its shock.
Following the line of sight, accompanied by a huge roar, a water wall several tens of meters high was rushing towards us like a tidal wave. It seemed to be moving very slowly, but in fact it arrived in the blink of an eye.
The crab panicked, its arrogant steps became disordered, and its claws waved around, leaving behind shadows. It wanted to find a safe place to hide, but in the face of the horror of nature, its struggle seemed so insignificant.
"Help! Run!"
"Go to the mountain, don't worry about the others, run!"
"Mom, woo, mom, where are you?"
Most people who live by the sea have heard of tsunamis, even if they have not experienced them personally.
As early as when the tide receded, some people realized that something was wrong and rushed to higher places. However, the tsunami was too fast and more people disappeared in the water before they could react.
Almost at the same time, all coastal countries experienced tsunamis.
Following the anger of the land, the ocean also began to vent her anger.
The 433rd day of doomsday.
On this day, in addition to the magnitude 8.0 earthquake, the chaos that had accompanied the earthquake for three days finally ended because something even more terrible happened.
