Chapter 27: We were surrounded!
Lin Bo drove in front to lead the way, and He Chuan followed closely behind.
The closer we got to the city center, the more Lin Bo found that there were more and more people on the streets.
Too many things happened this week. Someone told everyone not to panic, but the successive outages of the Internet, power, and water made everyone panic.
Some people had no extra food at home, and some people were afraid that they would be infected and wanted to go out to buy medicine. Various factors came together, resulting in a flood of people on the streets.
And the result is predictable.
The more people there are outside, the greater the chance of being infected by the zombie virus, and the situation will be more uncontrollable.
The sidewalks on both sides were already crowded with people. Many people began to rush onto the road without caring about the danger. Lin Bo was forced to stop twice and decided to take a detour through the outer circle of City B. There
was inevitably a commotion. I don't know who was the first to start blocking the vehicles. As the alarms of the vehicles sounded, the cars parked on the roadside were surrounded by people.
The supermarkets and pharmacies were empty, so they started to attack the unmanned vehicles parked on the roadside.
Chen Qingqing saw someone upstairs shouting, asking the group of people to stay away from their cars.
The people who could take action were in groups. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. Although they did not know that the end of the world had come quietly, this collective action greatly released the malice and dark side in their hearts.
The people upstairs could only watch them use stones, hammers, and bricks to ruthlessly smash the car windows and loot the car. Some people even cheered wildly.
"They are all crazy..." Zhou Weiyue, who was in the car behind, looked at the crowd around him in amazement.
Chen Qingqing watched all this coldly.
This is just the beginning.
Since the water and electricity have been cut off, it will only take a few days for the people hiding upstairs to rush to their location and rob the house as long as they dare to stick their heads out.
This situation is too common.
From stealing, to robbery, to murder and arson.
As long as the number of criminals changes from one to a group, they will be more decisive when they strike.
The car in front was blocked, and Lin Bo could only move forward slowly. He took the time to look back at his son: "Xiao Huan, don't be afraid."
Xiao Huan pursed his lips quietly, blinking his big black and white eyes and looking out the window.
So this is the danger that mom and dad talked about.
Lin Bo couldn't help but worry: "In this case, will there still be a shelter?"
Chen Qingqing was silent.
"Maybe there will be. It shouldn't be too difficult for a superpower like Zhang Mingqi to build a shelter."
In her previous life, Chen Qingqing had only vaguely heard of the appearance of people with special abilities, but she had never seen a superpower.
It's not necessarily that there were fewer people with special abilities in the previous life. Chen Qingqing thinks it's more likely because she had been working at the bottom of the society in her previous life.
She was worried about the simplest problem of food and clothing every day,
so she had no time and energy to explore whether people with special abilities really existed. This time, Chen Qingqing had collected supplies early in the morning, and the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation were no longer a problem, so she was able to see a wider world.
Although many things have changed in this life, Chen Qingqing thought that as long as there are people with special abilities like Zhang Mingqi, there will always be some shelters rising from the ground.
People with heart and action will gather these people with special abilities and build shelters that can protect ordinary people.
Chen Qingqing believes that not all people with special abilities will fail to become big names like Zhang Mingqi.
There will be people like herself who want to protect their loved ones.
There are also people who have great love, a kind and benevolent heart, and try to shoulder the responsibility of saving all mankind.
Suddenly, a dark shadow interrupted Chen Qingqing's thoughts and suddenly pulled her back to reality.
The man opened his arms and blocked Lin Bo's car.
Then a group of people swarmed up and surrounded Lin Bo's car.
The fire in the hearts of the people who looted several cars on the roadside seemed to be ignited. Their expressions were twisted and crazy, blocking the car in all directions. Some people put their faces on the car windows and made ferocious expressions. Some people smashed the car windows hard.
"Wow--"
Huo Huo, who was sleeping in the back seat, was awakened by the noisy sound. During
this period of time, Huo Huo had become accustomed to certain noises at a distance, but anyone who heard this kind of movement would be scared.
Xiao Huan, who pretended to be calm, also began to tremble slightly, but he still used his trembling arms to pick up Huo Huo in the cradle and patted him to comfort him.
Chen Qingqing's mood seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the water at this moment, and her eyes were extremely cold.
She turned her head to look at the man who was knocking on her car window. The other party seemed to be shocked by her eyes and was stunned for a moment. Soon someone pushed the inaction man away and continued to knock on the glass.
It is conceivable what would happen if their family was unprepared - to put it mildly, all their supplies would be robbed. To put it seriously, many people might take the opportunity to attack and kill them.
But then again, if all the supplies were robbed, then death would not be far away.
This group of crazy people is scarier than zombies.
Chen Qingqing turned her head to look at the trembling Xiaohuan, who cried, "Mom, I can't seem to comfort my sister."
Chen Qingqing felt as if her heart was being grasped by a hand and she could hardly breathe. She reached out and touched Xiaohuan's face.
The warmth of her palm was transmitted to Xiaohuan, and Xiaohuan, who was cold due to nervousness, gradually calmed down under the gentle comfort of her mother.
"Don't be afraid, mom will chase them away now, okay?"
Xiaohuan blinked her wet eyes: "Mom, be careful."
Chen Qingqing looked at her husband, who nodded at her soothingly: "I'll take care of the children, don't worry."
Chen Qingqing pulled out a machete from her backpack and fixed the dagger on her waist.
The people outside the car were stunned when they saw that she had a weapon.
Chen Qingqing suddenly opened the door on her side, and someone immediately got in with a steel bar. Chen Qingqing grabbed the steel bar and pulled it into the car. The person on the other side was pulled and staggered and appeared in front of Chen Qingqing.
Before the other party could stand firm, Chen Qingqing raised her foot and kicked hard, and the other party flew into the crowd, knocking down a group of people.
Chen Qingqing took advantage of the fact that there was no one near the car door and immediately jumped out of the car and closed the door.
With a "click", the car was locked, and Chen Qingqing also entered the state.
No matter whether it is a person or a zombie, as long as it blocks the road... she will not be soft-hearted!
"Oh no! Sister Chen's car is surrounded!"
Qian Qian saw that the car in front was surrounded by a group of people and was very anxious.
Zhou Weiyue took a look and immediately said anxiously: "Let's go save them!"
"No." He Chuan said in a deep voice.
"We don't have weapons in our hands. Rushing over is to die."
Although the people surrounding them didn't have many sharp weapons in their hands, they still had fruit knives, stones, and sticks.
Even if there is really nothing, a pair of hands can peel off a layer of human skin.
"Then we can't just watch them being bullied!"
Shang Li gritted his teeth and took out a mirror fragment wrapped in a cloth strip from his trouser pocket: "Oh my god!"
Zhou Weiyue was stunned: "Where did you get this?"
Shang Li: "I was worried that I might be killed by Zhang Mingqi if I didn't say something right, so I made some preparations in advance, what do you think?"
The tip of the fragment was very sharp, and it should be no problem to stab into the flesh.
"No." He Chuan locked the car door.
"He Chuan!" Shang Li gritted his teeth, "You have no feelings for them, but I do!"
"I can't just stand by and watch!"
"Idiot."
He Chuan spat out two words.
"If we go out now, we will just cause trouble and give people around us an opportunity to attack."
Zhou Weiyue looked around immediately after hearing this, and then she found that many people were staring at them and the car behind them.
Once Chen Qingqing's car was successfully robbed, or someone got out of the car behind them, they would immediately follow the successful case and use the same means and methods to treat the car behind them.
"Then what do you say we should do!?"
He Chuan stared at the car buried by the crowd, and his hand holding the steering wheel became more and more forceful.
"Wait."
