Chapter 176: Half the City's Police Force Deployed to Maintain Order
Outside the station.
The Four Heavenly Kings reunited, but this time, all four brought their families with them.
"Hey guys, let's check into the hotel first, then go out for a nice meal, and then go to a concert tonight," Liu Wei suggested.
The other three did not object. As the group walked out of the station to hail a taxi, Jue Lun suddenly said, "I heard that the transportation system in Shandu is paralyzed. Why don't we take the subway instead?"
"Really?" Zhang San asked in astonishment.
"It's not only better to take the subway, but it's also faster," Manager Zhou agreed.
However, when the group arrived at the subway station and saw the crowded entrance, they were dumbfounded.
"We...we can't possibly squeeze in."
Without hesitation, the four decided to change their mode of transportation. They took out their phones and opened ride-hailing apps.
"My ride-hailing app told me that it was peak time for rides in the area and I couldn't get a ride."
After a while, Liu Wei said helplessly.
"Mine too," the three said helplessly, putting down their phones.
"So what do we do now?" Liu Wei asked.
No one answered. Everyone looked around and saw that all the shared bikes near the subway had been snatched up.
"Let's leave the station first, there are too many people here."
A moment later, Zhang San said something.
Left with no other choice, the group had to leave the station first.
The farther they walked and the longer they walked, the more astonished they became. As they looked around, the road seemed to stretch on forever, filled with cars.
Upon seeing this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief; this was just too crazy.
It wasn't until around two or three in the afternoon that everyone arrived at the hotel.
I had originally planned to go out for a nice meal after checking into the hotel, but looking at the time now, I'm afraid I won't have the time.
So everyone made do and ate at a large restaurant downstairs from the hotel. The food in Shandu was spicy, numbing, and fragrant, which suited everyone's taste.
After finishing their meal, Liu Wei and his group set off for Dream City, but this time, they couldn't hail a taxi no matter what they tried.
"Never mind, Dream City isn't far from here, why don't we walk there?"
Manager Zhou glanced at the map and made a suggestion.
"There's no other way," Jue Lun said.
And so, the group headed toward Dream City.
...
Zhi Rou was fully prepared, having brought all her equipment. When she arrived downstairs, instead of taking a taxi, she rode one of the few electric scooters available near the entrance and headed towards Dream City.
Along the way, Zhi Rou used a camera to film the surrounding road conditions, and the viewers in the live broadcast room burst into laughter when they saw it.
"It's completely blocked."
On the vast road, cars moved slowly and laboriously like caterpillars, stretching as far as the eye could see amidst the bustling traffic.
"It still means that Rou is well prepared, and the electric scooter is great."
Zhi Rou didn't read the comments in the live stream; she continued her commentary while cycling.
"Family members, I've been in Santo for so long and I've never encountered such a serious traffic jam. Luckily, I came here on an electric scooter."
Zhi Rou flicked her long hair, which was being blown by the wind, and smiled.
"Look, all the cars on this road are heading to Dream City. Some people couldn't wait and got out of their cars to walk over."
"It's not close to Dream City, it's about three or four kilometers away, but it's still early, they have plenty of time, so let's not wait for them."
As Zhi Rou spoke, she unconsciously quickened her pace.
Upon hearing Zhi Rou's words, the viewers in the live stream all laughed:
"I get the feeling that Zhi Rou is gloating."
"Little electric scooter: This is the highlight of my life. I've surpassed thousands of cars. Who dares to compare with me?"
"There are also many people riding electric scooters, and everyone's way of getting around is really bizarre."
After about half an hour, Zhi Rou finally arrived at the outskirts of Dream City and found a place to park.
Inside the parking lot, electric scooters were crammed together, almost leaving no room to park them. The sight of electric scooters everywhere excited the viewers in the live stream even more.
After leaving the parking lot, Zhi Rou said to everyone, "Family members, we've already visited the site last time, this time let's go inside and take a look."
Live broadcast room.
"Haha, Zhi Rou, you should go in first. I feel like there won't be any time left when it's your turn."
"My goodness, there are so many people! I'm getting trypophobia."
"It's only around five o'clock now, these people are here really early."
Zhi Rou noticed the screen displaying the comments, looked up, and froze in place.
In front of her stood countless people, their presence ruthlessly restricted to a distance of three meters.
You should know that she is not short at all, she is a full 1.73 meters tall.
"Family members, I think the most important thing right now is to get in line."
The stadium doors hadn't even opened yet, but the line stretched over a hundred meters long.
Zhi Rou gave a bitter smile, turned the camera around, and saw nothing but heads under it.
The stunning visuals caused the live stream's popularity to soar.
Waaaaah...
Just then, Zhi Rou heard a familiar voice coming from not far away, and everyone present was attracted and turned to look.
Not far away, a line of police cars drove up and stopped on the road near Dream City.
Before anyone knew what was happening, a group of police officers got out of their car. They were clearly taken aback by the large crowd in front of them.
Fortunately, they quickly realized what was happening and moved toward Dream City in an orderly manner.
"Seeing these people, I suddenly had a bad feeling."
"Isn't it normal for police officers to appear at Tianyi's concert? This means someone at the concert is going to go to jail."
"The person upstairs is right, but isn't it a shame that he got arrested before the concert even started?"
"Haha, judging by this situation, could there be a lot of wanted criminals?"
After seeing so many police officers, the viewers in the live stream flooded the chat with comments, sharing their guesses.
Seeing the comments in the live stream, Zhi Rou subconsciously moved away from the crowd. If they were really here to arrest a wanted criminal, she would have to run far away so she could take pictures.
However, to everyone's surprise, the police officers came to the perimeter of the crowd, and one officer raised a loudspeaker to tell everyone to line up properly and not stand in such a disorderly manner.
Upon seeing this, Zhi Rou suddenly realized that these people were not there to arrest criminals, but to maintain order.
But when Zhi Rou looked at the few dozen or so police officers, she was filled with doubt. Could such a small number of people really maintain order at the scene?
Before she could think about it, Zhi Rou saw more than a dozen large trucks suddenly appear in the distance. After the trucks stopped, hundreds of police officers jumped off the trucks.
In less than ten minutes, the area around the truck was filled with police officers. At a glance, there were at least a thousand of them, lined up in several rows, forming the most striking sight at that moment.
