Chapter 130 Panic spreads
Chen Ling was not surprised by Uncle Zhao's request.
When they were at the breakfast shop before, Uncle Zhao had hinted to Chen Ling, hoping that he could protect Zhao Yi a little out of childhood friendship... But this time Zhao Yi was injured, which really scared him.
This old man would rather put down his face and dignity, turn his hint into an explicit statement, and ask Chen Ling to protect Zhao Yi, which is reasonable.
Chen Ling agreed. For him now, it is not difficult to arrange a position for Zhao Yi in the law enforcer system. It is just a matter of words.
Hearing Chen Ling's consent, Uncle Zhao felt as if a burden of hundreds of kilograms had been lifted off his body, and he felt much more relaxed. He kept thanking Chen Ling and even wanted to give the entire breakfast shop to him, but Chen Ling refused. .
"It's just a little effort." Chen Ling waved her hand.
After Chen Ling finished speaking, she said goodbye to Uncle Zhao and walked straight to her home.
Behind the frosted door,
The light of the kerosene lamp swayed in the room. Zhao Yi, who was covered in bandages and leaning against the wall, had moist and red eyes.
…
On the dim street, a man dragging a rickshaw ran quickly towards the misty back hill.
"How long until we arrive?" On the rickshaw, a middle-aged woman in her thirties asked softly, holding an infant baby in her arms.
The man wiped the sweat with the towel on his neck, turned around and said:
"It's almost there, there's about an hour left..."
"……good."
"Sister, why are you going to District 2 in the middle of the night?"
"My child is sick... he must have been frightened by those monsters." The woman bitterly touched the hot head of the child in her arms, "The clinics in the three districts are all crowded, and the doctors don't even look at them, so..."
"So, you go across districts to see a doctor for your child?"
The man nodded, "Sit tight and I'll speed up a little bit. The child's health is important."
After saying that, the man gritted his teeth and speeded up again, sweat dripping from his body like raindrops, and quickly dragged the rickshaw towards the second district.
After galloping at full speed for dozens of minutes, the man's physical strength was gradually exhausted. He pulled the rickshaw on the deserted road, surrounded by thick fog, and everything in his field of vision was white.
"Master, are you sure we are going the right way?" the woman asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've walked this road hundreds of times, and you won't go wrong even if you close your eyes."
"But why is it so quiet here?"
"It's midnight, everyone is asleep, right?"
As the man was talking, he suddenly felt his feet slip and he stumbled to the ground. He couldn't help but let out an ouch.
"Are you OK?"
"It's okay... What is this thing on the ground? Why does it feel sticky?"
The man murmured and stood up with his hands on the ground. The kerosene lamp hanging on the rickshaw swayed slightly. He grabbed the handle of the rickshaw with both hands and was about to continue moving forward when he suddenly froze in place.
At some point, his hands were scarlet red.
"Blood?" The woman couldn't help but exclaimed, pointing to his body.
The man lowered his head and realized that the street beneath him had been soaked with blood at some point. He raised his head in surprise, picked up the kerosene lamp on the rickshaw and walked forward. The dim light of the kerosene lamp dispersed the darkness in the thick fog, and a body The outline of the hills gradually appeared before his eyes.
"This...this, this, this..."
The man's pupils involuntarily dilated. In the darkness, broken hands were scattered among the hills, like thorns. The broken heads were piled up together, like a mountain of human bodies connected by hair and internal organs. Qiu, an eyeball that had escaped from its socket was held in the palm of a severed hand, staring directly at the man...
At this moment, the man's heartbeat stopped. He opened his mouth wide and subconsciously fell to the ground. Then he got up with a cry of surprise.
At some point, the entire second area fell into darkness and deathly silence... Only a mountain of corpses hundreds of meters high stood in the sea of blood.
…
"What's that sound outside?"
Xi Renjie, who was sorting out the victims' information in the office, suddenly raised his head and looked out the window where there was a sudden commotion, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
"Sir, something happened!" A law enforcer hurriedly walked in from outside.
"A rickshaw driver took people to District 2 and found that everyone in the district had been slaughtered and piled into a mountain of corpses..."
"What?!"
Xi Renjie suddenly stood up from his seat, "The second district was completely wiped out?"
"Not only the second district, we also sent people to the fourth district, and there were basically no survivors..."
Xi Renjie's expression suddenly changed. He walked back and forth in the office, his heart sinking to the bottom... This time, the intersection of the gray world actually covered three major areas? No, these are only the ones that have been discovered. Several other regions further away may also have been affected.
If this is the case, then the scale of this disaster is far beyond imagination, and it is by no means as simple as a three-area disaster.
Suddenly, Xi Renjie remembered Chen Ling's inference today, and his face began to turn pale.
"How's it going with the people?"
"... Panic." The law enforcer swallowed, "This news spread too fast. Although most of them still don't believe it, many people have already spontaneously gone to the second and fourth districts to verify... It won't take long. will be fully confirmed.”
"Oops..." Xi Renjie knew very well that once the people knew the facts, they would inevitably fall into panic, and the order they had managed to maintain would completely collapse.
He put on his black trench coat and hurried outside.
As soon as I stepped out of the headquarters gate, I heard people running and shouting outside. The streets of District 3, which had already fallen asleep, were now lit up little by little... This neighborhood was gradually awakened by fear.
"Old Man Li? Is he probably dreaming?"
"That is, a whole area of people were killed and piled up into a mountain of corpses? Don't be too outrageous."
"It's true! My second uncle just ran over to take a look. He was almost scared to death. It is said that when he ran back, he heard the roar of a monster in the streets of the second district!"
"There seems to be no one in District Four? Is the scope of this disaster so large?"
"So, those monsters are still staying in the second and fourth areas, and they may rush to our third area at any time?"
"..."
More and more residents were awakened in the middle of the night. They had just struggled out of life and death, and when they heard the news, their faces suddenly turned pale. They gathered together and talked to each other, and unprecedented panic began. Spread rapidly.
"We can't go on like this." Xi Renjie's face was extremely solemn. "We must first appease the people... Gather as many people as possible, I will be responsible..."
Before Xi Renjie finished speaking, a law enforcer hurriedly ran from the headquarters.
"A text message came from Aurora City!"
"What?!" Xi Renjie's eyes lit up, "What did you say?"
"I don't know... only you have the permission to read that text message."
