Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 166: Chaos

Views:

Odick threw the grenade and fell into the dilemma of constantly sneezing. After that, he went into a coma. He didn't have any impression of the changes in South Street. He only had a vague sense of it. other news.

He shook his head and said:

"I ask now."

With that, he picked up the phone again and dialed another number.

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Baimian squatted down and groped for the body of the fake "priest" to see if he could find some useful clues.

Soon, she took out a note from the pocket of the fake "priest".

It is written in both the gray soil script and the Honghe language:

"This is a pass order specially approved by the city owner."

Apart from this passage, there is nothing on the paper, not to mention the seal, not even the signature.

"He took such a 'passing order' and easily entered North Street?" Jiang Baimian said with a smile.

"It can still be like this..." Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up, and he seemed a little ready to move.

Jiang Baimian noticed something, smiled and scolded:

"Don't try, you won't be 'hypnotized'."

Even if you want to try, you have to find a piece of radish and carve a stamp on it.

At this time, Odick ended the call and said to them:

"The homeless riots outside the city have already rushed in, and there is chaos."

"Sure enough..." Jiang Baimian took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his armed belt and tried to contact Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.

But this didn't work out.

"Out of range..." Jiang Baimian sighed and said to Odick, "We have to go back to South Street and find some friends, lest they have any accident in the riot."

Odick understands very well:

"Drive my car and take these two away by the way."

"Okay, how can I pay you back later?" Jiang Baimian didn't waste time being polite.

"If the riot ends soon, go to the guild, if not, go outside the city lord's mansion, and there is a special pass in the car." Odick said simply.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian didn't talk anymore, they carried Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei on their backs, and ran to the first hospital near the gate. Using the key given by Odick, they opened the door and got into the car, and drove out.

Until this time, the city guards assigned to this side had just arrived.

Because they had special passes, they broke out of the encirclement without much effort, exited North Street, and entered the central square.

When we got here, the sound of gunshots became more and more obvious, coming from all directions, and there were countless corpses on the ground, some adults, some children, some men, some women, some neatly dressed, some tattered clothes, and some incomplete corpses. Yes, some seem to be strangled, some look like city guards, some hold guns like ordinary hunters...

Their blood splattered on the ground, complemented by a large number of bullet holes.

There were also quite a few people sitting on the streets and alleys, stuffing wowotou in their mouths, watching the riots absentmindedly, neither joining nor resisting.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao didn't speak for a while.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian took off the walkie-talkie again and tried to contact Bai Chen and Long Yuehong.

This time, there was an echo there.

"Where are you?" Jiang Baimian tried to keep his tone steady, so as not to make the team members panic and nervous.

Bai Chen's voice sounded with a little noise:

"We're on our way to the 'Affordable Gun Shop'.

"We were still on East Street when the homeless rushed in, and we just found a place to hide.

"Now that the first wave of riots has dispersed, and a large number of people are no longer concentrated, we plan to go back and move the supplies in the room to the jeep, then drive to pick you up, leave from the city gate of East Street, and return to the city when the situation stabilizes. "

"Very good. We will meet at the alley outside the 'Afu Gun Store'." Jiang Baimian praised, motioning for Shang Jianyao to drive Odick's red off-road vehicle into South Street.

The sound of Dangdang sounded, and the occasional bullets were blocked by the thick steel plate and bulletproof glass installed on the vehicle.

The situation on South Street is more serious than that in the central square, and there is even a stream of blood flowing along the street.

A large number of people died in the streets, with bodies everywhere, some with their eyes open, full of unwillingness and doubts.

Occasionally one or two living people can be seen, but most of them are dying, just instinctively groaning in pain.

Jiang Baimian's eyes swept away and suddenly pointed to a place:

"Go over."

That was the first restaurant they ate in after coming to Weed City:

“Old Noodle House”

At that time, Jiang Baimian and others were deeply impressed by the boss's combination of accents in many dialects and his insistence on borrowing books from the library to teach his grandson to read.

The same goes for the delicious oily and spicy noodles.

At this time, the noodle shop was in a mess.

The boss with white temples fell to the ground, with a big hole in his forehead, blood stained his clothes, and he was no longer angry.

Behind him was the corner of the wall, where a seven- or eight-year-old boy was squatting, shivering.

A few books, mostly pictures, were scattered around them.

On the other side of the noodle restaurant, at the only table that was not overturned, two people sat.

One was a man in his thirties, and the other was a seven- or eight-year-old girl.

They buried their heads, hula-la eating noodles from large bowls, turning a blind eye to the chaos and gunfire outside.

After Shang Jianyao stopped the car, Jiang Baimian immediately opened the door and jumped down, raising his hand to aim at the man who was eating noodles, and moving quickly to approach the noodle shop owner and the little boy behind him.

No need to do any other checks, she could only judge from the electrical signal that the boss was dead.

The man eating the noodles quickly shoveled the remaining green onions in the bowl into his mouth, licked the head of his chopsticks, stood up, and blocked the little girl behind him.

The little girl's face was dirty, but her eyes were bright.

She didn't stop, eating the rest of the noodles in two bites.

Shang Jianyao recognized the man. He had bronze skin, a face with a Chinese character, and a rather simple and honest appearance. It was the wilderness wanderer who answered Odick's question and told him the whereabouts of the fake "priest".

Seeing that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were both pointing their guns at him, the wilderness wanderer showed a smile that was uglier than crying:

"You shoot, I killed it.

"He didn't give us food, so I had to grab it and cook it myself...

"Otherwise, people will starve to death."

Recalling this incident, his expression became a little distorted, and his voice became a lot louder:

"Everyone is human, don't we deserve to live

"We are also human, do we deserve to starve to death?"

Jiang Baimian looked at him and the little girl behind him who reluctantly put down the bowls and chopsticks, but did not pull the trigger.

After a few seconds, a gunshot rang out, and the man fell down, blood gushing out of his chest.

It was Shang Jianyao who shot.

The little girl watched this scene numbly, without crying or shouting.

Jiang Baimian turned his head slightly and looked at Shang Jianyao, only to see him holding a gun in both hands, aiming forward, with a rather solemn expression and a very serious expression.

Looking back, Jiang Baimian quickly ordered:

"Take both of them and join Xiaobai and the others."

If you just leave it alone, in this chaotic situation, there will be no way for the two children to survive.

At that time, after the Weed City has regained its stability, we will find a way to resettle it.

Shang Jianyao nodded, and guarded the two children on the red off-road vehicle. One was squeezed into the back seat with the unconscious Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, and the other entered the co-pilot and stayed beside Jiang Baimian.

The two children did not cry, did not resist, and seemed to be terrified.

When the vehicle gradually moved away from the "Time-honored Noodle Shop", the little boy and the little girl seemed to wake up and threw themselves against the window at the same time.

They looked at the two corpses and cried out in a heart-wrenching way:

"grandfather!"

"dad!"

In the alley where "A Fu Gun Store" is located.

Long Yuehong hurriedly swung his right arm and pulled the trigger.

boom!

A homeless man with a knife who jumped out of nowhere fell on his back, twitching his body.

Compared with the beginning, Long Yuehong is now quite calm.

There were not ten wanderers in the wilderness who died at his hands, but there were seven or eight.

After he and Bai Chen left the hiding place on East Street, they went back to the "Afu Gun Store" along the route with the fewest people, but even so, they also encountered a lot of wild homeless people who killed red eyes and grabbed red eyes and robbed people. The villains of this city.

After a little panic at the beginning, Long Yuehong found out that these people are not good at shooting and their skills are not good. As long as they avoid crowded groups, don't rush to places where bullets are flying indiscriminately, and cooperate with Bai Chen. , is fully capable of handling.

The only thing to worry about is that the ammunition you carry with you is only consumed, and there is no time to replenish it.

Of course, it was not without danger on the way. Long Yuehong and Bai Chen encountered a city defense team that was cleaning up wanderers in the wilderness. They didn't know that this team was tense and overreacting, and regarded them as chaotic people. , I still feel that there are only two of them, alone and alone, trying to annihilate them.

Fortunately, there were only five people in that team, and Bai Chen saw through their intentions in advance. After a chaotic battle, they left two corpses and evacuated to other alleys.

This made Long Yuehong a little scared and a little excited.

Because one of the city defense troops was killed by him with a headshot.

For him, this is a remarkable achievement.

Entering the "A Fu Gun Store", Bai Chen's eyes swept away, and his heart suddenly sank.

Many of the guns that were sold here are gone, in a mess and look like they've been robbed.

Almost at the same time, there was a gunshot from upstairs.

The sound was intermittent and disturbing.

"Aunt Nan..." Long Yuehong glanced at Bai Chen and said a name.

Bai Chen's expression did not change, he nodded:

"Let's go up and see."

After speaking, she added:

"There are a lot of supplies in the room."

"Okay." Long Yuehong didn't object, just put away the "ice moss" whose barrel was a little hot, and replaced it with a "United 202" pistol, which was full of bullets.

When they came to the back door of the "Affordable Gun Store", they passed through the door and glanced at the yard to make sure that the jeep was still parked in its original position.

Obviously, the wilderness wanderers who rushed here have no interest in the car for the time being, and they did not find a lot of materials hidden in the car.

Turning into the stairs, one after another corpses came into the eyes of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

They were men and women, lying on their backs or on their backs, all of them were shot to death.

Bai Chen scanned it quickly, subconsciously accelerating his pace.

As they approached the second floor, the gunshots rang out from above.

Bai Chen pressed his back very low and moved up carefully. Long Yuehong imitated her movements and followed closely behind.

Rounding the corner, they saw five or six armed men shooting at someone in a room on the second floor.

In front of them, the corpses were so dense that they were almost piled up.

Without any hesitation, Bai Chen raised his hands and shot at the group of men who looked like wanderers in the wilderness. Long Yuehong did the same without asking any further questions.

Bang bang bang!

With the counterattack inside, they emptied their bullets and cleaned up all the enemies in front.

"It's us!" Then, Bai Chen shouted loudly.

Aunt Nan's voice came out immediately:

"Come up quickly."

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong ran up and saw a bunch of people hiding in that room, including Aunt Nan and Gu Changle, the shareholders of the "Afu Gun Store", and women of different ages who were in the flesh business. They shrank inside, shivering slightly.

And guarding the door, it was An Ruxiang who didn't let a wilderness wanderer rush up.

The relic hunter and "temporary teacher" held a pistol, half squatted, leaning against the wall, his expression was still indifferent, and he seemed very calm.

Aunt Nan's younger brother, A Fu, was in charge of loading bullets and handing over guns.

Seeing Bai Chen and Long Yuehong come up, An Ruxiang suddenly sat down and gasped.

A rare smile appeared on her face, clean and pure.
