The Scavengers

Chapter 25: Chaos and gluttony

Views:

The child looked at the chaos in front of him in silence and reminded Xiao Mo, "Mission."

Xiao Mo nodded to show that he knew.

The child felt that Xiao Mo's attitude was a bit strange. He seemed to not care about his own life, even though the task deadline was so urgent.

Why

The child frowned, he didn't want to find a suicidal protector in such chaotic times. But this person doesn't look like he doesn't cherish life, he is a contradictory person.

The last group of people were still conscious. These people were frightened and fled in all directions. Some people ran while shouting: "Eating people! Zombies have appeared!" and other weird words.

When the lonely old man saw someone snatching the food he had managed to protect, he didn't go after the two gangsters. Instead, he took the glass bottle and stabbed the person who snatched his food.

Those people fought with the old man again.

Screams and curses rang out.

In addition to here, riots also occurred on the road outside the community gate and among nearby residents.

At this moment, the air seems to be full of excitement and crazy factors. Many people are extremely excited, like a powder keg.

The unique rusty smell of blood is the trigger!

The neighborhood police came riding bicycles, but they were blocked on the road.

Many people would pull up to people in police uniforms whenever they saw them, begging them to stay to help and protect themselves.

The number of people jumping on the injured and sucking their blood is increasing.

The gangster named Xinzi's legs twitched violently a few times and stopped moving.

The homeless woman with a punctured eye was still wailing on the ground. The man lying on her body looking for blood deliberately cut her artery with broken glass shards on the ground. Three people surrounded her.

The homeless man with a head injury is fighting to the death. He is probably the most difficult to subdue, and there is currently only one person attacking him.

Ding Qiao stepped forward and kicked away the person who was jumping on the homeless man. When the homeless man found an opportunity, he got up from the ground and ran away quickly.

The person who was kicked away was kicked away as soon as he tasted a little blood. He was furious and rushed forward to pester Ding Qiao.

"Dingqiao!"

"Brother Xiao!"

When Ding Qiao saw Xiao Mo, it was as if he had seen his backbone. His eyes lit up and he ran towards Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo rushed over and quickly kicked away the irrational man, pulled him across Ding Bridge and ran away.

Running to the child, Xiao Mo picked up the child, called to Dingqiao, opened the door and got in the car.

The gate of the community has been blocked. If he wants to get past those crazy people and go home, he will definitely have to pay some price. Xiao Mo has to give up the idea of arranging the child first. Ding Qiao happens to be there too. Maybe he can temporarily put the child away while doing the task. Entrusted to Ding Qiao.

Ding Qiao followed. He could no longer stop those people. He wanted to find the patrol police.

"Brother Xiao, let's go find the police."

Xiao Mo hesitated for two seconds and agreed.

"What a waste of time," the child muttered.

Xiao Mo rubbed his head. It wouldn't take much time to find the police. The Mother of Gluttonous Beasts is not running around, and is staying in the park.

It's not that he doesn't care about his own life, it's mainly because he hasn't figured out yet how to deal with or deal with the mother of gluttonous beasts.

Do you really want to kill her? That was a living person, a woman. Even if the woman carries the virus, maybe there is no need to kill her. Instead, capture her and hand her over to a disease center or some other place. Maybe it can not only prevent the spread of the virus, but also save her life

He thought that maybe the reason why those previous recyclers failed was because they had no way to kill humans, not to mention that some of them might be their relatives.

If you weren't a crazy or naturally perverted person, even if you knew there was a system in your brain, you wouldn't kill someone so easily, right

That's killing people! According to the child's diary, to recycle is to kill.

Killing one person can save 10,000 people. It is easy to say, but really let you do it...

The man who once felt that he would never have a chance to kill people in his life is now deeply entangled.

The car starts.

Xiao Mo drove, Ding Qiao sat in the passenger seat, and the child sat in the back seat and looked out the window.

There was a commotion outside.

People were running everywhere and shouting everywhere.

Some people are fighting for something.

Some people fought like crazy.

A small number of police patrols wielded electric batons to prevent the chaos from spreading, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

A 24-hour convenience store on the roadside was attacked.

The glass window clearly showed that all the customers inside had turned into robbers.

Several police officers tried to warn and intercept the robbers, but to no avail.

People kept running out of the supermarket, and people kept running in.

Those who were robbed were robbed again.

Injured people could be seen everywhere inside and outside the convenience store, and the entire chaos was three times more chaotic than outside their community.

Even the closed doors of grain and oil stores on the roadside were forcibly broken open.

The shop owner got into a fight with the people who were trying to steal food and oil.

The shop owner's two-year-old daughter was crying loudly in her stroller.

Breakfast shops, noodle shops, bakeries, etc. that have been closed for many days have all been damaged to varying degrees.

Some people avoid it, some people are indifferent, and some people are extremely excited.

The police used electric horns to repeatedly appeal to everyone to calm down.

But instead of getting better, the situation became worse.

"What happened to all this?" Ding Qiao looked at the chaos outside the car and asked in horror.

Xiao Mo didn't answer. Because he doesn't know the answer either.

"Is everyone crazy?" Ding Qiao didn't expect anyone else to answer. He just had to say something to cover up his panic and uneasiness.

Xue Lihong stared out the window, seemingly observing something.

After a while of silence, Ding Qiao couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Xiao, do you think the person who sucked blood just now was really... a zombie?"

"Zombies also eat meat, right?" Xue Lihong said suddenly.

Ding Qiao smiled, and his fear suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Mo also curled up his lips.

"Are they vampires? But it's daytime again. So what are they? What happened to the good people?" Ding Qiao scratched his head.

Xiao Mo, who knew some answers, did not speak.

"This can be analyzed from the surface first." Xue Lihong sat upright and said seriously: "People who snatch food mean that they are hungry. People who snatch blood may be eager to obtain certain elements in the blood."

Ding Qiao looked back at the child in shock, then turned to Xiao Mo and said, "Brother Xiao, your child is really smart."

"Squeak--!" Xiao Mo suddenly braked.

Ding Qiao and Xue Lihong, who were not wearing seat belts, were caught off guard and pounced forward together.

Fortunately, the speed of the car was not fast. Ding Qiao hugged the vital parts of his head in time and offset the collision with his arms. Xue Lihong was a little miserable, and her head hit the back of the chair.

"Brother Xiao?!"

"Sorry! Are you all okay?"

"It's okay, what happened just now?" Ding Qiao was distracted and didn't pay attention to the front.

Xiao Mo pressed down the car window and cursed loudly at a pedestrian outside the car who just ran in front of his car: "I said, brother, if you want to die, don't hurt anyone! There are children in my car!"

The pedestrian just ran, as if he was frightened by something, and disappeared after a while.

Xiao Mo pressed the car window again, turned around and asked the child: "Are you okay?"

Xue Lihong rubbed her forehead, put on her safety belt obediently and said, "It's okay."

Xiao Mo felt relieved after hearing this, turned around and was about to start the vehicle, but a scene happening in the supermarket square not far away made him stop all his actions.

Ding Qiao also fastened his safety belt.

The lesson just taught them clearly: no matter how short the road is, accidents will happen. Please wear your seat belt whenever you are in a car.

Everyone, big and small, who fastened their seat belts, was waiting for Xiao Mo to start the car again, but Xiao Mo just stared out of the car blankly, as if someone had tapped his acupoints.

"Fangtou, a large number of people are attacking supermarkets everywhere! There is definitely something wrong with this!" Chen Bing yelled at Fang Zhenggang.

"I saw it even if you didn't tell me."

Fang Zhenggang was answering the phone. Police cadres in the quarantine area were calling him, asking him to send more manpower, saying that various riots were taking place in various jurisdictions in the quarantine area.

"Chen Bing, ask people to close all the doors of the supermarket and pull down all the curtains! All staff exit from the back door!"

"Yes!" Chen Bing immediately ran to convey the instructions.

"Ye Biao, you drive down the street and use your electric horn to tell everyone that you can go to Liangoule Supermarket to get a lot of food for free. At the same time, let normal people who don't feel hungry stay at home, close the doors and windows and don't come out. No, don't say the latter one. , so as not to make them think too much.”

"What?" A policeman who was busy setting up defenses was stunned.

Fang Zhenggang patiently repeated the order and yelled again: "Hurry up and go!"

"yes!"

Fang Zhenggang ran out of the supermarket, which was immediately blocked.

Outside the supermarket, the armed police who had not left held shields in front of the supermarket.

But more and more people gathered in the supermarket square.

"Superintendent Fang, the situation outside is not good. How long will it take for support to arrive? We have just allocated half of our manpower to guard another large supermarket. The remaining manpower may not be able to support it for long." Zhang, the leader of the armed police team When the team saw Fang Zhenggang, they grabbed him.

"I know. I'm applying to the higher-ups. In addition to manpower support, I'm also asking for some sleeping gas to be sent over."

"Hypnotic gas? Will this..."

"The latest research from the National Academy of Sciences shows that it does no harm to the human body and is suitable for group attacks."

"...Superintendent Fang, are you kidding me?"

Fang Zhenggang patted Captain Zhang on the back, "Don't be so nervous. This is not a riot, this is just a new type of famine. Either let them sleep and wait for the doctors to treat them; or feed them. Which one do you choose?"

Captain Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how much they need to eat to be full."

"Yes, I don't know either. Comparing the price of sleeping gas with the accumulated losses after letting these hungry people open their bellies to smash, smash and rob, I think sleeping gas is more cost-effective."

Captain Zhang was amused by Fang Zhenggang. Fang Zhenggang was so anxious that he cursed in his heart while answering another call for help with a relaxed expression.

Police cars shuttled through the streets and alleys near Lianguole, using electric horns to inform everyone over and over again: There was a large amount of free food available in front of Lianguole Supermarket. Those who need it hurry up!

Everyone who heard the news, whether they were normal or abnormal, began to gather at Liangoule Supermarket Plaza.

Some people who were committing vandalism, smashing, looting or planning to commit vandalism, smashing and looting also temporarily gave up their criminal activities and went to Lianguole instead. After all, even if they are starving, they can still tell which situation is more beneficial to them.

Normal human beings, except for a few who are greedy for petty gains, choose to hide at home and wait for the storm to pass. Smart people all know that it is definitely not wise to go to the Lianguo Plaza where crazy people gather at this time.

Although the hungry ghosts, who were about to lose their minds due to hunger, doubted whether this was a government conspiracy against them, such as rounding them up and catching them all in one go, they gave up their doubts when they saw that normal people were also running to Liangoule. .

Of course, some suspicious hungry ghosts did not go to Lianguole, but the majority did.

What Xiao Mo saw was a large and dense crowd in the Liangoule Supermarket Plaza.

According to his visual inspection, there are at least two to three thousand people gathered here, and there are still many people rushing here.

But what stunned him was not the dense crowd, but the extremely bloody, weird and bizarre scene taking place on the road in front of the square.

Xue Lihong unbuckled her seat belt and lay on the back of Xiao Mo's chair, and suddenly said: "Many human behaviors are extremely contagious, especially when the crowd is collectively in a special mental state."

Ding Qiao also saw it, and everyone who walked or passed by saw that scene.

No wonder the pedestrian just now was so scared that he couldn't even see the car and just ran away.

Just on the edge of the supermarket plaza, a group of people were sucking the blood of cats and dogs on the roadside.

The corpses of dogs and cats that had been drained of their blood were discarded in the flower beds on the roadside.

At this time, people kept coming over with cats and dogs, joining in the slaughtering of cats and dogs, and then exchanging blood with each other according to the size of the cats and dogs.

Many people bypass them.

But others are joining them.

This weird scene is like some kind of sacrifice to the dark god.

It would be fine if it really was a sacrifice, but it wasn't.

The screams of cats and dogs before they die are terrifying to hear.

The cats and dogs that were sent one after another seemed to know their upcoming fate. Looking at the large number of corpses of the same kind, they arched their backs, opened their mouths, screamed, and desperately tried to escape from their owners and captors.

The miserable sounds of cats meowing and dogs barking also reached the innermost part of the crowd.

Is this all caused by the glutton virus

The system suddenly made a sound at this time: "If you continue to hesitate, the situation will only get worse."
