"Where's the food? Where's the free food I was promised?"

Fang Zhenggang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was 18:03, and then he picked up the electric horn at hand and shouted: "Please be patient, the food is on its way and will arrive in about fifteen minutes. "

This is when the first reinforcements and sleeping gas arrive.

"Why do you make us wait? I'm starving!"

"Open the supermarket and let us in!"

"That's it, take out the inventory from the supermarket!"

“Give us food from the supermarket!”

Captain Zhang retreated to Fang Zhenggang, "Everyone can no longer resist."

"What weapons do you have?"

"We did not expect to encounter such a riot-like situation. We thought we could just arrest and suppress some hungry ghosts like last time."

"You didn't bring anything?"

"I brought a box of tear gas in total, but I think it is not applicable in this situation. There are too many of them and there are too few of us. When the tear gas runs out, we will suffer."

"Hold on a little longer. Support will arrive in fifteen minutes. If you really can't hold on anymore, follow my orders and throw tear gas at the crowd."

"Okay. But please remember, we only have half a box of tear gas, and I gave the other half to my colleagues at Haomeido, and it's almost dark."

Fang Zhenggang said he knew.

Today is a bad day, he thought.

His new girlfriend, whom he has dated three times and feels good about, has a birthday today. He originally planned to take her to one of the best cafeterias in the city for dinner after get off work tonight, and then... asked her if she would be interested in spending a nice night with him. Watch now These plans can only become plans.

Who told him that this quarantine area was not dangerous at all and that everything was under control

When he goes back, he must have a heart-to-heart talk with the colleague from the relevant unit who is responsible for making the observation report, and then give him a vivid private lesson to teach him how to do the observation work to be qualified.

Here, seeing Xiao Mo back safe and sound, Xue Lihong and Ding Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The child winked at Xiao Mo, "Is it solved?"

Xiao Mo nodded weakly, and then quickly confirmed with the system in his mind: "The Mother of Gluttonous Beasts has been recovered. Those who sucked blood should return to normal, right?"

"Yes, but not until 6:15."

Xiao Mo frowned, "What will happen at 6:15?"

"Not mission related..."

"You can shut up." Xiao Mo raised his wrist and looked at the time. At 18:10, he wanted to go home.

Xue Lihong suddenly opened the window.

"What's wrong? Don't open the window, be careful of the lunatics outside." Xiao Mo kept looking for opportunities to turn and drive the car to his shop, but more and more people gathered in the square. There was no room left in the square. Many People were standing on the road.

He almost broke through the crowd once, but was blocked by the endless crowd. This made him feel that all the living residents nearby had come here.

Fortunately, he has now changed from the left lane to the right lane and successfully advanced fifty meters.

Now his location happens to be parallel to the supermarket plaza.

"Feng..." Xue Lihong stretched her hand out of the window.

"Feng? What happened to Feng?" Xiao Mo turned around, confused.

Xue Lihong opened the car door, jumped out of the car, and looked up at the sky.

Xiao Mo was worried about the child and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

"What are you looking at?" Ding Qiao didn't get out of the car, he just pressed down the window and looked out.

Xiao Mo walked to the child and saw that he was looking attentive. He turned around and looked up at the sky.

The blue sky seemed to be dyed with a light pink gold color.

It's very light, you can't even see it if you don't pay attention.

"Summer is long, and the sun won't set until around 7:30. Now... the sky shouldn't be this color. What is that?" Xiao Mo asked.

"I don't know, it's not refracted sunlight." The child shook his head and took out a small metal rod with a rubber ball on the front end from his backpack.

"What's this?"

"Air capture cum composition analyzer."

"Looks a lot like a toy."

"Its function is very powerful." The child emphasized.

Xiao Mo smiled and continued to look up at the sky, "The color seems to have become darker. Is that a plane over there?"

"Where? The plane has also been dyed pink gold. It looks very nice." The child looked up and then lowered his head to operate the metal rod. I don't know which button he pressed. The balloon at the front of the metal rod bulged slightly.

"It looks pretty, but it's not normal. Huh? It tastes so sweet..." Xiao Mo looked at the time again, 18:15, what will happen next

Fang Zhenggang suddenly sniffed his nose and asked Chen Bing next to him, "Did you smell a sweet smell?"

"A little bit, but it's not obvious. Square Tou, your nose is really sharp."

Fang Zhenggang looked at his watch, 18:16.

"The support staff will arrive soon. We only need to support for a while longer..." Fang Zhenggang looked up at the sky again and felt that the color of the sky in the evening was a bit too bright.

Is this some kind of meteorological anomaly

“It smells so good!”

"What is the taste?"

"It's so sweet, like bread... No, like... ah! I'm so hungry!"

"Where's the food? Where's the promised food?"

"Those policemen are lying to us! They don't have free food for us at all! Don't wait any longer. There is food in the supermarket behind them. Everyone rush! They don't dare to hurt us!"

"Come on! It's better to fight them than to starve to death!"

"Give us food!"

"Give us food!"

The crowd, stimulated by the sweet smell of food and losing their minds, pressed forward crazily.

The armed policemen holding shields retreated step by step.

Captain Zhang turned around and shouted at Fang Zhenggang: "Superintendent Fang, we can't hold on any longer!"

Fang Zhenggang gritted his teeth and threw tear gas as a last resort. With such a dense crowd, once thrown, it would likely cause a stampede.

hold on!

Again… !

The armed police have retreated to the entrance of the supermarket. Behind them are the doors and windows of the supermarket. They have no retreat.

"Superintendent Fang!"

"Throw... wait! I see the convoy! They're coming!"

Xiao Mo also saw the convoy.

The convoy is getting closer.

The crazy hungry ghosts in the square also paused for a moment.

Fang Zhenggang took the opportunity to grab the electric horn and shouted: "Fresh and free food will be here soon! Everyone, please wait a moment! Please stay where you are... squeak!"

The electric horn made a strange screeching sound and fell to the ground.

Xiao Mo watched the convoy approaching, and the nervousness he had been feeling was finally calmed down. Rescuers were coming. The commotion here should subside soon, right

wrong!

Why is the truck in the lead going so fast

The car is rushing here? !

How is this going

Xiao Mo picked up the child and put him in the back seat, then quickly turned around to the driver's seat, started the car and turned right, honking the horn wildly and shouting: "Ding Qiao, put your head in and stop looking, close the window. Let’s get out of here!”

Ding Qiao didn't respond, his head resting limply on the car window.

"Ding Qiao?"

Xiao Mo braked suddenly.

Pedestrians walking or talking suddenly fell down in front of, behind, and around the car windows.

Just in the direction of his car, a large group of people fell in the middle of the road.

Xue Lihong was prepared this time and did not let her head hit the back of the chair.

Ding Qiao only moved, but still had no reaction.

Xiao Mo stopped the vehicle, put on the handbrake, and leaned forward to push Dingqiao.

"Ding Qiao? Hello!"

Ding Qiao had no reaction.

Xiao Mo simply leaned over with his whole body and used force to move Ding Qiao's upper body from the car window back to the back of the chair.

Ding Qiao closed his eyes tightly and fell unconscious.

Xiao Mo screamed several times and slapped Ding Qiao on the cheek, but Ding Qiao still had no reaction.

A car rushed past the left side of his body and hit the head of the speeding convoy.

"Old Xiao! Front!" Xue Lihong pointed at the front window and shouted.

Xiao Mo turned around.

"Bang! Boom!"

The first truck that came at speed crashed into the roadside flower bed.

The truck turned over and slid far away.

The hungry ghosts gathered in the square fled frantically.

The car that hit the front of it was thrown directly off the roadside, rolled several times in the sky, and fell into the ditch on the roadside!

"Bang! Boom!"

There were violent collisions one after another.

Xiao Mo saw with his own eyes that a row of convoys all lost control and crashed into each other. Some hit the trees on the roadside, some rushed into the flower bed in the center of the road, some rushed into the square, and some rushed directly into the road. In the river on the roadside.

There was a truck rushing straight towards them!

Xiao Mo opened his eyes wide. At this time, it was too late to jump out of the car or start the vehicle to avoid it.

Is his life going to end here

"System! What's going on?" Xiao Mo shouted in his head.

The system didn't answer him. It is only responsible for training and is not responsible for helping waste pickers solve unexpected problems.

At the critical moment, Xue Lihong took out an instrument from her backpack and pressed the button on the oncoming truck.

Instantly!

A white semi-arc light wave overflowed from the front of the car and lightly hit the oncoming truck.

The truck went flying!

Xiao Mo opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a goose egg.

Xue Lihong wiped away the sweat and didn't dare to let go of the instrument.

After several violent explosions, the world suddenly became extremely quiet.

No, that's just psychological.

Although some of the people gathered in the square fell down, many people were still awake. They screamed in terror at first, and then slowly gathered back after escaping from the square.

Xiao Mo opened the car door.

There were fallen people on the roadside.

Looking back, the driveway was bloody.

There were vehicles that collided with each other from far away, and there were also pedestrians who were run over by out-of-control vehicles while crossing the road. It was even worse for those who passed out while walking, and even screamed when they were crushed into bloody mud.

Ninggu Avenue and Liangoule Plaza are like hell on earth.

Xiao Mo staggered two steps forward, just in time to see a human head rolling in front of him. This was a human head that was crushed by a tire and then bounced away.

The head was covered in blood, and only the short hair could tell that it was a man.

Xiao Mo suppressed his desire to vomit and avoided the head.

"What the hell is going on? System, damn it, answer me! The Mother of Gluttonous Beasts has been recovered, why does this happen again!?"

The system remains silent.

Xiao Mo was anxious and angry, his eyes were red.
