There is a very prosperous shopping plaza to the south of Mingwen Girls' High School.
Normally at this time, the shopping mall would be occupied by a group of aunts, forming a party-like carnival under the singing of Little Apple.
Today, this square is deserted, and the aunts who come in all weathers may not dare to come here to sing and dance, because just last night they witnessed a group of demon wolves swallowing their dance partners alive while they were singing and dancing.
The blood stains have been washed away by the rain, and what is left in the huge square are some human limbs. Looking at them for a few more times will make you vomit.
Around the square, there are always some low growls and roars, and from time to time, a scream breaks the dullness, and you can immediately know that another person has been found by the demon.
The shopping building occupies nearly one-third of the square. This is a brand new shopping mall, but it has been completely damaged due to the demon's wantonness. Broken glass, broken walls and doors, and messy floors can be seen everywhere.
The first underground floor of the square is the Wal-Mart City. Human food is not very attractive to demons, otherwise this place will soon be a gathering place for demons.
Lucky for me, the reason why I need to take the elevator down has not been discovered by the demon yet.
People hiding in the city sat helplessly on the ground. All they could do was pray, praying that the demon would never find this place.
"Are we abandoned like this?" A girl holding her knees and sobbing in the corner asked softly.
"Most of the people outside are dead. It's only a matter of time before we are discovered here." The city manager sat there slumped and said with a numb face.
"No, sitting here will just wait for death. We have to get out. There is still a chance of survival." said the man in charge of transporting the city's goods.
"I'm a plumber. I've been doing this job for decades. If you all follow me down the tunnel, you won't run into monsters." said a thin middle-aged man in blue overalls.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard what the man said.
I heard a young man who escaped here said that monsters can be seen everywhere outside. If they go to the ground, they will be eaten by monsters in minutes. If they go underground, they can easily pass through the inscriptions and reach the safety barrier. Since there are workers who are familiar with the city's underground drainage system, there is no chance of getting lost underneath.
"Come on, hurry up, I don't want to stay in this hellish place."
"Yeah, under the bloody alert, there is basically no hope of survival if you don't evacuate to the safe barrier..."
"Let's go, hurry up, sooner or later the demon will show up here."
There were about fifteen people in the city, and after hearing that plumbers were leading the way, their eyes flickered with hope of survival.
It just so happened that there was a direct entrance to the underground tunnel, so they could hope to evacuate to a safe boundary.
Everyone quickly packed up and evacuated collectively to the underground tunnel following the plumber.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, can anyone help me? There is a girl in a wheelchair here. She shouldn't be able to walk..." A thin girl said hurriedly to the group of people who were leaving.
"She's crazy, who can care about her now?"
"Yes, wheelchairs cannot be used in the sewers. If you want, girl, come with us." The fat city manager said.
The plumber walked in front, and everyone else pretended not to hear and quickly followed the plumber.
"Then which one of you will carry her on your back? Please don't leave her. Please." The skinny little girl almost cried. She saw those people were almost walking away and didn't know what to do for a while.
Although a few people turned their heads and looked at the girl in the wheelchair with a bit of unbearable expression, unfortunately they still turned away...
They can't protect themselves. If they encounter a demon in the underground, they won't be able to escape even if they want to escape with a girl on their back.
"It's not good for us to do this. The girl looks quite pitiful." One of the women said in a low voice.
"What's not good is that she can't walk on her own. How can she blame us? If you feel sorry for her, go and carry her. Don't blame me for not telling you. There are many pipes in the sewer that you have to climb up and down, and some ladders make it even more difficult for you. Her legs are weak from stepping on her, and we probably won’t be able to reach the safety barrier for a day or two with her,” said the plumber.
"Ichi may not be discovered by the demon, she can just wait there for rescue."
Everyone's lips twitched when they heard the words "waiting for rescue".
There is no possibility of rescue under the bloody alert. Most magicians will be summoned to the safety barrier to ensure the safety of more people. Most of those who are still outside will have to find a way to evacuate on their own.
Therefore, the girl in the wheelchair can only pray that the city will never be discovered by the demon.
…
The market soon emptied out, but the thin girl who spoke just now was still standing next to the girl in the wheelchair. She was almost biting her lips as she looked at the retreating figures.
"You go with them." The girl in the wheelchair forced a smile and said to the strange girl next to her.
"I'm sorry... I really want to take you with me." The thin woman said with great embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, just follow them."
"Is there anything you can do for me?"
The girl in the wheelchair seemed to have thought of something. She quickly took off her bracelet and handed it to the thin woman and said, "If you reach the safety barrier, give this to my family..."
The skinny girl quickly memorized the information about the wheelchair girl's family, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will inform them and let them find a way to rescue you."
The girl in the wheelchair shook her head and said, "Please tell him that I have been killed."
The thin woman opened her mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Finally, the thin woman turned around and left. She wanted to turn her head several times but resisted.
…
The cold-colored light fell on that corner, and Jia Qian, a white-collar worker working here, felt really, really uncomfortable. She thought that some of the men just now would stand up and be willing to carry this girl away, but they all left in a hurry...
This indifference is chilling.
But what can Jia Qian do? Her legs are still injured. It's good that she can keep up with those people while limping. There is no way she can carry the girl in the wheelchair.
The girl in the wheelchair whose name I didn't know looked very calm. When everyone decided to leave her behind, she didn't pray at all, and you couldn't even see the panic and despair in her eyes.
"sorry Sorry… "
Jia Qian's lips were bitten, and in the end she could only apologize non-stop, and then ran towards those who left before.
All of a sudden, the entire city was completely empty, except for a simple and cheap wheelchair and a girl wearing a light green plain skirt...
Everyone had left, Ye Xinxia slowly lowered her head, covering her face with hair, and folded her white palms on her legs.
Even if he is so calm, the uneasiness will still spread, and the best manifestation is that he unconsciously tightens his skirt.
She didn't blame those people in her heart, just like she couldn't walk. Who could she blame
Everyone has the right to live well.
However, when the silence around you is a bit scary, when you don't know when you will die, the helplessness of being abandoned by the whole world will spread to every cell in your body, and you will not be able to figure out whether you are continuing to suffer like this. Waiting helplessly; or is it over and done with, there is no need to linger in this world
As if she had made a decision, she slowly pushed the wheelchair and slowly moved herself closer to the kitchen area.
She stood up from the wheelchair with difficulty and grabbed one of the sharp fruit knives.
She could stand up and could barely walk a few steps, but her weak legs would soon tire her out.
Sitting back on the wheelchair, she slowly pushed the wheelchair back to the previous position...
…
Ye Xinxia's move happened to fall in the eyes of Jia Qian, a white-collar worker who was leaving the city in the distance, and a trace of guilt once again spread in her heart.
Perhaps once the city is invaded by monsters, the girl in the wheelchair will end her own life.
Jia Qian took a deep breath and finally closed the door.
