Dozens of people rushed out of the rental houses and began smashing shops and houses around them. After rushing in, they packed up valuable items and took them away. In times of chaos, what is most valuable? Of course, it is food and gold. So, after these people rushed into a room, they began to loot. As long as there was food, they immediately packed it into bags and took it away. If there was gold and silver, they took that too.
The name of the success guru was Wang Xiao. Before the end of the world, he made a living by deceiving people, and his rhetoric was already perfected. At this moment, he wore a gentle smile, but he thought to himself, "A bunch of idiots, easily fooled by a few words. It's just right to let you guys be my vanguards honestly. When the time is right, I'll slip away!"
This guy actually wanted to take advantage of the chaos. He didn't care whether ordinary people were happy and stable. He only hoped that the situation would become more and more chaotic, so that he could continue to make a living. If the situation was not chaotic, then he would create chaos.
The dozens of people who were incited naturally didn't think carefully. If Wang Xiao's teachings were truly about success, why had he never succeeded? Why was he still living in a rental house? It seemed that the most valuable thing he had was his well-fitting suit.
However, if these people had any brains, they wouldn't believe in success gurus.
The dozens of people who started looting had no time to think about these issues. They had fallen into madness. After the doomsday descended, they had lost too much. Their former homes were no longer safe, and they could only live in Rongcheng. The wealth they had accumulated was useless due to the collapse of currency. Now, they had nothing. What else did they have to fear? Therefore, if they wanted anything, they would just take it!
"Bang," a heavy iron door was kicked open. A mother and son were hiding inside, trembling and looking at the looters.
"Where is the food? Where are the valuables?" The leader was a big man who grabbed the child and began to interrogate him.
The boy's mother quickly said, "It's in the box under the bed. It's all the rice I earned from working. Please don't hurt my son."
"Get lost!" The leader threw the boy aside, found the box under the bed, opened it, and indeed, there was a lot of rice inside. He then packed it into bags and left.
In times of chaos, the most valuable thing was food, because food could keep people alive, but money couldn't even buy a cabbage.
"This is the last ration for my mother and son. Please leave some for us. If we don't have food, we won't survive!" The mother began to beg, hoping that the other party would leave her some food. After the zombie outbreak, food became the most precious thing. Even working was settled with food. This box of rice didn't look like much, but it was what this mother had painstakingly saved for a month.
"Scram!" The big man kicked her away, knocking the mother to the ground, and then turned to leave.
Seeing this, the others felt even less burdened and began to rob. Wang Xiao also mixed in the crowd and robbed a lot of gold. As he robbed, he thought, "A bunch of bumpkins, only know how to rob food. Food will mold. It's better to rob gold. In the future, gold will definitely be more valuable than food."
Seeing his mother being beaten, the little boy immediately rushed forward to avenge his mother. He ran to the big man and bit him, biting him on the thigh. The big man was instantly enraged.
"You forced me to do this. I only wanted wealth before, but now you are seeking death!" The big man raised his dagger and stabbed out, killing the little boy on the spot. The mother, seeing this, rushed forward like a madwoman, shouting, "Give me back my son!"
"Then I'll send you to see him!" The big man became fierce and killed the mother as well.
After that, dozens of people frantically looted at the edge of the city, taking away anything that was there before! Anyway, the army was fighting outside the city, and the guards were guarding the core areas inside the city. It could be said that no one could stop them outside the city!
Unknowingly, the looting team grew. Wang Xiao had already robbed a large bag of gold and silver jewelry and felt it was enough. But when he looked back, hundreds of people on the entire street were smashing and looting. He had no memory of when these people had joined.
At this moment, Wang Xiao realized something was wrong, completely wrong! When did so many people join the looting? If he had this many people attending his lectures, he wouldn't have to starve. This meant that others were also participating in the looting.
Wang Xiao had originally planned to rob and leave, but now he was surprised to find that, without knowing when, the scale of the team had grown to hundreds of people, and these people had started setting fires. Flames erupted from many houses, and thick smoke rose into the sky, making the situation even more chaotic.
"Now that the scale has increased, I should hurry and run!" Wang Xiao felt that the situation was getting out of control and immediately felt a sense of foreboding. He just wanted to rob some gold and silver, but now, with so many people joining, chaos had already erupted. He knew that he couldn't stop the crazy people at this moment, so he turned and left.
Wang Xiao left潇洒ly, patting his butt and leaving hundreds of people to keep looting on the street. Some houses still had people hiding inside, blocking the doors with furniture and refusing to open for anyone. In response, these hundreds of looters directly set fires at the doors to force the people inside to come out.
However, almost all the security forces in Rongcheng were in the deep interior of the city. Therefore, without anyone to stop them, killing and arson had become commonplace. Women and children cried helplessly on the streets. Their belongings had all been looted. These people didn't understand why, when they were all human, others would come to rob them. Wasn't it said that they should help each other? Why were they so heartless now?
A little girl stood on the street holding a doll and crying loudly. Beside her lay a man who had been stabbed many times and had fallen to the ground, dead. This man was her father, and she could only cry powerlessly. Her crying was not loud, and it was drowned out by the cheers of the looters.
At this time, many districts on the outskirts of the city had become frenzied. This frenzied emotion was contagious, and tens of thousands of people joined the looting. Countless doors were kicked open. Survivors could only hide in corners and tremble, hoping not to be harmed.
Some people stood up to resist, but the number of looters was too large. In the end, these people were also killed. The remaining people dared not come forward, and could only watch as a group of crazy people looted their belongings. Then they were driven out of their homes, their houses were set on fire, and they could only stand on the street and howl helplessly.
The fire continued to grow. The burning of one house was a small matter, but when houses in the residential area were burned down one after another, the situation became increasingly uncontrollable!
Black smoke soared into the sky, dyeing the originally azure sky black. At this time, in the outer urban areas, looting, killing, and arson were common. More and more people joined in. As the zombies were gradually eliminated, these people appeared and began to do evil deeds, as if they felt that no one would be punished for a large number of people committing crimes, so they vented their internal pressure wantonly.
With three million zombies surrounding Rongcheng, many people spent each day in fear and pain. At this time, upon discovering that even looting and arson were not being managed, most people went mad. Since no one was managing these matters now, why not have a good time and vent all their previous fear and depression? Moreover, it was possible to gain more in the current chaos. It was as if a group of people had intuitively understood the art of taking advantage of a chaotic situation, and at once, they all understood it!
Xue Mingli had been listening to various reports from below. He felt relieved when he found that the zombies outside the city could not break through the last defense. Moreover, the guards were also eliminating zombies within the city. In this way, they would definitely be able to hold on and wait for reinforcements from Guanzhong. With the addition of a fresh force, the situation would stabilize.
However, at this moment, Xue Mingli suddenly heard that riots had occurred in some parts of the outer urban areas, with thousands of people beginning to loot nearby districts. He was helpless about this because he had no spare manpower!
Finally, Xue Mingli said with a trembling voice, "Tell the guards to continue to seal off the districts and not allow anyone to enter the city! For now, we can only wait for the reinforcements from Guanzhong to arrive!"
As Xue Mingli gave this order, Staff Officer Li immediately stood up and asked in disbelief, "How can we do this? This is equivalent to letting it go unchecked. The outer districts will become more and more chaotic! Then there will be more and more rioters, and the city will be even more chaotic."
"There is no other way!" Xue Mingli said loudly, "The army is outside blocking the zombies, the guards are killing the zombies appearing in the city, and even the espers have been dispatched. We have no spare manpower to deal with these matters! Do you want me to withdraw the army from outside the city to quell the rebellion?"
Staff Officer Li opened his mouth and couldn't say anything. It was true that there was no spare manpower to quell the rebellion that had broken out in the city.
"How long will it take for the reinforcements from Guanzhong to arrive?" the staff officer asked in a low voice.
"Another hour. Five thousand reinforcements will arrive by plane first, and the fighter jets will appear in the evening," Xue Mingli replied helplessly.
This meant that within an hour, no one would resolve the chaos in the outer urban areas. Who knew how many people would die tragically within this hour? It was just laughable that the current chaos was not caused by zombies, but by humans themselves.
The people in the command center all fell silent after learning about the chaos in the outer urban areas. Of course, they didn't want to stand by and do nothing, but at the moment, Rongcheng's forces were all dealing with the threat posed by the zombies, and there was no spare manpower to fight a group of rioters. Therefore, everyone was powerless to deal with the current situation and continued to work silently, continuing to fight against the zombies.
Meanwhile, Shen Feng led his men to eliminate tens of thousands of zombies that had come to harass them. Shen Feng told everyone to cover their eyes, then unleashed his esper ability, "East Wind Rages." With a gust of wind and flying sand, all the charging zombies were blinded. Taking this opportunity, the more than two thousand soldiers all charged forward, their rifles firing wildly, killing all the charging zombies.
Now, all two thousand soldiers under Shen Feng's command were evolved individuals, their stamina and speed greatly improved. Therefore, these soldiers charged forward without any hesitation. A single charge broke through tens of thousands of zombies. Although the number of bullets consumed was relatively large, it was worth consuming these bullets to eliminate the zombies that threatened the artillery!
Suddenly, Shen Feng saw fires appearing in the distant city, and it seemed that smoke was rising into the sky. Seeing this, he was immediately puzzled. Why were there fires in the city? Could it be that the zombies in the city could not be controlled?
Thinking of this, Shen Feng said to Chu Chaoyan and Yang Chang, "You two stay here and continue to protect the artillery. If there are too many zombies, retreat. I need to go to Rongcheng."
After seeing the fires and black smoke in the city, Shen Feng was very worried about the situation at home. Therefore, Shen Feng prepared to enter the city to take a look. If he encountered no danger, so be it. If he encountered danger, then he would definitely protect his family.
Chu Chaoyan nodded and said, "Alright, remember to say hello to your parents for me."
"Why does that sound so much like an insult?" Shen Feng couldn't help but complain when he heard Chu Chaoyan's words. Greeting parents had two meanings: either a genuine greeting or an insult. It could only be said that this was the charm of Chinese, and it needed to be understood in context.
Afterward, Shen Feng rushed towards Rongcheng. When passing through the zombie horde, Shen Feng directly stepped on the heads or shoulders of the zombies to advance. His speed was so fast that even evolved individuals could only see a blur, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. At this time, Shen Feng had used "As the Wind Follows," truly transforming into the wind. During this process, no zombies could find Shen Feng. At most, they would notice being stepped on, and then they couldn't see anything.
Shen Feng's advance towards Rongcheng was not discovered by zombies or humans, but it was captured by radar. The radar detected someone rapidly advancing towards Rongcheng and immediately alerted the soldiers below to pay attention. With such rapid movement, could it be a new type of zombie?
Hundreds of soldiers looked in Shen Feng's direction, ready to concentrate fire and kill him instantly. But at this moment, everyone realized that it seemed that what was rushing out of the zombie horde was not a zombie, but a human!
