The Scavengers

After 6pm on June 19

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

Fang Zhenggang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. At 18:03, he picked up the electric speaker and shouted, "Please be safe, everyone. The food is on its way and will arrive in about 15 minutes."

This is when the first reinforcements and hypnotic gas arrive.

"Why make us wait? I'm starving to death!"

"Open the supermarket, let's go in!"

"That's right, take out the stock in the supermarket!"

"Bring us something from the supermarket!"

Team Zhang retreated to Fang Zhenggang's side, "Everyone can't stand it anymore."

"What weapons do you have?"

"We didn't expect to encounter such a riot. We thought that we only need to 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 don't think it is applicable in this situation. There are too many of them and too few of us. When the tear gas runs out, we will suffer."

"Hold on for a while, the support will arrive in 15 minutes, if you really can't hold on, follow my orders and throw tear gas at the crowd."

"Okay. But remember, we only have half a tank of tear gas, and I'm giving away the other half to my colleagues at Hormido, and it's getting dark."

Fang Zhenggang said he knew.

What a bad day today, he thought.

His new girlfriend who has dated three times and feels good with each other is today's birthday, and he was going to take her to the best cafeteria in town after get off work tonight, and then...asked her if she would be interested in spending a good night with him, and now It seems that these plans can only become plans.

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

When he goes back, he must have a heart-to-heart talk with the colleague in charge of 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 come back safe and sound, Xue Lihong and Ding Qiao both heaved a sigh of relief.

The child winked at Xiao Mo, "Solved?"

Xiao Mo nodded weakly, and then quickly confirmed with the system in his mind: "The mother of gluttonous beasts has been recovered, those blood-sucking people should return to normal, right?"

"Yes, but not until six-fifteen."

Xiao Mo frowned, "What will happen at [-]:[-]?"

"Non-quest related..."

"You can shut up now." Xiao Mo raised his wrist to check the time, it was 18:10, he wanted to go home.

Xue Lihong suddenly opened the window.

"What's the matter? Don't open the window, be careful of those lunatics outside." Xiao Mo has been looking for an opportunity to turn a corner, trying to drive the car to his shop, but more and more people gathered in the square, and there was no room for them to stand on the square. Everyone stood on the road.

He almost broke through the crowd once, but was blocked by the constant crowd.This made him feel that as long as the nearby residents were still alive, they all ran here.

Fortunately, he has now changed from the left lane to the right lane and has successfully advanced 50 meters.

Now his position is exactly parallel to the supermarket square.

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

"Wind? What's wrong with the wind?" Xiao Mo turned his head, puzzled.

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

Xiao Mo was worried about the child, so he pushed the door and got out of the car.

"What are you looking at?" Ding Qiao didn't get out of the car, but just pushed down the window and stretched his head to look out.

Xiao Mo walked up to the child, seeing that he was focused, he also turned around and looked up at the sky.

The blue sky seemed to be tinted with a faint pink gold.

It's very faint, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention.

"Summer is long, and the sun doesn't set until around 07:30. Now... the sky shouldn't be this color. What is that?" Xiao Mo asked.

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

"what is this?"

"Air Capture cum Composition Analyzer."

"Looks like a toy."

"It's very powerful." The child emphasized.

Xiao Mo smiled, and continued to look up at the sky, "The color seems to be darker. Is that an airplane over there?"

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

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

Fang Zhenggang sniffed his nose suddenly, and asked Chen Bing beside him, "Do you smell a sweet smell?"

"A little bit, but it's not obvious. Fangtou, you have a good nose."

Fang Zhenggang looked at his watch, it was 18:16.

"The support staff is coming soon, we just need to support for a while..." 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, it's like... ahh! I'm so hungry!"

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

"The police 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 dare not hurt us!"

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

"Give us food!"

"Give us food!"

Stimulated by the sweet smell of food, the crowd crazily pressed forward.

The armed policemen with shields retreated step by step.

Team Zhang turned to Fang Zhenggang and yelled, "Supervisor Fang, we can't hold on anymore!"

Fang Zhenggang gritted his teeth. Throwing tear gas is only the last resort. With such a dense crowd, once it is thrown, it is likely to cause a stampede.

hold on!

Again……!

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

"Supervisor Fang!"

"Throw...wait! I see the convoy! Here they come!"

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 arrive soon! Everyone 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 hanging on was finally calmed down. The rescuers came. The disturbance here should subside soon, right?

wrong!

Why is the leading truck driving so fast?

The car is rushing here? !

How is this going?

Xiao Mo picked up the child and sent him to the back seat, then quickly turned back to the driver's seat, started the car and forced a right turn, honking the horn 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 rested limply on the car window.

"Ding Qiao?"

Xiao Mo slammed on the brakes.

Around the car windows, pedestrians who were walking or talking suddenly fell down one after another.

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 didn't let her head hit the back of the chair.

Ding Qiao only moved, but still didn't respond.

Xiao Mo stopped the vehicle, put on the handbrake, and leaned over to Tuiding Bridge.

"Ding Qiao? Hello!"

Ding Qiao didn't respond.

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

Ding Qiao closed his eyes tightly and was unconscious.

Xiao Mo yelled several times and slapped Ding Qiao on the cheek, but Ding Qiao still didn't respond.

A car rushed over from the left side of his body and crashed straight into the head of the convoy that was approaching quickly.

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

Xiao Mo turned his head.

"Bang! Boom!"

The first truck speeding past crashed into a flower bed by the side of the road.

The truck turned over and the body slid far out.

The hungry ghosts gathered in the square fled frantically.

And the car that hit its front was thrown out of the road, rolled several times in the sky, and fell into the ditch beside the road!

"Bang! Boom!"

One after another, violent impact sounds sounded.

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

A truck even rushed straight at them!

Xiao Mo's eyes widened, it was too late to jump out of the car or start the car to evade.

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, not for helping scavengers solve unexpected problems.

In the nick of time, Xue Lihong took out an instrument from her backpack and pressed the button on the oncoming truck.

instant!

A white semi-arc wave of light overflowed from the front of the car and lightly bumped into the rushing truck.

The truck flew out!

Xiao Mo opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a goose egg into it.

Xue Lihong wiped off her sweat, and dared not let go of the instrument.

After a few violent explosions, the world suddenly became extremely quiet.

No, that's just a psychological effect.

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

Xiao Mo pushed open the car door.

There are fallen people on the side of the road.

Looking back, the driveway was bloody.

There were vehicles that collided with each other from a distance, and pedestrians who were run over by out-of-control vehicles when crossing the road. It was even worse for those who passed out while walking, and were crushed into blood and didn't know how to scream.

Ninggu Avenue and Liangoule Plaza are like hell on earth.

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

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

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

"What the hell is going on? System, damn it, answer me! The mother of gluttonous beasts has been recovered, why is this happening!?"

The system remains silent.

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