Ch 256: The Crowd Turns
Tens of thousands of people besieged the truck, instantly surrounding it so tightly that not a single gap could be seen.
Among the crowd, the more than ten people who were the first to climb onto the supply truck, faced with the truck full of supplies, didn’t know how to begin for a time.
They could only desperately stuff supplies into their clothes.
At this time, a young man, covered in dirt, shouted to stop everyone.
“We can’t do this. The outside is full of people now; even if we take more, we won’t be able to keep it!”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
At this time, the truck had already begun to shake. It was obvious that the people who couldn’t squeeze onto the truck were trying to overturn it.
The young man, covered in dirt, shouted:
“Throw it out of the car! Let the outside get chaotic first, then we can take more supplies while the chaos ensues!”
Hearing this, the people on the truck immediately sprang into action, while the tarp on the supply truck had already been torn to shreds by the people outside.
The people on the truck kept throwing food out of the vehicle.
This action instantly ignited the war outside.
Grabbing, killing, beatingโa complete mess.
Those with weapons would mercilessly attack anyone holding supplies without hesitation.
The supplies flying from the truck became a hot potato that people had to grab.
This scene was playing out around all the supply trucks.
Three more supply trucks were completely overturned by the refugees who had lost their minds, and the supplies scattered everywhere caused a larger-scale riot.
Centered on the truck motorcade, everything within 300-400 meters was in complete chaos.
People were no longer people, but a group of extremely hungry zombies.
To compete for a mouthful of food, many unarmed people used their hands and mouths, resembling the image of zombies biting humans.
And this chaos was spreading throughout the crowd.
Everything here had already been transmitted back to the RV by the Silver Dragonfly.
Ranlin immediately parked the RV one kilometer away.
Looking at the chaos in the image, Xu Siyu and Wang Xueli were both shocked speechless.
“Oh my god, how could it become like this?”
Wang Xueli slowly came to her senses, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
She had been hungry before, though not to this insane degree, but she could understand the feeling that hunger brought.
“Sigh, I don’t know how many more people will die? Should we wake up Xiao Fan?”
Ranlin shook her head, her face expressionless.
“No need, Li Fan already guessed that this would happen, so he asked me to keep a 1000-meter distance from them.”
As she spoke, Ranlin looked at the map and sighed:
“If the crowd would just move a few kilometers further…”
“We could directly exit the highway at the highway entrance, detour to the south side of Yuan City, and re-enter the highway to avoid them.”
This large-scale riot of tens of thousands of people continued, but Li Fan, unaware of it all, was still fast asleep in his bedroom on the second floor of the RV.
But everyone ignored a young mother, holding a baby in swaddling clothes, who fell to the ground.
Her body was undergoing anti-human spasms, her limbs twitching irregularly.
A hoarse, low growl came from her throat, unfortunately, covered by the noisy shouting.
A minute later, the young mother stopped convulsing and slowly stood up, lunging at two people who were tearing at each other.
“What the f, you b bit me for what? I don’t have any food!”
The man who was bitten kicked the young mother away, without checking his wound, and went after an old woman.
Because the old woman had food.
The young mother, who had been kicked down, lunged into the denser crowd and gradually disappeared into the sea of people.
This disastrous riot lasted for three or four hours and showed no signs of subsiding.
Night had fallen, the moon hung high in the sky, and the three women in the RV had long since stopped paying attention to the chaos in the projection.
They were sitting together, watching a horror movie on another projection, engrossed in the terrifying plot.
The 3D stereoscopic projection made the two women fully immersed in the movie.
“Sister Xueli, let’s change the movie. Watching a horror movie late at night is too scary; we’ll definitely not be able to sleep later.”
“It’s exciting! If you can’t sleep, you can find someone to sleep with!”
Wang Xueli winked ambiguously at Xu Siyu.
“You, you’re so inappropriate. Look, the female lead is about to be caught.”
When the movie reached its most exciting moment, Xu Siyu tightly hugged Wang Xueli’s arm.
Bang!
“Ah!!!”
Suddenly, the vehicle body suffered a violent impact, and the RV shook.
The two women were startled by the sudden change and screamed.
Ranlin immediately brought up the outside image and saw a truck crashing into the front of the RV.
The two women finally came to their senses.
“What’s going on? How did this truck get here?”
Ranlin quickly brought up the Silver Dragonfly surveillance footage again, and the three women were instantly stunned.
“Zomโฆ zombies, how could there be zombies?!”
“This, this is impossible?”
Ranlin immediately scanned the scene one kilometer away through the Silver Dragonfly, her expression becoming increasingly grim.
She couldn’t understand why a large-scale zombie mutation would erupt in the crowd.
From the time this group of people entered the Ba Mountain road section to when they came out, it had been four or five days, long past the mutation period.
And along the way, they hadn’t seen a single zombie; it was all exotic beasts.
How could such a large-scale zombie outbreak happen?
But the facts were before her eyes, leaving no room for thought.
With a flash, she disappeared from her spot and appeared directly in Li Fan’s bedroom.
“Wake up, something’s happening!”
Li Fan, in his sleep, jolted awake and jumped out of bed, but his brain was still in a daze.
He shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked at Ranlin’s serious expression.
“What’s wrong? Haven’t we left Ba Mountain yet? Did we encounter another exotic beast?”
Ranlin shook her head and directly brought up the Silver Dragonfly’s projection, showing it to Li Fan.
Li Fan’s bewildered expression instantly turned grim.
“What’s going on? Why did it become like this, and you only just noticed?”
“They had a large-scale riot that lasted for several hours.
I don’t know what happened, but it just became like this!”
Seeing Ranlin’s slightly apologetic expression, he guessed that the three women might have been careless.
Li Fan didn’t pursue it further.
When a problem arises, the first priority is to calm down and find a solution, not to assign blame.
Li Fan put on his helmet, left the bedroom, and carefully observed the projection from the Silver Dragonfly.
In the image, the entire crowd had become a scene of zombies slaughtering humans.
People were no longer scrambling for the scattered food; it was impossible to distinguish between people and zombies, and they were fleeing in all directions.
However, it’s easy to gather, but it’s difficult to completely disperse.
“What’s the approximate ratio of those who have turned into zombies now?”
Because the scene was extremely chaotic and the light was poor, Li Fan couldn’t distinguish between people and zombies.
“There are more than 70,000 who have already turned into zombies, and more than 20,000 are dead on the ground.
There are more than 20,000 people still alive, but we don’t know how many have been bitten but haven’t mutated yet!”
Bringing up the map, he found that the RV had already left the Ba Mountain range, and the next highway entrance was only 4 kilometers away.
And the highway entrance was in the middle of the zombie outbreak.
“Back up one kilometer, let me think of a solution!”
Ranlin immediately started the RV and backed up.
Knock knock knock!
“Open the door, save us!”
Bringing up the external surveillance footage, she saw three women and two men beating on the car door.
