18. Chapter 18 You go, we stay

Author: fried fermented bean curd

The two people screamed in pain and ran away in a hurry to extinguish the flames on their bodies. As a result, the flames burned more and more intensely, and the two people soon became silent.

The people around were frightened. They had never seen such a scene before.

Jiang Ran's voice sounded again, as cold as a demon in the abyss, "Can you be quiet now?"

The surroundings finally calmed down, and some of the thoughts that were about to stir were suppressed by Jiang Ran's strong intimidation.

The next day, the atmosphere became heavier and heavier. People nearby who knew Jiang Ran did not dare to look at her, let alone talk to her.

People in the parking lot also heard about what happened last night, but they didn't know who Jiang Ran was. They were just more cautious, for fear of offending the killer named Jiang Ran.

It's rare to find silence in the underground parking lot, but the world outside is getting increasingly chaotic.

Of the ten people who went out to look for supplies, less than half came back, and everyone became increasingly panicked and panicked.

Yu Xiaowan and his wife also became increasingly nervous. Guan Song stopped going out to look for supplies and stayed by his wife's side.

Two days later.

At dawn, there was a deafening sound of trumpets in the street outside. Jiang Ran ran out quickly, and Yu Xiaowan and his wife followed suit.

A green military vehicle drove slowly from a distance, and a soldier with a bullhorn shouted:

"Dear residents and friends, extremely dangerous mutant creatures have appeared outside the city, and the army is working hard to fight against them."

"For everyone's safety, please follow the police in the city to evacuate today and tomorrow and go to the provincial capital, where there are more powerful armed forces to protect everyone."

"Please evacuate quickly, don't waste time, take food and important things to the provincial capital, and try to travel as lightly as possible."



The loudspeaker kept repeating the message.

When the military vehicle passed by, Jiang Ran suddenly asked: "What about you? When will you evacuate?"

The soldiers in the car were stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "We are not retreating, we want to buy time for you, leave quickly, this city is going to fall."

The car slowly left, but Jiang Ran was stunned on the spot.

Yu Xiaowan and his wife were also stunned. Their throats were tight for some reason, and they could only watch the green military vehicle leave.

It wasn't until the car disappeared at the end of the street that Jiang Ran sighed. She really wanted to say, you should retreat too, some people are not worth your efforts.

But she is also a beneficiary and has no right to dictate to them.

Yu Xiaowan asked: "Sister Jiang, do we want to evacuate?"

Jiang Ran replied: "Withdraw, we can't let their sacrifice be in vain."

The three of them returned to the underground parking lot as quickly as possible, only to find a group of young adults taking advantage of the chaos to rob others of their only food. There were also people surrounding their car, leaning on the car window to see if there was any food inside.

Seeing the three people coming back, the group trotted away quickly.

"Mad, I'm going to kill these bastards today."

As soon as he learned that the troops were preparing to fight to the death to fight for a glimmer of life for the people, when he turned around and saw these bastards, Guan Song couldn't help but get angry. Their deaths were not worth it.

Yu Xiaowan hurriedly hugged him and advised in a gentle voice: "Honey, calm down, it's not a pity for these bastards to die, but we have to escape. The longer we delay, the more we will be sorry to the soldiers."

"Let's go."

Jiang Ran also tightened his fists, but the situation was already very chaotic. If they took action again, it would affect the evacuation speed.

Guan Song said sternly: "Made, don't let me see you again, or I will definitely kill you."

Jiang Ran also cast a murderous look, and several young people shivered with fear. It wasn't until Jiang Ran and the others drove away that they yelled loudly and regained their composure verbally.

Coming out of the underground parking lot, there were already many people on the street.

They carried bulging backpacks and headed for the provincial capital under the guidance of armed police. Many of them had their families with them, and the elderly and children seriously slowed down their progress.

People with cars sped past on the highway and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Please evacuate as soon as possible. The faster you evacuate, the more time and opportunity you can have for the troops to evacuate."

The armed police shouted with loudspeakers on the roadside, but many people turned a deaf ear.

Some people were quarreling on the street; children were unwilling to walk and clamored for their parents to carry them on their backs and hugs; and the hobbling old man was moving forward slowly with the support of young people.

Suddenly, there was crying from ahead.

"Grandma, come with us."

The girl cried and begged the old man beside her, but the old man shook his head, held his granddaughter's hand and said kindly with a smile: "Grandma is old and can't walk anymore. Going to the provincial capital will drag you down, so you can go."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Mom, you are not a burden to us."

The old man seemed to have poor eyesight. He searched for it, took the hands of his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and warned: "This is my home. I have lived here all my life and don't want to leave. You still have a lot of time, so go quickly."

Come on, don’t make things difficult for the police.”

"Grandma, we are not leaving, we are staying with you."

"nonsense."

The old man suddenly became angry and said, "You have to go. There are so many officers and soldiers behind you who have sacrificed their lives for you. Go quickly, don't force me to die in front of you."

"mom."

"grandmother."

The three of them were very reluctant to leave, and even the strong pillar of the family cried.

The old man sat down on the spot and waved his hands to the three of them, "Let's go, I'll watch you go, don't make me regret it."

The man knelt down with his wife and daughter, kowtowed to the old man three times, and cried: "Mom, we are leaving, please take care of yourself."

The old man smiled and said: "Let's go."

The man dragged his wife and daughter away. He did not dare to look back, fearing that he would not be able to help but stay. But his daughter was still young and she still had a bright life and future.

Seeing this, more elderly people choose to stay, not to burden their children, and leave all the materials and space they need for survival to them.

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from the south of the city, like a landslide and the ground cracking, making people feel fear in their hearts.

Everyone speeded up the evacuation. The old people waved goodbye to their relatives and sat silently on the street waiting for death. Listening to the increasingly violent explosions, the old people were calm and had no fear of death because their children were still alive.

Came down.

Jiang Ran watched all this calmly. There was still room in her car, but she did not dare to let strangers get on the bus.

In the apocalypse, human nature is on the verge of collapse. How does she know that the other party will not take the opportunity to stab her while she is driving or sleeping.

Once in the car, she must be responsible for their safety.

But the next journey was extremely dangerous. She couldn't even protect herself, so how could she protect others? She didn't have so many supplies to share with others.

In order to protect himself, Jiang Ran must be ruthless, a cold person, a cold stone.

Yu Xiaowan and his wife made the same choice as Jiang Ran. They must not show kindness at this time, otherwise they will be surrounded by people seeking survival.

Don’t worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
