33. Chapter 33 Everything is in vain
Author: fried fermented bean curd
In the dim night, countless people were searching and rummaging in nearby houses, looking for anything to eat.
But the city is no better than the countryside. Before evacuating to the safe zone, the food in the house has long been packed up and brought into the safe zone. Moreover, the survivors in the safe zone will also come out to collect supplies. The amount of supplies left outside is less than one-tenth of that in the countryside.
.
Coupled with the impact of high temperatures, most food has spoiled, leaving very few supplies for migrants to find.
Several young people walked out of a supermarket chain empty-handed, cursing and swearing.
"Mad, there's nothing."
"Isn't this a provincial capital? Why are we so poor? We have no food at all."
"Let's go take a look ahead. It's impossible for such a big city to have no food at all. Let's look for more."
Several people walked forward quickly, but after taking only two steps, one of them suddenly stopped and asked doubtfully: "Did you hear anything?"
Everyone quickly stopped and listened carefully to what was going on around them.
"what sound?"
"No, there was no sound. Did you hear it wrong?"
It was quiet all around, and the person who spoke first couldn't help but look confused, "Did I really hear it wrong?"
"Don't be suspicious and leave quickly. Others will take away your things if you are late."
Several people walked forward quickly. As soon as they reached a shop, two men suddenly ran out of the shop in front of them in fear.
"Ahhhh..."
"Run quickly, there's something strange..."
Before he finished speaking, one of them was knocked down by a black shadow that came out of the house, and the other one was pierced through the chest by something, so that it happened so fast that people were caught off guard.
Several young people were stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran away.
The black shadow glanced at them, then dragged the two corpses into the shop and lay dormant again, as quiet as if nothing had happened. Only the two pools of blood on the ground silently proved the bloody incident just now.
At the same time, similar things were happening in other parts of the city, including vicious robberies and murders.
For a moment, the surroundings were extremely chaotic.
In the convention and exhibition center, the migrants who had not gone out were all silent when they heard the noise outside, and the soldiers at the door were also nervously on guard.
"Everyone close the windows, get together, and don't leave the convention center no matter what happens."
Hearing the soldier's serious tone, everyone immediately thought of the mutant creatures they had encountered before. Is there one here too?
Jiang Ran quietly walked to the door and looked at the situation outside. It was pitch black and there was nothing except the sound of gunshots.
Jiang Ran asked in a low voice: "Is it a mutated creature? Why didn't we encounter it when we came here before?"
The two soldiers paid careful attention to the situation outside, and one of them answered Jiang Ran's question.
"The mutated creatures near the safety zone have been driven away before, but too many people have moved here, attracting them back again."
Another soldier continued: "These mutated creatures are difficult to deal with. In order to clear a half-kilometer isolation safety belt around the safety zone, the military lost a lot of troops, but because of this relocation, all previous efforts were in vain.
"
Jiang Ran didn't expect that there was such a factor, and asked again: "So this is the reason why we are not allowed to enter the safe zone?"
"have no idea."
The two soldiers shook their heads together, and one of them explained: "The supplies are in the hands of the rich and powerful. They also have their own weapons, and there is great pressure from above."
