"The EMP was our first step into the quicksand," said Liu Wei, looking at me intently. "But because the apocalypse didn't happen overnight, people just stood still."
Ah, it was so nice for someone to speak Li Dai Lu. I chucked. "Exactly. People still expected the government to come around and save them, they still expected everything to go back to normal quickly and easily, and that the grocery stores would miraculously have food in them again. So what was the point of stressing or preparing?"
