"Dad!!"
Zhao Yi pushed open the door of the breakfast shop and called out anxiously.
A figure hurriedly ran out of the house, saw Zhao Yi at the door, and finally let out a sigh of relief...
"You! Where did you go?!" Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, grabbed his ear, and spoke fiercely, "I was just about to tell you not to go out these two days, but when I opened my eyes, you were gone... If you had come back a little later, I would have asked Chen Yifei to look for you!"
"Easy, easy... Dad, I think I've done something heroic!"
"...?"
Seeing the puzzled look in Zhao Shu's eyes, Zhao Yi quickly recounted his recent experience. After listening, Zhao Shu silently let go of his ear and began to walk around the room, as if looking for something.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Zhao Shu picked up the broom and fiercely swung it towards Zhao Yi's buttocks, creating a whistling sound through the air.
As Zhao Yi screamed in pain, Zhao Shu's scolding followed, "I should have broken your legs earlier! Running into the lair of the disaster and thinking it's heroic?! I wonder how many heads you have to lose! I told you not to run around! I told you not to run around!!"
Zhao Shu was really angry this time, and each swing of the broom was harder than the last. Just when Zhao Yi was fleeing around the room, he seemed to hear something and grabbed the handle of the broom with his other hand.
Zhao Shu's eyes widened, and he was about to say something when Zhao Yi solemnly made a gesture for "silence" and looked outside the door.
In the silent thick fog, figures holding kerosene lamps hurriedly ran past one after another.
"Disaster! The disaster is coming!!!"
"Help... Help! Can someone help me!!"
"I don't want to die yet!!"
"..."
Maybe it was because the breakfast shop was still lit, a figure suddenly stopped and frantically pounded on the shop door!
"Open the door!! Open the door quickly!!!" It was a man's voice, anxious with a hint of intimidation, "I'm telling you to open the door quickly!! Can't you hear me?!"
Zhao Shu and Zhao Yi exchanged a glance, with vigilance in their eyes. Just then, the man said another sentence:
"I'm a law enforcer! Open the door quickly!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu's face changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he still stepped forward and unlocked the shop door.
Clang——
The shop door was suddenly pulled open, and a figure wearing a black and red uniform rushed in from outside. He was so fast that he directly knocked Zhao Shu, who was behind the door, over and fell heavily to the ground.
"Dad!" Zhao Yi rushed forward, shielding Zhao Shu who was groaning on the ground, and angrily looked at the man, "Who are you?!"
"I'm Guo Nan, a law enforcer! Shut up if you don't want to die!!"
The man instantly drew a knife from his waist, pointed it at Zhao Yi, and spoke fiercely.
If Chen Yifei were here, he would recognize this person at a glance. It was the law enforcer he stabbed several times in the marketplace, known as "Guo Ge". He was also the person responsible for the Hanshue Street next to Hanshuang Street... At this moment, Guo Nan's face was covered in blood and dirt, looking extremely wretched.
Guo Nan's hand holding the knife was even trembling.
What he had experienced just now was too terrifying... He had witnessed a shadow centipede breaking into a household on Hanshue Street and tearing everyone inside into pieces. He was really scared. He had been a law enforcer for so many years, but it was the first time he had truly seen a "disaster".
The bloody scene and the centipede's waving myriad legs directly shattered his courage. Instead of choosing to fight directly, he turned and ran... Those few shadow centipedes had consecutively slaughtered households, and the surrounding residents were all terrified. As they heard the sounds of fighting and screaming getting closer, some chose to flee. And as the first person started to run, others, seeing this, were also driven by fear to run together.
Just like that, Hanshue Street was completely chaotic... During the escape in the thick fog, Guo Nan only knew that many figures were chasing him in the fog. He didn't dare to stop and frantically fled forward without turning back until he saw this place...
Hanshuang Street was still quiet, as if it had never been invaded by disaster.
Guo Nan's chest heaved violently. While holding the knife to intimidate Zhao Yi, he turned back to observe the outside through the window, with vigilance and fear in his eyes.
If he hides here, he should be able to avoid those things?
Guo Nan thought to himself.
But unfortunately... he had chosen the wrong location and the wrong person to threaten.
"You dare to hurt my dad?!" Zhao Yi's eyes were red. He picked up the broom on the ground and hesitated for a moment before charging towards the knife without hesitation!
Guo Nan didn't expect an ordinary person to dare to attack him while he was holding a knife. Caught off guard, he only stabbed Zhao Yi once and was then hit on the temple by the swooping broom, seeing stars.
The next moment, Zhao Yi hugged him and crashed into the door, rolling onto Hanshuang Street.
"Help... Help!! They're coming!!!"
More and more residents of Hanshue Street screamed and rushed into Hanshuang Street. Countless feet trampled on the two of them. Guo Nan grunted in pain and struggled to get up... At the same time, Zhao Yi, who was opposite him, also got up covered in blood, with a pair of eyes staring at him fixedly.
Screams, cries of distress, the tearing and crawling sounds from deep within the fog, completely broke the silence of Hanshuang Street, and everything was plunged into chaos and disorder!
This was a riot for survival, and the same scene had already unfolded in most of the neighborhoods in District Three.
Bang——!!
Just then, a gunshot sounded from the front of the crowd!
In the thick fog, a figure wearing a black windbreaker walked out with a stern face. He held a gun, and his eyes looking at these completely panicked people were serious.
"Everyone stay where you are! Whoever moves, I'll kill them!" Chen Yifei pointed the gun at the crowd and said in an unquestionable tone.
The crowd subconsciously stopped their footsteps. Seeing Chen Yifei's appearance as a law enforcer, hope finally emerged on their terrified faces!
"It's a law enforcer!"
"Save us... The monsters are chasing us!!"
Consecutive voices sounded from the crowd. Some of them wanted to hide behind Chen Yifei, but were scared back into place by another gunshot...
"I said, whoever moves, I'll kill them." Chen Yifei's cold voice sounded again.
"Rustle... Rustle rustle..." Xi Renjie's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Chen Yifei, how's the situation there?"
Chen Yifei's gaze fell on the ground, among the intertwined shadows of the many residents of Hanshue Street, the outlines of several eerie and massive centipedes had already mixed in...
Chen Yifei was silent for a long time before speaking in a raspy voice:
"It's not good."
