"Old Man!!"
Zhao Yi pushed open the main door of the breakfast shop and yelled anxiously.
A figure hurriedly ran out from the inner room. Seeing Zhao Yi at the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief...
"You brat! Where did you run off to?!" Uncle Zhao gritted his teeth, grabbed his ear and spoke fiercely, "I was just about to tell you not to go out these two days, and the moment I opened my eyes, even your shadow was gone... If you had come back a little later, I would have begged Chen Ling to go look for you!"
"Lighter, lighter, lighter... Old man, I think I've made a great contribution!"
"...?"
Seeing Uncle Zhao's puzzled look, Zhao Yi hastily recounted his experience just now. After the latter heard it, he silently let go of his ear and lowered his head to start pacing around the room, as if looking for something.
"Old man, what are you doing?"
Uncle Zhao picked up a broom and whipped it viciously at Zhao Yi's buttocks, fanning out gusts of whistling wind.
Uncle Zhao was truly furious this time, each whip more vicious than the last. Just as Zhao Yi was fleeing all over the room, as if hearing something, he backhanded to firmly grab the broom handle.
Uncle Zhao widened his eyes and was just about to say something, when Zhao Yi solemnly made a "hush" gesture, his gaze looking outside the door.
In the silent Dense Fog, figures carrying Kerosene Lamps ran past in a hurry, one after another.
"Calamity! Calamity is coming!!!"
"Help... Help! Who can save me!!"
"I don't want to die yet!!"
"..."
Perhaps because this breakfast shop still had its lights on, a figure abruptly stopped and frantically pounded on the shop door!
"Open the door!! Quickly open the door for me!!!" That was a man's voice, laced with a hint of intimidation amidst his anxiety. "I fucking told you to open the door quickly!! Can't you hear me?!"
Uncle Zhao and Zhao Yi exchanged a glance, both their eyes full of vigilance. Right at this moment, that person added another sentence:
"I am a Law Enforcer! Open the door quickly!!"
Hearing this sentence, Uncle Zhao's expression changed somewhat. After hesitating for a moment, he still stepped forward and unlocked the shop door.
Clatter—
The shop door was pulled open all at once. A figure wearing a Black and Red Uniform rushed in from the outside. His speed was so fast that he directly knocked over Uncle Zhao behind the door, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
"Old Man!" Zhao Yi rushed forward, protected Uncle Zhao who was groaning on the ground, and looked angrily at that person. "Who are you?!"
"I am Enforcer Guo Nan! If you don't want to die, shut the hell up for me!!"
That person instantly drew a knife from his waist, pointed it at Zhao Yi, and spoke viciously.
If Chen Ling were here, he could tell at a glance that the person before him was precisely that Enforcer called "Brother Guo" whom he had stabbed several times in the vegetable market, and also the person in charge of Snow Street, the street next to Frost Street... At this moment, Guo Nan's face was covered in blood and dirt, looking extremely wretched.
The hand Guo Nan used to hold the knife was even trembling.
Everything he had experienced just now was truly too horrifying... He had seen with his own eyes a Shadow Centipede smash open the door of a household on Snow Street and tear everyone inside to pieces. He was truly terrified. He had been an Enforcer for so many years, but this was his first time truly seeing a "Calamity".
That bloody scene and the centipede waving its ten thousand legs had directly crushed the courage in his heart. He didn't choose to fight head-on, but instead turned and ran... Those few Shadow Centipedes slaughtered households one after another. The surrounding residents were all frightened to the point of collapse. Hearing the sounds of slaughter and wailing getting closer and closer to them, some also chose to flee. And as the first person started to run, others who saw it were also driven by fear to run together.
Just like that, Snow Street was completely thrown into chaos... During the escape in the Dense Fog, Guo Nan only knew there were many figures chasing him in the fog. He didn't dare to stay, fleeing madly forward without looking back, until he saw this place...
Frost Street was still quiet, as if it had never been invaded by Calamities.
Guo Nan's chest heaved violently. While holding the knife to intimidate Zhao Yi, he turned his head to observe the outside world through the window, his eyes full of vigilance and lingering fear.
Hiding here, he should be able to avoid those things?
Guo Nan thought to himself.
But regrettably... he chose the wrong address, and also the wrong target to threaten.
"You dare to hurt my Old Man?!" Zhao Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed the broom from the ground and rushed towards that knife without hesitation!
Guo Nan also hadn't expected that an Ordinary Person would actually dare to attack him when he was holding a knife. Caught off guard, he only managed to stab Zhao Yi once, and then the broom was swung whistling into his temple, making him see stars.
The next moment, Zhao Yi hugged him and directly knocked down the main door, rolling onto Frost Street.
"Help... Help!! They are coming!!!"
More and more Snow Street residents screamed and rushed into Frost Street. Countless pairs of feet trampled on the two of them. Guo Nan groaned a few times in pain and struggled to get up... At the same time, Zhao Yi opposite him also got up covered in blood, a pair of eyes staring fixedly at him.
Screams, wails, tearing and crawling sounds from deep within the Dense Fog completely shattered the silence of Frost Street, sweeping everything into chaotic disorder!
This was a riot for survival, and similar scenes were already playing out in the vast majority of district blocks in District Three.
Bang——!!
Just at this moment, a gunshot rang out from in front of the crowd!
In the Dense Fog, a figure wearing a black windbreaker walked out with a dark expression. Holding a gun, his eyes looking at this completely panicked crowd were full of seriousness.
"Everyone, stand where you are! Whoever moves, I will kill them!" Chen Ling pointed the muzzle of his gun at this group of people and said in an unquestionable tone.
The crowd subconsciously stopped their steps. Seeing Chen Ling's Enforcer attire, hope finally surfaced on their terrified faces!
"It's an Enforcer!"
"Save us... the monsters are about to catch up!!"
Successive voices rang out from the crowd. Some wanted to hide behind Chen Ling, but were frightened back to their original spots by another gunshot...
"I said, whoever moves, I will kill them." Chen Ling's cold voice rang out again.
"Static... static..." Xi Renjie's voice came from the Walkie-talkie. "Chen Ling, how is the situation on your side?"
Chen Ling's gaze fell on the ground. Among the intersecting shadows of the numerous residents from Snow Street, the eerie and massive outlines of several centipedes had already blended in...
Chen Ling was silent for a long time, then spoke hoarsely:
"Not very good."
