Chapter 033 The quagmire effect

After returning to the living room, Lang Hua directly destroyed the door lock.

He pushed the closet and blocked it behind the door, and then came to the kitchen with his backpack.

It didn't matter when he was highly focused before. Now when he is free, Lang Hua feels as uncomfortable as burning in his throat, and there is constant cramping in his stomach.

Lang Hua hurriedly turned on the faucet, put his mouth up and swallowed. Then he sat by the pool, took out the biscuits in his backpack, and started chewing regardless of appearance.

After careful calculation, he had been running for more than 20 hours continuously. Even during the time when Lang Hua was on the motorcycle, he still needed to maintain the necessary concentration. And his last meal could be traced back to the disaster.

The two simple energy bars I swallowed the night before.

If the sellers of energy bars knew that their products could sustain a person for such a long time, they might jump for joy.

The premise is...if they are still alive.

But unfortunately, common brands of civilian camping energy bars like this can maintain satiety for up to 8 hours, which is already the limit.

Fighting hunger and staying full are not the same thing.

Lang Hua once again left the faucet and threw himself and his backpack on the sofa. After that, he never wanted to move a finger again.

Unlike a century ago, most of today's water plants and power plants are monitored by computer networks. Plant equipment does not require many people to supervise, but only needs to maintain daily maintenance and monitoring.

However, with the continuous development of the apocalypse, infrastructure has been destroyed and has been in a state of no one repairing it for a long time. It is only a matter of time before power and water are cut off.

High-rise residential buildings rely entirely on electricity. The water supply system uses water pumps to pressurize domestic water and deliver it to residents' homes. Once there is a problem with the power grid, it will be the first to suffer.

In the early days of the apocalypse, cities had water and food, which ensured the survival of many people, but also caused more people to lose the best opportunity to escape from the city, leading to their final deaths.

Later, previous scholars called it the "quagmire effect."

Those who are hanging on for breath cannot escape suffocation in the end, but those who strive bravely often have a glimmer of hope.

"Good and bad, superior and inferior, are not as simple as they appear on the surface. They cannot be seen clearly... Sooner or later they will all perish."

Lang Hua thought casually and fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, in a corner shop on Phoenix Entertainment Street, District 3, Shashi.

"Damn it," a teenager screamed, "Yang Xiaoxiao, why do you have a gun?"

He looked like a middle school student, with a section of his forearm exposed under his white shirt and a black skull tattoo on it.

"Chen Long, there are still many things you don't know."

Yang Xiaoxiao, who was standing opposite, had a look of disdain on her face. Her chestnut brown hair was tied up high, showing a pretty and delicate baby face. The horn-button coat highlighted the slim figure of the Western-style uniform.

The figure covers everything.

Corresponding to her snow-white skin color, is a pistol tightly held in Xiu's hand.

The gun body was black and shiny, reflecting a cold metallic luster under the messy colored lights.

After a brief fright, Chen Long tried to calm down: "Impossible. Who knew Yang Xiaoxiao that you weren't trying to scare me with a fake gun?"

The younger brother Sanzi beside him also hurriedly joined in: "That's right. He actually wanted to fool Brother Long, and he even dared to show his BB gun."

"That's right, maybe it's a water gun. You bitch..."

This is Chen Long's other younger brother, who looks more immature and is usually called Xiaoliu by Chen Long.

With a "bang" sound, the high-carbon steel ball grazed the boy's scalp and shot over.

Behind him, a glass window shattered, and a hole the size of a bowl was punched out by the powerful kinetic energy of the steel ball.

Xiaoliu was speechless for a moment, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at him contemptuously: "If you open your dirty mouth again, your eyes will explode next!"

Those big eyes that usually gave off a feeling of gentleness like water, now revealed a hint of coldness.

Under the thin bangs, the willow eyebrows are curved and long, which also adds to her aura.

"What now?" Yang Xiaoxiao stared at Chen Long and said jokingly.

"Okay, Yang Xiaoxiao, you can." Chen Long said angrily, but knew that there was no point in continuing the stalemate, "Let's go."

Kicking Xiao Liu next to him, Chen Long led the people away from here.

Yang Xiaoxiao did have the confidence not to take these middle school students seriously.

The air gun in her hand was prepared by Lang Hua earlier. Although it is only a pocket-sized model, it is filled with real powerful gas "fluorochlorofluorane". The high pressure of the gas reaches an astonishing 30 MPa, which can cause injury and disability when fired at close range.

The possibility is extremely high.

After a few breaths, Yang Xiaoxiao looked into the distance from the window on the second floor.

The figures of the people leaving cannot be faked, it should be considered safe now.

Staring at the blurry figures in the distance, Yang Xiaoxiao turned her head and spat fiercely on the ground: "Bah, you didn't plant anything!"

Only then did another figure sneak out from behind the curtain - it turned out to be Xing Lili.

If the girl is not compared with Yang Xiaoxiao, her eyebrows can be considered handsome.

The navy bow tie is embellished in front of the sports shirt, adding a youthful and cute atmosphere to her.

Xing Lili asked hesitantly and tremblingly, seeming to be frightened by the scene just now: "Xiaoxiao, why do you have a gun?"

Yang Xiaoxiao did not answer, but frowned and said: "Lily, you must have seen Chen Long's face look so bad. Are you sure you still want to follow him?"

"Brother Long... Brother Long said he would protect me..." Xing Lili felt timid, "Why don't I go with you Xiaoxiao?"

Sorry, I'll beg them, maybe you can stay..."

Yang Xiaoxiao immediately rolled his eyes and said: "Are you kidding? I, Yang Xiaoxiao, will bow to such a person? Come with me, I know a place with sufficient weapons and food. Do you still remember the plan I told you?

?”

"But Chen Long is a boy after all... and there are more than just them here." She seemed to think of something terrible, "If we leave here, there are so many monsters outside, but we two girls... will die!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiao frowned even deeper.

"Who said that? We have this."

Yang Xiaoxiao casually raised the right hand holding the gun and shook it in Xing Lili's direction.

However, Xing Lili immediately jumped away from her original position, trying to keep a safe distance from the muzzle of the gun.

This made Yang Xiaoxiao even curl up the corner of his mouth.

She pulled Xing Lili to her side, looked her in the eyes and said, "Lily, what's wrong with you? You were not like this before."

Xing Lili shook her head desperately: "No, no no! Xiaoxiao, you don't understand, how can we compare now with the original? Didn't you also see it that day? Xiaomei was torn to pieces by those monsters and eaten by those monsters!

"

Yang Xiaoxiao hurriedly comforted her: "It will be fine. As long as we are careful and go out to find my brother..."

But the girl suddenly shook off Yang Xiaoxiao's hand.

She yelled: "No, how can it be okay? No matter how powerful your brother is, he is just an ordinary person. How can he fight against a man-eating monster? Maybe... maybe he is already dead!"

Yang Xiaoxiao held her shoulders firmly and her tone became anxious: "Lily, how can you say that? My brother...my brother won't..."

"Then why didn't he contact you? Why didn't he come to you? If nothing happened to him..."

Xing Lili suddenly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean that... I... I just think it's safe here. I can't leave here, I can't, I can't..."

These words had a stronger impact on Yang Xiaoxiao than Xing Lili could imagine.

Yes, the possibility just mentioned is not impossible.

Man is not God, man cannot defeat heaven.

As long as you are still human, you may have already...

Yang Xiaoxiao was stunned on the spot and didn't know what to do, watching Xing Lili break away from her hand and run away.

She knew that the tragedy that happened on the night of the disaster had greatly stimulated Lily.

But she didn't expect that the stimulation would be so intense.

One of their companions, Xiaomei, was torn to pieces and eaten alive in front of their eyes. The two of them failed to save her and could not save her. The only thing they could do at that time was to run for their lives and run along the gap between the corpses.
