Chapter 299 Chaotic City
Issa is only nineteen years old and has not received much education. He usually does odd jobs, but he is different from other people in Taiz who spend more than half of their income on buying khat grass to chew and numb themselves every day.
Issa saved all his money except for the money he needed for daily living, and found a way to exchange it for US dollars.
He dreams of having his own shop and is working hard towards this goal.
While other people of his age spent money to buy leaves of that evil plant and chewed them continuously, falling to the side in drunkenness, Issa tried to take care of more work.
With his hard work, his savings officially exceeded one thousand US dollars.
As his deposits continued to increase and he got closer to his goal, Isa became more and more motivated.
Almost there, almost there!
As long as you have three thousand US dollars, you can start your own plan.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard that the Saihu armed forces had launched an attack, which filled him with worry.
Isa is also a believer, but only a shallow believer. Compared to his faith, he cares more about himself, his family, and his life. He does not want war.
However, Taiz is the third largest city and has no impact here for the time being. He can only work harder while also considering his future retreat.
I have some savings, so if the situation really becomes critical, I can take my mother and sister and escape from here.
Working while paying attention to the war outside became something he had to pay attention to every day.
But unfortunately, he was not able to find out the specific situation. All kinds of rumors were flying around, and he had no way of judging what was true.
It was not until most of the military and police in Taiz left to provide support that he realized that the battlefield might be becoming increasingly intense.
Moreover, with the departure of the armed forces, some unrest and violence began to occur inside Taiz. It seemed that people were becoming more and more violent, and gunshots could be heard from time to time.
Then he even lost his job, so he could only wait for news at home with his mother and sister, carrying the food he had prepared in advance.
I'll be around every day to see what's going on.
Until one day he learned from his neighbor that a madman appeared in the city and bit everyone he saw.
And the gunshots on the streets are becoming more and more frequent.
It was not until he saw with his own eyes a woman with a bloody face pounce on a man and bite him madly at the window that he realized that the threat posed by the madman in the city might be even more serious than the battlefield outside!
We can’t stay in Taiz any longer!
Picking up a homemade spear for self-defense, carrying a scimitar, carrying the remaining food on his back, and rolling up his savings and hiding them in the most secure part of his body, Issa took his mother and sister out and prepared to go to Aden.
Issa's mother was a traditional Yemeni Arab woman. Because the family was poor, she took care of all the housework. She was also very strong and followed Issa with a rolling pin. Although his sister was only twelve years old, she also followed beside him with a small bag on her back and a pair of scissors in her hand.
When they came out, they found that many neighbors had the same idea, so they all decided to set off together.
When we got to the street, the number of crazy people was increasing!
The madman himself is not scary and his movement is not very fast, but the key point is that Isa discovered that the man who he saw being bitten with his own eyes seemed to have suddenly gone crazy and started to attack other people!
"Devils! These are all devils! Don't let them bite you!"
The neighbor's voice brought panic, and the panic brought about chaos. Then the people who had gathered together quickly dispersed, and they could only run away as they were chased by the crazy people behind them.
As soon as you get rid of one batch, you’ll encounter a new batch. It seems like they’re everywhere in the city!
You can encounter it from any direction and it will appear no matter which direction you go.
I have dodged one group after another, and I don’t know when it will end.
After the tired mother hit a madman's head with a rolling pin, she was finally bitten by the one next to her.
"You guys go quickly, Issa, take good care of your sister, I'll stop them."
The mother who was bitten showed a miserable smile on her face, and then she kept hitting the head of the madman who bit her with a rolling pin. She also took the initiative to block the madman coming from behind, using her not-so-big body to block the madman behind her like a madman.
Even though he was thrown to the ground, he reached out and grabbed one of the ankles.
The constant struggle tripped up one madman after another.
Isa wanted to go back, but he knew that going back now would be a waste of life and he would just disappoint his mother's expectations.
So he could only pull his bewildered sister and rush forward with tears in his eyes.
There can't be crazy people everywhere. There will always be a place, there will always be some...
The sound of gunfire came from the front. He didn't know what was over there, nor did he know whether the other party would kill innocent people indiscriminately, but this was the only place to go at this time.
Pulling my sister around the corner of the street, all I saw were corpses on the ground and the gun-wielding figures in front of me who were wearing ceramic combat uniforms and pig-head masks.
As soon as the two appeared, someone raised his gun. The boy kept waving the spear in his hand and kept shouting.
"We are human! We are human!"
However, the group of fully armed men with guns showed no intention of putting down their guns, and after a moment, flames spewed out from the muzzles of their guns.
Da da da~
The sound was harsh and seemed to slow down as it appeared in Isa's ears. He could only helplessly hold his sister and turn his back to the direction of the shooting.
I felt the bullets passing by and the Grim Reaper swinging his scythe around me.
But he soon found that he was not shot. After opening his eyes, he saw the dense crowd of crazy people chasing him in front of him falling down one after another like wheat being cut!
The bullet penetrated the body and brought up a lot of blood plasma, which splattered all over the ground!
The sound of the bullet piercing through flesh and blood is so creepy.
One madman after another fell down, unable to break through the fire blockade at all.
Modern weapons are like a meat grinder, pinning all the pursuing lunatics to the ground!
It didn't cause any waves.
The young man was completely confused when he saw this scene.
The madman who had no way to pursue him was as fragile as a baby in front of this group of people...
In the live camera footage, one could also see Umbrella's volley of fire, which bypassed the surviving siblings and wiped out the 'zombies' behind them.
That kind of visual impact and shock suddenly made people feel that compared to these zombies, the people from Umbrella were much more terrifying!
The gunfire stopped, and there were no more infected bodies that could move. They were piled up in the corner, looking extremely tragic.
"Check the wounds on both of them, and then let them join the survivors."
Cheng Xue waved her hand casually, and two members immediately stepped forward quickly.
The inspection was not exhaustive, it was just observing the clothes and checking the hands, feet and other places that are prone to bites. If there was no problem, they would signal them to go to the group of 20 to 30 survivors nearby.
These were collected along the way.
At this time, the photography team also began to film the survivors, and the commentator gave some explanations.
"Our main purpose is to investigate, but we can also gather any survivors we meet along the way. They will all be witnesses. Of course, some people may wonder if we are afraid that there are unreported infected people among them?"
At this point, the commentator paused, then the black pig-head mask helmet came towards the camera, staring at the audience in the camera and said
"It doesn't matter if we conceal the truth. To put it bluntly, how can these things bite through our protective suits and gloves? They just look scary..."
If it were at the beginning, some people might still question it.
But the speed of clearing the scene before, and the completely crushing destructive power, undoubtedly indicate that this group of gun-wielding figures wearing pig-head masks, ceramic bulletproof vests, and anti-cut gloves are fully armed.
A hundred times scarier than zombies...
