Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 52 Broadcast
Once the power was restored, the camera automatically turned on.

"What is this thing!" Qi Sixing pointed to the bottom frame of the surveillance video.

Song Jinhe clicked to open the camera. It was half-broken, probably blocked by bloodstains, and only a little bit could be seen through the gaps in the screen.

I just saw that thing flash by; it looked like a corner of a zombie's body.

"Wait a minute, if it's a zombie, then what about the size shown earlier? Is it pressed against the camera, or is it exceptionally large?" Zhuang Ting asked.

"Holy crap! Is it watching us through the camera? That's how it's always done in horror movies!" Qi Sixing felt a chill run down his spine. "Next, its face and eyes will appear in the video, staring at the people outside with a sinister look."

“Ghosts are a possibility, but you’re saying zombies can see us through cameras?” Zhuang Ting looked at him speechlessly.

This is too ridiculous.

Song Jinhe looked at the smudged camera and wished she could crawl inside and clean it.

She had a very bad feeling about what she just saw on screen.

Unfortunately, there was only one camera at that location, so it was impossible to glean anything from the footage of the other cameras.

The camera didn't see the object from before, but it did reveal the whereabouts of Brother Wang and his two companions, and they even found a smoke mask used for fire.

Jiang Shi'an reached out and pressed the alarm button.

at the same time.

Brother Wang hid inside the door, took off his mask, and looked at the liquid that had gotten on it while panting heavily.

"Fuck them, these guys are such good actors!"

Looking at the relatively tidy experimental table and specimen jars, as well as those bottles and jars with English letters written on them, Brother Wang felt a sense of unease.

I guessed that the kid was an employee of this company, and I took every precaution, but I never expected that they could get the handcuffs open.

He still hasn't figured out how he opened it.

Even someone skilled at picking locks needs some time, right? The handcuffs they used were taken from the police station, not some counterfeit or substandard product.

"That pair of scoundrels! They're really weird; they better not fall into my hands again."

The woman looked delicate and frail, needing someone to protect her to survive.

The man looked thin and not very capable.

Despite all our precautions, we still fell into their trap and were caught off guard.

The sudden appearance of so many zombies at that time inadvertently helped them.

"Could one of them have a talent for metalworking?" the younger brother speculated.

Brother Wang nodded, "That's possible."

"And that grandson of Cai Zheng, he said that woman was very weak. Could he be a spy, deliberately cooperating with her in this charade?" the underling added.

Brother Wang pondered for a moment, “They targeted our liaison officer first, which means they want to save those two people’s lives, so they definitely don’t want us to leave now.”

At this point, Brother Wang gave a sinister smirk.

"There are several fire exits in such a big place, how can they block them?"

Even if the counterattack fails, it's okay. As long as we get out and hold those two by the throats, the other side won't be able to do anything.

Judging by the time, the boss should be arriving soon. If they can't get in touch with them, they'll know something's happened to them.

"Let's go, clear out the remaining zombies outside first, then sneak down."

Just as Brother Wang was about to put on his mask, a piercing alarm blared down the corridor.

The sound was earth-shattering and deafening. The group of people were immediately stunned.

"Holy crap! What the hell is going on?!"

"Where is that noise coming from?! Wasn't there a power outage?!"

Brother Wang picked up the weapon and looked it over from left to right. He quickly realized, "Damn it! It must have been those guys who did this! The sound was coming from the corridor."

The voice just fell.

A cheerful song rang out, perfectly matching the even more lively steps of the zombies outside, creating the feeling of the 6th Square Dance Competition.

All three of them, including Brother Wang, were numb.

The revelry belongs to the zombies; they are the ones who want to dig up the other person's ancestors and curse them.

In fact, Song Jinhe and the others were also stunned by the song.

What is this thing? It's both tacky and trendy.

"Where did you change it? This song is a little scary. It makes me feel like a zombie in a tight suit is about to burst through the door, waving its arms." And it will tell her, "Hey bro."

Song Jinhe searched for the button by looking up, down, left, and right.

“Here,” Jiang Shi’an calmly gestured to her, right beside her.

The singing lasted for less than a minute.

Before Wang Ge and his two companions could even catch their breath, the stern voice of the loudspeaker, which had resounded throughout most of the park, rang out again.

[In recent days, widespread torrential rains continue globally, with winds reaching up to force 12 along the coast, causing sea levels to rise. The Yunzhou Cross-Sea Bridge has been urgently closed.]

[According to observations, coastal areas will experience winds of force 14 or higher after 19:40 PM tonight. Emergency evacuation measures have been activated, and rescue teams have entered the coastal areas of cities such as Yunzhou to evacuate residents. During the heavy rain, please try to avoid going out.]

This was a broadcast at the beginning of the apocalypse.

Now, hearing this suddenly evokes an indescribable feeling, as if I'm seeing a once-prosperous civilized world, and also as if I'm hearing a lament for that civilized era.

The passageway outside was already crammed with zombies.

"Damn it! Is this ever going to end? Stop releasing them!" one of Wang's men cursed. "These idiots are too cunning!"

But the radio wouldn't obey him.

Emergency rescue operations are underway at the subway station from Wutong Street to Xihe Bridge; the situation inside is still unclear.

Due to the impact of the storm, geological activity is frequent near Luozhou, and mudslides have occurred multiple times along Highway 510 in the mountainous area south of Wucheng. Yesterday, flash floods caused severe damage to Nanshan Village.

Last night at 10 PM, an incident occurred at the First Hospital of our city where a patient attacked a doctor.

[From 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM today, the number of new patients has reached a new high. The city's First, Third, and Fifth Hospitals are facing a severe shortage of medical staff and can no longer accept patients. Residents are urged to stay home for treatment and avoid going out! Stay away from neighbors and family members who show signs of mental illness.]

At 9 a.m. this morning, an attack occurred at the Wo-Wo supermarket. The disease control department has issued a new notice confirming that the disaster was caused by a mutated ancient virus.

Symptoms of infection include fever, weakness, difficulty breathing, confusion, and some infected individuals may also experience vomiting, internal bleeding, hallucinations, and other symptoms.

The infected person will die within 48 hours, and then revive within 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

It is reported that the global number of infections has exceeded 40%. This is the last report from this station; further updates will be broadcast by the official radio station of the temporary shelter.

One last reminder: stay away from infected people, keep your doors and windows closed, and don't go outside! Remember, the resurrected Zerg are not your family or friends.
Please take care, everyone. We believe humanity will overcome this challenge!

Overcome the crisis? Overcome my ass! They can't even leave the house now!
Wang and his companions were both angry and anxious, and were further agitated by the last broadcast of the civilized era.

Brother Wang instructed his two underlings, "Quickly, move that cabinet over here to block the way!"

The zombies outside are banging on the door!
I was actually thinking of writing about the hospital map before the apocalypse, maybe in a side story, so you can skip it if you don't want to read it then.
