Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child
Chapter 72 The Apocalyptic Brat 13
This remark was echoed by most people.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they pleaded, they are still stuck inside the building and can't get out.
Old Wei was optimistic; he simply leaned against the corner of the wall and comforted everyone, saying:
"Those people outside are just showing off for a while. They caused such a big case, even taking lives. They're definitely going to be dealt with by the higher-ups."
Don't worry, it's only a matter of time before we get out."
No one refuted this statement, since who would normally think about the end of the world?
Only one or two old women grumbled resentfully, muttering that the Shao family had gotten off easy, since everyone had gone outside instead of suffering at home.
Little did they know, Shao's father and the others who were being targeted were also going through a very difficult time.
After all, after a full set of memory restoration techniques, they revealed everything.
Especially Shao's father, who wasn't exactly a tough guy to begin with, blurted out everything on the spot: when he cheated on his wife, when he pulled off his own father's oxygen mask, and how he was bitten to death by a zombie in his past life.
By the time everyone was locked up in a room, looking disheveled, the tendons in their hands had long missed the optimal time for repair, and they would have to rely on the children to feed them from then on.
"Luckily our legs are okay, otherwise we wouldn't even have anywhere to run."
Shao's father, covered in dust and dirt, leaned back in his chair, head drooping and sighing.
"Shao Chenghao, what do you think they plan to do with us?"
When asked what was wrong, Shao's mother pushed her husband aside with a hint of disgust. Seeing him clutching his thigh and groaning in pain, she simply got up and sat next to her best friend.
Seeing this, Wang Hao glared angrily at his stepmother, but was nudged by his father with his elbow. He then composed himself, sat on the edge of the bed, and kept tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Shao's father saw all of this, a slight smile playing on his lips, but pretended not to know anything.
"That little brat Shao Linshen, although he's a complete scoundrel, you have to admit that his superpower is indeed very strong. Just because of that, the higher-ups won't harm us."
After all, they are that kid's parents. The organization definitely needs someone like him, and with that connection, there will always be some preferential treatment, right?
Shao's mother calmed down, nodded in agreement, and suggested:
"That brat has nowhere else to run but his grandma's house in town. Should we tell those people outside to hurry up and catch him in Da'an Town?"
"Then why would I need you..."
Before Shao's father could finish speaking, someone came in and said that the road in town had collapsed and it would take several days to clear. This was precisely the time when time was most needed, and the organization was preparing to take a helicopter to the town to pick them up. They needed someone they knew to guide them.
"Pick me, I'm the child's father/mother!"
Shao's parents were vying to go out, but before they could reach a conclusion, someone came over to inform them that the operation was suspended.
“We discovered that something was wrong in the town, and the higher-ups felt that the plan needed to be revised.”
This world is going to be in chaos.
Some people with a keen sense of smell had already begun to mobilize, and with the country's repeated major actions, the news of the impending doom could no longer be concealed, leading to frequent crimes in various places.
While preserving the "spark," the organization also had to "put out fires" everywhere, so you can imagine how tense the personnel were.
Left with no other option, the authorities could only allow local authorities to exercise flexibility and release some apocalyptic information as appropriate.
Shao's father and the others were extremely disappointed upon hearing this. They thought things had taken a turn for the better, but unexpectedly, this happened again.
To make matters worse, that same afternoon, Mr. Shao received a text message from the old lady saying that she had taken the children on a trip and was not in town.
Once this news came out, there was no longer any need for Shao's father and the others to "keep watch" over them, and they were politely sent away.
Even though Shao's father and the others wanted to stay, they were ignored. Helpless, the group could only slink back to the empty villa...
Just when everyone thought that the end of the world was only one day away.
At 11:30 p.m. that night, torrential rain began to fall simultaneously all over the world without any warning.
The rain was torrential, and the temperature began to drop rapidly. What should have been the height of summer weather plummeted to minus twenty degrees Celsius within half an hour.
Some people who had not taken adequate preventative measures died in their sleep.
However, some stubborn internet celebrities who are eager to become famous have started live streaming online, dressed like bears, holding umbrellas, and ready to go out and explore.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out the door, a wave of rain poured down on him, turning him into a string of scarlet "candied hawthorns".
The scene was both horrifying and bloody, startling many onlookers who threw their devices away. When they picked up their electronic devices again, they discovered that the signal had been completely cut off...
Just when one problem seemed to be subsiding, another arose.
First, it rained and cooled down all over the world. Then, one or two mountains or rivers suddenly appeared around some cities or mountainous areas, instantly changing the original topography.
Before people could even process the devastating news, many fell ill during this period, with some even exhibiting zombification symptoms, causing widespread panic.
***
H City, inside a rented room.
Shao Linshen had no time to care about others at this moment.
He fell ill.
I thought that by strengthening my cultivation and tempering my body with spiritual energy, I could slow down the transformation process. I never expected that this genetic mutation was irreversible.
The only difference is that, compared to those humans who failed to evolve and became zombies, this new human with superpowers is more adapted to the progress of the times.
Fortunately, he didn't lose consciousness this time. Even though his body was so hot that you could fry an egg on his forehead, he was still able to ask his grandma for food.
The old lady knew the child was in pain and was extremely anxious, but seeing that her eldest grandson could still eat, she managed to calm down.
"Ping Ping Pong Pong——"
Several loud noises and the sound of people walking could be heard from time to time in the stairwell outside.
Because of two consecutive days of rain, the water in the community has risen to the second floor, and the residents on the first and second floors have no choice but to run to the upper floors.
The Shao family, grandfather and grandson, rented a room on the fifth floor, so they weren't worried about the water level rising too quickly and affecting them. However, there were one or two other families living in the corridor outside.
These people have to borrow everything from the residents on the same floor, including food, drink, and toileting. It's fine for a short time, but the problem is that conflicts might arise over time.
There were only the two of them, an old woman and her grandchild, who were no match for those people. The old woman would rather they call her stingy and keep banging on the door to bother them than open the door and make a sound.
This situation continued for three days. As more and more people gathered outside, even though Grandma Shao was unwilling to open the door, some busybodies bullied the weak and feared the strong, choosing to jeer and bang on the door of the Shao family's house.
"Bang bang bang-"
The iron gate was slammed shut with a loud clang, and bits of metal were falling off the edge of the door frame.
"Open the door, you old hag, I know you're in there."
A burly man was shouting in a rough voice outside the door, kicking the door hard a few times to vent his anger.
The others in the corridor also gathered around, crowding at the entrance of the Shao family's house, chattering incessantly.
Hearing this, the man felt even more justified. He flexed his chest muscles and began banging on the door while shouting:
"Old woman, open the door now! So many people are trapped in the corridor, why are you hiding inside without saying a word? How can you be so heartless? It's not like we're not going to pay you, what's wrong with selling us some food?"
"Fine, you won't listen to reason and you insist on using force, huh? I'll count to three, and if you don't open the door, don't blame us for breaking it down."
