章 25: Attacked the Wrong Person, a Miraculous Survival Rate!
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the way to the city, although the road conditions were not ideal, there were broken-down vehicles everywhere, and many roads were almost blocked by cars.
Fortunately, Zhao Feng had anticipated this. From the beginning, he did not choose the fast road into the city but chose the road below, so the journey was relatively smooth.
What made Zhao Feng feel a little puzzled was not this, but because the convoy had not encountered many survivor gathering places along the way.
The total number of survivors might not even exceed a hundred people!
According to Zhao Feng's estimation, before he set off, even if he had not entered the city, the number of survivors he could have met along the way should easily exceed 1000.
"This is strange. Where did all these people go?"
"Don't tell me that these people still have the ability to migrate after the apocalypse? Or is it that there are very few people left in this area before the apocalypse?"
Zhao Feng could not understand this situation. He was not a God, just an ordinary person who had been reborn.
The system did not give Zhao Feng the ability to predict the future.
Manager Cui guessed after thinking for a moment.
"Maybe there were some unexpected changes in the city after the apocalypse. The number of people in the development zone is normal, so the only place these people could have gone to is the urban area!"
After getting along for nearly a month, and with his excellent ability, Manager Cui had become Zhao Feng's right-hand man.
Moreover, most of the people in the development zone were familiar with Manager Cui. If Manager Cui were to lead some work, it would make these things very smooth.
Zhao Feng also brought Manager Cui with him on this trip to the city.
"Yes, you're right."
"Tell the car in front to speed up. We shouldn't stay too long outside the city. Once we enter, all the answers might be revealed!"
The convoy increased its speed and bypassed the crowded road. They soon arrived at the city center.
The scene here could only be described as a disaster.
Although only a few tall buildings had collapsed, most of the buildings were in ruins.
Almost no piece of glass was intact, and the ground was covered in crystals formed by the melted glass.
Many high-rise buildings had clearly been set on fire during the apocalypse. The entire building was now black, and there were burn marks everywhere.
As for the road condition in the city, it was naturally worse than outside.
If the convoy wanted to enter the city, they often had to make a few detours to avoid the completely blocked roads.
Just as the convoy passed through a street and was about to turn into another street to head to the city center, the screeching sound of the brakes hurt people's eardrums, and many people's heads even hit the car.
Zhao Feng asked, holding his forehead. "What's going on? Why did you suddenly brake? What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and Zhao Feng suddenly quivered. He had a bad feeling.
"Director Zhao, we've been ambushed. Someone has set up a roadblock to stop us here."
"And they have guns in their hands. The other party has already opened fire. Please allow us to launch a counterattack!"
What?
The survivors of New York City had weapons?
They even set up a roadblock to block the city center and even took the initiative to shoot.
How could Zhao Feng tolerate such a thing? It seemed that the toughness of the city center's survivors had exceeded his expectations.
"Permission to return fire! However, everyone's safety is our top priority."
"Understood, Director Zhao!"
The two groups of people quickly separated and began to fire at each other.
However, because both sides clearly cherished their lives very much, there were only very small injuries on both sides, but no one died.
At this moment, the other party suddenly fired a signal bullet and stopped firing.
Naturally, Zhao Feng immediately ordered his men to stop firing and see what the other party was up to.
Soon, one of the team members saw a drone flying over with a walkie-talkie.
"Who are you? This is New York City. Identify yourselves. Otherwise, please return the way you came from. You are prohibited from entering the city!"
A man's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Zhao Feng didn't answer these questions but asked a question in return.
"I'm a citizen of New York, and I'm just going home. Who are you? What right do you have to set up a roadblock and attack us?"
The other party was silent for a moment. He probably didn't expect that someone would still have the intention to go home at this time.
"We're from New York's security bureau. If you're not enemies, please put away your weapons. It might have been a misunderstanding."
After fighting for so long, both sides had people injured, and in the end, it was a mistake?
Zhao Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It seemed that the apocalypse had caused everyone to be a little nervous.
The roadblock was removed. After Zhao Feng checked the other party's identity with the drone, he finally ordered the convoy to continue moving forward and meet the people from the security bureau.
"Hello, I'm the current deputy director of the security bureau, Leon. This is a special period. Please forgive me if I offended you just now."
Leon sincerely extended his hand to apologize. Zhao Feng naturally wouldn't slap a smiling person.
The appearance of the security bureau gave Zhao Feng a pleasant surprise. This meant that New York City was still operating normally after the apocalypse.
As many of his memories of his previous life's apocalypse had become blurry, Zhao Feng did not remember the deputy director of the security bureau.
"What's the situation in the city? How many survivors do you have?"
"I remember that the evacuation time should only be an hour, right? There was enough time?"
In the face of Zhao Feng's doubts, Deputy Director Leon began to tell him about the situation in the city since the beginning of the apocalypse.
Only then did Zhao Feng know that after the disaster warning, although it was already too late, the local authorities had immediately organized an evacuation.
In the last few hours, nearly half of the population was moved to underground air defense projects in various parts of the city. In the center of the city, there was actually a large-scale disaster shelter that looked like an underground shopping mall on the outside which accommodated a population of nearly a million.
Moreover, since the outside world had begun to recover ten days ago, the government had begun rescue operations in the entire city and re-established the social order before the disaster.
After learning this information, Zhao Feng was shocked at the government's swift actions.
Moreover, this was a little different from the memories of his previous life. After some thought, Zhao Feng felt that his rebirth had caused a butterfly effect. Perhaps in other cities, everything was still going according to the course of history.
However, it was the best news that Zhao Feng had heard since the apocalypse that there were still millions of survivors in New York City!
With people, there was hope.
