Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 76 The Rabble

When disaster strikes, death and despair are rampant, every high-rise building in the city becomes a small human settlement. When they found that the outside world became more and more cruel, people were even more reluctant to leave the building where they were hiding. Even if there was no food or drink in the building, they did not have the courage to go out.

In just one day, the original status relationship in society was instantly broken, and crowd differentiation appeared in each building. Powerful people began to control the originally few materials, and the rest of the ordinary people could only survive and beg everywhere.

As an intruder, Zhou Qingfeng is powerless to change this kind of interpersonal relationship in a building. Although he was short of subordinates, the fact that the crowds fled from the clubhouse before gave him a wake-up call. The subordinates without cohesion would be useless at all, and would only waste food.

Therefore, Zhou Qingfeng could only ruthlessly refuse Jenny Braun's request. Because when Jenny Braun begged him, the whole corridor was watching. As long as he saves one, the remaining dozens and hundreds of people will rush forward. At that time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to even escape.

"I can't save you, and I don't want to know you. Get away! If you get close to me, I will kill you. Don't think I dare not do anything, I won't have any sympathy." Zhou Qingfeng said viciously, he even picked He took off his mask, revealing his true face.

Wow... it's Victor Hugo. That murderer! The guy who killed the NYPD chief in public.

Thanks to the media reports in recent days, Zhou Qingfeng's face has been well known to many people. Dozens of people in the corridor were still waiting to see if Jenny Braun could get some help, but now they found that they were facing an out-and-out thug, and immediately died down and said nothing.

Facing Zhou Qingfeng's vicious attitude, Jenny's hands and feet were also frightened. The name 'Victor Hugo' is a recent news hotspot, and she is a journalist who doesn't know her for no reason. She even wrote a special comment, and now she has actually met a real person.

Seeing that he had calmed down the scene, Zhou Qingfeng walked away again. He didn't want any drag now, and it was true that he quickly got rid of the gangsters occupying this building.

The people who know the situation in the building the most now are undoubtedly the security guards who hold a small amount of materials. Probably out of the simplest self-preservation mentality, the gang occupied several solid rooms, never came out to die, and similarly refused to help anyone.

"Hey, the security guard inside is listening. Come out and talk to me. I want to know something." Zhou Qingfeng came to the outside of the house occupied by the security guard and used the cover of the corner to shout inside.

The security guard inside looked extremely irritable and shouted: "We don't share, get out of here immediately."

Zhou Qingfeng immediately swept the shuttle through the window, and after the bang bang bang, he said again: "Listen, you idiots. My name is Victor Hugo, send someone out to talk to me right away. , or I will set you on fire, and I will do what I say."

What the building was afraid of was fire. Zhou Qingfeng reported his name and said that he was going to set fire to it, but it really scared the security inside.

"Wait, don't shoot, we can come out alone." The security guards shouted, and then a quarrel could be heard coming from inside, as if they were embarrassed about who went out to meet Zhou Qingfeng.

After a long time, an older black security guard with gray hair came out. He raised his hand, looked at Zhou Qingfeng and said, "Okay, I'll come out. My name is Mobutu, what do you need to ask?"

"Tell me, how many gangsters are upstairs?"

"Maybe twenty or thirty, maybe forty or fifty, we don't know. They broke in and killed a lot of us. Then they started scavenging for food and water, occupying more than ten floors." Mobutu said.

"Occupy more than ten floors? They are not afraid that you will set fire downstairs and directly burn them to death?" Zhou Qingfeng felt that direct arson is the most effective way to deal with this kind of building.

"The fire extinguishing system in the building is self-contained and not ineffective. Unless you get a lot of gasoline and set it on fire, even if you burn a few rooms, you can't burn the whole building." Mobutu said: "There are still a lot of people upstairs. The large number of hostages held by the bandits, if set on fire, the hostages will also die.

And the gangsters will come down to patrol every two hours, and they are also worried that we are making trouble underneath. In order to appease the people in the building, they also promised to distribute a small amount of food and water every day, and now the people in the building are waiting. "

"This is not a smoke bomb thrown by the bandits, lest we start a riot, but maybe this is an opportunity." A weak voice came from behind Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng turned his head and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to follow me?"

Jenny Braun appeared a few meters away in horror, and she said with a sad face: "Mr. Hugo, please. You must have come here to get rid of those gangsters, no matter what your reasons are, I can do it. Help you. I can be the bait for your sneak attack."

Mobutu heard this and said, "If you want to do anything, I'm willing to participate. I used to be a soldier, and I don't want to make a living by looting other innocents."

Mobutu is tall and strong, with thick joints and looks quite burly and powerful, and should be considered a combat force. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng felt that the manpower was a little short, and asked again: "Can I call more people? I believe that your food will not be a lot, and you won't be able to last long if you don't work hard."

Mobutu walked into the security guard's room again to convey Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, and soon a fierce quarrel broke out inside. However, hearing that Zhou Qingfeng meant to attack the gangsters, there were still several hungry and thirsty men in the corridor standing up.

A few minutes later, Zhou Qingfeng temporarily recruited more than 20 people, including seven security guards with guns and a dozen civilians without weapons. These people were forced by the current situation and had to stand up and fight for their own lives.

With the famously fierce Zhou Qingfeng taking the lead, the morale of this temporary team was good. The group climbed the stairs in a mess and went up from the fifth floor. There was a lot of momentum along the way. There were hundreds of people behind them as they walked.

Looking at these rabble, Zhou Qingfeng didn't give them the slightest hope. When a fight really broke out, at least half of them would turn around and flee.

Since the elevator has been blocked, the fire stairs have become the only way to go up and down. Mobutu, who used to be a soldier, tried to organize the more than 100 people he brought, but the place called Chacha was like a vegetable market, and he had no discipline at all.

In this case, trying to ambush those gangsters is simply a dream. Zhou Qingfeng simply arranged for someone to block the fire escape from the ninth floor to the eighth floor, and then set up roadblocks in the corridor on the ninth floor.

"Everyone, we are all on the ninth floor now, and the road to the eighth floor has been blocked. None of you can escape. Only by killing those gangsters can you live. Otherwise, you will all die." Zhou Qingfeng said this. Said, the rabble crowd of more than 100 numbers named Chacha immediately quieted down.

Most of the people who followed Zhou Qingfeng were speculators, and now that their retreat was cut off, these people immediately expressed that they could not accept it. Someone shouted: "Why don't you let us escape? What if we fail?"

"If you fail, you will die!"
