Bang! Bang! As countless flying insects swarmed in, more glass shattered and fell from the row of windows. The buzzing sound was getting closer and closer.
The second floor was in a state of panic. No matter what attitude they had before, everyone rushed down the stairs. Huang Fade was still a little dizzy, but he felt a fly touch his face. He could not help but run down as well, almost falling.
"Let's go, open the warehouse door!"
The warehouse was located at the back of the first floor. The space inside could barely fit the people in the supermarket.
The chaos on the second floor had just spread to the first floor, and the people on the first floor were fighting to be the first to rush into the warehouse. Even though Doctor Liu Qi wanted to maintain order, no one paid attention to her. It would have been more efficient to retreat into the warehouse in an orderly manner, but everyone was afraid of being left behind. The family that had just entered the supermarket was also squeezing.
However, none of them were as fast as the flying insects. Only a few people had squeezed into the warehouse, and all kinds of insects had spread from the second floor to the first floor.
"Close the door, close the door!" The few people who had rushed into the warehouse saw that the people outside had fallen into the sea of insects, and that the flying insects had arrived. They immediately shouted.
However, this door was held tightly by the people outside, not letting them close.
"Don't block it!"
"Let me in!"
They squeezed together, as if the warehouse was a piece of pure land. As long as they passed through the warehouse door, they would be safe, and they would be able to survive.
In the blink of an eye, some of the flying insects had also rushed into the warehouse.
Doctor Liu Qi, Huang Fade, a few people, including the supermarket owner, were all stunned. They looked at the chaos, looked at the surging crowd, looked at the warehouse that had fallen into the hands of the insects. There was no such thing as a safe place in this supermarket.
Their exposed skin kept coming into contact with the insects. Some people were frozen on the spot, some were wailing in pain, and there was another roar of thunder outside.
Huang Fade fell to the floor, thinking about his wife, his children, his parents. He did not know how they were now, and how he was going to end …
However, at this moment, after the thunder, there was another faint sound in the midst of the flying insects. It was a broadcast that made their faces change again. "Dear citizens, please pay attention, we are Phecda personnel, and we will be evacuating you. Please continue to wait indoors. We will not leave anyone behind. "
"Phecda!" The supermarket was filled with cheers. Many people were ecstatic. "Quick, open the door!"
The supermarket owner moved faster than anyone else. There was no point in closing the shutter anymore. He hurried to the wall next to the door and pressed the switch. The shutter slowly rose again, and the insects and frogs piled up outside the door surged in, making the environment even worse.
But the people already had hope. They opened their eyes wide and looked at the road outside, hoping that the rescuers would appear in the rain of blood.
They were afraid that they had misheard and were hallucinating …
However, the broadcast was still going on. Not long after, a convoy of vehicles arrived on the road. There were tanks, armored vehicles, ambulances, buses … as well as cranes, heavy-duty forklifts, and other construction vehicles. They moved the cars that were blocking the road to the side so that the convoy could pass on the broken road.
Many of the vehicles had the Phecda logo printed on them.
"Phecda is here, he's here, he's really here!"
The supermarket was filled with cheers. On both sides of the street, cries for help came from the houses and shops.
The Phecda characters that they knew from the advertisements appeared in the people's minds. Gu Jun, especially Gu Jun.
"Here, there are people here!" The supermarket owner waved at the convoy. "We're here!"
But there were still people who did not shake off the despair. They groaned, "It's useless, it's all over …" The insects were indeed still there.
At that moment, some vehicles stopped. The Phecda members who stepped out were all wearing airtight protective gear. Some were armed with guns while others carried a large crystal boulder about half the height of a human. Carved into the boulder was the shape of a tree branch.
The people placed the stone at different spots on the street. Their palms pressed on what appeared to be a trigger and the stone glowed brightly.
Peng peng, as if there was an invisible killing net, all the flying insects and strange frogs on the street suddenly died in an instant, falling to the ground like raindrops.
"Ah, I knew Phecda has a superpower!" Some of the young people cheered. Everyone's confidence was boosted and they continued to call for the Phecda members.
At the same time, a team of 6 armed Phecda members approached the small supermarket.
"Dear citizens, we will be activating the 'Ancient Seal' to expel the dark energy. Please stay where you are. If you feel pain, that's normal. Ancient Seal! "
The leader of the team shouted. The whole team of 6 suddenly used their hands to draw some kind of 'Ancient Seal' in the air. A different kind of light glowed from their fingertips and the tree branch patterns shot into the supermarket. Bzzt! The insects and frogs inside the supermarket collapsed to the ground in droves.
Huang Fade's group was surprised but at the same time, they felt refreshed. It was as if they could finally breathe in fresh air after being trapped in a low oxygen environment.
With that, the crowd cheered even louder. They watched as the team advanced step by step. They watched as they temporarily eradicated all the insects inside the supermarket.
"Quick, save my child!" A woman screamed, "She's drenched in the blood rain."
"Be careful, there's a strange humanoid creature here." A young man warned, "It's the style of ancient humans and they're armed with stone weapons …"
"The injured who were drenched in the blood rain are all in the warehouse at the back." Doctor Liu Qi said. Her heart that had been holding up for so long slowly calmed down. "Then everyone was exposed to these insects …" She trailed off. The few hours since the disaster, especially the last 10 minutes, had been like hell.
"These people, they tried to kill us!" Someone accused the supermarket owner and the few muscular men.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'kill us' …" The man with the buzz cut cursed anxiously. "We didn't, we blocked the door, we were trying to save everyone …"
"Everyone, please listen to me." The leader of the team said. His voice was still young. "My name is Chen Jiahwa, I'm responsible for the combat at this street. The entire Qingan region was being evacuated. Other matters could be discussed later. Leaving this place was the top priority. You will be separated into three groups. The first group has been drenched in the blood rain, the second group has been exposed to the insects and the third group has neither been exposed to the blood rain nor been exposed. You belong to the first two groups, so you will be taken care of. "
The supermarket quieted down, but at the same time, it was filled with the restlessness of the people who could not wait to leave.
This was the method of evacuation that Chen Jiahwa had mentioned. The public announcement outside said the same thing. There was a bus parked on the street outside.
Immediately, the combat team left the supermarket and went somewhere else. Another person in charge of the evacuation came in and gave everyone in the supermarket a set of simple protective clothing to wear. Then, they were separated one by one to avoid the blood rain and board the bus.
Huang Fade, Doctor Liu Qi, and the supermarket owner were the second group of people. They boarded one of the buses.
The supermarket owner sat by the window, looking out. His small supermarket was a mess. The shutter door was wide open. It was like a dream.
Most of the people around him were silent. Only two or three people were whispering to each other.
The moment the bus started to move, everyone on the bus shuddered from the bumpy road. There were children crying.
The supermarket owner's emotions were a mess. Memories of the past flashed before his eyes. Suddenly, he could not help but cry.
