C5 The Crisis Has Begun

After reading the news, Zhou Heng put down his phone and rubbed his temples. His expression became more serious.

No matter what, he had to make the best use of his time to upgrade his shelter.

With the things he currently had, he wouldn't be able to last much longer in the global disaster.

Zhou Heng returned to the basement and opened the system. Suddenly, he found that he had gained 50 upgrade points.

Zhou Heng looked at the details of the upgrade points and found that these 50 upgrade points were the reward for killing Chen Yongnian and the others.

Seeing this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel happy.

Although these 50 upgrade points were not much, they were still useful.

Zhou Heng used these 50 upgrade points to exchange for a Desert Eagle and some bullets.

With two guns, he could protect himself in this situation.

The next day.

Zhou Heng carried his gun and went out to look for survival supplies as usual.

The streets were in a mess.

There were bloodstains on the ground, windows, walls, and wires.

Without a doubt, a huge dispute had occurred here just now, and some people had even died.

However, Zhou Heng no longer had the energy to think about these things.

"What's going on? Why didn't you sell the things in the supermarket to us?"

"You clearly still have supplies, why didn't you sell them to us?"

"Open the door, or else we will attack!"

At this moment, Zhou Heng heard a fierce quarrel coming from the entrance of the supermarket not far away.

Zhou Heng followed the voice and walked over. He saw a group of people shouting at the entrance of the convenience store.

Some of them even picked up the bricks on the ground and smashed them at the door of the supermarket.

In the face of life, people no longer cared about anything.

"It seems like I can't go to the supermarket anymore."

Among the crowd, Zhou Heng saw a few familiar faces. He was worried that his appearance would make him their target.

Just as Zhou Heng was about to go back, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

Zhou Heng subconsciously gripped the Desert Eagle in his hand tightly, his expression tense.

Zhou Heng turned around. When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The person who patted his shoulder was the salesperson of the supermarket, Chen Yuhua.

"Sister Zhang, you scared me to death."

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Why didn't you stay in the supermarket but outside?"

Chen Yuhua sighed and said, "I was fired from the supermarket a long time ago. I originally planned to use my identity as a salesperson to buy more things, but the boss didn't give me such a chance."

Zhou Heng asked, "Then what do you plan to do now?"

Chen Yuhua said worriedly, "I have discussed with my family. We are preparing to go to the refuge provided by the government. The current situation is too dangerous."

In the past few days, Chen Yuhua had seen people fighting for food on the street more than once.

"Actually, I think it's safest for you to stay at home."

Zhou Heng said slowly, "The more dangerous the place is, the safer it is."

Chen Yuhua waved her hand and said, "I don't have a good life at home. If I go to the refuge, everyone will take care of each other."

Zhou Heng saw that Chen Yuhua had made up her mind, so he didn't say anything else.

"Don't worry about me. You should worry about yourself more," Chen Yuhua said softly, "Your family has stored so much water and food, so everyone has their eyes on you."

"I know."

Zhou Heng nodded.

Chen Yuhua forced a smile and said, "I hope we can get through this crisis this time."

"Of course."

Zhou Heng and Chen Yuhua left after chatting for a while.

Zhou Heng returned home and saw that the satellite TV was broadcasting the news of the U.S.

The news was about telling the world not to panic. The experts said that this was just a rare natural disaster.

Not only that, the U.S. was also calling for everyone to live a normal life!

"How stupid."

Zhou Heng glanced at the TV and turned it off.

At this point, the countries in the West were still trying to fool everyone.

It was just that these so-called upper class people thought that they didn't have enough resources and wanted to squeeze out the ordinary people.

Zhou Heng sneered and went to the basement.

He found that his parents weren't idling around. They were busy.

His father had brought a lot of bricks from the outside. He wanted to continue to reinforce the defenses of the basement and set up traps outside the house.

Although it was simple and crude, the effect was not bad, especially at night.

As for his mother, she had planted some vegetables in the basement, such as leeks and chives.

The originally deserted basement suddenly became lively because of his parents' labor.

"How is the situation outside?"

When Zhou Guoqiang saw Zhou Heng return, he put down the things in his hands and asked anxiously.

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Not optimistic. It's very chaotic outside."

"If this goes on, how can we live?"

Fann Qinghua said worriedly, "This is too scary."

Zhou Guoqiang smoked a cigarette and sighed, "Can our family survive?"

"Don't worry. With me here, it's fine."

The corner of Zhou Heng's mouth revealed a confident smile.

"Indeed. We have this basement. The supplies inside are enough to support us for one or two months," Zhou Guoqiang said relaxedly, "Within one or two months, this matter will probably pass."

Zhou Heng smiled bitterly.

This was a global disaster.

How could it be so easy to pass?

At night.

Zhou Heng and his family were having dinner upstairs.

Suddenly.

The sound of an explosion came from outside the house.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Guoqiang stood up and subconsciously wanted to go out and take a look.

"Go to the basement!"

Zhou Heng grabbed Zhou Guoqiang's shoulder and dragged him to the basement.

"I'll go get the food."

"Don't take it!"

Zhou Heng roared with red eyes, "If you delay any longer, our entire family will be finished!"

"Go!"

Zhou Heng didn't have time to think too much. He picked up his parents from the ground and ran to his shelter.

"From now on, stay here and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"

Zhou Heng said angrily to Zhou Guoqiang and Fann Qinghua.
