Chapter 2566 Madness

10 am

Outside the farmland near the gods' base, many people are queuing up. Each person can harvest a crop and then take away the food after processing it themselves.

Many people have been hungry for many days because there are more and more people around here. Although the gods still open the base every day and distribute some food, the amount of food is far from enough for everyone.

Everyone is living a difficult life now. Many people have heard about the tentacles ahead, and some people have seen with their own eyes how people are swallowed up. The last hope is the news sent by the gods a few months ago. Will find a way to solve it.

Many people are worried about the problems on the front line. What will happen if those tentacles cross the defense line? Several forces have been organized nearby to take charge of defense, and some people have begun to build fortifications.

At this time, at the gate of the gods' base, many people were squeezing forward, eager to get a piece of food. Ye Chunwang looked worriedly at the endless crowd. Many of them had reached the limit of their patience.

Hawke scolded from the side, asking everyone to line up properly, and anyone who jumped in line would not be given.

This needs to be repeated countless times every day. It used to be somewhat useful, but now it is basically useless.

Some people still forcibly cut in line, or even started fighting directly. Hawke wanted to stop him, but Ye Chunwang soon stopped him and shook his head.

"Don't go there. Everyone's nerves are tense now. Maybe we will be injured too."

The gods are now gathered in the laboratory and are conducting an extremely important research. They have already said that they will close the door of the base immediately if they find something is wrong.

The current situation has become extremely serious. Many people can no longer hold on. After Ye Chunwang distributed a piece of food, the person who got the food was knocked down by several people who came out of the team just after taking a few steps. On the ground, he snatched the food from his hand. For a while, many people were jealous and stared at the people in front of him.

The situation will worsen. At this time, accompanied by chaos, some people rushed over. Just as Ye Chunwang wanted to pick up the food, Hawke grabbed him by the collar and threw him back. Hawke shouted immediately.

"Everyone go back to base."

All the children who helped distribute the food turned around. Ye Chunwang was startled. The person in front took out a knife. A group of people entered the base, and the food left behind became the target of everyone's competition.

As the base door slowly closed, everyone looked scared, Ye Chunwang said.

"Thank you."

Just now, Ye Chunwang wanted to give the food to those who caused the fight, but Hawke held him back. Now Ye Chunwang understood that everyone was going crazy because of hunger.

Ye Chunwang looked at the ground, his hands were still shaking, and Hawke said helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do, at least for now."

Ye Chunwang said yes. At this time, the surveillance camera on the side showed that there was a mess outside. Many people were fighting with each other. Food had been spilled on the floor. Some people were crazily stuffing food into their mouths.

People have died, and the chaos is still going on. There are dozens of kilograms of food outside, but many people will die for such a small amount of food.

Some children returned to the base. Only Ye Chunwang and Hawke were watching. Hawke clenched his fists. He knew very well that this kind of thing was inevitable and they could not change anything.

They were lucky enough to be brought to the base by the gods and had enough food and clothing, but the people outside were different. They had to endure hunger and cold every day for a month or two, and now it has been half a year.

Although the crops are harvested every day, they are occupied by several gangs. They will allocate part of it and keep most of it for themselves. Although many people are dissatisfied, they can only choose to compromise in the end.

"Do you think this will happen again in the future?"

Ye Chunwang asked, Hawke laughed and shook his head.

"I don't know, but once you don't have enough to eat, no one will be in a good mood."

Ye Chunwang clenched his fists and said.

"I will farm well. As long as I can learn something, I will definitely plant a large area of ​​food so that everyone can eat enough."

Hawke laughed and shook his head.

"I will still learn to fight from Master Jean. After all, only with strength can you get everything."

Ye Chunwang smiled, but his smile soon solidified. The chaos in front of the base ended, leaving dozens of corpses behind. People coming up from behind were still beating on the door of the base. Ye Chunwang wanted to get up, but Hawke stopped him.

"That's it for today, no posts because they caused chaos."

Hawke then told people outside directly through the loudspeaker that distribution was terminated today due to chaos.

Many people started crying, and Hawke turned off the surveillance screen, pulled Ye Chunwang up and left. Ye Chunwang watched in shock as someone was carrying the dead body, and for a moment he realized something.

"We still are."

Hawke shook his head.

"Haven't you seen it? I've seen it many times."

Ye Chunwang sighed. He had indeed seen it. During his homeless childhood, he always saw people who had died soon being taken away.

The cause of all these problems is human beings themselves. Many people chose silence and tolerance, allowing some greedy people to continue to squeeze everything. In the end, these greedy people led many people to launch a war.

"Why so stupid?"

Ye Chunwang asked, and Hawke laughed.

"Of course it's because we are human."

Time passed by minute by minute. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, behind a strong light belt on the front line, many people looked at the empty food boxes with sad faces. Many of them had not eaten a full meal for four or five days, and could only ask people in the nearby defense line for a little water and some biscuits.

But this little food was not enough for hundreds of them. They had expressed dissatisfaction many times, but because of the failure of the farmland equipment in the town that guaranteed their food, the food would come later.

It was almost five days late, and many people had reached their limit. The commander of this defense line was the same. Although he could continue to endure, he knew that there was no way to continue to endure.

If this continued, everyone would collapse. The tentacles in front were still stirring in the dark and could attack at any time. Once the lights went out, they had to react quickly.

The commander arranged some people who were in good spirits at the front and asked them to be ready at any time. At this moment, a high-intensity light went out, sparks flew, and accompanied by the sound of electricity, the high-intensity lights went out one by one.

At once, everyone stood up and saw that the high-intensity lights went out. They hurriedly started to take new lights over, but when the technicians checked, they found that the wires had burned out and had to be replaced with new ones.

The commander immediately made adjustments. Some people holding lighting lamps rushed to the front of the extinguished high-intensity lights with their lights, and looked at the black and red tentacles swimming on the ground, and adjusted the brightness of the lighting equipment in their hands.

The black and red tentacles shrank back under the light, and a group of people began to repair them.

This situation would happen every few days, and everyone was hanging on their hearts every time, because if it couldn't be repaired, it would be over.

Finally, half an hour later, the high-intensity lights came on, and technicians were sent to help from the defense lines on both sides nearby. Many people begged them to lend them some food, but obviously no one was willing.

The commander also knew that he had personally negotiated with them several times, hoping that they would borrow a day's rations, but the people on both sides said that it was very difficult for them to do so because their food was almost exhausted.

Now, let alone food, there was not enough drinking water, and there was always a pungent smell in the drinking water, but everyone could only drink it, even if they would feel uncomfortable after drinking it, but they could only endure it.

Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, there was a loud bang, and a strong light exploded, and in an instant, accompanied by continuous electric sparks, the strong light on this line of defense for more than 100 meters went out.

In an instant, the suffocating fear filled everyone's heart, and many people stood up frantically. The commander shouted, asking everyone to pick up the lighting equipment.

The ground was shaking slightly, and everyone screamed in fear for a while. The lights had just come on, and the black and red tentacles on the opposite side were less than five meters away from them. People on the nearby defense line also found it, and some people rushed over with lighting equipment.

Whoosh

Accompanied by a sound, a group of black and red tentacles suddenly rushed to the base. Several people who were unable to react were directly caught and dragged down. They were annihilated by the black and red tentacles before they even had time to scream. Not even bones could be seen.

The lights came on and everyone soon found the cause. A technician made a mistake. In the chaos, he connected the wires incorrectly, resulting in excessive voltage and the circuit equipment on the entire line of defense directly malfunctioned.

The technicians from other lines of defense who received the news rushed over with things and began to repair them. Hundreds of people held strong light equipment and illuminated the black and red tentacles, making it impossible for them to get close.

"What on earth are you doing? Such a simple line problem is wrong?"

Some people began to blame the technician. He sat on the ground helplessly and was glared at by many people. He did not refute because he had not eaten much for four days. Hunger had made his mind stagnate.

However, many people obviously did not intend to miss this opportunity to vent. They kept blaming the technician. He looked at these people blankly. Although some people tried to dissuade him, many people still cursed without restraint.

The technician struggled to get up. He just smiled and said nothing. He was going to go back to rest, but he was stopped by several people. They were people from other lines of defense. They continued to accuse him.

At this moment, the technician laughed and roared wildly. Everyone was shocked for a moment. He said coldly.

"Let's die together."

While speaking, someone saw the technician suddenly jump onto the truck. The key on the truck was still there. The commander realized something and shouted immediately.

"What are you doing?"

The mutants at the scene also reacted and were about to stop him, but the truck had already stepped on the accelerator and rushed over. With terrible screams, the technicians who were just cursing and repairing the high-intensity light strips were run over by the truck.

The technician laughed wildly and drove the truck recklessly. Someone fired a gun, but he didn't care about anything. He kept rolling over the light strip repeatedly until the entire waiting was seriously damaged and the technician fell in a pool of blood.

The commander shouted.

"You bunch of idiots, who hasn't had a hard time living here during this period? You are the only ones who have worked hard, aren't we? We haven't eaten for four days. We asked you to lend us some food, but you refused to do so."

Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. Some people simply sat on the ground and stopped running. A large number of people ran away screaming in fear. The commander ran away directly. He was a mutant.

The screams of fear sounded, and the black and red tentacles surged over the defense line in an instant and spread around.

The commander looked at the people running behind him with great pain. However, when they just got off the defense line and came to the road, a truck carrying food slowly drove over not far away.

"Too late, you are too late."

The commander shouted. The people who were delivering food didn't know what was going on, but when they saw a large number of people climbing onto the trucks to ask them to turn around, they also realized that something was wrong.

The entire defense line began to have problems with threading, the light strips began to go out continuously, and the black and red tentacles spread from the gap to the surroundings at a very fast speed.

More and more people have discovered the problem, and many people now have only one thought, to run to the back.

"Don't panic, everyone pick up the strong light equipment, we must hold on"

A defense commander just finished speaking, and suddenly fell into silence, because in front of him, a large group of black and red tentacles have rolled up many people, and they were directly swallowed up.

"It's over, everything is over."

The black and red tentacles spread rapidly over a large area in the mountains and forests, and gradually the bright light strips on the front line began to go out.

Many people didn't even have time to react before the lights went out, and then they were entangled by the tentacles, unable to make any sound, and even died without feeling any pain.

4:39 p.m.

A fierce knock on the door sounded, and Tuke was awakened. He had been working for several days in a row. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his son Avano running in panic.

"It's bad, father, the front line has been lost."

Tuke said, pressing his forehead.

"It's over, start the backup plan immediately."

Avano nodded and left the room. Tuke knew that everything might have ended early. They had installed strong lights near the town. As long as the defense line was lost, the only thing they could do was to defend the town.

"The final moment is coming."
