Before the end, I owned an amazing caravan

Chapter 36
……

It's just that Zhao Xi didn't expect that in the end, many people in the hotel didn't starve to death, nor were they drowned in the flood... but died in the riots, in the fighting and killing between Xianggu.

After twelve o'clock in the evening, the people who had been crowded all day couldn't help but start to feel sleepy, and the noise gradually became smaller until it was completely silent.

Physically and mentally exhausted, everyone didn't want to talk anymore, and many people began to doze off uncontrollably.

"Bang bang—"

It was two o'clock in the morning, and after a few gunshots, there was a burst of screaming from a woman, breaking the silence on the top floor.

Afterwards, there were more people, and panicked voices sounded one after another. Almost everyone was awakened by the sudden movement. Zhao Xi had already straightened up and looked vigilantly towards the place where the gunfire sounded in the middle of the hotel.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The gunfire sounded again, and the crowd fell silent for an instant.

Seven or eight young men in their 30s and [-]s stood on the long cabinet in the middle of the original cafeteria, and the firearms held by three of them belonged to the original three soldiers.

"Listen up, everyone. The three guards have been taken care of by us. My men and I will take over here now. Those who don't want to die, and those who want to live must listen to us."

These people found a loudspeaker from nowhere, but the arrogant words from the loudspeaker silenced the crowd.

In the dark, no one spoke, let alone resisted, which made the man who spoke very satisfied, and began to direct the people who entered to make room.

The place where Zhao Xi was squeezed was at the edge of the restaurant, and there were countless heads separated from where those people were.Now, apart from being a little more crowded around, it hasn't been affected.

Sticking to the transparent glass window, Zhao Xi saw that the flood water outside had increased a lot.

As time went by, Zhao Xi also knew what the thugs were doing. They directed the crowd to collect wooden building materials and prepared to build an escape raft.

Another day later, the water level had spread to the [-]th floor of the stairs, and the water level outside had reached less than half a meter below the glass window.

By this time most people in the hotel were tired and hungry.

"Boss, these rafts are enough for us, and there are two more rafts, and we won't be able to use them after they are built. Do you want them to stop working?"

"Heh. Who said it's useless, keep building, there are so many people here!"

Zhang Qiang, who was called the boss, had an unshaven beard and a fierce look on his face.At the moment, he is sitting on a recliner, holding the woman in his arms up and down, and this woman~ is Wang Qingqing.

"Boss, when were you so kind..."

"Pa~" Before the man finished speaking, the back of the head was slapped by another man beside him and he staggered.

"Idiot, what does the boss mean..." It was Zhang Qiang's "dog-headed strategist" Wang An, who was currently the second-in-command of this group of people, who shot people.After photographing someone, Wang An began to explain Zhang Qiang's meaning to this little brother in a murmur.

"So that's it, boss, I'll tell my brothers to do it now." The younger brother's eyes became brighter and brighter after hearing Wang An's words.

Zhang Qiang also showed satisfaction in his eyes.

This group of people is originally unemployed in society, and they usually spend their days in night clubs and serve as thugs for some bosses.

Zhang Qiang is also one of them, he is considered a small leader among gangsters.

At the beginning of the natural disaster, Zhang Qiang could still eat and drink by stealing and robbing, but since the arrival of the army, the good times have come to an end, and he can only line up hard every year to get the unpalatable but not enough survival supplies.

Zhang Qiang had long been dissatisfied with the management of the army. After the flood came, he took advantage of the darkness to gather his men, and finally cleared them up when the three soldiers relaxed their vigilance last night.

Unfortunately, Wang Qingqing and Liu Meng were in the vicinity of their riot.

It's just that Wang Qingqing was not pulled over by Zhang Qiang. At this time, Zhang Qiang was thinking more about how to escape.

But Wang Qingqing took the initiative to deliver it to her door. She looked good, and she looked like the kind of woman sitting in an office building. Zhang Qiang was at the bottom, and women like Wang Qingqing would usually not like him, but this time she was very tender and affectionate to herself.

Zhang Qiang felt a great sense of self-satisfaction in his heart, and Wang Qingqing also successfully attached Zhang Qiang.

Liu Meng was sitting in the corner of the counter clutching her sore arm. Her dislocated arm was repaired by a doctor Zhang Qiang called, but her muscle was strained and needed to be recovered.

At this moment, Liu Meng secretly looked at Wang Qingqing who was touched by Zhang Qiang, her eyes were full of guilt.

Several times I thought of saying something to stop Zhang Qiang's behavior, but I was discouraged under Wang Qingqing's eyes.

Sister Qingqing said that only by relying on this person can her arm be cured, and her chances of surviving will be greater.

After the rafts were built, it was time to open the huge glass windows of the hotel. This group of people commanded the crowd to make way, and dragged the rafts to the glass windows to line them up.

Zhao Xi huddled in the crowd, looking at the neatly arranged rafts, three in a row, four in a row, and there were twelve rafts in total.

After a few loud bangs, three huge glass windows were broken open one after another.

The wind outside mixed with the rain began to pour in. The water level had almost risen to the level of the bottom of the glass window, and the crowd was in a commotion again.

Zhang Qiang and his younger brothers occupied the three rafts in the first row.

Zhang Qiang stood on the largest raft in the middle, and the younger brother handed over the big horn, and Zhang Qiang began to shout at the crowd with the horn.

Following Zhang Qiang's words, people looked fieryly at the raft lying on the ground behind Zhang Qiang and the others.

Someone wanted to jump on it, but was shot and killed by Zhang Qiang and others.After several people died, no one dared to jump on the empty raft at will.

If you want to get on these rafts, you must show your loyalty to Zhang Qiang and others, and prove that you are a capable person. Old and weak women and children are useless people, and Zhang Qiang will not allow them to occupy seats.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Qiang was able to make up his mind to kill the three soldiers was because he heard the plan of the three soldiers to build a raft to take everyone to escape.

However, the wood is limited, and it is impossible for thousands of people to escape. The three soldiers discussed to let the women and children escape first. After Zhang Qiang overheard it, he felt that this would completely cut off his own way of life, so...

The water flooded over the [-]th floor, Zhang Qiang sat in the middle of the raft, watching the melee crowd in the distance with satisfaction.

Win to live, lose to die.

Why should the opportunity to escape be given to others casually.Thinking of the idea that the three soldiers would give up the raft to the old and the weak, women and children, Zhang Qiang let out a hush.He Zhang Qiang wants to do the opposite today, the strong live and the weak die.To get on his raft, one had to be a winner, available to him.

Zhao Xi hid in a corner with a group of old and weak women and children who did not take part in the robbing of the raft, quietly watching thousands of people stampede and fight each other.

A flash of lightning strikes, the cold light shines through, and a foot of water on the ground is faintly visible, dyed red...
