465: Uncover the truth

"Splash, splash, splash!"

The rain intensified, and under the torrential downpour, a large crowd of people still stood at the subway station entrance, eagerly looking up.

They were still waiting for the Army to arrive.

Conversely, their expectation for the search team to find food was only moderate.

"Someone, someone is coming!"

Suddenly, exclamations of surprise erupted from the crowd!

And after his words surfaced, everyone immediately held their breath and looked.

But they were slightly disappointed.

The ones who appeared were members of the search team, not the Army.

Seeing the food these people brought back, everyone’s mood was somewhat comforted.

After the search team, drenched in the heavy rain, rejoined the crowd, the surrounding people also helped take the food.

"With this, we can last at least a week!"

"Hahaha, even if the Army is delayed again, can they be delayed for another week?"

The people at the subway station were filled with high spirits and enthusiasm.

They didn't notice the search team members who seemed to have had their Souls extracted.

However, they did notice that the original ten-person team now had only seven left.

"Where are Bai Jia, Zou Ke, and Wen Xiu Cheng?" Among the crowd, the relatives and friends of these three squeezed forward.

Their questions did not receive a single word in response from Wu Gen, Cui Shun, and the others.

The people around them just felt that their teammates had died, and they were grieving like this.

A few people pulled the relatives and friends of the three away and patted the remaining seven search team members: "It's okay, you've already done very well."

"With this food, the rest of us can completely survive and wait for the Army to come and rescue us!"

"By then, you people who helped everyone find food will be heroes!"

After seeing the food, everyone was still thinking of relying on this food to last until the Army came to rescue them!

Even the families of the deceased search team members.

Upon discovering that this food could sustain them until the Army's imminent arrival, the excitement in their hearts evaporated the tears of sadness.

Everything they were doing now was to persevere until the Army arrived!

That night.

On this day, everyone still did not wait for the Army.

Back in the subway station, everyone was eating the food the search team had found, their faces radiant with hope and anticipation.

"The Army said they would come on the 27th, and now it's been delayed by two or three days. Tomorrow, they should come, right?"

Among the crowd, a man gnawing on moldy bread spoke with a sense of comfort.

"If they don't come tomorrow, they will definitely come the day after tomorrow!"

Among the dozens of people, someone immediately shouted excitedly.

Zhou Shou's old face also smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Now that we have so much to eat, we are completely at ease."

"However, to prevent the incident where the rice was eaten up in a few days from happening again, we still need to be frugal."

"In case the Army is delayed for another three to five days, not having food will be a headache."

After his words were spoken, many people nodded in agreement.

However, unlike the jubilant, joyful, and hopeful crowd.

The seven members of the search team, after returning to the subway station, always sat leaning against the wall with dejected faces.

"Come, you search team members have worked hard today, eat more." Zhou Shou stood up at this moment, took two packages of cured duck from these packaged foods, and distributed them to the two people in front of him.

"You too, as members of the search team, you're not even taking the initiative to eat."

"If the Army hasn't arrived by then and you starve to death, that would be too unjust."

Zhou Shou said with the smile of a good old man.

However.

When the two packages of cured duck were placed in the hands of these two people.

One of them suddenly threw the things in his hand aside.

And the person beside him also threw the things aside afterwards.

"What are you doing! Treating food like this?!" Seeing the food being thrown away, Zhou Shou's brows furrowed immediately.

It was also at this moment that the gazes of the people next to them shifted over in confusion.

Everyone's eyes looked at the two packages of food that had been thrown away, their faces puzzled.

Food was so hard to come by, and yet someone wasn't eating it.

If it were given to them, they could even chew and swallow the bones of this cured duck!

"What am I doing?" Among the two people questioned by Zhou Shou, one opened his mouth and let out a "crack, crack" strange laugh.

"What am I doing... hahaha..."

A Man laughed in a chilling low voice, and as he laughed, two lines of tears overflowed from his eyes.

Holding his head, he curled up into a ball.

It seemed as if he wanted to press his body into the ground.

"Hahahahaha..."

Suppressed and frantic laughter, along with A Man's heaving shoulders, came from his mouth blocked by his arms, making people feel suffocated.

"His state... he's gone mad." In the crowd, a psychiatrist from before the apocalypse frowned and said.

"Mad?!"

"How is that possible!"

"When Yu Luan went out, he was clearly fine."

"He even said he would definitely bring food and would definitely hold on until the Army arrived."

"The Army hasn't even arrived, how could he have gone mad?!"

The crowd became restless.

Only the remaining six search team members showed no words or actions in response.

They were like hollow bodies that had lost their Souls.

"What's going on?" Some people finally noticed the state of the other few: "What happened to you outside?"

"You've been back for so long and haven't said a word."

"You're not eating either."

"And Yu Luan has gone mad!"

Facing the confusion of some people, one person in the search team said in a hollow and hoarse voice: "Fake, it's all fake... it's all fake!"

"We can only wait for death, all of us are waiting for death here!"

As this person spoke, he gnawed on the skin of his hand, tearing off a piece of bright red.

He was completely unaware, however, and in his trance-like murmuring, his mouth was full of blood.

This time, without waiting for everyone to ask, a bald man with a tall frame in the search team pointed directly at Wu Gen and Cui Shun with one hand: "It's you!"

"You lied to me, lied to everyone, lied to all people!"

"There is no Army at all! There is nothing, there are only more and more Zombies!"

"Twenty thousand Army to flatten the Zombies in Rong City, is Rong City worth the other Base Cities taking such a big risk? Those Base Cities themselves haven't even established a firm foothold, how could they possibly send out twenty thousand Army to save us!"

"Hahahaha, this content full of holes, I actually believed it so much!"

"Believed it so much!"

The bald man said, then turned to the other people in the subway station and roared: "Wake up! No Army is coming to save us! Stop dreaming!"

"No one is coming to save us, no one at all will come to save us!"

"Everything, everything is fake! It's fake!"

The bald man's roaring words were like a clap of thunder under the rain curtain in the City.

Instantly exploding in the ears of all the survivors in the subway station.

For more than ten breaths.

Only then was there a trembling voice in the crowd: "Don't joke, you found this food today, and after relaxing, you're thinking of scaring us, right?"

"Yeah, April Fool's Day isn't today, and this joke isn't funny either." Both voices were accompanied by stumbles.

In everyone's eyes, there was still a look of hope.
