I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1076 Emergency Evacuation

The evacuation notice was so vague? Something must have happened.

The fewer words in a government notice, the bigger the matter.

"Was it an explosion or leak at the gas station? Or a plane crash?"

Mo Ling had a few guesses in his mind, but was still confused, and hurriedly followed his neighbors downstairs.

At this time, the streets were full of fleeing people, and the driveways were also blocked. The cars turned into the surrounding side roads, but the side roads were still full of vehicles, and there were small electric scooters running around. The crowds were crowded across the road, and vehicles could hardly move.

"Let's just walk..."

In this situation, walking is much more convenient than using public transportation.

"Go east..."

After confirming the direction, Mo Ling joined the evacuation crowd.

Most of the people evacuating on the street did not carry too much luggage, but some of them were carrying a lot of large and small bags, which looked like they could weigh them down. It became increasingly difficult for these people to move on the street, and they had to check from time to time whether their luggage was lost.

"How did you manage to carry so much luggage when the time is so tight..." Mo Ling complained silently in his heart and stopped caring about others.

He was very familiar with the terrain nearby, so there was no need for him to continue squeezing with the crowd. When the time was right, Mo Ling rushed directly into a nearby alley.

This alley is usually pitch black, with no street lights, and garbage often falls from the buildings on both sides. The alley is dirty and smelly, and even the sanitation workers are too lazy to come in to clean it. It rained a few days ago and the ground was still wet, and mixed with the garbage, it gave off an unbearable stench.

But now is the time to escape, so we don’t have time to care about these things.

Mo Ling knew that this alley led to another block. If he didn't mind the dirt and mess inside, it would definitely be better to walk here than to go outside and squeeze with the crowds.

After taking a deep breath, Mo Ling rushed into the depths of the alley.

There were a few people behind him who wanted to follow, but when they smelled the stench in the alley, they stopped and returned to the main road.

Mo Ling was running fast in the alley, jumping lightly over the garbage piled on the ground. When the wind speed around him increased, the stench was also reduced a lot.

Soon, Mo Ling ran to the exit of the alley. Looking at the blocked road, he ignored the traffic rules and went around the crowded vehicles and rushed into another alley across the road.

Although I don’t know why we have to evacuate, panic among people is contagious.

The crowded vehicles and crowds further deepened Mo Ling's nervousness. Although he thought he was very calm, his heart inevitably beat faster and faster, and his steps became more and more hurried.

Just as he was about to leave the alley, there was a loud noise behind him.

"boom!"

It was like the fireworks during Chinese New Year, but the noise was several times louder. It came from the narrow alley and was so loud that Mo Ling covered his ears.

"what happened?"

He quickly looked behind him, but saw nothing.

The sound seemed to come from farther behind him. He was in an alley at the moment, and the surrounding buildings blocked his vision. Of course, he could not see anything.

After the loud noise stopped, Mo Ling suddenly felt the ground shaking again. It seemed that the shock wave from the previous "explosion" had reached here. The surrounding buildings shook a few times, and the garbage piled up in the alley collapsed. "Is it ten minutes yet? It seems not yet, but something has happened now."

That noise is so scary...

Mo Ling put away his remaining hope and stopped worrying about what was happening behind him. He continued to rush towards the alley entrance.

There is a park outside the alley, and you can reach further places by crossing the park.

"The notice only said to run eastward, but it didn't say how far to run..."

As Mo Ling thought about it, he jumped over the greenery at the edge of the park and landed on the lawn.

There are very few people here. It seems that when everyone was escaping, they first thought of taking the wide road, but they didn't expect to go straight through the park.

There are a lot of green plants in the park, and there are also some artificial lakes and pavilions blocking the way. It would be very winding to escape, but the only advantage now is that there is no traffic jam.

Mo Ling continued to implement his decision to escape separately from the crowd and sprinted through the park without stopping.

He often came to this park for walks and was very familiar with the various narrow paths inside. The small cobblestone paths in the park were interconnected. Even if there was no path to walk on, he could climb over the green belt and jump over the fence. For Mo Ling who was walking, this was not a difficult task.

Mo Ling continued to accelerate, but just as he was about to cross a small arch bridge over the artificial lake, the familiar loud noise came from behind him again.

"boom!"

This time the distance was farther, but the sound seemed louder, as if someone had dropped a missile into the city behind.

Mo Ling had never heard the sound of a missile, but his association could only go so far.

Before he had time to look back, the small arch bridge under his feet began to shake, followed by several "crackling" sounds of breaking.

"What a shoddy project! It cost hundreds of millions to build a park, tens of millions to build a pavilion, and millions to build a broken wooden arch bridge. They made so much in kickbacks, but the bridge is still so shabby!"

Mo Ling cursed a few words in his heart. These were what he heard from the old men playing chess while he was walking in the park. He also got confirmation from the aunties dancing in the square. Although he was not sure whether it was true or not, he was now more indignant than ever before.

The bridge collapsed without even giving Mo Ling any time to react.

He was still in the middle of the arch bridge, and just a few seconds after hearing those "crack" sounds, the bridge tilted to one side.

While the bridge had not yet completely collapsed, Mo Ling used up his last bit of strength, jumped onto the bridge's fence with a sprint, then pushed hard again, flew forward, and landed on the soft grass in front of the bridge.

After rolling a few times to release all his strength, Mo Ling panted and looked behind him.

The multi-million-dollar arch bridge had completely collapsed and was in pieces. Rotten wood floated on the lake, and from the cross section, you could see holes inside that were eaten away by termites...

Mo Ling no longer had the energy to complain. He sat on the ground for a while, took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and took a sip. Then he quickly stood up and continued to run to the other side of the park.

As he ran forward, he suddenly noticed some black spots in the sky, flying towards him from the distant horizon.

Mo Ling looked closely and found that they were actually a fleet of helicopters. Those helicopters seemed to be military ones. They were flying towards his back, which was the direction where the loud noise came from.

"Are you going to rescue people? Or are you dealing with something else?"
