Apocalypse: Infinite God-tier Options At The Beginning - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Radio Storm

Tang Wanqiu’s teasing swept away the dark clouds. He carefully examined the packaging in front of him which was in English. The only thing he could understand was the picture on it. It looked like a radio.

“Are there any more electronics in this hypermarket?”

Xu Qi was a little surprised. Most of the second floor of the hypermarket was divided into daily necessities, household goods, cleaning supplies, and so on. He did not see any appliances at all.

After the virus outbreak, most of the cell phone signals in Qingzhou City had been paralyzed. Other than the radio in the car, there was no other equipment that could receive information.

If he had a radio that worked, he might be able to receive information from the outside world.

Thinking of this, he immediately felt a little excited.

Seeing Xu Qi’s reaction, Tang Wanqiu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle. “This isn’t from the hypermarket. It was found in the staff lounge. From the looks of it, the packaging hasn’t even been removed. It must have been bought not long

ago.”

“Let’s not worry about that for now. Let’s see if we can find an audio signal. If we can get some information, that would be great.”

Xu Qi immediately opened the box and took out the radio inside.

The female workers who were preparing to rest on the floor immediately became excited when they saw the radio.

During this period of time, they didn’t know what was going on in the outside world. Perhaps the officials had already started mobilizing the army. It was even possible that they would clean up all the zombies outside in a few days.

The workers all looked at the radio with great anticipation.

Xu Qi didn’t hesitate at all. He inserted the battery and immediately pressed the power button.

After turning on the radio, a rustling sound came from it. Xu Qi moved a stool to sit down and began to patiently tune in to the radio channel.

Tang Wanqiu sat at the side and couldn’t wait to hear the voices from the outside world. “Sizzle… Next… Sizzle for the Minister of Health and Prevention to speak.”

Not long after, Xu Qi adjusted the first channel. When they heard the news broadcast, the female workers pricked up their ears. None of them were sleepy.

“I hereby inform the public that Qingzhou City will not be locked down in the future. We have already sent relevant personnel to investigate the source of the virus. Please don’t panic. The officials have already sent more manpower to support the various districts. It is our responsibility to ensure the stability of the city’s security!”

Very quickly, the Minister of Health’s speech sounded on the radio.

That voice echoed in the hearts of everyone on the second floor of the hypermarket. It was calm and powerful.

It seemed that the spread of this virus was limited to a very small area. It would not be long before it was completely eliminated.

“This is the latest report from our reporter. Please follow our channel for more news.”

The press conference ended quickly, and the female workers were all excited.

If everything was as the health official had said, this virus would definitely end in a short time.

Then they could return to their normal lives!

However, Xu Qi had a different opinion when he heard this.

He had gone all the way from the highway to the hypermarket dozens of kilometers away. Along the way, he saw countless zombies and all kinds of mutated zombies.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult to clean up so many zombies unless the officials used their planes to bombard them indiscriminately.

Moreover, this virus did not seem to only spread in Qingzhou City. Perhaps, the entire Huaxia or even the entire world was already affected by the virus.

The officials must be hiding something from them.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi adjusted the signal reception frequency again to see if there were any other audio messages.

“Hiss hiss… Thank you for paying attention to Midnight Radio, 688FM. We’ll start the late-night connection next. The phone number to connect is 0794xxxx. If you’re in a relationship that you can’t let go of, you might as well share it with us. If you have anything you want to say to the Midnight Radio segment, you can call and give your suggestion.”

A soothing saxophone played on the radio, accompanied by the host’s magnetic, warm voice.

“Beep beep… Hello, this is Midnight Radio Station. Thank you for calling. Do you want to share your unforgettable feelings with us or do you want to share interesting things in life?”

On the second floor of the hypermarket, everyone was listening attentively. Soon the radio station received the first call.

“Please, send someone to save me. I live in Tanmen Village in the West District… I’m trapped at home and haven’t eaten for two days…

There are people-eating ghosts outside. My family members have all turned into zombies! They are knocking on my bedroom door now. Please send someone to save me!”

( now.

A weak female voice came on the line. The background noise was very noisy. There was incessant knocking on the door.

Compared to the host with the full bodied and magnetic voice, the woman who called looked extremely weak. She was sobbing as if she was on the verge of collapse!

“Ahem… Don’t be anxious. The officials will definitely hear your distress call. They might send someone over in a few hours. It seems that it’s not convenient for this lady. Then let’s start the next lucky connection.”

Before the other party could react, the host quickly hung up.

“Please believe in the country. This kind of thing must be rare.”

Not long after the host finished speaking, the phone rang again.

“Hello, this is Radio Midnight. Please go ahead.”

meo

“Hey, someone finally received my call… Little brother, save me. I’ve been trapped on the balcony for more than 40 hours. My company’s employees have gone crazy. They bite anyone they see now, and they even ate my pet dog!! My phone is about to run out of battery. Can you send someone over? The address is the 17th floor of the Golden Garden Commercial Building…”

This time, the call was made by a man in his thirties. He sounded equally panicky. However, this time, the host hung up before the other party could finish speaking.

Even though he was listening on the radio, Xu Qi felt rather depressed.

After more than 40 hours of being exposed to the elements on the balcony, the man trapped in the company finally got through on the radio. But that desire for life that had risen in his heart was ruthlessly extinguished. Xu Qi could imagine that the man would probably starve or fall to his death.

An instant death was not scary. What was scary was knowing that you were about to die, but there was no way to change it.

However, from these calls, Xu Qi knew that zombies must have already existed in most of Qingzhou City. Moreover, the time of infection in each area was different.
