Chapter 128 Natural Disaster
Zhong Xuan is a reporter from Xinxia News Agency. At this time, she was taking this helicopter to Gukou City.

The straight-line distance between Gukou City and Shangjing is less than 100 kilometers, so 20 minutes after takeoff, Zhong Xuan saw the outline of Gukou City and the iconic port building.

"Sister Zhong, there seems to be something happening down there!" Cameraman Xiao Zhang's voice trembled slightly.

Zhong Xuan tightened the safety rope and slowly moved to the helicopter door. The moment the door was opened, the violent airflow blew her so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes.

When she got used to the air flow and was finally able to open her eyes, she was immediately frightened by the scene below.

Below is a dark area, which is the mainstream hair color of the Xia people!

Looking down from 500 meters above the ground, the human head is just a black dot, but countless black dots gathered together to form a black tide that is surging towards Shangjing!
All the citizens of Gukou who were infected with an unknown plague seemed to be summoned by some force and were running towards Shangjing tirelessly!

Zhong Xuan bit her lip subconsciously, then turned to the photographer Xiao Zhang and shouted, "Quickly turn on the camera and take a picture!"

Cameraman Xiao Zhang quickly recorded this terrifying scene with his trembling hands!
Based on sporadic cases in Shangjing and the oral accounts of those who had escaped from Gukou City by chance, Zhong Xuan already knew what the dark "crowd" below was!

They were a group of tireless, agile monsters that would bite anyone they saw!

Moreover, people who are bitten by monsters will soon become monsters, just like the zombies in American movies!

If this endless tide of zombies were to overwhelm Shangjing, who knows how many casualties it would cause.

"Sister Zhong, it's like this now. Are we still going to Gukou?" Photographer Xiao Zhang asked while taking pictures.

Obviously Xiao Zhang has backed off a bit, and his doubts are not entirely out of cowardice. Under the current circumstances, can Gukou City really find living people to interview?

Zhong Xuan took a photo with her mobile phone and briefly described the situation. She then sent the message to her boss and said to Xiao Zhang, "The more this is the case, the more we should go!"

Such eye-catching and dangerous things are what people love to watch. The anchor who risked his life to broadcast "Magnetist" last time has become extremely popular recently.

All the self-media know that wealth and honor come from taking risks, so how could she, a member of the official media, not know this?

As long as she could go deep into Gukou City and shoot some precious footage, or even interview one or two survivors, Zhong Xuan would become famous immediately!
Fame is extremely important for journalists or media. Being able to convey ideas to more people is the value of the media, and fame is the basis for ensuring that more people see you.

For the media, fame is money, fame is life.

So for Zhong Xuan, taking a little risk in exchange for huge fame is totally worth it!

Obviously, Xiao Zhang still had the mentality of a worker at this time and did not have the awareness of a media person. However, he still chose to submit to Zhong Xuan's tyranny.

So the helicopter flew into Gukou City against the tide of zombies!

This was the twentieth hour after what would later be called the "Plague".

The streets of Gukou City were filled with all kinds of vehicles colliding with each other, which, together with the fire hydrants spraying water, the flashing police lights and the human tissues scattered on the ground, formed a doomsday picture.

The emergency broadcast was still broadcasting the emergency speech of the mayor of Gukou City in a loop, warning citizens not to panic and to trust the government.

But there were not many living citizens in Gukou who could listen to the mayor's admonition. Even the mayor himself, who had just finished his speech, was buried in the helicopter flying to Shangjing. Fortunately, none of the four people on the helicopter had drunk the so-called "holy water" and no one had been bitten by a "zombie", so there was no risk of the Xinxiashe helicopter crashing.

But it was also not easy for Zhong Xuan to complete her interview task.

It was obvious that order in Gukou City had been paralyzed. There was no one on the streets, and no lights were seen on the tall buildings. The whole city had lost its former bustle, and only the noise from helicopter propellers echoed in the city.

Zhong Xuan felt like she had entered a dark forest of steel!

Just as Zhong Xuan was about to leave in disappointment, a flash of fire suddenly lit up in the dock area!
Zhong Xuan's eyes lit up and she quickly directed the driver to move towards the place where the fire was.

After a while, the characters formed by the firelight came into Zhong Xuan's eyes - "SOS".

There are survivors indeed!
Zhong Xuan was excited!
When the plane flew over the fire, Zhong Xuan finally saw where they were.

This is the rooftop of a factory. The word "SOS" on the rooftop is made of gasoline by several workers.

These people must have come out to ask for help after hearing the sound of the helicopter!
"Can we land on this roof? They dare to set fire here, which at least proves that this building is safe!"

"Landing is fine! But..." The pilot hesitated for a moment and expressed his concerns, "Our helicopter can only carry ten people at most, and there seems to be more than that number below, and we don't have any self-defense weapons."

The pilots' concerns are not unfounded. In an environment where order breaks down, anything can happen.

Right now these people seem to welcome Zhong Xuan's arrival, but once they find out that they cannot all be saved, they will probably do something extreme!

But Zhong Xuan was still ready to go down for the interview, "Then let's land! You two are pilots, they won't dare to do anything to you, and without you, they can't fly the helicopter!"

Photographer Xiao Zhang was anxious when he heard this, "Sister Zhong, what about me?"

Zhong Xuan glared at the unpromising Xiao Zhang and said, "I'll walk behind you, okay?"

After hearing what Zhong Xuan said, Xiao Zhang felt a little hurt in his self-esteem, and defended himself, "Sister Zhong, that's not what I meant. My family has been a single-line family for three generations, and I haven't married yet..."

"What? I still have to find a wife for you?" Zhong Xuan was really annoyed. In her opinion, she was getting rich together with Xiao Zhang!

There are so many people who can take photos, but how many of them are famous photographers?
If you don’t shoot any explosive content, how can you become famous?
In any case, the helicopter landed smoothly on the roof.

The people on the rooftop gathered around excitedly without waiting for the helicopter blades to stop turning.

But when they saw the microphone in Zhong Xuan's hand and the camera in Xiao Zhang's hand, they became indifferent again.

Only one burly worker still extended his hand to the two.

Zhong Xuan looked at the man in surprise, then shook hands and said, "I am Zhong Xuan, a reporter from Xinxia Society. I came to Gukou this time to learn about the situation here.

The burly worker then introduced himself: "I am Li Congzhe, a councillor of Lingang District, Gukou City. Welcome to both of you!"

A congressman? Zhong Xuan took a look at the other person's workman's clothes. Is there such a congressman? Aren't congressmen all dressed in suits and sitting in their offices? Don't they disappear without a trace when something happens?
