The evacuation notice was actually this vague? Then something very serious must have happened.
The fewer words there were in a government notice, the bigger the problem.
"Was there an explosion and leak at the gas station? Or a plane crash?"
Mo Ling came up with several guesses, but he was still completely in the dark. He hurried downstairs with his neighbors.
The streets were already packed with fleeing crowds, and the lanes were jammed solid. Cars turned into the surrounding side roads, but those were still clogged with vehicles, along with Electric Scooters darting everywhere. People squeezed across the streets, and the vehicles could barely move.
"Better to walk..."
In a situation like this, walking was far more convenient than using transportation.
"East..."
After confirming the direction, Mo Ling joined the evacuation crowd.
Most of the evacuees on the street were not carrying much luggage, but some had piles of bags hanging from them, enough to crush a person under their weight. It was becoming harder and harder for them to move through the streets, and they kept checking whether they had lost anything.
With so little time, how did they manage to grab so much luggage...? Mo Ling silently complained, then stopped paying attention to others.
He was very familiar with the nearby terrain, so there was no need to keep squeezing through the crowd. Seizing an opportunity, Mo Ling darted directly into a nearby small alley.
This small alley was usually pitch-black, with no streetlights. Trash often fell from the buildings on either side, and the place was filthy and reeked so badly that even Sanitation Workers could not be bothered to clean it. It had rained a few days ago, leaving the ground wet and muddy. Mixed with the garbage, it gave off an unbearable stench.
