Chapter 23 - 21 : Broadcast
It was daylight, and Brian and Sarah got up early to prepare to set off. Osborne also planned to see if he could contact his old friends to report the matter, but the RV could not be left unattended, so he asked Kelly to stay and watch.
Leaving the abandoned factory and walking to the street, although it was not yet 7 o'clock, the street was already overcrowded. All the survivors living in tents in the city left their homes and headed towards the central block. To collect their meager supplies.
Looking at the dense flow of people, Brian sighed with emotion, held Sarah's hand to prevent the two from getting separated, recalled the route Antoine said yesterday, and headed towards the opposite side of the crowd.
"We want freedom! We want democracy! We want human rights! We want the economy!"
"Freedom is fundamental!"
"Quarantine is worse than the virus!"
"Fear is the only contagious disease!"
"..."
Just after Brian and Sarah crossed a long street, a group of demonstrators holding opposition signs suddenly appeared in front of the road ahead. They held their opposition signs high and shouted impassioned slogans.
There were dozens of people on this street. They knelt on the ground with their hands clasped together, muttering something in their mouths. Among them, a woman was holding a board that read, This disaster is that the devil inflicts punishment on humans. Belief in God can help you avoid Punishment.
The pedestrians and policemen around them just looked at everything in front of them indifferently. No one paid special attention to it, as if they were no longer surprised by this kind of thing.
