Chapter 59: acute disease

Views:

Luo Yuan picked up the newspaper and found that the news was full of comments about evolvers. Judging from the overall direction of the trend, it seemed to be very bad.

Hedong City has been implementing a high-pressure policy since the world changed, but theft and robbery occur from time to time, and it cannot be completely banned. And as time goes by, more and more vicious incidents occur. There were many murders, rapes, and even police and armed police deaths, and some of these arrogant and domineering evolvers were involved.

The security problem is getting bigger and bigger, and the government has gradually lost patience and decided to completely suppress this force and consolidate it.

Luo Yuan withdrew his gaze. The above is an inference based on news comments. It seems that they are similar.

He put down the newspaper, feeling a little heavy.

Although he is not an evolver, others will never believe it. Once someone discovers something strange, a team of armed police will probably come to the door the next day. Moreover, there is a real evolver at home, so he can't help but worry. He is not The aversion to being drafted by the government is not the fear of being dissected, a nonsense that only nerds can imagine.

He just doesn't want to lose his freedom.

Government departments are not so easy to mess with. All kinds of regulations and hidden rules are enough to make people breathless. This is why he could easily pass the civil service examination with an IQ of 13 points, but he has never taken the civil service examination.

With such ability, even if he is not drafted, he can still live a good life, so why should he suffer such a sin.

The middle-aged fat man didn't leave after getting his hair cut. Instead, he sat down next to Luo Yuan and said a little familiarly: "I'll wait for you to finish your hair cut and leave together. The mutated earthworm monster in the neighborhood is scary. It's okay for two of us." Take care of it.”

"Then you're still coming out?" Luo Yuan was a little surprised by his mentality. If he was so scared, why did he go there so early.

"I don't want to either. It just so happens that we just ran out of rice at home. We can't watch my wife and children go hungry!" The middle-aged fat man touched his belly and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I thought that an earthworm was nothing to be afraid of. The impulse came out, and to tell you the truth, I don’t dare to go back now.”

Only then did Luo Yuan see a bag of rice next to the sofa.

"By the way, why are you out here too?" The fat middle-aged man was indeed an insurance man, and he spoke eloquently.

"I have the same idea as you. You think it doesn't even have a mouth. How can it still eat people?" Luo Yuan said deceptively.

The middle-aged fat man was convinced: "Yeah, I really don't understand what there is to be afraid of. There was no one in the community all morning."

During the chat, Luo Yuan learned that the middle-aged fat man was called Huang Wei. Both of them had no jobs and had been unemployed at home.

Even though there are now industrial zones one after another in Hedong City, both the number and scale of factories are far from being compared to Hedong City before the mutation. The unemployment rate in Hedong City has almost reached over 70%, and most people are unemployed.

Luo Yuan is considered a mid-to-high-end community. Most people have a certain financial strength, so they can still live their lives. However, some people who don't have much savings or even have debts can only survive by receiving relief grains.

By the time Luo Yuan finished cutting his hair, it was almost ten o'clock.

As soon as he walked out of the barber shop, he saw a black insect the size of a fist brushing past him.

Luo Yuan pinched it subconsciously, but he didn't want to use too much force or the thing was too fragile. The insect was crushed by his hand. He spread his hand and saw that it was sticky and covered with liquid, and there were With a shapeless insect corpse stuck to him, he frowned with a look of disgust on his face.

"What is it?" Huang Wei asked curiously.

"I don't know, a bug, I don't know where it came from?" Luo Yuan said nonchalantly.

There are so many such insects nowadays that you can often see them even at home. He has killed several palm-sized cockroaches just in his bedroom. He has long been used to them. However, since his perception was upgraded, this The insects have become extinct.

"My house has to be sprayed with insecticide every day, but unfortunately it's useless. A few days ago, during the general cleaning, I found a one-meter-long 'money string'. I was shocked and it took a lot of effort to kill it. ." He was obviously frightened.

"Qian Chuanzi!" Luo Yuan had never heard of this name and said with some confusion.

"The money string is also called a centipede. You must have seen something similar to a centipede. Maybe you have one at home?" Huang Wei said with a malicious smile.

As he was talking, the same insect flew quickly in front of him. This time he finally saw it clearly: "This seems to be a mosquito?"

Huang Wei's face turned pale: "Can you see clearly that this is a mosquito?"

"My eyesight has always been very good. Although I am a bit bigger, I can never see wrong!" Luo Yuan also said with a serious face. With his thirteen-point agility, his eyes are almost equivalent to a high-speed camera. Although mosquitoes fly very fast, they cannot escape his eyes.

However, Luo Yuan was still a little unsure. Mosquitoes, like other insects, had also mutated, but they were not large in size. It's only about the size of a fingernail, and because it's easy to spot, it's killed as soon as it appears. Nowadays, mosquitoes are rarely seen in Hedong City. Unexpectedly, not only did they appear one after another today, but their bodies also changed dramatically.

"Hey, what happened ahead?" Huang Wei asked in surprise.

There was a group of people gathered on the road ahead. Through the gaps in the crowd, he could vaguely see a middle-aged woman lying on the ground twitching. Luo Yuan had a vague premonition in his heart and walked quickly forward.

He and Huang Wei squeezed into the crowd, and when they saw the middle-aged woman, their expressions couldn't help but change. Her skin was swollen and out of shape, almost transparent, and streams of white foam kept spurting out of her mouth, looking extremely scary.

"What's going on? Is this like this?" Huang Wei was surprised and asked the person next to him.

"This is what you have to ask him. I am also coming later." The man pointed at one of them and said.

"Don't talk nonsense. She was walking more than ten meters in front of me. She fell down while walking, and what happened next was seen by many people." A middle-aged man clarified quickly, for fear of Get into trouble.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her breathing was like a bellows, which became more and more difficult. Seeing that she was about to die, Luo Yuan couldn't bear it and shouted to the crowd: "Who is the doctor here?"

Seeing that no one around him had come forward, a young man hesitated and said, "I haven't graduated from medical school yet, so I can only do simple first aid."

"I can't care that much, why don't you take a look first? I'll get the car and then go to the hospital immediately, otherwise it will be too late."

"Okay!" the young man said.

Luo Yuan tried his best to control the speed of an ordinary person, ran towards the community quickly, and soon drove his van over.

"Everyone, give way!" Luo Yuan got out of the car and squeezed into the crowd. He found that the middle-aged woman was motionless, and the student from the Medical University stood beside him with a dejected face. Seeing Luo Yuan come back, he said: "Already Dead, no heartbeat or breathing."

"So fast? Have you found out what disease she has?" Luo Yuan said in surprise.

The medical student shook his head: "It may be some kind of acute illness, but I have never seen such symptoms in the book?"

"Someone fell down again?" someone exclaimed at this time.

A person who was watching suddenly had a convulsion and fell softly to the ground. He could moan a few times at first, but as his body quickly swelled, he could no longer make a sound. He stared and foamed at the sight. Keep squirting out of the mouth.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and there was a sense of panic.

"This disease is contagious, please don't crowd around here!" One person warned kindly, and then quickly ran outside.

The crowd who had been watching the excitement just now suddenly became extremely ugly, as if they had been greatly frightened, and suddenly dispersed. The medical student who had had physical contact with the middle-aged woman turned pale as a sheet and ran outside in despair.
