People are easy-to-associate creatures. When talking about infectious diseases, they immediately think of infection, isolation, death, and even... cleaning. Sometimes the fear in fantasy is often more frightening than the real threat.
It had only been a few seconds, but there was no one around. Luo Yuan stood there, frowning.
It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of infection, but just now he clearly felt a mutated mosquito flying from behind the man when he fell. He looked at the middle-aged man who was still struggling and twitching on the ground. He took a few steps forward and, regardless of his nausea, grabbed his body and turned his back to the ground.
A purple-red lump as big as a fist suddenly appeared on the back of his neck, which was already extremely swollen. A trace of black blood was slowly flowing out along the red spot in the center of the lump.
"What a powerful poison!" His face became solemn!
These mosquitoes are obviously not mutant mosquitoes native to Hedong City. They most likely come from the wild, otherwise they would never have suddenly appeared just now. The defenses outside can deal with those large creatures, but they are powerless against such fist-sized insects, and may not even be noticed at all. The entire defense of Hedong City is like a sieve full of loopholes against these small creatures, with no defense at all!
Moreover, its toxicity is too severe and does not conform to the principles of biological evolution at all. No creature, not even the top species, wastes food like this. Poisoning an entire creature with just a mouthful of blood is a devastating blow to the entire food chain and will eventually lead to the self-destruction of the entire species. Nature is balanced. Once a certain link is damaged, a series of chain reactions will occur, eventually leading to a devastating blow.
But if it comes from the wild, all this makes sense. This mutant mosquito is so toxic that it is only to humans. If the target is replaced by a mutant beast, the effect is probably the same as a bite from a normal mosquito, but Humans are not mutant beasts, humans are too fragile and delicate. The toxicity that only paralyzes mutant beasts is fatal to humans.
There were faint screams in the distance, and a cool breeze blew by, making him feel chilled.
He woke up from his reverie, opened the door, got into the cab, and turned the van towards the nearby grain market.
At first, there were people running in panic on the road, but within a few minutes, the road was deserted. Several corpses were lying on the ground, some of which were still twitching and moaning...
The van carefully moved away from the corpses on the road. In just a few kilometers, Luo Yuan saw no less than a hundred corpses lying on the road.
"Zi!" Bread suddenly braked at the door of the market!
At this time, several security guards of the grain market were about to close the door. Luo Yuan quickly jumped out of the car and shouted: "Wait, I want to buy rice?"
"This place is closing. I have to buy rice and come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" A tall and thin security guard with dark skin said with a hint of uneasiness on his face. He motioned to the security guards around him to pull down the rolling door.
Luo Yuan was anxious and speeded up suddenly. When the security guard completely closed the rolling door, he pulled hard on the lower iron railing: "Brothers, it's not too late. It only takes a few minutes. If you act quickly, , probably not even a minute.”
"What...are you doing?" The tall and thin security guard was caught off guard for a moment. Just now, he saw the man getting out of the car, but the next moment, the man had already pulled the rolling door.
"There is not enough food at home, and something like this happened outside. You also know that without food, our family will starve to death." Each of these security guards is well-equipped, and Luo Yuan does not want other troubles to arise. He took out a stack of 100 kilograms of large food stamps from his pocket and stuffed them through the gap in the rolling door without even looking at them: "Brothers, please be accommodating."
The tall and thin security guard picked up the stack of food stamps and counted them. There were eighteen stamps in total. His heartbeat secretly accelerated and his breathing became somewhat rapid.
He is also a person recruited by the government, but he is just a non-staff person. There is some oil and water, but it cannot be said to be nourishing. He is just hungry. He has never seen so much money. But when he considered the mysterious deaths outside, he hesitated.
"Captain!" Qian can speak to ghosts and gods. Seeing the captain's hesitation, an older security guard couldn't help but said.
The tall and thin security guard came back to his senses and looked at the eager men around him. His face was stunned, and he no longer hesitated and said directly: "How much do you want?"
Luo Yuan also knew not to go too far: "Five fifty-jin bags of new grain."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Two hundred and fifty kilograms of grain, even if it was new, only cost three hundred and seventy-five kilograms of food stamps. The remaining more than 1,400 food stamps were theirs.
"Go and bring a few bags of food, quickly!" the tall and thin security guard said in a deep voice. The grain market implements a quota system, but as long as it is managed by people, there will inevitably be loopholes. They are the security guards of the grain market. As long as they do not go too far, they still have this privilege.
"Yes! Captain?"
Several tall and strong security guards quickly ran towards the warehouse. It didn't take long to bring five bags of grain over, and then pushed them through the crack in the door.
Luo Yuan dragged the five bags of grain aside. Seeing that they were about to close the door, he quickly said: "Wait!"
The tall and thin security guard became vigilant and quietly pulled out his pistol. Upon seeing this, the security guards around him also drew their pistols. He said solemnly: "The food has been given to you, what else do you want to do?"
Luo Yuan knew everything behind the sliding door very well. He once again took out six hundred-jin food stamps and stuffed them into the crack of the door without hesitation: "My friends, please don't misunderstand me. It was a pleasure to cooperate with you this time. I hope you can do it next time." There’s another chance.”
We don't know when this situation will end. If the situation worsens, this amount of food will obviously not be enough. Although these security guards are not high-ranking people, sometimes these people can play a key role at critical moments.
The tall and thin security guard was obviously stunned for a moment when he looked at the money that was handed to him. With his status, he had never been exposed to such a battle, but he quickly reacted: "Okay, I have made a commitment to be your friend. My name is Zhou." Feng, come to me if you come to buy food in the future.”
"Luo Yuan! See you later."
After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he threw a sack on his shoulder, then picked up two bags of grain with both hands and strode towards the van.
His strength is 2.25 times that of normal people. If an ordinary person can lift 75 kilograms, he can now lift about 170 kilograms. In kilograms, it is 340 kilograms. Five bags of grain only weigh 250 kilograms. It was nothing to him.
Next, Luo Yuan went to the vegetable market. The market was closed. Even though Luo Yuan had said all his good things, no one opened the door. He was obviously frightened by the sudden large-scale death.
They didn't dare to open the door, and Luo Yuan had no choice. He could force his way in, but he couldn't bear the consequences. Not to mention the dozen or so well-equipped security guards inside, even if he came out unscathed in the end, he would trigger the violence of Hedong City. Paying close attention to the consequences can make him think twice.
Luo Yuan drove the car to the community and carried five bags of grain to the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of vinegar hit his face.
"Why did you come back?" Huang Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the intact Luo Yuan, then quickly closed the door and said anxiously: "I heard that there was a malignant infectious disease outside and many people died?"
"Don't worry too much, it's not an infectious disease." He moved five bags of grain to the storage room and continued: "The virus has a simple structure and is prone to mutation. This wave of biological evolution has a very limited impact on it."
Huang Jiahui thought about it, and it made sense. Cold viruses mutate very quickly, almost several times a year, without causing much impact.
"By the way, are your windows closed?" Luo Yuan remembered something and asked quickly.
"It's been closed a long time ago, and the windows are all sealed with strips of cloth."
"That's not necessary. Those people outside were poisoned by mutated mosquitoes. It's okay to leave a gap."
When Huang Jiahui heard about mutant mosquitoes, she got goosebumps all over her body. She had also seen mutant mosquitoes, and each one was very big. When bitten by one, it would cause a big bump, and it was extremely itchy. She had seen mutant mosquitoes in the community. Someone was bitten by a mutated mosquito, and his skin was rotten when scratched, and he kept scratching until blood dripped from his skin. She was a little confused and said: "Although the mosquito bite is itchy and uncomfortable, it won't kill you!"
After Luo Yuan explained what he saw outside, Huang Jiahui's face suddenly turned pale and she stayed there in a daze.
Luo Yuan didn't speak anymore. He counted the supplies, and then walked around the room, sensing every corner. When he saw the mutated mosquitoes coming in, he solemnly said: "I'm afraid this matter won't end in a short time. Food It's enough, but there are not many dishes left for meals. Starting today, the dishes for each meal will be halved, which should last for more than ten days. "
At this time, Master Wang came out of the kitchen. She was holding a bag of vinegar in her hand. Then she squeezed her hand and a stream of vinegar shot out of her mouth. After shooting into the air, it seemed to have completely lost the gravity of the earth and floated. It turned into large and small water droplets and explained in a low voice: "This is not because I want to show off. There is no sprayer at home. Sister Huang asked me to use it!"
The next moment, drops of water exploded continuously, turning into clouds of water mist.
The sour smell in the room suddenly became stronger.
"Stop! Stop spraying." Luo Yuan shouted stop with a headache on his face.
"What's wrong?" Master Wang asked puzzled.
I don’t know who came out during the SARS period. Vinegar can disinfect, so that when the general public encounters such a thing, they first think of using vinegar, but in fact it has no effect at all.
"I'll tell you more in detail later. Stop spreading it. The smell is a bit unpleasant. Come here first!"
