After hearing the medical officer's explanation about zombies, the whole audience was shocked again.

Although it is dangerous to need people to go to the temperature-controlled plantation, everyone has a certain degree of luck and thinks that they will not be the unlucky one.

But the beehives where they live and provide them with a safe haven are now fraught with danger. This is even more terrifying and more unacceptable than going to a temperature-controlled plantation.

When Feng Chen heard this, he reached out and touched his forehead. Although he did not have a fever, he began to feel nervous and subconsciously put Yan Bubu in his arms to the ground.

Yan Bubu was surrounded by the tightly covered thigh barriers, and no one could see outside. He gently tugged at the corner of Feng Chen's clothes. Although he did not dare to make a direct request, he also implicitly expressed his intention to be held in a hug.

Feng Chen seemed not to notice anything, and stared straight ahead motionlessly, only his hand hanging by the side of his pants gradually clenched into a fist.

Yan Bubu didn't notice all this. Seeing that Feng Chen didn't hug her, she didn't continue to ask for it. She just pricked up her ears to listen to the sound.

At this time, someone asked: "What kind of fever would be considered turning into a zombie? What if it's just a cold?"

The medical officer said: "According to the information we have so far, the conditions of the mutants vary. Some have similar symptoms to a cold, while others simply have a persistent fever. Occasionally, the body temperature will return to normal for a short period of time, but the interval between the next fever will not exceed three days."

Hearing this, Feng Chen slowly exhaled and loosened his clenched hands, his palms already wet with sweat.

He did have frequent low-grade fevers and occasionally high fevers some time ago, but his temperature has been normal during this period, and it has been almost a month since the last fever. According to the medical officer, the interval between fevers should not exceed three days, so he is not a virus carrier.

Yan Bubu was staring at the thighs of the person in front of him out of boredom, counting how many small squares there were on his trousers, when he felt his body lighten and he was picked up by someone, and his vision became wide again.

He turned his head and grinned at Feng Chen who was holding him. Feng Chen didn't even look at him, but freed one hand and turned his head back.

Major General Lin took over the topic again, and his cold voice echoed throughout the underground space: "From now on, everyone will have their temperature taken every morning and evening. If anyone has a fever, they must immediately go to the medical station for isolation and observation."

"Yes, during the quarantine observation period, if the body temperature does not rebound for more than three days after the fever subsides, the quarantine can be temporarily lifted and you can return to the hive." The medical officer added.

Someone suddenly shouted, "The person living next door to me has had a fever for many days."

As he finished speaking, others also spoke up: "When I went to get food today, I heard the person in line behind me say that his son-in-law also had a fever."

"The family living at No. 54, Block D, Nest C, has a young son with a fever."

"Fuck! My little son went to the medical center for a checkup a few days ago and stayed there for a few days before coming back. The doctor said it was just a cold. What the hell are you talking about?"

"… I don't know. It's always a good idea to be vigilant."

This was a major event concerning the appearance of zombies in the hive, and everyone began racking their brains to recall if there was anyone around them with a fever, and looked at each other vigilantly.

However, it was said in the initial broadcast that those with cold symptoms should stay in their rooms and be examined by medical soldiers, so those who were reported now stayed in their respective rooms and were not in the square.
