Railway Station-Comprehensive Conference Room
In the past, only people from the Ministry of Railways came here for meetings, but today it is crowded with important figures. All the leaders in the urban area have canceled all their schedules today and only focus on the quarantine work at the railway station.
Director Zhang, who is in charge of this railway station, can now only sit on a plastic bench in the outer circle and maintain 200% mental concentration.
After a long wait, when the quarantine work at the exit was completed, the report submitted showed that no epidemic diseases were detected.
Moreover, the root cause of the "birth incident" that occurred while the train was running could not be found.
Bang!
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the conference table slapped the steel and wood conference table so hard that it collapsed completely. Even the glass windows were completely shattered. The person in charge of the Ministry of Railways was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold back his tears.
"Today, our city received news that there was a carrier of an unknown disease on this train. Not only that, but the other party also made such a big noise while the train was running.
A local pregnant woman gave birth to a hemorrhagic baby prematurely, and the rest of the pregnant women all had strong pregnancy reactions.
Now we can’t find anything, what’s going on?”
The deputy director of the Health Bureau said with a smile, "The incident happened last night. It is entirely possible that the other party jumped out of the car and fled after the incident and has already left our city.
Since we have completed the quarantine inspection as required, we only need to fill out the report in detail and submit the relevant materials that show no disease carriers were detected.
If you are still worried, you can set up a one-week city-wide quarantine. I will arrange personnel to effectively reproduce the "statue" of our bureau and distribute it to various areas. At the same time, I will transfer more personnel from the surrounding areas to check everyone in the city one by one.
In addition, it would be even better if the police could cooperate.”
These words calmed down the middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
"Hmm~ Good suggestion. Let's proceed like this and conduct a week-long city-wide quarantine."
However, the other director who was present had a sad face.
"Our bureau is currently investigating a rather vicious random killing case. It started half a month ago, and eleven people have been killed so far.
The method is similar to that of the 'Immortal Killer' three years ago. All the victims... "
The leader raised his hand to interrupt the speech, "A certain similarity, which means they are not the same.
You should have enough manpower. It won't be a problem to allocate some of it to assist the Health Bureau, right?"
The director, however, took the serial murder case very seriously and continued his remarks, "In my opinion, the murderer's methods are better than those of the immortal killer!
All the victims, whether in crowded or sparsely populated areas, stretched out their heads before death, as if they had accepted the other party's request for beheading.
The most exaggerated case happened the day before yesterday. The incident took place at an illegally operated underground dance floor in an area where thousands of people gathered and there was sufficient light. The sound engineer in charge of the scene stuck his head out in front of everyone, and was then beheaded on the spot in front of everyone.
No one could see who did it, and the shrine at the scene did not react at all. Only a camera captured the strange yellow spots.
In my opinion, this should be a higher priority than the suspected disease carriers among us.”
When the director finished his explanation, the person at the head of the conference table stared with two pale yellow fish eyes.
At this time, the deputy director of the Health Bureau pushed his glasses and suddenly interrupted:
"Director Wang, it seems that you have become a little nervous recently because of this matter. Your thinking was not so narrow before.
I don't think this matter conflicts with the quarantine work we are going to carry out. Our two bureaus are cooperating to set up a large number of quarantine points throughout the city. We can also take this opportunity to find the murderer, right
Our inspectors from the Health Bureau are very good at observation, and they may be able to provide you with some clues."
"Okay, our bureau will fully assist in the quarantine work."
The meeting ended in a normal manner and the relevant quarantine work in the whole city began.
At the same time.
In a fried chicken shop not far away, Catherine's belly was slightly bulging. After drinking three glasses of happy water, she collapsed in her seat and burped continuously.
The huge contrast with her relatively petite and beautiful image really attracted the attention of many customers.
"William, can you pack a few buckets to go?"
"No, fried chicken doesn't taste good after a while, and I don't have much money left. I'll buy you something else to eat when we get to our destination."
"Okay, okay~"
William's mind was completely elsewhere. He was waiting the whole time for the man in yellow to find him, but half an hour passed and he didn't see even a single figure.
It seems that the other party doesn't want to meet now.
When the three got up and left the shopping mall where the fast food restaurant was located, they happened to see a group of quarantine personnel controlling the mall gate, setting up a temporary blood drawing point and placing a statue of a god holding a gourd.
"Since no carriers of the disease were found in the train station, has the inspection been expanded to the entire city? It seems that this is related to my absorption of the idol, and the matter has been blown out of proportion."
Without further ado, William hailed a taxi and prepared to head to the coast.
When the driver heard the destination given by William, he looked puzzled:
"The beach? But that's right, you guys are traveling here from abroad, right? You don't know some of the conditions here... Although it will take up some time, I will still briefly explain it to you.
The main source of income for our Linghai City is port trade, so the control over the coast is relatively strict, and many areas have built ports and are no longer open to the outside world.
There is only one famous tourist attraction, 'Flower Sea Village', that receives tourists, but it was suddenly blocked a month ago. It is said that the tourists inside angered the sea god, resulting in the deaths of a large number of tourists and even locals.
The area has not been unsealed yet and all main roads have been blocked.
I'm really sorry, there are many other places to visit in Linghai City. If you don't mind, I can take you there."
"No, thank you."
After saying goodbye to the taxi driver, William immediately used the navigation app on his mobile phone to look up the so-called Flower Sea Village, which was more than 20 kilometers away from the city center. The map software also clearly indicated that the tourist attraction had been blocked.
Just as William was considering walking or riding a bike,
An uncle wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt, with a big belly and something chewing in his mouth came over. He smelled of heavy oil and the collar of his clothes was already patinated.
"Do you three need a ride? Seeing you asking law-abiding taxi drivers, it seems like you want to go somewhere inconvenient."
"Can we go to Huahai Village? We finally came here to travel, and we don't want to miss the best coastal scenic spot in this city."
“No wonder the taxi refused to take you~ As long as the price is right, I can indeed take you there, and you can take the mountain roads and village roads without being checked.
We can only take you to the outskirts of Huahai Village at most, and you need to walk the next one or two kilometers by yourself... That place is really weird~ I have a buddy who drives a group of fearless young people there last time, but we still can't contact him."
"How much?"
"Five times the usual amount will do. After all, we are taking a risk."
William took out the only remaining hundred-dollar bill in his pocket and said, "Take this first. I'll give you the rest when we get there."
The black car driver picked his teeth with his fingers while looking at the three well-dressed foreigners, his eyes lingering on Catherine for a long time in particular.
"Okay, get in the car."
We squeezed into the dilapidated manual transmission car that was built more than ten years ago and headed towards Huahai Village.
The fat and big-eared driver kept glancing at Catherine through the rearview mirror, causing her to almost have murderous intent.
But as William took out a packaged soda, Catherine immediately calmed down and ignored the gaze... In the past, the driver would have been made into delicious fish feed.
Catherine drank water and looked out the window, her mind full of dopamine of happiness.
