17:30.
Centered on Xinxinjiayuan on Ninggu Avenue, the surrounding ten kilometers began to be closed and isolated one after another.
There are more than 37,000 people living within this ten-kilometer radius. There is also a large electronics import and export factory.
At this time, residents living in this area are not aware of this matter.
The local residents who were stuck ten kilometers away and unable to return just thought it was an ordinary traffic jam and were waiting helplessly and anxiously to be released.
Xiao Mo was driving an electric tricycle out of the vegetable market at this time. He had gone to the health center in the community and did a brief inspection. No major problems were found. Finally, he prescribed some cold and fever-reducing medicines. The results are about to come out. At this time, he was caught by a neighbor who brought his child for an injection and kept asking him about the boy who had a car accident at noon.
It seems that this matter has spread around the neighborhood.
Xiao Mo dealt with it for a long time before he was able to escape.
"Old Xiao, have you noticed that there are fewer vehicles coming and going?" Xue Lihong, who was sitting in the carriage, tugged at the hem of Xiao Mo's clothes.
Xiao Mo didn't have time to resist the child's call to him. When he heard the child say this, he immediately turned to look at Ninggu Avenue.
Indeed, Ninggu Avenue, which usually doesn't have much traffic, but never stops traffic, can't see many passing vehicles at this time, not even buses. You must know that this is the rush hour after get off work.
"I think you bought too little food." Xue Lihong kicked the plastic bag at her feet.
"This is already a week's worth. If you put more in the refrigerator, it will spoil." Xiao Mo felt that he had bought a lot, and because he had an extra person, he also bought more meat, vegetables and melons. fruit.
"According to my previous experience, during the period of troubled times, what is most lacking is all kinds of food, medicine, and weapons for self-protection. If you still have some savings, I personally suggest that you better stock up on these necessities. .”
"Hey, hey, don't make it seem more true the more you say it." Xiao Mo said to the child, feeling very excited.
"Can we carry so many things upstairs? Even these things, I have to run back and forth twice to get them all upstairs."
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer hardships before your eyes. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes."
Xiao Mo laughed, feeling that he was becoming more and more accustomed to the children's strange words.
Xiao Mo's home and his shop are in the same building, Room 701, Unit 7, Building 7. He usually comes directly from the warehouse and goes upstairs to go home.
The house was bought three years ago. At that time, he was looking for suitable properties with pavements in the suburbs because the houses in the old city were not suitable for use as resource recycling stations. He happened to pass by this building and thought that the scenery was quite good and it had development prospects. The most important thing The price was low, the shops were big enough, and it was more convenient to do resource recycling business, so I sold my old house in the city and bought it here.
Shannan Jiayuan is just one street away from the old town of Yuanjiao County. It is very convenient for shopping and life, unlike some newly developed properties in new areas that are completely deserted and populated.
At the end of last year, a large new supermarket "Liangoule" opened nearby, which is similar in size to the "Haomeiduo" in Xinxinjiayuan.
With these two large supermarkets, plus some convenience stores that open early and close late, nearby residents feel great convenience and have also changed some of the lifestyles of local old town residents, such as food storage.
The merchandise store has two floors, totaling 360 square meters. The one-time payment comes with a 20-square-meter basement for Xiao Mo.
The residential room is located on the top floor. It is said to be the top floor, but it is actually the attic. In order to make more money, Shannan Jiayuan developer turned the lofts that most developers sold at half price or gave away as ordinary commercial houses for sale.
The price of the penthouse is only half of that of other floors. After buying the shop, Xiao Mo's money on hand, deducting the decoration money, is just enough to pay the down payment for the penthouse.
There are no elevators in the buildings below the seventh floor of Shannan Jiayuan. It took the two of them two trips to move everything upstairs.
Although the child may have a strange tone, he is very diligent. Although he didn't have much strength, he still carried two packages of the lightest vegetables upstairs in a decent manner.
This made Xiao Mo find this kid much more pleasing to his eyes than before.
When I went upstairs for the last time, I happened to encounter the residents of 301 coming out.
Xiao Mo pulled the child aside and let him go first.
"Oh, it's Xiao Xiao, thank you." Because Xiao Mo drives a recycling bin, many residents in Shannan Garden know him.
"Uncle, are you going for a walk?" Xiao Mo smiled.
"No," Abo, who is still in good health in his seventies, shook his head and said, "I went to the emergency department of the community hospital for a checkup. Starting this afternoon, I have been feeling uncomfortable in my chest."
"Feeling uncomfortable in your chest is not a trivial matter. Uncle, let me take you to the hospital in the city." Xiao Mo said sincerely.
Uncle waved his hand, "No, no, it's the same old problem. Just hang a bottle of water. My son will be back in a while. If I feel really uncomfortable, just ask him to send me there. Xiao Xiao, thank you."
Seeing Uncle moving down the escalator step by step, Xiao Mo couldn't stand it for a while, so he took Xue Lihong with him, carried the old man downstairs, and drove the old man to the community hospital.
The old man still had the energy to say polite words at first, but he seemed to have lost his energy later on. Even the registration was done for him by Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo also helped him get the medicine. In the end, he sent the person to the water room and gave him the medicine again. His son called and made sure he was almost home before leaving.
The old man's son happened to enter the quarantine zone a few minutes before the quarantine, so neither of them knew the quarantine was happening when they talked on the phone.
"There are a lot of people in the emergency department tonight. It's strange that there weren't so many people here to prescribe medicine just now." Xiao Mo sighed and didn't dare to stay in the hospital longer. After finishing Uncle's business, he hurriedly took the child out.
He had asked Xue Lihong to wait outside, but the child was unwilling and insisted on going to the hospital.
While Xiao Mo was busy all the way, the child was always looking at the patients in the hospital.
Cough, fever, vomiting, swelling, and some people are coughing up blood.
Xue Lihong sniffed her nose, and there seemed to be a faint metallic smell floating in the air in the hospital.
What kind of virus is this
Xue Lihong tilted his head to think. After thinking for a long time, with his excellent memory, he finally determined that this was a new type of virus that he had never seen before.
18:15 pm.
The sun sets and darkness truly sets in.
Qian Yunkai lay in the observation ward, silent and unresponsive.
A group of doctors surrounded him and were doing various examinations on him.
Father Qian and Mother Qian stood outside the door and walked back and forth, making a hole in the ground for them.
Wang Cheng and five other criminal police officers are also under inspection.
None of the six of them have any obvious pathological reactions so far, and only one of the older ones has a headache.
"Captain Wang, we won't die, right?" Xiao Lei smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth.
"Nonsense!" Wang Cheng patted him on the head. "Don't think nonsense. I haven't heard of anyone dying yet. As long as the cause of the disease is found out, we will all be cured. And aren't we all fine now?"
"Even if you don't die, it would be terrible to become like Liu and his wife. It would be better to just die." Xiao Lei became more and more anxious.
"Comrade Huang Lei, calm down!"
Huang Lei stood up suddenly, his face flushed, and wanted to shout something at Wang Chengcheng.
"Captain Wang, my head hurts so much! I can't stand it anymore!" The older detective suddenly fell to the ground and started rolling on the ground, screaming miserably.
Wang Cheng looked pale and called the doctor repeatedly. He knew that if the pain had not been so unbearable, none of them would have screamed like this.
Huang Lei shut his mouth and swallowed the words he didn't shout. What did he want to do just now? He actually wanted to insult Team Wang and even want to hit him? Is he crazy
The changes in the criminal police made the doctors even more clueless as to what kind of virus it was and why it was so aggressive. Moreover, they were completely helpless against the virus. They can't even temporarily relieve the patient's pain!
18:25 minutes.
"We can't go on like this. There's no point in hiding it." Qian's father looked at his unconscious son in the ward and stamped his foot, "We have learned from the past and we must not make the same mistake again this time."
Mother Qian looked up at her husband with red and swollen eyes.
"Even if I lose my current official position, I will still expose the matter."
"Are you crazy? Haven't you already reported the matter?"
"Report it to report. If the authorities don't take it seriously and the city doesn't take it seriously, there won't be enough medical resources to study and solve this new virus. We must find a way to restrain the virus before it spreads on a large scale. Come!" Father Qian shouted angrily.
"Calm down..."
"How can I calm down? Our son, Yun Kai, is lying there right now! Look at those doctors, who can solve the problem? I can't just watch my son lie there until he dies. I have to find a way, I have to push More doctors are involved in this matter, the matter must be made bigger, and the higher authorities must pay attention to this matter!"
Qian's mother burst into tears. Her son, who had always been good and unconcerned, had become like this, while her husband, who had always been calm, suddenly became aggressive and irritable.
What's going on here
Father Qian stopped thinking about it and immediately took out his cell phone and started making arrangements.
Shannan Jiayuan, 18:30.
"This is your home?" Xue Lihong put on her slippers and ran around to watch curiously.
Xiao Mo also let him see.
He is quite proud of the design of his small home.
Because it is an attic, the overall usable area of the room is a bit smaller. The area above two meters is only 52 square meters. But there is a 19-square-meter terrace with a very good view outside, which is the biggest reason why Xiao Mo is willing to buy this attic house.
It is said that the living area is only fifty-two square meters, but in fact the area under two meters is not small. If the ground area is purely calculated, the total area is nearly eighty-two square meters. Including the terrace, the area is one hundred square meters.
Xiao Mo asked a friend who was an interior designer to help him plan it carefully. The entire space was used rationally. The living room and dining room were removed, except for the essential kitchen and bathroom, and two and a half rooms were separated.
Two and a half rooms, one large and one small, are bedrooms respectively. There is also a half room connected to the terrace. After the terrace is fully enclosed and renovated, this half room and more than half of the terrace become the living room and study room.
Another four square meters are separated at the front of the enclosed terrace to facilitate Xiao Mo's drying of clothes. The fifteen square meters at the back is equipped with a sunshade curtain that can be opened and connected to the half of the room.
"Well, the overall arrangement of the space is pretty good, and it doesn't make the house feel small." The child commented in an old-fashioned way.
Xiao Mo smiled. This house is a bit small, but he is only one person, and such a large suite is enough for him, even if he has multiple partners in the future, or if he has an additional child now.
