"Get more water, biscuits, cans, and food that is easy to preserve. It's best to get more soybeans and mung beans. You can sprout bean sprouts when there is a shortage of vegetables. I'll watch it for you, and you go get a car." Xue Lihong remind him.
Xiao Mo had the idea that these things wouldn't break easily after he bought them home, so he asked Xue Lihong to look at the car while he grabbed another shopping cart and came back.
This time he not only took a few bags of soybeans and mung beans, but also grabbed a bunch of biscuits, wafers, rice pudding, beef jerky, meat floss, canned fish, ham sausage, milk powder, chocolate, toffee, and mineral springs that he rarely bought. Water, etc., and two boxes of instant noodles.
When checking out, the supermarket was already packed with people.
It was already 19:40 in the evening.
The two of them waited in line for a long time before they finished paying and walked out of the supermarket. When Xiao Mo went out, he saw many people rushing to the supermarket.
Seeing that it was getting late, the man was too lazy to go home and make a meal, so he went directly to the fried chicken fast food restaurant on the first floor of the supermarket and packed up a lot of fried chicken, burgers and French fries, and also bought milkshakes that children like to drink.
I drove back to Shannan Jiayuan, but when I entered, I was stopped by the doorman and praised wildly.
"Brother Xiao, you still have the foresight. Just now, my colleague called the supermarket and said that it was crowded with people and that rice and instant noodles were out of stock. Fortunately, you reminded me that I went to buy some things during my break. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to buy it right now.”
Xiao Mo raised the corner of his mouth and wanted to ask him if he knew about the isolation, but he swallowed the words as soon as he reached his lips. Things that even the local police don’t know yet, I’m afraid they won’t even know.
Get everything upstairs, it's past eight o'clock.
Xiao Mo rushed the child to the bathroom to take a bath and told him how to use toiletries and faucets. As soon as he said he would help him wash, the child kicked him out.
Xiao Mo turned on the air conditioner with a smile he didn't know he had, put fried chicken nuggets, burgers and other food on the table, and waited for the children to come out for dinner.
At this time outside the isolation zone.
There are more and more stranded people who want to go home and do not want to go to temporary settlements.
The police have increased their presence again and again.
"what happened?"
"That's right! Stop lying to us! Why does a health inspection require quarantine? Just tell the truth! My child is still at home alone!" The man who shouted was so anxious that his eyes were red.
"Are we looking for criminals? Or is there an infectious disease outbreak somewhere? Tell us!" The stranded people became more and more excited.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Someone raised a loudspeaker, "I am Dr. Wang from the disease center. I can now clearly inform you that a new type of influenza virus broke out in Xinxinjiayuan. In order to prevent this virus from spreading, For the health and lives of the general public, we can only temporarily isolate the area. Please understand."
Everyone was shocked, and the noisy people suddenly became extremely quiet.
Dr. Wang continued to shout with a loudspeaker: "We are not not letting everyone go home, but for the sake of everyone's health. If you go back, you are likely to be infected with the new cold virus."
“Is that new cold virus lethal?”
"Yes, there have been various influenza viruses before, but there has never been such a large-scale quarantine!"
Dr. Wang was hot and nervous, and the irritability in his heart gradually became uncontrollable. “We don’t know yet whether there will be deaths. I only know that some people are unconscious, and some people are coughing up a lot of blood and cannot stop it. Others have diarrhea, angina, headaches, etc. Symptoms have appeared. md! If you don’t want to die, it’s best to stay away from the isolation zone!”
Dr. Wang's sudden foul language shocked everyone.
However, Dr. Wang's words were obviously very effective. The people who had been clamoring to go home and pass this road gradually dispersed. After all, no matter what, their own lives were still precious.
There were only a few people who had only children and elderly people at home. They were really worried. After signing a promise to bear all the consequences, they were let into the isolation zone.
At each of the 11 isolation points, doctors claiming to be disease centers appeared and shouted.
Whether they volunteered or were forced to do so, the words these doctors shouted quickly spread throughout the city.
When the first person put this matter on the Internet, a new type of influenza virus appeared in Zhongshan City, and the city's disease center was forced to establish a ten-kilometer isolation zone, and it spread across the country at an extremely fast speed.
Even at nine o'clock that night, relevant reports appeared on the local news station in Zhongshan City. Director Qian of the disease center personally came out to explain the dangers and unpredictability of this new virus, and at the same time called on outstanding doctors and researchers from all over the country to arrive as soon as possible. Zhongshan City, with its national medical resources, has developed drugs or treatments against this virus as quickly as possible.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong also saw this report.
Unlike Xiao Mo who was worried, Xue Lihong seemed to have been thinking about something.
That night at 23:45.
Xue Lihong suddenly got up from the bed, and he heard a faint moan/moan coming from next door.
… Did the man become ill too
"Ding, the time limit for the recycling task has expired. The scavenger Xiao Mo did not complete the first recycling task. The progress of the task is zero, and the system determines that a level three punishment will be imposed."
"Hmm!" Xiao Mo wanted to ask, but the pain had taken away all his attention.
This kind of indescribable neuralgia, which seemed like something was biting deep in the bones, as if there was a huge pressure expanding inside the bones, and at the same time the surface of the bones was being scratched with a file... spread all over his body instantly.
He always felt that the pain was so painful that moaning was a bit exaggerated, and the pain was so painful that screaming was unimaginable, because he had never suffered this crime.
now…
By the time the first moan came out of his mouth, he could no longer stop the mouthpiece from going against his will. Later, let alone controlling the moan, he didn't even know what he was doing.
Waves of more severe pain completely overwhelmed him.
Xue Lihong opened the door with her small backpack on her back and pressed the sheepskin light switch on the roof.
The room was suddenly enveloped in warm light, and the man curled up in a ball on the bed could be seen clearly.
The thin blanket that originally covered the man had fallen under the bed.
The man made a guttural sound like a trapped animal, hugged his shoulders tightly with both hands, curled his legs up to his chest, and his whole body twitched at an irregular frequency.
The air-conditioning in the room was strong, but the man was sweating profusely, and the cowhide mat underneath him reflected a clear circle of water marks.
Xue Lihong walked to the bed. He didn't speak or touch the man, but just observed silently.
suddenly! The man hugged his head and let out a piercing scream. His body suddenly bounced back, and his upper body suddenly leaned back to an incredible point.
Xue Lihong's eyes widened.
Does this person do gymnastics? But even a gymnast's body can't be this soft, right
In fact, rather than saying that this man's body is soft, it is better to say that his spine is broken from the lower back. Only in this way can the current posture of this man be explained.
Xiao Mo felt that all the bones in his body must have been broken and crushed into powder.
The great air pressure sensation was transferred from the depths of the bones to the flesh.
Xiao Mo even heard the sound of his blood vessels and skin exploding.
"Pah! Pah!"
Xue Lihong saw a blood flower exploding somewhere on the man's body who was only wearing boxer shorts.
This is just the beginning.
"Puff, puff, puff! Pah, pah, pah!" Slight explosions kept ringing.
The man's body was quickly covered with blood, and within a short time he became a bloody man.
Xiao Mo let go of his head and began to hit the center of his eyebrows with his fingers and fists.
pain! Brain-piercing pain.
This kind of pain is not like cutting with a knife, nor is it like drilling with a drill, but is an infinite amplification of the strange poking feeling that you feel when you point your fingertips or other objects at the center of your eyebrows and concentrate your energy.
The cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang, but no one bothered to answer it at this time.
The phone rang silently for a while, but then it rang again less than ten seconds later.
"Uh--! Ah!"
Xiao Mo suddenly straightened up his body and hit his head hard against the wall.
"null!"
Xue Lihong didn't hold the man back. Listening to the sound, she felt her head begin to throb.
Blood overflowed from the man's forehead, not much, but the quickly red and swollen patch was enough to show how much strength the man had just used.
Xiao Mo wanted to hit his head against the wall, but Xue Lihong quickly climbed onto the bed and hugged him tightly.
But the man was so strong that he hit the wall with the child.
At the critical moment, Xue Lihong had no choice but to take out something from her backpack with her backhand, and plunged it into the man's neck quickly and accurately.
"Chi--" The liquid in the tube was released.
"Ding! An unknown liquid was found to have invaded the scavenger's body, and the composition of the unknown liquid was analyzed..."
Xue Lihong pulled out the empty semi-metal tube, and Xiao Mo immediately relaxed and fell backward, pressing the child under him.
Xue Lihong curled her lips, pushed the man's heavy body away, and crawled out from under him. Feeling the man's breath, it was okay, there was still breath and it was very steady. Then he grabbed the flashing mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at it. He saw the word "Anjie" on the caller ID.
Not to mention, Deng Anjie, who was on the other end, was anxiously holding her cell phone. She kept asking Xiao Mo, "Why doesn't the second brother answer the phone? Is what he said on TV true?" and urged Xiao Wen to drive to the south of the city to check the situation. .
Speaking of this, Xue Lihong didn't know the internal situation of Xiao Mo's body, and Xiao Mo didn't know what Xue Lihong did to him. He only knew that just now he suddenly became unable to speak or move his hands, and his eyes were so anxious that they kept turning under his eyelids.
There is no other pain to cover the strange feeling between the eyebrows, and the abnormality between the eyebrows becomes more obvious and intense.
This abnormal feeling that was completely different from pain made him feel thousands of times more uncomfortable than pain.
If he could scream, his screams would be known to the world at this time.
If he could move, he would have unscrewed his own head, or simply split it in half.
Something seemed to be condensing between his eyebrows, and nothingness turned into reality. Xiao Mo couldn't bear it anymore. He fainted and couldn't pass out. He could only think of some messy things to distract himself.
As he thought about it, he thought of the business he was most familiar with - resource recycling.
