The Scavengers

Before 6:19 pm on June [-]

Walking out of the stairwell, Xiao Mo saw the previous census takers ringing the doorbell of a building downstairs.

The other party noticed him, Xiao Mo nodded to them.

Xue Lihong whispered to Xiao Mo: "Have you noticed? One of the armed policemen is holding a heat tester. You can tell if there is anyone alive at home."

"Can it be detected at the door?"

Xue Lihong nodded.

"Then why did another armed policeman walk around our room?" Xiao Mo wondered.

"The two of them are holding different instruments."

"Oh? Then what the hell is the guy running around our house testing?"

"I just glanced at it, and it felt like a metal detector." Xue Lihong replied.

metal detector?Isn't it enough to just check the metal content in the air?Xiao Mo thought of the actions of the census takers who rummaged through boxes and cabinets, perhaps they were not just looking at food storage?

Xiao Mo suddenly thought of the diary with an exaggerated title that he had seen before.

Alloy particles?

Are they looking for this?

Alloy particles... carbon-based synthetic metal viruses... in between?

"System, will patients with carbon-based synthetic metal virus have some kind of sequelae after recovery, such as producing alloy particles from the body? What is the use of this alloy particle? Why is there such a weird virus?" Xiao Mo asked in a low voice. system way.

"Non-related tasks..."

"You can shut up!"

Another thing is, if it was a metal detector, why didn't the armed police find all kinds of tools and small metal parts in Xue Lihong's bag when he passed by Xue Lihong?

Xiao Mo suddenly wanted to snatch the small backpack that the child had been carrying around to take a look.It was just two days before and after (in his consciousness), why did so many strange things happen around him?Could it be that the system in his brain is also related to the child, maybe it was the child who got it on him, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?

It seemed that there were only the two of them in the community, and it was extremely quiet.

Xiao Mo stopped thinking about it, and drove out of his Ford sedan from the underground parking lot. Xue Lihong sat in the assistant's seat, and the two of them drove all the way to the door, only to find that the property guard was still there.

"Brother Xiao, get out." The young guard walked out of the guard box and said.

Xiao Mo, who was anxious to find Li Xiaoshuang, had to stop the car and saw, yo, he was still an acquaintance.It was that day that he reminded the doorman who snapped up the food in advance, but now he had a mask on his face.

Xiao Mo pressed down on the car window, "Well, go out and get relief food." Then he shifted to the first gear and was about to leave, when the guard suddenly called him again.

"Brother Xiao, you have to be careful with your children. Many people are not in the right mood these days."

Xiao Mo didn't pay much attention when he heard this sentence. It's normal for people to be in a bad mood when encountering such a large-scale infectious disease.As long as he was careful, he thought.

Seeing that he didn't care, the guard stepped forward and pressed his car window, and once again solemnly warned: "Brother Xiao, you must be careful."

Xiao Mo simply ceased fire, "Be careful of what?" No wonder the guard would suddenly complain to him, what he wanted to say should be the phrase "be careful", right?

The guard bit his lip and looked outside the gate, "Someone is spreading bad rumors."

"What rumour?"

"A doomsday rumor."

Xiao Mo was stunned, "Do you believe in such rumors?"

However, only one area was closed, and such rumors spread?Is this too exaggerated?It is not that the country did not experience large-scale epidemics at the time. At that time, quarantine was carried out everywhere, and no one said that the end of the world was coming. At most, white vinegar and Banlangen were sold out.

"I don't believe it, but I also think this infectious disease is really scary."

"Even if it's true, we can't mess it up. Otherwise, it's not the end of the world, it's the end of the world." Xiao Mo smiled and comforted himself by the way.

"I know that." The guard puffed up his chest, "We must be united at critical times. Unity is strength. When it is more dangerous, you must be calm. You must not believe in rumors, and you must not get confused. You must obey orders from top to bottom."

"What's your name, little brother?"

"Miangui's surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Qiao."

Xiao Mo simply asked Ding Qiao about the changes in the past few days, and he probably knew what had happened before he started the car and left.

When driving out of the gate, he paid special attention and found a few punks wandering around the gate.

When those people saw Xiao Mo coming out, and saw a child sitting beside him, their eyes lit up.

"From now on without me, don't run around." Xiao Mo whispered to Xue Lihong.

Xue Lihong nodded to express her understanding.

Finally, Liangoule Supermarket has gained some popularity.

In the square in front of the supermarket, there is a special place for distributing relief food, and there are still many police officers on patrol. Xiao Mo drove the car into the parking lot honestly, parked the car, and walked back to the square with the child.

After coming out, he immediately called out the map from his mind to look for Li Xiaoshuang, and found that she was also nearby.

where is she?

People passing by Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong couldn't help but look at them, even the policemen on duty in the square swept them a few times.

Xiao Mo wondered, what are they looking at?Is there any difference between him and Xue Lihong?

The mission target on the map was moving, Xiao Mo's eyes turned to the team receiving the relief food.

Probably the peak time for receiving relief food has passed, and there are very few people who came to line up. Xiao Mo looked at it for a while, and then his eyes fell on a long-haired young woman in the middle of the line.

That young woman looks very normal, she can't be called beautiful, she is delicate and delicate, but her expression seems to be a little anxious?

Xiao Mo took the child to the end of the line.

In such an occasion, it is impossible for him to rush up and kill a girl in public, let alone he doesn't want to kill anyone at all.

If you call the police, where is the evidence?What about sources of information?

The team moved forward slowly, and Xiao Mo was thinking about how to contact her without scaring the other party.

Li Xiaoshuang had finished collecting her things, but instead of going home, she went into the supermarket with her things again.

Xiao Mo took the child and left the line immediately, avoiding the eyes of the police, and walked quickly towards the supermarket. When he reached the door, he was about to take out the steel pipe from his shopping bag when the child suddenly said to him: "Here's for you, better than you." That steel pipe works."

The child took down the small backpack, took out something from it and handed it to Xiao Mo, and told him how to use it in detail.
