The Scavengers

Dried pork, chocolate, toffee, dry-cut bread... whatever the man can find and eat immediately, let him eat quickly.

Xue Lihong stared at the pile of packaging waste that quickly appeared on the kitchen countertop and on the ground, recalling previous memories in her brain, looking for similar examples, and quickly analyzing and comparing them after finding them.

According to his analysis, this person's current situation is actually reasonable.

In the early morning of the 17th, if the lesions on this person's body were normal, even if he hadn't died at this time, he would have been lying in the hospital and turned into a vegetative state with all his bones broken and his skin cracked.

However, the man woke up after lying down for two and a half days. After waking up, everything was as usual, and his body was still very healthy on the surface.

Such a speed of healing can only show that the cells of this person's body have undergone an almost inconceivable rapid division and growth process in the past two and a half days.

Excessive cell division will inevitably lead to a large amount of energy consumption in the body. Then, a man starts eating and drinking more than two hours after waking up, and he is also replenishing himself with excessive energy consumption. This seems reasonable in theory.

But actually...

In fact, human beings can neither heal immediately after that level of "injury", nor can they make up for everything afterwards only by eating and drinking.

and so……

Therefore, even if the injection he gave the man was the only special nutritional injection in the world with excellent effects, it was impossible to cause this miracle of healing.

Speaking of which, it cannot be called a nutritional injection, because its job is to torture prisoners, and it is to torture prisoners with strong mental strength and excellent willpower.

People who are injected with this injection will remain physically paralyzed for fifteen days, but their minds will be abnormally awake, and it will make you sleepy and unable to fall asleep.

And during these fifteen days, you don't have to worry about any malnutrition in your body at all, because some ingredients contained in this injection can completely provide the energy consumption of an adult strong man for half a month, making you want to You can't die.

Just imagine, if you are injected with this injection, and then put into an extremely small and closed space, where you cannot move your limbs, including any muscle in your body, but your consciousness is abnormal, and you spend half a month like this.And in this half month, no matter how scared and tired you are, you will not be able to sink into the arms of the sleeping god...

Of course, in addition to mental torture, this thing can also be used for first aid in emergencies, especially suitable for maintaining physical strength and vitality in certain desperate situations.

He got this thing in the first place just in case, never thought that it would be used on completely irrelevant people, and he was still in that state.

At that time, he had no choice but to inject Xiao Mo with this injection, he couldn't watch the other party hurt himself in a crazy state.To keep him from harming himself, but also to give him enough energy to resist the virus, this injection was the best choice he could think of at the time, given the lack of time.

At present, it seems that his choice should not be wrong.

Although, after the injection entered the man's body, the effect was not particularly good. It neither kept the man immobilized for [-] days, nor kept him awake for [-] days, but its nutritional content still played a certain role. utility.

Xue Lihong shrugged, and thought a little irresponsibly: Anyway, he is a technician and not a doctor, and it is normal for a little deviation in the medication, as long as the result is good, then there is no problem.

After taking into account the possible effects of this special nutritional injection and conducting a detailed analysis, the little Xuelihong finally came to the conclusion that Xiao Mo's body had already produced some kind of abnormality under the infection of this new type and unknown virus. Change.

Otherwise... This person is already strangled to death, otherwise he would also have a perforated stomach.However, seeing that he is still jumping up and down looking for food after eating, it is obvious that this person's physical condition is no longer within the scope of normal people.

Xiao Mo's change, coupled with what he observed outside the past two days, it seems that this big trouble is really, really much more troublesome than some big troubles that happened in the past.

Well, that's actually quite interesting.Little Xuelihong felt that she had a little urge to continue living.

"Xiao Hong, where is the braised meat that I bought earlier?" Xiao Mo opened the refrigerator and took out a glass bowl covered with plastic wrap, peeled off the plastic wrap, directly dug out the solidified meat oil inside with his fingers, and wiped it into his mouth.

Xue Lihong had a thick nerve, and she didn't have the slightest aversion to this nickname, so she answered him very calmly: "Eat."

Xiao Mo's expression was extremely bitter. He never knew that hunger could be so uncomfortable. No wonder there were people who were so hungry that they could change food. Now he has a deep understanding that people can do anything if they can't eat enough. .Now he is drooling just looking at the little hairs on his legs!

Shaking his head, and quickly getting this thought out of his mind, Xiao Mo took out the fresh-keeping box from the refrigerator and dumped all the vegetables inside on the kitchen countertop.

"Do me a favor and wash these dishes for me, I'm going to burn them all tonight."

"Okay." Xue Lihong didn't have the squeamishness of children of the same age at all, she did what she was asked to do, and readily agreed, moved the small bench by the wall to the front of the pool, climbed onto the small bench and began to help.He not only washed the vegetables, but also peeled the potatoes diligently.

Xiao Mo patted the child's head to express his praise, and decided in his heart that he must save some braised beef from his mouth for the child, but the poor child had read it several times.

Wash rice, cook rice, cut vegetables, cook vegetables.

The speed of Xiao Mo's hands was astonishingly fast, and he turned on the two burners together, cooking vegetables and stewing meat in a pressure cooker at the same time.

He also knew that there must be something wrong with his current situation, but he couldn't suppress the feeling of hunger no matter what.If it wasn't for him being a little rational, he would have buried his head in a rice bucket and eaten it raw.Even the frozen raw meat, he wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.

Part of the frozen beef that had been thawed in the pool just now melted, and the red blood was rippling in the plastic bag, and a faint smell of iron rust entered Xiao Mo's nostrils.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath, it smells so good, I really want to eat it.

The seductive smell of rust and iron became more and more intense, "Pound, thump, thump" Xiao Mo felt that he heard a strong pulse beating sound, following the strong pulse beating sound, Xiao Mo looked at the footsteps on the small The child on the bench.

So small, so tender, so fresh, it's sure to be delicious...  

Wipe away the saliva, it's over, he now sees that the child is getting more and more delicious. "Slap!" Xiao Mo slapped himself on the head.

Xue Lihong glanced at him strangely.

Xiao Mo returned to the stove with a big stride, he wanted to stay away from the source of temptation.

While cooking and eating, Xiao Mo almost didn't care about the taste of the cooking, he only picked the fast ones and cooked two dishes first.In just half an hour after the food was cooked, he had already eliminated all the high-calorie stored food he had bought before.

Xue Lihong stood on the small bench and reminded him, "Remember to get the relief food, and we have to buy more food to stock up."

Xiao Mo let out a "hmm" to show that he knew that he really wanted to eat steak now, and it would be best if it was only medium rare.

After eating a big pot full of rice, three catties of braised pork, and a big pot of mixed fish meat balls and vegetables, Xiao Mo heaved a sigh of relief, touching his stomach and finally feeling the truth that he was still alive feel.

"Full?" Xue Lihong didn't eat anything, she was full just looking at it.

Xiao Mo shook his head, "It's almost there. You said that the supermarket is still open? Then let's go shopping in the supermarket later."

He still wants to eat, but the beef is still stewing in the pot.

"It is open, but there are very few people in the past. Everyone is afraid of infectious diseases, especially those who are still healthy. Even the salespersons there have been replaced by volunteers. Now the whole blockade is still serving outside are healthy volunteers I heard that the welfare benefits given to volunteers by the government are very high.”

"No matter what, we have to go there, and bring back our relief food by the way." Xiao Mo decided to store up more food this time, but he couldn't guarantee that his appetite would not be so strong in the future.

Thinking of eating as much as today every day in the future... Xiao Mo shuddered, if this was the case, he would probably have to undergo surgery to remove his stomach or suppress his appetite, otherwise he would definitely not be able to support himself.

"Ring bell bell."

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong who were about to go out looked at each other.Who will come at this time?

Xiao Mo walked to the gate, picked up the answering phone, and asked, "Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, we are the census team of the sixth district in the south of the disease center, and we want to go to your home to confirm whether there are any patients infected with the disease in the household."

coming!The acute infectious disease is so severe this time, it will be a matter of time to check the patients at home, but I didn't expect the people from the disease center to come so soon.

For some reason, Xiao Mo didn't want these people to come to the house, so he just said on the phone: "No one in our family is infected with the disease."

"Sir, please understand that we need to go to your home to check whether there is one or not. Could you please cooperate? Thank you for supporting our work." The person who spoke was very polite and his tone was very gentle. Like a trained operator.

Xiao Mo was silent for a while, pressed the switch, opened the door downstairs, and hung up the answering phone.

Without waiting for Xiao Mo's instructions, Xue Lihong said beside him: "I won't tell them that you're sick and you're fine again."

Xiao Mo glanced at the child and patted his head.

"Do you like touching children's heads?"

"What? Ah, haha!" Xiao Mo laughed loudly, took the child casually, rubbed his little soft hair carelessly, and said with a smile: "Yes, the child's head is best touched, my brother is grown up now Don't let me touch it anymore, even my baby Duoduo is very reluctant to be touched on the head now."

Xue Lihong said seriously: "Brother, don't you know that a man's head and a woman's waist are places that cannot be touched."

"That's an adult, children don't count. It's strange..." Xiao Mo suddenly put away his smiling face, and said to the child with a puzzled expression: "Our house is on the seventh floor, and the first and second floors are merchants. It stands to reason that they should start from the third floor." May I ask you? If they were the first to ring the doorbell on the third floor, why are they still outside the downstairs door now?"

"There are two possibilities." The child held up two fingers, "One, they plan to ask from the seventh floor, so the first one to ring is the doorbell on the seventh floor. Second, no one from the residents on the third floor to the sixth floor heard it. The doorbell rings, or nobody opens the door for them."

Xiao Mo denied it without even thinking about it: "The second is impossible. There are eight families living in the third floor to the sixth floor, and it is impossible for one family to be empty."

Xue Lihong thought of the two days of observation, but said nothing.

Xiao Mo stared at the child in disbelief, "Is there really no one left?"

"At least for the past two and a half days, I haven't seen any living people other than me come out of this building."

"Impossible! Even if the people who went to work on the evening of the 16th didn't have time to come back, but as far as I know, there are old people and children at home on the third and sixth floors, and the outsiders who rented at 402 on the fourth floor also because their wives are about to give birth. Every day at home with my wife, these people must be at home."

"Maybe they all went to the first aid station, maybe someone like you has been sleeping for days and hasn't woken up yet."

"Yes, yes, it must be so."

While the two were talking, a different doorbell rang.

The visitors had already climbed up to the seventh floor and came outside their house.

As soon as the door opened, the person outside took a quick step back.

"Hello, we are the staff of the census team of the disease center, thank you for your support and cooperation in our work."

Outside the door, a middle-aged man in a one-piece uniform forced a professional smile on his face, showed the work card with the words "Disease Center", and said nervously to Xiao Mo who came to open the door.

Behind him was a medical worker in a white coat and two armed policemen.All four of them, without exception, were wearing full-body protective suits and helmets with transparent visors.

The medical staff member was the farthest from the door, and the two armed policemen stared nervously at Xiao Mo with batons in their hands, as if they were ready to pounce on him anytime and anywhere to suppress him.

"Hi, you've worked hard." Xiao Mo turned his eyes and said politely, intentionally or unintentionally turning his body to one side, blocking the man's gaze from looking inside.

Inside the house, Xue Lihong was quickly putting the tools and parts on the sofa and coffee table into the small backpack.

Probably Xiao Mo looked normal, and the enumerator's expression relaxed a little.

Xiao Mo didn't understand why these people seemed so nervous.

The man took a small step forward.

"Excuse me, do you live alone here?" The man found that he couldn't see the inside of the house, so he had to pick up the record folder first and start asking.

"Yes, I live here alone."

The man's pen tip paused slightly: "Do you remember the census a few days ago? You also filled in a child in your information."

"Oh, you said Xiaohong, he is my friend's child, and he is staying with me temporarily for the past two days." Xiao Mo said very naturally.

Before opening the door, he had considered whether to tell the truth about the child's origin, but he changed his mind as soon as the door was opened.He didn't think it was a good idea to tell these overwrought census takers that the child's origin was unknown under the current special circumstances.

"Then where is your friend now?"

Xiao Mo frowned: "Aren't you here to check if anyone is sick? Where does my friend and his wife have anything to do with you?"

"Hehe," the man laughed awkwardly, "just asking. How is the health of the two of you? Have you felt unwell these days?"

"No, we are all fine, we just found that the outside situation is not very good."

"You haven't gone out these days?"

"No, we didn't dare to go out because of the bad situation."

"Didn't go to receive relief supplies?"

"I'm going to pick it up, but I have children at home, so I'm not at ease. I plan to wait until the situation gets better in the past two days before going out."

The man saw that Xiao Mo's answers were impeccable, and that he looked very healthy, and his expression didn't look like he was hiding anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Can you ask the children to come out and do a simple inspection with you? It's very simple, and it won't take you long."

Xiao Mo turned his head and called Xue Lihong, and then asked anxiously: "What's going on? Is it some new type of virus? Can it be treated? Can we go to the city? When can we resume normal life?"

The man signaled the medical staff to come up for a routine inspection, and said perfunctorily: "Please rest assured, the virus has been controlled, and there is a treatment plan, but, just to be prudent, this area needs to be isolated for a while."

"About how long?" Xiao Mo asked.

"This... There will be a notice on the top, you can just wait at ease. It shouldn't be long." The man showed a comforting smile to Xiao Mo.

The medical staff stepped forward and signaled Xiao Mo to put a test strip into his mouth.

Xiao Mo acted according to his words, and when he took out the test paper, he asked casually: "What kind of test is this?"

"See if the amount of metal in your body exceeds the standard." The medical staff probably received instructions and did not conceal the purpose of the test.

"Metal? Is the virus poisoned by heavy metals this time?"

"Heh, your reaction is really fast." The medical staff praised him.

"But there is no paper factory near us, and there is no such thing as a dangerous chemical factory." Xiao Mo asked suspiciously.

"So we're looking for the source of the virus."

Xue Lihong came over with a small backpack on her back, the medical staff took the test strips and signaled him to open his mouth, Xue Lihong hugged Xiao Mo's thigh and refused.

Xiao Mo smiled and said that the child was afraid of strangers, so when he got the test paper, he looked down at the child.

The child raised his head and opened his mouth obediently.

Watching the child lick the test paper wet, Xiao Mo returned the test paper to the medical staff.

Because it is just a simple test, the results come out quickly.In less than 5 minutes, the medical staff told their companions that there is no problem with one big one and one small one.

Xiao Mo thought that the inspection was over at this point, but who would have thought that the medical staff took out an electronic thermometer and asked to take the temperature of the two of them.

"What's going on here?" Xiao Mo asked with a slightly impatient expression.

The man on the side stepped forward and replied: "Oh, this is to see if the two of you have ever been infected with the virus."

Xiao Mo was startled, and asked tentatively: "Didn't all the infected people go to the hospital? Wouldn't they have died if they stayed at home?"

"Some of them are indeed like this, but there are also some people who can recover without medicine after surviving the pain of the disease because of their relatively strong immune system."

"Isn't that a good thing? Why check?"

"This is to prevent a second attack, so it is necessary to register those who have not registered."

Xiao Mo didn't know what was going on with him either, a strange intuition made him not want to tell others about his illness and recovery, especially these census workers.

"Mr. Xiao, have you ever been unwell before, and now you've recovered?" Following the man's question, the atmosphere at the door suddenly became tense.

"Uh, I don't know if it's like what you said." Xiao Mo slowed down his speech, thinking of countermeasures quickly in his mind. Lying is definitely not acceptable. He has a record of taking medicine in a community hospital, as long as someone is interested. It can be found out. Instead of lying now to make them suspect later, it is better to tell the truth...

Before Xiao Mo could figure out how to explain it, the child who had been hugging his thigh suddenly said, "Uncle Xiao had a fever a few days ago, I'm really worried about him, Uncle, can you take care of him?"

"Oh? Really? It's just a fever?" The man and the medical staff stared closely at Xiao Mo's expression.

"Yes, it's just a fever. But it's cured now." Xiao Mo didn't understand Xue Lihong's purpose when he said he had a fever, but he followed his words.

When Xue Lihong heard his last sentence, she couldn't help but want to bite him: Idiot, there is no tacit understanding at all!

"No other symptoms?" The man looked at the child deliberately when he asked this sentence.

"No. My fever should be caused by a fever and cold. Before our community was quarantined, I didn't feel well, but it should be just a common cold. Hehe, look, it just happened to be a coincidence, and I scared myself half to death. The reason why I dare not go out in the sky is because I am afraid that I will be infected." The more Xiao Mo spoke, the more slippery he became, and the calmer he became.

The man noticed that the child had a shy look on his face, and he would avoid his eyes when he looked at him, but there was nothing else, and he didn't have any special expression after hearing Xiao Mo's words.

"Whether it is a fever caused by this virus infection, we will know by taking the temperature now."

The man also couldn't tell whether Xiao Mo was telling the truth or a lie, because such coincidences as Xiao Mo said were not without exception.And if Xiao Mo was really infected by the virus, then the tragic appearance of the disease will definitely leave a deep impression on the children around him.

Adults can hide expressions and lie, but can such a small child?

"Can you tell by this temperature measurement?"

"Currently, we have found that people who have recovered will have a high body temperature within 24 hours." The medical staff replied.

Xiao Mo was a little worried, he hadn't been awake for more than 24 hours.

Xue Lihong hugged his thigh tightly.Xiao Mo's body temperature was indeed a bit high. He said that he had a fever just to cover up the situation, but this idiot actually said that he was cured, what should he do now?

Xiao Mo watched helplessly as the thermometer got closer to his neck.This is a more popular contact thermometer in recent years. It only needs to touch any skin for 1 minute to get a very accurate temperature value.

"Then it won't be visible after 24 hours?" Xiao Mo was at a loss for words.In my heart, I was chanting frantically: To be normal, it must be normal!

"That's right. So we must hurry up and check as much as we can."

"I think you went straight up to our seventh floor. Have you checked the residents downstairs? Are they all right?"

The man glanced at the medical staff, as if hesitating whether to talk to Xiao Mo.

The medical staff said: "I suggest that you should not visit relatives and friends during this period, let alone go to other people's homes casually. This is to avoid secondary infection and for the sake of your health."

"Of course, I will pay attention."

"As for the residents downstairs, most of them are in the hospital now, and a small number of them should still be at home, but we cannot contact them." The man paused, "We will record the residents who cannot be contacted. Afterwards, other relevant personnel will come to check."

"Is that so..." Xiao Mo thinks about it, if someone really died at home, it is impossible to let the corpse rot at home, someone must come to deal with it.

The sound of "beep" sounded, and the medical staff took away the thermometer and looked at the display screen.

The more nervous Xiao Mo was, the more relaxed his expression became, and the smile on his face deepened little by little, and he nodded to the two armed policemen who had been stern.

"36.3 degrees is a normal value." The answer of the medical staff relieved everyone present.

Xue Lihong felt strange, when he hugged this person's thigh, he could clearly feel that the person's body temperature was on the high side, why did it drop all of a sudden now?

In the end, Xuelihong passed the body temperature test smoothly.

Xiao Mo thought he could finally send these Buddhas away, but who knows...

"Excuse me, can we go into your house and take a look? We just want to check the air value to see if there is any virus left. It will be over soon."

It seemed that this census was really strict, and Xiao Mo was powerless to stop it, so he could only invite four people into the house.

====================

As soon as the man and medical staff entered the room, they began measuring the metal levels in the air.

One of the two armed police officers went around every room.

Xiao Mo noticed that the armed policeman who was circling around the room also had a small instrument in his hand, and he didn't know what he was checking.

The armed police also circled around them specially.

Like an ordinary child, Xue Lihong looked curiously on tiptoe when the armed police passed by.

The armed police didn't stop him, seeing him as a child, they smiled at him.

Xue Lihong also showed him a shy smile.

The armed police seemed to want to reach out and touch the child's head, but held back.

The armed policeman walked away, the census taker walked into the kitchen, Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong followed him with their gazes, and at the same time they shouted in their hearts: This is not good!

really.

The man in charge of the inspection turned around and stared at Xiao Mo almost as soon as he entered the kitchen, and asked, "There's a lot of rubbish. I can't tell that the two of you ate quite a lot."

Xiao Mo smiled, and patted the head of the child beside him, "Haven't we not been out these few days, no, the garbage has also accumulated."

"Really?" The man didn't care if what Xiao Mo said was true or not, and wrote the line "found a lot of garbage such as food bags and food packaging boxes" in the remarks column under Xiao Mo's name.

He didn't know why the higher-ups not only asked them to check whether there were hidden patients and illnesses in each household, but also to pay attention to the food consumption of each household.But since he asked for it, he naturally had to act according to the request.

The man said "sorry" to Xiao Mo, and began to look through the open and dark cabinets.

Xiao Mo really wanted to ask him if this complied with the regulations, but the man said, "We are checking the source of the virus, there is nothing hidden in your house," which blocked what Xiao Mo wanted to say.

The other three also joined in the search.

Xiao Mo felt that they didn't seem to be looking for the source of the virus, but instead seemed to be confirming the food storage situation at his home.Because, if you just check for heavy metal leakage, you only need to look at the air value, and there is no need to rummage through such cabinets.

Xiao Mo unconsciously clenched Xue Lihong's little hand.

Xue Lihong stepped on him.

Xiao Mo lowered his head to look at the child, and when he came to his senses, he quickly let go of his hand and comforted him: "Sorry, I didn't notice."

Xue Lihong looked at her little red paw that was being held, and shook her hand wordlessly.

Xiao Mo quickly grabbed his hand to check the situation, and then squatted down and blew several times.

Xue Lihong thought, what about this person coaxing the child?

Xiao Mo said guiltily: "I'm sorry, does it hurt? Let me rub it for you." As he spoke, he gently kneaded the child's little hand.

After kneading, he discovered that the child's hands were not only less fleshy, but also had several calluses on the fingers and palms.

If you don't look at the child or the size of the hand, he will definitely think that this is the hand of a blue-collar worker, and it is the kind of front-line worker who works very hard and often uses various tools.

He also has calluses on his hands, but not as many as children.

Xiao Mo looked at the child, with a bit of distress naturally in his eyes.Now which children's hands are not fleshy, soft and tender?Even the children in the orphanage don't have such hands.If it was his child, he would be reluctant to let the child suffer so much.

The child silently stretched out his other hand and pressed the man's head.

"..." Xiao Mo was confused, kid, what does this mean?

"Cough, Mr. Xiao, thank you for your cooperation. If you have anything to do, you can contact the police and civil affairs officers in the quarantine area."

"Oh, have you finished the inspection?" Xiao Mo got up and let go of the child's hand.

The child suddenly raised his right hand and looked at it.

The man said that the inspection was over.

Xiao Mo looked at the expressions of the four census takers and couldn't see what was going on. He didn't know whether he had passed the test or not.

"Let's walk slowly." Xiao Mo sent the four out of the door.

The man was polite, and reiterated again that Xiao Mo should not go to other people's homes casually, nor leave the isolation area.And told him not to worry, let alone follow others' advice and so on.

Xiao Mo expressed his knowledge one by one.

Xue Lihong stood behind Xiao Mo, staring at her right hand again and again.

Finally seeing off the four Buddhas, Xiao Mo heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door and turned around: "What are you looking at?" He felt a little hungry again.

The child put down his palm, "It's nothing. Shall we go to the supermarket later?"

"Yes. Let's go now." Xiao Mo took the child downstairs to the supermarket as originally planned, and this time he didn't forget to bring out the trash as well.

When going downstairs, Xiao Mo noticed that another armed policeman was holding the small instrument and stopped at the door of every house for a long time.

The two sides greeted each other politely and passed by.

Walking out of the stairs, Xue Lihong whispered to Xiao Mo: "The armed policeman is holding a heat energy tester. You can see 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? What the hell is that guy circling around our house doing?"

"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?

etc!If it was a metal detector, why didn't the armed policeman find all kinds of tools and small metal parts in his 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.

====================

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

Xiao Mo did not drive a car, but drove out the electric tricycle, Xue Lihong sat beside Xiao Mo, and the two 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 stopped the car and took a look, yo, acquaintance.It was the doorman who went to buy food in advance because of his reminder that day, but now he has a mask on his face.

"Well, go out to get relief food. What's your name, little brother?"

"Miangui's surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Qiao." Ding Qiao pulled down his mask and smiled.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked sensitively.

"Brother Xiao, you don't know..." Ding Qiao scratched his head, with a distressed expression on his face, "This infectious disease is really a disaster! Alas, our company is also unlucky. Many communities and company property managers within a radius of ten miles Our company is responsible for it all. It’s all right now, a large piece of it fell down, and two of our Shannan Jiayuan’s security guards died. The others are now lying in the hospital. Only me and Zhou An are left here. It’s been fine. The boss asked us to stick to our posts as much as possible during the quarantine period, saying that we would try our best to compensate us in the future, and he also came here from Haifeng City, the company’s headquarters, to preside over the overall situation. But I’m still worried, so many people died and got sick, What will our company do in the future? Our boss is benevolent, if everyone asks him for compensation, he will have to close the company even if he doesn’t want to.” Ding Qiao was probably worried, and when he caught a familiar person who was willing to talk, he said with a sad face A big pass.

"Yeah, this is really bad luck." Xiao Mo also smiled wryly, "But this time the death was due to a virus infection, and your boss should not need to pay compensation legally. As long as you survive this period, the company can continue to operate. .”

Ding Qiao shook his head: "If it's for others, our boss might be able to be ruthless. But many brothers in our company are rural veterans he recruited from the army. I'm afraid we don't need those family members to make trouble, our boss will take the initiative to propose compensation."

"Your boss is also a retired soldier?"

"Yes. Our boss is amazing. Before retiring, he had been in the frontline field army. He was originally an engineer. Later, because of his excellent skills, excellent performance, and excellent physical fitness, he participated in the trial training of the field special forces and passed it once! "Ding Qiao was full of admiration.

"You were an engineer too?"

"Hehe, I'm not. I'm just an ordinary two-year conscript. My physical training is mediocre, and I haven't made a name for myself. If it wasn't for our boss, I would probably be farming at home by now, or moving bricks at some construction site. Ding Qiao was ashamed at first, and then praised how their boss took care of them, these rural veterans who had no connections and no funds, and said that the salary and benefits were good, and the boss invested most of the money he earned in them. On the body and the like.

"Don't worry." Xiao Mo patted Ding Qiao on the shoulder, "From your tone, your company should not be small. Since your boss can carry such a large company, he should have thought about all kinds of risks. As for Compensation... As long as your boss pays you all the various insurances stipulated by the state, your colleagues can be counted as work-related injury insurance."
