Chapter 13 Scorched Earth

The disease was so violent that many people in the village fell down.

Lin Yu took care of Chu Cheng who was comatose and had a high fever at home every day, while Lin Zhizhong went out to see those people with high fever every day, and his expression became more dignified day by day.

Lin's father and Lin's mother would also go out to help take care of all the sick people in the family, but they would carefully disinfect each time they came back—at this time, the pile of medicines that Lin Yu insisted on bringing finally worked.

People in the village also organized people to buy medicinal materials in the city, and a large number of people fell down in the city at the moment, and even the hospitals were overcrowded. Local governments asked people to take precautions at home and distributed a large number of free medicines.

Everything was in order at the beginning, but when more and more people fell down in this high fever, including the police and most of the service personnel, everything began to faintly show signs of getting out of control.

Many people on the Internet have started to talk about eschatology, and some relatives who have mutated family members have started to post online for help. At first, the online speech was well controlled, but when everything started to get out of control, the Internet became a reality. It is the status quo of people everywhere that can be seen everywhere.

The panic that had been suppressed by the authorities began to erupt crazily.

People began to panic-buy food and all supplies that could be stored. There were rumors all over the Internet, and people were not having a good time in reality.

People with high fever died one after another, and those who survived were basically mutated. The arrest by the government led many mutated people to gather together to resist. Many laboratories were conquered, and the experimenters were killed. A simple life seems to have reached hell overnight.

This is what happened in a densely populated metropolis, and in the village, villagers with high fever began to pass away one after another. At first, funerals were held in the village, but later no one could manage them. Basically, they were put in the ancestral hall first. Every day when the Lin family went home, their faces were darkened and solemn.

Chu Cheng was still having a fever. What was better about him than others was that after a period of sweating profusely, he only felt a little hot, not an astonishingly high fever.But the consciousness is still not clear, only the occasional snort, showing the fact that he is still alive.

Lin Yu stayed at home every day to watch the house, cook, and take care of Chu Cheng carefully—he originally thought that Chu Cheng would die, but during this period of time, he only had a fever and fell into a coma, but it didn't continue to deteriorate, which made Lin Yu a little puzzled.

Is this just a common cold and high fever?

But the early symptoms are too similar to the mutation of infection.Lin Yu observed carefully - if Chu Cheng is really a mutant, then his abilities must be stronger than his own.Then Lin Yu had to think about how to treat Chu Cheng.

After all, in the last days, people who start to mutate at this time will definitely be able to protect a small village in the future.And if Lin Yu saves him, for the sake of the benefactor, if Chu Cheng is willing to help them, it will be a very good help in the last days.As long as it is properly prepared, it may not be impossible to make good use of it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu paid a lot of attention to Chu Cheng. Fortunately, although Chu Cheng is unconscious now, he can still swallow more than half of it when he is fed some soup occasionally. Otherwise, even if he survives the high fever, it is possible. starve.

In this way, more than half a month passed, and almost none of the fallen survived.Lin's father and Lin's mother were sitting at home, talking about all this worriedly, preparing to hold a collective funeral with the rest of the village for those who died of high fever.

"Hey, what's going on in this world? Is it Lord Ma who wants to take people in?" Father Lin finished his meal right now, and because of the recent panic buying, the Lin family and the villagers also went to buy food, but they were busy grabbing food at the time. And salt, toilet paper, etc., I didn't care about anything else.There is no smoking now, just sitting at the door, looking at the vegetable field that has been tidied up by the youngest son in the past few days, and the family is playing gossip in the backyard with a fan.

Speaking of it, it’s really thanks to my youngest son’s childlike nature to tidy up the vegetable plots in the front and back yards of the house. Now the vegetable seedlings such as cabbage, tomato, garlic, and scallions are growing quite strong, and those few adult ones Some of the chickens are actually hens, and now they have a few eggs a day. Otherwise, the family will have a hard life just relying on the supplies they got back.

And for the first time in his life, Papa Lin felt that his youngest son really knew how to live. Mama Lin pinched her hands to count the food and drink at home. During the time, I bought the local bacon from the villagers in the village and prepared to take it home to eat. I dare not cook more these days.Just one fried bean sprouts with bacon, one Shanghai green, plus a pile of pickled radish, and a tomato and egg soup at night.

Canned food or something, I don't know what to do at the moment, how can I be willing to eat more.And the people in the village, even if Lin Zhizhong has been busy seeing doctors for the whole village during this period of time - although many people have passed by, but the people in the big hospitals in the city died one after another, sparks were sparked on the spot, Not even a whole body was left.The people in the village were very grateful, knowing that the Lin family had no roots in the village, and the family included five people in Chucheng, so they also sent some rice noodles, vegetables and fruits, or pickled radishes with salted duck eggs. People who have lived a hard life, and Yao Er, who has always been the most hard-working, is also very supportive of his mother's belt-tightening policy, so of course it is planned for the long-term life.

And don't look at this seemingly bland dish, at this moment, only people in the village like them dare to eat it.Because the plague has had such a great impact, except for a few top and very important cities, they are still being guarded, and many public facilities in other cities are basically temporarily disabled.

Some time ago, Lin Zhizhong was able to browse the Internet frequently. During this time, let alone the Internet, even electricity is sometimes available and sometimes not.

So at this moment, the family gathers together in the yard every day, chatting, and the family can stay together for a while, and they can feel at ease for a while.

Lin Zhizhong is now the person in the family who knows the most about the outside world besides Lin Yu.Parents may only know part of it, but as a doctor, he has examined so many patients these days, and with the inside news from Chucheng some time ago, he has thought a lot about it—compared to what he is doing in the city now, except on the balcony People who grow green vegetables in the world still have vegetables to eat. I am afraid that many people can only live on biscuits and instant noodles.

Because of the inconvenience of transportation, a large number of death rates, the turmoil of the people, and the constant massacre of mutated people, it has been a long time since supplies have started to circulate.And looking at it like this right now - in this world, I'm afraid there is still time to be chaotic.

So now hearing what Father Lin said, Lin Zhizhong also sighed, and planned to have a good communication with his family.He didn't answer Father Lin's words, but turned to his mother and said, "Mom, how much food is there in the family now?"

Mother Lin was taken aback for a moment, but recently she counted the most food at home, so when she heard Lin Zhizhong's question now, she didn't need to think about it, so she answered directly: "There are three bags of one hundred There is a bag of [-] catties of rice in bulk and I have eaten half of it. Your brother bought five pieces of instant noodles before. That can be put away or taken away. Keep it for now, and there is also a box of biscuits bought by your brother , I haven’t eaten a few packs right now, there are a lot of other canned meat, ham sausage and so on, and it’s enough for a month or two if I eat it every day.”

After counting for a while, Mama Lin found that there were three and a half kilograms of soil cured meat in the house, six adult chickens, four females and two males. The males could be killed, and the females were kept to lay eggs.The chicks had already shed their fluff and started to grow. Lin Yu bought 40 of them at the time, and [-] of them died during this period, and there are [-] of the ducklings left... In addition, there is another one that is closed by the toilet at home. , It is said to be a small fragrant pig, but recently it has grown to a pig weighing more than [-] catties.

In addition to these living things, at the moment at home, there are also short-cycle Shanghai greens growing in the ground, which are green and ready to eat.Yao'er put a bunch of crop seeds in the cabinet, planted a bunch of things in a mess and put them there. Mother Lin took Father Lin to tidy them up in batches recently. Years of poor women.Vegetables are also guaranteed.It's just that there is not much meat, so there is no way. Lin Yu couldn't save it if he wanted to buy it at the time. There is no refrigerator or other electrical appliances in his ancestral home.But this kid, after all, still remembered to buy cooking oil. At the moment, a few large barrels are left outside, and there is no meat to eat. Anyway, the oil is still enough.If it doesn't work, just fry ham sausage and scrambled eggs or open a can, which can be regarded as a meat dish.

When Lin Zhizhong heard this list, most of it was Lin Yu's mysterious stuff.I suddenly felt that my brother had expected these things a long time ago?

Seeing Lin's mother finished speaking, she turned to Lin Yu to discuss how long it will take for the wax gourd to bear fruit, should I exchange some biscuits for garlic seeds next door to plant some garlic seedlings, and the toon tree in the backyard at home, when will the toon be ready Eat things like that.

Seeing Lin Yu listening seriously, his usual cute and mischievous appearance seemed extremely serious now.The young boy in my memory, with his gentle and delicate eyebrows, now has a serious face, and he seems to be reliable.

Forget it...it doesn't matter if my younger brother knew about it or not.Lin Zhizhong sighed, so what?Should I start telling them? That's actually very unlikely, because even if I tell them more than ten days in advance, I'm afraid the Lin family, including myself, won't believe it.

The world is good, who knows that it will change when it turns around?

Therefore, why should he care about it, and why should he know that anyway, even if his younger brother has done so much, it must be for the sake of his family.If they are still in the city at this moment, I am afraid that they will have to drink porridge - or in the case of grabbing rice!

Except for Lin's mother, the remaining three big men in the family are not people who save rice.Although there are fewer dishes in the past few days, the three of them can eat more and more because of the lack of oil and water.

If it was changed in the city, it might be so miserable at this time.

Moreover, thinking of the tears on Lin Yu's face when he asked his younger brother that day, he didn't cry loudly, but just shed tears silently. Thinking about it made Lin Zhizhong feel worried.My younger brother has been treasured by his family for so many years, if he has ever experienced this kind of crime, he will probably be too scared to die.

So Lin Zhizhong didn't ask anything, but after Lin's mother said these words, he thought for a while and said: "In the past few days, sometimes the phone can be connected, and sometimes it cannot be connected, but the news I heard, the city It's already a mess inside... I'm afraid we'll have to stay for a while!"

"Is the news reliable?" Lin's father frowned when he heard this, and Lin's mother's first reaction was to think about how to ensure that the few people in her family would not be short of food.

Lin Zhizhong nodded: "It's 100% reliable. Before Chucheng had a high fever, he even called to get inside information. Many people... mutated. After speaking, he gave a general introduction to Lin's father and Lin's mother about what mutation is, just to avoid it." I gave a detailed introduction so that my parents would not think about what happened to Lin Yu before. From Lin Zhizhong's point of view, the less people knew about it, the better. He didn't want his brother to be looked at like a monster in the future.

Lin Yu was holding the last melon left in the house, feeding it to his fascinated father for a while, and feeding it to his mother for a while, and when he greeted all the people in the family, he scooped a spoonful and squinted sweetly. Opened the eyes - so delicious!

What a pity, what a pity, this is the last melon in the family.

The Lin family just chatted for a while in this backyard—actually, what else could they say, but they were just asking when the turmoil would stop, but at this moment, even the communication was not working, so how could they know anything.

Unlike the Lin family father and son, Lin's mother is also worried. People of their generation are actually not worried about the current situation. After all, their parents' generation was still in turmoil on the battlefield.The current situation is just a little chaotic-in fact, what kind of current situation is not living!

As long as the world is not destroyed, then the life that should be lived must go on.

What's more, when the sky is falling and there are tall people supporting them, they don't have to worry about the whole world, because even if they worry about it, they can't handle it.At the moment, Mama Lin is not interested in hearing about the general situation of the country. She listened to Lin Zhizhong's words, and then thought about the food in her hand-there are three fathers and sons in this family, and they eat a lot, especially when they go out to help the villagers recently. Dad still needs to help him cultivate the land. Since Lin Zhizhong discovered his brother's secret, he vaguely knew that there would be turmoil in the future, so he ran and exercised at home when he was free from seeing the doctor every day.

The two brothers dragged Papa Lin along with them while exercising, and Mama Lin was busy digging the ground and planting vegetables every day. With the lack of oil and water, the family's food intake increased steadily.

It seems that there are a lot of stocks in the house at the moment, but those few boxes of instant noodles seem to be a lot, and they can’t last for two weeks. Three months—but people can't just eat white rice, even if the vegetables grow in the vegetable field, there has been no oil and water, I'm afraid people can't stand it.

The three and a half pieces of bacon hanging in the kitchen add up to tens of catties, and if you save it, it will be enough for two or three months.

only……

Two or three months, I don't know what the days after two or three months will be like...

Mother Lin's mind was crackling, and she remembered what her parents said before, during the war, which family didn't store rice and pickled vegetables for one or two years.If it really gets messy, people can't just sit and starve to death, can't they!

I used to think that the old man was afraid of life and became a frightened bird. Now that I think about it, I really feel that if I don’t listen to the old man’s words, I will be worried to death.

In spring, you can also pick up some lichens, mushrooms, etc., but this summer, the sun is scorching, and there are not even wild vegetables on the mountain...

Mother Lin looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help worrying about the future of the family.

The only hope is that the news that Lin Zhizhong heard is not so serious, and everything... can be restored to the original state in time...
