All the support staff checked in at the arranged hotel, but the staff responsible for the reception never came, apparently because the temporary closure of the city news was so sudden that many departments did not have time to turn around.

Ying Xize stayed in the hotel room to read the content of the last message Su Fengzhou sent him.

Obviously, under the situation of serious shortage of manpower, the seven groups of this kind of teams were inevitably signaled to work as temporary workers in the past, and they were probably very busy at the moment.

However, the most troublesome situation right now is not the alienated people who appear irregularly, but ordinary people who don't know the seriousness of the situation.

Judging from the surroundings of their stay in the hotel, such an approach has obviously caused great panic. People who were still at home or in the company have left the building one after another. Looking down from the windows, there are people everywhere on the street. It was densely packed with people.Whether they were discussing fiercely or expressing dissatisfaction, everyone's face was full of doubts and anxiety. Even though the traffic department had sent all the staff to maintain order, the entire traffic situation was still inevitably in chaos. among.

Ying Xi Ze leaned against the window and watched the messy situation outside, after calling Ji Song, no one answered, so he had to call Xiang Jiayan instead.

However, this time, there was only a busy signal on the other end of the phone.

Ying Xize was stunned for a moment, then realized that Pingcheng probably had activated a comprehensive signal shielding system. Unless there was a special external communication channel, the signal strength provided would only allow communication within the city.

At this moment, the phone vibrated faintly.

Click to open it, and it is a text message sent by the Pingcheng government to all the masses.

[Due to the emergence of a special virus, Pingcheng temporarily made a decision to close the city.At present, there are sufficient water and electricity in the city, and food reserves are complete, and normal work and travel will not be affected, so please do not be too nervous.In recent days, each district in the city will arrange testing locations separately. Please choose a location for testing by yourself. After the danger alarm is cleared, the ban on entering and leaving the city will end.This test is free of charge, thank you for your cooperation. 】

[Special reminder, there have been too many flying insects in the city recently, please take protective measures as much as possible and be careful of mosquito bites. 】

Immediately afterwards, several messages were received one after another. The main content was the location of the detection points in various areas of Pingcheng.

Ying Xize's attention stayed on the second text message he received for a long time, and he became more and more convinced of his previous bad premonition.

Is all this just as Su Fengzhou said, just because new alienated people appeared in the next city?

Or is it true that a new alienation infection channel has emerged?

But in any case, one thing is certain, some other problems must have been discovered in the blood samples taken from major hospitals in Pingcheng some time ago.

The support team also quickly received the mission notification.

When Ying Xize went downstairs to gather in the hotel lobby, many people had arrived one after another. After all the staff arrived, they set off to the nearest testing site for assistance.

Because the traffic outside was basically in chaos, everyone chose to walk.

But there are too many people on the street, and it is quite difficult to go all the way.

It is also at this time that I can more deeply feel the panic from the hearts of ordinary people. The sense of uncertainty after cutting off contact with the outside world makes everyone seem to have lost their last sustenance in the Internet age. You can hear all kinds of different words falling into your ears intermittently, including confusion, swearing, and anger... It seems that you have hidden all kinds of human states, and hit the pillar that supports the balance of your mind head-on.

In such a chaotic scene, the sound of distant police sirens was particularly clear and distinct.

Ying Xize looked in that direction, and at the end of his field of vision was the familiar silhouette of a row of black cars.

Seeing seven groups of these old friends appear here, he suddenly felt a little uneasy, and the next second, he heard a scream from the crowd not far in front.

The people who were venting their emotions on the side of the road before suddenly became agitated, and the entire flow of people in front of them began to rush towards the support team in a chaotic manner.

Seeing that Yu Qingyi was about to be knocked down by accident, Ying Xize quickly gave him a hand, but like everyone else, he was almost swept away by the frantic crowd.

"There are aliens again."

Someone in the front row suddenly said something, which made the already dispersed team subtly silent for a moment.

But it was only such a short moment of hesitation, and everyone had already made a decision in unison.

Three or two gathered together and tried hard to withstand the pressure of the crowd's collision, and went retrograde in the direction of the "accident".

Yu Qingyi accidentally sprained her foot due to the collision just now, Ying Xi Ze originally wanted to ask her if she should go back to the hotel to rest first, but seeing her firm attitude, she didn't say much.

When they approached the place where the "accident" happened together, they finally saw the appearance of the alienated person clearly from a distance.

Obviously, it was a mutation that just happened, and the whole person still has some human appearance, but the pair of compound eyes on the face are a bit too big, almost occupying three-quarters of the face area, and the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly The pair of thin transparent wings fluttering behind him, combined with the extremely sharp forelimbs, looked like a fly magnified countless times.

In a short period of time, the surrounding area has been cleared, and some car owners who were stuck on the road have already abandoned their cars and fled, making the whole scene quite quiet.

When Ningcheng's research support team arrived, the first reaction of the fire department personnel who were on the scene to maintain order was to send them away. They were allowed to stay after the team leader explained their identities and confirmed again, and waited for the "accident" to be resolved. On-site activity sampling is performed.

Ying Xize's eyes fell on the backpack that fell beside the alienated man.

The surface of the bag had been accidentally scratched by the sharp forelimbs, and a corner of the climbing equipment inside was messily exposed. It can be imagined that just a few minutes ago, the young man was happily preparing to go out.

The reaction to this "accident" has been quite fast, and you can feel the defensive barrier erected behind you without turning your head. The guides responsible for adjusting the memory of the masses have obviously started work near this area.

In the face of this kind of low-level alienated people whose degree of alienation is not too high, ordinary members of the inspection department can handle it with ease.

Standing in the crowd, Ying Xize watched the members of the inspection department surrounding them quickly complete the cleanup and killing of the alienated ones, but looked up and looked further away.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw several members of the seventh group walking towards this side, holding combat weapons that had not yet been recovered in the future, and the sharp blades of these special metals were still stained with blue-green stains. blood.

"This is..." Yu Qingyi obviously realized something.

Ying Xize looked at Su Fengzhou, who was handing over work to the person in charge of the consumer inspection department not far away, and calmly followed her words: "This is not the only alienated person here."

The surroundings have completely returned to silence, and the staff from the logistics department who blocked them still did not choose to let them go.

After a while, a new command was faintly received in the communicator.

"Ah, ok, I understand, I'll tell them right away." The staff of the logistics department responded, looking at the person in charge of the research team, "Well... the current situation may be a bit complicated, except for the sampling , may also need everyone to help with the alienation test."

After a pause, he added: "Everyone in this area just now needs to be tested, including all of us."

This little brother's emotional intelligence is quite high. The word "we" not only covers the on-site inspection and logistics departments, but also very naturally implies that the research team itself also needs to conduct internal investigations.

After first testing all the staff who did not wear protective clothing, the research team also cooperated with the internal test.

After arriving at the designated place, it was discovered that all the people who had just fled in a hurry had been forcibly gathered in a nearby square, and their faces were still full of panic expressions.

Temporary testing sites have been quickly set up around.

Judging from such proficiency, Pingcheng has indeed made the most complete preparations possible for the upcoming situation.

But compared to these, the most surprising thing is the detection method chosen this time-extracting blood.

This is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive detection method that should have been eliminated long ago, but at this time it was re-launched with great caution.

Those who can come to support Pingcheng are research elites. For this sake, combined with the various previous situations, there are already some guesses.

The testing equipment, which was already very complete, may have lost its proper function again.

In such a panic situation, the guide played a very important role in stabilizing and comforting the emotions.

With the cooperation of all parties, the on-site inspection work began to be carried out one after another.

Yu Qingyi and Ying Xize were divided into a group, and the first blood collected here was quickly put into a container for testing. When she turned her head, she noticed that Ying Xize seemed to be standing there in a daze, so she couldn't help but let out a cry : "Should work?"

Ying Xize seemed to have just regained his senses, looked away from the needle he was holding, and took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.

Just as he closed his eyes and was about to devote himself to his work, his hand was suddenly empty, and the needle was taken away from behind without warning.

Then I heard Su Fengzhou's voice: "Just do the test, I'll help with blood collection."

Just listening to the tone seemed quite natural, Ying Xi Ze was stunned for a while, and when he looked up again, the tall figure of the man had already stopped in front of him.

It is obviously the first time for Su Fengzhou to do this kind of service work. He has never talked to others with a pretense of gentleness like now, but he also keeps the corners of his mouth as friendly as possible when facing the crowd: "Don't be afraid of comrades. , it doesn’t hurt at all, trust me, I’ll be fine soon.”

Ying Xize glanced at the little girl in front of the testing platform, apparently she had made the mental preparation with great difficulty. At this moment, Su Fengzhou glanced at him with such a superficial smile, and suddenly her whole body trembled. Even more powerful: "..."

Do you always feel like you are about to cry?
