The birth of a new life brought some comfort to everyone who had been tense for days, but... it was only a little comfort.

Ye Yibai's coat was almost soaked with blood, which broke their original arrangement. Ye Yibai and his party could not go directly to the temporary office of the administrative office, but returned to Pei Zebi directly after apologizing with Zhou Haoren and others. Prepared residence in Pingjin.

The car was driving on the empty road in Pingjin City, Ye Yibai looked at the city through the car window.

Both sides of the street are desolate, there are almost no open shops, only a small door is opened in the sporadic two, and the pedestrians on the road are almost invisible. An old newspaper was blown in the cold wind and just flew by. Beside the car window of Ye Yibai and others, he took a quick glance, and the densely packed "obituary" in the newspaper was shocking.

Ye Yibai closed his eyes slightly, his already jade-like face was illuminated by the twilight of the northern winter day, which made people look unreal for a while.

Pei Zebi unbuttoned his fur-collared cloak, bent over and squatted down, "Is it cold?" He rolled up Ye Yibai's trouser legs and asked softly at the same time.

Just now Ye Yibai knelt on one knee in the bloody water, most of the trouser leg of his left foot was soaked in bloody water, and the bloody water seeped into the trouser leg and it was slightly solidified. Through the gloves, Pei Zebi clearly felt the chill coming from the palm of his hand.

He took off his gloves, and covered Ye Yibai's icy ankles with his warm hands. He didn't wrap his fur-collared cloak around Ye Yibai's calves until he felt that his palms were no longer so cold.

From cold to warm, perhaps because the temperature rose too fast, Ye Yibai felt a tingling sensation in his feet, and he let out a soft breath, "It's okay, I'm not cold. It's just..." He paused, rubbed his temples with a wry smile, "It's just a little... scared."

Ye Yibai didn't hide the fear in his heart. The expectant eyes of everyone in the station and the dense obituary that represented the lives of people at a casual glance made him feel as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart. tremble with fear.

Be in awe of life, fear because of awe.

Since I was a student, I have been taught by my mentors, and I can't lose my respect for life.On the operating table are living people, not pieces of bloody flesh.Clinical white coats, especially those with knives, have almost engraved their awe of life into their bones.

A living person...

If the price of a mistake on the operating table may be a life, then now, the price of a wrong decision...

"No one can do better than you. On the first day you arrived in Pingjin, you have already solved the biggest problem of this trip. The two consuls, Cook and Gail, have indicated that they will send a copy of the materials in their hands today. Go to the mansion, and they will also participate in the meeting on Qingnian Road tomorrow morning. This means that they have acquiesced in your leading position in the fight against the epidemic in Pingjin and are willing to cooperate."

"In addition to the information from the administrative office and the two consulates, as well as the information collected by the people I sent over years ago, Pingjin has banned travel to and from northern cities such as Changgang since September last year, so there is almost no official information after September. Information on several cities in the north, and this epidemic started from the north. If the source is not controlled, it will be useless to control the epidemic in Pingjin, so I privately asked people to collect information on several cities in the north. Now It was also sent to the table in the mansion." Pei Zebi said calmly and clearly.

Ye Yibai nodded, and was about to answer when he felt his body lose weight, and his upper body rushed forward. At the same time, there was a harsh "sizzling" sound from tires rubbing against the ground, and Pei Zebi held the ring firmly with his hands Holding Ye Yibai's upper body, "What's going on?" He said in a deep voice.

"Yes...I'm sorry." The driver wiped the sweat from his brow, turned around and said, "There are people from the corpse collection team ahead, let's let them pass first."

As soon as the word "corpse collector" came out, Ye Yibai and Pei Zebi's hearts trembled. They looked out through the car window and saw five or six people in white coats that were tightly wrapped from head to toe. Walking from not far away, one of them pushed a small cart, which was covered with a thin quilt, and only a slightly raised arc could be seen. The team stopped about 10 meters in front of the cart. .

Two of them left the team and walked into a small alley beside the road. Not long after, they came out carrying a man with a strange posture on their backs.

Throwing off the thin quilt on the trolley, stacked this person with a strange posture on top, and then covered it again. The movement was fast and smooth, without any stagnation. The team continued to move forward, and the dazzling white was getting closer and closer. When the distance between the two parties was only three to five meters, the white team in front suddenly turned a corner and turned into an alley.

As the white team gradually went away, the driver let out a long breath without concealing it. He wiped his forehead again, turned his head and said with a flattering smile: "I'm sorry, two noblemen, I made my own claim."

"The dead are the greatest, as it should be."

The drivers of Ye Yibai and Pei Zebi were arranged by Pingjin, and they are all natives of Pingjin.

He inquired about the current situation in Pingjin City in the eyes of ordinary people, and said: "Is this corpse collection team official? I think the people they lifted out just now seemed to be in a sitting posture, and they just stuffed them into the cart. Aren't you afraid that you will still be breathless after picking it up, breaking a taboo?"

Seeing Pei Zebi's gentle tone, the driver couldn't help but relax a little bit. He knew that the two people sitting behind him were big shots, and they were here to help them tide over their difficulties, so he was also very enthusiastic.

"Yes, the corpse collection teams are all official. At the beginning, they were dedicated to collecting the corpses of people who died of the plague. Later, the plague became more and more serious. Many people hid at home and did not dare to come out. No matter what the disease is, as long as they leave It will be handled by the corpse collection team. But the corpse collection team is also particular about it, as long as there is still a breath, it will never be collected."

The driver babbled in Pingjin dialect while driving, "Don't look at the posture of the person just now, it seems that the person is sitting, it is stiff. This plague loves the elderly, and it spreads quickly. Many people in the family When the old man confirms that he is infected and hopeless, he will sneak out and sit in the street corner or in the yard, thinking about not infecting the children, and there are some unscrupulous ones who throw people out when the old man is about to leave. It's cold, people will huddle to keep warm, huddled and go, the body is outside for a few hours, and it can't move anymore, so if the two nobles see sitting on the side of the road in Pingjin City Don’t go up to say hello to someone who is moving, it doesn’t have to be a living person.”

The driver continued to talk, but Pei Zebi obviously felt his palm tighten, and Ye Yibai held his hand tightly. This kind of thing is common to Pei Zebi who lives in troubled times, but to Ye Yibai Great shock.

For a moment, only the driver's moderate voice was left in the car. The car drove slowly across the central street in Pingjin City, and drove into a western-style residence not far from the government hall.

"You two are here." The driver said as he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them.

This western-style garden house is a single-family house, adjacent to a small road. Even though it is winter, there are still many green paper sticks protruding from the wall in the yard. The moment the car stopped, two large iron gates were quickly pushed open. At the same time, Meng Qingyong and his team members in the cart behind quickly jumped out of the cart, and then trotted into the house before Ye Yibai and Pei Zebi got off the cart.

They quickly checked the inside and outside of the house, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Meng Qingyong nodded to Pei Zebi.

Seeing this, the officers from the Pingjin Police Department who just got off the car couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the same exclamation in each other's eyes, "You are indeed a raptor crossing the river."

"Mr. Pei, Doctor Ye, during the time you are in Pingjin, we will be responsible for your safety." Speaking of this, the officer from the Pingjin City Police Department also showed a smile on his face, "Although the two We may not need us, but we still have to do what we have to do. We will send people to be on duty around the clock, if you need us, please feel free to ask.”

"That's troublesome." Pei Zebi said politely, and then Meng Qingyong quickly took over the task of greeting, so that Pei Zebi and Ye Yibai could enter the residence to rest as soon as possible.

After 256 Pingning Street, this house has been replaced with the brand of Lin Mansion three months ago, and all the decorations inside are in southern style, which shows Pei Zebi's intentions.

But at this time Ye Yibai no longer had the heart to pay attention to these external things. The crowds in the station were crowded with people who wanted to flee, and the stiff corpses were sitting on the side of the street. This lifeless city that had almost lost order gave Ye Yibai's heart was greatly shocked.

He took a quick shower, changed his sticky bloody pants, and hurried out of the bathroom.

When Pei Zebi bought this house, he had someone install a heater. At this time in 34, there were already low-pressure steam boilers in the north for heating. However, the heating equipment at this time was mostly found in public places, such as embassies, large hospitals, etc. It is extremely rare to use it directly for home use like Pei Zebi.

"The materials from the administrative office and the two embassies have been sent over and placed in the study room. Wipe your hair and don't worry." Seeing that Ye Yibai came out in a hurry while his hair was still dripping, Pei Zebi had no choice but to take a towel and hurry up. Step up and help him wipe his head.

"Where are the books?"

"This way."

One of the two walked forward quickly, and the other stepped behind helplessly and distressedly, while raising his hand to help wipe his hair. Pei Zebi never thought that he would have such a time in his life, but he felt the towel in his hand. It was slightly wet, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. If it can go on like this, it seems... not bad.
