After the whole species mutated, I hung up

On May 3023, 5, a leak occurred in the nuclear laboratory of the R Alliance on an isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean. In order to evade international responsibility, the R Alliance blocked the news.

Two months later, a typhoon swept through City X, and now, the storm has just stopped.

At the gate of the No. [-] Hospital in X City, Lu Mian was holding a note and checking it repeatedly.

"Well, what did the doctor say?"

He held the phone between his shoulders, and his good friend Wei Qing was chattering on the other end of the phone.

While reading the handwriting on the note, Lu Mian replied: "It's just a common cold, but we seem to have the flu recently, and many medicines in the hospital are gone. The doctor just wrote a note and asked me to go outside by myself. drugstore."

Wei Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Seeing that you have had a fever for three or four days, luckily it's just a common cold, go buy some medicine and go home and have a good rest!"

Lu Mian responded, said a few more words, and then hung up the phone. He raised his head and took a deep breath. The moisture in the air made his throat uncomfortable.

City X is a coastal city, typhoon is a common occurrence, everyone is used to it, he was caught in the rain at the beginning of the typhoon, and then he started to have a fever, and he lived in a daze for four consecutive days, finally waiting for the rain to stop. Then I packed up and went to the hospital to see a doctor.

He looked at the note in his hand. Most of the medicines that the doctor asked to buy were cold medicines that were always kept at home. Only one or two needed to be purchased separately. He wrote down the names of the medicines and walked slowly to the surrounding pharmacies.

To his surprise, the medicines in the pharmacy seemed to be in short supply. He asked more than a dozen people in a row, all the way from the hospital to his home, and finally bought the medicine he needed in an unassuming small pharmacy.

The clerk was scanning the code, and he waited aside, staring at the TV screen in the store.

The channel broadcast on the TV is their local station, which is broadcasting fishery news.

The seafood caught by many fishermen seems to be a little strange.

The clerk was very talkative. Seeing the customers watching TV, he was not in a hurry to collect the money. He sighed a few words, "Recently there have been a lot of news like this. I don't know what happened. Those fish and shrimps are getting more and more strange. No one eats any seafood!"

Lu Mian looked at the octopus with two heads on the TV, and replied with a smile: "That's right, the seafood restaurant has collapsed a lot."

After chatting with the clerk for a few words, he bid farewell to the kind clerk and walked home with the medicine.

He is an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage and passed through several families. Due to various reasons, he was still alone in the end. Fortunately, he was admitted to university with great vigor. Anyone can live on campus.

Wei Qing has a very good relationship with him. The two of them learned board painting together out of interest, but they didn't expect this skill to become a means of making a living for him temporarily.

After the college entrance examination, he received a large order. While saving his tuition fees, he was able to rent the single apartment he is currently living in with some spare time.

After brushing his face at the door, Lu Mian opened the iron gate of the community gate and greeted the uncle guard.

The uncle guard, wearing a mask, lowered his head and coughed twice.

Lu Mian stopped and retreated, and asked softly, "Grandpa, do you have a cold too?"

The uncle has worked as a security guard in this community for many years, and he is a very nice person. When he first moved here, the uncle was afraid that he would not find his way, so he accompanied him for a long walk.

The grey-haired uncle waved his hand and looked at his cloudy eyes, "Don't mention it, when the typhoon came a few days ago, I helped Aunt Cui put the quilt on the first floor and got a few drops of rain. Is it because I am old?" It didn’t work, and I got sick after I went back that day.”

Hearing that this experience was very similar to his own, Lu Mian sighed and replied: "I was also recruited when the typhoon came and I got caught in the rain. Now that the hospital is full of people, it is really hard to buy medicine. Did you buy medicine? I have this, you take some to eat first..."

As he said that, he lowered his head and was about to take out the medicine in his hand, but was pushed into the community by the uncle.

Uncle: "Hey, no need! I have bought all the medicines, and you are still sick, go back and rest!"

The uncle is getting old, Lu Mian didn't dare to struggle, and was afraid of affecting people's access, so he had to give up.

But recalling the bone-chilling cold that came from the uncle's hand just now, he couldn't help turning his head around, and told him again, "Then uncle, you should also rest more, if you can't do it, please ask for leave. Seeing that your hands are cold, if you feel cold, you can take a leave of absence." Put on more clothes."

Hearing this, the uncle was stunned for a while, then smiled and waved to him.

Lu Mian tugged on his mask, walked quickly through the atrium, and stopped in front of the convenience store downstairs, "Boss, is there a courier for building 1?"

The boss is a middle-aged man with a large birthmark on his face, which looks scary at first glance.

Boss: "Yes, it's next to the shelf. It's a big and heavy item. You probably can't lift it by yourself. I'll find you a cart. Wait."

Lu Mian moved the big box that was half a person tall, but it still didn't move at all. He looked at the boss gratefully: "Thank you boss!"

The boss lowered his head to settle the bill, and took the time to glance at him, "You are welcome, young man."

Lu Mian praised the boss, and then stood quietly aside, not disturbing the boss's work.

After a while, the boss said hello, reached out to pick up the windbreaker behind the counter and put it on, then turned around and went into the warehouse to push out the small trolley that usually pulls goods.

Lu Mian's eyes stopped on the black windbreaker, and his doubts became deeper and deeper.

Although there has just been a typhoon, the temperature is still very high now. Wearing a windbreaker in summer, isn’t it too hot?

He bent down to help lift the express box onto the cart, "Boss, are you... cold?"

The boss straightened up and replied embarrassingly: "I have a cold, my hands and feet are always cold, and I am afraid that everyone will feel hot in the store, so I dare not turn off the air conditioner, so I just wear more clothes."

Lu Mian raised her eyebrows, "You have a cold too?"

The boss turned his head and coughed a few times, and then replied after he was relieved: "It's not just me, most of the people who came to the store in the past two days coughed badly, or they had a fever, it should be flu .”

Lu Mian nodded approvingly, bid farewell to the boss, pushed the trolley all the way to bring the courier home, and then sent the trolley back to the convenience store non-stop.

In just a short while, many people came to the convenience store. Lu Mian put the trolley at the door of the store and stood where he was, hoping to tell the boss when he was done.

Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Mian turned his head and reacted for a while before he recognized the person in front of him. He greeted politely, "Aunt Wang."

Aunt Wang is his landlord. She is a nice person, but her mouth is a little broken.

Aunt Wang was wearing a mask, and when she saw him, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes deepened by two degrees, "Why is Xiao Lu standing here? Go in quickly, or there will be no water if it's too late."

Lu Mian looked blank, "What water?"

Aunt Wang dragged him and walked into the store, "Did you not look at the owner group? The property just informed that the water will be cut off at five o'clock this afternoon. I heard that there is something wrong with the water plant. I don't know when the water will come. You still Buy more drinking water and store it, and when you go back, remember to take that bucket, basin, and catch some water, this person can’t live without water.”

Hearing this, Lu Mian was taken aback, and hurriedly agreed with Aunt Wang.

The two walked to the shelf of purified water. Aunt Wang looked at the empty shelf and shouted, "Why are you guys moving so fast! Old Li, is there any water? The shelf is empty!"

The boss, who was busy paying the bill, replied from a distance, "Hey, there are some, wait!"

After finishing speaking, the boss talked to the person in front of the counter, then walked quickly into the warehouse, and brought out a lot of water. Seeing this, Lu Mian rushed to the door and pushed the cart he had returned back into the warehouse. The boss who was busy in the warehouse said, "Boss, do you need any help?"

The boss looked back at her, with a deeper smile on his face, "You are fast, but it helped a lot, push the car in."

Lu Mian did as he did and helped the boss put the water on the shelf.

Aunt Wang happily lifted two cranes away. Lu Mian hesitated for a moment, then turned to see the large bucket of purified water quietly placed on the ground behind her.

He had planned to stay at home to finish the manuscript, and he might not go out for many days. He had stored up a lot of noodles at home. Now it seems that he needs to store up some water, 4.5L. It seems better to take a few buckets back directly. save trouble?

So, he took advantage of the young man and proudly carried four buckets home. Before leaving, his eyes drifted to the corner inadvertently.

The screen of the vertical air conditioner was dusty.

The boss in front of the counter was still wearing that black windbreaker.

He frowned, the air conditioner was obviously not turned on, boss, isn't it hot?

After returning home, Lu Mian took the water in the foldable bathtub, confirmed everything was correct, took the medicine and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was completely dark.

Bursts of alternating red and blue light flashed through the window, he got up in a daze, and looked out the window.

Outside his window was the main road, a dozen police cars escorting a few ambulances sped past without sounding their horns, just driving across the street without a sound.

Lu Mian half-closed his eyes, when did the ambulance turn out to be escorted by a police car?

At this moment, a piercing pain came from the temple without warning, Lu Mian held his breath, not daring to move at all, silently waiting for the pain to pass, and then took a deep breath.

He leaned on the window sill to slow down, counting the headache on the flu, and didn't pay much attention to it.

He fumbled his way to the living room. In the darkness, only the electronic clock in the living room flickered.

The time is now 01:30 AM.

At this point, the screen of the mobile phone on the coffee table was flashing non-stop. He took the mobile phone and unlocked it, and found that it was the owner group of the community.

Building 1, 1012 Wu: Brother Zhao from 1011 was taken away just now. He looked like he was in a hospital, and he was wearing protective clothing. He looked scary...

Li Shun, Building 4, 601: Brother Zhao?When he came to my convenience store today, his face was frighteningly pale. I advised him to go to the hospital. He said he had been there and had his blood drawn, but he has not seen him since.

Building 3, 403: Could it be that his blood test revealed some disease?

Zhang Yan, Building 1, 1304: They are all wearing protective clothing. Is it some kind of infectious disease?

Xiaosun of the property owner: We have asked people to contact the hospital to inquire about the situation. Before the results come out, please stay calm and don't guess too much.

The noisy group fell silent because of the property's voice. Lu Mian flipped through the chat history, faintly feeling that this matter was not simple. In the next second, a text message notification appeared on the top of the phone.

"Influenza in city X is spreading to the whole city at a very fast speed. Residents in city X are requested to reduce going out and try to avoid appearing in densely populated areas. The main symptoms of this flu are head pain, cough, fever, extremities Weakness, chills, etc. If you have severe symptoms, please go to the hospital in time, and please wear a mask when you go out. ——City X Center for Disease Control and Prevention.”
