Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 11:

The first thing was the news that broke out on the Internet. Many people who had been ill before but were lucky to be cured had relapsed again, and the relapse was fierce. One of them was a 70-year-old man. In the morning, the family found that the old man had a fever and cough , but they didn't think about that. Although they were sick before, they were cured fortunately. , Seeing that it was going to die, the old man left before twelve o'clock that night.

This is not a special case. Two or three days in a row, relapse after recovery, and there are more and more menacing news, and there are more and more rumors, true and false. People who have been ill but cured are like being The **** of death has marked the mark, and there is no way to escape death. Under the increasing pressure, some people have jumped off the building in despair before they even relapsed.

In the community where Mu Nan lives, there was a man who jumped off a building. He was a middle-aged man. I heard that he was not married and had no children. His illness was relatively early before. After the treatment, he was cured and went home. As a result, this situation repeated, even if this person had not relapsed, he was already desperate and unable to think about it.

Mu Nan has no impression of this incident. It may have happened in the previous life, but he didn't notice it. Although it is their community, the buildings are a bit far away, and he can't go out now. He can only get some news through the community group. Once closed, the news will naturally be closed.

Qin Huai knew the person who jumped off the building, and Mu Nan was a little surprised: "You know him? Is he an old neighbor? I don't have any impression."

Qin Huai said: "You are still young so you don't remember much. This person is a bit mentally abnormal, so he never got married in his life, and he even fought with Uncle Mu before."

Mu Nan was even more surprised: "Huh? My dad? Then who won the fight?"

Qin Huai smiled: "Of course Uncle Mu won the game. I remember that Uncle Mu was playing cards downstairs. I happened to pass by when I came back from school. Uncle Mu stopped me and told me that Auntie was working overtime. Then he gave me a hundred yuan to wait. You took you to eat KFC after school, and just as I was about to leave after taking the money, the man rushed over and bumped me, Uncle Mu gave the man a sideways look, and said something like walking without looking at the road, but the man turned back body, directly overturned Uncle Mu's card table."

There is a KFC outside their community. Mu Nan remembers that when he was a child, Qin Huai would occasionally take him there to eat. This happened every time his mother worked overtime. When his mother worked overtime, his father was too lazy to cook, so he asked Qin Huai to take him there. Eat KFC, and then order a few dishes and drink some wine with the poker friends after playing cards. Especially in summer, his father will bring back a pot of shrimp after drinking. He and Qin Huai are wearing vests Sitting in the living room, watching cartoons while eating shrimp.

Now when Qin Huai talks about these things, Mu Nan feels like he's back in the past, as if his father will come out of the elevator in the next second, then step on the ground twice, and light up the lights in the corridor with the sound of his footsteps. With the sensor light, he opened the iron door, looked at them with a smile on his back with the packaged shrimps, and then shouted to them: "Spicy and spicy shrimps, is there anyone eating them?"

Mu Nan also smiled, and asked, "And then? We just started fighting?"

Qin Huai said: "Well, the fight started right away. You also know that your father has such a violent temper that the card table was overturned, so there are still people who don't fight, but although they won, the four who fought one won, and later When that person saw your father and the others, he wished he could take a detour."

He didn't expect them to have such a past with the person who jumped off the building, Mu Nan was a little embarrassed to hear these things.

Originally, as fewer and fewer people got sick, more and more people were cured and discharged, and people became more and more adapted to the smog. Everyone has changed from panic to calmness, from being locked at home at a loss, to adapting to the smog. There is a big group buying in the community, thinking about what to buy and what to eat every day. As a result, the epidemic broke out again, causing many people to panic again, and they were even more afraid of the smog outside, wishing to lock themselves in a place surrounded by walls and completely airtight.

Although Mu Nan has experienced it once and knows that as long as he is careful not to go out and be exposed to the smog, he will not be infected, but with the second outbreak, he still carefully inspects the doors and windows on both sides every day, and then puts the air in both houses. There are only two air purifiers in the living room where he and Qin Huai live, for fear that the purification will not be in place. Although this air purifier may not be effective against this virus, the doors and windows are kept closed, and a little purification of the air in the room will always work. It is beneficial and harmless, but fortunately both he and Qin Huai are non-smokers.

Seeing that life was about to return to normal, it was disrupted again by this sudden outbreak of death. Although the chaos on the Internet can be seen every day, after all, they are separated by a network, and the impact can be reduced by turning off the mobile phone, but the chaos that broke out around them is not so easy to stop.

At the very beginning, someone asked in the group whether these people who had recovered before were still contagious after repeating it again. Someone asked the person in charge of the community whether those who were infected before and recovered later have returned to their homes. Some people hoped that people in the community who knew the news would publish the portal numbers of those who were sick. The original intention of this request was to You have the right to know, and avoid it with precautions, otherwise you don’t know if someone on the same floor as you has been infected, what to do if you come into contact with it and get infected.

Later, it evolved into requiring the community leaders to move those who had been sick out of the community, and move them to hotels or somewhere outside. many people.

Some people who are a bit nervous due to this disease are still making troubles in the group. They insist on sending people away from the community leaders, as if they will definitely infect them and kill them. The ugliness of human nature has begun to emerge through this second outbreak.

Of course, it is impossible for people in the community to do this kind of thing, unless those who have been infected and cured relapse again, they can arrange for people to transfer these people to the centralized point provided by the hospital, but now they are alive and well, they have not relapsed, and they are old Honestly stay behind closed doors, they have no right to expose other people's information and make people leave their homes.

But if they don't expose it, someone will. First of all, Mu Nan and his building were the first to be exposed. A young couple lived on the fifteenth floor below Mu Nan's building. Their child seemed to be born during the rainstorm. At that time, the disease was just showing its signs, and the medical resources were not so tight. Although there was no specific medicine for this kind of lung swelling, some medicines against the flu were still effective, so the child of the young couple was infected with the virus. He had recovered and was discharged from the hospital before the outbreak.

Unexpectedly, they lived in An Ansheng at home, and their family information was exposed in the group.

Mu Nan saw the family's information circulated in the group, including how old the child was, and which elementary school class he was in. He felt that it was a bit too much, so he said in the group: "The virus is very contagious. Low, as long as you avoid contact, you will hardly be infected, there is no need for everyone, everyone has relatives and friends, let's be considerate to each other."

It's a pity that this sentence was quickly submerged in the waves of various crusades, and he said that he is such a poor family, so he might as well let that family live with him, anyway, he won't be infected.

Mu Nan was speechless after reading this, dropped his phone and muttered, "Who are these people?" The neighbors I usually meet are pretty good, although they are not familiar with each other, but most of them are kind, Why is it that across a network, it seems that the world has changed? This has not yet reached the difficult period when humanity will be wiped out.

Qin Huai said: "The prejudice of the general environment is such that it cannot be reversed with a few words."

Mu Nan frowned: "These people won't do anything drastic, right?"

He thought about his last life, but he was still busy between Bi She and manga manuscripts in his last life, because everyone was locked at home, so some online works, such as novels and comics, also had a traffic peak , so the manga editor he signed asked him to increase the amount of manga updates. Every day, just drawing pictures, thinking about the plot, and preparing for the final defense took up all his time. At first, because he had never experienced such a thing , so he pays more attention to the information of the outside world. Gradually getting used to the life of being locked up at home, he became less concerned about some epidemic information, so much so that he now doesn't remember what happened to the family downstairs.

Qin Huai comforted: "No matter what, there shouldn't be any radical actions now. The order has not yet collapsed, and the binding force of the law is still there. They can't do anything other than attack online."

As Qin Huai said, they really can't do much other than crusade on the Internet. Now I feel that there is a virus in the air. Even if I wear a mask, I can try not to go out as much as possible. Not necessarily have the guts.

But when the family information was exposed, countless cursing text messages and phone calls were attacked every day, just through the network channel, it was enough to make the young couple collapse, and now even the slightest movement at the door made them feel like they were in a panic.

Obviously they are the victims of the virus, and they don't want their children to be infected. Now they are treated like this for no reason. Unable to work, their family will have no income for as long as they are locked up at home.

The house they live in is rented, and the family has a little savings, but they can’t afford to consume it every day, especially when their daughter was sick at the beginning, she was admitted to the ICU because of dyspnea. It will also cost thousands of dollars, and they finally survived the hell, and now they are facing a second outbreak. Looking at his innocent and lovely daughter, Mr. Li is full of despair, and Mrs. Li is almost collapsed. At this time, they can't get outside Even though the door was closed and all the Internet calls were closed, the maliciousness still attacked them at every turn.

The most frustrating thing for Mr. Li was that his daughter was watching TV well in the afternoon, and the electricity suddenly went out at home. At that time, Mr. Li didn't think much about it. There are occasional power outages in this kind of old community, and the electricity didn't come until very late. Mr. Li turned on the phone carefully, ignored the cursing messages, and went to the community group to check, but other people's homes were fine, and there was no power outage. It seemed that they were the only ones who had the power outage.

At that time, Mr. Li noticed the problem, so he went out with a flashlight. After looking at it, he found that the wire of his electric meter had been cut by someone.

At that moment, Mr. Li broke out unbearably, and went home angrily to look for scissors and cut their electric meters. Then everyone would have a hard time. Anyway, every household’s electric boxes are outside, and others can cut theirs. You can also cut someone else's.

Mrs. Li was also taken aback when she saw her husband's angry appearance. When she learned the reason, she couldn't stop crying, but she stopped her husband rationally: "Let's go, tell the people in the community For a moment, let them help us arrange to live in another place. Don't be impulsive. You cut off all of their electric meters, and they found it together. , How can I resist them stubbornly, don't make trouble, please husband, I'm scared, I'm really scared."

Mrs. Li was crying while talking, Mr. Li gradually calmed down, and couldn't help crying while hugging his crying wife. They have never harmed anyone, why those neighbors who used to be able to smile and say hello, can force them to do this There is no way out.
