Natural Disaster Apocalypse - Chapter 172
I know that people rarely come out during the day, unless they are the kind of people who come to the newspaper office with the heart of death, but usually this kind of people will not be in their area. I couldn’t bear to die, so after a whole night of exhaustion, those who could go back to their homes went back to rest. Those whose houses were burned and temporarily lost their residences were also arranged with the neighborhood committee.
Before going to sleep, Mu Nan put plasters on himself and Qin Huai. Before falling asleep, he thought that he should take out the dumbbells in the space. Running every day to exercise physical strength didn’t seem to be enough.
This time, Mu Nan didn’t sleep well. Sometimes he was chased by people on motorcycles, and sometimes he was trapped in a burning house. The most outrageous thing was that Qin Huai actually stood in the well and looked at him in such a big fire. Beckon and say that there is water in the well and come down quickly.
In the dream, he jumped down immediately, and he woke up in a cold sweat before he was full of shit. The last dream was too scary and weird, and it felt like it could be escalated into a supernatural event at any time.
Qin Huai, who got up half an hour earlier than Mu Nan, saw that he woke up with a dazed face, and twisted a towel for him: “Did you have a nightmare?”
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai and shivered involuntarily. He couldn’t look directly at Qin Huai for the time being. The scene of him standing in the well waving his hands was so powerful that it scared him to death.
Covering his face with a cool towel, it dissipated the heat from his cheeks and the sticky sweat on his forehead. This sleep was more tiring than no sleep at all. Mu Nan got up limply, ready to take a bath. Before entering the bathroom, he saw Qin Huai walking towards the kitchen. He remembered that he said yesterday that he would refill the refrigerator today, and there was nothing in the refrigerator, so he followed Qin Huai into the kitchen.
Qin Huai took out the last few eggs from the refrigerator, and asked Mu Nan who was replenishing the refrigerator, “Do you want fried eggs?”
Mu Nan nodded, hummed weakly, Qin Huai put down the egg, turned around and checked the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand, it was normal, Wen Wenliangliang didn’t feel hot, and then said: “If you haven’t slept well, wait a minute Go to sleep after eating.”
Mu Nan shook his head, refilled the egg rack on the refrigerator door, put a few bottles of beer under it, and refilled the Coke Sprite, didn’t put too many vegetables, those things don’t taste good after a long time, put them outside Just in case Qin Huai wanted to eat it, he couldn’t get it right away while he was sleeping. There were also some side dishes, and the empty sauce bottles were cleared out once. In the freezer, the big green prawns, steak, shumai, shrimp dumpling, ice cream, and fresh It was stuffed to the brim.
After tossing about the refrigerator, Mu Nan woke up from the weakness of the nightmare all night, yawned, saw Qin Huai start frying eggs, didn’t bother to wash his face and brush his teeth, leaned on the kitchen counter and said, “I have a meal today.” Is the news out? I haven’t looked at my phone yet.”
Qin Huai: “It came out, but it’s not official news. There was a lot of commotion here yesterday. Those houses that caught fire, and the death of the farmer’s family at the beginning can’t be hidden, so all kinds of news today Flying all over the sky, but the official has not yet made a sound.”
Mu Nan sighed: “I don’t even dare to think about what the world will be like tomorrow. If you talk about other people, how hopeless it is.”
Qin Huai stretched out a hand and rubbed his head, while turning over the eggs in the pan: “What can we do, the east rises and the west sinks, we live every day, if we can’t make it through, we will go to the mountains to be savages, how old are you?” Do something, okay, go take a shower, and breakfast will be ready after washing.”
After taking a morning shower to wash off the stickiness all over her body, Mu Nan lowered the temperature of the air conditioner a bit. It was rather hot during the day, but it would be too uncomfortable to use the temperature at night to sleep. She sat on the small bench refreshingly, while swiping her phone , I’m going to ask about Daniel’s situation. When Daniel notified them yesterday, the video was shaking so much that I couldn’t see his situation clearly. Before going to bed, Daniel reported that he was safe in the group, but he was too tired. I didn’t ask anything, I don’t know if Daniel has time at the moment.
Qin Huai brought in breakfast, fried eggs with coarse salt, a bowl of eggnog, a few slices of fried luncheon meat, and finger pancakes, with hot and sour potato shredded cold dishes, refreshing kelp shreds, and a small plate of kimchi . Mu Nan wanted to eat rolls, so Qin Huai made him a roll, but unfortunately the eggnog was hot, if it was iced eggnog, it would be more comfortable.
When he opened the group chat while having breakfast, he saw that the chat history was 99+. It seemed that the people next door woke up early and were asking about Daniel’s situation in the group.
It is estimated that it was too much tossing yesterday, so Da Niu was arranged to take a vacation today, so that he had time to answer their doubts.
Mu Nan pulled the news to the above and did an autopsy. Those people’s minds were all empty, and they became a dense spider web. Daniel didn’t know the specific situation. He just heard from his colleagues what kind of prions they were and whether they were contagious. I don’t know about sex, anyway, people who have eaten fish are dying one after another, and then some people have already had initial headache symptoms, and they go crazy, and want to drag more people to die together. “
Qin Huai frowned slightly: “So those who caused trouble yesterday were those who got sick?”
Mu Nan nodded: “That’s what Daniel said. What is a prion? I haven’t heard of it. It shouldn’t be contagious. I have found out what kind of virus I have been infected with. If it is transmitted from person to person, then the above It must have been notified a long time ago, it is impossible that there is no news at all now.”
“Regardless of whether it is contagious or not, do not go out during this period and do not come into contact with strangers.”
Mu Nan was still a little worried: “Does anyone who eats fish get this? Then we all ate it, but nothing happened. Will they get suspicious?”
Qin Huai shook his head and said: “Not everyone who eats fish will have an accident, otherwise Shi Yuanfei would have found it long ago. It should be that some of the fish have problems, and the other part of the fish is simply broken. Look at the forum, there are quite a few people who have eaten it. The fish are communicating, at least some of them are safe and have no symptoms for now.”
It is estimated that Jian Chu and the others have been staring at some group chat forums during this time, and they should have seen some people saying that the fish they ate was not bad, so in the eyes of Jian Chu and others, it was just luck but not the same. Not alone.
Most of their families here are not bad, and they can afford fish, so except for those who took advantage of the chaos to grab fish from other people’s stalls, those who spent money to buy fish at that time lived in several nearby districts, so there was a little movement , There must be news in their community group. I have seen this kind of news a lot, and they have a certain degree of immunity. Therefore, the neighbors on both sides seem to be in good condition these days, and it seems that they are slowly letting go of this matter. I don’t care so much anymore.
They ate fish from Mu Nan’s space that day, which was very fresh. At first, Qin Huai was worried that if the carload of fish were all rotten, it would be hard to say, but he observed in the past few days that the carload of fish was indeed I was given kickbacks, so the ones I bought were all dead or dying.
Therefore, some of the undead fish are directly frozen. After this part is thawed, it is just an ordinary dead fish. It has not rotted or deteriorated. There are also some dead fish that have a tendency to rot, but it may be pure rot, so it’s okay to eat.
Only a small number of people were involved in the accident. Although the existence of this small number of people is a kind of panic for all people who eat fish, as long as they are not all, they are considered safe.
Probably no one thought that the matter could develop to such a serious level after just one shipment.
The group is still chatting, and Daniel doesn’t know too much news, but because the neighborhood committee is a channel for receiving information, he knows more than them.
Some of those people who made trouble yesterday were fish eaters with initial symptoms. These people took advantage of the chaos and snatched a few fish from other people’s stalls. They were reluctant to throw them away, thinking they would cook them thoroughly , Eat as much as you can, but it turns out that they are greedy, but they hate the consequences of greed on innocent people.
There are indeed two farm owners who live in the second district, and there are quite a few who have contracted private farms. Now the indoor fields in the outer suburbs are still being covered one by one. Some contractors simply live in the farms and build them next to them. A house, anyway, is within the scope of the farm, and a piece of land will be approved for self-built houses.
But building a house also requires finding workers. Some people put all their family assets into the farm, just want to harvest a batch of grain to make some money, and then hire people to build a house, so they still live in the second district and have not moved. go to the farm.
Those who live in the farm will be inspected by soldiers, because it is related to people’s future rations. Even privately contracted farms are also within the scope of military inspections, so those who want to retaliate dare not go there, because they know that they will not mess with them. rise.
Some of them still live in the second district temporarily because they have no money to build houses, but those people have nothing to do with the fish sellers, it is just because they are not struggling with poverty and disease, and they are still able to engage in farms and capital. In the eyes of those who were already sick, they belonged to the same group, so thinking that they were going to die anyway, they might as well drag more people to die together.
That’s how the incident happened last night.
Except for this part who got sick, so the whole person went to extremes, and part of him followed the booing before, went to the farm to grab a wave and tasted the sweetness, so this time he acted together again, probably the first victory of gathering the crowd, let They felt that as long as there were many people, even if they were arrested, they would not be able to catch them. With the idea of seeking wealth and danger, they made a fuss again.
But this time the development was obviously out of their plan. Originally, they thought they were coming to rob a wave of rich people, and they ran away immediately after robbing the rich and helping the poor. After being beaten, the house was covered with blood, and the house was burned down.
After realizing that this time was not a simple robbery, some people were timid and ran away first.
Some people were overwhelmed by the atmosphere at the time, thinking that this was the starting point for them to mess around. Not only were they not afraid, but they also felt that they were just like those in the Young and Dangerous movies. In the evening, he was arrested.
As for the one who smashed the oil bottle on a motorcycle, those two were sick. When they were finally taken away, they were dying but still alive. There is no way to relieve the pain or reduce the inflammation. All I have to bear to catch my breath is extreme pain, but I can’t die for the time being.
The two burned several houses along the way. Some people ran out in time, and some closed their doors and windows and didn’t hear the movement outside. When they found out, the fire had already surrounded the house. Now the water pipes stopped, and they wanted to put out the fire. I can only go to the water station to fetch water. During this time, I come and go again and again, and it takes several lives.
The final fate of these two people also deserved what they deserved.
The movement last night became the focus of attention of the entire residential area, and the announcement was made quickly. When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, the judgment from the upper management came out. Depending on the degree of severity, there is no death penalty. Now as long as a person is a laborer, even if he is sick and dying, as long as he can get up, he has to move bricks to rebuild.
Those who commit minor crimes also work to atone for their sins, and they can work for as long as they are sentenced.
In addition, relevant records will be left on the identity cards of the immediate family members of the offender. Whether they are looking for a job or receiving assistance in the future, they will be treated differently from ordinary people.
People who have contributed to the country, such as medical staff, scientific researchers, and even skilled workers with outstanding contributions, will receive special preferential treatment. If there are sacrifices, their children and relatives will also receive additional preferential treatment. In the same way, if offenders are punished, their children’s immediate relatives will also have to be treated specially.
It was definitely impossible to implement this kind of joint sitting before, but now, this kind of joint sitting can only be used to restrain people who walk on the edge of morality.
Looking at the extremely lively community groups and forums following the announcement issued by the government, Mu Nan sighed: “This has advantages and disadvantages, but it can only be said that special treatment is given during special times, like those who can’t survive themselves and wish to hold everyone together. People who die together feel that most of them are lonely, even if they have family members, the family relationship may not be very good, or even cut off contact, but it is a bit unjust to be marked as a prisoner’s family because of this.”
Not to mention far away, but nearby, their neighbors have superb parents, Mu Nan: “For example, Yang Jing’s parents, if they commit crimes, then Yang Jing will be the one who will be punished. Do you think Yang Jing is wronged or not?” ?”
Thinking about it this way, Mu Nan suddenly felt that this hadn’t happened to him, so whether it was in the group or on the forum, the majority of people applauded this move. When this kind of irreversible helplessness happened to him, Only then will I feel how unfair this is: “So this matter can only restrict those who still have conscience and morality, those who really don’t care about anything, how can they be restrained by just sitting down.”
Qin Huai was listening to his babbling at the side, and saw the chat in the group after a while, and exclaimed: “Brother, we will launch a credit value on our ID card in the future.”
Qin Huai hadn’t heard of this before, so he turned his head and looked over: “What is it?”
Mu Nan continued to pick up the news, but it is probably just some hearsay, and the specific people in the group seem to know it too well, but one thing seems to be certain: “It is in terms of work and social contribution. , there are also some levels that are temporarily unexpected, like the payment software we used before, wouldn’t credit be assessed for loans and the like? It probably means the same thing, but there may be more things assessed, and then if the credit value is lower than what? Value, certain activities will be restricted, such as renting a car and buying gasoline.”
If there is really an extra credit value model, then you don’t need to think about it to know why it was introduced. Last night, those two people changed the policy of the place of residence by themselves.
Mu Nan turned to the forum, and sure enough, everyone dug up a lot of information about the two people who set fire yesterday.
In terms of work, these two people have jobs. Now many industries are recovering, the rise of some factories, the development of new urban areas, and the reconstruction of urban areas are all progressing slowly. As a means of transportation for human beings, vehicles naturally Needless to say, in the previous earthquake, many vehicles were crushed, but some were only slightly damaged. Some people dragged many scrapped cars from the urban area, disassembled parts and other materials and reassembled them into usable vehicles.
The two of them worked in the auto repair shop, and even their motorcycle was assembled by dismantling parts from a pile of broken copper and iron.
It is precisely because of this craftsmanship that their wages are not low, so they are more willing to part with themselves. Therefore, they bought the fish with their own money, and eventually fell ill. The daily pain tells them that their lives are coming to an end , I have accumulated too much dissatisfaction and resentment towards the world in my heart. I used to be a dirty auto mechanic who took the bus and some people disliked the smell of gasoline. Now I can be regarded as a high-tech worker. dying.
Whoever got up from the trough, just climbed to a high point and then fell again, would probably go crazy.
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet about what happened last night. You can click on any forum and it will be a related topic. Whether it’s the comics section, film section or even the food section, there are people talking about it. Throw the phone aside and continue with the unfinished painting yesterday.
As soon as Qin Huai turned his head, he recognized the painting was himself at a glance. He immediately smiled and stretched out his arms around the person’s waist, his chest pressed tightly against Mu Nan’s back, his chin resting on his shoulder, and said softly: “You used to They don’t even draw mine.”
Mu Nan snorted: “There are not many paintings, I painted all your previous avatars.”
“That’s the q version, don’t count, I haven’t drawn this kind of sketch before.”
Mu Nan didn’t say a word, the q version is simple, as long as you catch a three-point similar shape, the other details will be cute and you will not make mistakes, but it’s not so easy to be realistic, the details, light and shadow, angle, and charm are a little bit worse, then The painting doesn’t look like it, as long as there is a little difference, the whole painting will be ugly.
Mu Nan couldn’t accept that he made Qin Huai ugly. In his heart, Qin Huai would always be the most handsome one, so he didn’t dare to draw before, even if he did, he did it secretly, but he was not satisfied at all. He didn’t want to stay to be black history, so he didn’t draw a picture of Qin Huai that he was satisfied with throughout his student days.
But in fact, among all his body sketches, he only drew Qin Huai, but Qin Huai didn’t know about it.
There are several picture books in his space, all of which are Qin Huai, from his memory, from his imagination, from the youthful campus style, from the shopping mall elite model, until he can no longer imagine what Qin Huai looked like when he grew up. Never drew anyone again.
Thinking about it, Mu Nan still felt a little regretful, so she turned her head slightly to Qin Huai and said, “I regret that I didn’t draw you properly when I was in school. Obviously, when you were playing basketball, I had so much time to draw you.”
Qin Huai kissed him lightly on the lips: “Why didn’t you want to draw at that time?”
Mu Nan smiled embarrassedly and said, “Because the drawing is not good, I want to draw you better.”
“At that time, my painting skills were not good, and I was very amateurish. I was not satisfied with how I looked at it. I thought I could draw better in the future. I will draw again when the time comes. You said before that when I went to college, I chose a club. If there is no accident, I still want to draw. Basketball club, I think I will definitely not be able to get into your school. I can only get into an art school at most, but it doesn’t matter. Choose the one closest to you. When you play, I will sneak into your school with a drawing board on my back. At that time, my drawing skills will definitely improve, and I will be able to draw you when you are playing.”
At that time, I always felt that there was still a lot of time, and they were still young.
Thinking of her childish thoughts before, Mu Nan sighed softly: “It would be great if I could go back to that time, I will definitely draw many, many pictures of you.”
Qin Huai kissed all his unfinished sighs into his lips: “You don’t need to go back to that time, when the outside is calm this time, I’ll show you how to play basketball. Wearing a white shirt and jeans, you must still look like you did when you were a student.” .”
Mu Nan poked Qin Huai’s cheek: “You’re already in trouble, sorry?”
Qin Huai grabbed his hand, put it in his mouth, and bit it lightly: “Sorry, of course, Nannan, I can show you whatever you want to see about me.”
Mu Nan swallowed, listening to Qin Huai’s words, his mind was full of his high school uniform, the special period between youth and maturity, and also the best period of life, but what he thought was, in that time During the period, the scene of taking off the uniform of Qinhuai High School.
If you just think about it, Mu Nan will die.
In high school, take off his brother’s clothes, what a thrill!
Seeing that Mu Nan’s eyes became a little strange, Qin Huai moved closer: “What are you thinking?”
Mu Nan shook his head quickly, and looked at him innocently: “I didn’t think about anything!”
The little theater in my mind must not be said, if I say this, I will think with my toes that I will not live until tomorrow, or die in bed!
But Mu Nan didn’t say anything, Gu Qianhuo’s eyes, which he couldn’t control anymore, directly set Qin Huai on fire.
What should I do if there is a fire? I can only close the door and pull the lights to put out the fire.
