Plague Doctor - Chapter 746
“Hello, Uncle Quan? I’m Peng Bin, yes, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I’ve been very busy before, and I don’t have time to go back and see you… Well, well, you listen to me first, our family wants to move back to the village Lived for a while, yeah, our whole family went back, my mom, my wife, children, and my husband and mother-in-law…”
Guo Pengbin was pacing in his living room, talking on the phone with his mobile phone, and his face’s worries did not show in his tone.
Also in this unit, his wife Yu Qi was busy packing up, and the three old men were also helping.
Only the six-year-old son and the three-year-old daughter were running around happily, unclear about their current situation.
The TV has been turned off. Even if the TV is turned on, there is no detailed report about the occurrence of New York on the other side of the ocean, but Guo Pengbin has learned from the Internet that, indeed, New York was destroyed by the “League of Life Will” and the city’s 8 million People die, they get caught.
Guo Pengbin is not a native of Dongzhou, and his hometown is a remote and impoverished village at a distance from this big city.
Since studying, working in Dongzhou, and then setting up a home, the old father died of cancer and took the old mother out, and transferred the acres of fields and two yellow mud tiles left by the old father to the uncles of Quan Quan, Guo Pengbin has already I have not returned to that small village for several years. The last time I went back was because of the Qingming ancestor worship.
He thought that he would work in Dongzhou until he retired. At that time, the two children had already grown up and became a family. He could enjoy his later life with his wife…
“Uncle Quan, it’s not a few days, it’s not a vacation… It’s a move back to live, I don’t know, it is possible for one or two years… My job? No, the company went bankrupt, um, yes… I still have Some deposits, I plan to go back to rest for a while, and do field work with you…”
Guo Pengbin said this, with a bitter taste in his mouth. He lost his job, but there was no such thing as compensation, and the wages owed did not seem to be lost. Now in this world, it is difficult to find another job immediately, but another bigger question is, is Dongzhou still safe here?
Is such a big city safe?
Who knows where those strange monsters will attack next?
Take a look at the current situation of New York, and before the “Eighteen Disasters in Egypt”, the places where disasters broke out all over the world were cities, and many were still large cities. Looking at this place in Dongzhou, the disasters have been constant over the past few years. It is simply impossible to stay any longer.
Guo Pengbin couldn’t control how others planned, but now he had only one thought, and took his relatives to his hometown to take refuge in Hewei Village.
Hewei Village is far away from the urban area. Over the years, young people have been escaping, and now there are probably less than 100 people, and they are all elderly people. They live in a dilapidated yellow mud house and some old cattle. , Old donkeys and old horses cultivate large fields. Once they are too old to cultivate anymore, those fields will die and Hewei Village will officially die out.
But now, the situation is different…
However, Guo Pengbin must first ask a clear situation: “Uncle Quan, has there been any strange things in the village recently? Weird people? Have you read the news, is that kind of strange disease? Have any doctors been to the village?” His heart grabbed Very tight, for fear of hearing ominous news, even the way home is broken.
“No, I haven’t heard of…” Uncle Quan’s doubtful voice came from the phone, “What’s so strange?”
Guo Pengbin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hewei Village has water and electricity, but the old people basically do not have access to the Internet, and the chances of someone going to that website are very small. He was a little uneasy, but now he can only go back and see.
He knew that people with his own thoughts and actions could not be theirs alone, especially now that there is a wave of unemployment. Many people stay in the city and can’t eat a bite. Why not go? The news of New York is spreading wildly. According to past experience, traffic control will definitely come down soon.
At that time, you may not be able to leave.
“Uncle Quan, let’s go back and say that, that’s how it is first. We drove back by ourselves and set off after a while, which should be there in the early morning.”
For nearly ten hours of driving, besides refueling, he was going to drive back all the way. Perhaps he would only have the slightest sense of security again when he stepped on the land of that quiet village again, instead of being frightened every now and then.
“Say to Uncle Quan.” Guo Pengbin hung up the phone and said to others, but as soon as he saw his wife, mother, and mother-in-law still tidying up like this, they suddenly couldn’t help anxiously saying: “Oh, you are really , Just bring some important things, don’t take anything and leave.”
He said while looking out at the balcony, the weird howling of delirium in patients with abnormal diseases had sounded before.
Really have to hurry to leave, stay here for an extra minute, the more dangerous one minute.
“Everything is missing in the village. It takes a long time to go out to the city…” The mother was still verbose, and she was not very aware of the acuteness.
“Let’s go!” Guo Pengbin said aloud, almost furious: “If you don’t go, you can’t go.”
“All right, what are you doing so loudly.” His wife Yu Qi screamed a little bit dissatisfied, and asked the two old men to listen to him. They had hugged their little daughter and dragged the elder son’s hand. The anger scared.
Guo Pengbin sighed and went silently to grab the suitcase and close it, and asked the old man to carry the suitcases together.
His parents-in-law grew up in the city and have never lived in such a remote rural area. Fortunately, he understands the affair and has no qualms about procrastination; he and his wife are only children and the whole family is here.
Not long after, they finally got out of the door and when they took the elevator downstairs, they met another family member who was carrying big bags and small bags as if they were going to move.
The two families didn’t know each other, but Guo Pengbin looked at a strong man from that family. If there is a tacit understanding, I wish you all luck. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Going downstairs to the parking lot outside, heading straight to his car, adults like Guo Pengbin and Yu Qi put their luggage in the back compartment and took the children into the car until the whole family got in the car. Guo Pengbin couldn’t help but feel foreseeable Bought a seven-seater MPV.
“Have you fastened your seat belts? Sit tight.” Guo Pengbin called and drove the car out of the parking lot and drove out of the community. “Mom, you haven’t worn your seat belts yet! Hurry up.” He paid attention In front of the road conditions, while paying attention to the situation in the car behind.
The adults’ faces are dignified, but the two children are chirping with excitement, wanting to play with a few elders, and look forward to this journey.
Unsurprisingly, the traffic was very congested. Guo Pengbin was heading towards the highway outside the city, but was constantly blocked by traffic jams and traffic lights.
He looked at the long red light and quietly took a deep breath, trying to ease the anxiety in his heart.
Hurry up, hurry up…
Leave the city, leave these high-rise buildings, leave danger, go back to remote villages, and go to places where the whole family can be safe…
