Chapter 27 Virus Infection Day 1

At the moment, it seems that Su You is capable of protecting himself and Amber. She just came here to purchase some supplies, which has nothing to do with her.

In this situation, she would not choose to stand out and expose her own advantages.

As someone who has been in the apocalypse for three years, she knows too well what the consequences will be for those who try to stand out. Moreover, being in a foreign country, people here may not necessarily believe a strange oriental woman, so Su You chooses to wait and see.

After talking so much with Su You, Li Xiannian seemed a little excited. He took a sip of water and continued, "Miss Su, to be honest, I gave up my business in China just to be able to retire here and live with my son and grandchildren. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen. Serena's father is too obsessed with studying biological viruses. I always felt that this was not a good thing. I didn't expect it to really happen."

As he spoke, Li Xiannian's eyes seemed to dim. After he said so much, Su You understood what he meant. He had completely lost hope for the survival of his son in the laboratory.

Su You comforted him: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe it's just a signal problem. Researchers are still working hard to develop a virus vaccine and haven't had time to contact your family."

She paused, then continued, "After all, this is a major event concerning the entire city."

Li Xiannian leaned on his cane, shook his head, and sighed, as if he didn't have much hope. "Oh, if that's the case, that would be great. I've lived enough of my life. It would be better if I were the one to die."

He had lived his whole life and seemed to understand this kind of thing very clearly, but he sighed from time to time, like some kind of lonely old man in his twilight years.

Su You also understood that it was futile to comfort him, so he stopped talking and looked at the increasingly heavy rain outside the window. He always felt that this villa complex was not as peaceful as it seemed.

At this time, Selena came down wearing casual sportswear. Seeing the three people still there, she nodded in greeting.

The old butler followed behind and handed over a tablet that displayed news notifications about the villa complex.

Faced with this situation, someone has already stepped forward to act as the first leader.

The first thing he did was to ask each villa to have one person come out to register the household situation, including how many people were there, men, women, young and old, their occupations, whether there were any sick people at home, whether there were any regular and emergency medicines, how much food and grain was left, and how many days of survival they could sustain.

Another thing is whether the young and strong men in the family can come out to form a patrol team to work with the security team to maintain community order and resist foreign enemies.

As soon as this person came out, he was strongly refuted. Most people thought that this violated their privacy. Since this place was located on the island around the lake, it was very safe. Besides, now they were hiding in a warm and comfortable villa, who would be willing to go out and do such dirty and tiring work? So they chose not to participate.

Li Xiannian hesitated after taking a look. "This Bassen lives not far from our villa. He's the closest resident to us in this community. According to legend, he used to be an arms dealer. He made his money illicitly, but later laundered it and went ashore. He owns a company. Everyone here is very wary of him. They're afraid he'll shoot someone if he accidentally says something wrong."

So, he decided to wait and see.

Soon, a resident in the group spoke up to refute him: "If you want to guard the basement, go ahead and do it. I'm not going. I have plenty of food and water in my basement, and I've also converted a survival fort into a shelter long ago. It's enough for me to live comfortably for a whole year."

As he spoke, in order to prove himself, he also posted pictures of shelves full of goods, row after row, which looked like a lot of food and drink. He even placed a bottle of red wine on the round table in front of him and drank the wine comfortably to prove that what he said was true.

He is a programmer by profession and also a doomsday survival enthusiast. He usually tinkers with a lot of survival equipment at home, including generators, large amounts of diesel, self-defense equipment, compressed food, clean water and water purification equipment, etc.

Seeing that this person had stockpiled a large amount of supplies on a daily basis, every resident felt envious. Although they also had underground wine cellars and basements, it was rare to find someone as well prepared as this.

This hoarding enthusiast seemed very excited too. His plan was just the right thing to do to deal with the sudden zombie crisis, just as he had expected.

He even said that the basement where he lives now is very safe. It has a deep cement layer that even bunker-buster bombs cannot penetrate, so there is no need to go out at all, and people don't need to contact him if they have any activities.

Someone in the group immediately came out to accuse him, saying that he was showing off his stuff and asked him to hand over some of it.

Of course this person disagrees.

Soon, the group was in an uproar.

This doomsday survival enthusiast always treats everyone with a teasing attitude, and the screen is full of an innate sense of superiority.

After seeing this, Su You was speechless.

She couldn't tell now whether this man was smart or not.

If he was clever, it was because he had built a sturdy underground fortress, stockpiled compressed biscuits, canned fruits and fish, clean mineral water, and doomsday emergency equipment such as emergency lights, alcohol gauze, matches, and radios. He seemed to have some brains and was prepared.

You could say he is not smart, but this guy is just showing off his superiority in the group, mocking others as being stupid and ignorant, showing off his intelligence to prove that he is right.

Once this behavior arouses jealousy from others, even if the big brother's underground fortress is solid and reliable, she suspects it will trigger public hatred and lead to worse consequences.

Since Li Xiannian also disagreed with forming a team, Su You would not say anything.

She was also worried that there was something wrong with the temporary leader who stepped forward.

The violent organizations formed in such isolated island situations often lack order and may not be noticeable in the early stages. However, once food becomes scarce, they will use force to suppress others and obtain more material rewards.

Li Xiannian also vaguely felt the crisis.

So he ordered the housekeeper and servants to close the doors and windows tightly, and to use cabinets and wardrobes to block the necessary places to prevent people from breaking into the house and stealing. Even if the neighbors got along well with each other on weekdays, they still had to guard against this danger.

The old housekeeper immediately led people to start working, cleaned the basement, and prepared food and water inside.

After arranging all this, Li Xiannian felt a little tired and prepared to say goodbye and go back to his room to rest.

Su You and Amber also returned to their rooms.

The windowsill of this bedroom has been sealed and locked.

It was raining heavily outside, with occasional lightning flashing, crackling on the window glass and the leaves outside. A whole two-meter-tall banana tree began to sway from side to side and bent under the weight.

Su You looked at the scene in front of him and frowned slightly.

She felt vaguely uneasy.

The rain is so heavy. Today is the first day of the zombie virus outbreak, and there are many newly infected people.

The rain washed the earth and also washed away these monsters.

These monsters roam the streets, their wounds exposed, and the virus hidden in their blood. Will it be washed into the underground sewers and mixed into the river system by rainwater?
