Chapter 122

Mu Nan didn't stay in the hospital for too long. The substances he inhaled were not heavy. It might be that Liang Yu had not originally planned to let him die too comfortably. Since this person was fine, it would be better for him to be discharged from the hospital earlier. There was no need to take up medical resources.

After Mu Nan was discharged from the hospital, Qin Bing also came to see him once. Qin Bing was originally responsible for patrolling this area. Now he was also responsible for the explosion and the dismemberment case here, so he naturally knew more.

"Liang Yu must have been eyeing you for a long time. There are photos of several boys in his phone, including the four boys whose bodies were dismembered at the beginning, the victim in the second case, and yours. In addition, there are photos of seven other people, from District 1 to District 3. The common characteristics of these people are that they are male, young, and look likable and harmless."

Mu Nan couldn't help but called him a pervert again.

Qin Bing said, "He is indeed a psychopath who enjoys killing people. Due to the current environment, we cannot investigate his past, but from the people who have come into contact with him, he mentioned his younger brother the most. He is not very old and is similar to the targets he has targeted. So the source of his killings and the person who caused his psychological distortion are likely related to his younger brother. He has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. When he came into contact with previous victims, he would first secretly select the target and then avoid contact with others. He used his gentle temperament and appearance to reduce the target's vigilance, and disguised himself as a warm and familiar personality to approach the target."

Mu Nan said: "But when he approached me, there were many people around him. We met when we were getting our ID cards."

Qin Bing: "So he was tempted to kill you on impulse, which is also related to the fact that you rarely go out. You didn't go out, so he had never seen you. Suddenly seeing you was in line with his goal and intention. Even your obvious vigilance further stimulated him. That's why he chose to break into your yard when there were almost no people in it. We checked the traces and found that he climbed over the wall next to your house, that is, Xu Ming's side, and broke into your back door. At that time, the Huang family was noisy, which covered up a lot of noise. He acted very carefully and didn't even alarm Niuniu. If it weren't for the explosion, if he hadn't had any social interactions with the victim, it would probably kill a lot of people if he was caught."

Qin Huai poured a glass of ice water and handed it to Qin Bing: "Can we be sure that the murderer is only Liang Yu and he has no other accomplices?"

Qin Bing nodded: "He has no accomplices. He doesn't kill for profit, so he doesn't need accomplices."

Qin Huai said: "Can you help us keep an eye out for dogs for sale? They are large dogs with high lethality, so it doesn't matter if they eat a lot."

Qin Bing said, "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you, but it's probably hard to find now. It's a pity that the dog next door is neutered. That dog has good genes."

We can only keep an eye on this matter. There are also dogs at the military base, but the dogs at the base are not allowed to breed casually. They can only be allowed to do so when they reach a certain age. So if you want one, you can only wait and see.

After Qin Bing left, Mu Nan was pulled upstairs by Qin Huai. The situation at home was okay. The balcony door and windows were replaced with new ones, the cracked walls were filled, and the furniture in the house was not damaged much. There were not many furniture to begin with. Mu Nan was glad that he had always been careful not to leave too many things that could not be had at this time outside. He had habitually put them away in the space after eating or using them. Otherwise, when people rushed in to rescue him last time and saw a pile of fruits or food that would definitely not be in his house at this time, he would be doomed.

Mu Nan's subsequent reaction was better than Qin Huai expected. Although he was indeed a little scared this time, after all, the pervert had pointed a knife at him, but the past was the past. He had died once, and this time it was just a close call. So when Qin Huai told him not to think about it anymore, he really didn't think about it anymore. However, Mu Nan felt that he was just scared in the end and didn't dare to look at the cabinet falling down. It was also a kind of escape. Without seeing the scene, he could deceive himself. This matter had nothing to do with him.

After a few days of recuperation, his throat no longer hurt when he was discharged from the hospital, but Qin Huai still kept an eye on his diet. In addition, Qin Huai planned to install a few more doors in the house.

Listening to Qin Huai's plan, Mu Nan couldn't help but say, "It's a good small three-story house. We're not sharing the house with anyone. It will be ugly if we mess it up like this."

Qin Huai: "Which is more important, appearance or safety? Let's do it this way first. Build a door on the second floor and a door on the third floor. When we start to build the wall on the roof to make a planting room, we will remove the partition with Jian Chu and his family, and then install a door that can be locked from both inside and outside. In the future, if there is any situation at home, with more doors, you will have more time to escape."

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai: "When will you go back to work?"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Who was the one who least wanted me to go to work? Now the temperature is rising again. It was already 47 degrees yesterday. It will exceed 50 degrees in a few days. It's so unsafe to stay out at night. Isn't it better for me to stay at home?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "I want you not to go to work when you don't want to, but I don't want you to not go to work because of me. Look, you installed several more doors at home, then this kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future. Besides, there are not so many perverts in the world. This time we were unlucky. We went to get an ID card and were targeted by a pervert. Just be careful next time."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Go to work, go to work. I didn't resign. I just took a few more days off. I'll go to work after the doors at home are installed." Mu Nan was relieved. He really didn't want Qin Huai to work hard outside, but he didn't want Qin Huai to stay at home feeling guilty because of what happened to him. He would feel even worse and feel more like a burden. Seeing that Qin Huai was in a stable state of mind and didn't continue to blame himself for the accident, Mu Nan felt a little relieved.

Qin Huai had indeed planned to resign, but obviously not now. Resigning now would not do any good except to bring pressure to Mu Nan. Just as Mu Nan said, there were not many perverts like Liang Yu, and maybe he would never meet one for the second time in his life. But it was also a fact that he felt unsafe now, but nothing should happen in the short term.

Another thing is that he had to resolve the hidden danger of Jiang Xuan before he could resign. Qin Huai might not be able to sleep well at night with someone who hated them behind his back.

The day after Mu Nan was discharged from the hospital, Jian Chu was also discharged. However, compared to Mu Nan who was discharged in high spirits without any problems, Jian Chu really suffered a lot this time. His stomach was almost killed by parasites. After taking the anthelmintic, the medicine worked, but the dosage of the effective medicine was not enough, and it was not specifically targeted at this kind of mutant insects. The pain when killing the insects was so severe that he almost went into shock. There were only two pills left on the plate of anthelmintic. He had a check-up before being discharged, and his intestines were severely damaged. He also bled once and almost had a perforation. When he returned home, he was carried upstairs by Yu Zibai.

Mu Nan went to check on Jian Chu. It had only been a few days, but he had lost so much weight that he was almost unrecognizable. He looked more like someone who had been saved from death than him.

Jian Chu was in such a miserable state, but he still asked Mu Nan: "Are you okay? Are you scared?"

Mu Nan quickly said: "I'm fine, are you still in pain?"

Jian Chu shook his head: "It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm alive, thank you for your medicine, not those medicines, which would have really killed me this time."

Mu Nan asked: "Did you drink raw water?" Apart from this reason, he couldn't think of any other channel of infection.

Jian Chu said: "How is that possible? I would never drink raw water no matter how thirsty I am. It should be the food in the cafeteria, or the soup in the cafeteria. It's just that I was unlucky and got infected."

In their information building, the number of people who eat in the cafeteria has exceeded twenty people who have been infected, and he is one of the unlucky ones. The time of infection is almost the same, so there must be something wrong with the food they eat together. Of course, there is compensation in this matter, but it is just a little extra salary, some food, and a job that he can return to at any time after he has recovered.

But how many people can take anthelmintic drugs to save their lives from intestinal infections? It's not like Song Jia, who was bitten by a mosquito and got infected, and can be cured by cleaning the wound and the eggs. Even if it's a bite, it can be as serious as Hu Xuan's, which is still very dangerous. So even if Jian Chu is discharged from the hospital now, his damaged body cannot be recovered in a day or two. Naturally, he can't continue to work, but he still has to get the compensation he deserves. A few months of extra salary is at least an income.

Seeing that Jian Chu was in a really bad condition, Mu Nan talked to him for a while, then gave Yu Zibai a few moxa sticks and left. Now we know that the red-headed mosquito is one of the biggest sources of infection, so of course we have to take good precautions. He couldn't give mosquito coils, as there were no mosquito coils for sale outside at present, but everyone knew that their family had some moxa sticks, so he gave some to each family. Don't be afraid to be bitten by a problematic mosquito again after having finally saved your life, that would be really fatal.

When Mu Nan got home, he saw Qin Huai staring at a water pipe in the house, so he quickly went over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Qin Huai pointed to the place where the filter was connected. The filter Qin Huai bought was transparent, which meant that one could directly see the water before and after filtration. At this moment, in the part of the filter that was connected to the water pipe, there were several white worms swimming in the water, but they were blocked by the filter and could not pass through the filter. Because they were blocked, there were a lot of them piled up, and there were more than ten at a glance.

Mu Nan's scalp tingled and he felt nauseous.

Qin Huai patted him on the back and pushed him away: "Go to your room."

Mu Nan looked disgusted: "Then what are you doing here, watching such disgusting things?"

Qin Huai said, "I'll take these bugs out and see if our disinfectant tablets can kill them. It's still a little unsafe to just rely on this filter. Although we don't drink this water, we need it for washing clothes, watering vegetables, and cleaning the house. If the filter can filter out some of them, and then use disinfectant tablets to kill some, it will be safer with double insurance."

Mu Nan handed Qin Huai a box of disinfectant tablets: "Then you take a look. I don't want to look at this. It's too disgusting." Especially since he almost swallowed this kind of bug into his mouth while brushing his teeth that morning, it was even more disgusting.

This kind of worm seems to be able to grow very large. Although it is only one or two centimeters long now, it is said that it can grow very long. Jian Chu's stomach is also infected with this kind of worm. When Mu Nan thinks that this kind of worm can grow to an infinite size in the human body and stomach, he feels sick.

Qin Huai found a bucket, removed the filter, and poured the accumulated insects into the bucket. He then put another bucket of water in the bucket. It was obvious that there were quite a few insects in the pipes. Just with this bucket of water, a few more insects appeared. Qin Huai put a disinfectant tablet in the bucket and left it alone. When he went to check again a few hours later, all the insects were dead.

“The effect is good and can be used.”

Mu Nan took a look from a distance. He had just finished his meal. If he looked closer, he might not be able to help but ask, "Are they all dead?"

Qin Huai nodded: "Put a slightly larger container in the bathroom, a transparent one."

Mu Nan asked in confusion: "Why? Collect water to disinfect and then take a shower?"

Qin Huai said: "I modified it and connected the water pipes connected to the washing machine and the shower to the container. I installed a filter on the water pipes, put disinfectant tablets in the container, and installed another filter on the faucet of the external interface. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is safer to have three layers of filtration. However, the water used with disinfectant tablets cannot be used to water the vegetables. For watering the vegetables, use the water from the kitchen on the second floor. I also installed a filter on the faucet, but for watering the vegetables, one layer of filtration is enough."

Mu Nan felt that doing this once really increased his sense of security, so he quickly searched for containers in the space. Their bathroom was quite large, so there should be space for a bathtub. Mu Nan found a large container about 2.5 meters high and 2 meters long and placed it against the wall. He also had a bunch of tools and water pipes that Qin Huai wanted. After spending most of the night, he finally modified the container.

There are two holes, one in front and one in the back. One is for the water inlet and the other is for the washing machine and shower. The whole container is transparent, and the water source inside can be seen at a glance. There is a cover on it, which can prevent mosquitoes from polluting the water source. From time to time, throw two disinfectant tablets in, and then clean the container regularly. Although it is troublesome, it is safe to use water. As for eating and drinking, you can only use the bottled mineral water in the space. Anyway, there is a lot of storage, and it can be used for a long time if you save it.

The tapeworm outbreak is very serious. The official website has already provided very detailed information about this worm, but under the current conditions, in addition to trying to prevent mosquito bites, you can only try to boil the water before use. After the mutation, this worm has strong vitality, but it cannot outlast boiling water at 100 degrees. To ensure safety, the incoming water must be boiled for more than ten minutes to effectively kill the eggs and other parasites carried in the water.

But the problem is that not everyone in the residential area has the conditions to boil water, especially many people who come from other places after the weather turns warmer. Some are transferred here after being isolated and observed in indoor isolation points, and some leave the city early but can't stand it after enduring a winter and come here. As long as people come and have not gotten sick after being isolated and observed, the government will accept them all and try to arrange work and accommodation for them, but there are differences in conditions.

People like them, whether they live in townhouses, apartment buildings, or some small low-rise buildings built in the back, have relatively good conditions, at least they have water, electricity, and gas. But now there are still a bunch of people crowded in a big shed outside, waiting for accommodation and work arrangements. Apart from eating the big pot meals distributed by their superiors, they have no conditions to eat and drink for themselves.

They can only eat what can be found on it. Although after the outbreak of tapeworms, the hygiene and safety of food in many canteens have been raised to the highest level, there is no problem if the food is cooked at high temperature, but the hot weather is a problem. When the weather is hot, coupled with the rampant various mosquitoes, it is a miracle not to get sick or infected.

More and more people were infected, the situation became more and more serious, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, making the already harsh environment even worse.

The rising temperature makes food more perishable, and mosquitoes, perhaps because they have experienced extreme heat and extreme cold, have become more heat-resistant. In the climate outside that is over 50 degrees, not only have their numbers not decreased, but they have multiplied even more.

The higher-ups had organized two extermination operations, but they could not last for a few days as the mosquitoes began to increase in number again. At this time, Qin Huai also resigned and went home. Naturally, the higher-ups tried their best to retain such a capable person as him, but Qin Huai had already made up his mind, and no one could change it except Mu Nan. When he resigned, it had been a month since the last accident.

The few people who followed Qin Huai at the beginning looked at him packing up with reluctance: "Brother Qin, are you really not going to do this? Such a good job opportunity."

Qin Huai smiled as he sorted out his own books and some documents that he was going to hand over to the next person: "No more. When work becomes a dangerous thing, there is naturally no need to continue." Especially since the person he wanted to deal with had already been dealt with.

Jiang Xuan was infected. Just a week ago, when the tapeworm outbreak first started, many people who ate communal meals in many places were infected. Naturally, there were many infected people in their information building. Perhaps it was not because the food was not cooked at high temperature for a long time, but it was also possible that it was contaminated by flying mosquitoes during the transportation process. But Jiang Xuan was lucky and he was fine. But while he was fine, his mother was infected and had many pustules on her body.

Her husband had just passed away not long ago, and now this kind of thing happened again. With more pustules on her body, her body would induce various inflammations. Jiang Xuan didn't even have time to find connections to send his mother to the hospital before his mother passed away.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Xuan. He had become so twisted that he blamed Qin Huai for his mother's death, because his mother lived in a small, messy building with poor living conditions, which attracted mosquitoes. If Qin Huai could let his parents move into District 2, his father would not have died, and his mother would not have died either.

The distortion of the love that he had been obsessed with for so many years made Jiang Xuan lose his mind.

He couldn't deal with Mu Nan, who stayed at home all the time and never went out, but he had the conditions to deal with Qin Huai. They were in the same office, so it was too easy to deal with him. For this purpose, he specially collected a bottle of contaminated water. He kept the small insects in the water for several days. When the number of insects increased, Jiang Xuan knew that there must be insect eggs in it, so he picked out the living insects and found the right opportunity to pour the bottle of water into Qin Huai's thermos cup.

Little did he know that the water first entered Qin Huai's cup and then was transferred to Jiang Xuan's kettle by Qin Huai. If Qin Huai hadn't given him the opportunity, how could Jiang Xuan have added something to his water so smoothly.

After that, Jiang Xuan waited every day, waiting for Qin Huai to have problems one day, but Qin Huai went to get off work and came home normally every day, ate good meals every day, had a rosy complexion, and did not look uncomfortable at all. For this reason, Jiang Xuan even collected water again, wanting to give Qin Huai another try.

But he hadn't taken any action yet. One day at work, he suddenly had a stomachache so severe that he couldn't straighten his back.

This symptom is too common these days. Although people knew that it would not be transmitted through normal physical contact, the people sitting next to Jiang Xuan immediately dispersed and did not dare to contact him at all.

Jiang Xuan panicked. Parasitic infections are not without medicine. Ordinary anthelmintics can be used. But the problem is that there is no medicine at all. In the chaos, he saw Qin Huai's indifferent gaze. When his eyes met his, he even smiled at him slowly. At this moment, he still had something he didn't understand. He wanted to rush over to question him, but his stomach hurt and he was dizzy with panic. He didn't have the strength to rush over.

The day after Jiang Xuan was diagnosed with the infection, Qin Huai submitted his resignation. Now more and more people are infected. The mosquitoes outside are fine during the day, but at night they will swarm wherever there is light. The key is that with the rise in temperature, people have begun a new round of staying out at night and hiding during the day. So the superiors can be understanding. I just said that if I want to come back in the future, I can come back at any time. After all, it is difficult to find such a worry-free and capable employee.

Before leaving, Qin Huai gave a few bottles of kimchi to everyone to share. They had been enjoying each other for a few months, so it was better to part ways in peace. Besides, some connections ended at a good point, in case they needed them someday in the future. It was just some kimchi, but the kimchi in his Nan Nan's space was like the mosquitoes now, infesting the place.

Qin Huai resigned, so Song Jia was left alone. Finally, he discussed with Wu Zheng and decided to resign as well. Wu Zheng's work went smoothly. For safety reasons, Wu Zheng brought his own food and drinks every day. The weather was hot and food would spoil easily, so conditions were limited and he could only bring some long-lasting biscuits and steamed buns every day.

Song Jia also started to grow plants in the house, but he didn't grow vegetables, but grass. He decided to grow alfalfa, which is easy to grow, and sell the harvest to Mu Nan. Mu Nan could buy it to feed his rabbits, and when the rabbits were fattened, he could sell them for money. In this way, an industrial chain was happily formed.
