Chapter 521 A Blessing in Disguise

Moreover, the institute had several previous experiences and quickly identified the culprit of this disaster, which was the sunlight.

However, to everyone's surprise, the problem was not with the sunlight itself, but with their planet.

The thinning of the atmosphere, the hole in the ozone layer, the concentration of ultraviolet rays, and of course, something inexplicable. Everything sounds so incredible, but also reasonable.

To be honest, it was all caused by not caring about the environment in the past, but what can we do now? We can only bear the consequences silently.

However, with the reminder from the institute, we don’t need to confine ourselves to high-rise buildings. Since sunlight is the “murderer”, then avoiding it will help us return to our normal lives, right?

There are many people who think this way, but reality tells them that they are dreaming!

Because, as long as the impetigo is not resolved, each of them may become a source of infection, so it is better to be safe and not think about resuming social interaction as soon as possible.

But this world does not completely exclude them.

Although the notice asked patients with pustular disease to self-isolate, since most of them were sick and the infectiousness was still undetermined, most of the people who went out every day were sick. On the contrary, those who had not been exposed to the sun were self-isolating at home.

They thought that since they were sick, whether it was a mild or severe illness, they were all sick, so there was no need to put healthy people at risk. This became an established rule.

Bi Qiaoan was in confinement after childbirth, so she was not too opposed to not being able to go out. After hearing the news, Shen Yanming couldn't wait to go out and find out the news.

So after dinner, Shen Yanming waited until the sun went down, said hello to his wife and went out.

He walked on the familiar playground of the guard team, looking at the growing crowd, and couldn't help but smile. However, after seeing the pustules on everyone's faces, he couldn't smile anymore.

In comparison, his face is really good.

At least a few pustules the size of fingernails could not hide his handsome facial features, and anyone who saw him would be able to recognize him.

For those with severe pustules on their faces, even Shen Yanming would be frightened when he saw them.

Everyone sat together and talked about their lives over the past two days. Shen Yanming listened for a while and then left.

He hadn't seen Zhu Shiliang and Yu Shui for two days, and he wanted to go see how they were doing.

After making a phone call and setting a time and place, Shen Yanming rushed over. It turned out that none of the five former colleagues were spared, and all of them had pus-filled faces.

"You guys are in a bit of a pity." Shen Yanming said with a smile.

Yu Shui punched Shen Yanming in the chest, “You’re the only one who’s handsome!”

Several people laughed, and Shen Yanming asked, "Where is Li Yinhe?"

Yu Shui's smile faded, and he curled his lips, pretending to be envious and jealous, and said, "That guy is very lucky. It happened to be his turn to work the night shift, so he didn't go out during the day and just escaped."

Shen Yanming thought about it, and couldn't remember whether he had seen him on the day of sunrise, so he asked: "He didn't have early training that day?"

Yu Shui pouted and said nothing. Zhu Shiliang glanced at him and said with a smile, "When they were playing, Yu Shui pushed Li Yinhe down and caused him to sprain his ankle. As a result, there was no morning training that day, and we even had to bring lunch back.

Just like that, I became the only one in our dormitory who was not sick. In order to avoid being infected, I have asked for leave to go home and recuperate. "

"So, his good luck is all thanks to me," Yu Shui added.

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed. Shen Yanming also felt a little emotional. Isn't this the legendary saying that a blessing in disguise may come from a loss?

In fact, it is the same with him and Qiao An.

Although Qi Lin threw the ball that day and frightened Qiao An into premature labor, it was also because of this that they avoided the rainstorm and the mutated sunlight.

If there hadn't been an accident that day, would Joan have had to go to the hospital to give birth in the next two days? In addition to facing the sun, would she have to come into contact with those infected people with pustules on their faces?

Who knows, there may be patients with impetigo among the doctors and nurses.

Therefore, Shen Yanming did not lose his temper with Qi Lin. Because from the beginning he had a hunch that Qiao An's early start might not be a bad thing.

Well, let’s not talk about this anymore. After chatting for a while, they all dispersed.

Before leaving, Shen Yanming took out a few candies from his pants pocket and gave them to everyone. Because he didn't think about getting together with them before leaving, he didn't prepare in advance, so he could only take out a few of these to sweeten everyone's mouths.

Yu Shui and Zhu Shiliang didn't mind, they took it excitedly and stuffed it into their mouths. The rich milky aroma filled their mouths, dispelling the irritability caused by the impetigo in the past few days.

After Shen Yanming left, he did not rush home. He was thinking, if humans started to get sick because of abnormal sunlight, what about animals and plants?

There is no official news released online, but that doesn’t mean that sunlight has no effect on them.

Apart from the captive animals in the farms and livestock farms in the agricultural area, there were no small animals outside, so it was impossible for him to observe them.

But there are plants outside, and the greening of the guard is quite good.

Shen Yanming walked a long circle around the guard team, occasionally standing on tiptoe to look at tree branches and leaves, or squatting to look at wild grass and flowers.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but it's really scary when you do.

Although the plants are still alive, they are obviously not as green. I don't know if it's because the colors are distorted under the light.

Shen Yanming was skeptical and found a few more grasses to observe. He found that two out of ten grasses had yellow stems and leaves, but since there was no control group, he didn't know if this was a normal phenomenon.

He returned home with a heavy heart, and kept silent when faced with Joan's questions.

In the next few days, every night Shen Yanming would go out of the space to take a walk with the guards. Bi Qiaoan wanted to follow him, but he dismissed her with the excuse that she was still in confinement after childbirth.

In fact, he just didn't want his wife to have nightmares after seeing those pus-filled faces.

Because of careful observation, Shen Yanming actually discovered that sunlight has more or less impact on animals and plants.

Some plants cannot withstand the scorching sun and have begun to turn yellow and wither.

As for the animals, I don’t know about others, but at least the little insects suffered.

Every night when the street lights are on, there are fewer mosquitoes and moths flying around the light source. No one uses mosquito repellent, and it feels like there are almost no mosquito bites.

Where did the missing mosquitoes go? They were lying by the grass.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see it. But if you look carefully, you will see that they are lying everywhere on the path next to the flower bed.

Although most of the dead are pests, they are also an important link in the food chain. If the loss is too great, the entire ecological environment will be affected.
