Chapter 57

Because there are still a lot of things to do in the community, it is Mr. Gu who leads the team today.

When he saw this group of people, he immediately went over to them and asked, "What's going on? What's going on in the town?"

"Uncle Gu, there is no work in town."

When they saw him, the young people all gathered around him as if they had seen a relative.

As several people spoke, their eyes began to turn red, and they looked as if they had suffered great injustice.

Even though I was mentally prepared before coming here, I still felt a little nervous when I really met Mr. Gu.

"Don't feel bad first. Tell me clearly why you have no work?" He patted the young man closest to him and comforted him.

"Yeah." The man nodded, then rubbed his face with his hands, wiping away the sweat on his forehead and making himself more sober.

"Uncle Gu, the town has also started to conduct physical examinations for all residents since this morning. The town hospital has set up the emergency shed and asked the residents to go to the nearest shed according to the gathering point to have their blood drawn.

This inspection is mandatory, just like in our community. No one can refuse to go.

The government said that after three days, everyone must have a health certificate to enter and leave. Without a health certificate, not only will you not be able to find a job, you won’t even be able to enter the town.

It seems that it is not just in the town, but people have left the surrounding gathering points, and we are investigating the entire area here."

Why is there such a big fuss?

Shen Cong was also shocked when he heard this.

If this trend continues, then the patients are definitely not just in their community, they must have been found in other places as well.

Where does this disease come from?

Before she could come up with a plan, the people around her became anxious.

"But we have a health certificate?!" A person following behind Mr. Gu was busy talking.

"What's the use of us? Now everyone in the town hates us and thinks that the disease was spread because of our community.

Many places had already stopped work today due to inspections.

Those who are willing to hire people, as soon as they hear that they are from our community, they just say no without asking any questions! ”

A young man who came back with him directly retorted what the man said.

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and his voice became so loud and angry that it was filled with anger.

"Today a construction site wanted to hire a cook who could make pancakes and big pot meals. Even though Xiao Yuan had a chef certificate, they didn't want him. They would rather choose a big sister from another gathering place.

The elder sister herself said that she only knows how to cook home-cooked meals and has never made a big pot meal.

They would rather have her than Xiao Yuan. The only thing they asked was, they don’t want people from your community!”

This made everyone explode.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they were so angry that they had to go and talk to those people! Some people even rolled up their sleeves, as if they were going to fight if they couldn't convince them.

"Alright, we haven't figured out what the situation is yet, so calm down!" Old Master Gu scolded those people who were jumping up and down.

After that, he turned to look at the dozen full-time workers who had been wronged, and said to them: "You go back first and tell Xiao Cao about this. Just tell him what I said, and let him know so that he can have an idea in his mind. Don't panic, and don't make any decisions. Everything will wait until we go to the town to check and find out the situation clearly."

"When you go back this time, the people in the closed area should have already collected the second batch of waste. If there is nothing else, you can also bring some over.

Whether there is work outside or not, we have to make a living. Guarding that high-rise place, it's okay, we won't starve to death!" Chen Cong said from the side.

Her words were more effective than the old man's, and they immediately calmed people's hearts.

Why are people so angry? The main reason is that they are worried that they will not be able to survive without food.

But thinking along the lines of Chen Cong's words, everyone suddenly understood.

They are not afraid, they are guarding the top positions!

The ruins were not too big, with only twelve buildings. They could be dismantled and unloaded, and it should be no problem for the entire community to survive for another half a month.

As long as the scrap collection station in the town is open, they will never have to worry about having no food to eat!

Thinking of this, everyone seemed to have seen new hope and they were no longer upset.

The dozen or so people agreed and immediately headed back towards the community, their steps quickening a lot.

Although no one reminded everyone, everyone knew that it was time for dinner.

The more deliveries you make, the more pancakes you get.

If this infectious disease spreads, I think there will be less and less work in the town, and there will be more and more gathering points for picking up garbage.

At this time, whoever acts early and sells more may have a greater chance of survival than others.

Those who were fully capable of working went back, and those who stayed behind seemed to fall silent all of a sudden.

No one said much or chatted anymore. They just kept their heads down and pulled their things forward.

Everyone held their breath, trying to speed up and gain more time.

As people approached the aisle, they immediately felt the difference in the atmosphere.

A barrier was set up on the passage near the town.

Everyone passing by the community was advised to leave.

Medical staff were standing by the isolation zone, telling everyone over and over again to go back to the gathering point and wait for the medical examination.

You must get a health certificate before you can enter the town. You will not be allowed in without a certificate.

There were people from the town on both sides of the passage maintaining order.

In fact, it can't be considered maintenance. After all, the physical examination officially started this morning. At this moment, except for Chen Cong's community, no one else has a health certificate.

The so-called maintenance of order means repeated persuasion and forced obstruction to drive those who come to look for work back to the outside of the passage.

When people in the community walked to the passage, they all took out their health certificates consciously.

Seeing them, the people who had surrounded the passage subconsciously stepped back, leaving a small path for them.

But the looks those people gave them contained anger, vigilance, and more importantly, fear and tension.

It was like watching The Plague.

No one would feel good being surrounded by such gazes.

People in the community suddenly understood the feelings of the neighbors who were suspected of being in the crowd and were banned yesterday.

I felt so wronged that I wanted to defend myself and explain myself, but I didn't even know how to say it or who to talk to.

When I couldn't bear it anymore, I even wanted to fight or yell at someone, but I couldn't find anyone to help me.

Old Master Gu was leading the team in front. He ignored the gazes of those people and led everyone forward carrying the things.

Those medical staff naturally recognized the health certificates issued by their own hospitals, and after confirming them, they immediately let the patients go.

This group of dozens of people entered the town in full view of everyone.

After entering, they found that there were really not many people waiting for work in the square, at least more than half less than usual.

There are indeed fewer people coming to recruit workers, and maybe there are also fewer people entering the town!

Those sitting inside at this time were the laborers of the town who had not yet had their turn to be inspected at the gathering point.

Logically, it should be easier to find work at this time than at other times, but when they saw them come in, not only the people waiting for work, but even those who were recruiting workers subconsciously backed away, with resistance written all over their bodies.

It's like they all have the virus.

Chen Cong really felt that he had a good temper now and took many things lightly.

But seeing the looks on these people's faces still made my heart pound with anger, and the anger went straight to my temples, causing half of my head to ache.

"Dad, let's go to the town hospital and look for Vice President Zhang. What are they doing? How are they promoting this? Are they trying to exclude certain regions? Even if there are patients in our community, not all of them are patients! Are we flood beasts?!"

Chen Cong walked up to his father-in-law and whispered.

Although she kept her voice low, she also tried not to show her emotions so as not to let other neighbors see her dissatisfaction.

But his whole body was filled with the aura of - don't mess with me, I want to hit you.

Gu Kai could tell at a glance that his wife was really angry.

He quickly stepped forward, blocking the view of Chen Cong and other people in the community, so that her emotions would not be seen by others.

Seeing his actions, Chen Cong finally came to his senses and realized that for the group of people who followed him out today, his father-in-law and his family were almost the backbone and support for everyone.

If they bring out their personal emotions, others will definitely be even more angry.

If a quarrel breaks out, we will be the ones who suffer.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down for a long time, then pulled her husband's hand to signal that she had recovered.

Then she stopped talking and looked back at her father-in-law.

"You can go, but it won't be of much use." Mr. Gu remained calm.

He looked towards the town, his eyes filled with worry: "With such a big fuss... I think this is no longer something the town hospital can control."

Having said that, the old man decided to go with Shen Cong to find someone to inquire about the situation.

Leaving the team to Gu Kai and Chen Xi, the two of them left the crowd.

Chen Cong and Mr. Gu went to the town hospital first, but they did not find Vice President Zhang there.

The town hospital was more crowded than ever before. Even at the beginning of the earthquake, there had never been so many people here.

The hospital's outpatient building has not been repaired since it collapsed in the earthquake, and later medical treatment was moved to temporary mobile houses on one side.

Opposite the main entrance is a small square and a half-collapsed building.

It had been vacant before.

But now there are more than a dozen awnings set up in the square, and doctors in isolation suits are sitting in the awnings, doing blood tests on people in the queue.

There were queues of dozens of meters outside each awning.

The two looked around but couldn't find the person, so they asked a nurse who was passing by, but the nurse didn't know anything about anything.

It is said that physical examinations are being conducted on residents everywhere now, and all the doctors who can be dispatched in the hospitals have been dispatched.

The leaders were no exception and were all assigned to various medical centers.

Now the two of them didn't know where to find anyone.

"Let's go to the town government and ask." The old man looked around and ran away.

Chen Cong hurried to catch up.

The town government also collapsed in the last earthquake, and the collapse was particularly severe. There was not a single intact building left in the entire government building.

The last time Chen Cong and his team went there, the leaders were working in a makeshift tent.

This time they walked to the same place as before, and from a distance they saw a row of temporary mobile houses similar to those of a hospital, with the entrance crowded with people.

Not far from the mobile homes, there was also a row of awnings, which were also filled with people queuing up.

In fact, it's not just here, or you can say, no matter where you go in the town now, the most eye-catching things are the red awnings and the people queuing.

"Is it already so serious?" Chen Cong was horrified.

When she was in the community, she really didn't expect that the situation would develop to this point.

Mr. Gu is a man of experience and has participated in many epidemic prevention and control work in the past.

He appeared much calmer than Chen Cong.

But his expression was also very serious.

"It's not necessarily serious. The town is probably in a hurry and wants to check all personnel as soon as possible so that it will be easier to formulate the next work plan."

Seeing his daughter-in-law showing a rare fear, he comforted her, "It's okay. This disease is contagious only to a limited extent. As long as we react quickly and contain the transmission channels, it won't spread widely. Don't worry."

Chen Cong nodded, but he didn't feel reassured.

Looking at the situation in the town, it seems that the channels of transmission have been curbed?

As the two talked, they walked to the government officials' office.

They still gained something here. Although they still didn't find Vice President Zhang, the two of them met the leader of the government working group that had previously entered the community.

And the other party saw them first.

"Mr. Gu, Xiao Shen, why are you here? Is there something happening in the community?" The team leader trotted over as soon as he saw them.

"Team Leader Chen, it's such a coincidence to meet you. We do have something to discuss with you." Seeing him, the old man hurried over to greet him.

Then he asked, "Where has the patient been found? Why is there such a big fuss?"

Team leader Chen sighed, looked around, then pointed to a corner where there were few people nearby, motioning the two to follow him.

When they were alone, Team Leader Chen said, "Mr. Gu, you are also an experienced doctor, I will not hide this from you. The patient was not found in our town, but in higher-ups."

He pointed in the direction of the city.

"It is said that the virus has spread in Bac Ninh, and the number of confirmed patients has exceeded 1,000. New cases have also been discovered in surrounding counties and cities..."

He lowered his voice and said, "The higher-ups are having a hard time containing the situation. They say that entire villages in Ningbei have been destroyed, and many places have been sealed off."

"Is it so serious?" Mr. Gu was also surprised.

"Of course." Team Leader Chen sighed again.

He waved his hand at the two of them and said, "I know what you want to talk to me about. You want to talk about those guys who couldn't find jobs this morning, right?

Old man, Xiao Shen, I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this matter. "

Team leader Chen spread his hands and tried to explain with a tired look on his face: "It's not that I don't want to help the community, it's mainly because of the current situation...

Before everything is completely certain, panic and rejection are uncontrollable, and no matter how hard we try, it will take time.

But you don't have to worry too much, this situation won't last long. I'll be honest, once we find more patients, no one will want to target you anymore."

Having said this, he seemed to realize that this was not something he should say.

He quickly tried to make up for it: "Mr. Gu, Xiao Shen, don't listen to my nonsense. I was also anxious. I felt that we were familiar with each other and I had to explain it to you, and then I started talking nonsense.

Oh, don't take it personally, it's my fault. You don't know, this whole morning was like a dream, my mind is in a mess."

He shook his head as he spoke, as if he had a lot of complaints and didn't know who to vent to.

Chen Cong had already understood the general situation.

Also realized the seriousness of the matter.

She had no intention of listening to an outsider complaining at the moment.

So he asked directly: "Team Leader Chen, I just want to ask, will the scrap yard in our town be closed?"

"No." Team Leader Chen answered very straightforwardly this time.

"Not only will we not close down, we will also expand the scope of acquisition. Xiao Shen, you can go back and tell the residents of the community what I said. This is not what I said, but the official response from the government. A notice will be posted at the entrance of each gathering point tomorrow.

The jobs in the town will still be open to residents from all over the area in the future. As long as you have a health certificate, you can still come here and wait for work. This can be absolutely guaranteed.

Another is the waste collection station. This is not just the livelihood of your community. Many gathering places now rely on collecting waste for a living. The government knows this and supports it.

The earthquake damaged a lot of our infrastructure, and many factories are no longer able to operate. The recycled iron sheets and building materials are very useful for our construction and production.

The government will continue to recycle, and everyone can continue to collect, this can be promised."

Team leader Chen patted his chest to make a promise, but the more Chen Cong listened, the heavier his heart felt.

It was his words: "Now many gathering places are relying on waste for their livelihood."

The more we collect waste, the less it is. It is not a sustainable resource, so how can we use it as food forever?

If everyone regards this as the only way to survive, then the road will become narrower and narrower, and there will be no way out.

She did not hide her thoughts and told Team Leader Chen bluntly.

Then he said, "Leader, please tell us the truth, is our town already overloaded with patients?

You don't have to hide it from me. Our town is so small that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the number of available workstations will only become more and more limited, right?"

Previously, more people were needed because the ruins needed to be cleared, but after so long, most of the work that can be done manually has been done.

The rest is definitely not something that can be done by physical strength alone.

If this is the case, how many workstations and food rations can the town provide?

Team leader Chen was silent for a moment, then gave Chen Cong an appreciative look.

"Xiao Shen is a wise man! No wonder I see Lao Cao is convinced by you. I can't give you an answer to what you said, I can only say that everyone is working hard.

The town government will do its best to help everyone through this difficult time, but... we also encourage everyone to help themselves."

really……

My heavy heart became even heavier.

As a leader, one must use some encouraging and positive words to appease the people.

But in reality, the situation must be much worse than what they see now.

Otherwise, Team Leader Chen, who had only known them for a few hours, would not have dragged them into talking about so much.

To put it bluntly, aren't you just afraid that they will be under too much pressure and start to make a fuss?

The community was the first place in the surrounding area where the infectious disease was discovered, and it is also the place where everyone is paying most attention.

The behavior of the people in the community will definitely attract attention.

Whatever they say or do is out of line, it will be magnified infinitely and spread around at the fastest speed.

So Team Leader Chen has to comfort them and encourage them.

But, how does this work in real life?

It's useless.

These promises are all empty words and can’t even buy a steamed bun.

It can also make people let down their guard.

Mr. Gu obviously realized this as well, and the expressions of both of them became extremely solemn.

The two looked at the person opposite them and asked, "Team Leader Chen, please explain clearly how we can save ourselves? Can you at least give us some hints, or what measures has the government already taken?"

The author has something to say:

I'll try to add another chapter tomorrow.

It’s my routine to push the pre-collection when the list changes. Friends who haven’t collected it yet, please help Yousu click it, thank you!

Next book: "Reborn to the day when the natural disaster struck"

"Mom, wake up, we have to find my dad quickly."

This was the first sentence Ke Bei heard when she opened her eyes.

Then I felt my legs lighten as the heavy stone on them was lifted up and thrown aside by the boy in front of me who was less than six years old.

The severe pain came and she suddenly woke up, realizing that she was reborn, back to the moment before the natural disaster.

Returning with her was her son Cheng Tian, ​​who was born after the end of the world.

"Can you get up? Hurry up, the bridge is going to collapse!"

Without waiting for her to respond, her son grabbed her up, threw her on his shoulders and ran away.

Lying on the baby's back, Ke Bei closed her eyes silently, and understood——

The cub's superpowers returned with him.

--

After Cheng Gan retired from the army, he opened a car repair shop and had good business. In addition, one person's food fed the whole family, so he lived a happy life.

Until one day a bridge in the city collapsed, and a woman with a child found him and said to him -

"I am your wife and he is your son. Come with us now. We will die together as a family!"

Cheng Gan: “…”

I've never been in a relationship, so where do my wife and son come from?!

Copywriter 2: "Save the villain cubs in the infinite disaster"

Ten years after the end of the world, the couple Shao Qi and Le Xuan died surrounded by wolves.

When they woke up again, they found that they were bound together to a system called "Rescue Villain Cubs in Another World".

The system requires them to travel through various alien worlds, save those cubs who have either turned evil or died due to natural disasters, suffering, human frame-up, etc., and become their parents.

If the mission fails, they will return to the moment before their death when they were surrounded by wolves and experience the pain of being bitten by wolves again;

When the mission is finally completed, they will be able to choose a world they like to stay in and fulfill Shao Qi's last wish before his death.

Le Xuan turned around and asked: "What wish did you make before you died?"

Shao Qi: “…I forgot.”

In order to fulfill this forgotten wish, the two began to travel through various small worlds, saving cubs and trying their best to be good parents.

Apocalypse 1: In a world of biological alienation, rescue the genius boy who was forgotten in the laboratory by a scientific research boss;

Apocalypse II: Plants mutate, poison grows everywhere, and the search for the blind daughter begins;

Apocalypse III: natural disasters, extreme cold, and surviving with twin daughters;

End of the world 4: spiritual energy, supernatural powers, relying on the genius son to lie down;

…

Several years later, Shao Qi and Le Xuan felt relieved when they saw that the sixth child they raised had secured the position of the leader of the base at a young age.

The two of them waved their sleeves, left quietly without a trace of cloud, and returned to the original world.

Standing at the door of their former home, the two smiled at each other.

I didn't expect that the moment I pushed the door open, I would be met with six pairs of resentful eyes at the same time.

"Dad! Mom!"

Looking at the noisy kids in the room, Le Xuan rubbed his brows and tilted his head: "Isn't your wish to go home and live well together?"

Shao Qi: “…”

There is another sentence at the end - and our children.
