Chapter 104 An Yue City 2
After negotiating with the landlord, I paid one month's rent as a deposit and one month's rent in advance, which cost me 8,000 coins.
It was the first time she had spent so much money on rent, and she felt a little pained.
But then he realized that the money wasn't his own anyway, and he felt relieved.
With 72,700 coins remaining, Shi Jinwei went directly to the nearest shopping district to buy supplies.
Since there were no natural disasters, all that was needed was to buy daily necessities and food and water, so it didn't take much time to buy them.
While queuing to pay, a customer who had just finished paying coughed as he walked out.
After taking only a couple of steps, the woman collapsed to the ground, startling those around her who immediately moved away, fearing she was a con artist trying to extort money.
Some people even took out their phones and started filming.
A supermarket employee happened to be passing by and, seeing this, quickly went over to check on the situation.
Seeing the woman's face was flushed, he put his hand on her forehead without thinking and said, "Oh dear, this customer has a fever. Call 120 quickly."
The other two staff members quickly took out their phones to make a call, while the other came over to help the woman up.
The woman was unconscious, her limbs were limp, and the two men couldn't lift her at all.
Later, two more people arrived and together they lifted the woman's limbs and carried her away.
Shi Jinwei noticed with her sharp eyes that when the woman was carried away, she was breathing rapidly, her face was terribly red, and her limbs were visibly trembling.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the people around dispersed.
After bringing everything home, I realized it was only 3 p.m.
So I went out again.
The target is a drone specialty store.
The shop owner was very welcoming, and the drones he recommended were all reasonably priced.
However, Shi Jinwei had specific requirements: it should be solar-powered, have a long remote control range, and have night vision functionality.
In the real world, civilian drones are subject to distance restrictions due to strict requirements.
So before she came out, she specifically checked and found that the countries in the game did not have this requirement, so civilian drones were all kinds of things, with ridiculously many functions, and very cheap prices.
Seeing that the young girl was decisive, the shop owner pointed to a black one and said to her, "Then take this one, it's my prized possession."
Seeing the little girl's eyes light up, he walked over, picked it up, and carefully explained: "Don't let its smaller size fool you; it has a range of over 40 kilometers. It's equipped with solar panels, so it can be fully charged in twelve hours using only solar power."
"What about the remote control distance?" Shi Jinwei asked.
The owner smiled smugly: "I told you it's the store's prized possession, so the remote control range is definitely extraordinary. It's 10 kilometers by regular remote control, but if you insert a card, you can control it with your phone, and the range will be much greater."
She thought her boss was exaggerating: "What if the connection drops?"
Cell phones sometimes have poor signal, let alone such a small thing the size of a palm.
Seeing that she didn't believe him, the boss turned on the drone, inserted the wireless network card, and then took Shi Jinwei's phone to download a binding software.
Then he started operating it right in front of her.
After flying a few hundred meters, he manually disconnected the connection and gestured for her to look outside.
Then, the drone actually flew back on its own.
"It is equipped with the latest patrol function. If it loses connection and cannot detect the remote control device for five minutes, it will fly back along the original route. If it runs out of power, it will also find a sunny place to charge itself."
The boss grinned at Shi Jinwei, clearly pleased with the shocked expression on her face.
However, with such a high-quality product, the price is naturally much higher, costing 2000 coins per unit, a price that far surpasses most other models on the market.
Shi Jinwei said she wanted to buy two units and asked the shop owner to give her a discount.
The shop owner quoted 3800, and she turned and left. In the end, she bought two for 3600.
Seeing the shopkeeper's pained expression, but with an undisguised smile in his eyes, he knew he hadn't bargained enough.
As she left the store, an ambulance sped past, and she glanced at it before looking away.
Aside from the fact that there are more people wearing masks outside, you can't tell anything else.
Having prepared everything, and not planning to go out any further, I went home and immediately started searching for news online.
This time, the news is about a major outbreak of a new type of influenza, and that we need to get vaccinated, but no specific timeframe was given.
Normally, a vaccine can only be developed after a disease has already emerged.
But there's no sign of it happening outside.
I can only search online for any special news, such as "the number of people with colds is increasing" or "a new type of flu has been discovered".
Similar incidents have occurred in the world before.
It initially attracted public attention because of an increase in the number of people with colds in a certain area.
At that time, as an ordinary person, she could only learn about these situations through online news, and then she isolated herself in her dormitory and at home according to the school's notice.
Later, when the country developed the vaccine, the community notified everyone to go to the designated place and queue for injection, which couldn't be more convenient.
Now, when you enter the game, they just throw out a vague clue and leave you to find the rest yourself.
As expected, there were no clues found online.
Shi Jinwei said, "It's really difficult."
However, she wouldn't make things difficult for herself; if she couldn't find any information, she would just lie low for the time being.
Clues are always released after the news; today is only the first day, so there's no rush.
After calming herself down, she began preparing the groceries she had bought from the supermarket.
After taking care of all that, it was time to sleep. I washed up and went to bed, waiting for the next day to arrive.
-------------------------------------
The next day, Shi Jinwei called the landlord early in the morning and asked for the QR code for the community group chat.
Once inside, I discovered there were only a few dozen people.
No one spoke, and she remained silent, while simultaneously checking job postings for the biological research center on recruitment websites.
Unable to find a better solution, Shi Jinwei decided to stick to the old method—directly infiltrating the organization.
Unfortunately, it's not graduation season, and the research center's recruitment section is completely blank.
The Central Hospital does recruit "cleaners" and "linen workers".
But this place will definitely be a disaster zone later, and Shi Jinwei values her life, so she won't even consider it.
Just as she was thinking about what other options there might be, a new message suddenly appeared in the community group chat.
I opened it out of boredom, and it immediately sprang to life.
The video showed something similar to what happened to her at the supermarket yesterday: someone suddenly and inexplicably fainted and was helped by passersby.
The difference this time was that the location was a subway station, and the situation was handled very quickly.
The person who posted the video then sent several more videos in succession, and then exclaimed in the comments, "Why are there so many videos like this these days?"
