As the camera zoomed in, Qiao Xuejun could see much more clearly.
This person is... Qiao Xuejun felt strange at first, but after taking a few glances, she recognized him. This is the old man with a basket on his back who came to her yard to look for potatoes before! Why is he wandering around outside without clothes? And this is very abnormal. His pupils are very large and his eyeballs are bulging, like big bull eyes.
In the cold night, it looked very strange.
It was completely different from the way he looked when he came to her room looking for potatoes half a month ago. He looked quite normal at that time.
The more Qiao Xuejun looked, the more she felt something was wrong. The old man walked the whole way without blinking, his feet looked stiff, and his mouth kept moving as if he was chewing something. He didn't look like a normal person.
Qiao Xuejun: "System, didn't you unlock the information about mad cow disease? What's the situation now? Do you have anything to deal with it?"
System: “…Not yet.”
Qiao Xuejun immediately rolled down from the bed and took the slingshot from the bedside. This thing looked weird no matter how you looked at it.
She walked to the entrance of the shelter, her eyes still fixed on the man on the surveillance screen.
Is this the legendary mutant creature, mad cow disease... It is transmitted through blood, so if you get bit by it, will you also develop mad cow disease?
Watching the man getting closer and closer to her yard, Qiao Xuejun became nervous. What if this man walked directly into the house, what if he discovered the underground shelter... Qiao Xuejun clenched the slingshot.
System: "No, host, the book clearly states that mutant creatures all came from the ocean and later infected land creatures. Now the marine creatures have not yet come out."
Not the best.
But Qiao Xuejun was still worried. This courtyard was still too fragile. Anyone, whether human or ghost, could break in at will. He still had to do some basic defense.
Huh?
Qiao Xuejun was a little surprised that this person actually went to another house, which was a hundred meters away from Qiao Xuejun.
The system also breathed a sigh of relief, but the surveillance footage was still playing.
He walked straight towards the house. The door of the house was made of iron bars, just like Qiao Xuejun's, but it was tightly locked.
But the man seemed not to see the lock and went straight up, slamming his body against the iron door with a clanging sound.
He was blocked by the iron gate and could not move forward, so he stopped, but took two steps back and then continued to rush forward, repeatedly bumping into the iron gate, making a harsh metal collision sound.
Such noise soon awakened the owner of the house.
"Who is it?" A young man came out cursing, "Who is knocking at the door? It's late at night, you are looking for death!"
Qiao Xuejun recognized the voice. It was the young man from the Zhang family that Old Lady Qiao had called her about before. Qiao Yaozu called him Brother Zhang. At that time, they said on the phone that the Zhang family and the Qiao family were neighbors, and it turned out that his family had really moved in.
Brother Zhang looked to be about 20 or 30 years old. He came out wearing a sloppy short pajamas and slippers.
Seeing that there was indeed a person outside the big iron gate who kept banging on the door in the backlight, Zhang couldn't see clearly and squinted his eyes: "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?"
Relying on his tall and strong stature, he came closer to take a look.
A woman's voice came from behind Brother Zhang: "Son, who is it?"
Brother Zhang turned around and said, "Mom, why did you come out? I was just asking, but I don't know who..."
Just as he was about to turn around, the iron gate was suddenly pushed open, and the old man outside pounced on Brother Zhang and bit his face with his mouth open.
"Son!" the woman shouted in panic.
"Ahhhh!" Brother Zhang was thrown to the ground and bitten again, and he let out a terrible howl in an instant.
The woman rushed to her son, grabbed a stick and tried to save him, shouting, "Help, help, someone is killing me!"
The surveillance footage was suddenly in chaos, but Qiao Xuejun could see that the man with mad cow disease threw Brother Zhang to the ground and bit his face hard. Blood flowed down the place where he bit, bright red and glaring.
·
The crazy man was quickly subdued by the Zhang family. Among the three of them, only the woman was not injured. Zhang's father and Zhang's brother, who arrived later, both suffered bite wounds of varying degrees.
After calling the police, they arrived quickly and took the crazy man away. The Zhang family went to the hospital.
The Zhang family returned early the next day, but before they entered the house, the police came and asked them to go to the police station for investigation, but the woman did not have to go, and only took Zhang and his son away.
He said that after the investigation was thorough, the Zhang father and son would be sent back.
However, Qiao Xuejun didn't understand. If the woman was present at the time and was cooperating with the investigation, why didn't they take her away, and only took away the Zhang family father and son who were bitten? Was it because of... the bite?
Qiao Xuejun observed carefully and found that the Zhang family father and son did not come back that whole day. They did not come back the next day either.
Moreover, Qiao Xuejun didn't sleep much at night. When she got up at night, she always felt that she could hear some strange howling sounds, and the system could also detect that there were still people wandering around at night.
Was it just that man who was infected with mad cow disease? No, it was definitely not just mad cow disease.
Mad cow disease is caused by prions, which are caused by cannibalism. The mad man bit everyone he saw, which was also a form of cannibalism. But it was a mutated form of mad cow disease, a zombie.
After witnessing the so-called "mad cow disease" injuring people, Qiao Xuejun had this idea in mind.
At the same time, information on the Internet also exploded, and various rumors about mutated mad cow disease emerged one after another. More than one person proposed that it was not mad cow disease, but a zombie virus.
Finally, the official media finally issued a notice, confirming the outbreak of mutant mad cow disease and that the mutant mad cow disease "eats people". Finally, the residents were reminded to be careful and to know the source of the food they eat. If the source is not clear, do not eat it. The virus is currently in meat, and it is not certain whether the virus can be transmitted through blood.
In addition, the CDC found that patients with mutated mad cow disease were sensitive to the smell of mugwort, and recommended that residents hang mugwort at their doorsteps to drive away patients with mutated mad cow disease.
Mugwort?
Qiao Xuejun closed her eyes. She had stocked up on a lot of things when she went to the Chinese medicine store, including Isatis root, Phellodendron chinense and the like, but she didn't stock up on mugwort.
However, it is already April, when the mugwort grows luxuriantly on the mountain. However, it is likely to wither due to the high temperature for so many days.
But it doesn’t matter, the withered mugwort also has a strong smell.
