Chapter 93 Zhang Shu and Jiang Shang's Autobiography
Jiang Miao couldn't answer Jiang Rong's question.
Her brother and Xie Lei were found at 'Han Bing's place. They were already like this when they were found, and they are still in a coma until now.
As for the three people in the collection team, they were originally in the same team and had a good relationship with each other. Later, they pulled someone else to form a temporary team to go out and collect supplies together, but most of the time these three people did not act together with that temporary member.
Of the three people who were infected, two have died so far, and the only one left suddenly fell into a coma and began to fester all over.
So at the moment, no one knows what they encountered or what happened.
"We don't really know either. We can only know what happened exactly after they wake up." Jiang Miao answered truthfully.
"However, recently there seem to be quite a few people out there who are like my brother and the others. I don't know what they were infected with, but they all fell into a coma and their bodies were festering. This thing can last longer for a mutant, but for ordinary people... the speed from falling into a coma to death is very fast."
"How fast?" Jiang Rong frowned.
"I heard that it's less than a day." Jiang Miao frowned and looked worried.
She didn't dare to think about what would happen if her parents accidentally got infected with this stuff...
*
Five days later.
Jiang Rong completed the final six-hour purification.
The three people in the infirmary have basically recovered.
However, before that, Jiang Shang and the other two had not woken up. It was not until Jiang Rong completely purified the source of pollution in their bodies that they slowly woke up as if they were turned on.
Jiang Rong had informed the three patients' families the day before. Today was the last day of treatment, so the infirmary was still crowded today.
Jiang Shang woke up first.
The moment they saw Jiang Shang wake up, his family rushed over crying with joy, laughing and crying, which made him a little confused.
Zhang Shu, the young man with a gentle appearance, woke up later.
Finally, it’s Xie Lei.
Xie Lei's family members came the least, there was only one middle-aged woman, his mother, and two of his friends, Wu Hui, an ice-type psychic, and Qing Lan, a speed-type psychic.
Jiang Rong followed Xin Jue Cai'er and stepped back and waited silently for a while. She mainly wanted to ask them how they became like this.
Xin Jue went out this time to do some things alone. He didn't spend much time in the team and didn't know much about Jiang Shang and the others, but it seems that he is also very interested in this matter.
Cai'er herself had studied medicine before, and when she saw these people like this, the medical thoughts in her mind started ringing, and she was very curious about what on earth they had encountered.
Although she had learned some seemingly plausible things from Rongrong's popular science, they were still too abstract and she needed to know something more specific.
"Brother, why did you become like this?"
Jiang Miao knew that Jiang Rong and the others stayed here for the answer to this question, as did the two families whose children had died. So when she saw that her parents were calmer, she took the initiative to ask.
"Yeah, son, what on earth happened to you guys out there?"
"Zhang Shu, my daughter went out with you, how did she get infected with that stuff?"
…
After Jiang Miao took the lead, the others began to react and started asking hurriedly.
After hearing this, Jiang Shang and Xie Lei's faces turned pale again for a moment, as if they had thought of something horrifying.
Zhang Shu's face was full of regret.
Finally, it was Zhang Shu who spoke first: "We went to the IoT supermarket."
After hearing this, Zhao Caier and Xin Jue understood instantly.
Zhao Caier looked straight at Zhang Shu: "We have reminded everyone in the team not to go there."
Before she and Xin Jue went out, Rong Rong had reminded them not to go to that place and also reminded them to be careful of a group of strange-looking people.
So before the convoy entered the county town, she and Xin Jue reminded everyone going out this time to stay away from that supermarket.
I didn't expect that some people still wouldn't listen.
Zhang Shu also looked regretful at this moment.
Their village is located in a remote area, and it has been several months since the end of the world. They said they were going to the county town to look for supplies, but there were so many people in the county town, and they had already collected most of what they needed to collect. Could they just leave it there for them to plunder?
This time they were gone for such a long time, but they only brought back about ten trucks of stuff, and □□ of them were not trucks. The only one that was actually loaded with supplies was the blue truck.
From the outside, the Internet of Things supermarket was intact all around and the door didn't look damaged at all. Through the glass doors and windows inside, one could see that the items on the shelves were neatly arranged, not to mention that there might be more supplies in the warehouse.
These supplies were clearly there, and even if they didn't take them, someone would definitely take them later. Rather than giving them to others and then having to work hard to find them somewhere else, it would be better for them to take them all.
Furthermore, Zhao Caier and the others only said that we couldn’t go there, but they didn’t explain why we couldn’t go there…
Anyway, this time, their team found the least supplies and had the smallest gains, and the other teammate was an honest guy and was not the same kind of person as the three of them.
After that, the three of them discussed it together and decided to do it without telling that teammate.
The several teams that went out from the village this time usually acted separately and only needed to gather together at night, so no one paid attention to their movements during the day.
"We went to the IoT supermarket, and then what?" Jiang Rong asked at the right time.
"Then, the three of us moved a truckload of supplies out, and when we returned to the temporary camp, I suddenly fainted."
"When you wake up again, it will be now."
"Chen Qian...where are they?"
Zhang Shu had just woken up, and his memory was still stuck at the time when he fainted in the county town. He didn't know that Chen Qian and another teammate he mentioned were gone.
When he asked this, everyone present fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
The people from the other two families all looked unhappy after hearing what Zhang Shu said. Now they knew the cause of their children's death. It was all because they did not listen to advice. They couldn't find anyone to blame even if they wanted to.
Blame Zhang Shu?
The three of them clearly went there together, and he himself was infected with the virus, but his condition developed slowly and he was lucky enough to be rescued.
Blame him? Then should we let him die too?
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your own children for not listening to advice. Their luck is worse than others!
When Zhang Shu saw that no one responded, he came up with a guess and his face turned paler.
"Didn't you see any other people in the supermarket?"
Jiang Rong remembered that Qiu Qing had said before that the crystal of polluted energy was controlled by someone and entered his body.
But now, according to Zhang Shu, that group of people does not seem to be among them.
Is it that human control is no longer necessary?
"No, there's no one in the supermarket."
"Is there anything unusual? Or anything special?"
"An abnormal situation, an abnormal situation... The supermarket is surrounded by transparent glass, the supplies inside are neatly arranged, and there are no signs of damage around it. It seems a little too normal."
Now it seems that this is the most abnormal thing.
When Zhang Shu thought of this, he suddenly felt that he was too careless at the time and ignored such an obvious abnormality.
Jiang Rong continued to ask: "Anything else?"
Zhang Shu frowned and continued to recall: "As soon as we entered that supermarket, we felt uncomfortable."
"Where do you feel uncomfortable? What kind of discomfort is that?"
"I, Chen Qian, and the others all looked very excited and anxious, even a little manic... In short, it was very different from usual."
As Zhang Shu was speaking, he suddenly shuddered all over and got goose bumps for no apparent reason. He felt as if the wind had been blowing cold all week long. The more he spoke, the more he felt that the situation was quite strange.
It was as if something in that supermarket attracted them to go in. After entering, they became crazy as if they had suddenly won eight million. Sometimes they laughed and sometimes they were furious. The three of them had bloodshot eyes and were frantically stuffing supplies into the supermarket, while at the same time scolding everyone in the collection team one by one.
When he finally left, he still wasn't satisfied, so he kicked, stomped, and broke all the other things on the shelves that he couldn't take away.
But... they are not like this at all.
Although he is not as honest as another teammate in the team, he is definitely not a psychopath.
After listening to this, Jiang Rong felt something was not right in his heart. Thinking about what Jiang Miao and the others had said this time, that more and more people outside had mutated, he felt his head pounding.
This was a situation she had never encountered in her previous life. She didn't know how it would develop, and she didn't know what the purpose of those people doing this was? Wasn't their target Qin Sang?
"Jiang Shang, Xie Lei, what about you?"
Jiang Rong turned and looked at the other two victims present.
Jiang Shang saw that everyone was looking at him and Xie Lei. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "After we separated from you, we fled all the way. We didn't know the exact location, so we just found a high-rise residential area and hid in it. Then it suddenly got dark outside. It was dark for about a month, and the two of us swept all the way from the 1st floor to the 38th floor, collecting supplies from those houses that were uninhabited or had been breached by mutant beasts. We endured it like this until dawn. But because of long-term hunger, Xie Lei and I were very weak, so we didn't dare to go out directly, so we hid in the residential area for a few more days. Until a group of people came to the community."
Jiang Shang paused here, then continued: "That group of people looked very strange. When they passed by the house, I took a look through the cat's eye. They noticed my spying at that time, but they seemed to be indifferent and walked away. After about an hour, they came down from upstairs again. When they passed by the house where we were hiding, they smiled at me and Xie Lei inside... smiled. Within an hour after they left, the people who originally lived in that community rushed out of the house one after another, and the whole building was filled with screams. Xie Lei and I didn't dare to go out, and at that time we both felt that there seemed to be something wrong with our bodies, but it might be because we were psychics, so the reaction was not as fast as those ordinary people. We waited quietly in the house, and waited until the noise outside died down, and then we dared to open the door and go out."
