The number of new patients increased at an extremely frightening rate every day. At the same time, recovered patients began to appear in various places.
A post on the Internet was pushed up.
A bold guess! Are the recent widespread illnesses truly diseases? Thoughts from those who have recovered.
The post begins with a lengthy description of various symptoms and the author's changing thoughts. None of this is particularly relevant; the most important sentence appears at the end.
——I may have super powers. I just set fire to my homework book. What should I do if I can’t hand in my homework? Wait online.
1L: Telling jokes like this at a time like this? Is the author crazy because he doesn't want to hand in his homework?
…
38L: It looks quite realistic. I can fly. Look at the sky.
39L: I don't know what you're thinking, OP. Maybe you don't realize how serious it is unless it happens to you. My family has been falling ill over the past few days. But the hospital was running out of beds, so they just gave us some medicine and sent us home. As soon as my parents got home, they locked themselves in their room and refused to come out. My hands are shaking as I'm replying to them now.
There are hundreds of messages in a row, all of which are full of questions.
439L: Where's LZ? Why aren't you talking?
…
The original poster: I took a picture. This is my admission certificate. As the previous poster mentioned, I was one of the first patients to develop symptoms. I was hospitalized throughout the entire process, and it took five days for me to recover. I absolutely did not lie.
The intermediate level still contains various questioning contents.
589L: LZ, you're lucky. I'm in a terrible situation. My house suddenly flooded and all the appliances were submerged. Just to give you an ad, my phone is waterproof. It's from XX.
Soon, a flood of articles appeared, all filled with skepticism and questioning. Some asked for information, others scrutinized images for signs of manipulation, and speculated about the poster's intentions from all angles.
This post became popular as soon as it was posted.
Jiang Jiancheng is turning into an internet troll, madly arguing with the poster of that post.
The usually bustling room seemed a little empty. The rarely used television was on, playing various notices and news on a rotating basis. This made him feel less lonely. After typing the last sentence, he walked to the innermost room and knocked on the door.
"Dad, Mom, come out for dinner."
There was no sound from inside. They had been like this since they came back from the hospital.
"You're scaring me like this," Jiang Jiancheng said, turning on his phone and sending his parents some helpful information. It was full of articles about easily curable illnesses.
"Don't make any noise, let us be quiet."
"But I have to eat." He was helpless.
"If I don't eat it, it's a waste of food." Lately, with so many emergencies, the supermarkets and markets downstairs have been completely sold out, leaving not even a can of chewing gum. The vegetables at home are gone, so every day I just make some rice porridge, seasoned with some previously bought dried goods. If this continues, I won't be able to survive for much longer.
"..." No matter how much I persuade him, he won't listen. It's really exhausting. The key is that his voice sounds normal, not like he's sick.
Jiang Jiancheng sighed and returned to the living room, where a new piece of news was being broadcast on TV.
"A hot post has appeared online today. Although the events described there may seem unrealistic, they are actually happening. Please listen to the on-site reporter's report..."
"We're now at the Central Hospital and have interviewed the person in charge of this situation..."
The conversation between the reporter and the doctor reached Jiang Jiancheng's ears. "This is not a disease, but a sign of human evolution, specifically..."
"Mom and Dad! Come out and watch TV!" He threw down his phone, and before the screen went out, he could vaguely see that the previous hot posts were rapidly increasing in number of pages.
“Is it really a good idea to make the truth public?” The staff who assisted in this matter felt puzzled.
The person in charge shook his head. "Currently, deaths due to the disease aren't that high, but there are a lot of casualties and even suicides caused by panic. We have to believe that this situation will improve, and the follow-up will no longer be a secret. It would be better to announce it as soon as possible to reassure people."
In fact, the earliest news that a large-scale virus outbreak would occur was a month ago.
This incident was made public by an insider and circulated within a certain circle. This person was the so-called "person with special abilities." Believe it or not, the higher-ups had already taken notice of this matter, so the response was relatively prompt after the incident.
It was only after the outbreak that the higher-ups realized there were many similar individuals, and they were quite capable. According to reports, without any assistance, the mortality rate of this disease was extremely high, potentially killing all scientific research and medical personnel from the very beginning.
Under such circumstances, no effective research and development can be carried out at all, let alone new drugs, it is even hard to say whether the hospital can continue to operate.
Thanks to these people, things went so smoothly.
Distant planet.
"Has Planet DN34 started upgrading?"
"Report, the planet has entered a state of rapid escalation, but the situation is significantly different from what was expected."
"How do you say that?"
"Under normal circumstances, the life on the planet should have already begun a major cleanup. However, the main intelligent species, humans, haven't had much impact yet. It seems that other factors are interfering."
"Send a team to DN34 to check the situation."
While everyone was still skeptical about the news on TV, the food supply chain was recovering.
Ordinary vegetables, meat, etc. are still in short supply, but some staple foods that are easy to store and transport can already be purchased through various channels, but in small quantities.
The situation is gradually improving. Among the first group of recovered patients, some have volunteered to serve as volunteers. They will no longer be affected by their illness and can take on important roles.
Of course, there are also people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. They can move freely and provide services for a fee, such as helping people who are unable to go out to buy necessities and selling them at high prices.
After the situation improved, the skill spreader no longer required the precise manual control it once did. Taskers began to resign.
"The currency exchange in the mall has been taken off the shelves. I have to find a way to make some money." Yu Xiangwen did not hide it at all.
Lu Fei came over with the freshly brewed coffee: "What, are you out of money?"
"Yes, from the day the disease broke out, the currency was removed from the shelves. Even if you buy other system items, you can't sell them to others for use. Otherwise, the items inside can be sold here for a lot of money."
Lu Fei calculated the time Yu Xiangwen mentioned and clicked a few times on the system: "I see there is a currency exchange in the mall now."
"Really?" Yu Xiangwen opened his system. "Why is it so much more expensive?" Before, 1 energy point could be exchanged for 1,000, but now it's 1 energy point for 230. He began to protest to his system.
The energy he had earned from his system was enough to keep him comfortable for a while, but now it had shrunk significantly. He decided to find a way to use his abilities to make money.
[We've detected intelligent life from other galaxies approaching. Would you like to exchange a barrier for your new sphere?] A pop-up window appeared in front of Yu Xiangwen.
Every 5,000 energy points can be exchanged for 1 day of barrier.
The tasker on the side looked gloomy. Why was it never-ending?
[Reminder: The civilization level of your plane is too low. If you do not redeem the barrier, you will be unable to resist.]
[The system has verified that this symptom is caused by the planet's upgrade. The world consciousness has noticed that this planet has entered the field of vision of other civilizations. The rapid upgrade is the planet's own spontaneous and excessive defensive reaction.]
Lu Fei noticed that the other people's expressions were not right, and one of them said, "Are you guys going to exchange?"
A baby-faced girl sat on the sofa with her legs crossed. She casually clicked to confirm the exchange and was entering the number of days to exchange. "Of course, I can always earn more energy if I run out. System, the barrier won't affect my ability to continue with other tasks, right?"
From her observation, there were probably at least twenty or thirty people who were tasked with the mission. Each person exchanged one day for a month's time. A month was more than enough for her to complete a mission. Not to mention, the owner of this plane's healing station system seemed much wealthier than them. Even if the sky fell, the taller ones would hold it up, and they would take it one step at a time.
Other taskers also began to choose to enter the redemption days based on their remaining energy values.
Lu Fei did not have this hint, he was not a native of this plane.
【Note: Navigation is invalid.】
"What's going on?"
[Planet number DN34 has disappeared and cannot be captured.]
"A civilization of this level cannot achieve this even if it upgrades in a short period of time."
"Are you still going to take a look?"
"Report this to your superiors first. If this matter is likely to involve the intervention of other advanced civilizations, then there is a high probability."
"Return."
Things gradually improved, and those who recovered underwent changes to varying degrees.
Some gained the ability to manipulate natural elements, while others saw their mental strength strengthened and their thoughts become clearer. Poor students became top students, and top students became geniuses.
In addition to humans, other things have also changed, and talking animals and monsters have appeared...
Eryi's basic magic recovery rate has changed from 0.5 per minute to 1 magic point per minute, the same as the C-level plane.
The D-level plane on the transfer page logo has been replaced by the C-level plane.
Eryi took out the magic wand she brought from the magic plane and chanted the spell softly.
A faint light was emitted from the tip of the wand. The effect was weaker than in the magical world, but still effective.
Eryi moved the treatment station back to his residence, and the shop was temporarily vacant before its lease expired.
After this incident, farmed animals were almost wiped out, and Lu Fei wanted to invest in artificial meat and farmed fish.
Market economic chaos takes a lot of time to recover.
Eryi's parents belong to the category of mental power upgrade.
The moment they recovered, they discovered that the daughter they had been communicating with was actually two people.
One is his own daughter, and the other one...
Lu Fei clicked on the voice message in a certain window of the chat software, and an angry voice came out from it: "Who are you! Why are you pretending to be my daughter!"
