Chapter 249 Pneumonia Virus
The new infectious disease was named pneumonic virus by Yunhai City. Nine out of ten people infected with this disease will suffer damage to their lungs.
The pneumonic plague virus gradually spread in the floating city, and the face masks that had been taken off because of the decrease in mosquitoes were put on again.
Xia Xiaoman originally wanted to find out He Jingxuan's whereabouts and kill this scumbag at once. After knowing that the infectious disease was prevalent outside, she gave up the idea of looking for He Jingxuan.
He Jingxuan could be killed at any time, but if it cost her her life, it would be too much of a waste.
When Fucheng received the news of the infectious disease in Yunhai City, it had already prepared for the future and formulated a plan on how to deal with the infection in Fucheng. So when it was discovered that some areas of Fucheng were infected with the pneumonic virus, the previously formulated plan was immediately implemented.
The number of people patrolling the streets has doubled, isolation sheds are being quickly built near medical stations, and the authorities have also sent convoys to other cities to purchase large quantities of Chinese and Western medicines. The military hospital contacted the Yunhai City Hospital early on to exchange their experiences in treating infectious patients, hoping to get some inspiration from each other's experiences.
However, this series of changes has little impact on ordinary people. The only impact is that the time period for fetching water has changed.
After the water restriction was re-imposed, the water supply time at Shuiyue Bay was scheduled from 6pm to 10pm. Now it has been adjusted to 4pm to 10pm, two hours longer than before.
The two-hour extension of the water-drawing time is because people in the queue for water now have to keep a distance of three meters from each other. Once the square is full of people, the remaining people can either go home and wait, or find a place to sit, but they cannot gather together.
As a result, the speed of pumping water became slower, so the time of pumping water was extended.
Xia Xiaoman did not go to fetch water. She had not left the house since she knew someone in Fucheng was infected with the pneumonia virus. She even refused to see Chen Peiqiong, who brought her wild vegetables every day. She told Chen Peiqiong not to come over recently and not to dig any wild vegetables. Wild vegetables were not as important as life. She should just stay at home to avoid getting infected.
Xia Xiaoman, who stayed at home, was not idle either.
When the weather warmed up, all the people living in the sewers moved out. Many people moved back to their original residences, but many people also scrambled to move into the villa area.
In the past, they were reluctant to come to the villa area because they had just experienced floods and thought it was better to live in high floors. But now that they have experienced extreme cold, they realize how good villas with basements are.
The villa area was full of people, and who knew if anyone would bring back infectious diseases. The pneumonia virus was so contagious that she was worried even if there was a road between the villas.
Xia Xiaoman took out disinfectant and sprinkled it in every corner of the house after diluting it. The doors and windows of the house were also sealed, leaving only the window on the first floor facing the vegetable garden, which she opened every night to water the vegetable garden.
The sun was a bit strong recently, and the doors and windows of the house were closed, making the indoor temperature a bit stuffy. Xia Xiaoman installed an air conditioner and exercised at home every day.
Days like this made her feel like she was trapped in the basement during a snowstorm. She suddenly wanted to thank Sun Qing for giving her the egg. Without the egg, she would be trapped at home every day, and no matter how strong she was, she would be overwhelmed by endless loneliness.
Suddenly, a shrill rooster crowed in the basement. Xia Xiaoman came to her senses and found that Maodan had disappeared and a gap appeared in the basement door.
Xia Xiaoman immediately ran to the basement, where Maodan was peeing into the chicken coop with his legs up. The chickens in the coop were frightened and kept clucking.
Xia Xiaoman and Maodan looked at each other, Maodan awkwardly crossed his legs, and then he couldn't pee, and he couldn't put his legs down. Seeing that Xia Xiaoman's expression was wrong, Maodan ran away quickly and went into the stove.
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
Smelling the urine smell coming from the chicken coop, Xia Xiaoman's forehead was bulging with veins, and he yelled at the stove: "Maodan! Get out here!"
"Awooo!" It just wants to make friends with the hen, why is it so fierce!
"Come out here! Did I give you less food or drink? You always find ways to get into the basement and eat my chickens! You've scared the chickens so much that they won't lay eggs anymore. Come out!"
Xia Xiaoman reached into the stove and tried to pull Maodan out. Maodan refused to come out and huddled inside, howling and sounding unconvinced.
Xia Xiaoman was so angry that she laughed. She was about to pour some water into the pot to force the ignorant wolf cub out, when she heard a slight noise outside. Before she could react, Maodan ran out of the stove with a whoosh, ran to the living room in a few seconds, and stared at the door vigilantly.
Although it may play around, it never lags behind when it comes to serious work.
"Xiao Man! Xiao Man, Dad was wrong, please open the door. Dad knows I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that before, please open the door!"
"Mom also knows that I was wrong, Xiaoman, I will never force you to get married again. Do whatever you want, Xiaoman, open the door and save me and your dad!"
When Xia Xiaoman returned to the living room, she heard the miserable cries of her parents. She wore a mask and went to the balcony on the second floor to observe outside. There was no one outside the yard except her parents. It seemed that this was not a trap set by the scumbag He Jingxuan.
It’s no wonder Xia Xiaoman is so cautious, it’s just that He Jingxuan is such a scumbag and too cunning.
At the same time, Xia's father and mother knocked on the door for a long time but heard no movement from inside, so they planned to climb over the wall to come in.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman was considering whether to wait until their legs were broken by the trap before speaking out, or to stop them now. It wasn't that she was soft-hearted, but mainly because if these two people were trapped in her yard, she would have to go out and drive them away. If these two people got sick, she would be dead.
After thinking for two seconds, she said, "Why are you here? Do you want to be beaten?"
Father and Mother Xia were already feeling guilty, and when they heard her voice, they were both startled and fell off the wall. They were lucky not to fall into the yard, otherwise they would have been covered in animal traps.
Father Xia ignored the pain, got up from the ground and said humbly: "Xiao Man, Dad knows he was wrong. Dad shouldn't have treated you like that before. Can you open the door and let Dad in? Dad promises that he will treat you well in the future, just like he treats your brother."
Xia's mother also echoed and promised that she would take care of her wholeheartedly from now on.
Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, "Where's my cousin? Why didn't he come? Could it be that he died and you have no hope, so you came to find me!"
"He, he is not dead, he was just captured." Father Xia avoided the gaze.
Xia Xiaoman asked, "He was taken away? Who took him away? He Jingxuan?"
"No, he was arrested and quarantined." Mother Xia spoke so quickly that she blurted out the words before Father Xia could even cover her mouth.
Xia Xiaoman's face changed drastically when he heard this. "Xia Yaozong was infected with the disease? What about you? Have you been infected with the disease?"
