Chapter 188 Fear



Zhang Heping's eyes were red, and he sniffed as he said, "It's alright. I, Zhang Heping, am blessed by the heavens. I will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and avert disaster!"

"Yes, I will. When you come back, I'll throw you a celebration party!"

"Okay, I'll have ten dishes, and that bottle of your good wine..."

"Don't worry, I've saved them all for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Heping went to collect protective clothing, a mask, and goggles. Once he was fully dressed and returned to his office, he looked at the pile of food on his desk and smiled helplessly.

He originally intended to send it to Song Qingqing to supplement the nutrition of the siblings, but now he regretted chatting with Song Qingqing for so long.

If he's alright, that would be best. But if he's already infected, will Song Qingqing have also been infected during the hour or so she spent talking with him?

I hope not, otherwise my conscience will be troubled for the rest of my life.

As for these things, keep them for yourself!

After hanging up with Zhang Heping, Shen Yanming called Li Zhaozhao and Ji Kangyong, telling them not to go out for the next few days, to keep an eye on the news from the Qinghe Alliance, and to take precautions if they absolutely had to go out.

Then, Shen Yanming sent a message to the company group chat.

He couldn't say much more, since the official statement hadn't been released yet. Shen Yanming could only offer a vague hint, but fortunately, everyone in his unit was smart enough to understand what he meant after he gave a few words.

Bi Qiaoan listened to the whole thing, and her face turned pale. She felt like her soul was about to fly away.

“I didn’t have this disease in my previous life?” Bi Qiaoan said, her body trembling slightly.

Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's shoulders and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be afraid. We are the chosen ones, nothing will happen. You have to believe in Qinghe Alliance, and you have to believe in the Research Institute!"

Bi Qiaoan immediately threw herself into Shen Yanming's arms, tears streaming down her face. This was the first time they had faced a true apocalyptic crisis since their rebirth.

Previously, relying on their past life experiences, their spatial abilities, and the guidance of the dream oracle in the Qinghe Alliance, they had a smooth and successful journey.

But when something that didn't happen in their previous life suddenly occurred, Bi Qiaoan realized that their previous reliance was not only useless, but also became a hindrance to them in the face of the crisis.

Even when they faced the Unknown No. 1 last time, they weren't this terrified, because although the infected were suffering, the disease wasn't contagious, and the number of Unknown No. 1 infected in Qinghua Country was kept at 20,000 without any increase.

But things are different now. It's contagious, has a long incubation period, and is difficult to detect. Once detected, it's irreversible, there's no targeted treatment, you can only endure it and wait to die...

Bi Qiaoan cried for a while before calming down. Then, with a heavy nasal voice, she called Song Wennuan and Jiang Shanshan to remind them not to go out recently.

Then, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan ate dinner at home while watching the news, trying to keep up with the latest updates.

But there was nothing there; the news reports were still full of singing and dancing.

However, the host reminded everyone on the program that the flu is quite severe recently, so please try not to go out, especially to crowded places.

If you must go out due to special circumstances, please wear a mask and be sure to burn mosquito repellent incense.

Although mosquito repellent fragrances are well-known in Qinghua Kingdom, most people still burn them at home. Not everyone knows that you can put the fragrances in a scented ball and carry it with you, and not everyone is willing to burn mosquito repellent fragrances every day.

This time, the news anchor also specifically recommended aromatherapy balls and introduced many reliable shops.

Qinghe Alliance did not participate in the production or pricing of these stores, but Qinghe Alliance sent quality inspectors to supervise and inspect the entire process to ensure that every batch of products was of qualified quality.

Before the news ended, the host also told everyone that starting tomorrow, mosquito repellent fragrance will be available in large quantities, and each ID number can purchase one pack of mosquito repellent fragrance, which can be used for about a month.

In fact, Qinghe Alliance wanted an unlimited supply, but the raw materials were limited, so they could only get through this month first.

It's hard to say; if the situation improves next month, we won't need such a large amount of spices.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at the news report and felt that Qinghe Alliance must already know something.

“It seems very likely that it was transmitted through mosquito bites,” Bi Qiaoan said.

Shen Yanming nodded. "Now I can finally feel a little more at ease. If mosquito bites are the only way it's transmitted, Zhang Heping should be fine. He uses the spices I gave him every day."

After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan bit her lip and said, "I didn't give Song Wennuan and Jiang Shanshan any spices."

"It's alright. If you're worried, we can send them some Alliance spices tomorrow."

Bi Qiaoan shook her head. "Everyone is short of mosquito repellent fragrance right now, so it's very unusual for us to deliver it to their door!"

Shen Yanming smiled and patted Bi Qiaoan's head. "Yes, safety should be the top priority. You must continue to do so, my wife. In my eyes, even Zhang Heping and the others are not as important as you."

Bi Qiaoan blushed slightly at his words and gave Shen Yanming a quick kiss on the cheek, saying, "I love you!"

Shen Yanming knew that Bi Qiaoan had completely emerged from her previous sadness and fear, so he was no longer satisfied with this way of expressing his love.

So, he demanded affection from Bi Qiaoan in his own way, and the result was swollen lips, glazed eyes, and rapid breathing...

Around 10 p.m., two people, completely covered from head to toe and whose faces were obscured, left Building 6 and headed towards Qingning Mountain.

"I can just wear two scented balls, but you insisted on putting a veil over my face. Honey, I can't even see where I'm going. Aren't you afraid I'll fall?" Bi Qiaoan complained, tugging at Shen Yanming's sleeve. Her voice was soft and sweet, like she was being coquettish.

"Honey, this is double protection. Look at me, I don't usually wear scented balls, but I've put one on now. As for walking, don't worry, I can see you clearly."

Shen Yanming's veil was different from Bi Qiaoan's. Bi Qiaoan wrapped her head with a whole piece of gauze, stuffed it into her neck, and tied it with a silk scarf.

As for Shen Yanming's face, two holes were cut directly in his eyes, and then he wore goggles, so he could see clearly.

"How about I carry you on my back?" Shen Yanming said, making a move to squat down when he saw Bi Qiaoan walking unsteadily.

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "No, let's leave it at that, but you have to take responsibility for me, and whatever you do, don't let me fall."

After saying that, Bi Qiaoan closed her eyes, hugged Shen Yanming's arm tightly with both hands, and hung on him.
