Upon hearing Li Dabao's voice, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and rushed over to take a look from a distance.
All that could be seen were fragments of collapsed houses, tables, benches, and pieces of wood floating on the raging floodwaters.
In the distance, several small dark figures could be vaguely seen rushing towards this direction with the floodwaters.
One of the objects was a humanoid figure that was constantly being carried by the river towards this side.
After reading it, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.
Then they saw a large group of rotting corpses rushing into the floodwaters in front of them, next to and behind the body.
One of the women's bodies was swept ashore by the water; her skin was white, some of her flesh had begun to rot, and she was emitting a foul stench.
Looking at the state of decomposition of the female corpse, Lu Yuan felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
At this moment, Deng Yuanyuan, who was standing next to Song Heng, walked over, took out a pair of leather gloves from her pocket, and conducted some examinations on the female corpse.
Everyone felt that the female corpse must have been dead for a long time, and there was no point in examining her. However, Deng Yuanyuan was squatting on the ground and looked very serious, so no one disturbed her.
After a while, Deng Yuanyuan took out several small bottles from her pocket and put some rotten flesh that she had taken from the female corpse into the bottles.
"I need to take these things back for testing. In the meantime, it's best if everyone avoids drinking the water here!"
As soon as Deng Yuanyuan finished speaking, the expressions of the four people all turned serious.
In the following days, several more corpses floated to the surface near the drainage ditch in Zone 3.
In order to prevent the area from being polluted, Lu Yuan specifically instructed the people in District 3 to regularly clean up all the floating corpses that drifted over, in order to prevent the pollution of the nearby water sources.
Because there weren't any outstanding testing institutions, Deng Yuanyuan's side could only use some other drugs for comparative testing.
Everyone was a poor student and couldn't understand what new virus Deng Yuanyuan could detect.
However, three days later, Deng Yuanyuan sent a message in the group.
"I recently conducted some tests using some drug samples left at the school and discovered that the skin of these floating corpses was decomposing at a much faster rate than usual."
Here are some small experiments I conducted. I hope everyone will take this seriously and avoid drinking water that flows down nearby!
Upon seeing this news, Lu Yuan was immediately startled and rushed to Song Heng's house.
However, after knocking on the door for a long time, Song Heng, who looked weak, opened the door.
The other person's lips were cracked, their body was weak and trembling, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Brother Lu? What brings you here?"
Seeing the other person's weak appearance, Lu Yuan quickly helped him up, but unexpectedly the other person pushed him away.
"Brother Lu, you'd better stay away from me!"
After speaking, the other person coughed twice and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. However, Lu Yuan, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed a patch of blood red on the other person's sleeve.
"What happened? Are they poisoned?"
The other person covered their mouth and nose with their sleeve to prevent the droplets from their cough from infecting Lu Yuan.
"Well, it's perfect that you're here too. I'd like to talk to you about something, but I hope you won't tell anyone!"
Lu Yuan immediately got angry, then grabbed the other person's shoulder and walked inside.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong medicinal odor.
At this moment, Deng Yuanyuan was lying on the bed, looking very weak.
"Song Heng, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Song Heng leaned against the door frame, a look of desolation finally flashing across his eyes.
"Sigh! Yuanyuan didn't want me to tell you, but actually the reason was discovered during the virus test last time!"
"These bodies were decomposing so quickly that she conducted some tests, but unexpectedly, the virus infected him!"
"To prevent the virus from spreading, we've been staying home these past few days and haven't gone out!"
"Damn it, why didn't you tell me about this? Did you really think you could handle this virus all by yourself? What a joke!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's angry curses, Deng Yuanyuan coughed twice, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Lu Yuan with a smile in her eyes.
"Brother Lu, thank you for still remembering us, but you'd better stay away from us. We plan to fend for ourselves and not cause any trouble for Number Three here!"
"What are you talking about? What do you take us for? There are only about thirty people in our District Three. Who will work for me after you two die!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, both of them shed tears of gratitude.
However, after a while, once Deng Yuanyuan had calmed herself down a bit, she forcefully sat up, supporting herself on the bed.
"Brother Lu, this virus is one I've never seen before. It can destroy the human immune system in a very short time!"
"Moreover, it is extremely contagious. I only found out on the second day, and I really regretted not taking precautions at that time!"
"Alright, enough nonsense. Tell me what symptoms you're experiencing so I can do a survey of everyone in Zone 3 and see who's infected. These damned floating corpses actually drifted over here, but we never imagined there would be a virus! If everyone gets infected, we're really doomed!"
