Susan never imagined that one day she would be able to escape disaster by relying on her body odor.
The tourist island, which should have been brightly lit, became dark and lifeless due to an insect plague, lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
When she stumbled out of the hotel, she couldn't see the road ahead clearly. Coupled with her fear, she ran more and more crookedly and lost her direction.
She accidentally fell down and landed in an open sewage pool.
The pool water gave off a strong stench, like the smell of all the rotten things in the world thrown in and fermented.
Susan crawled out while vomiting.
After vomiting all the bile, she propped herself up and continued to look for a way out.
And it was from that time that she discovered that the black bugs that had been chasing and biting her had left.
At first she thought the black bugs hadn't noticed her, but later, as she observed for longer and longer periods of time, she finally realized that it was the dirty water on her body that had caused the black bugs to give up hunting.
The mother body that the black worms host is a fresh living person, but she has a foul odor and can easily be mistaken by the black worms for a dead person. This is a blessing in disguise.
With the help of this lucky charm, she looked for road signs everywhere.
There must be some place where she can take refuge. She doesn't believe that there is no other living person on this island except her!
She dragged her exhausted body until the first rays of dawn appeared on the seashore. In the distance, she saw a white building - the Island Medical Center.
For some reason, after seeing the building, her intuition told her that it was safe and worth going there.
Susan gritted her teeth and struggled hard towards her target.
Bruce felt that he was careless. He actually dared to underestimate these man-eating insects.
But the man had already rushed into the street, attracting the attention of the black bug, and he had no choice but to run.
He ran wildly on the road, looking for a suitable hiding place as he ran.
Suddenly, he saw a red building at the corner diagonally ahead.
It's the fire center!
He was overjoyed and ran towards his destination with all his might!
However, when people arrived in front of the building, they found that there was no one in the fire center.
This is what great joy and great sorrow are like. Bruce stopped and felt sad.
Shouldn't he have left the mobile shop?
Is there really only one way out, which is death?
Hearing the black bugs getting closer and closer behind him, he had already given up on escaping, but for some reason, he suddenly felt the desire to survive again!
No, we must not give up until the last moment!
He hinted to himself and took another step forward.
He rushed into the fire station and after more than ten seconds, he suddenly stood in front of the door holding a flamethrower.
"Die, bugs! Burn you to death!"
A huge fire spurted out of the nozzle with a puff, and the black insects curled up and fell to the ground.
Before the other bugs caught up, Bruce quickly withdrew and retreated.
He rushed into the warehouse, leaned against the iron door, and panted.
Someone has been here.
This was his first thought after he calmed down.
The door of this warehouse showed signs of being pried open, probably by someone targeting the flamethrower.
There should have been many flamethrowers in the warehouse, but now there are only a dozen or so left.
This shows that the people who came here have a large army behind them, otherwise it would be impossible for them to take away so much at one time!
Thinking of this, Bruce's eyes lit up. He took a deep breath and decided to go out to look for the main force.
Without the thunderstorm buff, the terrifying black bugs were helpless against Song Yue and the other three who were wearing protective suits.
They first burned the black bugs in the hall, and then went to the reception desk to look for food.
Sure enough, they found bread, potato chips, chicken feet and other snacks, which were probably stockpiled by the nurse who was on duty here before.
The three of them immediately tore open the packaging, took off half of their protective suits, and began to eat voraciously.
Suddenly, Jiaojiao froze for a moment and pointed outside the building: "There's someone outside!"
Song Yue turned her head and was surprised to see that it was Susan.
However, because he was wearing protective clothing, the other party did not recognize him.
Susan noticed that there were indeed medical staff in the hall, and she excitedly threw herself against the glass door: "Open the door, please open the door, please?"
The huge surprise made her unable to control her expression and tears flowed down her face.
Song Yue walked in front of her and unlocked the door: "Come in first and follow me to the second floor."
Susan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and looked straight into the transparent eye mask. Suddenly, her eyes widened: "Xiaoyue!!!"
She couldn't believe she saw her here!
Song Yue said softly, "Control the volume. There are still black bugs upstairs."
As he said this, he went up to the second floor with a flamethrower.
Susan followed Song Yue in shock. At this moment, her previous thoughts were confirmed in her heart again - she should have left the hotel with him long ago!
Otherwise, how could she have suffered so much?
With mixed feelings, she followed Song Yue to a small warehouse.
Song Yue pointed to a cabinet inside and said, "There are protective suits like mine in there. Take one and put it on."
Susan nodded immediately and put it on herself skillfully.
Protective clothing is a great thing! I feel much safer after putting it on!
This was the first time she felt so relieved since the insect plague broke out.
Before this, she had been living on edge. Susan felt that if she had not left the hotel, she would not have starved to death, but would have been scared to death.
With one more person on the team, the building's cleanup speed was further accelerated.
Just as they were cleaning, Song Yue suddenly heard Susan's reminder: "Xiao Yue, look quickly, isn't that Bruce on the first floor?"
Bruce is a colleague in their department. He is usually honest and kind, and often does extra work.
Song Yue recalled his appearance and personality in her mind, and at the same time, she looked closely, and it was true.
But the other party looked tired, his steps were weak, and he was holding a flamethrower in his hand.
It seems that he escaped from the fire center.
So he went downstairs with Susan and brought the person in.
When Bruce saw Song Yue and Susan here, he almost didn't react at first.
He glanced at the two of them in a daze and forced a smile: "Am I dreaming? Or am I already dead?"
Hunger and prolonged tension made him unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Until Susan took off half of her protective suit, patted his face and said, "Wake up! You are not dreaming!"
His gaze gradually changed from vague to focused. Bruce stared at Susan for a long time, and then looked into Song Yue's transparent eye mask. Finally, his heart skipped a beat and his lips trembled.
"Great! It's really you...! I'm alive, I'm still alive...!"
As he spoke, he began to cry.
He thought he couldn't even make it this far.
Although he had a flamethrower, which provided some self-protection, there were too many black bugs on the way.
When he was almost at the medical building, most of his flamethrowers had been used up. He had been planning to go back home, but unexpectedly he actually found a large army!
Bruce leaned his hands against the wall and cried loudly.
Looking at Bruce's tearful face, Susan understood his feelings very well, but now it was her turn to be the receptionist: "Don't worry, the medical center is safer than outside. Once we clean up the bugs, you can stay here without worry!"
She learned from Song Yue about the plan to transform the medical center into a shelter, so she shared the good news with her colleagues as soon as possible.
Bruce realized that he had lost his composure and quickly stopped crying.
Because I was too absent-minded before, I didn't pay attention to the environment in the hall at all. When I looked around now, I found that there were almost no black bugs here. Occasionally, a few were hovering overhead, trying to swoop down. Song Yue sprayed out a flamethrower, and all the bugs fell to the ground.
Filled with emotion, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said seriously to Song Yue and Susan, "If you need any help, just tell me!"
He had finally found a shelter and was determined to protect it at all costs!
The corpses and insects on each floor were dragged to the lobby and then taken outside in batches to be burned.
After doing all this, everyone was finally able to take off their protective suits, revealing their already wet faces and bodies.
Only Susan refused to take it off, and she hesitated and made some excuses.
Song Yue said, "There is a toilet on the west side of each floor. Everyone can find their own floor and take care of it."
Eager to wash off the stench on her body immediately, Susan was the first to nod and chose the nearest floor, the 3rd floor.
Song Yue chose the 6th floor, which was the farthest away, not for any other reason but because she hoped she wouldn't be discovered when entering the space.
She always felt uncomfortable using the water in the toilet, which had a particularly strong smell of disinfectant, so she simply went to the space to get water for washing.
The water in the space is of excellent quality and can be drunk directly. Using it to wipe the body is definitely better than using disinfectant. It's also available in unlimited quantities, and there's no need to pay for water, which is so convenient.
Song Yue wiped her body happily, then boiled two pots of hot water, mixed them with cold water in a basin, and washed her hair.
Finally, he took out the hair dryer, plugged it into the toilet, and started blowing.
All the dirty clothes were thrown into the washing machine (from Qianhe Lake Hotel) in the space. After calculating the time, she would come in to get them in half an hour.
When exiting the space, Song Yue received a system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host, the required task 2 (building a small shelter) has been opened]
[Current task progress: 6/150]
Song Yue understood that the 150 at the end represented the number of people that had to be in the shelter, and the 6 at the beginning indicated how many people were currently accommodated.
It’s still a long way off, she thought, and prepared to think of a solution later.
There is no cafeteria in the medical center, so eating is a problem.
Fortunately, a lot of food could be found on every floor, either stockpiled by previous doctors and nurses, or bought by patients' families. All together, it was enough for the six of them to eat for a whole week.
"I didn't expect to find so much..." Jiaojiao was overwhelmed with emotions. On the one hand, she was happy to find food, but on the other hand, she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that the owners of these foods were no longer around.
Song Yue's attention was not on this aspect. She was thinking about how to find a long-term source of food supply in the future.
At least 150 people have to live in the shelter, and each person has one meal, so how much food should be supplied every day?
Moreover, food is one thing, and accommodation and management have also become new problems.
This shelter is basically equivalent to a small social circle, and conflicts can easily break out if there are management problems.
But she has never been good at management. In fact, many times, she thinks using fists is more effective than using words to reason.
This is also why she came for the dean in the first place.
It’s a pity that the dean has passed away, and the only one left... is Dr. Chen, who has slightly more experience.
However, Dr. Chen will probably be busy treating patients and will probably not have time to do anything else.
After much thought, Song Yue finally realized sadly that she was the only one who could do this.
Then just make the rules.
She divided the food a little and ate while slowly expressing her thoughts.
