Chapter 4 The Infected
The hot searches are full of complaints.
Zhao Yeqing: "You have to take precautions. You can do your job from home anyway. Apply to the company soon."
Kong Sisi: "I know, I know. You are the best to me. I love you, baby. Come here and give me a kiss."
Zhao Yeqing ignored her. Then she remembered that she had bought everything except the commonly used medicines.
She looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she took the fruits and incense paper she had bought in the morning, picked up a bottle of wine, put on her sickle and walked into the mountains.
Today is Qingming Festival. Zhao Yeqing arrived at her grandparents' grave. Surprisingly, there were not many weeds around. It should be that the people from the Mu family next door came back to weed and put fruits on the grave. She also did not forget the graves of Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu next door. She lit incense and burned a lot of paper money. She poured wine for both grandfathers. She didn't say anything or cry. She just stayed there quietly.
It was unknown how long it had been before she blinked her dry eyes, checked the time, rubbed her hands on the tombstone, smiled, and turned away.
The tricycle ran out of battery, so she walked down the mountain and took a passing minibus. She bought a lot of medicine in the town, including some for internal and external use, masks, bandages, etc., as well as insect and snake repellents.
He went to Feng Chunyan's house carrying a large bag of medicine, told them what was reported in the news, gave them some of the medicine from the bag, and reminded them to wear a mask when going out. Before leaving, Feng Chunyan stuffed a large bag of bacon, salami, sausages and pork ribs into his pocket.
Recently, she has put a lot of things into her refrigerator, but her home is a small 300L refrigerator, which is full before it can hold too many things. So, considering the possibility of risk control again, adhering to the concept of sustainable development, she bought a cage of chickens and two geese.
In rural areas, if you want to keep snakes away from your home, you must raise geese in the yard.
I also bought some vegetables such as cabbage, radish, potato and sweet potato, which are durable and can be stored in the cellar.
The daily necessities such as toilet paper that she bought online also arrived. She received the express delivery and stood on the roadside looking at the pile of things at her feet, feeling a little worried. She was about to call Feng·Toolman·Lixuan when she heard someone calling her.
"Zhao Yeqing?"
When the visitor saw her turn around and reveal her beautiful face, his face couldn't help but blush.
"It's really you. Why are you back? Do you still remember me?"
Zhao Yeqing recognized him as the junior high school classmate who had handed her a love letter.
"Wang Chao? Long time no see."
Seeing that the other party recognized him, Wang Chao scratched his head and smiled.
"You're going back to your hometown in the mountains? I'll take you there. I'm going back too." He pointed to the pickup truck behind him and said, "I'm just delivering some goods to the town."
She remembered that Wang Chao's family was in the food and groceries wholesale business, and the snacks sold in the school canteen were all delivered by their family.
"It's okay, I'll ask someone to pick me up and I won't bother you anymore."
Wang Chao waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. Old classmates, please don't be so formal. I just happened to be going to the village to deliver goods. The person in charge of counting the goods in the town supermarket is not here. I will go to the village first and come back later." After that, he picked up the things in front of Zhao Yeqing and said, "Hurry up, get in the car, I'll do it."
Zhao Yeqing did not refuse again and helped to load the things into the car. The car was a medium-sized truck, which had been modified inside and had air conditioning and could hold refrigerated goods.
Along the way, Wang Chao was somewhat excited and kept talking about which of his old classmates got married and how old their children were.
Zhao Yeqing kept smiling and listened silently, replying from time to time. When they passed a village, Wang Chao stopped the car and asked her to wait for a while while he went to the bathroom.
She nodded, stayed in the car and opened her phone to download movies. The signal on the mountain was not very good, especially with the operator she used. It was okay for making calls, but the network was not good and often used 3G.
I downloaded two movies, and more than half an hour passed, but the person still didn't come back.
Zhao Yeqing was puzzled. This constipation shouldn’t last so long, right?
After getting off the car, she walked into the village to find someone to ask which house Wang Chao went to use the toilet. After walking for two minutes, she didn't see anyone on the road. She guessed that it should be the houses at the entrance of the village and not too far away, so she wanted to knock on one of the doors to ask, but she heard a strange sound coming from inside.
Heavy panting, gurgling sounds of eating, and snoring were like the suppressed voice of a wild animal to protect its food.
She put her hand on the door, but before she knocked, the door was gently pushed open a crack, followed by an extremely strong smell of blood. She subconsciously stopped moving and looked through the crack in the door to see that the ground in the yard was covered in blood. A gasping person was lying with his back to the door, biting another bloody person. The person being bitten was obviously dead, with his eyes wide open and his hand stretched straight towards the door, leaving bloody handprints on the ground. It seemed that he was struggling to crawl out before he died.
It was Wang Chao who had just gone to the toilet.
Zhao Yeqing's breathing stopped and she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
She pursed her lips tightly to suppress the nausea in her throat, and tiptoed back away until she was five or six meters away. Then she turned around and ran away.
There was a roar from behind her, followed by the sound of footsteps running towards her.
There was only one thought in her blank mind: run!
He drove at a speed that he would never be able to surpass in his lifetime, ran to the side of the road, got into the driver's seat, released the handbrake, and was about to step on the accelerator when he saw the man with blood in his mouth approaching.
Zhao Yeqing stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. She bit her tongue and tried hard to force herself to calm down. She felt her scalp and head numb. She saw in the rearview mirror that the man was quickly left far behind. After driving a long way, she slowed down and looked in the rearview mirror to make sure that the man did not catch up with her. She parked the car on the side of the road, picked up the phone with trembling hands and dialed 110.
She didn’t know what was going on. She called three times before she got through. Her voice was trembling: “I just saw someone being bitten to death... The location was in village x.”
The other party didn't seem surprised and spoke quickly: "We understand the situation, please don't panic, are you safe now, can you leave that place immediately?"
Zhao Yeqing said he had already driven away.
"Contact your family first and make sure your home is safe. Then go back home, close the doors and windows, and don't go out. We will handle the follow-up."
After Zhao Yeqing finished the call, he felt something was wrong. What did it mean to confirm that the family was safe?
Before she could figure it out, the phone rang. As soon as she answered it, Feng Chunyan's anxious voice came: "My dear, where are you?"
Zhao Yeqing only said that he had gone back to the mountain after buying things, and did not tell anyone about the murder that had just occurred.
When she heard Zhao Yeqing answer the phone calmly, her voice was not so panicked: "My dear, go back to the mountain, don't come down, the county town is full of crazy people now!"
Zhao Yeqing was stunned. Thinking of the man with blood all over his mouth, his disordered thoughts seemed to be connected. He took out his phone and turned on the speaker. While comforting Feng Chunyan, he opened the hot search.
#Zombie Virus#
#The prophecy came true#
#Violent Bloodsuckers#
#Infected#
#The end of the world is coming#
#Is Huabei finished?
......
"Aunt, are you all right now? Are you safe?"
Feng Chunyan: "Don't worry about me. Your eldest cousin and his wife, your second cousin and his wife, and your nephew are all at home. The factory gate is closed, so it's very safe. Oh, I shouldn't have let you go back alone today! There are those things everywhere in the city now, they will eat anyone they catch, so don't go into the city!"
...
After Zhao Yeqing hung up the phone, she drove up the mountain. When she reached a small intersection, the car couldn't go in. She went back home, put the axe on her waist, rode the charged tricycle, unloaded all her things and took them home.
When I got home, I locked the gate, let out the chickens and geese, gave them some water and food, then went into the house, closed all the doors and windows, went up to the second floor, sat by the window, read the news, and kept an eye on the outside.
Logically, she should be safe, as she was the only one living in the family within a three-kilometer radius. As it was getting dark, she did not dare to turn on any more lights. She only turned on the small table lamp in the room, drew the blackout curtains, and lay in bed until she fell into a drowsy sleep in the late night.
The next morning, she woke up with a start. In her dream, the floor was covered with blood. She did not sleep well.
He rubbed his brows, sat up, opened his phone to read today's news, and the number one hot search became the official announcement.
'Yesterday, a vicious virus broke out across the country. The country has now effectively controlled it. Please don't panic, stay at home and wait for the local government to distribute supplies.'
Seeing that a short news platform was disconnected three times, it is estimated that the entire server has been overwhelmed. The bloody and horrifying pictures and videos are being spread throughout the platform. No place in the country, or even all over the world, is spared.
The longest and clearest video went viral among netizens, and IP addresses from all over the world could see it.
In the video, the streets are full of crazy people. Their eyes are red and you can occasionally hear some words from their mouths, some of which are vague and unclear. They don’t look like zombies in the movies, but more like ordinary people who have gone mad. Their attack method is without exception to grab a person and bite the carotid artery in the neck.
Zhao Yeqing still feels like he is in another world, everything happened too fast...
Everyone in my circle of friends was in a panic, asking what was going on.
Everyone stayed at home, no one dared to go out, and we stayed like that for two days.
Until the second official message was released...
