In the end, Li Ke managed to escape by starting a large fire. Afterwards, Li Ke thought about it for a long time and always felt that the situation was like someone was raising infected people in captivity.
But for a nobody like her, it was already a stroke of luck that she escaped without getting infected. Afterwards, Li Ke left that place and started making a living again. This past event was slowly buried in her heart, and she never mentioned it to anyone.
Of all the information she provided, all the details about the zombie virus that she knew had already been given out; beyond that, Li Ke couldn't offer much more help.
At that time, many people thought that the zombie virus was similar to a parasitic infection. Some bold people tried to dissect the bodies of infected people, but they found nothing.
However, these are all laymen, and the tools they use are very crude. If the parasite is very small, they may not be able to detect it under their conditions.
Li Ke and his team couldn't access the people who could conduct these studies. For example, Li Ke was told about the ability of lime to block infection by a passerby. But where did this information come from, and who spread it? Nobody knows. In any case, later on, anyone who wasn't living in seclusion probably knew a little bit about this information.
Since there are city shelters below, they should know the information in the doomsday prophecy. As long as the people here report the relevant situation and respond in time, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Li Ke turned around and went back up the mountain. The first thing he did when he got home was to change all his clothes and then burn them.
It was already past midnight, and Li Ke couldn't sleep. After washing up again and putting on full protective gear, she started working on the paving in her yard, since she still had some unmixed cement in her space.
From now on, Li Ke should try to make sure that every step she takes is on the concrete ground. Once infected with this virus, it is really too terrible. She will be neither human nor ghost, and it will be worse than death. Even someone as fearless as Li Ke does not want to endure it.
The next day at noon, Hu Chong was resting in the cave they had temporarily dug out. Although it was hot inside, it was still better than outside. He had worked hard all night and was sweating profusely, but he was still fast asleep.
He was only woken up when a subordinate rushed in and said, "Brother Hu, something bad has happened. More than a dozen patients have appeared at the construction site, just like last night. The doctors can't admit any more. Two of the nurses at the doctor's place have also fallen ill. This disease may be contagious. The doctor wants you to go and check on them right away. The situation is very serious."
Hu Chong was jolted awake. His heart was pounding so fast that he felt weak for a while. He wiped the sweat from his head and neck and said in a low voice, "What's all the fuss about? Seal off the news, gag all the patients and put them in isolation. I'll be there right away."
Upon hearing the order, his subordinates responded and immediately ran out. Hu Chong looked at the scorching sun outside, which seemed to be burning hot, and felt extremely irritated.
In this awful weather, you'll be drenched in sweat the moment you move. The temperature is highest at midday. Even if he went to check the situation, there's nothing he can do now. He has to wait until the sun goes down before he can send out the message.
When Hu Chong arrived at the clinic, the doctor was sitting there fanning himself irritably. When he saw Hu Chong come in, he immediately stood up and said, "I can't treat these patients here. The situation must be reported. Their condition is too strange."
Hu Chong snatched the fan from his hand, fanned himself vigorously a few times, and asked, "What's going on? How is it strange?"
"Come in with me and take a look." The doctor led Hu Chong into the cave, which was a temporary medical station built with a cave and an iron shed.
The cave was quite deep, with six iron sheds inside, which could be considered six rooms. The doctor led Hu Chong towards the innermost part.
Lifting the curtain, one could see that everyone inside was bound. Nearly twenty people were crammed into a small iron shed, each with a face contorted in agony. Some had already fainted from the pain, but their expressions remained tense.
"Three of these people fell ill last night. Of the remaining fifteen, thirteen were brought in later, and two are my staff members," the doctor said to Hu Chong from the doorway.
Hu Chong knew the situation was getting more and more serious, and he asked with a headache, "Do you have any clues? Are there any other cases that are similar to these cases?"
The doctor shook his head again: "Come with me and see the others."
Hu Chong followed the doctor to another iron shed. He also lifted the curtain and stood at the door. The male patients inside were only wearing shorts. Although they looked to be in pain, two of them had their mouths not gagged. They only made weak groans and did not continue to scream.
Hu Chong asked the doctor, "What's wrong with them?"
The doctor pointed to the spots on their bodies: "I suspect they have livor mortis. These spots have only appeared an hour ago and there aren't many of them. The patients' pain is gradually subsiding. In this situation, they must be sent out for further examination. Moreover, the number of patients is increasing, and this condition may be highly contagious. We must take immediate action."
Hu Chong sighed, thinking about the weather outside. "I'll take people for a check-up after the sun goes down. In this condition, the car will be totaled halfway there, and people won't be able to handle it."
After leaving the clinic, Hu Chong found someone and instructed them to spread the word that if anyone else fell ill, they should be immediately apprehended, locked up, and no one should be allowed to approach or come into contact with them.
After a period of agonizing waiting until sunset, Hu Chong led his men in two large trucks down the mountain. When they passed Qiufeng Town, he parked the trucks outside the town and let the others drive on ahead while he followed later.
