After rushing to start the show in the afternoon, Luo Bo returned to normal. He just went shopping much faster, buying everything from rice, flour, grains, oil, snacks, and freeze-dried vegetables.
I also bought disinfectant and a lot of Lianhua Qingwen, etc. I bought everything I could think of.
"Xiao Luo? Why are there so many things in the kitchen?" the aunt who was cooking asked in confusion.
Luo Bo evaded the question, "It's almost the end of the year, so let's buy some New Year's goods."
The cook may not know that there are still several tons of food in the warehouse. As a first-tier city, Shanghai has been tightly closed for three years due to the epidemic.
If I don't buy more of this stuff now, won't I starve to death later? My mind couldn't help but think of the scandal that broke out in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Although I don't know if there are such people here, I can't pin my hopes on others.
The live broadcast audience was also very curious:
"Preparing New Year's goods so early? Mule, you are quite clever."
"Shanghai is an international metropolis. They'll probably be open for business during the New Year. Why buy so much? If they run out, just buy more."
"The mule is celebrating the New Year early, right? Hibernating and fattening up?"
…
Luo Bo looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and said: "Ahem, it's the custom in my hometown. I'm used to it, I'm used to it."
"Rumor has it, Mule's studio is starting its annual holiday today."
"Really? Damn, I regret not going."
"Mule, you're still short of people, I can help guard the gate. [Funny]"
"Damn it! Our company doesn't have a holiday until the 29th. The boss is having a fucking crappy annual party."
"I'm even worse off than you. I have to work during the New Year..."
…
Luo Bo's mouth twitched as he said, "You guys are more informed than I am, right? Is there an undercover agent from my company?"
After some banter, everyone's attention shifted to the company's treatment. A group of people also complained about their respective companies' outrageous operations, while a group of college students were just watching the fun.
Time passed day by day. Since Mi Xian was the second in command, he did not go home for the New Year. Instead, he brought his wife and children to celebrate the New Year with him.
Mi Xian’s hometown is in northern Jiangsu, not far from here, so I just brought it here and treated it as a trip.
Since everyone else had gone back, the house rented by Luo Bo became vacant, so Mi Xian and her family moved in temporarily.
The little girl is only 3 years old this year, so she doesn't have to go to school yet. Mi Xian and her family are temporarily staying on the second floor. Luo Bo is busy supervising the progress of the PV during the day, and he will live broadcast for a while in the evening. He stays at home the whole time.
The cooking is still done by an auntie who is from a nearby village and does not live in the house. Luo Bo cannot help but consider hiring a full-time chef.
If there's a complete lockdown later, I'll be doomed. I could cook by myself, but with so many people in the house, I don't know who to turn to.
I thought about asking Mixian to help find one. After hearing this, Mixian agreed and then took Luo Bo to start making plans for the coming year.
Luo Bo didn't say much, just listened to him quietly, said he would think about it, and left the table.
Huang's card pool has been open for a few days now, and this operator is a boon for AFK players. Furthermore, the half-health lock is a relatively useful passive, so many people still tried it.
When someone asked Luo Bo for his pick recommendations, Luo Bo replied: "New operators are mainly for daily use and elimination. Like contracts, they probably won't be used. After all, they don't have burst or special control. Their health lock is also a one-time use, not as good as Ghost Shark's."
Time passed by, and danger gradually brewed among the crowd.
As news reports began to occasionally break about the rapidly deadly pneumonia in Jiangcheng, entry and exit restrictions were finally put in place on January 13th, and a nationwide investigation began.
The atmosphere in the whole country quickly became solemn. Luo Bo asked in advance whether each employee had arrived home on time. After all, he was worried that they might stop along the way to travel.
Fortunately, no one went there to play halfway, so everyone should be safe.
Eagle Foot also sent a formal letter asking whether the PV could be delivered on time, and Luo Bo directly replied that there was no problem.
As time goes by, the situation becomes more serious. In a few days, on the 20th, Jiangcheng will start to lock down the city, and panic will spread across the country.
At present, the whole society has begun to search people traveling to and passing through Jiangcheng. With the cooperation of police and the public, a large number of people were registered immediately.
As a large city with a long history, it is located at the confluence of two rivers, connecting the central and southern parts of the country. It is also an important red revolutionary town. It can be said that every person who goes out will pass by this place.
When the situation becomes serious, the whole country will be locked down.
From the closure of rural roads to checkpoints on urban roads, the entire country suddenly fell silent.
The full-time chef that Luo Bo had previously proposed to find was not found, and now the city has begun to restrict the movement of people. It seems that Luo Bo himself cannot go in and out freely.
Shanghai is also a city with a large population, and many people passing through Jiangcheng were also checked in the surrounding areas. In desperation, he had to ask Mixian's wife to help cook for a while.
In the evening, Su Ying called. After Luo Bo picked up the phone and asked some questions, there was no response from the other end for a long time.
But Luo Bo heard the sound of breathing and knew that Su Ying was on the other end of the phone, quietly waiting for her to speak.
"Luo Bo, did you know this a long time ago?" Su Ying asked with a hint of uncertainty and fear of the unknown.
Luo Bo also fell silent. He had been too concerned and had exposed his flaws. Now he didn't know how to cover it up.
"I noticed something amiss from some unpopular news, so...it's not really a foreknowledge."
After hearing this, Su Ying forced herself to believe it, even though her intuition told her it was a lie. Everyone has their own secrets, and she understood the pain of keeping them secret, so she didn't say anything.
"I really want to see you."
"No, don't do anything stupid. It's so dangerous outside now, you may not even be able to get out the door." Luo Bo hurriedly advised.
"My parents are back. They had been abroad before." Su Ying whispered.
Luo Bo was a little surprised. Under such circumstances, anyone who could still return to China must be someone with some power. Didn't you realize she was a small wealthy woman?
"Then you are not at grandma's house anymore?" Luo Bo knew that the old community was where her grandparents lived.
"Yeah. I'm in another home now, so far away from you."
When the location was sent, Luo Bo stared at it with his eyes wide open. One was north, the other was south. It would take almost an hour to drive there.
Luo Bo couldn't help but comfort her: "This virus is very powerful. You must not go out and run around. It seems that there is no effective medicine or vaccine yet. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital immediately."
"Yeah. Okay."
After saying good night to each other, they hung up the phone at the same time.
