43 Ruined City-Day 12
Fungal pneumonia
Day 12 of the dilapidated city, the temperature is 30℃ and the humidity is 30%.
Yan Lan kept the wet and dryer running all night. She didn't feel anything indoors, but once she stepped onto the balcony, the situation was completely different.
The most exaggerated thing is the ruins of a building outside the highway. When the humidity was the heaviest, the outer walls of the buildings were covered with green moss and fungi of various colors. Now they have all turned yellow and dried up due to the high temperature.
The fruits and vegetables in the fast-growing pots drooped their heads listlessly, and the originally soft soil dried up into lumps, becoming as hard as solidified cement.
She frowned and walked to the other side to get water. Suddenly, she found that the water collector that could collect 1 ton of water a day now only had one-third of its original amount in the tank. This was probably because the water vapor in the air was too low, resulting in reduced production.
It took a bucket of water to finally let the fruits and vegetables regain some vitality.
She then picked a basket full of fruits and vegetables and returned indoors, sorting them while checking the messages.
As soon as I opened the game panel, the district chief selection competition window popped up automatically. The window was forced to hang and could not be closed. It seemed that it would remain hanging on the panel until the end of the competition.
She looked at the results of the competition and found that the first place had been taken by Sandmanfan, and she was already hundreds of votes behind him.
She was calm and composed, but she couldn't stand her companion's impatience.
When Shi Yuanyuan saw that his vote count was overtaken, he became extremely anxious and took his two friends, Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang, everywhere to find people to promote the campaign. He was even more active than the candidate Yan Lan herself.
As the weather gets drier, more and more people are asking about wet and dry machines.
Shi Yuanyuan seized the opportunity and solicited votes: "There's a limit on the number of wet and dry units available. Buyers must provide a screenshot of their voting results from the selection process."
The implication was particularly obvious, and some players were pushed to make a choice, and Yan Lan's votes rose accordingly.
Jin Buwei also followed suit, using the wet and dry all-in-one machine as bait to lure players to vote, but because his company produced inferior products, it was not attractive enough and only gained a few votes.
The gap with the first place is getting smaller and smaller. Shi Yuanyuan is very proud. As long as he maintains a stable growth situation, the position of district chief will be easy to get.
Just when he was feeling proud, Zhou Xingxing sent him a message. This guy was so weird and he had an impression of him.
"You're lying!"
Shi Yuanyuan was completely confused by this strange news again: "What's going on?"
Zhou Xingxing: "I checked the regional channel player by player based on the photo you gave me, and there's no such person at all! You just don't want me to get close to Yan Lan, and you want to enjoy her things alone. How selfish!"
Shi Yuanyuan:?
He scrolled through the chat history with a puzzled look on his face, and his memory began to return.
Last time, I sent him a photo of my cousin to convince him. It was just a way to deal with him, but I didn't expect that he would actually verify every player. There are more than 7,000 people in the group.
With this time and energy, there is nothing wrong with doing anything!
Shi Yuanyuan raised the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing a helpless expression: "I'm not lying, he's not from our district."
"Humph, I won't believe you again, liar!"
Zhou Xingxing has already determined that Shi Yuanyuan is deceiving him, and every word he says next is a lie.
Shi Yuanyuan replied in a rather cryptic manner, "I'm not kidding. They're from the H-39 area next door. They even had hotpot together last time. If you don't believe me, go find Yan Lan and verify it yourself."
Zhou Xingxing scoffed, "You knew Yan Lan didn't add me as a friend, but you still asked me to verify it. Are you trying to embarrass me?"
Shi Yuanyuan sighed, "Then go find Luo Wen or Yuan Zhou. They were both there last time. But I still advise you to give up on this idea. From what I know about Yan Lan, she really doesn't like a gigolo like you who only relies on women."
Zhou Xingxing did not question the title of "pretty boy", but only questioned Shi Yuanyuan's statement that Yan Lan did not like him.
He's so handsome, how could she not like him! Before the game, his appearance was the most popular among rich women!
Thinking a bit too far, he forced his rationality back and looked at the game panel again: "I will verify it. As for whether she likes it or not, that is none of your business."
When he finally left, he snarled, "And what else, you wait for me!"
Shi Yuanyuan sighed and decided to put aside his helpful heart. He must have been out of his mind to agree to his friend request last time.
Yan Lan obtained a new batch of supplies from selling the wet and dry machine, and her mid-range RV has reached the upgrade standard.
[Whether to upgrade it by consuming Glass × 5000, Metal × 5000, Rubber × 5000, and Electronic Components × 2000.]
After she clicked confirm, most of the grid in her backpack was instantly empty, and the medium-sized RV that had accompanied her for nearly 20 days transformed and appeared in front of her with a brand new look.
[Congratulations on your successful upgrade to Large RV Level 6, please check~]
The luxury RV has two floors, each with an area of 30 square meters. The first floor is a living room for receiving guests and dining, and the second floor is the bedroom.
Originally, rest and dining were done on the sofa, but now it has been divided into sections. On one side, a large table for 6 is placed next to the open kitchen, and on the other side is a comfortable soft leather sofa with its own coffee table.
The upgraded RV is much more spacious, and you won’t feel crowded even if snowballs fly around inside. It can also accommodate a few more guests.
This time, she was not informed of the material requirements for the next level. She guessed that the large RV should be the top level, and upgrading materials would not be a necessity for her in the future.
Now the RV is big enough for her and Snowball to live in. It is a good thing for her that she does not need to continue collecting upgrade materials, but there is also a huge disadvantage.
That is the metal fragment that has been treasured!
Now she has one piece in her hand, Ji Zhou has one piece, and the function of the metal fragments needs to be synthesized into five pieces to be known.
It is currently known that metal fragments can only be obtained through game rewards for the first upgrade.
Those who can get first place will not lack supplies. They have tried to buy them at high prices on the world channel, but no one paid any attention.
Unable to upgrade further, she didn't know where else to get it.
Unable to come up with any good solution, she simply collected the metal fragments and went to look for the treasure chest.
In the evening, a gust of wind blew inexplicably on the road, and a faint smell was mixed in the air, which everyone inhaled without knowing it.
The strong wind continued all night and did not stop until 8 o'clock the next morning. The air humidity that day was 25%.
Wang Da was the first to show symptoms of infection because he was weak and had low immunity.
He only had a slight dry throat last night, but started coughing continuously early this morning. He thought he had caught a cold, so he made a packet of cold medicine and drank it.
As a result, the symptoms became more and more serious. He began to have headaches and fever, and later he felt chest tightness and coughed up blood.
Seeing the bright red pool of blood on the handkerchief, he almost fainted and quickly contacted Luo Wen, the doctor who had treated him last time.
Luo Wen's profession dropped a lot of medicines in the past two days, and there happened to be relevant treatment drugs. After Wang Da took the medicine, his hemoptysis symptoms improved slightly.
However, this one case was just the beginning, with more and more players experiencing similar symptoms.
"I feel dizzy and short of breath. What's wrong?"
"Me too. My whole body aches like I've been run over by a car. Do you think I have some serious illness?"
"I started to have a fever in the middle of the night, and even ice cubes wouldn't bring it down. Now I'm coughing non-stop, and my lungs are about to burst."
"I had a huge rash on my body, and it itched like hell."
"The symptoms are a bit like the flu, but the weather has improved. It's strange that so many patients have suddenly appeared."
"Please, professionals, please come out and give me some advice. I'm in such a state of distress."
Luo Wen appeared as everyone expected. "The ruined buildings outside the highway were previously covered in fungus and mold. The recent dry weather, coupled with yesterday's strong winds, has spread all kinds of tiny spores everywhere. I suspect it's fungal pneumonia caused by inhaling the spores."
"It's actually pneumonia! Fungal pneumonia, how scary!"
"How disgusting! I actually have those disgusting spores in my stomach. I hope they won't grow into mycelium."
Luo Wen: "Don't worry, our team has recently stockpiled this kind of medicine. If anyone is sick, you can come to me for treatment. It's just..."
"Just what? Doctor Luo, hurry up and tell me. This is a matter of life and death, don't get stuck."
Shi Yuanyuan showed up at the right moment to cooperate: "It's just that we belong to Yan Lan's team, and these drugs were prepared in advance by her because she anticipated the danger. If you want to buy the drugs, you have to show some sincerity!"
Players are already very familiar with his campaign slogans.
"Uh, don't divide us into camps. Doctor Luo rarely speaks, so how come he's on your team?"
"I am." Luo Wen shut the player's mouth with one sentence.
Jiang Tiantian saw that something was wrong and immediately spoke up from the group chat, "Even if Luo Wen is on your team, you might not be able to come up with so many medicines. There are nearly a thousand people suffering from the disease. Everyone knows that a profession can only drop one medicine a day!"
Medicinal materials require raw materials, but where does Yan Lan get so many production materials?
"That's right, you're not going to break a pill into pieces and sell it to us, are you?"
Without waiting for the player to continue arguing, Shi Yuanyuan took a photo and sent it to the group: "This is just a part of it. Luo Wen and Yan Lan have another batch. These should be enough."
Yan Lan has the skill of magnification. In the past two days, she has magnified the medicine several times and then divided it into normal size. What the players see is the sorted medicine.
This is life-saving medicine. The players in the group shut up after seeing the pile of medicines that Shi Yuanyuan sent out.
Shi Yuanyuan reminded again, seemingly on purpose: "There aren't many drugs left. Let's leave them to the players who support us. The others can just bear with it for now."
The group was quiet for a second and then exploded.
"It's just a vote. It doesn't matter who you vote for. I feel so miserable right now. I need to go get some medicine."
"Yeah, he's just a district chief, you can't let me cough to death."
"And I think Yan Lan is a good district chief. She's kind and nice, and doesn't discriminate against the weak. Players with low strength also have a way to survive."
"That's right, I support it with one vote."
In this way, Yan Lan's votes once again surpassed Sha Renfan to become the first in the competition, and the competition entered a white-hot stage.
Meanwhile, Li Zhiyong, who was closely monitoring the voting process, quickly reported the news: "Brother Sha, this is bad!"
Sandman Fan had been in high spirits recently because he had always been better than Yan Lan. However, when he saw what Li Zhiyong was doing, his face suddenly darkened: "What's the big deal?"
Even with a game panel between them, Li Zhiyong broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly explained, "The player got pneumonia, and Yan Lan sold medicine to save his life. They all voted for her."
I thought Sandman would be furious, but unexpectedly he comforted him: "Don't worry."
"ah?"
Sandman Fan: "Don't worry, if they dare to surrender, I will kill them."
