Chapter 66: Clues to the “Cold Wave Virus”



After Lu Qin's aunt was taken to the detention center, she went to question her several times.

Not surprisingly, they all ended in failure.

Either I got scolded or I had to watch my aunt crying and throwing a tantrum.

They were unable to find out any details about their great uncle Lu Fenghua. Whenever Lu Fenghua was mentioned, most of them would start crying and making a fuss, cursing him as a heartless man, etc.

Helplessly, Lu Qin could only turn her attention to Lu Qi and her younger cousin Lu Fangan.

But these two are even less reliable.

Lu Qi just didn't want to visit his mother anymore and said bluntly that he had nothing to do with her anymore. But Lu Fangan, the naughty kid, was even more outrageous. He took advantage of the fact that he was still a child and cried and made a fuss, asking for this and that.

This time the detention center was going to detain her aunt and her son for a long time, so they had to provide food to these prisoners to ensure their daily life.

But supplies are in short supply, and this is not a place where you can get free food and drinks.

Therefore, the prisoners had to get up before dawn every day to work, mainly dealing with various types of garbage.

Useful waste is reclassified and processed, biological waste is sent to the biogas digester, and the rest that can be used is used, and those that cannot are destroyed.

It was a tough job, but no one complained.

If they don't work, they won't have food to eat, and they won't even be given water to drink. If things get worse, there are all kinds of methods waiting for them.

Anyway, none of the prisoners sent here dared not to work, even the little brat Lu Fangan was no exception.

In terms of age, he is indeed in his teens and is tall and strong. In this special period, he is also considered a laborer and of course he has to work.

Therefore, the plan to get some information about Lu Fenghua through people like Aunt Lu Qin has failed.

But it’s okay. Being able to take this opportunity to keep them under custody is not completely a waste.

As for Lu Qi...

In the end, she couldn't escape the fate of being controlled by Liu Zifeng and had to "marry" him obediently.

It's strange to say, Liu Zifeng even held a wedding for Lu Qi and sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends in a grand manner.

He also distributed wedding candies to the neighbors and people in the disaster relief office, as if he wanted to tell the world about it.

As the "sister-in-law", Lu Qin was also invited to attend the wedding with her mother.

Liang Shuyu's first reaction when he saw it was not to go.

As her mother said: shameful.

Even if a good girl is dumped by Xiao Xu, she can't be someone's "third wife"!

The key point is that Liu Zifeng was very much convinced by this, and talked about things like "rejuvenation". On the wedding day, he even called out his original wife and the pregnant mistress, and asked Lu Qi to serve tea to them.

Although the latest rules do not include provisions regarding divorcing and remarrying, Liu Zifeng's behavior still makes people unable to help but talk about it.

This is really surprising.

Qu Dongbo also knew that such a high-profile and unusual wedding was held in Jinxiu Community.

But this phenomenon is too common nowadays, and society seems to have regressed a hundred years. Families with money and food can marry an extra concubine, but the poor still cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes.

But this phenomenon cannot be completely stopped. Even if there are explicit regulations, many girls will inevitably degenerate and rely on men for a living. The only difference is whether it happens in public or in private.

The only solution now is to suppress this trend.

Knowing Qu Dongbo's dilemma, Lu Qin thought about it carefully and decided to go to Liu's house to "visit" Lu Qi as his cousin a few days after Liu Zifeng's wedding.

The Liu family was indeed a wealthy family before the apocalypse, their home was magnificent. Because they were engaged in trade, they had an entire warehouse of goods that could not be shipped out, and now all of them were saved by the Liu family.

When the Self-Help Society came, Liu Zifeng was cautious and did not disclose the supplies in the warehouse at home. Now, all the supplies he took out were valuable.

Fortunately, it was not food like rice or flour, otherwise, with Qu Dongbo's personality, he would never allow someone to hoard so much food.

"Hey, Miss Lu is here. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience." Liu Zifeng was very happy to see Lu Qin. "I didn't treat her well at the wedding. Forgive my ignorance. Miss Lu turned out to be the fiancée of our Antu County Captain Qu. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."

Liu Zifeng had a fawning look on his face, praising Lu Qin like he was free, and even seemed a little smug: "So, if the situation is like this, I am also Captain Qu's brother-in-law. I really don't deserve it."

Seeing him like this, Lu Qin knew that he was very proud of this identity, and couldn't help but frowned: "Boss Liu, Captain Qu doesn't like people to be related to him. I came here this time just to visit her as Lu Qi's sister."

"Well, that's fine. I'm not such a tactless person. This was just a joke. I certainly wouldn't dare go out and discredit Captain Qu." Liu Zifeng changed the subject and sighed, "What a pity... Xiaoqi might have had a fever from working so hard these past two days."

Lu Qin looked around and indeed did not see Lu Qi.

But Liu Zifeng's other two "wives" were there. One of them was the young woman who had called 120 and rushed to the hospital when she saw her stomach bleeding.

At this moment, she was pregnant, her face full of maternal radiance. Meanwhile, her ex-wife, who had once beaten her mercilessly, was gazing lovingly at her belly. With Liu Zifeng sitting calmly between them, the family looked quite harmonious.

Lu Qin could only sigh in his heart about his weird family.

But Lu Qin did not expect Lu Qi to fall ill.

Although she also used Lu Qi as an excuse to come and "criticize" the Liu family for their high-profile behavior, she still decided to go and see Lu Qi because he was sick.

"Oh? How come that's the case? What's going on?" Lu Qin asked casually.

Liu Zifeng seemed quite concerned and distressed. It was obvious that he truly loved Lu Qi, although no one knew why Lu Qi attracted Liu Zifeng.

"I don't know either. I've called a doctor for Xiaoqi." Liu Zifeng was quite distressed. "Xiaoqi just kept complaining about feeling weak and dizzy. She also couldn't eat and vomited everything she ate."

The "first wife" on the side muttered and interrupted: "It's not like she won't eat anything!"

Liu Zifeng frowned and scolded: "Stop talking!"

The "first wife" immediately fell silent.

Lu Qin was thinking, dizziness and vomiting?

It's not that she's overly concerned, it's just that she's too familiar with this symptom.

I asked, “What did the doctor say?”

"I thought Xiaoqi was pregnant and was happy for a few days, but the doctor said she wasn't and couldn't find anything wrong. She just kept feeling dizzy and wanted to vomit." Liu Zifeng sighed with regret. "The doctor couldn't do anything. I asked someone to ask the doctor at the rescue center to order a large brain CT scan. We have to get a clear picture."

Due to limited energy resources, hospitals today don't readily use such large equipment. They are usually only used occasionally when energy is exchanged for it.

Liu Zifeng was rich, so he hired a doctor to do this examination.

When Lu Qin heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

"How many days has this been going on?"

"Yeah, I've been feeling dizzy for a few days now, but Xiaoqi said it's been more severe these past two days."

Lu Qin immediately said, "Take me to see it."

She wasn't imagining things.

Dizziness, vomiting, and no specific cause can be found.

Just these three things would be classified as "cold wave virus" infection three years after the end of the world in the previous life.

This virus is truly uncontrollable. Once you are infected, death is only a matter of time.

Last time, some researchers also suggested that the "cold wave virus" had actually begun to spread and lurk in the early days of the apocalypse, but no one paid much attention to it at the time and selectively ignored it.

Lu Qin vaguely felt that this matter was not very good.
