Chapter 421: Virus Outbreak Besieged 03
Bai Lu checked the food reserves of the client, Ms. Yang Lei, and the situation was very bad due to the fact that she could only enter and leave for several days.
Recalling that on September 25th, the company gave a temporary notice to have a holiday, so after Yang Lei went home on Thursday afternoon, she simply packed up her change of clothes and prepared to take the high-speed rail back to her hometown in Jianghuai early tomorrow Friday morning for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but what is more tragic is that all the trains shown on the official website of the railway to Jianghuai have no tickets, and it didn't take long for the official website to not even check the relevant flights of Xiaming City Railway Station.
That night, the news of the central and local stations reported at the same time: "All flights at Xiaming International Airport, high-speed rail, light rail, and EMUs at the railway station are all temporarily suspended; at the same time, the Beiming Bridge, Zhongxia Undersea Tunnel, and Nanming Bridge on the highway are also restricted, and all primary and secondary schools in the city will be suspended for holidays, and I hope that citizens and friends will try to go out as much as possible!"
As a result, Ms. Yang Lei has never been out since returning home on the afternoon of September 25.
Even though he didn't go out, he didn't know anything about the outside world.
The local station in Xiaming City is reporting on the city's epidemic situation all the time, and there are also an overwhelming number of relevant texts, pictures and videos on the Internet.
Ms. Yang Lei's first day at home was the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was a unified holiday across the country, and other TV channels were also broadcasting custom variety shows about the "Mid-Autumn Festival", Mid-Autumn Festival special programs, etc., but Xia Ming Satellite TV only had content about the epidemic.
According to television reports, September 26, exactly one week before the death of the first infected person, ended at 8 a.m. on that day. The city of Xiaming has already lost 135 people to the epidemic.
By 2 p.m., the death toll in Chaming City had climbed to 1,103!
Such a growth rate scares everyone!
After all, when the situation first appeared, most people did not pay attention to it, and when they really paid attention to it after two or three days, the situation was already a little uncontrollable, and by six or seven days later, when the people of the whole country were fully concerned, the virus had already spread out of control for a long time.
Because the number of infected people in Xiaming City has increased exponentially, and the source of the disease is unknown. It was decided after an urgent study by the central authorities and the committee of experts on the virus. In order to prevent the spread of the virus to the whole country and cause a larger-scale disaster, it can only be announced with great sadness: the transportation routes from Xiaming City to the outside world will be completely blocked!
In other words, a week after the outbreak of the devouring virus, Xia Ming City was completely isolated from the outside. And its interior has entered a period of virus rage.
this day. Ms. Yang Lei had a video call with her parents. With the urgent care of her loved ones, she promised that she would take care of herself and wait for this epidemic to pass. resigned and left Xiaming City, returned to work in Jianghuai, and no longer made his parents so worried.
Ms. Yang Lei's second day at home was Saturday, and it rained heavily all day yesterday in the city, and the rain is still heavy today.
Turning on the TV, CCTV news channel reported that due to the extremely contagious nature of the virus spreading in Xiaming City, international experts have tentatively set its world biosecurity level at level 5, and the state has to dispatch armed police anti-riot forces to control traffic arteries by force, but the decision has been opposed by democratic parties and a large number of people.
Changed to Xia Ming Satellite TV, the news strip scrolling at the bottom of the screen read: As of 7 a.m. on September 27, about 50,000 people in our city have been infected with unknown viruses, and the death toll has risen to 4,000.
After two hours, the rolling news numbers rose again: according to incomplete statistics, as of 9 a.m., about 80,000 people in the city had been infected with the unknown virus, and the death toll had risen to 6,500.
By 12 noon, the numbers were horrific: it was estimated that about 200,000 people in the city had been infected with the unknown virus, and the death toll had risen to more than 30,000.
……
"The total population of Xiaming City is just over 500,000, and in just one week, 200,000 people have been infected......?"
The parents of the Yang family didn't know what to say, they regretted why they supported their daughter to work in Xiaming City back then, if they had left their daughter in Jianghuai, they would not have fallen into the terrible situation now.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, although the news is terrible, the situation may not be so serious. Yang Lei suppressed her fear of being in the virus-stricken area and tried her best to comfort her worried parents.
"How can it not be serious, the satellite pictures on TV and the Internet...... Whining... How can this be......"
Yang Lei was silent, because her mother was crying about an indisputable fact.
The parents originally refused to hang up the video call, they couldn't wait to keep an eye on their eldest daughter all the time, for fear that the next time they contacted again, they would already be separated from each other.
But on this day, I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain, the signal is very bad, and I didn't talk to my home for long, the picture was interrupted, and the network lost the signal. Because the network is not working, Yang Lei changed to a traditional phone, but the signal grid of the mobile phone is only half, and she can't dial it all the time.
In this way, only the TV is the only tool left to understand the outside world.
In the next few days, the number of infections and deaths in Xiaming City continued to rise, and the numbers were still scary, but the frequency of growth was not as fast as it was at the beginning, because everyone hid at home and resolutely did not go out, to some extent, reducing the chance of being infected.
The network signal comes and goes, so the Yang family almost stays by the phone and waits for the eldest daughter's call, but unfortunately the number of rings is getting less and less, which makes people worry all the time.
By the time Bai Lu entered on October 3, most places were holding the National Day Golden Week, and Xiaming City, where the virus had been raging for two whole weeks, was basically a chaotic pot of porridge, and this porridge was still highly toxic.
Bai Lu sat slumped on the sofa, should she be glad that Ms. Yang Lei had not been starved to death after being unprepared, closed for less than half a month?
After all, in 2053, when logistics are extremely developed, people pay more attention to the freshness of ingredients, so few people will store food at home for more than a week.
In other words, although Yang Lei is still alive normally, she is already hungry with her chest and back. Therefore, after Bai Lu determined the safety of the environment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was - eat!
There is no way, although Bai Lu at this time is a spiritual body, but after fitting with the customer's original body, the five senses are automatically connected, and the feeling of the customer's body is her own feeling.
At this time, I had to emphasize the important position of the portable space, Bai Lu took out the delicious dishes made by the chef in the restaurant from the space, and after three dishes and one soup were sacrificed to the five internal organs, he finally eased up-
