Chapter 422: Virus Outbreak Besieged 04
Normally, people want to sleep when they are full, but the original body of the customer has nothing to do with sleeping to survive hunger in addition to watching TV for two weeks without going out, so even if it is the middle of the night at the moment, Bai Lu is not sleepy.
Ms. Yang Lei's home network was completely cut off five days ago, and the TV signal came and went, so the large-screen TV was always on, watching when there was a picture, and being in a daze when there was not.
At 2 o'clock in the morning, a picture popped up on the TV screen in front of Bai Lu's eyes, it was Xia Ming Satellite TV.
"It's October 3, 2053, 2 a.m., the 14th day of the 'devouring' virus outbreak in the city. ”
"According to incomplete statistics and estimates, a total of 440,000 people in the city have been infected with the virus, 180,000 have died, and 90,000 people have been 'resurrected'. ”
"If you go out for unavoidable reasons, please be sure to take isolation precautions and never touch the body of the infected person or any dripping or contaminated liquid. ”
Bai Lu looked at the female anchor with blue and black bags under her eyes on the news channel, and thought to herself, it is not easy for media workers, and they are really responsible for sticking to their posts like this despite the virus being raging.
In fact, what she didn't know was that the traffic at the entrance of the TV station in Zhongxia District was paralyzed, and there were infected people wandering around, and the anchors who worked before did not dare to walk out of the door of the TV station at all.
"Regarding vaccines, the central news. Professor Zhong Yunsheng, head of China's Institute of Health, said that 18 volunteers have received the first batch of experimental vaccines to 'engulf' the virus. ”
"Chairman Yuan Moren, head of the Virus Expert Committee, said that the 'devouring' virus that is spreading in Xiaming City has proven to be very difficult to control, and the Virus Research Committee has not yet analyzed the mutation structure of the virus, so please be patient. ”
……
"The vaccine is still being tested, it's about my wool, be patient, wait for death!" Bai Lu wanted to smash the TV screen, what kind of news is this!
"What's 'proven to be uncontrollable'? It's ridiculous! So many people have died, and they have to issue such a painless report, the Waste Committee. ”
After Bai Lu finished complaining, he rolled twice on the sofa, if the country really wants to explicitly release "Give up the hard-hit areas." to protect the big picture". Intellectually speaking, it must be right, this is like a strong man breaking his wrist, and he has to do it as a last resort.
After all. From the macro perspective of the country and even the whole of mankind. It's not like saving Xia Ming City, which is already dead to only 1/10 of the population. It is more important for the country and the world to focus on how to prevent the virus from spreading out of Cha Minh Island, and to concentrate biomedical efforts on developing a vaccine that can prevent healthy people from contracting the virus.
As for the citizens who fell half-dead or about to be half-dead on Xiaming Island. All parties can only express their regret and condolences with deep sorrow.
Of course, these statements only exist in Bai Lu's mind, and for the time being, the central and other local news media are still showing an attitude of "concern and concern" and "hard work".
Bai Lu thinks that among all the TV stations, I am afraid that only his own Xia Ming Satellite TV is the most real empathy:
"It's October 3, 2053, 6 a.m., the 14th day of the 'devouring' virus outbreak in the city. ”
"Regarding the danger of the virus in our city, let's connect with reporters from various districts. ”
Camera cuts.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ding Guang, and now at the international airport in Nanming District, although there are more than 8,000 passengers stranded, the scene is quite orderly......
Camera cuts.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Xiaolu, now in the Zhongxia District Meteorological Tower, overlooking the Zhongxia District from here, except for the eastern coastal highway can barely be opened to traffic, the rest of the road has been paralyzed......"
Camera cuts.
"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Chun, behind is the Beiming Bridge auxiliary bridge ramp in Beiming District, through the lens we can see that the other end of the Beiming Bridge has built a 15-meter-high wall and set up barricades, but there are still many citizens trying to break through......"
The reporters in each district only spoke a few words, and the pictures broadcast at the same time were shaking, as if the photographer's hands were unstable, but fortunately, the broadcast pictures were not full of bloody scenes, otherwise it would be too scary.
Taking advantage of the slight morning light, Bai Lu stood by the window, lifted the curtains and looked out, the whole community was a strange peace, just like every morning when the sun just rose, but there were no Tai Chi old men in the open space, let alone square dancing aunts.
Then open the monitoring screen next to the door, which is used to check who the visitor who rang the doorbell downstairs is, but the picture is like a freeze frame, not moving at all.
According to the memory of the original body, the water for flushing the toilet comes from the desalination plant, while the other daily water comes from the freshwater reservoir inside Xiaming Island, and the water supply of the community where Yang Lei lives comes from the Crescent Reservoir in Beiming District.
She thought that since there was water, electricity, and enough food in her personal space to eat for a long time, she was in no hurry to run outside.
It's just that when Bai Lu turned on the faucet and poured water into the mouthwash cup, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, she vaguely felt that the water quality was a little strange, not that it smelled of bleaching powder, but it was a little fishy.
Could it be that the pipe is misconnected into seawater? Bai Lu did not dare to be careless.
She poured the water in the mouthwash cup into the small potted aloe vera that Ms. Yang Lei usually raised, and waited for about half an hour, the small potted plant was still safe and sound, Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was too sensitive.
"Boom~" There was a sound of an engine starting in the quiet community.
Someone going out?
Bai Lu hurriedly ran to the balcony to check, only to see several residents in the same community were loading luggage on the trunk of their private cars.
But don't let someone in the community get infected, or that's not good.
I have to mention that the community where Yang Lei lives is located in a relatively remote location in Beiming District, and the population of Xiaming City is not large, and the location of the community is relatively remote, so it is not strange that it can still be peaceful two weeks after the outbreak of the virus.
It's just that this calm may be difficult to maintain.
Bai Lu thought about the situation of the families who were preparing to travel outside, whether they had no food reserves, so they thought that instead of starving to death, it would be better to go out and take a risk? The family still had unfulfilled wishes, and they planned to fulfill them immediately? Or did they plan to try to break through the Beiming Bridge?
I didn't understand the situation of others, but Bai Lu's own situation immediately deteriorated, and as soon as she turned around, she saw that the originally full and turquoise aloe vera potted plant had become shriveled and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it had been instantly drained of vitality by some force.
Bai Lu unconsciously took two steps back, and after 30 seconds of brain crash, only a row of words remained after restarting: Tragedy, the drinking water in our community was contaminated by the virus......
