Chapter 113: The Plague

readx;

Officials only announced the emergence of a new infectious disease in Tongcheng, the pathological characteristics of the disease, but did not announce the number of deaths. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoLast night, not only dozens of people died in the people's hospital, but also a lot in several other county public hospitals, and some people who did not choose to seek medical treatment also died, as of last night, the preliminary statistics of the death toll reached more than 120 people. By the time the outbreak was announced, the death toll had reached more than 300.

The arrival of the expert group did not effectively curb the deterioration of the patient's condition, and some of the patients who were injected with special drugs did not get any better, and even the condition continued to deteriorate, and the number of dead people was still multiplying.

In the afternoon, after Xiao Nan's relatives saw the official information, they learned from Xiao Nan that dozens of people died in the People's Hospital alone last night. Some of the sick relatives followed Xiao Nan's advice and planned to go to the county hospital for a good examination to determine whether they had a common cold or an infectious disease. After hearing that so many people had died, some patients beat a drum in their hearts and decided to wait and see what was going on.

After the relatives left one after another, Xiao Nan instructed the family to disinfect all the things that should be disinfected at home, and bought a large amount of food and water to hoard at home. Although the government promised to ensure the supply of materials, Xiao Nan still felt uneasy, and would rather spend a high price to reserve more materials now.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Xiao Nan. Although the government has put in place strong control, there are still areas beyond the reach of the whip.

After all, panic spreads faster than a virus.

Xiao Nan has a restaurant at home, and usually prepares a lot of dry food, a few years ago, Xiao's father also bought two big fat pigs at a relative's house in the countryside, made some cured meat, and froze some fresh meat in the refrigerator, just these two fat pigs, enough for their family to eat for a long time. But driven by panic, Xiao Nan's family still snapped up some things.

The things that should be prepared were almost ready, Xiao Nan couldn't worry about her boyfriend, so she said to her parents: "Parents, I want to go to Sun Lang's house to see." ā€

Xiao's mother refused: "No, Nan Nan, it's so chaotic outside now, it's getting dark, you can't go." What if something happens to you, what do you do with Mom? ā€

"But, Mom, I don't feel at ease if I don't go to see him." Quarrels are quarrels, Xiao Nan still loves Sun Lang very much in his heart.

"You're a girl, if you want to see it, he should come to see you!" Father Xiao frowned.

Xiao Nan didn't dare to tell her family that Sun Lang was probably infected with an infectious disease, and if she did, her parents would definitely not let her go. Xiao Nan grinded with his parents for a long time, and in the end, he finally persuaded his parents. Xiao Ke intuitively felt that his sister must be hiding something, and she wanted to go together. Although Xiao Ke is a few years younger than Xiao Nan, his physique follows Xiao's father, and he is almost 1.8 meters old when he is only in his second year of high school, and he is also big, he helps in the back kitchen all the year round, and he is a little black by the smoke, he walked out with Xiao Nan, if he doesn't say it, everyone will think that he is older than Xiao Nan.

Xiao's father and mother really had no choice but to compromise in the end.

"If there's anything wrong on the way, you're going to come back right away, you know?" Xiao's mother was worried.

"Mom, you can rest assured that you will hand over your sister to me, I promise to bring my sister back to you, and there will be no hair less! If you don't believe me, you can count first. ā€

"You have to be careful when you count your head."

"Got it, got it, Mom, don't be verbose, let's go." Xiao Ke sat in the co-pilot and waved to his mother.

Xiao Nan stepped on the accelerator, and the domestic pickup truck quickly disappeared at the end of the street in the town.

Xiao Nan got his driver's license when he was in college, and after returning to Tongcheng to work, he often drove to the farmers' market to help his family buy goods during his vacation, and he was skilled in driving. Xiao Nan had never been to Anxi Village, but she had a high school classmate's home in a village near Anxi Village, and she had been to her house several times before and knew the route. Sun Lang once told her that along the village road, go straight, and there is a fork in the road to turn left, which is Anxi Village.

The night is getting darker, and it is foggy in the cold winter.

Xiao Nan hadn't been to that classmate's house for several years, and the scene along the way was very different from what he remembered, coupled with the interference of dense fog, several times, Xiao Nan almost got lost.

"Sister, why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow."

The village road is narrow, and the surroundings are dark and silent, Xiao Nan's heart is furious, and she is also a little retreated, just at this moment, she saw several old houses, "I've been here, that's right, look there, there is a small road over there, and from that road it should be the village road to Anxi Village." ā€

Sure enough, after Xiao Nan drove the car onto that road, he saw a simple road sign, which was the village road to Anxi Village.

"It's too foggy, Ke, you can help me keep an eye on the fork in the left turn."

"Wrap it up on me!" Xiao Ke deliberately got down from the passenger seat and sat behind Xiao Nan.

The fog outside the window was so thick that Xiao Ke stuck his head out of the window and kept shining with a flashlight, but he still couldn't see anything. The journey to the unknown is always extraordinarily long, and slowly, both siblings become agitated. Before you know it, the pickup truck is moving a lot faster.

The fog is getting thicker and thicker.

A pale face suddenly appeared in the dense fog, and it was too late for Xiao Nan to step on the brakes.

'Bang-'

The car hit head-on, Xiao Nan was so frightened that her legs were weak, but Xiao Ke was calmer than her, and quickly got out of the car to check. Xiao Nan got out of the car one step later, she came to the car with a soft pair of feet, but there were no injured people in front of the car, let alone the corpse she thought of in an instant, and there was no blood on the car.

"Why, how so? I obviously bumped into it just now, what about the people, where did the people go? Xiao Nan checked all around the car, but didn't see any traces, as if everything was her hallucination just now.

It was empty all around, and the cold wind blew from all directions, and Xiao Nan and Xiao Ke shivered at the same time.

"Sister, do you think we're going to encounter something unclean?" Instead of being afraid, Xiao Ke's eyes flashed with a strange look. Ahem, as a horror movie enthusiast, Shoko has actually always fantasized about one day experiencing a supernatural event.

Xiao Nan has always been insensitive to things like horror films, and she believes in science more than ghosts.

But what they have just experienced, can it really be explained by science? It is impossible for her and Shawco to both have the same hallucinations at the same time, right? Could it be that there is some kind of hallucinogenic substance in the fog?

Xiao Nan tried her best to use the science she knew to explain everything that was unscientific in front of her, but Xiao Ke said to herself excitedly: "I'll just say that the fog just now is not normal." He took a flashlight, walked around the car, turned to the back of the car, and suddenly exclaimed, "Sister, sister, the road is gone!" ā€

The concrete road they had just driven turned into a dark and boundless swamp, Shoko picked up a branch, tried to insert it into it, and a strong pull came from under the mud, almost pulling him into the swamp, so frightened that he quickly threw away the branch and took a big step back. At this time, Xiao Ke was horrified to find that the endless swamp was engulfing the concrete floor beneath his feet.

According to the law of horror films......

"Sister, drive quickly, we must get out of here as soon as possible!" Shoko exclaimed.

Needless to say, Xiao Nan also knew, but there was no way back, so he could only drive forward. And at this time, the pickup truck turned out not to catch fire anyway.

Click, click, click......

The sound of the concrete road engulfed by the swamp was getting closer and closer, and Xiao Nan and his brother even felt the rear wheels of the car sinking down.

"Sister, don't start the fire, let's get out of the car and run, otherwise it's too late!" After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he jumped out of the car first.

Xiao Nan twisted the key a few times, but the engine didn't even make a sound, and finally she had to give up, grabbed her backpack and jumped out of the car, and followed Xiao Ke into the dense fog where she couldn't see her fingers. In the dense fog, several huge, bloody, and distorted ghost shadows were tightly attached behind the sisters and brothers, and the slender mouthparts slammed into the back of the sisters and brothers' heads.

After a moment, the misty ghost seemed to stare at for a moment.

The sisters and brothers ran desperately, and they didn't know how long they ran, but they finally saw a stone tablet broken in two, and together they were three blood-red characters: Lijia Village.

"There's a village ahead, let's go and have a look!" Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ke frowned instead, according to the law of horror movies, the village that suddenly appeared was definitely not a good place to go.

"Sister, what we encountered tonight is too weird, and this Lijia Village may also be weird. In this way, let's go in quietly, don't alarm the villagers inside, we tie our hands together, no matter what happens, don't get separated. ā€

After Xiao Nan nodded, Xiao Ke took out a hemp rope from his bag, carefully tied his sister's hand to himself, and the sister and brother plunged into the thick black mist.

"Winter, winter, winter cub, the evil atmosphere here is too strong, and there are a lot of plague ghosts, I, let's go back, meow." Ah Huang stuffed himself into Dongsheng's clothes, and the fat claws firmly grasped Dongsheng's clothes, still too scared.

There was a dead silence in Lijia Village, and Ah Huang's meow heard far away, passing through the gloomy aura that was about to condense into substance, and its voice sounded extremely gloomy and poignant, like a ghost cry.

Xiao Nan heard the terrible 'ghost scream', his legs were weak in fright, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground, as bold as Xiao Ke, and he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. But now they have no way out, so they can only move forward.

Dong Sheng didn't pay attention to Ah Huang at all, and the thick and dark yin qi seriously interfered with his vision, but fortunately, with Zheng Yunyao with him, those yin and evil qi touched the golden luck on his body, just like a snow petal touched a fire, and quickly melted.

In the dark and gloomy atmosphere, Zheng Yunyao is like a walking lighthouse, attracting a large number of ghosts hidden in the shadows.
