I drove the car and drove all the way to City D according to the GPS system that came with the car.

On the way, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and when I saw it, it was An An, who had not been in contact for a long time, and hurriedly opened it with one hand, and turned on the amplification mode by the way.

"Hey...... Is it glutinous rice? An An's voice sounded a little muffled.

"It's me. What happened to An An? "I was on the steering wheel and turning up the volume on my phone.

"I'm in City D...... I'm ...... Something went wrong...... I don't know who to contact right now. An An sounded flustered, and she also seemed a little weak.

"D City?? An An, isn't your home in City B? I asked in surprise. Why has anyone been involved with this damn D City lately?

"My grandmother...... In D City, I didn't worry about my mother coming alone, so I came with me. As a result, as soon as I came in, the city was closed here. My mom seems to be infected with XIZ now, and my grandmother has also gone missing with us. Crush gave me a bottle of emergency medicine, but I left it with my grandmother......"

Lockdown? I hadn't thought about it. Gritting my teeth, I said to An An: "An An, calm down, you also gave me that kind of medicine, and now I have it here." However, this medicine is a palliative treatment but not a cure, and can only temporarily suppress the disease, and it will change back in less than 24 hours. I know there's someone who can cure your mom completely, and I'm rushing to D City right now to find that person. You hold on a little longer, and when I find him and know the cure for XIZ, I'll tell you as soon as possible, okay? ”

“…… I'm going with you! An An's voice was resolute.

I have a headache, one or two like this. I tried my best to persuade in a gentle voice: "An An, your mother is still by your side, right?" If you go with me, who will take care of your mother? Who can guarantee that your mom won't run around? What if she gets lost like your grandmother? How do you get her back? The best thing to do now is for you to stay where you are and protect your mom while protecting yourself. I swear, I'll let you know as soon as I get any news, let's keep in touch, okay? ”

An An was silent over there. I had the steering wheel in my hand, but this time I couldn't accommodate her anymore - it wasn't as simple as swiping my card to invite me to dinner. In the end, An An relented: "Okay...... Let's keep in touch. Glutinous rice, I believe in you, my mother depends on you. Thank you for helping me do this. You have to pay attention to safety and don't have any more accidents...... I...... I don't want anything to happen to the people around me anymore......" At this, An An began to sob.

"An An, don't cry, An An, I understand your feelings. I've been around a lot lately...... I promise you, I'll be fine, okay? Stay where you are and wait for me, and contact me immediately if you have anything. "My eyes are starting to turn red too. If this was in the dormitory, maybe we would have hugged each other and cried loudly. But it's not, it's on the way to City D, I'm about to face a lot of unknowns, and I have to be strong. In order to find my brother, to help my uncle, to find a way to save my parents, I had to be strong.

"Good...... I stopped crying. Glutinous rice, you're okay, I'll hang up first, let's keep in touch. An An's voice was still nasal, and I could imagine her red eyes biting her lip and forbearing. I let out a somewhat relieved "um" and heard the sound of hanging up.

I sniffed, remembering that a month ago I had been playing around with this little girl at school, and who knew that it would turn out to be like this in just a few weeks.

Now we can only pray that this will pass quickly and that our lives will be back on track.

In order to change my mood, I turned on the radio in the car: "City D has been paralyzed in all aspects. The relevant personnel are being evacuated from the urban area in batches under the arrangement of the relevant departments, and the evacuation operation is expected to be completed within two days. Our correspondent in Taiwan said that no signs of the existence of more survivors were found. City D is no longer as prosperous as it once was, and has become a veritable 'dead city'......"

I frowned. City D is about to be emptied? Where's that uncle? Did he find the man he was talking about? My brother is out too, right? Probably won't be left in D City, right? Can I still get in? Isn't it too late for me to go? What's going on over there? …… For a moment, all kinds of thoughts were so hard that I scratched my hair in annoyance, and I couldn't help but dial my uncle's number.

The uncle quickly answered, and his voice was very tired: "Hey, glutinous rice, what happened?" ”

"Uncle, I heard the radio. What's wrong with you guys? You okay? "I'm anxious.

"We're fine...... I'm still in City D, your brother is with me, and we've decided to evacuate tomorrow. We found something, but it's not convenient to say it now...... I'll tell you more when I get back, okay? ”

I suddenly hesitated: "Uncle...... Actually, I'm on my way to D City right now. ”

"What?? Didn't you, you, you, and I let you stay at home? Can you two sisters and brothers let me worry a little bit!! Hurry up and give me back!! Don't your mom and dad want it? My uncle sounded really angry, and I quickly explained, "I've settled down with Mom and Dad, it's fine." You are all here, how can I wait at home alone. At least I'm a college student, maybe it comes in handy, let me do it, okay? Anyway, it's the last day......"

"......" Uncle seemed to have lost his temper by us, and after a long time he said angrily, "Forget it, whatever you want." In the future, if your mother scolds me, I will say that you forced me! ”

"Okay, okay, it's all our idea, we won't let my mother scold you." I knew that my uncle meant not to be angry when he said this, so he quickly replied cooperatively.

"We are in the operating room of the branch of Xiangyi Hospital on D Street, you can call me when you get to the entrance of the hospital, and I will go down to pick you up." The uncle's tone was very helpless. I smiled and hung up.

Soon, at the city entrance of City D, there was a group of people with real guns and live ammunition, dressed as armed police. When they saw me coming, they stopped me immediately.

"The city is going to be cleared, and no one is allowed to enter again." One of them shouted at me.

"I was entrusted by Gu Xiao to enter the city, and I am his assistant." Gu Xiao is his uncle's name. I called my uncle's phone, explained the situation, and handed it to one of the armed policemen.

The armed policeman listened for a while, pouting and frowning very unhappy. But he didn't bother me much, and after returning the phone to me, the boss reluctantly let me go.

I entered the city, and the inside was even more depressed than the outside. There are broken homes and equipment everywhere, and the damage should have been thrown directly from the upper floors. With such a tall building, you can imagine how crazy it was at the time.

I drove cautiously and bumped all the way forward. The road was also smashed, and there was not a good place left in the city. I looked at the half-knocked down sign and carefully identified the road - the GPS on the car seemed to have not been updated in years, and the route showed was somewhat different from the current one.

I finally found a sign that said "Xiangyi Hospital in D City", so I turned in with my headlights on and found my father's car in front of the gate.

I parked next to my dad's car and dialed my uncle's phone again, looking up at the building in the car. It is estimated that the water and electricity have been cut off, and the former hospital has become a black hole and a little infiltrated. I looked at it a few times, and I already felt a little creepy, so I looked away and stopped looking.

After a while, my uncle appeared at the gate, his torn white coat stained with many strange colors. I got out of the car and greeted my uncle, who asked him if he needed to bring his luggage to the hospital.

"Take it, take it, we won't go out tonight." The uncle helped carry the duffel bag, and hurried in as if he was in a hurry. I hurriedly followed.

After entering the hospital lobby, I turned right and went up the stairs. There are windows on the stairs that are not very dark, but when you turn the corner on the third floor, the road ahead is almost dark. I hurriedly walked a few steps and grabbed the hem of my uncle's clothes.

In the darkness, I silently counted my steps with my heartbeat, and when I counted "27", my uncle pushed open the door, and suddenly a dazzling light came.
