In a company in Qingtu City. Several employees sat silently in their seats in the office area, and this was a rare day when they could not work. Because even the boss is anxious that he is locked under the same roof as them, and he is in no mood to do things.

However, it is not without those who are extremely optimistic, but those people have all gone into the leisure area in the distance at this time, playing games in the game warehouse.

Ten minutes ago, a droid brought in a bucket of water. As for food, almost every company and home has a standard stir-fry robot, so there's no need to worry.

Along with the bottled water, there is also the initial test strip for the virus, as long as you blow lightly on the thin piece of paper, wait for a minute, if the test strip does not change color, you can preliminarily determine that you are not infected with the virus in the first place.

"Try them all, if you get infected, the test strip side will turn green, good luck to everyone. The boss said, but he was holding a piece of test strip, his hands couldn't stop trembling, he was really afraid of the result after a minute, he plucked up the courage to blow on the test strip, simply closed his eyes and waited for the result.

Other employees also began to test, and the minute was much longer than expected, and the normally bustling company has never been more quiet than it is now.

"I'm fine! I'm not infected! Hahaha!" An exaggerated laugh came out, bringing a touch of change to the heavy atmosphere.

The boss opened his eyes, swept the test strip in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh and show a rare smile. "Everyone's alright, right?"

"I'm fine!"

"Scared me to death, I'm fine!"

Joyful voices rang out one after another, and it was confirmed that all the employees who had been tested were in a healthy state.

The boss's hanging heart finally landed, and he also had the heart to joke, "This shows that there is no source of infection among us, well, not bad." The few people in the game warehouse in the leisure area are playing high, and everyone is calling me up, I think they are too angry. ”

"It's really heartless, I really can't compare. An employee walked to the leisure area and kicked a few times from game warehouse to game barn, and all the worries in his heart were vented. Even the boss did not stop him from destroying the company's property, but instead smiled with tolerance.

The game warehouse was opened one after another, and a group of employees who were still unsatisfied just climbed out and saw the relaxed atmosphere around them. A female employee pinched her nose and handed them the test strip, "Take it for the test, hurry up! I'm holding my breath, don't infect me." ”

"I'm afraid you'll infect me, so I'll try it. A long-haired girl rolled her eyes and said.

"Eh, Feilan, why hasn't your family Dajiang come out yet?" an employee who had just finished the test and was waiting for the results patted Oe's game warehouse and asked the long-haired girl.

"I don't know, you're crazy, aren't you?"

A minute later.

"Mine didn't change color. ”

"I'm not infected!"

"It's the same, we've all been in the company and hardly left, how can we be infected?"

"Me too!"

Fei Lan looked at the test strip in his hand, smiled, and gently covered the table, "It seems that everyone is fine." Let's go eat!"

The group came to the office area and looked very relaxed. However, the girl named Feilan was very cautious and put on a respirator.

"Oh my God, Feilan, are you too hypocritical, you don't even like the air we breathe? One of the girls complained.

"Forget it, people can bring it if they like it, anyway, it's her who is uncomfortable, what does it have to do with you. I'll just say, we've been working overtime, and we don't have a chance to go outside and breathe a breath of air with the virus, let alone come into contact with a sick person. ”

"It's just Dajiang, are you still playing in the leisure area? Hurry up and call him out, it's time to eat." The boss said, and at the same time asked someone to prepare the dishes, "Today's dinner is sumptuous, and I haven't eaten much at noon." ”

An employee came to the recreation area again, walked to the side of Oe's game warehouse, and turned off the system directly from the outside, "Hey, see if you can't get out?"

One minute, one second, one minute, one second.

The relaxed atmosphere of the company gradually solidified, and everyone looked at the game warehouse in the quarantine area, where Dajiang was silent. It's been five minutes, and even the system is turned off, so why else is there to huddle in that small space with a black umbrella?

"The boss... What should I do? shout again?" someone asked worriedly.

"The fireproof isolation door seals the leisure area!" the boss nervously glanced at the employees behind him, "Quick, how do you do it?

"I'll come, I'll come, right away. An employee opened the company's security virtual console in front of him, and after a few skillful and quick operations on the translucent light screen, the leisure area where the game warehouse was stacked not far away was sealed by a slowly falling metal isolation door.

A group of people no longer have the desire to eat, and the uneasy mood spreads again, "The first symptoms of the virus are fever and weakness, right?"

"Could he just be asleep?"

"Can you sleep so dead?"

"Monitoring! Who brings up the picture inside, if Da Jiang is fine, we can't lock him up." Someone shouted, and an employee projected a picture of the recreation area into the air.

"Luckily, there are test strips on the small table inside. ”

"He's not going to die, is he?" a timid female voice was about to cry in fear.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fei Lan glared at the girl, his gaze redirected to the screen in mid-air, and looked at the game warehouse worriedly.

In the mid-empty screen, the hatch of the game compartment suddenly moved. Oe walked out tiredly, with a strange ruddy look on his face.

"Ahem!" Dae coughed, then immediately covered his mouth and glanced at the surrounding environment, it was obviously the company's leisure area, but what was the matter with that huge iron gate?

"Da Jiang!" In the leisure area, a voice sounded, "Da Jiang, I'm Fei Lan, there is a test strip on the small table next to you, quickly blow into it." ”

Dae instantly understood his situation, and couldn't help shouting into the air, "I'm not infected, really! I may just have the most ordinary fever, just let me go to the medical warehouse to deal with it! You believe me, are you locking me up? Don't be like this! I'm really not infected, I don't have a chance to be infected!"

"Oe, you calm down first!" the boss's voice echoed in the empty room, but it didn't play a reassuring role, "On the small table is the initial test strip to detect the virus, and you blow into it!"

Knowing that he had no choice, Oe picked up the test strip and blew lightly.

"Don't be perfunctory, Dajiang, blow with a big breath!" someone shouted from outside watching the picture.

Dae reluctantly did so, but because he was too courageous, he couldn't help coughing up again, and before the test strip could show the results, he was red by the blood spurted out by Oe.

There was an uproar outside the isolation door, and some people even unconsciously stayed away from the projection in mid-air, as if they would be infected even if they saw the picture.

"He must be infected! He must be infected!"

"Hurry up, seal the air duct in the relaxation area!"

"How do you seal it?!"

"The air conditioning was changed to circulate within the recreation area, so it should be fine. ”

"Hurry up and report it, let the professional pick him up!"

"Don't make any noise!" Fei Lan shouted, suppressing the gradually chaotic voice, "Look at Dajiang's test strip!"

In a projection in the middle of the air. Oe sat weakly against the wall, but one hand was raised high, and there was a half-stained test strip.

"The test strip didn't change color!"

"Is the virus evolving again?"

"This test strip isn't 100% effective, is it? How can he be like this without infection?"

"Don't open the door! Can't let him come out, who's going to ask if there's another way to test?"

Although the boss did not speak, he did not hesitate to close everyone's permissions, ensuring that no one could open the fire door through the company's security system. "Dajiang, you have a good rest first, if you are not infected, then it is the same wherever you stay. If you're infected, but you haven't been detected, it's not good for everyone to open the door and let you out. ”

"But boss, there is no food or water in it, he looks so weak now, he can't last long, right? Maybe it's just a chance to get sick?

"Don't be stupid! It's right to be cautious at this time. The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead, "We can't solve this matter by ourselves, we will report it and let people pick up Dajiang, he needs professional treatment." ”

"No!" a middle-aged man immediately retorted, "A friend of mine experienced something similar not long ago, the people around them were infected, and after they reported it, everyone including those who were not infected were taken away, and I still can't contact that friend." ”

"What?!"

"Won't you be killed?"

"Where were they taken?"

"If we report it, won't we all be taken away, right?

"Or," a terrified man suggested, "if he's going to die anyway, let's kill him." In a few days, the virus will disappear along with it. ”

"Bastard, what are you talking about?!Are you crazy?" Fei Lan looked angrily at the man who spoke.

"I'm not wrong, we don't dare to report it, and we can't open the door, he's going to starve to death. Rather than die so painfully and delay for so long, why don't we let him be freed? Besides, we are a company, not a laboratory, this level of isolation is simply unreliable, and there will be air leaks!"

The boss continued to wipe his sweat, he hadn't felt so hot in many years, "Quick! The gaps around the isolation door are sealed with sealant!"

"It's useless!" continued to shout the man who had advised Oe to kill him, "the ventilation duct is so big, what if he is so hungry that he wants to climb out of there?

"Hey, you're enough! Oe can't stand up now, and besides, isn't the test strip discolored?"

"The test strip will only change color on one side, and he may show us the side that doesn't change color!"

In the recreation area, Oe couldn't hear the quarrel of his colleagues, because the opposite side unilaterally turned off the sound. But after so long without a response, Oe could guess what they were hesitating about.

Da Jiang raised his head weakly, "Sizi, when you first arrived in Qingtu City, I introduced you to your current job, right?"

Outside the door, the young man who suggested killing Dae was slightly stunned, looking very painful, and stopped talking, just shrunk in the corner to block his ears.

"Dali, there was an accident at your home last year, and I lent you all the money on me for emergency, I know you have no money now, so I didn't urge you to pay it back. You can help me talk to them. ”

"Feilan, you're my girlfriend! You know who I am, if I really get infected, I will never bother you. But I really don't, you see, my test strip has not changed color! Such a serious matter, the test strip issued by Daewoo and CDC must definitely ensure that there will be no mistakes, believe me!"

in the office area. Everyone was silent.

The man called Dali who had been ordered by Dae before stood up and looked at the boss and his colleagues around him, "The Daewoo Medical Department and the CDC Headquarters have made it very clear that the small amount of virus excreted through breathing will not necessarily cause infection at first, and if there is no wind, the virus in the air will sink rapidly. Shall we let Oe hold his breath and run out of our way and leave us? If he keeps taking the recreation area with him, he will starve to death. ”

"Dali, you can't ignore our safety because of Dajiang! Besides, where can he go if he runs out? Now that the streets are under martial law, anyone who is infected or not, once they go out, will be caught by robots. Another girl said.

"Jiang Jin, Da Jiang also helped you pay the rent last month, how can you say that?!" said vigorously angrily.

"That's Fei Lan helped me cushion, what does it have to do with Dajiang? Besides, why didn't you stop us when the door was closed just now? You went in to accompany him at that time!"

"That's it, Fei Lan or Dajiang's girlfriend, she didn't say anything, what kind of good person are you pretending to be?!"

"I'll go get him something to eat. Fei Lan pleaded.

"No problem. The boss said coldly, "But if you go in, you can't come out again, how about it?"

Fei Lan was silent, and the whole person looked very depressed, and it seemed that there was a lack of vitality.

A female companion who is usually good grabbed Feilan's hand and comforted, "Feilan, we know you're sad, but you really can't open the door! This virus has triggered Phantom Blue No. 1! This is an unprecedented catastrophe, and you can't care about your personal feelings at this time." ”

Fei Lan sighed deeply, "Then is this the reason why you have annihilated your humanity?

"This is not accurate, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Li Wu is extremely afraid of the safety of Phantom Blue Star and is even ready to sacrifice Phantom Blue City. What if we sacrifice a big river for the safety of the people around us?"

"That's right, I agree with what Brother Gan said. The Daewoo Medical Department has not said that the virus has been studied thoroughly, so what if there is an exception that the test strip cannot detect?

Fei Lan smiled miserably, "Let me be alone." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the office area. Gritted his teeth vigorously and followed.

in the office area.

Without Vigor and Non-Blue, the rest of the people are very harmonious.

"Otherwise, people can't die without eating for a few days, maybe the CDC will find a solution in a few days?"

"We are also for everyone's safety, if Dae is conscious, he should also take the initiative to ask for self-isolation, right?"

"His symptoms seem to be a sign of infection, but why hasn't the test strip changed color?"

"It's a pity that the test strips are all disposable, there is no extra there, otherwise it would be better to let him try a few more times. ”

"Although I feel sorry for Dae, even if we report to Daewoo and the CDC headquarters, he should not end well, right?"

At the entrance of the company.

Fei Lan wore a respirator and looked at the empty street outside the glass door, only to feel the unprecedented cold.

"Fei Lan!" ran over vigorously, with guilt on his face, "I'm sorry, I did my best in Dae's business." ”

"The door is locked by the system, not by someone inside the company. It should be locked by a more advanced directive. Fei Lan still looked out the window, and his tone was very cold.

"Maybe it's like this in every building, right?"

"I heard that a few days ago, a big customer in Red Umbrella City customized several sets of closed ecological cabins in Qingtu Yuanhang, and now they are in the company's warehouse?" Fei Lan asked.

"Yes, it was supposed to be transported by our side yesterday, but unfortunately Qingtu City was blocked, and we couldn't deliver this batch of goods. Speaking of which, the customer's name is quite strange, called Bai Diandian, a rich man. Dali smiled bitterly, "Do you think it will be the little princess of Daewoo?"

"It's a single-occupancy type, isn't it?"

"Well, the TD9914 can survive for 10 years. ”

"I don't want to see that group of people anymore, and since I can't get out, then I'll take advantage of one. Will you come with me?"

Dali accompanied Fei Lan all the way to the warehouse, he understood Fei Lan's mood very well, and he didn't say anything like that, in this situation, where are the rules?

Non-blue proficient operating system, bind their identity authentication to the ecological cabin, so that no one can open it without their own instructions.

"Dali, you can help me check the distress system, I'm not familiar with that piece. ”

"Good. "The moment I stepped into the eco-cabin, the door was closed from the outside. Turning around vigorously and slapping the hatch, "Feilan, what's going on?"

"Dali, thank you for helping Dajiang speak. I set this pod to open automatically after 10 years, and hopefully it will be over by then. ”

Office area.

Everyone had already started eating, and some people lowered their heads as they watched Fei Lan come from outside.

Non-blue opened the communication to the recreation area, but the connection failed, and it was only prompted by insufficient permissions. It seems that everyone is afraid that Oe will suddenly send a communication screen, right?

"Boss, let me say one last word to Oe. Fei Lan said.

The boss hesitated for a moment and said with great embarrassment, "Only this once." ”

"Good. ”

After receiving authorization, Fei Lan saw Oe.

"Oe!"

The half-squinted Dae in the recreation area raised his head.

"Oe, listen to me. You must, you must, you have to find a way to survive on your own. I love you. Just after saying this, without waiting for Dajiang to respond, Fei Lan turned off the communication.

Fei Lan took off the respirator and exhaled heavily, "It's still comfortable." ”

"I said earlier that there is no need to wear it, it can only last for 1 hour, sooner or later you have to take it off, right?" a female voice trotted over and grabbed Fei Lan's hand, "Don't think about it, let's go, let's eat together." ”

"Good. ”

in an enclosed recreation area. Oe bracled up and climbed to the chair next to the table and sat down, his head was so dizzy that he didn't have the energy to curse the people outside the door.

Oe rummaged through the table, trying to see if there were any test strips that he hadn't used yet, maybe that would prove his innocence. He flipped through them one by one, and they looked like they had all been used.

"Huh?" Dae stared at a test strip that he had grabbed casually, his eyes widened in disbelief. The test strip was placed on the side of the tabletop and turned verdant green!

Red Umbrella City, Daewoo Headquarters.

Zhu Yan looked at the picture in mid-air, and couldn't say what he felt in his heart, "The same situation as this company is common in Qingtu City. These infected people should have been infected by the original water source carrying the virus, and Qinghe ordered it a little too late. ”

"You're moving fast enough. Ye Qingmian sighed regretfully, "I like that little girl named Feilan, but it's a pity." ”

"But that's just the beginning. Zhu Yan closed his eyes sadly.

"So what the hell are you doing with this test strip?"

"Do you think it's just a test? Each test strip has a tiny reaction chip, and once an infected person is detected, Daewoo can immediately capture all the surveillance and communications in its vicinity, and we have to make sure that the infected person is in our line of sight. No infected person should be allowed to be brought into quarantine. ”

Ye Qingmian nodded and reiterated, "The initial attack will not stop, your focus should still be on the genetic antidote, don't put the cart before the horse." ”

"I understand, that's what I called you here for. We already have a few ideas on our side, and when the experts arrive, you can listen to and analyze them. You've seen and used that antidote, and maybe you can help us choose the most promising direction. ”
