Canteen turmoil

Despite Di Mingjun's 'kind reminders', Yu Siqi generally has a certain psychological expectation of the picture he is about to see.

But he still underestimated the seriousness of the matter; Or rather, he overestimated his mental capacity.

When Yu Siqi followed the warning sign into the hall where the word 'canteen' was still hung, what he saw was no longer a place where people could eat with confidence, but a 'wholesale seafood market' filled with the smell of fish.

The place, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, has now been emptied. In the vacant lot, at least a few patients who appeared to be in very bad shape lay flat.

Around these patients, a variety of medical equipment is placed. Some even put a needle into a patient's body.

Not far from them, the priest and the two were arguing in louder voices that anyone could hear.

"You can't just sit idly by, Father."

Even if you are wearing a chemical protective suit, Don't worry about walking is still so easy to recognize.

"I didn't 'sit on the sidelines'. In fact, if I had done that, you and I wouldn't be here. ”

The other person wearing a chemical protective suit should be Father An. For some reason, Yu Siqi felt that his nasal voice was a little heavy, as if he had a cold.

"Then why did you insist on leaving? Especially after these things have happened. ”

Don't worry about asking persistently.

"I've explained it to you, doctor. It's not my war, it's not my responsibility. I am just an ordinary civilian, and I am under no obligation to continue to blend in in this chaotic situation. I've done what I had to do. Isn't that enough? ”

After Father An said this, he turned his face to Yu Siqi and the others, and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Someone is worried about your safety, so let's all come over."

Xie Chonggui pointed to Yu Siqi beside him.

After hearing this, the priest glanced at Yu Siqi and said, "Excessive worries may become a burden to you. ”

"Are you saying he shouldn't have done that?" Gong Chen began to feel sorry for Yu Siqi, "You know, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he called us all over." ”

"I'm impressed, really. But don't forget, I didn't 'take the initiative' to call you over, did I? ”

As soon as Father An said this, Yu Siqi's mood became a little complicated. Dare to love his own care, for him, is it just a superfluous part?

"Yes, you didn't call us over. So, maybe we should just leave, right? ”

Yu Siqi asked angrily.

"That's probably the best solution so far."

Father Ann beckoned and told them all to follow him.

"You'll regret it, Father."

Don't worry about walking behind the priest and shouting.

"If I don't leave now, then I will regret it in the true sense of the word."

Father An's words were very direct, and at the same time, Yu Siqi, who was still sulking, heard a hint of something else.

In this way, after the group passed through the isolation chamber and handed the chemical protective suits back to those people. Father An whispered an apology to Yu Siqi: "I'm sorry for those words just now. But if I don't say that, I'm afraid we'll have to stay there for a while, which is obviously something I don't want. ”

"Why is that?"

Xie Chonggui asked with some concern.

"Let's go back and get some things first, I've pulled my books in the tent."

Fr. Ann noticed that someone was trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, and eagerly quickened his pace.

The process of going back was not 'smooth sailing' for them, and at least three or more people were following them at the distance that was visible to the naked eye.

"What the hell have you done, Father?"

Gong Chen, who entered the tent, asked in a low voice.

"I didn't do anything, that's the worst thing." Father Ann tucked the bookside book into his arms and said, "Alright, we're going to find a way to inform the others to evacuate." It's probably not going to be easy, and I bet those people won't let us go so easily. ”

"Can't you tell us what's going on, Father?"

From the priest's expression and words, Yu Siqi could sense that he seemed to have a special preference for 'leaving'. But he never explained the situation, which made the others very 'mind'.

"Well, for the sake of all of you being so 'expectant,' I'll explain it to you a little bit." Fr. Ann's gaze moved to the outside of the tent for a moment, and then waited until the footsteps had faded before he spoke: "I got up about five o'clock, and it was not yet dawn. Because I was a little hungry, I went to the cafeteria, which was not too far from us. ”

"Look, what I'm talking about. The priest will definitely go to the canteen to find food, this is already a fixed 'formula'. ”

Xie Chonggui patted Yu Siqi's shoulder, and the latter remembered that there seemed to be such a paragraph.

"Eating is one of the ways of human existence, and I can't change it."

Father Ann defended himself very seriously.

"Alright, let's move on. No one cares about your eating for a long time. ”

Gong Chen took out a few packets of popcorn, threw them to Yu Siqi and Xie Chonggui, and said, "Eat, although it can't completely solve the problem of satiety, it is enough to cope with it for a while." ”

"Thank you."

As soon as Yu Siqi tore open the package and stuffed the popcorn inside into his mouth, Father An continued to speak.

"About a few hours ago, when I had just received the steamed buns from the cafeteria, I noticed something that ordinary people don't easily notice.

Fishy odor

In fact, the smell in the cafeteria is not a difficult thing to explain. After all, according to their chef, someone brought a large bucket of fresh fish to the canteen last night.

But guess what, the bucket was empty this morning.

Not a single fish was left. ”

"There are so many people in the camp, and it is easy for one person to take one."

Gong Chen put forward a hypothesis.

"That being said, the cafeteria is closed in the middle of the night. In other words, the people who can eat in the canteen must be the staff of the canteen. Father An took Gong Chen's words and continued, "So at that time, I put down the uneaten steamed bun in my hand and went to investigate the matter about the staff.

I'm ashamed to say that I was naΓ―ve enough to think that this was just an ordinary theft.

Who knew that when I came to the back kitchen and asked from the person in charge that at least ten or more cooks were absent from work today, I began to realize that something was not quite right.

To be on the safe side, I summoned Don't Worry to the canteen and went with him to the cooks' place of residence.

Then, we 'smoothly' found the employees who kept themselves in the fish tank, and the remaining fish. ”

"What's going on?"

Everyone asked in unison.

"All of them, all of them, are infected. After being infected, their bodies undergo certain changes, from the inside out. Another thing that's worth mentioning is that they weren't infected by those fish. Those innocent 'fish' only hastened their pathology. ”

After Fr. Ann told them what he knew, he said to the others, "Now that the story is over." You know why I let you go, right? ”

"Are you worried that we might be affected as well?"

Yu Siqi asked.

"When faced with an unknown problem, the best solution is obviously not to face it directly, but to plan and act."

Father Ann lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent.
