Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 60: The Oven

In the command car, Xiao Muchen was looking down at the report in his hand.

This is the count of the number of people who died last night, from encountering the meteorite swarm, to being attacked, to meeting the mutant crow swarm.

Xiao Muchen's face was a little pale, and there was a blue and black shadow under his eyes, and he had not slept since yesterday daytime.

"Commander Xiao, there is news from the Self-Defense Forces that an anomaly has been discovered."

Chen Ruoyu got into the car from below with an audio and video book, and when he saw him, Xiao Muchen's face changed.

Now, he didn't want to see Chen Ruoyu at all.

As long as he saw him, he always had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"What's the situation?"

"When we had some people patrol to Beetle 73, we found that there were febrile patients inside, but when we made sure it was made, there were none."

"Fever-down?"

It is common for fever patients to reduce fever, and Chen Ruoyu will not come to him for such a thing, there must be something new.

"No, I adjusted the surveillance video and found a video, and I couldn't make up my mind, so I came over to show Commander Xiao."

Chen Ruoyu handed a very small video board in his hand to Xiao Muchen: "This is it." ”

Xiao Muchen opened the audio and video board, and the picture inside was the scene in Sang Yu's car.

Lu Yu and Meng Qinghu left the No. 73 Little Beetle, Xia Qing and Sang Yu said a few words, took two thermos buckets and left the Little Beetle. Sang Yu sorted out the sundries and cleaned up the garbage, and Meng Xinai fell asleep restlessly in the back seat, crying uneasily in her sleep.

Everything looked normal, Sang Yu went out to throw out the garbage, and the Self-Defense Forces temperature measurement team passed by outside the car, bowing their heads to record something.

Sang Yu came back, climbed into the back seat, and reached out to touch Meng's beloved head. She didn't seem to believe it, and she stretched out her forehead again to put her forehead together with Meng's beloved forehead.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were staring at the picture, motionless, and he saw Sang Yu lying on the window and looking out a few times. Presumably to make sure there was no one outside, she then raised her hand and placed it on top of Meng's beloved head.

Something like a small shiny green star, shining and falling on Meng's beloved forehead, disappeared.

After a while, Xia Qing came over with a thermos bucket.

Wait for the Self-Defense Forces to come over with the nursing staff and take Meng Xinai's body temperature and check her body. At this moment, Meng Xinai had already woken up, and was squatting in the shadow outside the car with Sang Yu refreshed, eating the rice porridge brought back by Xia Qing.

"What is Meng Xinai's body temperature?"

“36.3,。”

Xiao Muchen then asked, "What about Meng Sangyu's?" ”

"36.5, Xia Qing's 36.4, no anomaly."

Xiao Muchen's eyes became darker and darker, he took his gaze away from the video board, and said softly: "This matter, you must keep it secret, pay close attention to the changes in Meng Sangyu, twenty-four hours, and don't miss a moment." ”

"Yes, Commander Xiao."

can be sent by Xiao Muchen to monitor Meng Sangyu twenty-four hours a day, it must be someone he trusts. Even so, Xiao Muchen still cleared the part where Meng Sangyu treated Meng Xinai from the video board.

For some reason, he didn't want a third person to know about it.

Is this a cure?

Little girl, what else will you do? What else I don't know.

Xiao Muchen was inexplicably looking forward to it, expecting Meng Sangyu to give him more surprises.

At the side of the little Beetle at Command Post No. 73, Xia Qing led two little girls to drink porridge. Originally, there was also rice, but Xia Qing still made a thermos bucket of porridge and a thermos bucket of rice.

In this way, everyone can drink porridge if they want to, and they can eat rice if they want to eat rice.

Meng Xinai had just subsided her fever, but Sang Yu seemed to be sick, and her whole body was soaked with sweat. Both of them had bad appetites, so they followed Xia Qing to squat under the shadow of the car and drink porridge.

Meng Qinghu strode over, looking at Meng Sangyu, whose face was a little pale and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his mouth moved, and he swallowed it again.

Instead, Lu Yu said indignantly: "Do you know Qiao Lina's aunt? ”

"You know, what's wrong?"

Xia Qing looked at Lu Yu's red face, and asked in some surprise, "Did she provoke you?" ”

Qiao Lina's aunt Xia Qing is not familiar with them, at most they know each other, and this person should have no intersection with them logically. Even if it is, it is just a nodding acquaintance.

"She got into our car in District 8 and flipped our stuff over."

"What?"

Xia Qing stood up suddenly: "Why did she do this?" Besides, she is from District 9, why did she get into the car of our District 8? ”

Lu Yu frowned with some disgust: "She said that there were a lot of people in District 9, and the cars were crowded, and her sister was in District 8, so she squeezed into our convoy." She didn't know who she heard that Meng's beloved parents were dead. We didn't go back today, and she took our place and rummaged through our things. ”

Lu Yu was simply furious in his heart, he had never seen such a shameless woman. It's still reasonable to turn over other people's things, and I don't know where she got the confidence. He and Meng Qinghu have only come over now, and they just quarreled with someone over there.

Aunt Qiao Lina is a woman who is greedy for small profits, otherwise she would not have kept her daughter in Qiao Liya's house.

Last night, she heard from her daughter that Meng Sangyu's father was missing and her stepmother was dead. started the idea of the little Beetle of the Meng family, and before she could act, she heard that Lu Yu and the two were sent by the Self-Defense Forces to take care of the three brothers and sisters of the Meng family.

Early in the morning, she simply moved her things to the car in District 8, and on the way, they didn't come back to get their luggage, and easily turned the packages of Lu Yu's two sons and the Meng family brothers and sisters upside down.

She also took the dry food prepared by others to eat, and the people in the carriage said about her, and she also said that I would eat two biscuits, and I didn't take anything from them.

She didn't take the things, but she opened the box containing Meng Sangyu's seeds and looked through them, and when she saw that they were all inedible seeds, she pushed them aside casually.

The box was boxy, and she didn't notice that it was overturned by her. You may have noticed it, but you didn't take it seriously. The seeds just rolled out of the box and rolled all over the wagon.

The seeds were not big in the first place, and it was a carriage with so many people, and everyone didn't pay attention to it at all.

Some of the seeds were trampled back and forth, flattened and broken. Some of the smaller ones fell directly through the cracks in the carriage and disappeared.

Even the box was accidentally trampled on.

Meng Qinghu knew that these seeds were saved by his grandfather with great difficulty, and they were his sister's life-root-son.

He knelt in the carriage and cleaned up for a long time, before he collected less than a third of the seeds, Meng Qinghu held the seeds that were messed together, and tears came down.

He really couldn't explain it to his sister.

Meng Sangyu had just treated Meng Xinai, and after eating a bowl of porridge, he felt a little relieved, and heard from his brother that the seeds were lost. Looking at the seeds mixed together with only a small bag in front of him, he couldn't help but see a flower in front of him, and fell to the ground.

Meng Xinai's illness was cured, and Meng Sangyu launched a high fever.

Soon, Xiao Muchen knew about Meng Sangyu's high fever.

He didn't know that there was such a thing as seeds, he just thought that Meng Sangyu could cure people, but he would be eaten back.

Xiao Muchen couldn't help but sigh and said, "Such a therapist is completely chicken!" ”

Chicken rib therapist Meng Sangyu, the high fever continued to go away, Xia Qing kept wiping her with water, and it was useless to take the medicine to reduce the fever.

The Self-Defense Forces asked to send Meng Sangyu to the isolation car, but was stopped by Xiao Muchen, he wanted to wait and see if there would be a miracle, he didn't believe that Meng Sangyu would mutate.

The next day, Meng Sangyu's high fever did not go away but increased, and the whole person was burned into a big red shrimp.

The Self-Defense Forces finally took action and forcefully dragged Meng Sangyu to the isolation car.

Meng Qinghu hugged his sister and didn't let go, and went to the isolation compartment, which was basically equivalent to waiting for death. Either they were burned to death by high heat, or the injured and feverish people in the carriage mutated and were eaten by these people.

"Meng Qinghu, let go, otherwise we will throw you into the isolation compartment together."

Chen Ruoyu ran over, looked at Sang Yu, who was burned to the point of unknown, and pleaded with difficulty: "Look, can you put the two of them in a car alone, so that someone can take care of them." ”

He knew that his request was a bit excessive, and Meng Sangyu sent him to quarantine, which Xiao Muchen agreed. Most of the children in the No. 3 carriage they sent to, and the people burned a lot more than other isolation carriages, which was already very caring.

"Captain Chen, you have to know that if she mutates, it is not a matter of isolation. When the time comes, no one will be able to afford this responsibility. ”

Xia Qing stood with Meng Xinai and Lu Yu in her arms, her eyes were red, they all knew that the Self-Defense Forces were going to send Sang Yu to the carriage for quarantine, and it was useless for anyone to intercede.

Meng Sangyu was dragged to the third isolation car, and Meng Qinghu bent down to pick up the seeds dropped by his sister and followed him into the car. He couldn't leave his sister behind at this time, he promised his grandfather that he must take care of his sister.

Originally, there were three children and four adults in this carriage.

In addition to Meng Qinghu, who came with him voluntarily, there is also an aunt surnamed Jiang, who also voluntarily came over to take care of her son.

Meng Sangyu and this Aunt Jiang's child had a natural high fever, maybe because they were cold, maybe they were frightened. The rest of the children and adults were injured by the attack of the mutant crows.

Sang Yu was picked up by Aunt Jiang side by side with her son, she looked at the other four people with a heavy heart, pursed her lips and did not speak. But I know in my heart that this kind of person who is scratched by a mutated crow is very easy to mutate.

As long as one of these people mutates, the people in this carriage can hardly stop it, and they can only wait for death.

Aunt Jiang handed Meng Qinghu a basin and told him that she took the time to get water in the corner when she parked the car to wipe the child's body. whispered to him to keep wiping his sister's body, so that there could be hope of healing.

Every day when the car is parked, there will be nursing staff who come to dispense medicine, and those who are detected to be not feverish can go to fetch food and water.

In the car, there were six patients with high fever, and the whole carriage was like an oven.

The clothes on Meng Qinghu's body were dry and wet, wet and dry.

"Aunt Jiang, this can't be done, this carriage is sealed everywhere, if you don't open the window to ventilate, you will be stuffy."

As we all know, patients with high fever need to dissipate heat. But because of the fear of mutation, only the exhaust holes were left, and even the windows were closed.

Aunt Jiang looked at the tightly sealed car window, frowned and sighed, she didn't know, but what could she do?

Meng Qinghu approached Aunt Jiang and lowered his voice: "You help me listen, I'll pry open the window of this car." ”

"But ......"

"No, it's better than dying of heat here."

Aunt Jiang stuck to the welded car window on the other side and looked at the movement outside, Meng Qinghu began to use the dagger to warp the welded scars little by little.

The windows were a little high, and Meng Qinghu had to stand on tiptoe to get rid of the scars that had welded the windows.

After a while, his hand was lowered, and his arm was sore, numb, and painful.

No, if the windows are not opened, people will be exhausted.

Meng Qinghu stared at the carriage and searched everywhere, he wanted to find a new place to try.

These vans, all of which are used by the base to transport goods, are strong and durable, and they are all made of a whole steel plate, and there is no place to pry them open.

"Is it okay here?"

Aunt Jiang pointed to a long exhaust hole at the back of the car, which was the exhaust hole that the isolation compartment temporarily opened for them. As long as a disposable bag is put on it, everyone's excrement will go out from here.

Meng Qinghu nodded, leaned down, and began to carefully look for the gap left by the cutting, he just had to find a way to widen the gap.
