When I went out to buy groceries today, I found that there was a closed state everywhere, and I hope the epidemic will pass as soon as possible!

Special Chapter:

At the end of Yihai, at the beginning of Gengzi, there was a great epidemic, chaos in China, merchants were closed, and the people were guarding their houses, and they were not allowed to go out.

The reason for correcting it starts from the bat eaters in Jiangcheng, whose intelligence is very low, and it is said to be ☆☆. Although he suffered, he could not abandon it, so he raised his strength to build several hanging pots to help the world, and it was completed in more than ten days, and all the nations sighed and shouted miracles.

However, there are good and evil yin and yang in the world, and this epidemic can be used as a mirror to learn from demons, and there are good people who help the poor without falsehood, and there are also evil people who do not respect the Tao and use their own selfishness to fight the epidemic.

There are three mountains to suppress evil, and there are countless benevolent doctors, although there are more than tens of thousands of people who are not afraid, the so-called unity of the city has no two hearts, this is the way, and the power of the world can resist the enemy.

It is the way of the world, the sun and the moon are ruthless, everything has a spirit, and the old saying goes: God has the virtue of a good life, and it must not be humiliated! Pray for the Mandate of Heaven, bless my China, and may the peaceful and prosperous world be as Zhou Gong (Premier Zhou) said!

Poison Bats:

I can't say if I like my job now, but at least I've gone from being a homeless man to a decent person with a job. Every day I went out to hunt and kill, and collected the corpses, and then brought them home to be burned, looking at the black corpses after being killed, smelling the pungent rancid stench and burning, I didn't find it difficult to get used to, but felt more and more enjoyable, I thought I must be sick.

I don't know exactly when there were suddenly a lot of poisonous bats around, which led to the bat plague, so I became a bat hunter - a staff member who specializes in hunting and burning the carcasses of poisonous bats.

In fact, in the beginning, hunting poisonous bats and disposing of corpses were two different jobs, with bat hunters hunting poisonous bats outdoors and handing over the corpses to the incineration room for incineration.

But over the past year or so, more and more bat hunters have been infected, and the number of people who hunt poisonous bats has dropped dramatically, so the government has to have staff who specialize in burning poisonous bat carcasses join the ranks of bats hunting, so now bat hunters not only hunt poisonous bats, but also collect the carcasses of poisonous bats and take them to their own homes for incineration - each bat hunter's residence is equipped with a small incineration room.

Poisonous bats are no different from normal bats, but for some reason, poisonous bats begin to bite like crazy and spread a virus through blood, which is called the Soul Eater Virus, because people who have been bitten by poisonous bats or infected by the blood of poisonous bats will eventually lose most of their vital signs, no different from a vegetative person, as if their soul has been robbed.

I heard that at first, poisonous bats began to appear in cities hundreds of kilometers away, and many people were bitten and infected. At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just a frightened bat from the nearby mountains and forests that came to the city. At first, the bitten person only thought that he had been bitten by a wild animal and needed to go to the hospital for an antivenom, and did not think that it was any different from being bitten by other animals.

However, after a short time, there were more and more poisonous bats in the city, and more and more people were bitten, and those who were bitten found that even after careful treatment in the hospital, it did not work, and a series of symptoms appeared, so the government set up a research institute for the study of poisonous bat viruses.

Preliminary studies by government agencies have found that the poisonous bat virus only infects the human body through blood, and the main form of infection is direct attack by poisonous bats, and there are also cases of infection due to the wound unintentionally touching the blood of poisonous bats, and the infected person will feel weak and listless on the first day; The next day he looked sluggish and slurred; On the third day, the whole body was stiff, and he could only move mechanically, and he could not speak, but he did not hurt others; On the fourth day, he is completely vegetative, unable to respond to the outside world, but still has vital signs, and does not need to take additional energy to sustain life, just like a dormant person.

However, the medical staff was puzzled by the fact that the blood test results of poisonous bats were exactly the same as those of ordinary bats, did not contain special protein-like viruses and other bacteria, and the blood of infected humans could not transmit viruses like the blood of poisonous bats.

In less than two months, this poisonous bat also appeared in my city, and it has been spreading to other surrounding cities. In the more than a year since poisonous bats appeared in my city, more and more people have been infected with the Soul Eater virus, the streets are full of walking dead people, hospitals and even all corners of the city are full of motionless vegetative people, those vegetative people lying outside and no one cares about them, some of them have been eaten beyond recognition by insects and ants, many apartment buildings and private houses have been turned into ruins, except for some hospitals and government agencies that are still operating normally, other public places and facilities have been abandoned.

A month after the poisonous bats appeared in my city, I was spotted by the government as a cremator, working every day in a special incineration room set up by the government. Because more and more people are infected, there are fewer and fewer normal people left, and both the dedicated crematories and outdoor bathunters are very dangerous, so the government will allocate more food to those who are willing to do both jobs - after the poisonous bat plague spreads widely, only some food departments of government agencies can produce food, and the food supply of the entire city is distributed by the government.

I was alone in the incineration room, from morning to night, nearly 20 hours a day, I was receiving the corpses that were delivered, and after the corpses of poisonous bats were delivered, I first packed a dozen of them into black bags and piled them next to the incinerator, and when the black bags were piled up enough, I began to open the incinerator and put the packed black bags into the incinerator one by one, until all the black bags next to the incinerator were burned, and then I packed them and burned them again.

I wear black, thick protective clothing every day at work, protective clothing is specially produced and equipped by the government, each cremator and bat hunter has two sets, in fact, I think as long as I wear a protective glove can avoid being infected by the blood of poisonous bats, there is no need to wear this ugly and heavy protective clothing, like a fool, but the government strictly requires us to wear it when we work, if we don't wear it, it will deduct our monthly rations, and say that some crematories are infected because they don't wear protective clothing, of course, I don't know if it's true or not, But for the monthly rations, I will honestly work in protective clothing.

From the beginning of becoming a cremator, taking government rations, in just two months, there are more and more poisonous bats over the city, and the bat hunters have also suffered countless deaths and injuries, and few people are as active as when the poisonous bats first appeared.

Seeing that there were more and more poisonous bats and there was a shortage of bat hunters, the government decided to combine the work of crematories and bat hunters, and all the cremators not only had to burn the corpses of poisonous bats, but also go out to hunt poisonous bats, and it was at that time that I became a bat hunter. Not only did the government raise the rations for us as new bathunters, but government officials often gathered us to award us medals with names I had never heard of, and called us the saviors of the world, thanking us for helping the government and encouraging us to actively hunt and burn poisonous bats.

When I became a bat hunter, I didn't worry about my life, but I was a little excited, perhaps because I could finally burn the poisonous bats I had killed. It turned out that I did enjoy hunting venomous bats outdoors and started to enjoy the smell of burning the bats I hunted, which was delicious, and I told me that I was sick and that it was normal to be sick in the face of piles of bat carcasses and walking dead and rotting corpses all over the streets every day.

Early in the morning, I got up as usual, ate a few bites of dried bread, put on my hazmat suit, grabbed my gun, and walked out of the house for the day's hunt. After hunting in the streets for a while, I walked near an orphanage, which of course was a former orphanage, but now it is dilapidated and deserted. The orphanage is on one side of the street, consisting of a church-like house and an open space around the house, the orphanage is surrounded by an iron fence, the iron fence is the same distance from the house in the center on all sides, there is a rusty big iron gate in the middle of the iron fence on the side facing the street, the iron gate is facing the street, and there is a cement road between the iron gate and the house, which should be the passage for the people in the orphanage to enter and exit.

I was a little tired of looking at the infected pedestrians and decomposing corpses all over the street, so I walked to the fence of the orphanage and stopped, ready to pack up the backpack stuffed with poisonous bat corpses behind me, and then eat a few slices of bread that I carried with me, and suddenly saw a group of bats flying in my direction, I instinctively raised my gun and was about to shoot the flying bats, but the next second the bats turned around and entered through the big iron gate of the orphanage and flew straight into the house of the orphanage. I got excited, thinking to myself that the poisonous bats should not come out when they were in the house.

I loaded my gun with bullets, shook the soil from my protective suit, and walked towards the orphanage like a hero, a hero who was about to be praised by the government again. When I entered the orphanage house, I stood in the hall and looked around. The house is very dimly lit, but you can see that there are two floors above and below the house. There are some frescoes on the walls around the hall on the first floor, which are not very magnificent, but give a sense of solemnity. There are tables and chairs in a few corners of the hall, and there are some miscellaneous items on the tables and chairs that I don't know what they are, which look very shabby.

I walked around the hall and didn't see anything unusual, I didn't see where the poisonous bats were hiding, I just felt that the air around me was full of unpleasant musty smell, which was very pungent. I walked down the hallway deeper into the house and found a staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, the staircase was made of wood, each step was low, spiraling up from below. I walked up the stairs to the second floor, the second floor was a little brighter, and the first thing that caught my eye was a row of white doors, the one on the far edge was higher and wider, maybe the orphanage caretaker's room, and the rest of the doors were exactly the same, very neatly arranged, it should be the children's room.

One by one, I pushed open the doors and carefully examined every corner of each room. There was a bed and a dresser in the nursing room, everything was well organized, and the interior of each child's room was the same, except for a few beds and tables, and no signs of bats were found in these rooms on the second floor. Then I checked the restroom in the corner and found no poisonous bats.

I was a little disappointed and angry that I had seen a group of poisonous bats enter the house, and unless they escaped through the only broken window on the second floor, they must still be somewhere in the house.

Reluctantly, I returned to the first floor to continue my search, and suddenly found a small wooden door at the end of the mural on the wall opposite the entrance of the house, which almost blended into the mural in the dim light. I pushed open the small wooden door and saw a flight of stairs leading down - there was actually a basement in the house.

"Anyone?" I shouted as I descended the stairs.

No one answered, so I went down to the basement, which was very dark and smelled of burning candles. I found the flashlight in my bag, and I was startled the moment I turned it on.

I saw that there were many beds densely packed in the basement, about twenty or so, and there was a child lying on each bed! It can be seen that the children in the bed are all vegetative people who cannot move after being infected.

I've never seen so many infected people with their bodies so intact, and perhaps it's not accurate to describe them in full, but these children are clean in terms of skin and clothing. Just as I was surprised, I heard footsteps in the darkness on my right.

"Who?" I was a little panicked, although I was not afraid of poisonous bats and carrion corpses, but I was afraid of the living, "Who is where?" ”

There was no response, but I slowly saw that it was a woman, a young woman. The woman looked to be at most thirty years old, plainly dressed but neat, with a thin face and somewhat messy hair.

"I'm a caregiver at the orphanage and have been working here for 10 years." The woman said as she walked out of the darkness and came to me.

"You were bitten by a poisonous bat?" I saw marks on the woman's neck.

"Yes, just last night when I went out to look for food."

"No way, you'll be in a vegetative state soon."

"I know, I just want to be around the kids for the last few days."

I didn't feel sympathy, but I respected her.

"Did you see a swarm of poisonous bats coming in?" I asked the woman seriously.

"Nope!" The woman replied decisively, but her eyes were a little evasive.

I was tossing and pounding with my gun on the ground when I suddenly heard a rustling sound that I knew from my experience over a year was the sound of a poisonous bat.

I was about to walk in the direction of the sound when the woman suddenly stood in front of me.

"I know you're a bat hunter, but please don't kill these bats." The woman pleaded, her voice compassionate.

"My job is to hunt venomous bats and burn them, and that's to protect everyone." My tone was a little cold, but also full of pride.

"But they have souls, and they're all my children." The woman stepped forward and cried out while holding an iron cage covered with a sheet.

I was stunned, why did the woman say that these poisonous bats were her children, could it be that she was already crazy? It's not surprising that this world is crazy.

"These bats know their home in the orphanage, they know me," the woman continued, "a year ago, when I was taking the children out for a picnic, on the way back we were attacked by a group of black bats, and the children were all infected on that occasion. ”

"I took them back to the orphanage, and after a few days they became the same as they are in bed now, but after half a month, bats gradually flew here, and I was scared at first, but then I found out that the number of bats flying in was exactly the same as the number of children in the orphanage, and they all tried to enter the room on the second floor after they came in, they seemed to know this place, they seemed to know me......"

"Maybe it's your delusion, you just miss your children too much." I interrupted the woman.

"It's not like that! The bats didn't hurt me, and I then brought all the children's belongings and put them in front of them, and the bats flew to different items, and no bat chose duplicate items as if they were the owners of them. ”

"I determined which bat was which child based on the items, and then I brought in drawings of several of the children, and the corresponding bats were also recognized."

"And these bats can recognize my handwriting," said the woman, taking out a blank piece of paper and a pen on which the words "drink water" were written, and then holding it to a bat, "you see, they can understand that they have the souls of children in their bodies." ”

Indeed, I saw it, and although I was shocked, the bat did drink the water as it was meant on paper.

Seeing that I seemed to believe her words, the woman's emotions eased a little.

"But they still get the virus after all." I said this to the woman as I left, without taking the bat from the basement, because I didn't know for a moment how to understand everything the woman said.

When I got back to my lodgings, I took out the poisonous bats I had hunted today in my backpack, and instead of throwing them aside as I had done before, I carefully placed them on a clean white cloth.

For the first time, I felt that these poisonous bat carcasses were bloody, and for the first time, I felt nauseous and vomiting when I smelled the incineration chamber.

Two mornings later, I took some bread and water and went to the orphanage again, where I saw the woman struggling in the basement.

"What are you doing here? I'm not going to let you kill these bats, they're my children. "The woman was a little excited when she saw me, she was very unwelcoming, and said with difficulty.

"I'll bring you some food and water."

"Please, don't kill these bats." The woman stared at me and begged.

I nodded and said nothing.

I stayed in the orphanage, talking to the woman for the last time, and by the time the sun went down, the woman was completely unable to move, and the virus infection was in its final stages.

Before leaving, I made a clean bed in the basement, put the woman on the bed, and gently kissed the woman on the cheek. Then I sorted out the cage with a dozen bats and held it in my hand, and I didn't dare look into the eyes of the woman, she must have hated me very much, hated me for not keeping my promises.

When I got home, instead of killing the poisonous bats, I left them in my bedroom and locked the bedroom door.

The next day, I stayed at home and didn't go out to work, and in the afternoon a man came to my house, he was a security screener. A security screener is a kind of government employee who can live in the central area of the government, without worrying about food and clothing, and the chance of being infected is also very low.

"You have done a good job in the past year, you have made a great contribution to the government, the government has decided to promote you to a security inspector, you can now go with me to live in the central area of the government." The security officer man came and went straight to the point and said to me.

"Okay, I'll clean up." I responded to him, and for some reason I thought of the woman in the orphanage and the bat she called a child.

I followed the security officer man to the central government area and entered a towering building. The windows of the building were covered with a layer of barbed wire, and the interior was full of all kinds of living facilities, and when I entered, some people in the building were drinking coffee, some chatting, and some were sorting out papers, as if there had never been a poisonous bat plague.

After the security officer showed me to recognize my desk, he gave me the key to the room where I lived, room 621 on the 16th floor, and asked me to put my luggage in the room first.

"The office and residence of the chief of the central government area are on the 16th floor, so you should pay more attention and behave well." The security officer man gave me a little sly and left.

I quickly took the elevator to the sixteenth floor, walked in the corridor, observed the room numbers on both sides of the corridor, and soon found my room, I took out the key and was about to insert it into the keyhole of the room door, with a little force, the room door opened by itself. I didn't think much about it and went into the room, turned on the light, and saw an iron cage with a poisonous bat, I was curious, but I felt that something was wrong, so I walked to the door again and looked at the number on the door of the room, it turned out to be number 612. Although I had a lot of doubts about the poisonous bats in the room, I still found room 621 first and put my luggage in.

After putting away my luggage, I went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor, found the previous security officer man, and told him about room 612. The security officer man whispered to me, "At that time, the chief placed it in the room, and the chief thought that the poisonous bat had the soul of his daughter, who was bitten by a poisonous bat a month ago. ”

"How could a poisonous bat be his daughter?" I asked the security officer the man, but he was actually scared to know the answer.

"At first, the chief was only judged by the behavior of the poisonous bat, thinking that it was his daughter, and everyone would be suspicious, but the government research institute recently concluded that the poisonous bat ingested the victim's soul when it bit a person, except for the difference in physical body, the poisonous bat that bites a person is completely no different from the bitten person, and the bat that bites a person generally does not bite a second person, which also confirms from the other side that the bat that bites a person lives in the body of a human soul."

"So why don't you tell the people about it?"

"But they're not human after all!" The security screener man sighed.

Hearing the words of the security officer man, I was in a trance, and my mind thought of the woman in the orphanage and the bat she called a child.

"I'm leaving, going back to where I came from." I said lightly to the security officer man.

"What do you say, such an opportunity is rare, and the next promotion will not be until half a year later!" The security officer man was surprised and persuaded me.

"I've figured it out, thank you for your help."

With that, I took my luggage and left the building.

When I got home, I saw a bat circling around the house near my house, sometimes wailing, sometimes stopping to bite the iron door of the house. I knew that the bat was the soul of the woman in the orphanage, or rather, that bat was herself.

I walked into my house and the bat saw me and immediately lunged at me, slamming my protective mask hard. I let the bats hit, opened the door, opened the bedroom door, and the big bat outside the room flew in and saw the intact "child" in the cage, so he docked next to the cage, gently rubbing the little bat in the cage with his wings.

I opened the cage and the bats inside flew out and mingled with the big bat outside.

The big bat and other small bats didn't leave my home, but flew around inside and outside the house.

I could see their happy faces, and I smiled.

I walked to the middle of the street outside the house, took off my protective suit, and after a while, a bat flew in the distance and bit my arm.

I went back to the house, smiled at the bats inside, and then lay quietly on the bed in my bedroom, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

Four days later, I saw my house again and the swarm of bats in the house guarding my body, and they also saw me.

We chirped to each other a few times and flew out of the house together and into the distance, like mom and dad with a group of children, happy and content.
