11. Sweet

On the main street of Ganlufang, there is an inn called desert style.

When the sun set, Zhu Lulu and Li Min sat on the terrace tea on the second floor of the inn.

Looking at the crowded crowd on the street below, they were all a little excited, and more stunned.

From this afternoon, at three o'clock, they are the owners of this inn.

Zhu Lulu and Li Min are middle school classmates, in their thirties, graduated from a prestigious university with a master's degree, and got married three years ago.

Zhu Lulu studied law, Li Min studied medicine, and both have a fairly stable career in Huajing, which can be said to be an enviable pair of academic tyrants and golden boys and girls.

For 2 million Chinese dollars, buying this inn is not cheap.

They got an inside message: after many years of hard work by Master Wuyu, the presiding officer of Tianlun Temple, a water diversion project from the Dangbu Xili Tuotuo River Basin with abundant water resources to the Red Sea Lake is about to pass the project approval.

The Red Gobi is the only place to pass through this water diversion project; Ganlufang and Tianlun Temple are the biggest beneficiaries.

Ganlufang, with the largest photovoltaic power station in the Red Gobi, complete infrastructure and valuable water sources, is the best and only choice for the water diversion project headquarters.

After the completion of the project, Ganlu Fang will become the most dazzling pearl in the wasteland oasis.

This news comes from the law firm where Zhu Lulu works.

The father of his college classmate was a senior partner in the firm. Their family, invested earlier and more in Ganlu Fang.

The housing prices in Huajing are too expensive, and although both of them are white-collar workers, they can't see the hope of owning a house of their own in Huajing.

Huajing's savings of 1.2 million yuan after five years of hard work are not enough to pay the down payment for a small apartment in the Sixth Ring Road.

They had to accept the financial support of their parents to make up enough for 2 million.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the living space of lawyers is getting narrower and narrower, and Zhu Lulu is facing a serious career crisis.

His firm has not recruited anyone for three years.

Basic legal consulting services have been completely replaced by artificial intelligence, and more than half of simple legal disputes can be resolved in online courts without going through the trial stage.

The cyber court can mobilize almost all the information resources in the database, and in the eyes of the virtual judge, each party is a transparent person, a data person, and the merits are clear.

Zhu Lulu's main job is to prepare legal documents for clients in the online court, weave logic and find rationality for their every behavior and every account transaction.

The prospect is that these young lawyers, who have not been in the industry for a long time, will also be gradually eliminated due to their lack of background, experience and connections.

Making this decision was a helpless choice for them.

After the Xuedun Festival, Zhu Lulu will stay and run the desert style inn.

Li Min returned to Huajing and worked for a few more years. She is a doctor and has not yet felt a career crisis.

When this side is stable and the water diversion project starts, she will come to Ganlufang to open a small clinic.

Maybe at that time, there was already a hospital in Ganlufang, and she could go to the hospital to work as a doctor.

That's when they can think about their children.

"We're not dreaming, are we?" Li Min held Zhu Lulu's hand, feeling a little unreal.

The desert style inn, covering an area of two acres, is a three-story brick and wood structure building, with 28 rooms and a restaurant.

In the backyard, there is also a small garden, and their own private space, a small two-story building.

Due to the Shoton Festival, the rooms in the main building are fully booked and the prices are very satisfactory.

In order to earn money, they rented out their own homes.

The restaurant was even fuller. Of the nine hundred and eighty-one roast whole sheep, eighteen were sold at noon, and twenty were ordered in the evening.

Li Min just calculated the account, and today's profit for a day is at least 20,000 Chinese dollars. Tomorrow's income, or another ten thousand.

Although such a high income is only available in the half month before and after the Shoton Festival, the time that can be operated with capital preservation will not exceed four months per year.

However, the future is brighter, brighter than in Huajing.

Nearby, a group of young people in racing suits were drinking and playing live streaming.

They had just finished a desert rally and had a good result.

The original owner of this inn also sat among them. He was an off-road enthusiast and immediately joined the team as soon as he got the money to sell the inn.

"We're dreaming." Zhu Lulu breathed deeply; "The air here is sweet."

"Sweet ......" Li Min smiled and took a sip, which was a little sweet.

Immediately, her expression became dull, staring straight at Zhu Lulu's hand.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Lulu felt his wife's mood change.

Li Min pulled his hand closer, flipped it, and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun. Then, tremblingly, she raised her palm.

"We ......" Li Min raised his head, his expression distorted, full of horror.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Zhu Lulu asked nervously.

"We ...... There's big trouble. ”

"How much trouble?"

"We're going to die." Two strings of tears slipped down Li Min's smooth face; "We're all going to die."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Lulu looked around nervously, for fear of alarming the surrounding guests.

"We're really going to die." Li Min raised her palm in front of her husband's eyes; "Look."

Zhu Lulu saw that his wife's fair palm had a little blue spot.

He grabbed his wife's hand and rubbed it a few times.

The blue spots seem to grow in the flesh and cannot be wiped off.

He looked at his hands again, and there were also a little blue spots on the palms, both of which he had.

"This is ......," Zhu Lulu looked at his wife.

Li Min nodded and shouted, "Why? Why is this happening......"

Next to him, the original innkeeper came over and asked with concern, "Brother, what's wrong?" Okay, don't quarrel. ”

His name was Yi Taiji, and he was a sturdy and bold man, wearing a rough but well-made knight's suit. His dream is far away, and it has been five years since he came to Ganlufang to run an inn from the south, and his heart has long been wild.

During this time, the assets of Ganlufang rose sharply, and the asking price of an inn of the same size on the main street has exceeded 2.5 million Chinese dollars.

Zhu Lulu contacted him relatively early, two million, which was an offer two months ago.

Yi Taiji knew that the price had risen, but he still sold the inn to them at the price of two million.

Zhu Lulu was embarrassed and offered to let him keep 10% of the shares.

Yi Taiji believes that Zhu Lulu and Li Min are more reliable, and they can run this desert wasteland inn that he has invested in for five years.

"Brother Yi, let's go over there and talk." Zhu Lulu forced himself to calm down, pulled his wife up, and walked to the corner of the terrace.

This is the door of the utility room, there is no tea house, it is more secluded.

"What's wrong?" Yi Taiji's face was red, just now, he drank a lot of wine.

"We're in big trouble." Zhu Lulu put his arms around his wife and said in a low voice; "She's a doctor, and she just found out that we're all infected."

"Infected with what?"

"Flowers of Hell."

"Infection...... Flowers of Hell. Yi Taiji's eyes widened.

"Be quiet." Zhu Lulu pulled him; "You look at your hands first, palms, is there a little blue spot?"

Yi Taiji raised his palm, looked at it and looked: "It's spotted." ”

Zhu Lulu raised his hand with his wife's hand; "The blue spot on the palm is the initial marker of infection with the Hellflower virus. I just said that the air here is sweet......"

"The sweet air is another characteristic of the Hellflower virus." Li Min also regained his senses; "Few people know this. I was joking, but I didn't expect ......"

"me!" Yi Taiji burst into a foul mouth, turned around and left.

"Brother Yi, where are you going?" Zhu Lulu grabbed him again.

"Tell everyone to run." Yi Taiji pointed to the east; "We have a convoy, so let's go with the two of you."

"It's too late." LI Min-dao; "Within a hundred kilometers, they were all infected. We, who have nowhere to run, should not run. ”

"Why?"

Li Min said: "If there are blue spots on the palms, it is 100% infected. There is no choice but to stay put and wait for rescue. If you run around, you will carry the Hell Flower Virus to more and farther places. ”

"Rescue, is it reliable?" Yi Taiji also thought clearly.

The first two Hell Flower epidemics occurred in a distant place, and although he didn't experience it personally, he was deeply concerned.

Unexpectedly, the third Hell Flower appeared beside him.

"I don't know." Li Min looked to the east; "I've heard that 'Luo' has made some breakthroughs in his research on the Hell Flower Virus. Our only hope is to stay alive until the moment help comes. The Motherland will not abandon us. ”

Zhu Lulu said: "The most important thing is not to cause panic. At least, it can't start with us. Once everyone knows the news, Ganlufang is afraid that it will be a big mess. ”

Yi Taiji thought in his heart: As soon as the news of the Hell Flower came out, in this world where information was extremely developed, everyone knew that they would not live for a few days...... Knowing that they will die, and knowing when they will die, what will they do? What will you do? What do you most want to do?

"Brother and sister, is your news reliable?" Yi Taiji glanced at the center of the terrace, the two platforms he had just left.

Among that group of young people, there is a pair of beautiful sisters, Zhao Min and Zhao Li.

He was fascinated by his sister Zhao Min.

The figure, the small waist, the long legs, the amount of wine......
