Chapter 2: Advent

"Mom, what's going on over there?" A teenager who was dressed very fashionably and was not old next year, but wanted to pretend to be in his twenties, asked Ms. Sun Meiling anxiously.

"It should be fine, they said they would come back later."

Although Sun Meiling said so, in fact, they couldn't come back...... She's not sure either......

Sun Meiling divorced her husband three years ago, her two children live with her, and now the only boy in the family is just a child who has just entered high school, she doesn't know what to do. That's a long way to go...... Something unexpected...... I can't imagine it. A housewife who has been a housewife for 20 years can only worry and worry about this large-scale disaster.

Zhang Yao felt a little relaxed after listening to his mother's words, for him, his sister was the only person he cared about, and the other was naturally his mother. Now that I heard that my sister was safe for the time being, I suddenly felt that I was not so scared. Emotions relaxed...... I have time to think about something else......

"Mom, I want to go out and "investigate the military situation". ”

"What to check, it's not messy enough, isn't it, wait for your sister to come back at home." This bear child......

"But without a signal, we don't know what's going on outside." Zhang Yao looked at his mother with an innocent face.

Sun Meiling felt that what the bear child said made some sense, and besides, she had never been a person who held the child in custody, she was just too worried just now. So he took out some money from his pocket and gave it to Zhang Yao, instructing:

"You can go out, buy some food and come back. Remember, I have to be back in an hour. ”

"Haole~" Zhang Yao casually put on a coat and left.

On the other side, all the members of Han Chen's family have also arrived, and Han Chen is missing. After listening to his wife's words, Han Zhi, the head of the family, analyzed:

"Don't worry about my son's problem for the time being, after all, there hasn't been an earthquake there yet, and it's only a matter of time before he comes back. We should now be worried about whether this earthquake will spread......"

Han Yanran didn't quite agree with his father's words, frowned and said:

"He can barely do it alone, but add another Zhang Huiyi......" The latter words were not spoken, but everyone also guessed what Han Yanran meant by this. Zhang Huiyi is too weak, afraid that she will affect Han Chen.

After Zhou Min heard this, she was silent, in normal times, she might like a quiet daughter-in-law like Zhang Huiyi, but now...... It can only be said that every mother loves her children the most, and when danger comes, she thinks more about her children.

Han Zhi glanced at them and said solemnly:

"Zhang Huiyi was brought out by that kid, so she must be brought back safely! Put away your prejudices, it's not certain who will help whom. ”

Han Yanran felt a little embarrassed, Han Chen was the youngest member of their family, and it was inevitable that he would be a little concerned and chaotic. As an older sister, although Han Yanran often bullies her younger brother on weekdays, she has no less care than she should have. She is not hostile to Zhang Huiyi, but hopes that she is standing next to her younger brother now is a stronger person.

As for Ms. Zhou Min, she is quite an open-minded mother, and when she heard her husband say this, she suddenly remembered that Zhang Huiyi was a medical student, and maybe she could really help Han Chen, so she didn't have to worry about it, and her son liked it.

They are now discussing and discussing, unaware that this is just the beginning of the disaster...... Soon, not only will there be no signal, but even water and electricity will be cut off, and the danger will no longer be natural disasters but human beings......

――***――

City C was one of the hardest-hit areas, with far more deaths and infections than other urban areas. Naturally, the state also sent the most rescue personnel, including some scientific researchers, who specialized in studying the causes of the disaster.

But what they didn't expect was that before they could find out the cause of the earthquake, new and thorny problems arose. Most of the people who returned from the rescue had infection and fever within 1 to 2 hours after treatment......

At a temporary research institute in City C, several elderly victims were tied to their beds, and they still had multiple abrasions on their bodies. But if you look closely, it feels weird...... How could an injured old man have so much strength and need to be tied up with ropes!

"What are the observations?"

The person who spoke wore a hat and mask, and saw only a pair of wise eyes staring straight at the patient. Obviously, this is a doctor.

The assistant next to him pushed his glasses and said quickly and clearly:

"About 3 hours after the infection and fever, the patient's vitality began to weaken, the eyes were sunken, the pupils were dilated, and the iris was significantly twice as large as normal, until there were no signs of life. Within 10 minutes, the flesh quickly decayed, the nails turned black, but ...... But he "lived" again, and his strength was twice as strong as usual. ”

After saying this, the assistant took a hard breath.

The doctor looked at him suspiciously, "What else, say it......"

The assistant said with a sad face, "Dr. Luo, as soon as our personnel pass by, he becomes more irritable, and based on observations, it is inferred that they should be feeding on living creatures."

The person who was called Dr. Luo took a deep look at the assistant, and then returned to the laboratory without stopping and continued his research.

Dr. Luo is one of the top medical doctors in the country, he is 65 years old and still doing research at the National Research Institute, this disaster should not have been for him, but what happened later was completely out of control, and he had to be asked to solve it. But now, even Dr. Luo has no clue, it all happened too suddenly.

In-laboratory ......

"This infection is obviously caused by the earthquake, and all the infected people are all victims of the earthquake, so I suspect that some unknown virus may have leaked out."

"It is very likely, but other reasons are not ruled out, and we can find the answer from those few people who have mutated."

…………

When Dr. Luo came in, he saw that there was a heated discussion. They hadn't slept well for days, but there was no way, they had to solve the problem, otherwise more and more people would mutate.

He gathered everyone together for a short meeting.

"What we can know is that the lower the immunity of this disease, the more likely it is for people to mutate, and we have not found this condition in young adults for the time being......" Dr. Luo was interrupted by the previous assistant before he could finish speaking.

"Oh no, Dr. Law! One of our technicians was accidentally bitten. ”

"Let's disinfect it."

"It's too late, it's like them 10 minutes after being bitten...... the assistant gasps.

Dr. Luo was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously, "I have to add a little more now...... They are very contagious......"

"And! A few people between the ages of 40 and 50 have just been sent, and they have also mutated......"

Dr. Luo......

"Can't you just finish it all at once!"

"Doctor...... I came running......"
