Chapter 18: Black River City
Qi Yan cautiously opened the door of his house and quietly walked to his room.
"Ah Yan, you're back." Suddenly, a voice sounded, which frightened Qi Yan's heart.
"Ah...... Brother, I'm reading the newspaper. Qi Yan squeezed out a smile and lowered the brim of his hat a little,
Qi Yuan looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" Hey, Ah Yan, why do you wear a hat? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go back to my room first." Qi Yan lowered his head and walked briskly back into the room.
"Mysterious."
Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand. The chairs and floors around him were also covered with newspapers.
"Found it!" Qi Yuan's face was overjoyed, and there was indeed news of Heihe City in the newspaper.
This report was already two weeks ago, and after Qi Yuan read it word for word, his brows furrowed slightly. The newspaper said that it was more serious than he thought, and that the flu had killed several people. The government appealed to the population to stay away from the area around Heihe City to avoid more serious consequences.
"To go or not to go?"
Qi Yuan made a decision almost without thinking about it. He originally liked excitement, otherwise he wouldn't have been a hacker.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door opened again, and her mother Wang Yan walked in with a blue cabbage, her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her face looked a little tired.
"Mom." Qi Yuan stood up.
Wang Yan suddenly smiled when he saw Qi Yuan, "A-Yuan." I bought your favorite pork ribs, you are just sick, and I will make up for you today. ”
Qi Yuan glanced at the vegetable basket that Wang Yan was carrying. It is indeed a heavy burden for his family to learn magic, and meat dishes are relatively expensive, so he rarely buys them. Occasionally, I bought some and ate them first with Qi Yuan, and Qi Xue sometimes rushed to eat some. Wang Yan and Qi Yan almost never moved their chopsticks.
"Mom, I'll carry it for you."
Qi Yuan followed into the kitchen, and said casually while helping to wash the vegetables: "Mom, what's wrong with my little sister lately, why do you often see that she is not at home." ”
"I don't know what's going on with that girl, the little girl's family runs around every day"
Wang Yan was a little angry when he said this, and complained to Qi Yuan. As if she had suddenly thought of it, she said, "That's right, A-Yuan." I've inquired in the past few days, and Lao Li and his family downstairs plan to move out. You see...... If the people who came to the house last time were pressing, we would have sold the house. happened to rent the room of Lao Li's house. ”
"Mom." Qi Yuan smiled, "Don't worry about it, I've already solved that matter." ”
"Solved?" Wang Yan was stunned, and his face showed surprise.
"Well, my ranking in the academy's assessment this time is not bad, and I have been sent a lot of resources." Qi Yuan said with a smile, "By the way, I'm going out for a few days, and I'll come back in a few days." ”
"Well, that'll do. But be sure to be safe outside! ”
"Got it." Qi Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement, his heart warmed.
I was an orphan in my previous life, and I never experienced this feeling of being cared for.
It feels good.
……
Boom, boom.
On the speeding train, vendors selling lunch boxes and fruit are constantly shuttling up and down the aisle, loudly selling the contents of the carts.
Qi Yuan looked out the window expressionlessly, and the scenery outside quickly receded from in front of him.
"It's slow."
After taking the train for more than ten hours in a row, Qi Yuan already felt a little tired. The distance between Dulin City and Heihe City is actually only a few hundred kilometers, but the wilderness area railway between the cities is often destroyed by fierce beasts, so the speed of the train is generally not too fast.
"Ah Can, let's not go to Heihe, let's get off at the next stop. Isn't it time to go to that place now to look for death? ”
The two people in the next seat were discussing in low voices. Qi Yuan didn't turn his head, but pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"I heard a week ago that more than 100 people had died, and now who knows what happened inside. Lives matter. ”
"It's a dead city again, alas, ......"
Qi Yuan thought for a moment, it seemed that the situation in Heihe was even worse than what was written in the newspaper.
At this time, the radio on the train suddenly sounded: "Heihe City is coming, passengers who get off the train please prepare in advance." ”
A few minutes later, the train arrived at the station, Qi Yuan stepped off the train, and there were few people on the platform.
"Front! Stop now! ”
A military jeep drove over in a hurry and stopped in front of Qi Yuan. A tired soldier stepped out of the car and said solemnly to Qi Yuan: "This city has been blocked, and no one is allowed to enter. ”
Qi Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately showed an anxious look, "Sir, my family is in the city, you let me go in to see them!" ”
The soldier's face softened a little, but he still shook his head and said, "The disaster has spread severely, and now you are not allowed to enter or leave." It's a mandatory order, and I can't help it. ”
"Isn't it possible to make them wait for death inside?"
The soldier said indifferently: "Don't worry, the vaccine has been developed, and the first batch of vaccines has begun to be distributed, and the second batch will be delivered soon, and there will definitely be no accident in your family at that time."
"Really? That's great, that's great! I'm leaving! ”
Qi Yuan agreed to leave, and after the patrol car drove away, he avoided the patrol car and headed all the way towards the city.
It didn't take long to see the entrance of the highway into the city. The entrance had been sealed off by a huge iron gate, and many people were shouting from the iron gate.
"Let Lao Tzu out! Lao Tzu was not infected! ”
"Save my son! He's only five years old! ”
The guards were indifferent to this.
"Something isn't quite right."
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan also felt a little furious in his heart.
When it was on Earth, even when SARS and H7N9 broke out, the government did not exaggerate the isolation of all the citizens of a city. Right now, it's almost the same as in a post-apocalyptic movie. Such extreme measures will only be taken when the government has completely abandoned the city, and public opinion, business, and public complaints have not taken care of anything.
He thought it was just an ordinary flu here, so he came all the way here, who knew he would see such a scene.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuan didn't dare to run in casually, if he really put a lot of effort into it, and was infected with a serious illness and died, it would really be a self-defeating death, and if he wanted to be known, he would have to laugh off his big teeth.
Qi Yuan stayed from a distance and observed the situation inside. Slowly, he also discovered a lot of information.
"Isn't that right? It doesn't seem that serious. He wondered a little in his heart, whether it was from the army outside or the details of the people who were blocked inside, it didn't look like that kind of city-destroying disaster at all, and it didn't look like a big formation like blockading the whole city.
Qi Yuan thought for a long time, and suddenly patted his head in annoyance, "Hey! The country is ruled by a military junta, how can I forget! ”
Relatively speaking, the way the military rules the country is simpler and crude, and the most important thing for the head of the military is the stability of the country. Economic development, people's willingness, and so on can only be placed in the back row. It's no surprise that they've come up with such a big formation.
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan also had a plan in his heart: "No matter what, find a way to get a vaccine first." ”
