At the toll booth in the south of the city, what appeared to me was a scene that I had never seen before -- the toll booth where more than a dozen vehicles entered and exited was now blocked with sandbags and barbed wire, and standing behind these obstacles were rows of military and police officers with loaded guns, not only loaded with live ammunition, but also the front row of troops wearing chemical protective clothing and gas masks.

And inside the toll station, from a distance, it looks crowded with people, the crowd exudes all kinds of sounds, there are Zhang San Li Si shouting, there are various accents of scolding mothers, there are women and children crying, in a night, the scene of the toll station is so chaotic that it makes people's scalp numb.

I saw a few lines scrolling on the LED screen at the toll booth: "The city government has now raised the alert level to yellow due to the spread of a new cold virus." Experts advise the public to minimize the time spent outside, do not go to crowded places, keep clean and hygienic, and if there are patients with fever or dehydration symptoms, please go to the nearest emergency clinic immediately. "This announcement was made a few days ago, but no one paid much attention to it at the time, because most people didn't know what the yellow alert was, and since the government and experts didn't come out to say anything, everyone didn't take it seriously.

The cold that spread this summer was a few days ago, and many people in our unit suffered from it. However, the vast majority of people did not take the cold seriously, so similar anti-epidemic warnings have been issued to various communities, but schools are still in session, and departments and businesses are still working as usual.

Now, I suddenly have a super dreadful feeling, because I think of Will Smith's old film "I Am Legend", isn't this scene in front of me just like in the movie?

The announcement on the LED screen of the toll booth seems to be still at the alert level of two or three days ago, but the blockade of the military and police here makes it easy to see that the situation has changed dramatically.

At this time, there was also a man who looked like an official, standing on an armored car behind the barricade, holding a megaphone and shouting hoarsely, and I heard him shouting not to panic, not to be confused, not to listen to rumors, and to consciously accept inspections. He had probably been shouting for a long time, and his voice was already hoarse, but it was obvious that his shouting did not have a good effect, and from a distance, the surging crowd was still filled with panic, if it weren't for the military police and obstacles arranged here at the toll booth, the crowd would have rushed by.

"What's going on?" I couldn't help but mutter, I don't know if to ask Li Suo next to me, or myself. The scene in front of me transcended my life experience, and I knew nothing but all sorts of bad premonitions that were messing around in my head.

Li Suo was still so calm, she just took out the phone and didn't know who she was calling, she spoke English, and my English level was limited to understanding the American scolding, so I didn't know what she said. I just turned my face sideways and looked at the way she frowned, and I thought she was really beautiful. It's not that I don't have the heart to look at beautiful women at such a time, but she is really beautiful.

The big Cherokee with no window panes that Lisso and I was sitting in was parked outside the toll booth, and no one seemed to notice us. In fact, the military and police who maintained order only avoided the crowd from pouring out, but did not mean to prevent people from entering.

The scene was noisy, the crowd was chaotic, and my heart was chaotic. Under the strong maintenance of the military and police, the scene was still able to maintain relative order, and the people who had passed the quarantine walked out of the toll booth one after another, and waiting outside the toll booth were various types of vehicles with special signs. There are buses, small trucks, and some people get on these cars after leaving the toll booth, and before getting on the bus, they inevitably bargain with the car owner. Some people came out of the toll booth in their own cars, and they sped off the cars parked on the side of the road to solicit business.

Li Suo never turned off the engine, because the car was stolen, and it was very troublesome as soon as the engine was turned off, and I found that she had a tendency to continue walking towards the city, so I instinctively asked: "Do you want to go into the city?" ”

Li Suo didn't have time to think and said, "Well, why don't you go in?" ”

I pointed to the dense crowd and said, "But you see so many people coming out. ”

Li Suo thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "There are many people who come out, do you have to follow them out?" ”

I'm speechless, a lot of times we're used to going with the flow, basically the logic is blind, and even sad a lot of the time, but my intuition tells me that, at least at this time, it's right to go with the flow. Li Suo has obviously been abroad for a long time, and she pays more attention to independent thinking, but this is not a foreign country after all, in fact, I want to persuade her not to enter the city.

Li Suo paused for a moment, and then said, "I have my own business to do when I enter the city." Or are you down here? ”

I did want to get off here, but I quickly shook my head and said, "I'm going into town too." ”

Li Suo turned his head to look at me and said in the same tone I had just said, "But, you see so many people are coming out. ”

I laughed and said, "Your Mandarin really sucks...... I'm going to go into the city, and no matter what happens, I'm going to find my family, I'm going to find my sister. You heard me call her, and even though she's a police officer, I'm honestly worried about her. ”

Li Suo nodded, and slowly drove the car to the toll booth. The military and police guarding there saw that the car wanted to enter the city, and there was no intention of blocking or inspecting it, they were very busy and nervous, they had to deal with the people who wanted to get out of the city like a tide, and they really didn't have time to pay attention to a car that was going up the river and wanted to enter the city. In fact, the toll booth here is only blocked in the direction of going out of the city, because the scene is still in relative order, there are few people, and there are no cars coming to the road into the city. So, the police and military in charge of the guard just gave way to the position of a car and let us in.

According to my observations, there should be no Li Di among those policemen, and none of the female policemen at the scene are more than 165 tall, while Li Di has 175.

When Li Suo drove into the passage into the city, the toll booth looked farther and farther away, and then she suddenly asked a little depressed: "Why didn't anyone stop us from entering the city?" ”

I looked at her strangely, and I didn't think it was a problem, so I naturally said, "That's not their responsibility." ”

Li Suo shook his head and said incomprehensibly, "But they serve the public, at least, they should explain to us why so many people are rushing out of the city, or give us some warning." ”

I said, "You are an overseas compatriot who grew up in a capitalist country and is not even pure-blooded, and it is difficult for me to explain such a thing to you," and then I said, "Probably they are too busy." ”

Li Suo shook her head vigorously, saying that she could not accept my point of view, but I was not interested in convincing her.

We stopped talking, and Li Suo drove back into the city. It's a strange feeling, just separated by a guardrail, with a crowd of people and traffic on one side, a horn blaring, a motorcycle in the spot, and a road next to it that is empty and unobstructed.

It's late at this time, but the night in the city is never lonely, and at a glance, the whole city is still so brightly lit. Many cities boast of their night scenes, and the same is true of the city, but a person like me who is a little family thinks how much electricity does it cost? And I looked up at the sky and found that the night sky seemed to be smeared with a strange layer of red, the red was not very obvious, but such a sky, such a scene, there was a very strange feeling.

The traffic lights on the road are still working, however, the vehicles going out of the city have completely disobeyed the traffic rules, some cars have crashed into each other because of the rush to the road, some people get out of the car and quarrel, some people stand on the side of the road to call the insurance company to come out of the scene, the car behind is honking hard, and the people who can't wait are carrying their own things, and they walk forward. Many cars have started to drive from the sidewalk, and from time to time there is a scream of sudden braking.

There is no traffic police, no auxiliary police, compared to the toll booth, the urban area is a bit chaotic.

And Li Suo's car did not go too far, that is, a few stops away, because of the constant traffic accidents and crowded crowds at the intersection, and the roads that did not care about entering and exiting were all blocked.

Li Suo didn't honk his horn, didn't get angry, didn't get impatient, and still said very calmly: "It seems that I'm going to get off here." I don't think we're going to stop by. The implication is that each has his own way.

I understand that even though she had just kissed me on the cheek, it was nothing more than a courtesy for Westerners. At the end of the day, I wouldn't have anything to do with a girl like that. Enough was enough, I looked at the crowd outside and suddenly asked, "Do you really have nothing to say to me?" In any case, we are in a shared adversity, although I have never been in the habit of inquiring about other people's secrets, but in front of this scene, do you really have nothing to say to me? ”

Li Suo turned her head to look at me, her eyes were ice blue, so when she looked at me quietly like this, there was a very clear feeling, she seemed to be organizing words, and it seemed that she was just looking at me like this. I also looked at her, and I knew that we should not have the opportunity to meet again in the future, such a beautiful girl, if we can take a second look, we should take a second look. After a while, Li Suo said to me, "Lee, I don't know how to answer your question, because what I know is different from what we saw before and now. At first I thought that the people we saw at the chemical plant were people with Alagoas manic syndrome, but if so, I would say that we had been tracking this sudden rabies virus, and we had found it in many countries around the world. But the resurrection of the dead that we have seen before is beyond what we have learned, so I don't know how to answer you. I called the professor, but he didn't get through, I don't know where he is, maybe if I find him, I'll know how to answer you. However," she paused, saying that speaking such long Chinese in one breath was a very difficult thing for her, and after the pause she said to me: "I just made a phone call back to England, and my friend told me that now London is in chaos, and many people are going crazy and biting people everywhere." Li, it's very unsafe in the city, so after finding my sister, let's find a place to hide. It was, perhaps, a disaster. ”

Maybe, I can say for sure, this is a disaster.

"Maybe we won't see each other again." I took a deep breath, stretched out my hand and said, "I hope you have a safe journey, in fact, you can do what you can do, forget it if you can't do it, after all, your life is important." "I didn't ask for her phone either, since it's destined to pass by, don't dwell on it.

Li Suo smiled, and instead of shaking my hand, she leaned sideways, reached out and hugged me, and said, "Good luck to all of us." ”
