Chapter 16: The Virus Strikes
Xia Lu's words made Bai Siyun fall into a deep silence.
In all fairness, she knew that what Xia Lu said was right, but she still couldn't accept it in her heart.
It's just that it can only be like this, what can she do? She's not the one who can control everything, is she?
It's just that although she extricates herself like this, Bai Siyun still has a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart, but she has no other way but to bear it silently.
Time passed day by day, I don't know how long it took, the network gradually couldn't hold up without anyone repairing it, and everyone's network was slowly disconnected.
If the state hadn't specially sent people to repair the network, they would have lived a primitive life of being off the Internet by now.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
As Xia Lu said, after the extreme cold has passed, it will be a scorching heat, and the sun is like a human face, and there is news about sunburners on the Internet every day.
And in this difficult situation, the snow that was once more than a dozen stories thick has also turned into water.
The people in the interior are better, at least their drainage system is fine.
Although the days of surviving in the flood were difficult, they were barely able to survive.
The inhabitants of Linhai and the island are different, there is already snow water, coupled with sea water, and soon, a flood can easily destroy their homes.
Xia Lu stood in front of the window, looking at the monstrous waves outside, in addition to being shocked, he was glad that he was fully prepared this time.
He remembers very well that in his previous life, without his advance prediction, the country could not respond, and although there were follow-up measures, it also lost a lot.
Because of the lack of timely migration, many innocent people were drowned.
Although the Xia Lu family was fortunate to escape, it was not much better.
The most intuitive manifestation is probably that the Xia family has changed from the original big family to a member of the refugees, and has also been ridiculed by many people.
"How long will it take for this flood to end?"
Bai Siyun was also standing in front of the window, although there was worry on her face, but there was not much, and she also knew about the migration of Director Chen, so she was relieved at the moment.
Xia Lu looked at Bai Siyun, and he felt relieved that he had never felt before, but he didn't show it, after all, the matter of feelings still has to be done slowly.
He thought about it distractedly, but shook his head on his face, and said, "Not necessarily, I think this flood will last for a while, and I heard that the flood rushed inland, and a lot of land was flooded. β
"Inland? Didn't the original prediction say that the inland would be fine? β
"That's what I said, but nowβanyway, things have come out, and I don't know how the above plans to arrange it."
"So, do you have any ideas?"
Bai Siyun looked at Xia Lu with a little expectation on her expression, she actually wanted to go over to help those innocent people, but she also knew that she was eating Xia Lu now and living in Xia Lu, so she really didn't have the face to bring this up.
Xia Lu understood Bai Siyun's thoughts, but he didn't approve, he looked at Bai Siyun seriously, and said seriously: "Bai Siyun, I know what you want to do, but I don't agree." β
"Why?"
"Sometimes, your help will only make them feel justified, even greedy."
This was the case in the previous life, Bai Siyun and he worked hard to build a base and help them as much as possible, but unfortunately the people in the base did not have the slightest gratitude, Bai Siyun suffered a lot at that time, and later got used to it.
As long as Xia Lu thought of the past, he felt as if he had swallowed a hundred flies alive, and he only felt disgusting.
Bai Siyun sensitively noticed Xia Lu's weirdness, she tilted her head and said, "Xia Lu, do you know something?" β
"I don't know."
Xia Lu shook his head and said, "Okay, this weather, even if you want to go out, there is no way." β
"Butβ"
Bai Siyun was silent halfway through speaking, she also knew that this was unrealistic, unless she had a submarine, but the submarine might not be able to supply her needs, right?
The words have already been said here, and Bai Siyun has nothing to say, so he has to nod and put the matter down.
The flood didn't come long ago, it was probably just brewing for the virus to follow, so it only appeared for nearly a month before disappearing again, so quickly that people couldn't help but wonder if it was a nightmare.
It's just that after the flood disappears, it doesn't mean that the heat is over, and in the following time, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, getting hotter and hotter, and the heat makes people breathless.
If you hold an egg in your hand, but stand outside for two minutes, the egg will be cooked, which shows how hot the weather is now.
When everyone else was complaining, only Xia Lu suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart, quietly waiting for the arrival of the zombie era.
"Xia Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Siyun looked at Xia Lu's restless appearance, a little curious.
Xia Lu coughed lightly and shook her head, not telling her that this important day had come.
"Hey, look outside, what's that?"
Bai Siyun took a wrong look, but saw that the trees outside moved, and there was a gust of wind blowing!
Xia Lu knows that the virus is coming!
"Bai Siyun!"
As soon as Xia Lu called Bai Siyun, he felt dizzy, and the whole person fainted directly, in addition to him, Bai Siyun, Niu Shuo and others also fainted.
By the time everyone came to their senses again, it was already evening.
Xia Lu closed his eyes and felt that his body had changed, he was still the ability of that space, it hadn't changed at all, it had just strengthened his spatial ability.
And everyone else has also awakened their own abilities, for example, at this time, there is a small flame floating in the hand of a security guard, and he excitedly said: "This, what is this?" β
Without waiting for everyone to be happy, Xia Lu poured a basin of cold water over: "Are you happy now?" β
"Xia Lu?"
"Why did you get the ability, do you know why?"
"Isn't this due to the weather?"
Xia Lu shook his head, laughing at the man's innocence, and he said lightly: "You should have read the apocalyptic novels, right?" Even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it, right? The ability corresponds to the appearance of zombies, and your ability is to deal with zombies. β
As he spoke, he pointed to the outside of the villa: "Do you know how many people are in this city?" At the beginning of the migration, it was not to move the entire city away, and at least ninety percent of the remaining people were zombies! I ask you, are you afraid? β
