In the early hours of the morning, the woman returned in a dejected tin jar containing her husband's ashes.

Two more days passed.

At night.

Somewhere in the shelter, there was always the grinding sound of a thin tug, occasionally accompanied by a creaking sound.

The person in the adjacent compartment was awakened.

"What sound?"

He listened with his ears pricked up for a while, as if it was coming from next door from the man who had died only two days before.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night!" He cursed, rolled over and tried to continue sleeping.

The voice next door paused for a few seconds, but I didn't expect it to start again.

He was angry: "Stinky, what kind of plane are you doing, so that you don't make noise, don't make noise, don't listen to people who don't understand people?" ”

When he got out of bed and found his slippers, he turned on the small light in his cubicle and lifted the curtain: "Fuck, you can't ...... me anymore" The voice choked in his throat and couldn't speak anymore.

The dim light of the cubicle casts on the opposite side, and a terrifying scene is brought into view.

The woman, whose upper body was naked, collapsed on the floor beside the bed with her eyes staring, and there were overturned water glasses on the ground, and the water was scattered all over the floor.

A dozen mutant rats with red eyes were lying on her corpse and nibbling on it.

The woman's stomach had already been bitten open with a large hole, and the intestines inside had been ripped out by mice.

One of them, disturbed by the movement, jumped onto the bed with the intestines in his mouth, and the intestines were ripped out of the woman's stomach and hung on the side of the bed.

"Ahh

The mutant rat was frightened and wanted to run, but he couldn't get the meat in his mouth, so he scurried around with a large piece of bitten human flesh in his mouth.

The shelter is "lively" again.

"Mom!"

"Something has come past me,! Why is this mutant rat so big! ”

These mutant rats are even bigger than the ones they usually encounter, and their bite force is amazing, and they can even run around with half a human arm in their mouths.

"! Coming at me, ahhhh ”

"Quick, kill it, don't let it run."

For a moment, the shelter was overturned.

Half an hour later.

The staff frowned, crouching on the ground looking for the remains of the corpse that had been dragged everywhere by the rats.

The rats that had been killed were neatly stacked on the ground.

People all watched this scene with calm faces.

For no other reason, the woman's corpse looked exactly the same as the man's corpse the day before yesterday.

It's only been two days, and a living person has died inexplicably.

Even if they have no sympathy, they will also realize that something is wrong at this time.

"You say, it can't be a contagion, right?"

"No, it won't. Don't, don't scare me. ”

"Is it a contagious problem now? Look at those mutant rats, they actually eat human corpses, and we still hunt rats every day to eat them, so don't we eat them indirectly......"

"Vomit - don't say it, vomit - "

But someone's brain circuit is different, an old man stretches out his hand to scratch at those mutant mice on the ground.

"What are you doing?" The staff hastened to stop it.

The old man did not stop his movements, he grabbed the rats one by one and stuffed them into the bag.

"You don't want it anyway, so you might as well give it to me."

"Old man, are you crazy?!" Someone screamed, "Those rats have just eaten human flesh!" ”

The old man was not only not crazy, but also very sober: "If you eat human flesh, you will eat human flesh, and if you don't have to eat, you will starve to death, let me eat people." ”

In the last days, I can't care about dignity, decency, evil or disgusting, and everything that can be eaten and what can't be eaten is stuffed into my stomach.

The bark of the grass roots outside was dug up in the heat and cold, and now the only way to survive is to catch rats and bats to eat. If the rats were gone that day, they would have to eat people.

When the staff heard that he was going to take it back to eat, they quickly put down the stones in hand and went to grab the old man's bag.

"Hurry up and put it down, these rats are dirty, they don't know what viruses they are carrying, and now they are still eating corpses, and there are more viruses on their bodies, so they can't eat them."

The old man didn't listen at all, and ran away.

The base takes what happens at the shelter very seriously.

The woman's body was sent to the laboratory, and staff were immediately sent in to disinfect it.

"Where's the stuff?"

The staff was tasked that everything in this compartment was to be removed and destroyed.

But he was now standing in front of the empty cubicle with only a tattered bed, and he was stunned.

No one answered him.

The staff had no choice but to shout on the spot: "Whoever took what is here, send it back quickly!" ”

No one came forward.

The staff was anxious and angry: "You have to be greedy for this little cheapness, that woman was infected and died, are you not afraid of being infected when you take her things?" Hurry back and we're going to destroy it. ”

"What, what's sick?" Someone was cowardly.

"How do I know what kind of disease it is, I'm still researching, these two people died so miserably, it's a bad disease anyway, you took it?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and then pulled out a pair of women's leather shoes from the plastic bag behind him. All she had on her feet was a pair of sandals that she had picked up, and the broken parts were tied with rope.

The staff asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

The man shook his head and muttered, "No, I only grabbed this pair of shoes." ”

"Whoever else took it, hurry up!"

The staff shouted at the top of their voices for a long time, and only a few bits and pieces came back.

Three days later, the base laboratory confirmed that the virus had been detected inside the female corpse and performed experiments on mice.

In the first 72 hours of infection with the virus, there was nothing unusual about the mouse.

After 72 to 84 hours, I began to be covered with pus, and I had difficulty breathing.

In the 96th hour of infection, the mouse had convulsions and difficulty breathing, and after this symptom, he struggled and died within a quarter of an hour.

Confirm the virus.

The sample was immediately sent to the drug laboratory.

After careful consideration at the top level, in order to prevent the spread of the virus, the entire public shelter of the base was cordoned off.

"Let us out!"

"Why are we locked up?"

"That's it, we're fine, why don't you let us out."

Residents living in shelters blew up.

When I woke up early in the morning, I dragged my weak body every day to go out to find food, but I found that the door of the shelter had already been locked, and a cordon had been drawn outside, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

"There is an order from the base that due to the presence of infectious viruses in the shelter, in order to prevent the spread of the virus, the shelter will be temporarily closed, and the unsealing time is unknown. In the meantime, you'll stay here, and someone will bring you three meals a day. ”

"What? Infectious virus! Is it the couple from the other day? ”

"Oh my God, it's a contagion! If there is a contagion, why are we still locked up! ”

"Lock us up and don't let us out, isn't that sending us to death?!"

"The lives of those people outside are fate, but our lives are not?"

"Let us out!"

At this moment, an even more desperate scream rang out.

"Help! The man is coughing, is he infected! ”

The crowd dispersed at once, and in the middle stood a man who was covering his mouth and coughing quietly, and on the back of his bare hand, there were red bumps that were exactly the same as those of the couple who had died before.
