Black air sweeps across [natural disaster]

Chapter 11 - 20

Chapter 11

"Ms. Xia, please open the door. We are from the community work station."

After the press conference, Xia Zhi had not had time to get up and continue her work of stocking cooked food. The doorbell rang, and through the video phone access control, Xia Zhi saw several community workers with work IDs standing in front of the newly installed large iron gate at the entrance.

She thought for a while and asked Lao Mo to close the kitchen door. I first opened the two doors in the living room at home, then turned around and closed both doors. Then he walked to the newly opened entrance and opened the door at the entrance.

Community staff have seen too many things like treating the public corridor in the residential area as the entrance to their own home. They didn't have any curiosity about the layout of Xia Zhi's home. Instead, explain your intention directly.

"Have you seen the national press conference just now? Our community now needs to re-register the population. Please tell us the current permanent residents of your family. We need to verify the household registration here." Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at these three people

. A community worker nodded slightly: "Do I need to go in for home inspection?" The

leading worker was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. The woman shook her head slightly: "No need. Just tell me the number of people."

Xia Zhi thought for a while and called her husband He Tiansheng who had not returned home yet. She intuitively felt that this time of household registration must be to prepare for the subsequent provision of supplies.

After the community staff registered, they got off the elevator. It seems that they should start from the top and register one level at a time.

Such a household visit and registration will obviously lead to better management of subsequent buildings. Xia Zhi applauded this move with both hands.

In this life, the country has one month to prepare. Needless to say, at least the soldiers, police, firefighters, and grassroots workers who maintain order can be spared. With the intimidation of these people, the community after the outbreak of black energy should be safer than in the previous life.

At this time, Xia Zhi's cell phone received a message from her husband.

The message was short, using coded sentences that only two people knew.

He Tiansheng briefly talked about the research progress on black gas. Then he told Xia Zhi to take good care of himself. The new resettlement base is under construction. If there is a major black gas outbreak, evacuation work will be arranged as soon as possible.

After reading it, Xia Zhi had a big smile on his face.

Although there is currently no major progress in research on black gas. But the construction of the resettlement base means that the country has made two preparations.

The preparation time is still too short!

Otherwise, so many people would not be allowed to stay in high-rise buildings in big cities. Because high-rise buildings in metropolitan areas cannot produce materials. People who live in the mountains now envy the safety of living in high-rise buildings. But in fact, soon, they will know that it is better to go to the mountains to live.

——Xia

Zhi was just about to go home and continue working, when her cell phone rang again. This time it was not a message, but a phone call from Miss Liu downstairs.

Xia Zhi answered the phone, but before she could speak, Ms. Liu on the other end of the phone said anxiously: "Ms. Xia, did you watch the press conference just now? Oh my God! Is this the end of the world? I watch the website On the Internet and in my group, everyone is shouting that the end of the world is coming. My husband just ran downstairs and drove straight to the car, saying that he would pick up his relatives to live with us at home..." Ms. Liu on the other end of the phone obviously did not intend to let Xia Zhi mention it

. What advice. Calling her was more like a stress reaction after encountering a terrible thing.

Xia Zhi felt a little sympathetic to Miss Liu's situation, but she didn't want to be the target of the other party's spit. Moreover, Ms. Liu's husband did not comfort his wife at this time. Instead, he drove to pick up some relative. It’s really weird!

Xia Zhi complained a few words in his mind, but Xia Zhi did not directly hang up Miss Liu's call. Instead, he put a bucket of steamed buns that Lao Mo had just steamed into the space. While saying to Miss Liu, who had slowly regained her composure, he said: "Miss Liu, you should take a good look at what you bought at home now to see if it is enough for the family to eat for a while." After Xia Zhi made such a benevolent suggestion,

he Hang up the phone.

As a mother, she doesn't want to see troubled times coming, but Ms. Liu is still like this. This would be very bad for both her and her children! Because Xia Zhi has already seen that Miss Liu's husband is very unreliable!

——Compared

to someone like Miss Liu who has no idea but no master, the opinions on the Internet are much richer. But obviously, everyone agrees on one point. That means the end is coming!

This kind of talk about the end of the world has not been harmonized this time like before. Many people have shared practical posts on how families should prepare supplies when the apocalypse comes.

They also teach people how to grow indoors in big cities and how to make their own self-defense tools.

More people flocked to supermarkets to shop.

But no one shouted to go back to the village to farm to avoid the disaster.

Because this time, everyone knows that the underground is where the black energy appears. The higher it is from the ground, the safer it is.

Many wealthy people simply abandoned their large houses and moved into high-rise residences. Some wealthy people flew helicopters and fled into the mountains. Then, they were shocked to realize that all the mountains and plateaus in the country were directly controlled by the state. There, there are a lot of construction projects going on. And these uninvited guests who suddenly entered were not welcomed.

Of course, Xia Zhi didn't know about the treatment of the rich after they hid in the mountains.

She just hung up the phone with Miss Liu and browsed the Internet and social media for half an hour. After understanding the current direction of public opinion, I saw someone in the owner group sending out news that the supermarket downstairs was restocking.

Xia Zhi took a look and found that everyone was shouting to go shopping. She thought for a while, picked up her wallet, and followed the trend.

Then she discovered that there were many armed military guards standing at the entrance of the supermarket downstairs.

It seems that important units like supermarkets have been controlled by the state.

Also, if it were a capitalist, he would have closed the shop and run away with the goods.

The entrance of the supermarket was crowded with people, and everyone looked anxious. There are two large loudspeakers hanging at the door, loudly announcing: The supermarket has sufficient supplies and supplies. The purchase limit is one thousand yuan per person, and the purchase limit is one thousand yuan per person.

Such regulations dissatisfied many people who came here to prepare for the shopping spree. But being frightened by the soldiers with live ammunition around them, everyone could only line up to buy things in order.

But Xia Zhi feels that such regulations can at least ensure that many people can buy things. As long as you have supplies on hand, it won't be a problem to stay in the community for several months.

After a few months, with so many mountains in the country, we will surely be able to open up many shelters. When the time comes, it will be much safer to evacuate people in batches.

When Xia Zhi was waiting in line, she met Aunt Wu on the 28th floor of the building.

Aunt Wu is stingy and talkative. I usually look down on people like Xia Zhi who don't go to work and often buy a bunch of things home. According to her concept, she didn't know what freelancing meant, and she didn't even understand that Xia Zhi, as an interior designer, could earn more than her son, a small manager, without working.

However, Aunt Wu looks down on her every time she sees her. After seeing Xia Zhi this time, he actually looked affectionate: "Xia Zhi! I heard that your husband is still on a business trip and hasn't come home. It's just you and a baby in your house, so you can't use the one thousand yuan quota. Otherwise , you will give a few hundred yuan to me, my aunt? My son and grandson eat a lot!"

Xia Zhi couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Aunt Wu, I'm sorry! My family needs to buy diapers and milk powder, and I don't have that much quota for you." Sooner or later, this kind of person will teach her how to be a human being in the end of the world. Xia Zhi doesn't want to waste her energy

on On her.

While the other party was cursing, she stepped into the supermarket and went straight to the shelf selling baby products.

As for the food and drink shelves, they were already packed with people. If there weren't soldiers patrolling behind every shelf, Xia Zhi believed that these people would probably fight.

Compared to those shelves, there were not many people on the baby product shelves, but the supplies were unexpectedly abundant.

In fact, the child He Feifei of Xia Zhi's family no longer needs diapers. But Xia Zhi feels that diapers are a very useful material at some point. And at this time, I buy these inappropriate things openly. It can save a lot of trouble in the days to come.

Therefore, she unceremoniously swept away a few bags of diapers and brought a few cans of children's milk powder.

Her behavior made many people who came to buy food find it very strange.

After that, Xia Zhi added some dog food and cat litter that no one was grabbing. The dogs at home don’t like to use cat litter. But in the days that followed, it couldn't run wildly anymore. I can only feel sorry for this big guy for a while.

When Xia Zhi brought these inappropriate things home, he saw that Aunt Wu, an old man, was criticizing him in the phone owner group. That kind of criticism with a moral high ground made Xia Zhi want to laugh. Aunt Wu even ridiculed her for wasting her supermarket shopping credit on diapers, dog food, and cat litter.

Many business owners should be busy grabbing supplies. However, Xia Zhi discovered that everyone likes to laugh at others.

Xia Zhi felt very speechless when he saw those comments in the group that appeared to be trying to stop the fight but actually wanted to make someone angry.

Everyone is shouting that the end of the world is coming, but there is still time to eat!

——In

the next two days, basically everyone on the Internet and in the community was obsessed with stocking up on various goods. Even if the country comes forward to say that there is no so-called doomsday, it cannot stop public opinion from fermenting. Even those public intellectuals who usually have the toughest mouths secretly hoarded a lot of food.

No one knows whether the end of the world is coming. But it is obvious that if the problem of black gas is not solved for one day, the problem will only get worse.

The community had already sent an evacuation guide to every resident after the country announced a nationwide evacuation drill. At the same time, each mobile phone operator also sends a city evacuation guide to the phone owner according to the location of the different numbers.

Through multi-pronged efforts, people ranging from 80-year-olds to 3-year-old babies know that on July 25, it is best to stay on high floors and not leave. In particular, you should not stay directly in an area below 2 meters.

Not everyone expressed doubts about such evacuation guidelines. But many people are just confused with their words, but extremely precious in their actions.

Starting from July 24, no one dared to move on the entire ground. As for units such as supermarkets, they will also start closing on the 24th.

No matter what people’s attitude is towards July 25th, July 25th still comes on time.

At 9 a.m. on July 25, air raid sirens were sounded across the country!

The author has something to say:

Updated! Fever, cough, and bleating. The latest update that everyone has seen is the manuscript box.

Chapter 12

"Mom..."

The harsh venting alarm sounded throughout the city, and the doors and windows of Xia Zhi's house were completely closed the entire time. But it still cannot stop the sound warning aimed at reminding residents that disaster is coming.

Xia Zhi took her startled daughter into her arms and looked out the window through the French balcony door.

July 25th is the hottest time in summer.

The sun at 9 o'clock in the morning was so fierce that it hit the marble floor of the living room through the glass door, neutralizing the coldness of the marble.

Blue sky, white clouds and bright sunshine. It was in sharp contrast to the nerve-wracking air raid sirens.

"Ouch..."

KK, the big dog, had already stuffed his fur head under the sofa cushion when the air raid siren sounded. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, KK whined a little aggrievedly.

Such wailing sounds made little He Feifei in Xia Zhi's arms let go of the fear in her heart. Pulling my mother to get closer to KK.

"Haha..."

Lao Mo came out of the kitchen and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this scene.

——Different

from the usual air defense sirens, the total duration is only 3 minutes. This time, the air raid siren, with a life-saving mission, continued to sound for nearly 30 minutes.

During these 30 minutes, even people who do not know the national evacuation drill plan will learn from various channels what they should do after hearing such a large-scale air defense warning.

That is to stay away from the surface and go as high as possible.

For example, the owners who lived on the second and third floors of the building where Xia Zhi is located have long since moved out. Although the national evacuation plan mentions that the safe distance for black root disease is 2 meters above the surface. But apparently many owners don't believe this.

Because everyone with a discerning eye knows that this so-called national evacuation drill is actually not a drill in all likelihood. Otherwise, how could there be such a big battle? In some foreign countries, the movements made are not as exaggerated as in China. But the fact that wealthy people are fleeing their large houses on the ground and moving into high-rise residences is happening all over the world.

After the air raid siren stopped at 9:30, Xia Zhi went to the kitchen and cooked herself a bag of soup, Huan Chaos, and sat at the dining table to eat it.

In my last life, the black energy erupted at 12 noon, and it should be exactly the same this time.

With this in mind, when Xia Zhi turned on her phone and checked today's social media, she was still shocked by the hot searches.

# Reveal the Inside Story of the National Exercise#

Read'Novel}Add WeChat|Ttangya520%

#人 on the surface, shopping for zero yuan#

#是国evacuation or national brain damage#

...

Very headline-grabbing and eye-catching hot search, a posted on social media. What’s even more amazing is that such hot searches have not been harmonized.

Xia Zhi casually clicked on the so-called zero-yuan shopping live broadcast.

Good guy, a new Internet celebrity with a live broadcaster is riding a battery scooter around in a business district. Although many of the shops in the business district have already been emptied of goods by merchants. But this internet celebrity obviously wanted to gain prominence. He smashed the store window and went inside the store to make so-called zero-dollar purchases.

In such a live broadcast, there were actually many people shouting that it was great to buy for zero yuan.

Occasionally, someone will say in the comment area that they have called the police and advise the internet celebrity to surrender quickly.

Xia Zhi looked at the Internet celebrity's exaggerated smile in the camera. She believed that the Internet celebrity just wanted to gain fame. This so-called zero-yuan purchase looks more like a script. This kind of scripted performance is not uncommon in the field of short videos.

But obviously, to put such a script into play at this time is to seek death.

However, what is more worth pondering is. No law enforcement officials came forward to stop what this internet celebrity did.

It should be said that as far as the eye can see, the only living creature on the ground is that internet celebrity. Even the occasional stray cats, dogs, and rats in the city are nowhere to be seen.

Stray cats and dogs should be rescued by relevant animal protection organizations. But there were no traces of mice at all, which is worth pondering.

You know, the business district that the Internet celebrity entered is a food street.

Xia Zhi thought of the cockroaches and mice that she had never noticed in her previous life. After thinking about it for a while, she stood up and said, "Old Mo, take the tape and let's block all the gaps and sewers in the house first." It was like a flash of inspiration

. The summer solstice is not ignored.

In fact, after her rebirth, she felt as if she had an extra radar called vigilance for things like black energy. She could always have an idea suddenly pop up in her mind at critical moments. Even if the thing behind this thought has never happened in the previous life.

Lao Mo is playing with toys in the living room with He Feifei's child. After hearing Xia Zhi's words, he immediately stood up. He took the box of tape that the other party had just thrown out of the space, and began to seal all the door cracks, window cracks, vents, range hood outlets, drains, sewer openings, etc. in the entire home with tape and small sandbags.

Xia Zhi also helped out.

After sealing all the gaps, she breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, and looked outside in a daze.

Outside, the sun is shining!

——At

11 a.m., the family went to the table for lunch early. Lao Mo finally couldn't help but be curious. He looked at the crack in the door that had been covered with layers of explanations and asked curiously: "Xia Zhi, did this happen in my previous life?" Xia Zhi shook his head: "It didn't happen in my previous life. But this time

I I think we should do this." As for the reason, Xia Zhi couldn't explain clearly. If I have to say it, I'm probably afraid of cockroaches and mice coming in.

Yes, cockroaches and rats came in.

These two creatures, one of which is indestructible, are older than the dinosaurs. One type carries a lot of germs and can climb stairs. Either way, they are all living things. Living things have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

When an earthquake occurs, rats and cockroaches will even run away. What's more, this time the black energy erupted from deep underground.

The suspicion about the summer solstice was soon confirmed.

At 11:30, lunch was finished. Xia Zhi held her daughter in her arms before she could say anything. I heard KK at home suddenly barking at the gas pipe outside the window.

She followed KK's line of sight and looked over. What a guy, he was so scary.

The thin gas pipe next to the building wall was densely crawling with rats. There are so many rats that they seem to have nowhere to go. One on top of another, they pulled at the gas pipe and didn't let go.

When Xia Zhi saw this, he quickly asked Lao Mo to go to the kitchen and close the main valve of the gas pipe. Then immediately call the community workstation that has been moved to the rooftop.

You must know that if the number of rats increases again, the entire gas pipeline will be brought down.

But apparently, no one answered the call.

Instead, there were bursts of screams, one after another among the buildings. Apparently, some people's homes have been invaded by rats.

With these invading channels, the number of rats lying in gas pipes began to decrease significantly.

At this time of summer solstice, I don’t know whether I should be happy or feel troubled for my neighbor’s home.

Immediately following the rats came an army of cockroaches.

Their city is located in the south, and there are many types of cockroaches prevalent in the south. Among them, the most widely distributed ones are the cockroach M and country D.

The continental cockroach has wings. The large ones are half the size of a child's hand and can fly freely.

Country D cockroaches do not have the ability to fly, but they have the ability to bite people.

Both types of cockroaches are deeply disgusting existences.

Xia Zhi couldn't see the outer wall of the building where he was. However, cockroaches from country D began to gather outside the glass window.

When she took out a telescope, she looked at Building 7 next door. I found that the outer wall of Building 7 was unknowingly covered with all kinds of densely packed cockroaches from Country D with squirming tentacles.

And the winged continent M cockroaches have already formed a swarm like locusts, flying towards every commanding height.

Looking at the strong brother's swaying tentacles and squirming triangular mouth in the magnified telescope lens, Xia Zhi felt that his newly full stomach began to roll. There is only one thought in my mind:

My eyes! My eyes!

When Lao Mo saw her expression, he thought something was happening outside, so he took the telescope and took a look.

Then, Lao Mo said that he had lived for nearly 50 years, and for the first time he felt that he had never seen the world.

The arrival of the cockroach army once again caused the buildings to scream and curse one after another.

With the first wave of rat attacks, many people have closed all their windows. But apparently, the all-pervasive cockroach army always finds a way to invade.

Unexpectedly, before the black air broke out during the summer solstice, people first ushered in a wave of battles with rats and cockroaches.

Such a battle was not over yet. At 11:55, the piercing air defense sirens sounded again. Residents who are familiar with national evacuation drills know that this should be the legendary second warning that they must hide in the sky.

When the alarm sounded, Xia Zhi immediately stopped what she was doing and held her daughter in her arms. At the same time, the big golden retriever KK suddenly barked loudly outside. Other families with pets in the community, including cats, dogs, rabbits, rabbits and pigs, also started to become manic.

Even the cockroaches and rats that had just invaded residents' homes ran away as if they sensed something was wrong.

Cockroaches on the exterior walls and rats in the gas pipes began to squirm uneasily.

When the bell that represents the arrival of 12 o'clock rang, people found that the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness for an instant.

Before people could adapt to the sudden darkness, the sky suddenly brightened. People have regained their perspective.

And at this time, they discovered that the ground was like a burst crater, spitting out waves of black gas.

This gas looks ethereal, but it floats on the surface and does not disappear with the wind. Instead, it was like ink, getting darker and thicker, until the eyes could no longer penetrate the boundless darkness.

Xia Zhi looked towards the main road through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and could clearly see the entire process of the black air erupting and spreading.

Before she could say a word, she felt a pain in her heart, and then she didn't know anything else.

Before she fainted, she seemed to vaguely hear the phone ringing.

Chapter 13

Cold, extremely cold.

Summer Solstice is a cold world before our eyes.

In the cold and hard world, she saw layers of cardboard boxes, foam boxes, plastic storage boxes, stainless steel water storage tanks, stainless steel barrels and so on.

These supplies made Xia Zhi realize that the place in front of her was her own mysterious space.

After realizing that the place he was in was space, Xia Zhi finally calmed down. She looked around, trying to find a way out. However, no way was found. This space seems to never end. She felt as if she had been running in space for a long, long time. Then, I finally saw a flash of extreme blue light.

This blue light is the same as the blue light I saw when I was reborn. Although it exuded a cold feeling, Xia Zhi felt very familiar.

She stretched out her hand to touch the blue light, but it seemed she could never reach it.

The blue light seemed to be sending some message to herself, but the next moment, Xia Zhi opened her eyes.

Visual responses bring about tactile changes.

The air around me feels very dry during the summer solstice. The skin on my cheeks is very tight and uncomfortable.

Then a lot of complicated sounds started to ring in my ears. In the distance, a community loudspeaker was shouting something. The closest sounds were the cries of my daughter, the whining of KK, the golden retriever, and the sound of Lao Mo pacing back and forth anxiously.

Xia Zhi sat up suddenly and found that he was lying on the sofa where he had just fainted. She immediately reached out and hugged her daughter who was lying next to her: "Be good, Feifei, don't cry." At

this time, KK also put his big head close to her, looking a little aggrieved like a scared dog.

"Xia Zhi, you're awake. You scared me to death just now!"

Old Mo's broken voice suddenly emerged from the top of his head. Xia Zhi found that the other party's eyes were actually a little red.

Lao Mo can be said to be half the father of the couple. Now seeing him like this, Xia Zhi felt very guilty.

On the other end, Lao Mo was still murmuring: "Just wake up, just wake up! Just when you fainted, the phone rang for a long time. I wanted to answer it later, but it had already been hung up. It looked like it should be It's Tiansheng's call."

Xia Zhi picked up her phone and checked the time, and found that it was already past 3 p.m. She actually fainted for more than 3 hours. What is going on?

The reason for fainting is definitely related to space.

The timing of fainting happened to be the moment when the black energy broke out.

So, is it reasonable to suspect that the origin of my own dimension is inextricably linked to black energy?

The thought was unbelievable to her.

The blue stone that formed the space was given to me by my parents before their accident. And that blue stone was found by the couple's parents when they went to inspect a special geological structure. Because the blue stone is beautiful in color and no signs of radiation were found after testing, it was given to me as a souvenir.

And that place with a special geological structure eventually caused the couple's parents to lose their lives and only saved one, Lao Mo.

Now, this blue stone may be related to the origin of black energy. The relationship between this made Xia Zhi feel as if destiny connected everything together with a thread.

It's time to find an opportunity to talk to Lao Mo about the accident that year.

However, before she could put this idea into practice, she found her phone ringing again.

Xia Zhi didn't care about anything else and immediately answered the phone. On the other end of the phone, it was indeed He Tiansheng.

"Oh! Thank God, Xia Xia. You finally answered the phone."

"I'm fine, Tiansheng. Everything at home is fine, everyone is fine."

He Tiansheng said quickly on the other end of the phone: "I don't have time. Yes, Xia Xia. Please read the email I sent you later. It is safe to live in the community for the time being. When the black air broke out just now, a major discovery was made. I have to enter the laboratory, and I probably won’t be able to do it so soon. Contact you. Remember, I will complete the task and come back as soon as possible..."

After listening to her husband's words, Xia Zhi only had time to say a few words to the other party before she was forced to hang up the phone.

Listening to the busy phone call, Xia Zhi became curious about her husband's sudden job for the first time. What kind of research work is it? It seems that it has suddenly entered a critical period at this time. Apparently at this time in his previous life, my husband had already contacted his friends and agreed to use a helicopter to come over and take the family to evacuate.

But this time, it seems that everything has become completely different because of his rebirth!

Outside the window, there are warning words coming and going. The large loudspeakers installed in each building at the community workstation were broadcasting the same sentence back and forth at some unknown time: "Residents please stay at home, close the doors and windows tightly, and stay calm. The country will make next arrangements." After hearing this

Warning, Xia Zhi put all thoughts aside for the time being and prepared to see the changes brought about by the outbreak of black energy to the entire external environment.

Lao Mo next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her returning to her original state.

He helped carry He Feifei and KK over. Then he saw Xia Zhi getting up from the sofa and walking directly to the floor-to-ceiling glass door of the living room.

——Behind

the glass door is a balcony sealed by a whole piece of glass. There were many cockroaches crawling on the balcony glass before, but now many cockroaches have gone somewhere.

Through the glass, Xia Zhi could clearly see that the surface of the earth was engulfed in a thick darkness just like it had been a lifetime ago.

The main road has completely disappeared, leaving only street lights and traffic lights, allowing people to vaguely identify that this place used to be a road.

Most of the commercial areas on both sides of the road have been swallowed up by darkness, and the remaining half is still standing. But against the background of black air, it has the illusion of a horror movie set.

In the schools, community workstations, and community hospitals in front of the business district, you can also see that the first floor has been completely engulfed in darkness. As for the shops with shorter first floors, the black air spread directly over the first floor and eroded a small portion of the second floor area.

This domineering pattern of Hei Qi is exactly the same as it was in his previous life.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, while darkness was raging underground.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be artificially divided into two halves. Half light, half dark. Human beings, on the other hand, are struggling between light and darkness!

Seeing this, Xia Zhi didn't know how to be thankful that the characteristics of the black energy had not changed. It’s still sad that mankind has to step into the same situation again.

After looking at the situation outside, Xia Zhi tried the water, electricity, coal and Internet at home, and everything was normal for the time being.

Last week, the entire community underwent a major overhaul of the water, electricity and coal network, and Xia Zhi guessed that it was to prepare for today.

The country has quietly done a lot of work behind the scenes, and it seems that the results should be outstanding.

This nationwide evacuation exercise alone was very successful. This black gas outbreak saved many lives.

Xia Zhi clicked on the social network and found that the hotly searched content was completely different.

The one who topped the list of hot searches was the former Internet celebrity who wanted to become famous. Xia Zhi clicked on the hot search, and the video at the top was the other person's cry for help at the moment he was engulfed by black energy.

This kind of video is not moderated, but directly pinned to the top. It can be seen from here that the official wants to use this video to warn anyone who wants to try the black mist on their own in the future.

Xia Zhi clicked on the tens of millions of comments under the video, and some of them were just idiots. Part of it is an expression of despair for the black energy that has taken shape. There are also some people who are lamenting that their property will be wasted.

Money, vehicles, real estate, factories, companies, these things that symbolize wealth and status are vulnerable to black energy.

Before this aura of despair could spread on the Internet, Xia Zhi saw another text message from the mobile phone operator.

The content of this text message is similar to the previous two. It is a notice informing everyone to watch the country’s third press conference on black gas on time. The time will be 5 p.m., the time when the evacuation drill is scheduled to end.

——At

the same time, Xia Zhi was looking forward to the official news. In fact, when the news that the black gas was about to explode was first raised by scientists from the Academy of Sciences, they were dubious. However, with the emergence and spread of plant black root disease and the emergence of insects eroded by black air, this half-belief has become more credible.

After that, let’s not mention the official large-scale strategic transfer of materials, manpower, resources, etc.

Making the so-called national evacuation drill plan is a last resort decision.

If the black energy does not explode, naturally everyone will be happy. Even if this leads to scolding and even international disputes.

If black gas breaks out, this evacuation drill plan can save hundreds of millions of lives.

After the black gas finally breaks out, what the authorities will face is how to maintain social stability so that people can live and work in peace and contentment again.

All think tanks across the country, including decision-making experts, economic experts, agricultural experts, physics experts, chemical experts, etc., united at this moment to quickly improve the previously prepared plans after the black gas broke out.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a rapid air raid siren sounded. All people across the country, whether they were hesitant or desperate, whether they were indifferent or concerned, all turned on their televisions, computers, mobile phones, radios and other receiving devices at the same time to listen to the country's third national press conference on black gas. .

When Xia Zhi saw the big leader standing directly on the stage and announcing the arrangements after the black energy broke out, Xia Zhi's hanging heart relaxed slightly.

It seems that the things mentioned in the email sent back by Tiansheng are not wrong. Currently, it is safe to temporarily live in the community.

If these officially announced policies and arrangements can be implemented normally, people's lives will not be restored to what they were before, but at least half of them can be restored.

The other half has to wait until things like black energy are analyzed.

After the policy was announced, Xia Zhi thought it would take a few days for the policy to be officially implemented. But unexpectedly, before the press conference was over, there were waves of propeller roars in the sky.

The author has something to say:

Updated!

Chapter 14

"Please pay attention to all residents, please pay attention to all residents, our department will officially enter Nanming City. Each community will have a certain amount of military force to maintain order..." Along with the sound of propellers, there was also Didi in the mobile chat

group Voice.

Xia Zhi clicked on it and found that the community workstation had been pulled into the owner group by the property management at some point. Then, the community workstation issued the first announcement after the black gas outbreak.

The general idea is that even if black energy breaks out, society will still be the same society. Please abide by the law and do not try to trigger the law. The army has officially taken over city security. Residents are asked to stay at home patiently and wait for further instructions. While at home, please pay attention to the safe use of water, electricity and gas. If you need any help, please call the community workstation directly.

Under the pinned notice, there are emoticons of many owners clapping their hands and applauding.

Obviously, in this suddenly changing world, with the country standing up as the backbone and the people's soldiers guarding it, everyone feels relieved.

Of course, this kind of move will definitely deter some people who want to do bad things.

Xia Zhi, the Internet celebrity who was swallowed up by the black energy before, did not forget the comments under the video. Topics such as shopping for zero yuan, not having many things at home, and "borrowing" things from neighbors have been liked by many people.

Darkness amplifies human desires.

And before their evil desires amplify, the state has obviously put them on a police rope.

The sound of propellers in the sky became more and more distant, but Xia Zhi could obviously hear the footsteps starting to move quickly and regularly in the corridor. She didn't need to look to know that soldiers must have landed in their building via fighter jets.

Nearly an hour later, Xia Zhidu cut a bunch of newly grown peanut buds from the planting house and prepared them for dinner. The large loudspeaker with period characteristics in the community rang:

"Residents, please pay attention. Residents, please pay attention. After inspection, most of the rats and cockroaches in the building have been killed. The current concentration of pesticides in the outdoor air Higher. Please try to avoid going out within three hours. If you need to go out, please avoid going to the area below the second floor. Please pay attention to stay away from the black air..." I heard that rats and cockroaches in the corridor were killed, and the entire building cheered

. People are temporarily afraid to open their doors and windows. But that didn’t stop everyone from screaming with excitement and clapping their hands.

This kind of excited sound can still be heard clearly even in the summer solstice when my home is sealed.

The child He Feifei, who was reading a picture album in the living room, heard the sound of someone clapping her hands and followed suit, with a big smile on her face.

The previous outbreak of black energy and the way his mother fainted obviously made the child depressed all afternoon. Now I hear the excitement outside and the relaxed smiles on the adults' faces. The child He Feifei also became happy.

"Let's have hot pot tonight!"

-

Different from the joy of the residents, the departments responsible for various people's livelihood supplies are running smoothly.

"All communication towers are currently operating normally and the network is unobstructed." "

The power system inspection has been completed and everything is normal now." Nanming City's electricity is mainly hydropower. It is currently located on Nanming Mountain in the north of Nanming City. Because of its high altitude, it has not been affected by the black air for the time being.

In most cities in the north where thermal power generation is the mainstay, the current power supply is not sufficient because the time for relocating industries was too short.

The natural gas transmission department is also conducting its first inspection after the black gas outbreak.

Natural gas in Nanming City is transported from the northwest. At present, the entire large transmission pipeline has been engulfed by black gas. Neither scanning instruments nor lighting instruments can penetrate that darkness. However, judging from the electronic control system, natural gas transportation is currently stable.

The Nanming City Water Plant is more difficult to do.

The water of Nanming City Water Plant comes from the reservoir on the outskirts of the city. Because of the geographical location of the reservoir and the fear that the water resources will be polluted by black gas. Therefore, the delivery of tap water had been stopped before the black gas outbreak. The tap water currently used in all communities is actually water from the high-rise pools in the community.

They must detect contamination of water resources before the water in community pools runs out. In extreme cases, water may need to be brought down from high mountains for supply.

However, residents are currently unaware of these potential difficulties.

People relaxed when it became clear that the country was still functioning normally and that the military was always there to protect them. Some generous people even opened champagne or red wine and took a sip to celebrate.

Throughout the evening, almost half the country felt relieved. A few people looked at the dark land on the ground outside, which was still dark even under the solar street lights, and fell into silence.

——Early

the next morning, the sun still rose.

The first thing people do when they open their eyes is to open their curtains and look outside.

As a result, disappointingly, the ground was still shrouded in darkness.

Summer Solstice inevitably has the same idea as everyone else.

She bathed in the sunshine and looked out through the glass window. The main road was still swallowed up by darkness. The only thing to be thankful for may be that this darkness seems to have stabilized now. Yesterday during the summer solstice, I could occasionally feel the black air surging. But today, this black abyss formed by black gas is like a pool of stagnant water.

While having breakfast, Xia Zhi opened her phone as usual and first checked the new trends on social media.

Sure enough, there was a buffer of one night, and the sun was still rising today. People's mood gradually improved. Some people began to post various black gas pictures from different angles on the Internet.

Some people's homes are on lower floors, and the black air in the photos looks particularly deep and terrifying. As for the photos taken by people on high floors, they actually have a magical scene from a fairy tale.

However, Xia Zhi, who had been swallowed up by black energy in her previous life, said that the feeling was very special. Although she has never been swallowed up by the evil spirit in fantasy novels. But obviously, the black energy that appeared in front of us was a level that was even more unimaginable.

Although there was no evidence, Xia Zhi's intuition told her so.

While Xia Zhi was thinking, Xia Zhi's cell phone suddenly rang. After she got through, she found that it was Miss Liu downstairs: "Ms. Xia, has the water supply stopped at your home?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment when she heard this question. Then I got up and went to the kitchen to try it, and found that there was no water coming out of the faucet.

"The water supply is cut off at my house. It's the same at your house, right!"

Miss Liu complained on the other end of the phone: "Yes! It's really strange. I just woke up and found that there was no water. My husband's distant cousin was in the toilet right now shouting that there was no water. The water is flushing the toilet!"

Xia Zhi could hear that Miss Liu had the urge to spit black mud at herself, and quickly said: "Then I will hang up first. Then I will ask the community." After saying that, before Miss Liu could continue to complain, she turned the

phone Hang up. After hanging up, Xia Zhi shook his head.

Miss Liu's husband actually brought two women home, one old and one young, two days before the black energy broke out. He said it was his distant cousin and cousin. The pregnant cousin divorced her husband and had no choice but to seek refuge with their family.

Xia Zhi will not judge Ms. Liu's husband's behavior at this time of disaster. But when she saw the mother and daughter moving over, they only had two suitcases in their hands. Obviously no supplies were prepared.

After Xia Zhi saw it at that time, he knew that in the future, Miss Liu's family would probably have many family disputes to resolve.

"Old Mo, let me go to the roof and take a look."

-

Yesterday, it was because I was worried about rats and cockroaches escaping from the building. One day has passed and it should be much better now.

Summer Solstice requires understanding the changes in the outside world as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the water outage, she simply went to the community workstation on the rooftop.

As a result, as soon as she went out, she found that the elevator in the building had been stopped. Apparently, he was worried that there would be an accident in the elevator and he would not be able to be rescued.

Fortunately, the rooftop is on the roof of their house. Xia Zhi walked up the escape stairs and found that the large iron door leading to the rooftop was open. There were sounds of voices coming from above.

Before she walked through the big iron gate, she saw several soldiers with guns and ammunition talking to Director Liu at the community work station.

Everyone was a little surprised to see her coming.

Obviously, Xia Zhi was the first owner to appear in front of them after the black energy broke out.

"Director Liu, good morning! I would like to ask if the water supply in the building is out of service."

Director Liu nodded: "The community will send a notice soon."

Xia Zhi took advantage of the other party's reply to quickly take a look at the situation on the rooftop.

The top floor used to have only a public water tank for the community. Now, I don’t know when a row of simple faucets was installed next to the reservoir.

Several thick stainless steel columns have been installed above the load-bearing columns of the building not far from the faucet.

These two changes shocked Xia Zhi.

You know, her house is right below the rooftop, even though there is an insulation layer in between. But she didn't hear any noise caused by the installation of faucets and stainless steel pillars. Obviously, this comes as a surprise.

The same configuration is the same in Building 7 and Building 1 next door. You don’t need to use a telescope to look at other buildings during the summer solstice, you can know that the settings of each building should be exactly the same.

Something even more surprising to Xia Zhi is yet to come.

I saw two of the soldiers who were talking to Director Liu, under the instructions of the leader, taking out a steel cable thicker than the mouth of a bowl from the built workstation. A huge iron ring is installed on one end of the cable.

Then, right in front of Xia Zhi, the iron ring at one end of the steel cable was directly placed on the stainless steel pillar that had been built, and then fixed with electric welding.

Another soldier took out a special bow - a crossbow. This kind of bow-crossbow is not equipped with crossbow arrows, but an arrow with a large iron hook on the arrow. The arrow tail is equipped with a thin steel rope.

Xia Zhi took one look and knew what the soldier in front of him wanted to do.

But this operation is too dangerous.

You know, the distance between buildings in their community is at least about 20 meters.

Before Xia Zhi was surprised, he saw that the crossbow arrow with the big iron hook had been launched. The target is directly pointed at the stainless steel pillars on the rooftop of the 7th building next door. After the iron hook arrow was shot, it quickly touched the target. Soldiers on the roof of the seventh building immediately helped fix the iron hooks. In this way, a thin steel rope was built between the two buildings.

Then, Xia Zhi saw the soldier who shot the hook arrow put down his crossbow. Grab the bowl-shaped thick steel cable lying on the ground. Then, following the thin steel rope that I had just built, I reached the rooftop of Building 7.

Then, he handed over the thick steel cable he was holding.

The entire process, from shooting to construction to handing over the thick steel cable, took no more than 10 minutes.

"This... this is really..."

"It's really amazing, isn't it!"

Director Liu walked up to Xia Zhi at some point and looked at the thick steel cables being welded in Building 7 with pride.

"Director Liu, are you going to build a steel cable bridge between the buildings in the entire community?"

This was the only conclusion Xia Zhi came to after seeing this operation.

Director Liu nodded: "Yes, every community in our Nanming City needs to do this. If it weren't for the distance between communities, the city would even want to connect all the high-rise buildings in our community together." "

But, all the high-rise buildings in our community are connected together." Aren't the buildings connected by a sky garden on the second floor?"

Judging from the memory of the previous life and the current spread of black energy. The sky garden is safe for the time being.

"Who knows how long the sky garden can last at that height?"

Xia Zhi knew the other party's subtext as soon as he thought about it.

yes!

Faced with an unknown thing like black air, no one dares to guarantee that this black air will always remain at a height of two meters. Even if you only lived for a month during the summer solstice in your previous life, there is no guarantee of the future.

"These steel ropes may become our lifeline for escape in the future."

Director Liu's leisurely words will indeed become a prophecy in the near future.

But now neither of them realizes the hardships ahead. Just looking at the steel cable bridge that was quickly built in front of me, it looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

After discovering that the water supply was cut off in the community, the owners of the community climbed up one after another with buckets after receiving a notice from the community. When they came up, they saw this scene.

Some of these people climbed from the 4th floor to the rooftop above the 32nd floor, feeling angry and ready to explode.

After arduously walking to the rooftop, what I saw was the scene of the steel cable bridges being successfully built. Instantly, my anger disappeared, and instead, people applauded.

Chapter 15

"How to sell this Vaseline?"

A middle-aged woman wearing a tank top and shorts walked up to Xia Zhi and squatted down, looking at the open carton in front of her. Inside the carton is a 50g can of white petroleum jelly.

Xia Zhi didn't recognize the middle-aged woman in front of him, but she just felt a little familiar. She subconsciously pointed to the handwritten price tag erected on the side of the carton: "One bottle can be exchanged for 15 eggs or 10 kilograms of rice." When the

middle-aged woman saw the price, she took a breath and held the price tag in her hand. The can of white Vaseline was thrown back into the carton: "Don't you want to grab it? This thing used to cost more than ten yuan a can. What you sell here is not a big brand. Eggs and rice are so expensive now! You shouldn't eat this stuff properly. Drink..."

Xia Zhi moved the umbrella used to block the sun slightly forward, forcing the other party to retreat. Then he said bluntly: "If you find it too expensive, you don't have to change it."

It was probably because the two of them were making a big fuss here.

People who were wandering around heard the words white Vaseline and immediately came over. Those who had a lot of money did not bother with Xia Zhi. They directly took out the small package of 10 kilograms of vacuum rice and handed it to Xia Zhi, taking away a can of white Vaseline in exchange.

That's it, one can for you and one for me. In addition, during the summer solstice, I only brought 5 cans to test the water. They sold out instantly.

The middle-aged woman wanted to lower the price and deliberately belittled Xia Zhi's white Vaseline. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this thing was replaced.

The last person to leave was a young woman.

The woman replied rudely to the middle-aged woman: "The weather is so dry now. I don't know when this stuff will be available normally. If I were you, when I found someone selling it, I would just wrap it up secretly. What a big deal." Fool..."

"You..." The middle-aged woman was so angry that she couldn't speak.

When Xia Zhi saw that all the things he had brought had been exchanged, Ma Liuer put the rice and eggs he had collected into the carton and was about to get up and go home. You must know that in Nanming City at the end of July, the temperature has exceeded 30 degrees. There is no shelter here in the sky garden and it is extremely hot.

"Hey, don't leave. You still have that Vaseline at home, right! Can't I change it?"

Xia Zhi avoided the other person's extended hand and

said , "Auntie, I'm not familiar with you." , Xia Zhi looked at the soldiers who were patrolling the Hemu warehouse with live ammunition not far away, and motioned to the other party not to mess around.

——Three

days have passed since the black air broke out.

Nothing can happen in three days, or many things can happen that change people's lifestyles.

For example, in the community where Xia Zhi is located, a solid cable bridge has been built between each building in just three days. Of course, since the cable bridge is built on the rooftop on the 32nd floor, the height is really scary. Therefore, every time everyone sees the chain bridge, they will exclaim how majestic it is! But so far, the only people who have actually used the chain bridge are military personnel and community workers.

As for the residents, they stayed away from the cable bridge when they saw it.

Anyway, their community also has a sky garden that can connect the entire community together. This kind of layout makes other surrounding communities drool with envy.

Another even more enviable thing their community has accomplished is the establishment of a free market within the community.

It is said to be a free market, but in fact it mainly provides a place for everyone to exchange idle materials.

In the past, people had a very short period of time to stock up on goods, and at that time they just stocked up blindly and bought things when they saw them. In the past few days when the black air broke out, everyone had time to sort out the supplies they had purchased frantically before, and found many things that were no longer needed at home. But it may be something other neighbors desperately need.

In the past, such idle items could be sold on the Yellow Fish website. This situation now can only be digested within the community.

Of course, this slogan of exchanging materials with each other and maximizing the utilization of resources was put forward by the community.

According to Xia Zhi's understanding, the main purpose is actually to divert the residents' attention and energy. This will prevent them from causing problems with the community over water shutoffs.

Yes!

Since the day after the black gas outbreak, the entire community, including most communities across the country, has had water outages. It doesn’t mean that the water is gone immediately, but that all residents need to go to the community’s public storage tank on the rooftop and draw a daily quota of water.

Those who have the biggest objections to this water supply plan are undoubtedly the residents on the lower floors.

These people have to climb twenty or thirty floors to the rooftop every day, and then carry a bucket of twenty to thirty liters of water down the stairs. In the summer, almost every time after getting water, someone would smile bitterly and go for a run. The sweat from the clothes alone weighed two kilograms.

Because of this matter, many residents in the community have very strong opinions. They not only have opinions about the community, but also about the residents on high floors.

In order to avoid the escalation of conflicts, some genius proposed building a free market to divert residents' attention. As long as a site is provided and military patrols are provided to maintain order, a simple free market is formed.

In the free market, there are no restrictions on the types of things that can be exchanged, and there is no mandatory requirement to use banknotes for settlement, and there are military guards. Therefore, it is very popular among residents.

On the first day of the construction of the free market, Xia Zhi brought a few cans of Vaseline over to test the water. Now that sales are so booming, it is conceivable that I am not the only one who feels that the air has become very dry.

In Nanming City, a southern city with a reservoir nearby, this kind of situation is very rare in summer.

During the summer solstice, I feel that the dry air should be related to the black air.

But as a non-science and engineering person, there is no way to study the relationship. I can only take out the Vaseline lotion, lip balm, nasal aspirator with nasal salts and even artificial tears that nourish the eyeballs that I prepared early in the morning for the children and young people in the family to use.

As a person with mild nasal allergies, I have used a neti washer and vitamin E during the two days of the summer solstice to maintain the humidity of the nasal cavity.

——When

the middle-aged woman saw Xia Zhi pointing at the patrolling soldiers, she immediately did not dare to pull him. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said miserably: "Neighbor, please. Let me have a bottle of Vaseline! My daughter has a big belly and feels her belly is tight. The body lotion at home doesn't work. I can only use it. Vaseline."

Xia Zhi hesitated when she heard that a pregnant woman wanted to use it.

However, when she noticed the eager expressions of the people watching around her, she shook her head.

Watch ('Novel: Jia v letter}xiamu

"Sorry, I only have these few cans. If the children at home are too young and need eggs and rice to supplement their nutrition, I would not be willing to exchange the things waiting to be used at home. I want Otherwise, the Vaseline is gone. But I still have half a pack of diapers at home. Didn’t you say your daughter has a big belly? The diapers will come in handy sooner or later. Do you want to change these diapers? I can change them for you cheaper... "

Around When the people heard that there were only useless diapers, they immediately dispersed.

As long as the country has not announced the resumption of material supplies, they believed that no one would be willing to use food to change diapers. The

middle-aged woman did not expect Xia Zhi to be so cruel, and hated He glared at Xia Zhi. He was about to curse Xia Zhi. But just when he opened his mouth, he suddenly trembled. Then, a huge sneeze came from the middle-aged woman

. After the woman reacted, she immediately hugged her cardboard box full of rice and hid to the side for several meters.

Then, she saw the middle-aged woman sneeze, and the liquid sprayed from her nose and mouth actually produced a little Tyndall effect in the sunlight.

The sky garden in the community is very large, but there are many landscape trees and turf planted on it. The place left for people to set up stalls and trade is not spacious.

The middle-aged woman's powerful sneeze caused several passersby who had no time to dodge to get covered in saliva.

These people took a few steps back in disgust and glared at the middle-aged woman several times.

After the middle-aged woman sneezed, she quickly wiped her nose with her hands and threw it on the ground. I was about to settle the score with Xia Zhi, but when I turned around, I saw that Xia Zhi was gone.

——Xia

Zhi hurriedly ran towards Building 8 with her things in her arms. As soon as she entered the glass door of Building 8 and the sky garden, she met Miss Liu downstairs.

It has only been 3 days since the black air broke out, but Miss Liu, the hot mom who used to be glamorous, looks a little downcast.

When she saw Xia Zhi, she still had the same gentle smile on her face: "Ms. Xia, are you here to exchange rice? How do you exchange rice in the free market?" The

free market officially started at 9 o'clock today. But the nanny at home had gone back to her hometown long ago because of the nationwide evacuation drill. Therefore, Miss Liu has done all the housework alone these days. Not only did she have to take care of her husband and children, but she also had to take care of her husband's distant aunt and cousin, which made her very tired.

"No one is taking out the rice to replace it. If you want to exchange it for rice, you need to get some supplies that others don't have. Things that are in short supply in the free market now are bottled water, bottled water and skin care products with emollient effects." Ms. Liu

said Hearing this, he was stunned: "Can't you buy it with money?"

Xia Zhi looked at the other party's disappointed expression and shook her head, breaking her innocent fantasy.

Seeing the other person's back holding onto the money to try his luck in the free market, Xia Zhi thought she would give up only after hitting a wall.

Xia Zhi, who turned around and entered the stairs, didn't notice that as soon as Miss Liu reached the sky garden, she bumped into the middle-aged woman who just wanted to scold her.

The safety staircase is now also the most lively place in the community.

Xia Zhi carried 40 kilograms of rice and 15 eggs and walked on the narrow safety stairs. After walking about ten floors, her feet became weak.

God knows, to climb from the sky garden to your own unit, you need to climb nearly 30 floors of stairs. Still holding so much rice, Xia Zhi regretted today's water test.

However, her regrets had not yet had time to dissipate. A familiar neighbor walked towards him, and Xia Zhi nodded and said hello.

As a result, the other party was about to say a few polite words, but instead of words, what came out was another loud sneeze.

The narrow corridor makes it impossible to completely avoid the summer solstice. But also because of the close distance, she found that the droplets coming out of the other person's sneezing seemed to be faintly mixed with something subtle...

The author has something to say:

Updated!

Chapter 16

Back home, Xia Zhi put down her things, still confused about what she had just seen. At this time, she only thought it was the visual difference caused by the dim lighting in the stairwell.

However, in the next few days, she subconsciously reduced the number of times she went out. Even the children and dogs wanted to go for a walk in the sky garden, but she stopped them and could only run and play back and forth on the small terrace and balcony.

When I did this during the summer solstice, many people in the community were temporarily silent.

Everyone still goes to the free market every day to see if they can exchange for the supplies they need. Every day, in the morning or evening when the sun is not so strong, I go to the rooftop to collect the amount of water the family needs for the day.

Of course, because of the hot weather and household water quotas, a strong smell of urine began to permeate the entire building. Xia Zhi knew with her toes that someone must have peed directly in the trash can in the corridor. This kind of thing can only depend on personal quality, there is no way to stop it.

After all, the property management company has basically withdrawn, and the staff have been dismissed on the spot. Only a few people from property management companies who are community owners themselves will be recalled by the community as non-staff personnel. As for the main body of managing the community, the community is the main body, and the military is responsible for maintaining normal order.

After thinking about this matter in my mind, no matter whether it is Xia Zhi or Lao Mo, I will wear a mask when going out.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning, the sun had just risen, and the weather was warm but not too hot. This time is the favorite time for people on lower floors to fetch water.

In order to avoid crowding with people, the summer solstice is usually held more than ten minutes earlier than them. At this time, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order in fetching water upstairs had already been on duty.

During the summer solstice, I wore a mask and carried a plastic bucket with a lid to fetch water. The current water consumption is only 5L of water supply per person per day. It’s not too much water, but it’s enough for people to eat and drink.

Xia Zhi walked over and swiped the QR code erected at the water pumping station with her mobile phone. After registering, she carried the bucket under the faucet.

The water flowed out loudly, and Xia Zhi took advantage of the time to look around at the changes in the entire city.

The community is located in the city center and is surrounded by tall buildings. Many office buildings in the surrounding area have actually been requisitioned as temporary residences for people in low-lying areas and low-rise buildings because their floors are high enough.

Looking from the top floor, as long as you don't look downstairs, there is actually not much change from before the black energy broke out.

When the water volume is enough, the water outlet pipe that automatically calculates the water volume will automatically close immediately.

At the summer solstice, put the plastic lid back on and prepare to carry the water home. Then someone else happened to come up from downstairs.

The first one was Aunt Wu on the 28th floor. When the supermarket introduced purchase quotas, she asked Xia Zhi for a quota. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu, an old man of nearly 60 years old, came to her house. If she remembered correctly, the other party's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson all had the ability to fetch water.

Of course, Xia Zhi doesn't care about other people's housework.

She picked up the water and was about to leave, but she was intercepted by Aunt Wu accurately: "Hey, isn't this Miss Xia? She almost couldn't recognize her with a mask. I heard that a bad old relative came to your family. Why are you a woman? Come get water!"

Xia Zhi's eyes shuddered slightly when he heard such strange words.

"Then why do you still come to fetch water at such an age? Where is your good son and grandson?"

It was probably Xia Zhi's words that hurt Aunt Wu's lungs. The man's face suddenly turned red and he wanted to scold Xia Zhi.

But Xia Zhi could tell something was wrong from the other party's expression. Without thinking, she immediately took her own bucket and took a few steps back to the side. She didn't stop until she was close to the railing of the rooftop.

As for Aunt Wu at the other end, she was originally followed by several lively residents. Seeing that her face was red now, they thought Aunt Wu was about to burst a blood vessel, so they shouted for help to the soldiers at the water intake point. At the same time, I didn’t forget that someone was pointing towards the summer solstice.

However, before the soldiers came over, Aunt Wu had already sneezed several times vigorously, causing several neighbors who were following her to be sprayed with foam all over their faces.

Of course, Aunt Wu doesn't care about this at the moment. After sneezing, her face quickly returned to normal. Moreover, he wiped his nose with his hand in disgust and threw a tube of snot onto the ground.

Such a disgusting scene made everyone take a few steps back. The neighbors who were sprayed all over their heads and faces by her started retching in disgust.

Such a big movement made Director Liu, who was temporarily living on the top floor, come out directly.

"What's going on? You're so worried so early in the morning."

Originally, there were people who wanted to shout about the summer solstice and make Aunt Wu so angry that her blood vessels would burst. However, after seeing Aunt Wu sneezing a few times, she became as strong as an ox, and everyone was instantly speechless.

Aunt Wu is a bully and fears the strong. Already after Director Liu came out, he was as good as a little sheep. Her son had been warned a thousand times not to offend the community staff. Aunt Wu's son, Wu Dayong, is very familiar with this kind of low-key things.

Xia Zhi's attention is not on these boring people at the moment.

When she walked to the railing, her eyes were basically attracted by the black air downstairs.

The black air was as calm as ever, like stagnant water in a pond, without any trace of life. But Xia Zhi always felt that something was lurking in the black air, ready to move. That feeling is chilling.

Back home, Xia Zhi didn't take what happened on the rooftop to heart. People are stupid without knowing it, and the world will always teach them how to behave. However, Xia Zhi did not expect that the deep malice from the world would come so quickly.

That night, Aunt Wu started the sneezing mode at home. It's the kind of person who can't stop beating and beats dozens of people in a row. It's a bit like what patients with allergic rhinitis suffer from every morning.

Not just Aunt Wu, but the entire building, the entire community, even the entire Nanming City, the entire country, the entire world, many people seemed to have suddenly turned on the allergic rhinitis button with one click. The sound of sneezing came and went, quite like you singing and then I come on stage.

This sudden change caused many sinful desires that were caused by the outbreak of black energy to stop, and instead began to seek medical advice.

However, ordinary people do not have many medicines stored at home. Even if they do, most of them are antipyretics, cold medicines, and gastrointestinal medicines. Few are equipped with anti-allergy medications.

The drugs used to treat frequent sneezing symptoms are generally anti-allergic drugs.

But the black air is rampant outside, and it is very difficult to prepare medicine. Moreover, the stock of anti-allergy drugs is limited.

In addition, even if the black gas does not break out, the production of anti-allergic drugs will still require a certain production cycle when raw materials, factories, and workers are ready. What's more, what's more, the current situation of darkness everywhere?

For a while, it was really hard to find a medicine.

The community receives calls for medicine every day, but the hospital's stock of anti-allergic drugs is limited. The current symptoms of residents are allergic rhinitis, which is mainly sneezing, and there are a large number of patients. Community hospitals throughout Nanming City have been evacuated. There are only a few general hospitals in the city center that can function properly because of their high floors. However, beds, medicines, and medical staff are limited.

In this case, it is obviously unrealistic to call a medical helicopter to take the person to the city hospital.

At a critical moment, some experts stepped forward and began to popularize the allergic rhinitis that has swept the world. Experts claim that this large-scale allergy may be related to the abnormally dry weather after the black air outbreak.

After the black gas outbreak, the entire planet, including continents dominated by oceanic humid climates, still experienced a significant drop in air humidity.

In order to avoid allergies, experts have begun to tell everyone that you can choose to wear a mask, you can choose to use household nasal saline solution to rinse the nasal cavity, you can choose to use vitamin E or medical Vaseline, and use a cotton swab to moisten the nasal cavity. You can also use a home humidifier to increase indoor air humidity.

Anyway, all of a sudden, different experts jumped out and made various suggestions to everyone. Some of these suggestions are helpful and some are not. But in the absence of drugs, everyone can only act as a doctor.

Of course, no matter what the extremely harsh environment, there are always people who can see the sky with their hands and eyes.

No, Xia Zhi stood on the balcony at home, using a telescope to see drones flying over the city from time to time. This kind of drone was developed by Xia Zhi's husband He Tiansheng's company, and it carries point-to-point, automatic identification and other functions. Now, on this small high-speed drone, traces of tape binding can be vaguely seen on the lower part of the body.

Needless to say, strapped inside was a board of anti-allergy medicine.

In the past, a 24-piece tablet of anti-allergy medicine only cost 4 yuan. It is estimated to have reached a sky-high price now.

Xia Zhi didn't know how this kind of transaction happened between buyers and sellers. You must know that because of the outbreak of black energy, many people no longer recognize the purchasing power of banknotes.

Among the owners, many owners also saw the drones flying carrying medicines. Someone with a patient at home began to secretly want to shoot down the drone.

Of course, more people are screaming about when the country will resume online shopping. They want to shop online, buy medicines online, masks online, and food and drink online.

Such news flooded the screen for a long time. Xia Zhi felt a little bored and just wanted to put down her phone and go to work in the planting room. Suddenly I saw someone posting a video.

The video is very short, and it looks like it was downloaded from the well-known short video APP Notes.

Xia Zhi clicked in and took a look. The first thing he saw was a bloody mass that looked like a piece of meat. There are a few words printed above the video: A patient with allergic rhinitis sneezed and spit out a ball of meat today...

Many owners who clicked on the video asked for the source of the original video below. No one believed that a person with allergic rhinitis who only had symptoms of sneezing could spit out pieces of meat.

Xia Zhi is just the opposite of the others. After she saw the lump of flesh, her scalp went numb instantly...

The author has something to say:

This article will be added to V on December 30, and there will be an update of 10,000 words after V. thanks for your support!

In addition, I would like to collect the next book "The Great Plant Revival [Natural Disaster]".

Pre-harvest copy: There is a bumper harvest of crops in the fields.

The flowers grown at home are in full bloom.

The city, which is like a steel forest, is full of greenery.

The air filled with smog pollution is purified.

People are happy about the improvement of the environment and cheer for getting closer to nature.

But Xie Tao, a migrant worker who suddenly awakened to the space, felt cold all over when he looked at the green city.

Soon, her premonition came true.

First, a large amount of pollen fills the air, causing large-scale allergic respiratory diseases.

Then a large number of plant spores were dispersed by the wind, causing large-scale human parasitism.

Then there are the beautiful flowers and lush branches, which suddenly open their fangs.

Until the end, even the weeds underfoot can kill someone at any time.

Industrial civilization collapsed, and humans returned to slash-and-burn farming, struggling to survive surrounded by deep green forests.

Xie Tao can only work hard to survive with her family surrounded by green plants and welcome this great plant recovery.Chapter 17

Of course, such a bloody and shocking video quickly attracted national attention.

Some people believe it, some people don't. Officials have no intention of issuing any announcement yet.

During the summer solstice, I once again checked the conditions of every gap, air outlet, and water outlet in my home. Just like the day when the black air broke out, we treated the overwhelming swarms of rats and cockroaches.

It can be said that except for the entrance gate, other places are sealed again by the summer solstice. Although there is currently no official conclusion about the video, Xia Zhi believes that this situation is closely related to black energy.

"We won't go out these days to see how things progress."

After watching the video, Lao Mo also felt that something was wrong. Anyway, we have everything to eat and drink at home, so there is no need to go out.

In this chaotic era where everyone is looking after their own family, no one has noticed that Xia Zhi's family has not left the house for two days.

As for the video of someone sneezing out pieces of meat, the official issued a notice one day after the video appeared.

The content of the notice was not very detailed, but simply stated that allergic rhinitis requires early medical intervention if the sneezing does not stop. The phenomenon of meat spurting out in the video is real, but it happened under extreme circumstances.

A very simple notification, many people would have found it very perfunctory in the past. But in this situation, everyone realized that something was wrong. But no one is an expert, and there is no way to judge any valid information from a blurry video. You can only try to reduce the number of times you go out and stay indoors. If you go out, you will try to wear a mask.

When the black air broke out before, some people laughed at themselves for spending a lot of money to hoard a bunch of masks. There are now a large number of patients with allergic rhinitis. These people who are hoarding masks instantly seem to be rich.

Xia Zhi saw someone from the group of business owners selling masks they had hoarded. Good guy, a pack of 10 ordinary medical masks actually costs 10 or even 20 kilograms of rice.

And just like that, someone actually made a move.

As for anti-allergic drugs to treat allergic rhinitis, not many people can get their hands on them. Xia Zhi thought that even if people in the community had anti-allergy medicine at home, no one would take it out. But soon, she was slapped in the face.

In the owner group, some people took out anti-allergic granules specially designed for children and designated them directly on them to exchange them for medical-grade Vaseline or highly moisturizing body lotion.

Because the owner group had real names, Xia Zhi knew at a glance that the person who sent this exchange of information was Qian Xin, the husband of Ms. Liu downstairs.

This idiotic practice of exchanging life-saving medicine for body lotion was immediately criticized by many mothers in the group. We all live in the same community, and no one knows that Ms. Liu’s family has a child who has just turned 3 years old.

But obviously Qian Xin is not afraid of this kind of accusation. Instead, he proudly said that the lotion he got back was also for pregnant women. As for worrying about your son? My son does not have allergic rhinitis, so there is no need to worry at all.

Of course, this obviously advantageous exchange of goods was quickly replaced by some owners who didn't mind being accused of robbing their children of medicine.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi could only remain silent in her heart again.

How could this Ms. Liu, a mother, allow her child's life-saving medicine to be taken away? To put it bluntly, no matter how dry my skin is, it’s not as scary as sneezing all the time. Dry skin during pregnancy is not life-threatening. But if a child gets allergic rhinitis and can't stop sneezing, it will kill him!

That night, someone in the community soon experienced for themselves that constant sneezing can kill people.

Around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, it is the time when everything is quiet and residents fall asleep. However, the sound of propellers roaring echoed through the community, waking up many residents who had just fallen asleep.

Xia Zhi's hearing has always been very good. She gently moved her daughter away from her arms, got up from the bed, walked to the glass window of the room, opened the curtains, and saw a helicopter with flashing lights. Hovering over the rooftop of Building 7 next door. I guess the rooftop is too cluttered and not suitable for parking a helicopter.

A bundle of rope ladders was thrown from the helicopter's door. Then soon, Xia Zhi saw medical staff staggering off the plane. This kind of action made Xia Zhi break into a cold sweat.

The medical staff who can still come to see patients at this time are all worthy of admiration and respect.

After one of the medical staff came down, another figure who looked very strong and strong, resembling a soldier, came down carrying a bunch of things. The dark night makes the summer solstice seem unreal. But Xia Zhi looked at the outlines of those things and felt like medical equipment.

Soon, these people left the rooftop and hurriedly entered Building 7.

At the same time, a large group belonging to the entire community had exploded.

Owner on the 25th floor of Building 7: [Oh my God! Old Shen on the 26th floor of Building 7, I heard that he seems to be dying. ]

Owner on the 27th floor of Building 7: [I heard him sneezing for more than an hour tonight and couldn't stop. I heard that it was his son who found the community. ]

Owner on the 32nd floor of Building 7: [Medical care is here, and a helicopter just stopped on the rooftop. ]

...

A lot of them were chatting with the owners of Building 7, but Xia Zhi saw the seriousness of the matter from these chats.

The uneasiness in her heart prompted Xia Zhi not to fall asleep immediately. Instead, I keep scrolling through other social platforms. It turns out that since the meat loaf video came out, people have said one after another that allergic rhinitis seems to be getting worse if they don't take medicine.

Some netizens said that their grandmother could not stop sneezing for half an hour. Fortunately, my family lives in the family building of the hospital. By walking on the cable bridge in the air, the person was carried to the hospital and rescued.

When some netizens saw this news, they immediately got up and blocked the cracks in their doors and windows. This type of netizen has an elder and a younger child at home.

Xia Zhi read through a lot of posts from netizens and found that almost all of the people who posted them had one or two people in their families who had allergic rhinitis. It was almost impossible to find a family that did not have a single case of the disease in their home.

This made Xia Zhi suddenly realize that no one in their family, including Lao Mo, his daughter, Gouzi and himself, seemed to have shown signs of sneezing. She didn't know if this was survivor bias or if there were other unknown reasons.

Such anomalies made Xia Zhi cheer up and look back at the news from the owner group in the past few days.

Then, she was surprised to find that except for some owners who did not like to speak in the group. Almost every household has someone suffering from allergic rhinitis. The elderly are the susceptible group and the largest number of people get sick. Secondly, it was not a child, but a middle-aged man. Then there are the young people, teenagers, and children.

It seems that this disease actually discriminates against age. The older you are, the more likely you are to develop the disease. This trend is really weird.

——There

are many medical and pathology experts who have the same view as Xia Zhi.

Unlike Xia Zhi, an ordinary person with no medical background, in the eyes of medical experts and pathology experts. Allergic rhinitis, which has swept the world this time, has almost no rationale.

Except that the number of cases is proportional to age, there are no other rules.

There are currently no deaths from this disease, but such a large-scale, epidemic disease makes many experts uneasy.

According to the current results obtained from a small number of patients whose symptoms are serious enough to need to be sent to the hospital for drug intervention. Basically the only thing that is certain is that this disease is caused by dry air. But the cause of dry air is unclear. The composition of this dry air is different from the air before the black air broke out. There is an unknown substance in the dry air now.

It is such a substance that eventually enters the human body through the air. On contact with skin, it can cause dryness and tightness of skin. Contact with eye mucous membranes can cause dry eyes. Contact with the nasal mucosa will cause allergic rhinitis.

Such a substance is simply harmful to the human body.

However, such a substance cannot be further studied.

At the same time, after the black gas erupted, the person responsible for studying water resources also isolated the same substance in the water. Moreover, the closer the water is to the ground, the higher the content of this unknown substance.

After studying the air and water sources, experts unanimously agree on one point.

That is, the closer to the ground, the water and air will be polluted by black gas substances to a certain extent. There has been no further research on the long-term harm that breathing this polluted air and drinking this polluted water will bring to humans. But as you can imagine from this allergic rhinitis, it is definitely not a good thing.

Such research results have not been officially announced yet. We just started to step up publicity to get everyone ready to wear masks when going out. Because after emergency testing, this unknown black gas substance can be prevented with masks.

Of course, this kind of research and publicity is a matter for later.

——Currently

, Xia Zhi’s attention is on the owner group.

After an hour of therapeutic rescue, an owner in Building 7 said that Mr. Shen was not rescued in the end. It is said that allergic rhinitis triggers the onset of other underlying diseases.

The specific cause of death is unknown, but from an ordinary person's perspective, this is death from sneezing!

Not only did Old Shen die, Old Shen's son also had to pay medical bills to the hospital. Now the hospital does not charge money and instead charges rice for medical treatment!

When such a message appeared in the group, there was a lot of curses underneath.

The news of old man Shen's death was released before, and it was a pity for the owners below. But when they heard that the hospital did not accept cash but instead accepted rice for medical treatment, they turned around and began to scold the hospital for making money at a critical moment. Medical insurance is in vain, so are the unscrupulous hospitals and unscrupulous doctors.

Seeing such news, Xia Zhi felt very speechless.

Do these people think that medical staff don’t need to eat? If money is given to medical staff now, where can people buy food?

The aftermath of this incident didn't stop until Xia Zhi went back to bed and slept until the next day, but the group still didn't want to stop arguing.

Although sneezing can't kill anyone, constant sneezing can cause other diseases!

This panic has led many people to desperately buy masks at high prices and anti-allergy drugs that can relieve allergic rhinitis. When their needs were not met in the community, they naturally started blocking the community workstation on the rooftop every day, asking Director Liu to find ways to solve the residents' needs.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to go out now, Xia Zhi guessed that everyone might go straight to the hospital to find a way to get some medicine back.

And such chaotic days did not last long.

After the case of Old Man Shen, who died from other diseases caused by sneezing, sporadic cases similar to Old Man Shen appeared one after another across the country. Allergic rhinitis is not the cause of death, but it is the trigger.

As the number of deaths increased, two days later, the CDC quickly announced the cause of allergic rhinitis. Only then did people realize that the outbreak of black energy was the culprit.

Research on black gas is currently stagnant. The only way to prevent it is to wear a mask. Another one is to live on a high floor and try to stay away from the black gas coming out of the ground.

Xia Zhi is currently making chicken cakes in the kitchen while watching the press conference of the CDC on the tablet.

When she heard the spokesperson say: "Research shows that the special substances contained in black air are heavier. This means that the higher the floor of the residence, the better the air quality and the safer it is..." After such a sentence , Xia Zhi knew that the house would be lively in the future.

——The

idea of ​​summer solstice is not wrong.

Before the press conference was over, the public corridor where her floor was located had welcomed the first wave of residents with flooring. At the same time, many owners in the owner group found her directly through private chat mode and expressed their desire to rent her house.

This trend left Xia Zhi speechless.

She poured the freshly beaten egg flour liquid into the cake cup and put it in the preheated oven. Before I could adjust the baking time, the doorbell rang.

In the living room, the child He Feifei, who was playing with toys, said loudly: "Mom, someone is coming."

At the same time, the golden retriever KK was more direct and started to whine softly at the door.

Lao Mo, who was sorting things in the room, came out and looked at Xia Zhi: "Do you want to open the door?"

Xia Zhi shook his head slightly and adjusted the temperature and time of the oven in his hand. Then he walked towards the visual access control area. I found that indeed a few familiar neighbors came up.

If Xia Zhi remembers correctly, these people live on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors of Building 8.

These people had just sent her a private message and immediately climbed up from downstairs before she could reply. People who usually climbed up to the rooftop to get water and complained that their backs and legs hurt, now rushed up from downstairs in a few minutes. Xia Zhi felt speechless.

The doorbell kept ringing, and it was obviously unrealistic not to open the door.

Xia Zhi told Lao Mo, put on a mask, locked the living room door, and then walked to the entrance. The big steel door at the entrance was banging loudly now.

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. These people were so anxious that they didn't even ring the doorbell.

He simply opened the big steel door. The moment the door was opened, the inertia of banging on the door made the person outside the door almost fall to the entrance of Xia Zhi's house.

Xia Zhi glared at the other party and looked out from the gap between the few people blocking the door. Good guy, the entire public corridor has been occupied by so many colorful blankets. Because it is still summer, the bedding is not thick, and there are even children rolling and playing on it, which is very lively.

"Ms. Xia, I'm sorry! I just sent you a message, but you didn't reply, so we just came over." The

first person to speak was Lin Hebin, the owner of the fourth floor. This man looked quite gentle, but the glint in his eyes made Xia Zhi very uncomfortable.

"Ms. Xia, have you read the information?"

"Have you read the news about disease control?"

"Is your house for rent?"

...

As soon as Lin Hebin finished speaking, others couldn't wait to ask. If Xia Zhi hadn't secured the door tightly, these people would have wanted to rush in.

When Xia Zhi saw this, he slammed the entrance door shut. Then he took out his cell phone and made a call to the community upstairs.

"Sister Wu, please tell Director Liu. The residents on the lower floors of the community have already moved their things to the upper floors and are preparing to live in the public corridor. In this case, you must come up with a charter!"

Sister Wu, the community worker on the other end of the phone, has received many such calls from owners of high-rise buildings today. She is also very difficult to do. I can only report the matter to Director Liu.

Xia Zhi didn't expect the other party to do anything. Just be sure to mention one sentence to express your attitude. As for these people who seem to be rooted in the corridor, they probably can't be driven away. If people drive them away, they will be forced to die. Once they are out, the community will not dare to do anything.

"Hey..." After returning home, Xia Zhi sighed deeply. These people gathered in the corridor, which caused some changes in the actions of the family.

At the same time, the faces of several owners who were unceremoniously locked out by Xia Zhi all looked very ugly.

"Didn't you say that this woman's husband never came back from a business trip? How dare she be so stubborn." "

Hmph, if there weren't people from the community and soldiers upstairs, I wouldn't..." "Forget

it, let's go Ask on the 31st floor! Qian Xin on the 31st floor is so coaxable..."

Several people left the door of Xia Zhi's house one after another. She had no idea what they said, and through the access control system set up at the door, she was completely heard by Xia Zhi who returned to the living room at home.

Lao Mo listened on the sidelines, clenching his fists tightly. The two adults knew exactly what those people meant. Don't you just want them to rush in and rob the house without being guarded by soldiers? Such people are simply cancerous.

"Don't be angry, Old Mo. There is no need to expend too much emotion on these scum. They should be grateful that order is still being maintained..." Hearing Xia Zhi's understatement, Old Mo looked over subconsciously and found that Xia Zhi's eyes were gone.

any temperature.

yes! When it comes to surviving in this world after the outbreak of black energy, Xia Zhi's ability is better than anyone else.

Xia Zhi has already thought of several plans in his mind.

For example, the most direct way to deal with these people is to throw them into the black energy.

Or, you can use the hand-crossbow already installed in the space to shoot them.

Or, you can throw it directly into the space, and it will definitely be decomposed by the space immediately...

As long as these people really dare to take action, Xia Zhi guarantees that they will never come back...

-

"I said that the cooking at home today has been hard for the past two days. , I heard that the water in the public pool is about to run out! It’s all because of those stingy people. When the community property management said that they would add a public pool, it was those stingy people who refused to agree.” “That’s right! If you ask me, these people don’t have it

. They are entitled to use the water from the public pool in the community. Let them die of thirst..."

...

Early in the morning, Xia Zhi opened the big iron door of the entrance and heard such chatter.

In fact, following the press conference of the disease control department the day before yesterday, almost all residents in the entire community, including their building, below the 10th floor are rooted on the high floors. Those who could afford it moved into the homes of other high-rise owners. Those who are incompetent will seize the public corridors on high floors.

The public corridor in front of Xia Zhi's house has become one of the feng shui treasures of the entire community because it has the highest floor.

Relying on the access control system installed at the door, Xia Zhi saw people fighting for a bed more than once.

It's not that the community hasn't taken care of it, but it's not easy to handle. As soon as the police stopped, the elderly people in these people's families were lying on the ground, howling that the community was going to force people to death.

In the end, these people stayed in the public corridors on high floors. Some people even think that Xia Zhi takes up one-third of the public corridors, and want to force her to open up the enclosed section of the corridor to allow more people to live.

Such words will be ignored by Xia Zhi.

Some people want to cheat, and some people want to use fists. But when a few of them saw Kong Wu's powerful man being chased and slashed by Xia Zhi with a knife, they stopped thinking like this.

Of course, this also caused the enclosure movement in the corridor outside to progress very violently.

However, it may be because they have moved to a higher floor, or maybe everyone knows to wear a mask when going to a lower floor. The sound of sneezing in the building has decreased a lot in the past two days. It seems that allergic rhinitis, which is sweeping the world, has instantly reduced the chance of developing the disease due to the popularity of masks.

Whether there is any connection between them, Xia Zhi is not sure yet. However, the scene in front of her house was already extremely lively.

Several old men and women sitting on the carpet in the corridor curled their lips when they saw Xia Zhi coming out carrying a plastic bucket with a lid. But no one dared to choke her. It was actually Xia Zhi's last act of raising the knife that made these old men and women afraid of death.

Xia Zhi ignored the glares from these people and went directly to the rooftop carrying the plastic bucket.

The latest announcement has been posted at the rooftop water intake office, and the water quota for each person has been reduced again to 2L per person per day. Such water consumption in the summer has obviously made the sanitary situation of the entire community even worse.

During the summer solstice, while fetching water, I inquired about the news from the soldiers standing guard nearby. But the only answer he got was shaking his head.

She had no other sources of information, and there was no news about He Tiansheng who was floating outside. Xia Zhi could only walk to the community workstation to talk to Director Liu and ask about the water problem.

Director Liu was clearly impressed by Xia Zhi. After all, Xia Zhi was reported to have stabbed someone with a knife. After listening to Xia Zhi's question, Director Liu said inscrutably: "It is expected that there will be new progress in the next two days. Water shortage is not only limited to our community, but also to surrounding communities. The entire city and even most of the country have this problem."

After getting the answer, Xia Zhi felt relieved. Because she always felt that if the water didn't come, some people's hands would be stretched out.

——Several

people who were on guard against Xia Zhi now gathered at the home of Miss Liu and Qian Xin on the 31st floor.

"Qian Xin, do you think that girl named Xia upstairs really only has an old man, a baby and a big dog in her family?"

Lin Hebin is the owner of a logistics company who made his fortune from freight dividends in his early years. I bought my home in this community just for the degree that comes with it. Therefore, I bought a low-rise house. The family usually lives in a large villa in the suburbs.

Who would have thought that fate had played a joke on him.

Overnight, the country issued a nationwide evacuation drill. After traveling all over the country for so many years, Lin Hebin had a sharp eye and could see the secrets inside. At that time, large villas could no longer be sold at high prices. He could only reluctantly move to this community with his family.

Sure enough, what happened next was completely beyond his imagination. Some of his friends didn't believe in this evacuation drill and were now playing chess with the Lord of Hell.

Troubled times are coming...

This was Lin Hebin's first thought when he saw the rising black air.

Unfortunately, before he could do anything, the country immediately sent soldiers out to maintain order. All his ambitions could only be suppressed.

But it's different now.

Lack of supplies, lack of water, lack of medicine, outbreak of rhinitis, sudden high bonus from high floors...

These incidents are enough to make some people in the community have dark thoughts.

Lin Hebin, who has traveled north and south for many years, knows the badness of human nature very well.

In the past few days, he found a few familiar buddies and began to survey the entire community. Finally, some suitable targets were selected.

Qian Xin saw the glint in Lin Hebin's eyes and leaned on the sofa smoking a cigarette very nonchalantly.

"My mother-in-law said that the husband of the woman named Xia upstairs has gone on a business trip. I heard that she used to grow vegetables on her terrace. She was doing renovations some time ago and the vegetable garden was shoveled. Otherwise, If so, our food will be settled. Of course, her big dog is covered in meat, so it looks good." Miss Liu, who was hiding in the room with her child in her arms, heard these conversations clearly

. Chu. But she dared not say a word. Because my husband’s cousin and cousin are now living in the same room with her family. The guest room, study room, and children's room at home were rented to several families outside.

She didn't expect that her usual small talk with her husband would bring crisis to Miss Xia's family at this time.

"But the upstairs is too close to the rooftop. Those soldiers standing guard are seamlessly connected. We'd better start with those on the lower floors." People on lower floors are afraid of breathing air containing black gas particles, even if they have

masks , most people still choose to lock their doors and take their bedding to sleep in the corridors of high floors. As for the supplies at home, these people can only choose to lock them at home.

With such a convenient opportunity, I would be sorry if I didn't take advantage of it. As for the surveillance in corridors and buildings, as long as the lines are cut, no one can find them.

Several people murmured and discussed the next action of stealing things, not caring about being overheard by their family members. Anyway, if something is stolen and everyone uses it together, everyone is an accomplice.

Xia Zhi didn't know that a theft was being planned downstairs. When she carried the bucket down the stairs, she felt disgusted by the stairwell that had begun to turn yellow and smelly.

During this time, the people in the community were unaware of the absence of the cleaners arranged by the property. The entire stairwell became a toilet and a garbage dump.

If this continues, let alone allergic rhinitis. Many diseases will break out.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Xia Zhi's mind. She is not a savior and cannot save the world.

After returning home, Xia Zhi directly poured the water he got today into an empty stainless steel water storage tank. She decided not to use the water for the time being.

Everything is normal at home, and with Lao Mo's help, Xia Zhi can go in and out with peace of mind.

After getting the water, Xia Zhi continued today's stew work.

Worried about problems in the community later, Xia Zhi speeded up cooking food again. Natural gas has been intermittent for the past few days. At the summer solstice, I knew that the days to come would be difficult.

However, Xia Zhi did not expect that before the difficult days came, people would start acting like monsters.

——It

was past one o'clock that night, when everything was completely silent.

Xia Zhi didn't know why, but felt very uneasy.

She woke up from her dream and looked directly at the dark ground outside.

She felt that her eyesight seemed to be getting better, because she found that the black air that had been calm and calm like a pool of stagnant water seemed to be moving.

The surge was very subtle, but Xia Zhi felt that she was not dazzled.

The fear of black energy in her heart immediately deepened.

pó文: Qqún$号 +663?867!589

However, before she could continue to think deeply, a burst of screams broke the tranquility of the building.

It was a quiet night, and there was no one outside. This kind of scream is a little penetrating.

Xia Zhi is not that brave and just goes out to be a hero. She chose to call the community upstairs right away.

But obviously, the soldiers stationed upstairs are not vegetarians. Before Xia Zhi's call came, these soldiers were already running quickly in the direction of the screams.

At the same time, Lin Hebin looked at the owner of the seventh floor who had been stabbed by himself and fell to the ground, his face twisted.

According to his results, the family on the 7th floor has moved to a relative's house on a higher floor in the 6th building next door. He didn't expect that there would be people hiding at home without going out. And when he was breaking open the door, he directly fought with himself with a watermelon knife. If there weren't so many people on their side, they might have made a mistake.

Even so, he and the other four people all had some scratches on their bodies. And these wounds began to ooze blood now.

The owner of the seventh floor lying on the ground did not die directly. A large amount of blood spattered from his body, probably because he had been stabbed in the aorta. The four uninvited guests were caught off guard and were all contaminated to varying degrees. In the darkness, they did not notice that the wounds on their bodies began to turn an unknown black color after being stained with the blood of the owner on the seventh floor.

This tragedy ended with the soldiers arriving in time and the four people escaping in advance.

In order to rescue the wounded, the soldiers did not directly search for who committed the crime. Instead, they contacted the medical helicopter as soon as possible and wanted to send the person to the hospital for rescue.

However, the owner of the seventh floor did not survive the medical helicopter and died of excessive blood loss.

The community and military departments responsible for managing the community have no intention of hiding this matter. Instead, he directly issued a statement of the situation and began to strengthen security patrols in the corridor to find the murderer. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that such incidents of wounding and killing are, in the final analysis, just to rob supplies. But now that black energy is rampant, the murderer can only be an insider of the community.

Xia Zhi saw the situation description pinned to the top of the group early the next morning. I couldn't help but think of what happened to me in my previous life. She has not yet been able to find those who broke into the house from within the community. But she believed that there must be a mole in the community.

She just didn't expect that the first person to be robbed in her life would be the owner of the seventh floor, a person she was not very familiar with.

Xia Zhi silently felt sorry for the other party.

Many property owners in the community abhor home invasions and robberies. Some people even risked allergic rhinitis and moved back home. After all, allergic rhinitis can be somewhat prevented with masks. But when the supplies at home are taken away, it will cost people's lives.

As for why the owner of the seventh floor and his family moved away, leaving him alone at home. Xia Zhi saw someone in the group reveal that the owner on the seventh floor had severe allergic rhinitis. I'm worried about infecting others, and I'm worried about troublesome relatives when I go to their house. Eventually the family was moved to live with relatives. I stay at home and look after the house. Who would have thought that such a vicious incident as murder and robbery would occur in a peaceful community!

While the soldiers were conducting intensive searches throughout the community, the five people who had done bad things last night were slumped in the living room of Qian Xin's house on the 31st floor, suffering from high fever. The four of them looked at the black and swollen wounds, filled with fear.

"Lin Hebin, why did the wound turn black in just one night?"

Even if he didn't have any common sense, Qian Xin knew that the wound would not turn black after being injured. The reality is not like a martial arts novel, and it also involves the use of poisonous blades. Moreover, each of them has stab wounds on their bodies, but the wounds are not big. Why are they black?

When Lin Hebin heard Qian Xin's panicked voice, he tried to calm down: "It's going to be black when it's black. What's there to be afraid of with such a small wound?" Unlike Qian Xin, who was a coward, the other two people felt the soaring body temperature, and their body temperature increased

. When the wounds turn black, you know they are infected. But why does infection make the wound black instead of suppurating? Neither of them knew and had no energy to think about it. The top priority, of course, is to lower the body temperature.

I heard that the soldiers started arresting people in every house, and they were worried that they would be caught. After all, the wounds on the body cannot be faked.

"Qian Xin, quickly bring out some of your antipyretics. We need to reduce the fever first." Lin Hebin said decisively.

Qian Xin, a coward, immediately asked his wife, Miss Liu, to find some antipyretics at home. Anyone with children at home will basically prepare some antipyretics for children. But obviously for four adults, only a 30ml bottle of children's antipyretic medicine is definitely not enough.

"You, go upstairs and ask for antipyretics from Xia. Her family must have prepared antipyretics." Miss Liu looked at Qian Xin forbearingly,

wanting to refuse, but she was afraid of being scolded.

Finally, she went up.

Xia Zhi looked at Miss Liu who came to borrow medicine and was speechless.

"Ms. Xia, just give me a 30ml bottle. I remember the last time we went to the drugstore to buy masks, you bought several bottles of antipyretics." "Didn't you buy them with me? One

bottle Isn't it enough for your children?"

Xia Zhi saw at a glance that Miss Liu's expression was wrong. Therefore, he was unwilling to give antipyretics to the other party.

Miss Liu's eyes flashed and she said pleadingly: "Please, it's just a bottle of antipyretic medicine. Is it waiting for emergency use at home?" The word "urgent"

made Xia Zhi's eyes narrow slightly.

She heard that before the owner of the seventh floor died, he said that he had hurt the person who pried the door open. It is normal for an injury to cause the body to heat up. Xia Zhi knew that the owners of the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors who had been evicted by her before had all moved into Miss Liu's house. Now, Miss Liu comes to ask for antipyretic medicine, is it possible...

If the guess is correct, it will be even more impossible for Xia Zhi to give the medicine. She bluntly rejected Miss Liu's request, ignored the crowd of people watching the excitement in the public corridor, and closed the big steel door directly.

"Oh, this person named Xia is not kind. Don't borrow things from her." "

That's right, this woman is not good. Neighbors won't even do a small favor to each other." "

Don't have contact with this kind of person. If you want fever-reducing medicine, you can go directly to the community to get it!"

...

Those aunts and wives in the corridor kept talking to Miss Liu about all the bad things about Xia Zhi. They completely didn't notice that after Miss Liu was rejected, her face turned pale and she murmured to herself: "Miss Xia, why are you so bad? I still want to tell you what those people in my family did..." Xia Zhi looked through the

family I checked the access control system and saw Miss Liu's mouth moving slightly. Although he couldn't hear the content clearly, Xia Zhi's intuition was not good. She doesn't know why, but with the outbreak of black energy, her opinion of Miss Liu is getting worse and worse.

Ms. Liu who left would definitely not dare to go to the community to ask for antipyretics. I can only sneak back home. Of course she was greeted by Qian Xin's scolding.

After the scolding, the four grown men with high fever shared the 30ml bottle of antipyretic medicine. At the same time, ask family members to use cold towels to help cool down.

However, I don't know what went wrong. After taking the antipyretic medicine, my body temperature not only did not drop, but began to rise sharply. It broke through to 42℃. This situation can no longer be solved at home. The family members of the four men looked at the head of the house who was burned and confused. Grit your teeth and prepare to report it to the community for help.

However, the next moment, a tragic scene occurred in front of them that people could not describe in words.

Accompanying these tragic scenes were the howls of four men. And the screams of their families...

The author has something to say:

Updated! thanks for your support!

Send a pre-order request to collect

the copy of "Daily Survival of Ancient Natural Disasters": Bai He felt cold all over as soon as he crossed over.

This coldness penetrates deep into the bones.

After figuring out the situation, Bai He only had two words in his mind: pills... It

was a rare cold in a century, with heavy snow falling continuously.

There was only a bushel of wheat, a load of beans, and some pickles left in the rice vat at home, and minced meat was hard to find.

The most terrifying thing is that this is an unknown ancient time.

Bai He wanted to leave it to die.

Just looking at her old parents on the kang who endured hunger to take care of her, she got up again.

Fortunately, with his own low-level wood power, Bai He felt that he could still manage with his parents.

But soon, God slapped me in the face.

After the blizzard and extreme cold, there are melting snow and floods.

After the flood, the plague was rampant and dead bodies were everywhere.

In order to survive, Bai He struggled to escape with his skinny fifteen-year-old body and his parents.

On the way to escape, bandits are rampant, children are exchanged for food, earthquakes occur frequently, and tragedies can happen at any time.

Countless people fleeing the desert gave up their efforts.

Bai He, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and persisted with his parents, just to cherish the days with his family.

Chapter 18

Even though it was broad daylight, this too shrill scream still spread far and wide. After everyone in the building heard it, they couldn't help but get goosebumps.

On the 32nd floor, which is closest to the 31st floor, Xia Zhi is dividing boiled eggs on the dining table. After hearing the screams, my hands trembled, and a hot boiled egg fell on the dining table, causing several cracks.

The person who reacted faster than her was the big golden retriever KK who was lying on his stomach in the living room.

I saw the usually naughty dog ​​quickly running from the ground to the big steel door of the living room and screaming at the door.

Xia Zhi ignored the things in her hands and immediately went up to hug the dog.

After KK was held in his owner's arms, his screams gradually became smaller. But he was still grinning at the dog's head outside the gate. It seemed like something was happening outside, making the dog very uneasy.

KK's strange behavior shocked the child He Feifei who was drawing nearby. However, she was very well-behaved and did not cry. Instead, he got down directly from his little plastic chair, and in a few steps he came to his mother's side and hugged her thigh.

Lao Mo, who was busy cooking the second pot of boiled eggs in the kitchen, came out and saw the family of three hugging each other. Xia Zhi asked nervously: "What happened?"

Xia Zhi listened carefully for a few times and determined that the screams contained more emotions of panic, so she shook her head directly: "I'll go out and take a look, you can watch at home. Let's go..."

As she said that, without waiting for Lao Mo to refuse, she took off her insulating gloves, put on her mask, opened the door and walked out.

As for why Lao Mo was not allowed to go, the reason was simple. In addition to the fact that Lao Mo is not an original resident of the community, she wants to regard Lao Mo as another safeguard for the family.

Because the neighbors outside were unfamiliar with her, even though they knew there was an old man in her family, they didn't know what he did or what he looked like. If they have an impression of Lao Mo, they will know that this old man has a strong body. He used to do field exploration. He is a man in his 50s and can carry 100 kilograms and climb stairs without getting tired.

As soon as Xia Zhi opened the big steel door of the entrance, she found that in the usually crowded corridor outside the door, only a few ignorant children were left, watched by two old people, and everyone else was gone.

You don't need to think about it to know that these people must have gone to watch the fun.

When I reached the safety stairs, I just caught a glimpse of military green clothes.

Xia Zhi cheered up and quickly followed.

Good guy! The corridor on the 31st floor is now more crowded than the Death Line X train during rush hour. I don’t know if it was because of the black air outbreak that I was trapped in the community for more than half a month. As soon as they heard the noise, even the shrill screams could not stop everyone's nature of watching the excitement.

The military-green figure that Xia Zhi saw just now had already pushed aside the residents of the community crowded on the road and entered Miss Liu's home on the 31st floor.

At this moment, the door to Miss Liu's house, which I thought was closed, suddenly opened.

You don't have to walk in, just get a little closer and you can smell a strong smell of blood. Several middle-aged men standing in front turned their heads with horror on their faces, as if they couldn't stand it. There were a few young people, however, whose expressions of curiosity were simply unstoppable.

Seeing these two completely different expressions, Xia Zhi subconsciously felt that the situation inside might be very bad.

But she didn't expect it to be so bad.

Thanks to her good eyesight, she could clearly see the living room facing the open door. The usually smooth and bright marble floor was now filled with pools of red and black liquid flowing slowly.

The source of this red-black liquid was four humanoid creatures that fell to the ground.

It is said to be humanoid because although these four people are wearing human clothes, the wounds on their bodies do not look like those that humans would encounter.

A middle-aged man wearing green short-sleeves and black sweatpants was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. But the arms that should have been there below his shoulders completely disappeared, revealing deep white bones, leaving only a pool of red and black liquid. The color of this pool of liquid was exactly the same as the wound on the opponent's shoulder. Judging from his face, he seemed to be the owner of the fifth floor.

A middle-aged man wearing a white old man's shirt and gray old man's pants. It seems that he should be the owner of the 6th floor. This man's condition was even worse. Half of his leg disappeared directly from the knee down, and the wound was the same red and black color.

Xia Zhi recognized a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and black suit trousers at a glance as Lin Hebin from the fourth floor. Good guy! The injury to this man was actually on his cheek. His usually gentle face now looked ferocious. The flesh and teeth on half of the face disappeared, and red and black traces could be seen vaguely at the wound.

Xia Zhi can even see his surviving tongue, trembling with wailing.

The only unlucky guy left is Miss Liu's husband Qian Xin.

This person didn't seem to be seriously injured, only one of his palms disappeared. Now he was lying on the ground, holding his handsless arms and crying loudly.

The tragic situation of the four people is really shocking and strange.

Especially the subtle black air lingering around their wounds.

Others Xia Zhi didn't know, but from her point of view, the black seemed to be radiating slightly in all directions.

As for the other people in the room, they were almost all frightened old people, weak women and children. I don't know whether they were so frightened that their legs were weak or because they were stunned. No one stepped forward to help these pillars of the family. Everyone's face was full of tears, and they looked so pitiful.

The arrival of the soldiers obviously made these people find a backbone, and they came up one after another. They said something to each other, but the words did not express what they meant and the language was messy. But at least it can help people piece together a rough idea.

After listening to Xia Zhi outside, he secretly despised it in his heart.

Good guys, they were indeed the ones who killed the owner on the 7th floor. Now you dare to seek justice here. How shameless this is!

As for the passers-by who were watching around Xia Zhi, some of the brave ones had already moved forward.

Like Xia Zhi, they heard the stories of these family members, and they stood outside and started cursing at the people inside.

It's just that these four people were not ordinary injured at first glance. The leader obviously realized something. After contacting the plane, he arranged for people to evacuate all the residents gathered in the corridor.

The summer solstice followed the flow of people home, and the corridors and stairwells were full of residents talking about it.

It would have been scary to have such a gruesome wound. However, considering that these four people contracted the disease when they went to commit robbery and murder, no one would pity them. While everyone despised these four people, they unconsciously started to make associations.

Some people speculate that the black wounds of these people were due to the fear of being discovered that they had committed robbery and murder, which delayed the wounds until they became necrotic.

But such speculation was immediately dismissed by people with some medical knowledge. After the wound is exposed, even if it is necrotic, it is unlikely to develop to such a bad situation within a few hours. What's more, it's not just bad there, it's downright miserable.

Some people speculate that the blackening of the wound may be due to poisoning, which can be seen by referring to countless martial arts dramas.

Knowledgeable people subconsciously feel that the wound is very similar to anthrax infection. It's just that this kind of speculation cannot be said in public. Otherwise, if everyone is running around in a panic, wouldn't they lose the chance of escaping?

These people looked at each other in the crowd and fled toward their homes.

Xia Zhi’s ears are very pointed.

It should be said that since her rebirth, her eyesight, hearing, brain power, and skills seemed to have improved unknowingly. The most obvious point is that she can carry the family's dog, which weighs several dozen kilograms, on her back alone and do 100 push-ups in a row without panting.

This leap of progress simply cannot be explained by common sense.

Especially after comparing with Lao Mo, this improvement is even more obvious.

She discussed it with Lao Mo and suspected that this change was related to rebirth and awakening space.

Of course, Xia Zhi personally feels that it has something to do with the ultimate blue light in the space.

That light seems to have become more active during this time.

Whenever people are quiet at night, there will always be something to give back to Xia Zhi.

Just when Xia Zhi returned to the 32nd floor and was about to open the door, he saw the fast-footed owners running toward the rooftop with buckets. From the looks of it, he must be going to fetch water.

The daily quota of water supply per person has recently dropped pitifully. However, the community allows water to be collected three days in advance. That means every household can get water for three days at a time. This saves people on lower floors from having to make more trips. Of course, when this decision was made, there were not many people living on the lower floors.

But according to the current situation, it is estimated that the people who are laying floors in the corridor will soon be scared to death.

——Sure

enough, the guess about Xia Zhi was not wrong.

It had only been about an hour since the tragedy on the 31st floor was discovered. She found that the bedding in the corridor at the door had been emptied. The corridor, which used to be as busy as a vegetable market, was completely silent.

The main culprit that caused all this was, of course, the four people on the 31st floor.

Someone in the group of owners secretly took a photo of the medical staff coming to rescue the person. Although the photo was quickly deleted by the community. But Xia Zhi has quick eyesight and has already clicked on the photo.

To be honest, she didn't expect that the medical staff who came to treat the four people were wearing fully enclosed heavy-duty protective suits. It's the kind of yellow isolation suit that appears in disaster movies.

As soon as this photo came out, together with the human bodies on the stretcher, which were all in pieces but still in pain, it was so visceral.

Those with big ideas directly asked in the group: "Aren't those four scumbags suffering from trauma?"

Those with big ideas asked directly: "Is it radiation sickness? Or is it an infectious disease?"

There are many people in the group who don't usually do anything. The owners and residents who have spoken, each have their own ability to judge.

When you see the government being prepared in this way, it means that things seem to be going bad.

Everyone retreated to their homes in fear, closing the door tightly and seeking some spiritual comfort. Even if their reason tells them, if those four people are really suffering from radiation sickness or infected with some infectious disease, all eight of their buildings or even the entire community will be wiped out in one go.

Xia Zhi looked at the various chats among the owner group and fully felt what mass panic meant.

She sighed slightly and put down her phone. I thought to myself, why has no one guessed that the wound and the black among the red and black on the ground are related to the black energy?

They are obviously so similar, even the frequency of activity is exactly the same.

Of course, even if the wound is related to black energy, it doesn't mean that the thing that caused the wound is not contagious.

The four people I saw today were all young and middle-aged men. This group of people, from an immunological perspective, is one of the groups least susceptible to disease. But today they are miserable. Xia Zhi wanted to know what they had done to make themselves look like that.

The answer to the root of all this should be related to the owner of the seventh floor. Unfortunately, the other party can no longer speak.

——Unlike

the Xia Zhi, where there were few clues, the relevant departments in Nanming City took action immediately after receiving the urgent report from the people below.

When the medical helicopter brought back several scattered human bodies and sent them to the Nanming Black Gas Research Institute, even though these scientific researchers were well-informed, they could not help but be frightened by the tragic situation of these four people.

The most frightening thing is such a serious injury. Before the black energy broke out, it was massive bleeding and serious injury.

But the wounds of the people in front of me stopped bleeding very well. However, the red and black substance stained on their wounds looked very strange.

This is the first time they have seen this situation. But according to the notice sent by Central City, it is said that this type of wounded has appeared there. The specific mechanism of the injury is not yet clear, but it must be related to the black energy.

Immediately, the institute's medical team came to take over and understand a series of circumstances before and after the injury occurred. for treatment and follow-up research.

At the same time, an order to temporarily isolate the community where the four people live has been issued.

——Everyone

in the community is not sure where the four people who were taken away were sent. Even their families were only told that the four people were sent to medical institutions for treatment. As for the crimes they committed, they will be reckoned with later.

Ms. Liu’s house on the 31st floor was bustling with people just a few hours ago. At this moment, it has simply become the scariest place in the entire community.

The medical staff wearing isolation suits who came before had scared away all the outsiders living in this home. Now only the original owner of the house, Miss Liu, and Qian Xin's distant cousin are left.

When the medical staff came, they had already disinfected the blood stains in the living room of the house. At this moment, Miss Liu was crying while using various rags and old clothes to wipe the marks on the floor. She wanted to mop the floor, but there was no water for her to squander.

"Afen, I'm hungry."

Qian Xin's distant cousin He Fangfang walked out of the room with a big belly and said unceremoniously to Miss Liu, also known as Liu Fen, who was cleaning the floor.

Liu Fen stared at He Fangfang, who had a rosy and bright face, with red eyes, and the villain in her heart roared: Your cousin has suffered such a big crime, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, how can you still have the face... No matter how you roar in your heart, Liu Fen's

face She still looks like a little daughter-in-law.

She had a pale face and clenched her fingers: "Fangfang, there isn't much food at home. Can you bear it? Dinner will be ready in more than an hour." Such a timid tone

. , which made He Fangfang feel a little nauseous. She didn't care about Liu Fen's embarrassment. Instead, she raised her belly that was about to give birth and said in a pretentious tone: "Oh! Fen, I don't want to either. My cousin is very nervous about this belly. This is our family's. Du Miaomiao. My cousin took me to have a B-ultrasound, and this is a son! You have never given birth to a son, so you don’t know..."

Upon hearing the word "son," Liu Fen remembered what her husband Qian Xin had said before. : Our cousin’s son will be adopted by our family in the future. You don't have the ability to have a son. When the time comes, we will raise our cousin's son well and provide him with his care until the end of his life.

Thinking of this, she finally dropped the old clothes in her hand and ran back to the room.

In the room, because the tenant ran away, He Fangfang and her daughter had already moved back to the guest room where they lived before. Now, on the wedding bed that had been slept on by many people, her daughter Qian Duoduo was sleeping in the middle of the big bed. Her little face is no longer as rosy and round as before, and even her hair seems to have turned a bit yellow.

Liu Fen felt slightly uncomfortable. But in the end, he took out the key, opened the locker at home, and took out a handful of white noodles.

——

Xia Zhi doesn't know yet about the bloody things that happened downstairs. In fact, after those people moved away from the corridor, she was so happy that she almost set off firecrackers to send the plague god away.

As soon as those people left, she started preparing hot pot to celebrate.

In these days of turmoil that can happen at any time, hot pot is really a meal that is missing.

This meal is a personal hot pot to take care of the children and dogs at home.

Even Gouzi KK made a small hot pot with pure hot water for him. Of course, it was Lao Mo who waited on KK.

Xia Zhi sat in a row with her daughter, adding vegetables to the small hot pot in front of her daughter from time to time. Occasionally looking to the opposite side, I could see KK eating so hard that he couldn't even lift his head. He didn't seem to be afraid of the freshly cooked meat at all. Fortunately, we prepared twenty kilograms of meat, which would definitely be enough for everyone.

"Mom, when are we going to go out to play?"

Xia Zhi peeled a quail egg and put it into her daughter's small bowl, and suddenly heard her ask.

"It may take some time."

Xia Zhi looked up at the still dark ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said something that she didn't even believe.

The black air outside seems to have become more active recently. It was different from the calmness some time ago, but gave people a feeling of being ready to move. It seems that no one else can feel this kind of imminence. Xia Zhi specifically asked Lao Mo about this. Lao Mo said that the black energy looked the same as when it first broke out, without any change.

With Lao Mo's comparison, Xia Zhi understands more clearly what's special about herself.

She cooked herself half a bowl of beef, and while eating, she considered whether to go to the stairwell on the third floor to take a look.

The closest place she had been to the black energy was in the Hanging Garden. There is still a gap of nearly two meters between the sky garden and the black air. The gap of two meters already made her feel the oppression of black energy. But if you reach the stairwell on the third floor, you can already face the highest point of the black energy.

After thinking about this matter clearly, Xia Zhi continued to eat meat. You have to know that after these people are outside these days, her family can only choose food that doesn't taste very good. In order not to let outsiders know that their family enjoys spicy food at home.

After eating hot pot, the weather got a little dark and the residents all retreated to their homes. Moreover, I heard that there was a chance that all the surveillance systems in the corridors and security passages were damaged by those four people.

Xia Zhi told Lao Mo twice and put on an isolation suit she bought. Put on a gas mask and head out.

She didn't know what black energy was specifically, nor did she know if this equipment was useful. But I feel a lot safer when I put it on.

Before going out, the big golden retriever at home came over and looked like he wanted to go out for a walk. He hugged Xia Zhi's thigh and whined coquettishly.

Xia Zhi looked at Lao Mo, who was playing with her daughter's toys in the living room. When Lao Mo saw KK's sliminess, he laughed.

"KK, go find your Uncle Mo. Let him play with you."

KK shook his big head, his round dog eyes showing grievance.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to take off the gas mask on her face, and said directly to KK's head: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take you out for a walk!"

Such a promise finally made this big guy obey.

He opened the door gently and looked at KK who was standing at the door watching him. Xia Zhi happily waved her hand and locked the door.

Some people may think that the black energy has exploded and the end of the world is coming. I have nothing to eat and drink, but I still have a big dog, which is really pretentious. Not talking about other places, not talking about the videos that people shared on the Internet. In their community alone, several people have killed and eaten their pet dogs, cats, and rabbits in the past few days.

As for such things, Xia Zhi would know that it was because of too little water that these people threw the blood and hair of cats, dogs, rabbits, and rabbits into the stairwell.

Xia Zhi did not blame others for being so cruel and eating such cute pets. Because in the face of survival, it is not surprising that someone can eat others. However, she will not choose to abandon her KK. In his previous life, KK died trying to save her. In this life, she will never give up on this family.

Walking in the stairwell, Xia Zhi saw the cat's hair and claws in the trash can at the corner of the 28th floor. She shook her head, carefully avoiding the garbage on the ground, and continued forward.

If she remembered correctly, the owner of those furry minions was the British shorthair raised by Aunt Wu with a broken mouth. I heard that Aunt Wu loves this cat very much. Because it is the most expensive gift from my precious son. Unexpectedly, this kind of love disappeared so quickly.

Because it was almost nighttime, the stairwell was dark. Occasionally light shines in through the ventilated windows.

Xia Zhi walked very carefully along the way, wearing a head-mounted searchlight and a hiking pole in his hand. While walking, Xia Zhi looked at a lot of trash cans. Trash cans on every floor were overflowing with garbage. This is because all their buildings have one unit and one floor. If it were a large community like that. If there are hundreds of units in a building, there will be no space for people to enter the stairwell.

When they reached the 7th floor along the way, Xia Zhi suddenly came to his senses.

It seems that the weather is still around 30 degrees now. Why is there so much trash in the stairwell, but no flies or mosquitoes?

It seems like yesterday that the massive influx of rats and cockroaches caused by the previous black gas outbreak happened. Those scenes are vivid in my mind.

How come it’s not even a month yet and it seems like all the insects have disappeared. Even if the soldiers disinfect them, it is impossible to kill them all.

If these insects died out so easily, they wouldn't be alive today.

There is currently no answer to such a question.

The third floor arrived soon, and Xia Zhi temporarily suppressed the questions in her heart. Also because he had arrived on the third floor, Xia Zhi focused on the black energy he was about to face. Instead, he ignored the occasional rustling sounds from inside the closed door of the unit on the third floor.

——

"S..."

Xia Zhi stood halfway up the stairs from the third floor to the second floor and gasped.

In front of him was a thick darkness, the kind of darkness that could not be seen to the bottom at a glance.

Black air lingered on the steps leading to the second floor, seemingly motionless. It was obvious that the black energy had only touched the top step a little. However, no matter whether it is with the naked eye or with enhanced laser irradiation, it is still impossible to see that little step through the black air.

And above this calm black air, wisps of black gas were floating. The gases kind of seeped into the wall and disappeared. Some continued to steam upwards and disappeared after touching the floor on the third floor.

This kind of rising black air cannot be seen in the hanging garden.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and wanted to take a picture of this scene.

As a result, she fiddled with it and found that the picture taken by her mobile phone only contained a calm black air. But he couldn't catch the traces of black air steaming upward.

Such special circumstances made Xia Zhi understand even more that black gas is not an ordinary gas.

And what exactly is this thing? from where? How to disappear?

All these questions have no clue.

But Xia Zhi can be known from the wounds on the four people today, plus the large-scale allergic rhinitis that appeared before. This thing is definitely harmful to the human body!

Although wearing protective clothing and gas masks. But Xia Zhi actually feels that such protection is probably ineffective. Therefore, she did not dare to get too close to the black energy. I just used my naked eyes and the help of lights over and over again to keep the data of the area covered by the black air in the stairwell in mind.

She no longer believes that the black air will remain at a height of 2 meters without moving. Just by the traces of black air that had been rising, Xia Zhi knew that the so-called temporarily safe days at the moment would no longer be safe soon.

He took one last look at the pool of black air that was like a dark steamer. Xia Zhi didn't look back and headed home. And behind her, which she didn't notice, slowly, the rustling sound sounded again.

Then, something seemed to come out of the closed door of the unit on the third floor.

——Early

the next morning, I had been thinking about the community all day long, and I was even so anxious that I couldn’t sleep at night. The first thing that came was not bad news, but a good thing.

The community actually had water...

Such good news that everyone was celebrating made everyone temporarily put aside their worries and became happy. What's more, when the water comes, it means that you don't have to take the risk of going to the rooftop to get water, and you can continue to stay at home for a while. No one is unhappy with this news.

At the community work station on the rooftop, Director Liu sighed after listening to the reports from several subordinates in other buildings.

Sitting opposite her was Company Commander Hu, who was responsible for the security work of the entire community.

"Look, Captain Hu, based on what the owners said yesterday, no one will dare to come up to fetch water."

Captain Hu is a tall and strong man in his 40s. After listening to Director Liu's report, he also sighed: "The latest instruction from above is to temporarily seal off the entire community." "

In this environment, it doesn't matter whether it is sealed or not."

The land routes were blocked by black gas. When you die, you are left to go to heaven. The problem is, humans can't leave without a flying machine. Of course, if you don't want to die and want to break into the black energy, that's okay. Anyway, reality will teach you how to be a good person.

Didn’t that live-streaming internet celebrity who wanted to do some zero-yuan purchases disappear without a trace in the black air?

This incident has served as a good negative teaching material for many people.

"That's different. We haven't found out the wounds on those people yesterday. I mean, don't panic so much. Life is like this, so it's better to live happily."

Company Commander Hu, who has always ignored life and death, has no regard for ordinary people. The idea is very clear. They have not received professional crisis training and can easily lose control when encountering something. There are more than 1,000 people in the entire community. As long as there is any problem, it will be enough for them to have a headache.

There are only three or four cases like the one in this community nationwide. Until the cause of that wound is discovered, this is the only way to deal with it for the time being.

As for the negative impact of this incident, they must also eliminate it as soon as possible.

About half an hour after the water arrived, the community work station sent a notice to the community owners.

The notice introduced in some detail the accident that occurred on the 31st floor of Building 8 yesterday. and the causes and consequences of the injuries to the four parties involved. The key point is that the other party is the first offender in the case of the owner on the seventh floor. The tragic wounds of the four people were blurred.

After reading the whole article of Xia Zhi, I probably understand the meaning above.

As soon as this notice came out, many residents were still skeptical.

Is there really no problem? Those black wounds are really not contagious?

The sudden joy of water did not completely blind people's vigilance.

The community probably understood this, and directly after the notification, they posted recruitment advertisements to the entire community.

The job type recruited this time is cleaners, who are responsible for maintaining the hygiene of the entire community.

There was nothing we could do without water before, but now that water is here, sanitation needs to keep up as soon as possible to reduce the chance of disease outbreaks.

As for the previous clarification notice, everyone was dubious. Well, the second notice ignited the enthusiasm of the residents.

As a community cleaner, if you work 8 hours a day, you can earn 5 kilograms of rice. It's almost like pie.

As soon as the recruitment notice came out, many people opened their doors that had not been closed for more than 24 hours. They all followed the notice and went to the community workstations in their respective buildings to sign up.

——Xia

Zhi woke up early this morning and felt that my cheeks were even drier.

I don’t know if it was due to the close contact with black gas last night. The mucous membranes of my cheeks and eyes were a little dry.

Xia Zhi put some Vaseline on herself and then some artificial tears, which made her feel better.

The phone's message light kept flashing. After she clicked on it, she found two notifications from the community.

After watching Xia Zhi, I knew that there would be people walking around the community soon. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. When she came back from the third floor yesterday, she felt a chill on her back. I always feel like there's something watching behind me.

The cleaners recruited from the community have to work directly in the stairwell. I don’t know if there will be any problems then.

One of the more interesting aspects of this notice is that registration requires on-site registration. In this way, people are unintentionally drawn out of their closed homes again.

I don’t know what this operation is for?

Xia Zhi thought to herself as she tucked the sleeping child into bed. After washing up, I went to the dining table, made myself a plate of three fresh steamed dumplings directly from the space, and started eating.

She got up late today, and Lao Mo was already killing fish in the kitchen and preparing grilled fish for lunch.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lao Mo wiped the apron around his waist with both hands and poked his head out of the kitchen. Yesterday, Xia Zhi went out to detect black gas, which scared him terribly. Fortunately, this kid was reliable and came back before it got completely dark. But the black energy is too dangerous, and he, Lao Mo, is really afraid that something will happen to Xia Zhi.

"It's late. The community just sent out two notices, you saw them, right?"

Xia Zhi sent screenshots of both notices to Lao Mo, just to see what the other party's opinion was.

"Looking online, it seems that most places have water today. Such good news appears in the community at this time. At least it can improve the atmosphere of the entire community. As for the cleaners, there are only three people in each building. It will be lively by then. I saw..."

There are too many monks and too little rice, it all depends on who will win.

After breakfast at Xia Zhi, I took KK out for a walk because I promised yesterday. Therefore, she had no intention of avoiding the crowd. I put a leash and a muzzle on KK, and said hello to the elder of the family, asking him to pay attention to Feifei. Then we took KK and set off together.

She also wants to go to the rooftop to join in the fun.

The rooftop is now as lively as Xia Zhi imagined.

Because of the recruitment regulations, only one person from a family can sign up. Now the entire rooftop is crowded with nearly 30 people. The arrival of the Summer Solstice only made these people think that the Summer Solstice was here to grab their jobs. They all glared at her.

Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to these glances at all, but quickly glanced at all the applicants present.

Then, her eyes met Miss Liu's.

Miss Liu, who used to be as green as a scallion and well-maintained, is now like an eggplant beaten by frost, with dry and flaky skin, and no trace of beauty at all. Probably what happened at home yesterday was too scary. Even though she is popular in the community, no one dares to stand around her now.

Therefore, she formed a circular vacuum zone centered on herself and surrounded by about 1 meter. It made her look pathetic.

As soon as Xia Zhi came over, Liu Fen noticed her gaze and immediately reached out and waved desperately at Xia Zhi, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

Xia Zhi shook her head and walked away from the crowd of residents waiting to sign up and be screened. We took another detour and walked directly to the large cable bridge connecting the 7 buildings next door.

Through the chain bridge, you can see the hanging garden below. In the free market of the Sky Garden, even though there was an epidemic of rhinitis some time ago, it did not completely stop people’s enthusiasm for exchanging supplies. However, as soon as the incident came out yesterday, many people were worried that it was something serious. Therefore, up to now, the hanging garden is still empty, without a trace of people.

However, during the summer solstice, I always feel that the leaves and grass in the hanging gardens are not as green as before. I don’t know if it’s because of lack of water for irrigation.

"A sneeze... a sneeze..."

The sudden sound of sneezing made Xia Zhi tighten the dog leash in his hand. She looked over and found KK grinning at Aunt Wu who had walked up behind her at some point.

Xia Zhi turned her head, just in time to see the other party's nasty look that she had no time to take back.

"What do you want to do, Aunt Wu?"

Aunt Wu didn't expect that her damn sensitive nose would suddenly attack, and she shook her head with a smile. Then he looked at KK's solid body with greedy eyes: "Xiao Xia, let's discuss it. My son and grandson haven't eaten meat for a long time. If you want to kill a big dog, can you give me some meat?" pó文

, Qqún number; +663*867'589

KK understood that the old woman in front of him wanted to eat him, and immediately made a threatening sound.

"If you love your son and grandson so much, it would be faster if you go back and cut your own flesh!"

Xia Zhi said, bending down to calm Gouzi's mood. At this moment, she really wanted to throw Aunt Wu into the black air downstairs. This kind of person is really annoying. Unfortunately, there are many people on the rooftop. And there are surveillance all around.

Aunt Wu stretched out her hand and rubbed her itchy nose. Her face was so dry that it was peeling, and the skin became raised one by one, revealing the pink flesh underneath, which looked very disgusting.

Hearing that Xia Zhi was so disrespectful, she could only stare at him helplessly. Until Xia Zhi left, Aunt Wu still couldn't bear to take her eyes away from the big golden retriever.

At the other end, after the people who signed up to be cleaners registered, they were selected on the spot. The three finally selected are all honest middle-aged women who are hard-working, capable and not lazy.

The rest can only lament the loss of job opportunities.

As a frail young woman, Liu Fen was unsurprisingly defeated.

She was about to go home in despair, but accidentally bumped into Aunt Wu.

Seeing Liu Fen's half-dead look, Aunt Wu rolled her eyes in response. However, her eyes rolled in the next second: "Xiao Liu, it's not that I'm talking about you. It doesn't matter if you have a hard time, but don't you still have a child at home? You don't know whether your man is alive or dead. If you encounter difficulties at home, you can go Ask the neighbors for help."

"Look for the neighbors?"

"Yes! Ask the neighbors for help. Just like the person named Xia above you, doesn't it mean that the conditions at home are good? Otherwise, how can you keep your skin moisturized? That one A big dog is even more fleshy. Tsk tsk, in this world, people are worse off than a dog!"

Aunt Wu said, and she caught Liu Fen's eager expression from the corner of her eye, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was almost revealing.

"Hey, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors!"

Aunt Wu sighed quietly and followed the footsteps of others to go home.

As for Liu Fen, who was left on the rooftop, she turned around and looked at the three people who had gotten jobs, feeling that she was really pitiful.

How could Miss Xia, a person without a husband, live a more prosperous life than herself? Her husband Qian Xin is still alive at least now!

Xia Zhi had no idea that she had been widowed, and this person was Liu Fen, whom she no longer wanted to talk to.

At this time, she and KK had been running back and forth in the sky garden as a form of exercise.

It's just that both the person and the dog have excellent ears. When passing several landscape trees several times, I can hear the rustling sound. One person and one dog looked at each other in perfect understanding. Then he slowly turned around and backed away in the opposite direction to the landscape tree.

The author has something to say:

Updated! thanks for your support.

Chapter 19

The sun in August is very strong near noon.

The lush and green hanging gardens in the past have become decadent and full of staleness. Even in bright sunlight, it gives people an eerie feeling.

Xia Zhi holds the dog leash in one hand, and is ready to pull out a weapon from space and fight with the other hand. KK, on ​​the other hand, followed the strength of the dog leash and retreated in sync with Xia Zhi. The usually soft dog eyes were now full of vigilance.

The rustling sounds are getting closer and closer, and Xia Zhi and Gouzi's retreating steps are getting lighter and lighter.

Just when Xia Zhi was thinking about whether to ignore what was going on here and run upstairs with the dog. From the grass under the landscape tree, black ants the size of melon seeds crawled out.

These ants may not look big in size, but they can't stand up to the large number. They suddenly appeared one after another, in an endless stream like an army. Moreover, these ants are all black ants.

When many people see this, they will definitely say that ants are just black, so it’s no big deal.

However, from the perspective of the summer solstice, each of these ants is more than just a black ant. One by one of these ants, wisps of black smoke would drift away from their bodies from time to time.

After crawling out of the grass, these black ants did not directly attack Xia Zhi and her dog. Instead, it was like a lawn mower, where they chewed up all the grass with their teeth.

Seeing this, Xia Zhi finally understood what those rustling sounds were.

Noticed that the black ant didn't seem to notice him and Gouzi. Without thinking, Xia Zhi bent down and picked up the dog, then ran towards the building. He didn't notice at all that the black ants behind him who had lowered their heads to weed suddenly all raised their heads. On the black triangular head, two upright tentacles suddenly touched together. Then, one after another, they chased in the direction Xia Zhi left.

"Aren't we going to walk the dog? Did something happen?"

Xia Zhi took the dog and ran directly from the sky garden back to her home on the 32nd floor. She felt that her legs were extremely sore.

While Lao Mo helped lock the door, he curiously asked Xia Zhi why he was in such a hurry.

Xia Zhi sat on the ground, wiped the dog's paws with a wet tissue, and said directly: "I just saw black ants." At this point

, Lao Mo looked puzzled. Xia Zhi quickly explained the difference between the black ants he saw and ordinary black ants.

"You mean these black ants have the aura of black energy?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, I don't know how these black ants were formed. But it definitely has something to do with black energy."

Xia Zhi thought of the news release before the black energy broke out. At the meeting, the black ants were displayed. At that time, those black ants were polluted by the black air and lost their activity. But obviously the black ants she just saw in the hanging garden were all alive and moving. And looking at the way they are chewing grass, it looks more like they are killing it rather than eating it.

This kind of weirdness makes people feel very strange.

There have been so many strange things happening in recent times that have never happened in my previous life. These things have to make Xia Zhi be more vigilant.

"We need to speed up and put all the food in order." The one

who answered her was Lao Mo's firm nod.

——At

the same time, rustling sounds began to echo in different corridors throughout the community.

A dozen newly appointed cleaners are distributed in the stairwells of their respective buildings, and are responsible for handling the garbage generated by the building during the packing period.

The three cleaners responsible for disposing of garbage in Building 8 are all middle-aged women. I saw them wearing isolation suits issued by the community, wearing masks and gloves, and fully armed with tools to pack the garbage in the trash can.

Most of the garbage that has been left out for a month is already in a fermenting state. Coupled with the high temperatures in summer, garbage has begun to flow out of the sewage.

This job of disposing of garbage is not easy. However, as long as there is rice, anyone can tolerate this kind of dirt. "When it comes to our building, Xiaoxia on the 32nd floor is more tidy. The garbage is well wrapped, so we don't have to clean it." A middle-aged woman said, using a broom to clean the scattered garbage

on the ground.

. They are currently disposing of garbage on the 28th floor. In the garbage, there were also blood and hair and nails from many small animals, which was very disgusting.

"Look at this Aunt Wu, their family is really disgusting."

Another middle-aged woman used a garbage clip to pick up a cat head with one eye missing from the ground, and put it directly into a garbage bag aside. He shook his head as he worked.

The remaining middle-aged woman snorted: "This family must have gone to steal other people's pets. In the past few days, I saw someone in the group saying that the family's cat was stolen. Maybe it was this family who stole it. ."

The three of them were cursing while cleaning up the trash. Completely unaware of the rows of black ants passing by them in the corner. Climb directly to the only unit on the 28th floor.

In the unit on the 28th floor, Aunt Wu is drinking rice soup.

The water comes to the house, and I can finally drink more water.

Even though I didn’t get to be a cleaner, I still have to celebrate when I get water.

So, Aunt Wu cooked a meal of meat porridge for the family today.

After washing the fresh cat meat, put it in to make porridge, which has a strange taste. But fresh meat is a very rare good thing at this time.

She was reluctant to eat meat and porridge, so she only made herself some rice soup. Then he looked at his son and grandson drinking porridge and eating meat with a happy face. Originally, the daughter-in-law was not qualified to eat. But if the daughter-in-law is not allowed to eat, the son will be unhappy. Aunt Wu could only endure it and watch her daughter-in-law eat deliciously along with her.

"Lili, don't eat so much. Let the men in the family eat more. Women will be lucky if they eat so much."

Xu Li rolled her eyes and ignored the old woman.

Such behavior made Aunt Wu feel that she had been provoked. She was just about to get angry when she suddenly felt itchy inside her nose. This kind of itching is very familiar, it is caused by allergic rhinitis.

Before Aunt Wu could leave the table, she sneezed more than a dozen times in a row and couldn't stop at all.

When she sneezed, a large pot of meat porridge was ruined on the table.

"Can't you sneeze somewhere else?"

Aunt Wu's grandson is thirteen or fourteen years old. Seeing that the meat porridge was destroyed, he kicked Aunt Wu to the ground. Aunt Wu was lying on the ground, feeling her stomach hurt from being kicked by her grandson. But there is no way to stop the nose from sneezing. She sneezed and looked at her baby son with pitiful eyes. As a result, the precious son grabbed his daughter-in-law and grandson and went back to the room to turn on the stove without looking back.

Lying on the cold floor, Aunt Wu shed painful tears. It’s all Xu Li’s fault. Since marrying her, her son has become less considerate. The grandson born was not well-behaved either.

Aunt Wu, who was sneezing in sadness, didn't notice at all. A line of black ants came in through the crack in the door of the house and spread in all directions around the house.

The same scenario happened in the homes of other patients with allergic rhinitis. However, these black ants did not do anything after they invaded. For the time being, these ants went unnoticed by anyone.

——

Xia Zhi did not know that black ants had begun to invade the entire community.

Now she was sitting at the dining table, taking out her laptop and continuing to do her accounting. This account of hers is not an account of household expenses and income, but an account of space food inventory. Among them, a workbook full of cooked food has been recorded.

Judging from the current inventory, nearly half of the rice, flour and frozen meat have been processed into cooked food. Because before the black energy broke out, Lao Mo went to get a large number of disposable lunch boxes and came back. These cooked meals make great single-serve packages.

The dog KK lying at his feet was wagging his tail and snoring in his sleep. A few hours of running this morning satisfied this guy's need for running.

In addition to KK, Mo was watching the fire in the kitchen. As for the child He Feifei, she was holding a tablet and watching videos that her father had taken. This little guy hasn't seen his father recently and can't go out. It was when she was thinking about her dad.

I don’t know how the situation with Comrade He Tiansheng has progressed.

There were still three days left until the day she died in her previous life. But Xia Zhi felt that this time, she would definitely not have another accident.

At this moment, the doorbell at home rang.

The sound of the doorbell was relatively loud, and even KK, who was sleeping soundly, shook his ears unconsciously.

Xia Zhi got up and walked to the video door to take a look. Good guy, it’s Miss Liu again.

Miss Liu could be seen outside the entrance guard, switching her left foot to her right foot, and her right foot to her left foot, standing at the door looking restless.

As soon as Xia Zhi saw her appearance, he knew that this person came to ask for help. I just don’t know whether I am asking for medicine or food this time.

She didn't want to open the door, but it was obvious that the other party knew that there was someone in her home. It's really annoying to ring the doorbell from time to time, but not to the point of banging the door all the time so that people can curse.

"How about I go get rid of her?" Lao Mo came out of the kitchen and suggested in a funny way when he saw Xia Zhi's expression of wanting to fall out.

Xia Zhi shook her head: "Forget it, I'm afraid she will lose control and kneel on the ground to beg you." It's not that she looks down on Miss Liu, but she always thinks that the other party is becoming more and more white.

Finally, Xia Zhi walked to the entrance and opened the entrance door. Of course, before opening the entrance door, she closed the door to the living room at home tightly.

"Miss Xia, you finally opened the door!"

Liu Fen finally saw Xia Zhi, with a look of grievance on her face. My eyes were fixed on Xia Zhi's plump cheeks, thinking that indeed Aunt Wu was right, Miss Xia must have a lot of food at home.

"Miss Xia, I'm sorry to bother you. I want to come over and borrow some food from you." As if she was afraid that Xia Zhi would refuse immediately, Liu Fen quickly added: "It doesn't take much good food, as long as it can fill your stomach." The last sentence was said in a very humble way, leaving Xia Zhi speechless.

"I remember that your family should still have a lot of food." The two of them grabbed a few days' worth of medicine together. At that time, Miss Liu told her about her family's inventory. Now that the idiot Qian Xin of her family has been taken away, logically there should be a lot of inventory left.

Seeing Xia Zhi say this, Liu Fen knew that the other party wanted to refuse again: "Miss Xia, if you don't pity me, just pity Duoduo! Duoduo is so young, and the little food at home can't provide enough nutrition. ."

Xia Zhi heard her using the child as an excuse, but still shook her head firmly. If she heard correctly, supplies would be restarted soon. Besides, the reason why Miss Liu's family is so poor is because they have two outsiders.

"Here are some packets of candy. You can take them back to Duoduo to eat!"

Xia Zhi did not agree to Miss Liu's request in the end. Instead, he took out a few packs of candies that had been placed in the entrance cabinet all morning. Put it into Miss Liu's hand. Then directly close the entrance door.

Looking at the big steel door closed in front of her, Liu Fen felt that Xia Zhi was so evil.

Obviously there are a lot of good things at home, otherwise a dog would not be raised so well. My own Duoduo has not been able to eat a full meal for more than 20 days. Her face has lost weight, her hair has become yellow and dry, and her skin has become flaky due to the increasingly dry air.

This world is really unfair. Why didn't those black-hearted people be taken away by the outburst of black energy?

Miss Liu clenched the packs of candies in her hands. She was full of resentment towards Xia Zhi who gave her candy. But I couldn't bear to throw away the bags of candies in my hands. I can only walk along the stairs towards home.

She was so angry that she didn't notice it at all. When she opened the door to her home, a row of small black ants took advantage of the situation and followed her into the door.

"Eating secretly at a young age. You will be imprisoned when you grow up."

Liu Fen, who was in despair, did not expect that as soon as she entered the house, she happened to see her three-year-old daughter being raped by a distant relative. My cousin slapped me several times.

"Cousin, let go!"

He Fangfang saw Liu Fen coming in, holding a few bags of colorful things in her hands. She rolled her eyes and grabbed her mother's hand: "Mom, the child is disobedient and likes to steal. You can teach him slowly. Don't break the child casually." The

hypocritical words and the deliberately high tone made the zygomatic child The tall-boned cousin curled her lips.

"Afen, you came back just in time. You daughter, tsk tsk, it's not very good! She actually stole the beef jerky in our cabinet to eat. Tell me, food is so valuable these days! And, those pieces of beef jerky , but Qian Xin bought it for my daughter to raise a baby."

When Liu Fen heard the other party specifically mention the word Qian Xin, a painful expression flashed across her face. She couldn't figure out why her life had reached this point. It was obviously so good before! Her husband is responsible for making money to support the family, and she is responsible for looking beautiful. The daughter is lively and well-behaved, and the family is rich. The neighbors are easy to get along with, and the relatives are also very nice.

Now these two relatives in front of me are simply evil people.

She turned her resentment towards Xia Zhi into courage and glared at the mother and daughter in front of her. He started to carry his daughter back to the room.

Hearing the banging sound of the door closing, He Fangfang looked at her mother: "Mom, look at her..."

"Bah. Tell me how you found such a family back then!" He Fangfang's mother was very unhappy. .

Compared with the life before, this kind of life is like heaven and earth.

Because of her excitement, she sneezed several times in succession. She also has allergic rhinitis. However, because Liu Fen had some anti-allergic medicine for her children in her hand, she took it and took it, and her health improved a lot. I don’t know why today, but suddenly my nose felt very itchy, and I couldn’t help but sneeze several times in a row.

In her hurry to find a tissue, she completely failed to notice that there were many ants crawling back and forth in the corner, the tentacles on her forehead waving desperately.

——In

the next two days, the community was very quiet.

The only excitement may be that there are cleaners in the building. These cleaning workers work very hard and deliver the packed garbage to the rooftop every day, waiting for helicopters to lift it away with ropes. Some people have thought about throwing garbage directly into the black air downstairs. But this practice was immediately banned.

At present, the Academy of Sciences still has no way to deal with the black gas that is two meters high on the ground. There has been no new research progress on this black gas for nearly a month after it erupted. It's like the black energy comes from a world that humans can't fathom.

On the summer solstice, I have no plans to go out at all. Prepare food at home every day and practice shooting skills. She would also spend an hour every day telling the children at home about this strange world that had changed.

As for the news on the Internet, the ones coming back and forth are mostly stay-at-home survival types. Some people have few supplies at home and no longer have anything to eat. But because there are community work stations and military personnel stationed in all major communities across the country, these units will lend a helping hand when there is no food. This virtually reduces the chance of confusion.

Life is going so smoothly, and naturally someone discovers traces of ants in their home or community. But this creature is small and not very lethal. After all, it is black ants instead of termites that appear, which attracts less attention.

Everyone on the Internet is looking forward to when the country will complete the construction of the new factory. When can supplies be restored again?

Everything seemed so bland and boring.

And under such circumstances, the community soon faced another crisis.

It was the third day after Xia Zhi discovered traces of black ants, just one month after the outbreak of black energy, and it was the anniversary of Xia Zhi's death before his rebirth.

Early in the morning on this day, the summer solstice was just like usual. I got up early to work, nothing was different.

Careless Lao Mo didn't even remember what day it was. It was just that after Xia Zhi got up early in the morning, he prepared a big pot of meat for the family dog, and he even reached out and rubbed his hand in a funny way as KK watched the meat cooking in the pressure cooker eagerly.

At this time, Xia Zhi was standing by the kitchen window and heard the sound of quarreling coming from the kitchen downstairs.

Because the layout of the units in the community is consistent. Directly below her kitchen is the kitchen of Ms. Liu's house on the 31st floor.

At first, Xia Zhi didn't pay much attention to what happened downstairs. In fact, after the black energy broke out, she became more and more distant from him. Although it is unfortunate that disasters sometimes occur, what is even more unfortunate is that disasters can make you see a person's true face clearly.

Xia Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and plugged in the pressure cooker.

At this time, the quarrel downstairs got louder. But Xia Zhi just shook his head and was not ready to meddle in other people's business.

At the same time, a very bloody quarrel was taking place downstairs.

Things have to start at around 5 o'clock in the morning.

Since the black air broke out, Liu Fen wakes up around 5 a.m. every morning. After she gets up, she needs to fetch water, cook breakfast, clean up the whole family, and prepare lunch. Life has always been so busy. Even after her husband Qian Xin was taken away due to robbery and injury, this habit of nearly a month did not change.

When Liu Fen got up early this morning, she no longer had to go to the rooftop to fetch water because of the water supply. So I got a big bucket of water and lifted it to the balcony. Wash clothes while basking in the sun. As for why the washing machine is not used, it is very simple. The washing machine was damaged by He Fangfang and her daughter.

The balcony is in the living room, but very close to the next door room.

Liu Fen used to wash clothes slowly with her hands, so the mother and daughter in the next room did not notice her movements. Mother and daughter are nestled together now, talking in private.

"Mom, I really don't want this belly. Qian Xin is useless. I don't know if he will come back in the future. Now this belly is useless." He Fangfang was lying on the bed, blowing the fan that made a rattling sound, and was full of emotions

. Head sweating profusely. Because of the dark air outside, no one dares to turn on the air conditioner recently. It was August and pregnant women were particularly afraid of heat, which made He Fangfang very uncomfortable.

"You can't help it even if you think about it! Where can I go to get an abortion now? If I go to the hospital, I have to call a helicopter and provide food. We don't have so much food." He Fangfang's mother said, with a look on her face

. His expression is also ugly.

"At the beginning, I said that Qian Xin didn't look like a rich man, and I told you not to associate with him. Look, the end of the world is coming before you even have time to give birth to a baby. It's hard to move in. , but before the child was born, the father saw that everyone was dying. If you ask me, if the child is born, he will just throw it downstairs. Anle..." He Fangfang listened to her mother's words.

I think it makes perfect sense. Anyway, this piece of meat is really a burden now. She has to find meal tickets again, which is also a drag.

After giving birth, if you throw it into the black air, no one will know what will happen.

"However, this Qian Xin is not good and that is not good, but one thing is good. This wife is a good wife, just like a fool." "What a fool, then a whole white lotus, or

something Plant. Bah, this kind of woman is really a waste of food."

...

Liu Fen didn't know when she stopped rubbing the clothes in her hands. There was a buzzing in her ears, as if she heard a lot of things, but also seemed to hear nothing at all. She was stunned like a wooden person.

The sunshine in August is very strong, and it shines hot on my body. But Liu Fen felt that her heart was cold.

It turns out that she turned out to be a victim.

It turned out that there was a bastard in that woman’s belly.

It's ridiculous that she still wants to listen to her husband and raise that bastard to support her until her old age.

Liu Fen felt that her life was a big joke at this time.

"Afen, is breakfast ready?"

I don't know when, He Fangfang's arrogant voice came to mind again in the room next door.

Liu Fen put down the clothes in her hands and stood up as a reflex to go to the kitchen. Then she stopped again. Turn around and walk into your room. In the room, my daughter was sleeping soundly in the middle of the big bed. This child has been very sleepy recently because he doesn't have enough to eat.

As for why she couldn't eat enough, it was because she was an incompetent mother who gave all the food and nutrients in the family to the two mothers and daughters.

Thinking of this, Liu Fen's dull eyes finally regained some sparkle.

She rolled her eyes, walked to the bed, stretched out her hand and touched her daughter's thin little face.

"Don't worry, my dear! Mom will be a good mother in the future."

As she said that, Liu Fen chuckled. Then, he got up and went to the locker and took out a bottle of white pills that the doctor had prescribed before. Then went directly to the kitchen.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Liu Fen knocked on the door of He Fangfang's mother and daughter's room.

After the two came out, they found a pile of fried bacon on the dining table.

Oily, with a sweet and greasy spice flavor. Mother and daughter would never even look at such cheap bacon before. But this time, both of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Eat! Fangfang. The bacon is specially made for you. You are about to give birth, so you need to eat something good to replenish your strength. Otherwise, you will suffer when you give birth to a child..." But you will suffer... you will

suffer

...

He Fangfang and her daughter, who were immersed in the delicious bacon, did not consider why Liu Fen refused to hand over the bacon before. Why did he change his gender all of a sudden?

If the two of them raised their heads at this time, they would find Liu Fen, who used to look as soft and weak as a white lotus. At this moment, the two eyes were looking at them, like looking at pieces of meat on a chopping board, emitting a faint green light.

After eating the bacon, the mother and daughter suddenly felt that their eyelids were heavy again. He patted his butt and said hello without saying anything, yawned and went back to the guest room to continue sleeping.

In the past, Liu Fen would feel resentful when she saw what their mother and daughter did. But this time, the smile on her face became even brighter

...——

Xia Zhi didn't know what was going on downstairs. I just felt that there was a quarrel early in the morning, and then it stopped quickly. She didn't care, because there were all weirdos downstairs, and it wouldn't be strange even if they started fighting.

She is watching the situation on the Internet at the moment.

In the past two days, traces of black ants have been discovered in other parts of the country. But many people think it’s normal to have ants in their homes. Creatures like ants will appear no matter whether you live on the 30th floor or the 80th floor. As long as they don't appear on a large scale, it's better than cockroaches and rats.

Because they were trapped in the community, many people also uploaded Ant's videos to the Internet.

Xia Zhi looked through several videos and found that these ants were all black ants. Ant species vary in size in different cities, but without exception, these ants are all black ants. And it's still the kind of ant that exudes a slightly black air.

The blackness across the screen is almost negligible. Xia Zhi also speculated from the description of the video that these ants should also be black air ants.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but look at the main road in the distance, which was still covered in black air.

The black energy surged more and more. I wonder if there are any monsters lurking underneath.

Xia Zhi was thinking this, and KK, who was lying in the doghouse in the living room, suddenly screamed.

She immediately put down her phone and walked over, hugged the dog and said, "KK, what's going on?"

Her answer was that KK kept barking at the window.

However, the windows at home have been sealed with tape because of allergic rhinitis. I don’t know what this big guy’s name is.

Xia Zhi knows that dogs don’t bark for no reason. She hugged her dog and walked around every exit of the house. It turned out that only under the window in the living room, KK's nose would twitch and then scream.

This means that it is very possible that something is happening in the same direction of the building.

However, it is obviously unrealistic for her to knock on doors one by one.

What Xia Zhi could finally do was hold the dog and stay away from the window.

As for what happened, it's not something she can act like a hero to find out.

This world has gradually begun to collapse.

——At

the same time, just below the window where KK called before, a bloody incident was taking place.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah, right,"

He Fangfang screamed in fear, her mouth was stuffed with smelly socks, her hands and feet were fixed to the chair with tape. However, the only sound that came out was a whine.

Liu Fen held a sharp bone chopping knife imported from country D in one hand, and lifted He Fangfang's chin, which was stained with saliva and tears, with the other hand. He patted the opponent's cheek with the cold blade.

"Hehe..."

"Do you think you are very smart, playing tricks on me?"

"It's all your fault, you turned my husband into a bad guy."

"You want me to raise a bastard for you."

Every time you say something Then, the bone chopping knife followed the cheek, passed the neck, reached the chest, and finally reached the abdomen that was completely exposed at some point.

Liu Fen looked at the big belly, patted it with the back of her knife, and let out a giggle.

"Isn't this your son? How important a son is! He must be bored staying in a dark belly. Can I help you..."

As she said that, Liu Fen didn't care about He Fangfang's struggling body and fear. Eyeballs that are about to pop out of their sockets. The knife went straight down and blood splattered everywhere.

Hot blood spurted all over Liu Fen's head and face. She stretched out her hand and felt quite comfortable. Liu Fen even stuck out her tongue and licked the blood on the corner of her mouth.

Blood dripped down her fingers onto the marble floor, blooming bright red stamens one after another.

He Fangfang rolled her eyes and fainted from the pain of the knife.

Liu Fen obviously didn't intend to let her go like this.

Instead, he continued to use the tip of the knife to draw a large circle along He Fangfang's belly. It seemed that he wanted to cut open the opponent's stomach directly.

In fact, she did the same.

When Liu Fen forcibly dug out a bloody child from He Fangfang's belly, the child had been covered in rotten flesh with a sharp knife and had lost all signs of life.

There was a strong smell of blood, and because of the fear of being discovered, the doors and windows were closed and the curtains were drawn up to create a sealed space. At this moment, it was like purgatory...

Liu Fen looked at the child whom she had placed her wish to retire in, and smiled like a pervert. She held the child who was like rotten meat in her arms and sang Lullaby.

She was so immersed in the joy of revenge that she didn't notice at all that as drop after drop of blood smeared and pool after pool of blood flowed, the black ants that had been hiding in the corner began to move out.

Human blood carries biologically unique pheromones. This fresh pheromone stimulates these strange hidden creatures at this moment.

I don’t know how these black ants communicate.

Not only the ants on the 31st floor of Building 8, but also other families where black ants are hiding. At this moment, all the ants seemed to have received a clarion call to attack. He waved the two tentacles on his forehead desperately and rushed towards the established target.

The target on the 31st floor is the blood in that place and all the creatures stained with the blood. There was also the allergic rhinitis patient who was unconscious in the guest room, He Fangfang’s mother.

In other building units, as long as someone has allergic rhinitis, the black ants will attack the target person like a hyena that smells meat.

"Ahhhhh..."

Screams rang out one after another throughout the entire community, the entire city, and the entire country. These ants are almost never found in high plateau mountains. But it also appears in the homes of many people in the community who suffer from allergic rhinitis.

They are small, but their teeth are frighteningly sharp. And as long as it is bitten, the wound will become black and red as if corroded.

There was no allergic rhinitis patient at home during Xia Zhi, and no blood flowed out.

But what was happening around him, not to mention the Internet, but just from KK's reaction to becoming manic again, and his own intuition, he knew that something terrible must have happened outside.

The screams were so intense that soldiers and community workers stationed in various buildings were immediately ready to help.

The cleaning workers who were doing sanitation in the corridors were completely confused. These people can be singled out, of course they are in good health. No one suffers from allergic rhinitis.

In the stairwell of Building 8, three cleaners were trembling and hugging each other. I looked at the black ants that came from nowhere downstairs and ran into the building on the 31st floor in piles.

Because the three of them were wearing protective clothing, the black ants crawling over their feet did not cause any harm to them. And because they were not the targets of the black ants' attack this time, they were miraculously unscathed.

When the soldiers came down from the rooftop and found the three people, they quickly asked people to take refuge on the rooftop.

The soldiers had already put on full isolation suits, carried fuel on their shoulders, and held a flame-spraying log cabin in their hands, heading towards the 31st floor where the three people said they were.

The door of the unit on the 31st floor was tightly closed at the moment, and there was no sound from inside.

When several soldiers saw this, they immediately gestured to each other. Then one of them takes out a piece of wire and goes up to open the door.

As soon as the big iron door opened, a strong smell of blood first hit my nose.

Several people had seen the world, but the presence of such a grand smell of blood in a residential house still made people feel very uncomfortable. When they saw the situation in the living room clearly, their eyes widened involuntarily.

The ground was covered with blood, human body parts and hair.

The whole living room looked like a hell on earth.

And those black ants were swarming in layers toward the bathroom.

Several people used burning wooden barns to clear the way while moving towards the Black Ant's goal.

Then, they saw a tub full of water at the open door of the bathroom. In the bathtub, there was a young woman lying. The water in the bathtub was red, and it looked like the young woman had suffered considerable injuries.

The burning wood barn continued to operate, burning all the black ants seen along the way.

"Is there anyone else here?"

A soldier asked the young woman who was still alive at first glance.

The young woman replied with a trembling voice: "My daughter is still in the room..."

As soon as several people heard this, they sent their hands to search and rescue in other rooms.

As a result, when I opened the guest room, I saw that there was only a red and black human-shaped mark left on the big bed, and a pile of bones and hair. Of course, there are also lots of black ants.

"I'm a fool..." I

didn't dare to burn the wooden barn in the room, so the insecticide used to kill insects was sprayed on the black ants.

After a round of search and rescue was completed, the soldiers found the three-year-old child who was still sleeping in the master room. There was such a big movement, but the child didn't wake up. Several people looked at each other and felt something was wrong. But what matters now is saving people. The few people didn't say much, but picked up the child and took him to the bathroom.

"The black ants are temporarily killed. Please take the child out of the water first. We have to rescue other people..."

Liu Fen desperately bent down to thank the rescue soldiers, looking like a pitiful little daughter-in-law.

Holding her drugged daughter in her arms, Liu Fen soaked in the cold water and looked in the direction of the living room with a bright smile on her face... The rescue operation was in full swing

.

Xia Zhi has already tied the child with a sling, ready to run away at any time.

Lao Mo carried Gouzi on his back and held the weapon Xia Zhi had prepared for him.

The two stood on the balcony and used binoculars to see the situation in other buildings. I found that the situation didn't seem that bad and was still within control.

After the first round of screams, some families without allergic rhinitis patients began to send messages to the owner group.

Most of these residents had no idea what was going on and became frightened when they heard the screams outside. They desperately posted messages in the group asking what was going on outside.

And those who have allergic rhinitis patients in their families are now in a state of hell on earth. Those patients with allergic rhinitis become the first targets of black ants.

The soldiers could only follow the screams and go to different floors for rescue.

Fortunately, fire logs and insecticides are still effective against black ants.

As the soldiers carried out rescue operations, many people who had no wounds or blood on their bodies were saved.

But most people who have suffered from allergic rhinitis are not so lucky.

Only a handful of them were unscathed because the soldiers arrived in time. Most of the remaining people were bitten by black ants with black and red wounds one after another. The skin and flesh where these wounds were located had long since melted into a pool of blood. Unfortunately, these people did not die immediately. He could only endure the severe pain caused by the wound.

Even a well-informed soldier would find such a tragic situation very cruel.

More surprising things are yet to come.

The soldiers survived one round of work, killed all the ants, and were just about to prepare for the placement of the wounded.

It was at this time that the black ants that had already been rattled by the burning wooden barn and that had been killed by pesticides were turned upside down. These ants, which everyone thought were dead, suddenly turned over from the ground, landed directly on all fours, and regained life.

The appearance of such a terrifying phenomenon made the residents and soldiers immediately alert and prepared to fight the black ants for the second time.

Who knew that these creatures were as if they couldn't see the living humans in front of them. One after another, they began to climb up the windows, balconies, etc. of residents' homes in a very disciplined manner.

Then one after another, like a ball, they hugged into a ball of black spherical objects. Then he fell directly from upstairs into the boundless black air downstairs.

Xia Zhi stood on the balcony and used a telescope to clearly see the movements of these black ants in groups.

She followed the ants' jumping movements from upstairs to downstairs. From the moment the ants hugged each other, until the ants were infiltrated by the black air downstairs.

The actions of these ants reminded Xia Zhi of what he had done on the same day in his previous life. This made her even more afraid of the slowly surging black energy and the countless black ants jumping into the black energy.

And just when she was frightened, the black energy, which had been as calm as a pool of stagnant water since the outbreak, showed obvious changes for the first time in front of everyone.

All the humans who were paying attention to the strange behavior of the black ants were stunned by the scene before them.

The author has something to say:

Updated! I wish you all good health in the new year, may all your wishes come true, and Happy New Year!

Chapter 20

"What are these damn ants doing?"

I don't know which resident asked this question. In a community that was quiet due to the strange behavior of black ants, it seemed particularly loud.

But no matter how much people ask, they are unlikely to get any answers.

pó文[Qqún号Jia 663,]867;589

On the contrary, the black air has been silent downstairs for a month, after countless ants fell into the black air like fallen leaves. The calm black air began to slowly roll. That kind of tumbling is a bit like heated hot soup. And those ants are like accelerants added to hot soup.

As more and more ants fall into the black air, the rolling of the black air becomes more violent.

Then, everyone could see a breathtaking scene.

That is, the rolling black air began to rise like boiling soup.

The black air that had already occupied a height of two meters above the ground gradually started to climb. One millimeter, two millimeters... five millimeters... one decimeter, two decimeters... one meter... The

black air climbed rapidly until it reached a height of three meters above the ground, and then slowly stopped its climb.

The entire process of rising black energy lasted less than ten minutes.

In ten minutes, the black air increased from two meters to three meters. Growth efficiency is as high as 50%.

Whether it is ordinary residents watching the rise of black gas, or the black gas research institute responsible for studying black gas. At this moment, the same two words appeared in the hearts of all humans: Pills!

As the black air gradually stopped rising, it began to slowly enter its previous calm mode. Only then did everyone have the intention to observe the black ants around them.

But where can I find traces of black ants now?

This strangely appearing creature, after attacking countless allergic rhinitis patients, mysteriously disappeared before people's eyes again.

Xia Zhi saw the entire process of rising black air clearly.

But she is more sensitive to the changes in black energy than anyone else.

Because as the black energy began to surge and rise, her space was also undergoing violent turmoil.

When the black air rises, the ultimate blue light in the space also emits a dazzling light simultaneously. Even if Xia Zhi cannot enter the space, he can still feel the blue mark on his chest, which is always exuding cold energy. This energy starts from the chest and spreads to the limbs and bones. At that moment during the summer solstice, I felt that my whole body was full of strength. What flows in the blood vessels is not just blood, but also an unknown substance.

And this change in her happened to no one but herself. Even Lao Mo, the children and the dog standing next to him were unaware of it.

Such a strange change, after the black air stopped rising, it entered silence again.

By this time, Xia Zhi was 100% sure that her space was definitely closely related to the black energy. I don’t know if this relationship is a blessing or a curse!

At this time, the sound of many propellers began to sound in the sky. Xia Zhi took back her thoughts and looked at the sky with a telescope.

More than a dozen helicopters landed on the rooftops of different communities. Some rooftops were unable to land helicopters, so medical staff came down from above carrying medicine boxes.

Xia Zhi's heart tightened when she thought of what someone in the owner group had said about the black ants' attack targets. Her family, like several families without allergic rhinitis patients, did not suffer any attacks from black ants.

The sound of propellers and the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the corridors continued for several hours. During this period, the plane must have made several trips back and forth, transporting many injured people.

The summer solstice is also at this time when we see casualty lists released by the community.

This time, the community was attacked by black ants, and eight people died on the spot from their injuries. Among these eight people, Xia Zhi actually knew three of them. They are Aunt Wu on the 28th floor and He Fangfang and her daughter on the 31st floor.

When Xia Zhi saw the news that mother and daughter died together, she couldn't help but frown.

Isn’t that He Fangfang a pregnant woman? When did she get allergic rhinitis? This person even has a big belly and a dry belly, and he keeps shouting everywhere. How is it possible to have allergic rhinitis and remain silent? This seems a bit strange.

What's even more strange is that two people died in this family at once. But Ms. Liu seemed to have no reaction at all. This is even stranger.

Xia Zhi did not forget that her dog discovered something before the black ants attacked. Just because Gouzi couldn't speak human language, she couldn't be sure whether something happened on the 31st floor.

"Hey..." In the end, Xia Zhi could only let out a long sigh and sigh for the people who died and were injured this time.

In the evening, the sound of propellers ringing over the entire city stopped completely. Officials finally released a simple briefing on the situation online. Report the whole story of this black ant outbreak, as well as the targets attacked by the black ants and the casualties caused. Many people asked in the comment section of the notice whether the rise in black gas caused by black ants will continue to happen. No researchers can answer this question yet.

And because of this black ant attack, the Black Gas Research Institute appeared in front of people for the first time.

"The only thing that is certain at present is that patients with allergic rhinitis are attracted to black ants. Residents please stay calm and reduce going out. Don't panic when you find black ants, please contact the community work station immediately." This is the Black Gas Research

Institute This is the first time I express my attitude in front of others.

It was also the first time that Xia Zhi noticed that such a research department had been established after the black gas broke out. I don’t know what this black gas research institute has researched.

——The

Black Gas Research Institute, located high on the mountain in the central city of the country, is now brightly lit.

All major populated cities across the country have set up Black Gas Research Institute branches on nearby mountains. The Black Qi Research Institute located in Central City is the main office.

This time there was a huge outbreak of black ants, and some of the injured people were sent to major black air research institutes.

In the Black Air Research Institute in Central City, several researchers were examining a wounded person who was still alive after his hands and feet had been melted by black ants.

Of course, this wounded man was also a victim of allergic rhinitis and was about 60 years old. This time, most of the patients with allergic rhinitis are middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. These groups have almost no ability to resist when faced with the menacing black ants.

"The black substance covering the wound should be produced after the black gas solidifies." "

Yes, according to the current research, it can be determined that this black substance is the macromolecular structure material formed by the black gas. I don't know how this substance can pass through the black gas." The ants infected the wound. Then the wound stopped bleeding." "

Black ants mainly attack patients with allergic rhinitis, which should be related to the content of black gas in these patients." "Black ants carry a large amount of black gas in their bodies. They attack humans

. Sometimes, it mainly depends on the black gas released from the mouthparts..."

A researcher in a white coat looked at a black ant placed in a sealed container and expressed the conclusion of his observation.

The rare occurrence of black and red wounds in the past has made it clear to researchers. The bodies of patients with allergic rhinitis absorb a lot of black gas escaping from the air. After this black gas enters the human body, it will cause allergic reactions in the human body. However, because the dose is so small, human health is still within control.

However, this black gas inhaled into the human body will slowly transform humans, causing the blood to turn black and become corrosive. This is why normal people's hands and feet melted before.

The hands and feet of these people were actually melted by the blood with black energy.

As for the melting mechanism, it may have an important relationship with the dose.

The reason why black ants can melt human bodies quickly this time is related to the black energy on the ants.

"However, according to the current research of major black gas research institutes across the country, we still have no way to analyze the specific content of black gas..."

-

Regarding the research results of the black gas research institute, Xia Zhi was not sure that the researchers were stuck in a bottleneck.

After calm returned to the community, the two adults, Xia Zhi and Lao Mo, began to prepare dinner. Even if the sky outside is falling, your stomach still needs to be filled first. What happened today was a relatively big impact on Xia Zhi. She thought that after the black energy broke out, the latest thing she would face would be all kinds of burning, killing and looting, but the first problem she faced turned out to be black ants.

Oh, and of course there's the rapid rise in black air.

Xia Zhi took out the braised beef brisket in the space and listened to the children's cheers and the dogs jumping with joy. But his eyes were uncontrollably looking at the black air that was one meter high outside.

Under the setting sun, the abyss-like area formed by the black air was like a big mouth that was about to swallow up all humans.

"Ding dong..."

The rice is cooked first, and various dishes are brought out from the space, all hot.

Just as the family was getting ready to finish their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang, which made people a little unhappy.

Lao Mo walked to the video doorbell and looked at it, shaking his head slightly: "It's the one named Liu downstairs."

Xia Zhi couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard it was Miss Liu. Two people in this man's family just died today, how can he still have energy?

She asked Lao Mo to take the children and Gouzi to eat first, while she closed the door and received the other party directly in front of the big steel door of the entrance.

"Miss Liu, are you okay?"

Xia Zhi opened the door and found Miss Liu wearing a beautiful dress. She looked weird.

Liu Fen didn't notice the strangeness in Xia Zhi's eyes. Instead, he gave her the warm smile he always wore before his black anger broke out: "Ms. Xia, I keep coming over to borrow things during this period, which is really troublesome for you. I cooked some dumplings at home today, and I brought some for you. This is to apologize for my rudeness during this period."

Xia Zhi then noticed that the other party was holding a shallow plate in his hand. Eight steaming dumplings were placed neatly on top of the plate. I don’t know if it’s because the dumpling wrappers are rolled out very thinly. During the summer solstice, you can even see the pink meat and green vegetables inside through the white dumpling wrappers. Such vegetable and meat dumplings were not considered expensive before the black energy broke out. But now that black energy is rampant and supplies are scarce everywhere, it becomes very precious.

Standing at the entrance door during the summer solstice, the heat of the dumplings was carried to my nose by the breeze. She even smelled the delicious aroma of meat.

It's been a month since the black air broke out, but Miss Liu's mother and daughter still have meat left in their home. This situation is so weird no matter how you look at it.

Looking at the plate that Liu Fen desperately pushed towards her, Xia Zhi quickly declined very wisely: "Ms. Liu, you don't have to be so polite. The things I gave are not for you, but for Duoduo. Your family's current situation is not easy. Just take the delicious food back to your children! You don't have to bring it to me, really. You don't need to be so polite, everything is about the children." After

Xia Zhi finished speaking, she closed the entrance door without waiting for Miss Liu to push or pull it. .

Because she moved quickly, she didn't notice that a trace of anger flashed across Liu Fen's face after being rejected.

Of course, the Summer Solstice is also very timely. After closing the big steel door, I saw Liu Fen standing at the door of my home through the video access control. Holding the small plate in one hand, he picked up a dumpling with the other and took a bite. A bite of the dumpling revealed the pink flesh inside. The meat was really fresh, and it didn't look like it was steamed.

When Xia Zhi saw the meat through the screen, she felt a creepy feeling for some reason.

Liu Fen didn't realize that her expressions and movements were fully visible.

She stood in front of Xia Zhi's house and ate the eight dumplings one by one, as if she were going to a morning tea shop for breakfast. She was very comfortable.

"There's something wrong with this guy."

After reading it from the side, Lao Mo pointed out the key point.

Xia Zhi didn't know if she was thinking too much. A very unbelievable guess flashed in her mind. She laughed dryly, and then replied: "There must be something wrong with her. If she comes here again, I won't open the door. I can't eat any food she brings over." Xia Zhi said and walked directly to the dining table

. , and told her daughter who was eating.

——Three

days have passed since the black ant outbreak. These three days can simply be described as calm.

The black air was stable, the black ants did not appear again, and everything seemed so peaceful.

Even when the country began to distribute relief materials to people, there suddenly seemed to be a bit of joy.

However, everyone knows that the world cannot be better.

If the two-meter-high black gas brought by the first black gas outbreak made it difficult for people to move and continue to work. The black air suddenly rose one meter three days ago, making people understand that the black air could not be stopped by humans. The black energy will only get higher and higher and cannot be contained.

It is this kind of thinking that caused many pessimistic people to jump off tall buildings in the past three days and die silently.

Fortunately, the country discovered this pessimistic mood in time and began to broadcast the progress of various construction projects on some plateaus and mountains on the Internet. One of these projects is to house factory production equipment. As long as the factory production equipment is installed, it can recruit workers from the whole society.

In addition to this, a nationwide material relief work has also begun.

Regardless of age, as long as residents are registered in the community, they can receive free material packages distributed by the state.

On the morning of the third day after the outbreak of black ants on the summer solstice, I went to the rooftop to receive my own supply package. One for each person, and their family of three has three supply kits.

Xia Zhi took the supply package home and opened it, and found that it contained a 100-gram package of chocolate, a 100-gram package of milk powder, a 5-pound package of rice, a 1-pound package of dried shrimp, and a 1-pound package. of compressed vegetables.

Such supplies can simply be described as abundant at this time. Apart from anything else, the dried shrimp alone can make many people cheer.

After Xia Zhi's family received the supply package, they cooked a seafood soup with dried shrimps and compressed vegetables.

Seafood is a commodity that everyone is lacking now.

During the summer solstice, I saw the news released by the country, which showed that the ocean was completely covered by black air. As for those marine creatures living in the ocean, nine out of ten have been completely dissolved by the black air.

Abundant supplies and future recruitment have well curbed the pessimism that permeated society.

The residents started to live again, cleaners appeared in the buildings again, and everything was moving in the direction of getting better.

The summer solstice marks the beginning of a life in which, except for going out once a week to collect supplies, the rest of the time is spent on exercising. She always felt that it wasn't just ants that mutated. Other creatures may also be affected by black energy.

And in the black air on the ground that cannot be seen at the summer solstice, those ants jumping down from the upstairs have not disappeared, let alone died.

After they landed on the ground, they separated one by one, and were then wrapped in black air. And in the package of black energy, the ant's hands and feet, which should still be black, began to emit a strange light.

——

"Please pay attention, please pay attention. The community physical examination will be completed within this week. Please enter the mini program to make an appointment. Go to the rooftop community workstation on time for the physical examination." The loudspeaker in the community played a loop

about the physical examination. Xia Zhi was at home packing up the bean sprouts in the planting house. Hearing the notification that kept playing on a loop, I couldn't help but smile.

The topic of physical examination has been a hot topic on the Internet these days. Not only in their community, but all over the country are preparing for physical examinations. This physical examination can be said to be a national physical examination. As for the purpose of the physical examination, it is apparently to obtain data so that subsequent arrangements can be made for working in factories on the plateau and high mountains. But Xia Zhi felt that this physical examination was to find out how many people had allergic rhinitis.

Although the black ant attack a week ago has dealt a fatal blow to a large number of allergic rhinitis patients. But obviously, this group has a large base. According to the rough information obtained by Xia Zhi, the blood color of patients with allergic rhinitis will turn black. The darker the color, the greater the amount of black gas inhaled in the body.

This kind of gossip about black energy has been circulating on the Internet during this period.

And after the official did not come out to refute the rumors or delete the news, it further strengthened the credibility of these news.

In the owner group, many people are actively discussing what time is better to make an appointment for a physical examination. During this period, thanks to the free relief supplies, everyone’s mental outlook has improved a lot. Coupled with the fact that major factories are soon recruiting workers, it has ignited people's enthusiasm for life. Everyone seems to have selectively forgotten the tragedy caused by the previous black ant outbreak. All the people who were injured at that time were sent away, one by one. There is no sign yet of anyone returning.

Xia Zhi opened the mobile app and made an appointment for the family's physical examination in the early morning. During that time, there were the fewest people.

"Mom..."

He Feifei, a child, came over with a tablet in her hand. Obviously, the little one was thinking about her missing father again.

By the way, He Tiansheng has been out of touch for nearly a month, and he doesn't know where he is now.

"Tian Sheng is probably still in the northwest, but I don't know exactly where he is."

Lao Mo was peeling garlic. After hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, I interjected. He used to follow He Tiansheng to help. The mission received this time was an important military mission. The reason why He Tiansheng, who focuses on the civilian field, was invited was mainly because his research direction was aircraft.

Xia Zhi shrugged when he heard Lao Mo's words. Although the information He Tiansheng sent back before was not much, it was enough for him to piece together a rough idea. I just hope that the other party's research can make progress as soon as possible.

"Old Mo, I cut all the bean sprouts in the planting house today. I may not plant them anymore."

Lao Mo had no objection to Xia Zhi's decision. He raised his head to look at the black air outside the floor-to-ceiling window that had grown one meter taller, and let out a long sigh.

Different from the summer solstice decision to stop planting, leaders of major cities across the country are now directing the people who have been resettled in the plateau and mountains to start planting vegetables.

It has been a month since the black gas outbreak, and many industries that have been moved to the plateau and high mountains have been initially constructed. Among these industries, the most important is planting. Some of the mountains themselves have terraced fields, and now is the season for crop filling. Every day, arranged farmers go up the mountain to water, fertilize and catch insects.

Vegetables are mostly used to supply residents who still stay in urban communities.

I have never thought of distributing soil and seeds to residents to encourage them to plant. The problem of water pollution has not been solved before. Cultivation, which requires large amounts of water for irrigation, has also been suspended. Now is the best time to restart large-scale planting in the community.

"I don't agree with large-scale planting in communities."

"Most residents in urban communities have not eaten vegetables for more than 20 days. At present, relying on the free compressed vegetables distributed by the government can supplement some vitamins. But in the long term, it is still necessary Residents are self-sufficient."

"Allergic rhinitis patients are still a hidden danger. These people do not know how deadly their blood is to healthy people. We should not forget this." On whether to

carry out planting in urban communities The action issue has generated great controversy in government meetings.

Some people believe that the most important thing at present is to solve the hidden danger of allergic rhinitis patients. Some people believe that no matter how big the hidden danger is, if you are hungry, you can avoid it.

One day later, this dispute was resolved.

——

"Want to plant? There are seeds and uncontaminated soil here. Each household can receive one to take home. Specific planting guides can be found in the community owner group."

Summer Solstice brought the family up early in the morning On the rooftop, after a simple physical examination, I got such a reminder.

The physical examination in the community is carried out at the community workstation on the rooftop. The content of the physical examination is very simple, a bit like the kind of physical examination conducted within the school in the past. It's just a simple blood draw and palpation.

However, a general blood drawing program alone is enough to screen out all allergic rhinitis patients in the community.

As soon as Xia Zhi's family finished their physical examination, a community worker sat on the table at the door and started promoting the disease to their family.

Xia Zhi thought about it and shook her head: "No, thank you!"

Anyway, the planting project is voluntary, and she doesn't want to plant anything anymore for the time being. She had an intuition that this community would be around for a long time.

Compared with Xia Zhi's family's rejection, other families in the community were very excited about the free seeds and uncontaminated soil. Many people received a share and went home and started planting on their balconies.

During the summer solstice, I saw in the group of owners, Miss Liu downstairs, sending out a small piece of lettuce that had just been planted at home. The seeds had just been planted on the bare soil, and there was no sign that lettuce was planted here. Ms. Liu posted the photo to the owner group, including a photo of herself and Tudi Di.

There were many owners down there who were friends with her, and they all praised her for looking good these days. Although two relatives died in the family, it seems that these two scourges are gone and Ms. Liu's life will be easier.

Underneath this comment is Ms. Liu's grateful reply.

All these exchanges felt like before the black energy broke out, but when Xia Zhi looked at Miss Liu's plump cheeks in the photo, she felt something was wrong.

——Downstairs

, Liu Fen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding her daughter in her arms, holding a mobile phone in her hand and replying to messages from enthusiastic neighbors.

"Mom, is there any meat to eat today?"

Since the mother and daughter were away last time, there has been meat to eat at home. Qian Duoduo said she was very happy. She didn't like those two mothers and daughters. As soon as he came home, he grabbed her food and called himself a loser and refused to eat delicious food.

When Liu Fen heard her daughter's innocent question, she licked her lips sadly, as if recalling something delicious.

"We've all eaten the meat. It's not much, just a few kilograms of meat. But mommy will make you some seafood soup tonight! I got the relief package back today. We can eat it for a long time."

"Yeah, yeah, there's seafood soup to drink..."

Liu Fen touched her daughter's chubby face. Suddenly I felt that it really makes sense to use form to complement form. The newborn baby is indeed very nourished.

Thinking like this, she stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth again. In her mind, she recalled the lump of flesh that she had stabbed with a knife that day. I didn't expect that my fate would be so great that day. I was so lucky that I jumped into the bathtub filled with water. Not only did he save his life, but he also saved the few kilograms of freshly dug out meat that was a little warm.

The only pity is that the amount of meat is too little. Such tender meat, the quantity is too little. The mother and daughter saved their food and only ate it for a few days before it was gone. Liu Fen originally wanted to share it with the person upstairs, but she didn't expect that the other person was so disrespectful.

Alas, the man named Xia refused his own meat. I don’t know if I will ever get the chance to get their big dog in my hands and taste it.

Liu Fen, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard a clicking sound from the kitchen.

She put her daughter down and walked into the kitchen.

In Nuoda's kitchen, there was a sealed glass jar on the stove. There was a black ant inside the glass jar, moving its hands, feet, and tentacles from time to time. He looked like he wanted to jump out of the jar. Unfortunately, the sealed glass jar is very heavy. Just an ant cannot penetrate it.

"Don't worry, little one. You will come out at some point."

Liu Fen picked up the glass jar with one hand and pointed at the black ants swirling inside, as if she couldn't do anything about you.

Miss Xia upstairs doesn't like the meat I sent. I don’t know how she will react if I send you there.

Hehe...

Xia

Zhi has not noticed the deep malice coming from Liu Fen downstairs for the time being. Even if she found out, she would just feel sick. Then immediately find a solution.

Summer Solstice is currently packing up various tools in the grow room. If you decide not to plant anything, then all the equipment here will be put away.

The vacant planting room will be converted into a practice room in the summer. Even if the previous crisis was caused by black ants, Xia Zhi will not forget the threat from humans. She has not been able to find any of the people who caused her death in her previous life. The only thing that is certain is that this group of people are not aborigines of the community.

"In the summer solstice, if we don't grow things, the free market in the community will be covered by the black air again. If there are factories in the mountains and plateaus that really come to recruit workers, will they go?" Lao Mo asked the key to the problem

. The Gaoshan Plateau factory construction project that has been talked about for a long time has been said to have made great progress. Ordinary primary processed products should be able to recruit workers and start production soon. But at present, the most scarce supplies for every household are still food and medicine. Both of these things require long-term cultivation in the land and cannot be created out of nothing.

"As far as I know, there are many people who have moved to the mountains and plateaus. It is very likely that the workers will not be recruited to communities like ours at the beginning. Otherwise, the transfer of personnel alone will be a huge project."

Before the black gas breaks out, you can still use vehicles or walk to move people. Now, the only thing available to move people is helicopters. Helicopters, whether before or after the black gas outbreak, are a very important resource.

After hearing Xia Zhi's words, Lao Mo nodded. He doesn't think those factory recruiters will come to the community.

Many people in the community actually understand this truth, but everyone obviously still has a glimmer of hope.

All those who have passed the physical examination are holding on to their illusions at home, waiting for job recruitment notices from the factories in the mountains and plateaus.

However, they did not wait for the recruitment notice, but instead waited for a group of disaster victims.

Speaking of which, this group of victims came from a community near them.

This community was originally known as a small villa in the city center. When it was built, the floors were very low, and the buildings inside were mainly nested. The highest floor is the sixth floor.

Logically speaking, such a house should have been evacuated before the black energy broke out. But at that time, many people were reluctant to part with the supplies at home and the small gardens filled with various plants. After it was determined that the height of the black gas explosion was only two meters, those living on high floors stayed at home with peace of mind.

Who knew that allergic rhinitis was caused first by dry air, and then by black gas substances contained in the air. After finally surviving allergic rhinitis, I was attacked by black ants again.

The attack by black ants caused heavy losses to this community.

At this time, people in this community began to ask the community for help.

In the end, because there were dozens of people who needed to be moved, and there were restrictions on supplies and so on, these people were temporarily resettled in the community where Xia Zhi was located.

Of course, there are no vacant houses in the community. But because it was summer, these people were temporarily placed in the corridors on the high floors, waiting for the next step from above.

In this way, the corridor in front of the door that had been vacant for only half a month during the summer solstice once again welcomed guests. But this time, the people living there were strangers she didn't know. It doesn't get much worse than this.

Xia Zhi saw the noisy crowd in front of her house from the video door, and she just wanted to curse.

"We can't live here forever. The community must find us a place to live as soon as possible." "That's right

! We are all citizens who pay taxes in accordance with the law. At this critical moment, we cannot be abandoned." "

There are no quilts here. Can the community get some quilts?"

...

Director Liu was surrounded by a large number of people, each with their own demands. Make the entire corridor look as lively as a vegetable market.

The same scene occurs on different floors of different buildings in the community.

It took the community several days just to appease these people.

A few days later, when Xia Zhi went out to collect relief supplies, she heard a piece of news that left people speechless.

Miss Liu downstairs welcomed a family of five into her home, which was regarded as renting out the family house again.

When Xia Zhi heard this, he didn't know how to evaluate this kind of behavior.

Of course, she would not be so stupid as to think that Miss Liu is a harmless person.

"Director Liu, the results of the physical examination should be out!"

Xia Zhi did not leave directly after receiving the supplies, but carefully asked Director Liu about the physical examination.

Director Liu didn't expect Xia Zhi to care about this. Other people in the community are concerned about when relief supplies will be delivered and when factories will recruit workers.

"It's out, don't worry, your family is fine."

When Xia Zhi heard this, her eyes flashed: "I know our family is fine. I want to ask, are there a lot of allergic rhinitis patients in the community?" She said

The question was asked very quietly, but Director Liu understood the subtext of Xia Zhi. We are all smart people, so don’t say some things so clearly.

Director Liu nodded imperceptibly: "Be careful lately."

Director Liu said, pointing upward with his index finger.

Obviously, there should be some action from above.

"So, what about the new arrivals?"

The new arrivals come from low-rise communities, and Xia Zhi does not think that these people are healthy people.

Director Liu's expression changed after hearing this question.

"Anyway, just be careful, go out less, and don't let your children go out."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal anything else, Xia Zhi didn't force it. After thanking him quietly, he walked home. I made up my mind to be smart during this time. There will be action up there. I don’t know if this move is good or bad.
