MTL - After the Global Evolution, I Stand at the Top of the Food Chain-Chapter 3 003
003
Lu Yan called Li Rui.
I did not answer. Later, the other party's mobile phone was out of power and automatically shut down.
On WeChat, his messages went unanswered.
Although Lu Yan and Dr. Li both work in the hospital, their relationship is not so good that they exchange home addresses.
Shortly after Lin Sinan left, the compensation fee for the last operation was called, and he went to the card in one step. After deducting the tax, there was a small six-digit figure.
It was the first time that Lu Yan had received such a generous bonus after working in the hospital for so many years.
He didn't go to the hospital because he didn't have to go to work for the time being.
Generally speaking, after earning a huge sum of money, people usually treat themselves with shopping.
After thinking for a moment, he went to the convenience store downstairs to empty the water and instant noodles.
In the convenience store, the uncle who guarded the door was listening to the radio while shaking his head.
"At 10 o'clock this morning, the city police found a wanted criminal in Qujiang Park. The wanted criminal tried to take a hostage and was shot dead on the spot."
Lu Yan remembered the last words Li Rui said on the phone today.
At that time, he was in a hurry to open the door and hung up before he finished listening.
The other party said at the beginning of a "qu" sound.
Now it seems that it is Qujiang Park.
Lu Yan lowered his head and searched for relevant news. It is a pity that none of the media can tell the information of the suspect. It should be the press release given above, and the news is written in the same way.
In the end, he found only a vague aerial image. A man in a black jacket fell to the ground.
When Lu Yan saw Li Rui wearing that jacket, he said it was a Canadian goose from his girlfriend.
Dr. Li liked it very much and showed it off in the department for several days.
Anxiety grew in Lu Yan's heart.
He drove to a nearby large shopping mall and made a frantic purchase.
The shopping mall didn't seem to expect that there would be such customers who go to the supermarket like going to the warehouse for wholesale, and directly arranged a truck to bring back the things Lu Yan bought.
Food, medicine, mineral water, portable gas stoves…
He bought enough things to fill two guest rooms.
Thanks to Lu Yan living alone, or else he really couldn't hold it.
"Brother, why are you buying so much? This can be used in a few years." The delivery guy who helped carry it was very puzzled.
Lu Yan is not a person who likes to explain, so he replied: "Being a micro-business."
Delivery guy: "…"
Incomprehensible.
In the evening, Lu Yan turned on the TV as usual, listened to the evening news and prepared to cook.
"The source of pollution in city h has been controlled, and the state of emergency will be lifted soon and traffic will resume..."
As she spoke, the hostess's expression changed: "Now there is an urgent news."
"There is an unknown pollution disease in our city, and all activities are suspended. Citizens are requested to take the initiative to isolate themselves at home and do not go out. City K is temporarily closed to the outside world!"
Like Lu Yan, millions of people living in K City also received the same news.
The city of K fell into a panic, and a dark cloud shrouded it.
In the owner group, message prompts sounded one after another.
"What's the situation? Pollution disease?"
"Why is there no sign at all, it's too sudden!"
"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow!"
For most people, pollution disease is just a plague that occurs abroad.
At first, everyone was a little apprehensive. After all, no one wants to be a monster. But in the past two or three years, there have been reports of pollution diseases every day, and people have gradually realized that this kind of disease is not a cure-all. On the contrary, it reduces the fear.
It's just that they never imagined that one day pollution will happen to them.
In the community group, the property came out to make a statement: "Owners, please rest assured. We have received the notice. Although we cannot go out, the property still serves the owners. If there are necessities that need to be purchased, you can also make a list and give it to me. We will definitely be able to Let's get through this together!"
Among Lu Yan's colleagues, a group of doctors were also discussing the pollution disease.
"Pollution disease is not in the traditional medical system. Will our doctors be requisitioned?"
"Hey, I have a patient who is going to have a tumor removal operation right now. I can't go out and I can't go to the hospital right now. What can I do?"
"Why even doctors have to be isolated at home?!"
Although pollution diseases are often reported, some doctors are curious about it.
But... they only know a little more than ordinary people because of professional reasons.
At least, the treatment of pollution diseases is no longer a medical category.
This kind of pollution disease that has subverted the world, in most people's perception, is just a troublesome infectious disease like influenza and AIDS. In the beginning, the institute thought so too.
Everyone is optimistic that human beings will conquer the pollution disease just as they conquered smallpox.
Only Lu Yan looked at the news on the screen with a heavy expression. He remembered the fish eggs he saw in the operation yesterday.
Lin Sinan said that there would be no secondary pollution, but Li Rui began to distort.
In the morning, he called Director Hu. The director told him that he was already on the plane back to his hometown.
The director showed no symptoms of contamination.
During the operation, only Li Rui came into contact with the pierced fish eggs.
Body.fluid...spread?
This time the blockade is particularly severe.
The next morning, Lu Yan stood by the window, looking outside as usual. The window of his bedroom is facing the gate of the community, and the view is very good.
An armed military vehicle was parked at the gate, and several officers armed with guns walked down.
I don't know how many people have been transferred to K City from various stations to deal with this emergency.
Not only the gate of the community was blocked, but even the door of the unit was locked. Every day, only when the food is delivered, it will be opened for a moment.
Many residents were terrified but could not do anything about it.
On the second night of the lockdown, Lu Yan was sleeping when he heard a gunshot in the distance.
The battery cars parked in the community screamed "woohoohoo".
Lu Yan got up, opened the curtains carefully, and looked out the window.
After a while, he saw a familiar square metal block that was carried out of the community.
The patient who was sent to the hospital also used the same metal cabin.
In the morning, this incident was inevitably brought up within the group of owners.
The property immediately came out to explain: "I asked, and a thief wanted to break into the house last night. Then the soldier guarding the door fired a warning shot in a hurry. It's okay. The thief has been sent to the police station."
Lu Yan glanced at it and put down the phone.
He was going to wash an apple for breakfast, and he was shocked.
Just when Lu Yan's hand touched the faucet, the system finally squeaked.
[I advise you not to use tap water today. ]
[You know, these disgusting parasitic fish eggs are transparent in their unparasitic state. ]
Lu Yan withdrew his hand and felt that it was not impossible to eat the apple without washing it.
He was watching the news, eating an apple, and listening to the detailed introduction of the system.
[In the first stage of the aberration, fish eggs will burrow into your stomach, hatch, and then multiply asexually in the stomach. This phase can last up to 2 weeks. ]
[In the second stage, the fish eggs will follow the blood, stay in the part with more fat to absorb nutrients, and gradually surface on the skin. ]
[In the third stage, the eggs will grow over every part of your body. At this time you will become the lowest level of pollutants! Usually hatch into murlocs. ] The sound of the system is inexplicably pleasant.
[This is the life of the rejected parasitic fish roe. ]
Lu Yan turned on his phone and sent a message in all group chats and forums, calling on everyone to stock up on mineral water.
Then, by the way, I searched the phone number of the pollution disease prevention and control center in K city.
He felt that he should at least do his duty to remind him.
[If I were you, I wouldn't be making this call. ] The system suddenly opens.
[Host, Apocalypse will not necessarily be sent to the research institute, but you will, because you are Lu Cheng's son and have the talent of me. Missing Lucheng back then has made the Institute regret it now. And, the Institute's research on pollution goes deeper than you might think. I advise you not to worry. ]
[Of course, you don't have to believe me. I'm just a system after all. But I'd rather stay by your side than... After all, you look pretty. ] The system hesitates.
In the past, no matter how the system talked to itself, Lu Yan would not respond.
But this time, he asked the unprecedented question: "What will happen to being sent to the research institute?"
The system weirdly laughed twice: [Maybe, death is the best outcome. However, as a precious experimental sample, you cannot easily die. ]
Lu Yan didn't really want to die, and he didn't want to be dissected alive, so he temporarily gave up the idea of calling the Pollution Disease Control Center.
Anxiety made him wipe the floor with a handkerchief over and over again.
Even if the house is spotless, there is no dust under the bed.
Facts have proved that the response of the relevant departments is quite swift.
In the afternoon, Lu Yan saw the second-generation rich brother next door open the window and scolded angrily on the balcony: "Grass! Why is the water cut off?!"
The property group exploded.
This time the water cut off was caught off guard, and no one was notified at all. What's more, the entire city of K, and even several neighboring cities, stopped running water together.
Water is cheap, and sometimes I don't think it has anything. But when not, it really kills people.
The property did not expect the water to be cut off, and kept comforting the owners in the group.
Since the city was locked down, the TV in Lu Yan's house has not been turned off.
News Local Channel, the anchor said: "This afternoon, due to the improper operation of the water plant workers, a large amount of cyanide/chemical/compound was added to the clear water pool. Cyanide/chemical/compound is a highly toxic chemical substance. In order to protect the water for residents, There is an emergency water cutoff in our city. The city hall will arrange for the army to send pure water on a regular basis. Citizens please stay calm.”
In response to the city hall's lockdown policy, the news anchors are broadcasting live from home.
Ordinary people are still kept in the dark.
Lu Yan thought about it. In fact, this is a very simple reason. Everyone knows that this is a pollution disease, but it is never clear how terrible this disease will be.
It is human nature to fear death.
If the truth were known, the apparent peace would be shattered immediately. There will be many people who will use all means to leave the city of K. As long as one of them carries the parasitic fish eggs, the disaster will spread to the whole world.
An out-of-control train approached, with a person on one side and a group of people on the other. How would you choose?
The system laughed softly.
[Your thoughts are not entirely correct. Maybe you should understand a concept called tainted value...or, san value? ]
[The more fearful, the more easily contaminated. If the media starts promoting the real world, believe me, within a month, the whole world will fall. ]
[Of course, it's not that far off now. ]
"You look like you're looking forward to the destruction of the world."
Like some evil villain.
[There is evidence that evolution often occurs in sudden leaps. New species form rapidly in a short period of time and remain relatively stable for a long time to come. ]*
I just can't wait...to see you as a god.
