End Times Dust Light

Chapter 7: Virus outbreak

Lu Ziming followed Li Qiujing into the villa and looked up and saw a spacious living room. In the center of the living room was a huge dining table. A middle-aged, depressed man sat at the dining table, lowered his head and smoked a cigarette. It seems to be thinking about something on my mind.

The middle-aged man is Li Zheng, Li Qiujing’s father, and is responsible for the program editing of Fangcheng TV Station. Wei Ming is Li Zheng’s subordinate, responsible for the interviews of the program, and is a reporter commonly referred to in the population.

Li Qiujing said many things in the car. For example, when the virus broke out, the family was hosting a 16th birthday party for Li Rumei (Li Qiujing’s sister). The dead Xiaoyong, Xiaolei and Xiaoli were classmates of Li Rumei. They were trapped in It had been three days in the villa, and I was about to go out looking for food when I met Lu Ziming in the underground warehouse.

There are still many people in the villa, all of Li Rumei’s classmates. Three of them became zombies and were **** in the room after they became ill. At first they expected someone to come to rescue and treat them, but the survivors gradually realized that there was nothing at all. People responded that the cell phone signal was out of the service area.

Suddenly so many things happened, many people were dumbfounded. Some people left the villa and never came back, and some people left and ran back. They still stay in the villa waiting for the trial of fate.

Accurately speaking, most of the villas are Lu Ziming’s alumni. Li Qiujing just graduated from high school this year and passed the examination of Xi’an Jiaotong University. In a few days, she will leave home to report to the university.

Li Rumei is one grade lower than Lu Ziming, and she is a sophomore student after school starts. Because Lu Ziming has a reputation for learning domineering at school, Li Qiujing has heard of Lu Ziming. But Lu Ziming didn’t know Li Qiujing. Instead, he knew Li Rumei, Li Qiujing’s younger sister. The reason was that Li Rumei was so beautiful, she was a school girl at Starlight High School, and she didn’t even know her.

In fact, Li Qiujing is also very beautiful, she is already one of the best in a million, but she compares herself with her younger sister…, to blame Li Rumei is so beautiful, which completely covers her sister’s brilliance.

Li Zheng did not approve of Li Qiujing’s risk-taking, and hoped that someone would come to rescue him, but after waiting for a few days, he was also desperate.

Many people stood in the living room of the villa. After listening to Li Qiujing’s story of what happened in the underground warehouse, they focused on Lu Ziming.

The villa has already started to run out of food, otherwise Li Qiujing would not choose to venture out to find food. Lu Ziming threw the mountaineering bag on the table: “There is still some food here, you can take it first.” Since it has been decided temporarily Living here, Lu Ziming eating alone is obviously not justified.

Maybe it was starving, the food in the hiking bag was quickly divided up, leaving only a few pieces of the most unpalatable compressed biscuits for Lu Ziming.

Lu Ziming is not angry, at least they know that leaving some food for themselves is more conscientious than the robbers who robbed them of everything. They have not completely lost the virtues of civilized society.

“Student Lu? Sit!” Li Zheng pointed to the chair next to him and said: “It is not easy for a person to survive. Tell me how you did it and what plans you have in the future.”

Li Zheng gave Lu Ziming a feeling a bit like the dean of the school. He was cold and seldom smiled when he saw people. Perhaps this is the majesty that a leader should have.

Lu Ziming didn’t like to communicate with people like this. The former township government officials did the same, and later school leaders did the same. They always looked high, as if they didn’t do this, they would immediately lose their prestige and power. Lu Ziming hates two kinds of people, one is an official, and the other is rich. When an official’s face and rich arrogance make Lu Ziming mature prematurely, he will only face Li Zheng. Neither overbearing nor overbearing.

“I am a child in the mountains. I don’t know the rules, but I know how to survive in a difficult situation. Zombies lose their humanity, but retain the nature of animals. They recognize everything around them through sounds and smells. Attacking their bodies and limbs is futile. The brain and spine are the weakness of zombies. There is no hope here. After I find the food and medicine I need, I will return to the mountain village. Thank you for allowing me to stay overnight.”

It may be the reason that Li Zheng worked in the TV station. He was not deeply affected by some officialdom. Hearing Lu Ziming emphasized that he was a child in the mountains. When he did not understand the rules, his eyes twitched a few times, and he realized that Lu Ziming had already had a problem with him. Disgusted.

“It’s safe here. Can you stay here and wait for rescue?”

“Rescue!” Lu Ziming seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. What a sweet word, that is the mutual help and friendship of a civilized society, but now Lu Ziming can’t see anything.

Lu Ziming ran out of the township government and waited on the fishing boat for a full day and a half. During this day and a half, Lu Ziming saw slaughter, deception, fear, anger, despair, and people in despair. Mutual assistance and friendship between people means that they have not seen the so-called government assistance. Five days have passed since the outbreak of the virus. The police and the army have not appeared. Communication and electricity have disappeared. The city without information communication is like a huge tomb. The zombies are the dead, and the survivors are not the living dead.

“Without food, medicine and weapons, will there be hope for staying here?”

“Uncle Li, you haven’t seen it outside. The most important thing now is to stock up food and medicine. I don’t know if there will be rescue, but from now on, the hope is very slim. You don’t often say that people in the disaster area want Learn to help yourself?” Lu Ziming didn’t want to stimulate Li Zheng and the people in the restaurant too much. They thought the same thing as Li Zheng. They believed that the difficulties were temporary and there must be rescue. After the storm, tomorrow will be better.

Confidence can make the survivors have the courage to live. Maybe Li Zheng himself does not believe that there will be rescue. The mobile phone has no signal, the TV program has been interrupted, and the villa has become an isolated island. Li Zheng was very distressed and couldn’t think of a better way, otherwise he wouldn’t let Li Qiujing take risks.

“You have to trust the government and the country. Now is the most difficult time. You should support and help each other. You are the future of the country, and the country will not abandon you…”

Talking to bureaucrats is very tiring. What you want to say is not necessarily what they want to hear. What they say must have nothing to do with them, but they have to pretend to be listening to the sky, which is disgusting.

Lu Ziming decided to change the subject and understand what he cares about: “Uncle Li, you work in a TV station. You should know something about the virus. Can you tell me about it?”

Li Zheng squeezed out the cigarette **** and said: “I know the situation as you know. This virus outbreak was too sudden. It happened to be Sunday, and there was no latest news… You know what happened later. Now the communication is interrupted. Now, what happened outside, I also want to know.”

Li Zheng’s eyes were a little dazed, and he probably didn’t say what was in his heart. Lu Ziming looked up and saw many people standing around him, and immediately understood why Li Zheng had lied.

“Uncle Li, is there the latest newspaper? I want to read it.”

“Come with me to the study!”

The external power supply has been lost in the villa. Fortunately, a solar power supply device is installed on the roof of the villa. Although it cannot meet the needs of normal life as before, it still has the power to maintain a few LED lights.

Lu Ziming followed Li Zheng into the study, closed the door and said: “Uncle Li, before August 7, there was only news of human infection with the H13N19 avian influenza virus mutation in the newspapers. The virus broke out after the 8th, and the zombies died within a day. Appears inside, can you tell me why?”

There was no panic in Li Zheng’s eyes, but some admiration: “You are very right in your observations and have a strong ability in logical analysis, but you have overlooked one point: the relationship between time and place.”

Lu Ziming suddenly widened his eyes and said: “Uncle Li, you mean, the virus outbreak is global…how could it be like this?” Lu Ziming suddenly seemed to be drained of energy, feeling the world spinning, the worst result It is not that Lu Ziming has not considered it, at most several cities and several provinces, but the significance of the global virus outbreak is completely different.

“It’s very strange, isn’t it? You are very smart. You found the root of the problem in a few days that other people hadn’t figured out. I don’t know much about it. I have been thinking about this issue these days. Why is the virus here? The outbreak broke out on the same day. I have a few online videos here. You can understand by looking at it.” Li Zheng opened the laptop and pushed it in front of Lu Ziming.

The first video, “Here is a report from the British BBC Radio and Television Station: a new virus has just hit the city of London. The government urges citizens not to panic, wear masks, stay at home, close windows and doors, and do not go to the streets. , The government has sent troops…” The screen quickly switched, there was crazy rush to buy in supermarkets, and there was a phenomenon of smashing and looting on the streets. Angry citizens burned cars on the streets, and the mounted police held truncheons on the streets to maintain law and order. , A team of armored vehicles are driving into the city.

The second video, “Here is the New York Times reporter reporting for you: There is chaos in New York City, traffic is paralyzed, shops are closed, factories are closed, violence is on the rise, and panic citizens take to the streets and confront the police. I hope the government will come forward to explain the situation…”. Someone used a mobile phone to take pictures on the street. People biting people appeared in the picture. The police were shooting and panicked citizens were running around. Some people took the opportunity to pry open the door of the store and move things out of it…

There are also a third video and a fourth video. Each video is similar. There are chaotic scenes everywhere. The government urges citizens to calm down…

Li Zheng pointed to the video and said: “These are the videos that were circulated on the Internet on the evening of August 7. London, New York, Hamburg, San Francisco… are all like this, followed by China and Japan. Overnight, the whole world A virus has broken out, do you want to leave here?”

“Impossible”, Lu Ziming instinctively retorted: “The virus does not spread so fast, and it will not break out at the same time. It must be a mistake. Although the virus can be transmitted through the air, the speed of the air flow is not so fast. The direction must be affected by the atmospheric circulation. Even if there is a strong air current blowing from west to east, it cannot affect the world in one day… This must be a scam, yes, it must be a scam. This kind of thing will never happen. of”.
