43. Thirty-four people, out!

In the next two days, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan stayed at home, watching the development of things through news and forums.

People bitten by mice were infected with the virus and transmitted to more people through droplets. More and more people were hospitalized, and the hospital soon became overcrowded.

Many residents wanted to escape from the island, but found that there was no ship at the pier.

Violent conflict began to occur, and the residents were still restrained until the third day when a photo of the body was spread online.

The deceased's body was covered with black spots, with thin hair and bleeding from his eyes.

Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan recognized that this was the strong man downstairs.

It has only been three days since he was bitten.

The poster wrote the strong man's hospitalization and death time, as well as the most important cause of death, in the post, which quickly disappeared, but more posts were posted.

After the death, the riots expanded.

Xia Yi heard the noise outside, and he came to the balcony and saw a small supermarket not far away, which was being smashed.

Qiu Ruoyan and Xia Yi waved to him and let him watch the news on TV.

In the news, the director of Zhaoyang Island Hospital is speaking:

"Please rest assured that experts around the world have started research half a month ago, and there is a cutting-edge research team on the island, and a vaccine will be developed soon."

The dean in a white coat coughed and continued, "Please stay at home during this period and wear a mask when going out. If you have people with fever and bloodshot eyes, please try to isolate them as much as possible. Regarding the rumored tap water pollution on the Internet, please do not believe it. Unless you encounter intentional damage, tap water will definitely be safe."

"There are some things to note below, you can record it with paper and notes..."

After the hospital president made a speech, a research expert spoke, expressing his determination to overcome the plague.

There is nothing valuable behind it, so Xia Yi will no longer continue to watch it.

He returned to the balcony and looked at the situation in the small supermarket. He didn't know if it was finished or because of the press conference that the thugs had left.

At this time, a knock on the door sounded.

When he arrived at the door, Xia Yi looked outside through his cat's eyes. There was a resident on the fourth floor standing outside.

He was a fishing enthusiast who came from mainland China to fish in the sea. Like Xia Yi and the others, they were new residents.

Looking at the strong and dark-skinned fishing man through the cat's eyes, Xia Yi asked: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you have stocked up a lot of bread at home and there is no food in my room. Can you give me some?" The fishing man smiled embarrassedly.

"We don't have many, you go find someone else's house." Xia Yi refused.

There are fifty boxes of bread, and ten boxes are five hundred. Three are eaten a day for one person, saving a little bit, just enough for a hundred days, and they don’t have the extra money to give others.

The smile on the fishing man's face slowly disappeared, and he stared at the cat's eyes: "Hey, I know how many boxes do you have!"

"There are available in the supermarket outside, you can buy it." Qiu Ruoyan also came to the door.

"Stop kidding, who dares to go to the supermarket at this time?" The fishing man knocked on the door hard, "Open!"

Xia Yi hesitated for a moment and pressed the door handle.

The fishing man was happy. He thought Xia Yi and the others were cowardly, so proudly wanted to go in.

However, after taking a step, he stopped.

Xia Yi held up a revolver and pointed it at his head.

"Fake, isn't it?" The fishing man's expression was stiff.

"Isn't it normal for people like us to have a pistol in their hands?" Xia Yi stared at the face of the fishing man.

"What kind of people like us..." The fishing man wanted to pretend to be stupid.

"I have asked the landlord about the information about the residents in the entire building, and you only came one day earlier than us." Xia Yi replied.

"It's true, I didn't expect it to be exposed." The fishing man raised his hand helplessly, "I just came over and test it. How did you make sure I was? My personality is a sea fishing enthusiast, and even fishing rods are available."

"I'm just testing it." Xia Yi raised his pistol, "Then, I won't give it away."

After saying that, Xia Yi closed the door.

Listening to the sound of the fishing man's footsteps fading away, Xia Yi relaxed.

I was in the same building with a gamer, I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.

"I saw him going out to purchase in the evening." Qiu Ruoyan said to Xia Yi.

The fishing man is not short of food, he just finds a reason to come and inquire.

After locking the door, Xia Yi came to the kitchen and drank mineral water.

The news says there is no problem with tap water, but no one can guarantee it.

There are definitely not a few people who will deliberately destroy tap water.

He looked online again. Compared to before the hospital director's speech, the local forum was much calmer, and residents were looking forward to the plague being brought under control immediately.

Only players like Xia Yi know that control is impossible.

After dinner, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan went to sleep early.

In the morning, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan were eating bread, and the prompt sounded:

【The fourth day begins】

【Number of survivors: 301】

Xia Yi was shocked. There were still 335 people yesterday, but 34 people were missing today!

"These people should have been infected on the first day of their copy," Qiu Ruoyan said.

"That is to say, there is only three days from infection to death?" Xia Yi frowned.

He thought that the strong man died in three days because he was bitten by a rat. The situation was serious, but these 34 people could not have been bitten by a rat. Most of them were caused by droplets.

As long as you get infected, you will never live for three days!

"This is really a big crisis." Qiu Ruoyan touched her calf, and the plague cut her legs was useless.

"So many gamers have died, so the mortality rate of residents must be higher." Xia Yi picked up his mobile phone and wanted to go to the forum to take a look.

But the browser is blank and it has no effect to constantly refresh the web page.

Xia Yi looked at Qiu Ruoyan, and Qiu Ruoyan could not refresh the web page.

"Blocked." Qiu Ruoyan judged.

They turned on the TV, and the local TV station had cartoons, without any explanation.

Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan felt uneasy in their hearts. Nothing before was as strong as the uneasiness brought by this incident now.

Without the Internet, they cannot know the situation in the city and can only obtain information about their living areas.

After thinking about it, Xia Yi put on a mask and said to Qiu Ruoyan: "I'll go down and ask the landlords, they locals might know some news."

"I'll do it." Qiu Ruoyan stood up.

She didn't want Xia Yi to take risks. Although she had professional masks and the probability of droplet infection was almost zero, no one could be sure that the plague was just an ordinary droplet infection.

"Just stay." Xia Yi opened the door and walked out.

He has [characteristics - Lucky] and can escape a lethal attack, and the plague is undoubtedly included.
