Chapter 168 The biggest crisis(2/2)
Unlike the abandonment that is usually eliminated, these white mists have no sign of dissipation. With the wind, they slowly drift to every corner of Dawn City.
There is nothing strange about the people in the city. There are many factories in Shuguang City, and some exhaust gas is emitted from time to time. Although it looks a little unclean, it is still nothing big.
Even if someone reports and appeals, it will be left alone in the end. Today, when I see this situation again, residents only think it is a problem with which factory.
Happy area, slum.
In a dark and humid corner, there is a simple shed, living in a family of four.
Men, women, eldest daughter, young son.
Although living conditions are difficult, you can survive by picking up garbage and other things.
However, recently, due to heavy snow, the market for picking up garbage is not very good, and the man as the head of the family has been infected with the virus.
This is definitely a worse matter for them.
The only thing that is thankful is that although the man is infected with the virus and is still a relatively serious type, he has not become the kind of living dead person.
Moreover, men have a clear consciousness. Although they are weak, they can also guide their two children and teach them how to distinguish between garbage that can be sold for money and garbage that is unnecessary to pick up.
Today, the man dragged his weak body and held a pirated umbrella made from scrap, protecting two eleven or two-year-old children under the umbrella. He came to the garbage dump together.
"Father, why don't you go back first, my brother and I can do it."
The dirty eldest daughter looked at her tired and weak father and said with some distress.
"Yeah, my sister and I can do it!"
The younger brother nodded quickly.
The skinny man reached out and touched his brother's heads, and then said with a smile:
"It's okay, let's take you on the last day today. From tomorrow, you probably have to take care of me, haha!"
Men seem very free and easy.
When the three of them came to a garbage dump, there were already many people nearby. Some people also used some tools to cover the heavy snow, while others were simply exposed to the snow - obviously, such people have been infected by the virus.
When people saw this man, they immediately showed a cautious look on their faces, but when they remembered that the man was very sick now, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The man is a famous scavenger nearby. Although he is thin, he is very fierce and he will be desperate when fighting. No one wants to meet him before, but now, when a man is sick, he naturally cannot have the strength he used to be.
However, the name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Although many of them think that men are no longer their opponents, there is no need for men to have conflicts.
Anyway, there is so much garbage that I can’t pick it up.
When the man saw that these people did not do anything out of line, he was still picking up trash obediently, and then began to teach his children.
Time is lost, and at some point, a white mist appears in the garbage dump.
The fog came from the factory next door, which was obvious. Everyone noticed it, but no one cared about it. Just sucking some waste gas, it would not die, at least it would not die now.
The man looked up in confusion. The smell of this waste gas was a little different...
The waste gas in the past made people cough and nauseate.
But the exhaust gas inhaled now has a sweet smell, which makes people feel energetic and even makes the feeling of weakness caused by the virus on him disappear.
It seemed like my whole body was full of strength, but... I was a little hungry.
The man turned his head and looked at the two thin figures under the big umbrella he had opened. He unconsciously licked his tongue. It smelled so good.
The sister and brother seemed to have felt something, and they turned their heads at the same time, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.
In the simple shed, the woman looked at the shabby newspaper in her hands, and her eyes were filled with joy.
She is one of the few literate people in the slums, and she also had a story when she was young.
She saw an advertisement published in the newspaper saying that Tiandun Security Company was going to recruit patients infected with wilderness virus to test the medicine.
If you don’t have money, just say that his husband has gone. Is there a chance to be cured? No matter how small the opportunity is, it is always an opportunity!
The woman clenched her fists, she took out the little money at the bottom of the box, counted it over and over again, and after a little calculation, she could barely get a fare to Ping'an Street.
Great, my husband is saved.
...
Ping An Street.
Looking at the news that Qin gave him, Duke's face was solemn.
"You mean, many patients have become living dead?"
"Yes, those patients, whether they are mild or severe, or who are infected with the virus, all become living dead! The reason is initially determined that it is related to a kind of white smoke. Although the factories that emit white smoke have been closed, we don't know what is going on yet."
Qin's face was also very serious. The news was just passed to her by the Cape family after repeated confirmation, so there would be no error.
"White smoke? Artificially? Is there a shadow of Sang Xi behind this?"
Duke's mind was rolling.
The red-skinned monster appeared, restraining a large number of city defense forces and police station personnel. Many forces in the city were also in a fight. If the patients in the city turned into living dead at this time, it would definitely be a doomsday disaster. After all, there are too many patients now.
In addition, there is a group of mechanical mutant beasts outside the city who don’t know why they suddenly came...
City of Dawn, dangerous!
Duke felt caught off guard.
