Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the car in front started to slow down, and Yin Ling also slowed down, thinking that he was about to enter the service area again, but to his surprise, the car slowed down and drove again for an hour without stopping.

Two hours later, the car stopped at a large service area. This time I gave enough time, half an hour to eat.

Wang Xuan was woken up by Yin Ling. When he woke up, he found several messages on his phone. Yin Ling also realized that the reason for slowing down before was to leave time for the car in front to rest in batches in the service area.

Yin Ling helped her grandma get out of the car, while Wang Xuan took two boxes of lunches that were not finished at noon to meet the rescue team. The lunches were too cold and there was no way to heat them. Maybe they could be heated.

The service area is no different from before. The only difference is that there are so many people. It’s like catching up with the Spring Festival travel rush. With their group and the normal passing vehicles, there are indeed a lot of people. Fortunately, it should have been arranged long ago. There are two rows of mobile toilets, and it only takes five minutes to queue.

Yin Ling took her grandma inside again. They came down late and took some time to go to the bathroom, so the tables and chairs in each store in the service area were already full. Yin Ling took a general look, whether it was the large cafeteria or the The snack bars sell pre-packaged lunch boxes, and the types are all the same, so it doesn’t matter where you buy them.

Yin Ling bought two boxes of lunch boxes, which cost 30 yuan, which was not expensive. I guess the price has also been adjusted.

Taking her grandma out, Yin Ling glanced at her eldest cousin when she went out. At this time, she was surrounded by her uncle, aunt, and cousin's family. There were many people and time was tight. Yin Ling didn't want to say hello, so she took her grandma first. out.

After dinner, there was still time, but most of the people had already returned in groups and started looking for their own cars. They wandered around the cars without even getting on, and waited for a minute or two before the train started to count the number of people before getting on. .

Yin Ling and grandma were also wandering outside. This service area was located in a relatively remote area, and they didn't see any buildings nearby.

Yin Ling turned on her phone. The signal was a bit weak, but she could access the Internet.

The news was constantly being updated, and only then did Yin Ling notice that their batch was actually the first batch to go to the west for resettlement. Many netizens thought it was strange, and it must be a large-scale migration that rarely happens every year. In addition, Yin Ling also noticed that some places in the west are recruiting a large number of workers. There is a demand for talents in construction, agriculture, medicine, machinery, electricity and other fields. The wages are not particularly high, but they are higher than in small cities.

However, considering that it will take three to five months for so many people to settle down temporarily, it does require a lot of investment in construction.

Yin Ling was busy browsing when he suddenly saw a post that summarized the areas frequently affected by disasters around the world in the past three months.

Yin Ling took a closer look and found that domestically, it was mainly earthquakes and snow disasters, and abroad it was mainly earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as frequent earthquakes and tsunamis in some island countries. Taken together, the global disaster area is not small.

Rubbing her slightly frozen fingers, Yin Ling took a breath and felt the biting cold air entering her lungs. It was already night and it was still a bit cold outside.

After checking the time, it was only a few minutes away. Yin Ling put the phone in his pocket and was about to call his grandma to get in the car for a while, but there was a sudden commotion at the door of the service area not far away.

Yin Ling looked over and didn't know what was going on. He saw that the thick wind-blocking curtain was opened from the inside, and more than a dozen people ran out shouting.

People outside here also saw it for the first time and looked over in surprise. They didn’t know what to do for a while. However, people from the rescue team wearing bright orange quickly ran over to check.

Yin Ling reacted very quickly and pulled her grandma into the car, and the door was quickly closed. No matter what happened, it would be safer to stay in the car in a chaotic situation.

Seeing this, people nearby with private cars got into their own cars, and those following the rescue vehicle all moved back.

Yin Ling sat in the car and didn't know what was going on, but the noise outside quickly stopped. Letting grandma stay in the car, Yin Ling got out of the car again and heard everyone talking about snakes, black snakes, biting people.

"It's so cold today, don't all the snakes hibernate?"

"It seems like it bit someone to death?"

Yin Ling looked at the weather on her mobile phone, which showed seven or eight degrees. It was not the temperature where snakes would appear, but black venomous snakes. Yin Ling recalled some unfriendly memories, and then shook her head. This is not something that happened thousands of miles away. , these are two different worlds.

"He's not dead. The doctor is still treating him. He probably won't die. I don't know what venomous snake is so powerful."

"I heard it flows from the nearby river. Didn't we pass by the cross-river bridge just now?"

Soon, before Yin Ling could think any more, the trumpet sounded and the gathering began.

After counting the number of people, everyone thought they were about to set off, but found a few boxes of things being moved out, and then saw the rescue team personnel starting to take things out from inside.

"Dear fellow villagers, a poisonous snake has just appeared in the service area. Several fellow villagers have been bitten and have sought medical treatment in time. The snake has some bacteria on it, just in case. Now we will disinfect everyone. After disinfection, we can set off. , please wear a mask and hold your breath while disinfecting."

Before anyone could speak after the words fell, someone started disinfecting the cars in groups, and the cars were not spared either.

However, resources are limited and the spray is not very violent, so it is not very choking.

Yin Ling smelled it and saw that it was not a commonly used alcohol disinfectant. The bottle looked like an ordinary sterilizing liquid produced by a certain company. It can also be purchased online. It should be commonly used in service areas.

It took 20 more minutes for everyone to set off again. It was already dark, but everyone had something to talk about along the way. The family members of those who didn't get on the bus also stayed to look after them.

"I heard it's a venomous snake with a black body. Is it very venomous?" Yin Ling asked, seemingly chatting, while sitting in the passenger seat.

"I don't know the extent of the toxicity, but it attacks quickly after being bitten." Wang Xuan thought for a while, "I haven't seen the details. It's not our team's job to deal with it. Anyway, the person went into shock directly, but there is currently no life. Danger."

Yin Ling nodded. If it's not life-threatening, then it's fine. It's not a big problem.

Seeing that Yin Ling seemed to be relieved, Wang Xuan also said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, there are only three of them. I don't know if they came from the sewer pipe. Everyone couldn't react when they saw the snakes. He seemed rather flustered.”

Yin Ling nodded, it was normal for most people to scream when they saw a snake.

The car quickly left the service area. The snake in the service area was just something everyone talked about during the trip. Not many people really cared about it. What everyone cared about was tomorrow.

Because after this night, we will arrive at the resettlement site tomorrow.
