Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 6 6 - Extremely Hot Weather
When Yin Ling got home, she cut off her long hair and replaced it with a men's short haircut. Just as she was walking on the road, she noticed that someone had been eyeing her. Although she had kept a low profile, she couldn't bear the vagaries of the world and the sinister nature of people's hearts.

The next night it was Su Nian who called her, while Grandma Wang and her neighbor Nachai walked slowly in front.

Su Nian was surprised when she saw Yin Ling. The young lady with long flowing hair and outstanding temperament last night turned into a handsome young brother with short hair tonight.

"Yin Ling, what are you doing?" Su Nian pointed at Yin Ling's hair in surprise.

Yin Ling blinked and smiled, "This is more convenient." Speaking of which, Su Nian is only two months younger than her, but Yin Ling skipped a grade, so she is now a sophomore, while Su Nian is about to be a freshman.

The two of them walked slowly and soon caught up with Grandma Wang and her group in front of them. Yin Ling deliberately slowed down her pace not wanting to attract everyone's attention and did not come forward. Su Nianshe probably didn't come forward to find her grandma either. The two of them Followed behind silently.

It wasn't until Grandma Wang thought of her granddaughter that she realized that Yin Ling had cut her hair very short. She looked at it a few more times out of curiosity. Yin Ling stood next to Su Nian and smiled as a greeting.

Grandma Wang looked back thoughtfully, then turned back to look at Su Nian next to her. Su Nian's hair was not long, just reaching her shoulders. Because her hair was a little oily because she hadn't washed it in the past two days, she had it tied in a ponytail.

A group of people arrived at the supermarket. Yin Ling found that the supplies had changed. There were no fruits and vegetables, only rice, noodles and water. The water was in a large barrel and did not look like mineral water. Yin Ling guessed that it was filtered pure water.It seems that the water is about to be cut off.

Going out on the third night, Yin Ling found that Su Nian's hair had also been cut short, but it was obviously neater and better looking than Yin Ling's own hair. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then followed the group to the supermarket to buy.Yin Ling specially wore a mask when she went out today because she found someone coughing when she went out last night. In any case, diseases are easy to get in hot weather. Now that the traffic has stopped, she is not sure whether it has spread, but she is still cautious. good.

Seeing that she was wearing a mask, Su Nian thought she was sick and took the initiative to ask about the situation. Yin Ling gave her a new mask and reminded her in a low voice, "I saw someone yesterday who seemed to have a cold and was coughing. You know , It’s difficult to see a doctor now, so it’s best to take precautions first.”

On such a hot day, everyone wants to take off their clothes to cool off. Who wants to wear a mask and feel stuffy and hot?When Su Nian took the mask handed over by Yin Ling and hesitated whether to put it on, there were coughs next to her, as if urging her to put it on, which frightened her to put the mask on immediately.

Yin Ling and Su Nian looked at the person who came together. She was an old woman in a wheelchair, pushed by a middle-aged uncle. Because now you need to bring your ID card to buy things, so as long as she is not bedridden, Everyone has to go out, and those who are really unable to go out will be registered by the neighborhood committee and delivered at a fixed time. However, because of the shortage of manpower, we try to let everyone go out and buy it by themselves.

The two of them walked away silently. Su Nian looked at Yin Ling, hesitating for a while, and finally said, "Thank you, Sister Yin Ling, do you still have a mask? I want to lend one to my grandma, or I can exchange it for you with food." That's fine." She had no intention of taking Yin Ling's things for free.

Yin Ling took out another mask from her bag and handed it to her, "This is for you. Your grandma Wang has also helped me a lot these days, so I would like to express my gratitude."

Su Nian was silent for a moment. In fact, he didn't do anything to help. He just asked her to go out together and told her some gossip in the community.

"Thank you."

Su Nian nodded to Yin Ling after taking the mask, and then quickly walked along the crowd and found her grandma who was chatting happily with her old friend, regardless of whether she saw it or not. Grandma, Su Nian didn't know how to interrupt for a moment, it was a frightening moment.Yin Ling wanted to laugh when she saw this scene. The laughing and chatting grandma VS the fearful granddaughter who can't speak. This combination is really hilarious.But she didn't step forward to help. In this world, we often have to rely on ourselves.

Su Nian saw her grandma walking away without noticing her while she was talking. She gritted her teeth and walked up to her grandma, "Grandma, I have something to tell you."

Just like that, Su Nian pulled Grandma Wang aside, and the two whispered a few words. Finally, Yin Ling saw Grandma Wang take the mask and put it in her pocket, and then said to the aunts who were still waiting for her, "No. I'm sorry, you can go first, I have to wait for a friend's child, so I won't be with you."

The aunts didn't pay attention, they waved their hands and walked forward with the narrator.

Yin Ling raised her eyebrows, thinking that this Grandma Wang was really a wonderful person. It would be strange if she walked with them wearing a mask. She suddenly put on the mask while walking, which was not very abrupt.Just don't go together and save yourself the trouble.

At this moment, Yin Ling rushed up and immediately enthusiastically pulled the people along. It was dark and there were many people, so the three people wearing masks did not attract much attention.

However, what surprised Grandma Wang and Su Nian was that when the three of them queued up at the entrance of the supermarket, they were shocked to find that the security personnel and salespersons stationed there were all wearing masks, and there was a strong smell of disinfectant in the store.

The two looked at Yin Ling silently, feeling that she seemed to have inside information. Su Nian looked at Yin Ling with gratitude in her eyes.But Yin Ling just wanted to say that it was really a coincidence, there was really no one above me.

However, what surprised Yin Ling was that this time there was a box of masks and a bottle of 1000ml medical disinfectant alcohol. The food only had two large buckets of water and a box of compressed biscuits. This made Yin Ling feel that almost everything that should be sold had already been sold. It feels like the inventory that has been accumulated for many years has finally been cleared.

Sure enough, Yin Ling just had an idea. After the radio broadcast the list of supplies, he continued to broadcast, "The weather has been hot recently, and a new type of bird flu virus is spreading. Please go out and take precautions. Do not eat meat from unknown sources or drink alcohol." Water of unknown origin.”

The radio broadcast over and over again, and people who heard the content were a little restless. Some people bought the supplies and immediately took apart their masks and put them on, and then looked around, as if everyone looked like virus carriers.

When it was Yin Ling's turn to scan the QR code and pay, she heard the cashier in the narration say, "Don't come here tomorrow. The supermarket is temporarily closed for a week. Come back in a week."

Yin Ling was stunned for a second, then nodded without asking any more questions. No wonder the people in front of him were mumbling when they were paying the bill. It turns out that this is the case.
After leaving the supermarket, Grandma Wang and Su Nian were waiting for her at the door. Grandma Wang thanked Yin Ling again for the mask, but she was smart enough not to ask any more questions, nor was she too worried about the supermarket closing. She thought she was in the supermarket. Her daughter-in-law at work had told her earlier.

But it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not, because whether you know it or not, you can’t change everything, right?
