above the disease

Chapter 6
When the first ray of dawn shone into the gap between the reinforced windows of the clinic, everyone opened their eyes in unison.

Accustomed to the originally stable daily life, the first thing Lei Heng felt when he woke up was despair.

A gray mist loomed outside, bringing with it a terrifying sense of unknown.

"I'm...going to leave."

Lei Heng came to his senses and remembered today's plan.

That, that man named Zhou Zhi.

Is that guy really a plague exterminator?

Lei Heng was shocked.

Not far away, the man sitting next to the bed woke up earlier than them.

Although his face is childish and he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he has an indescribable sense of maturity.

Zhou Zhi held the scalpel in his hand using the bow technique, and then put it on his waist.

His eyes scanned the crowd.

Everyone has different expressions.

"We'll leave in 10 minutes."

Zhou Zhi said: "The earlier we set off, the more time we will have."

During the day, it may not be safe, but at night, it is definitely a dead end.

Everyone knew this, and no one raised any objection.

In the remaining few minutes, Lei Heng led people to scan around Bai Xiu's clinic, stuffed some unknown drugs into his pockets, and after making sure there were no more supplies left, waited in front of the clinic.

Xia Yu distributed masks made of curtains and took care of these patients with Xiaonan.

Lei Heng looked at the patient with a cold expression, but he did not have an attack.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou Zhi."

Xia Yu's beautiful eyes flashed slightly: "The supplies are enough for the time being. If we don't run into danger and save some land, we can last at least three days."

Obviously, if Zhou Zhi did not show up, the differences between Lei Heng and Xia Yu would erupt within three days.

Because the supplies left at the Baixiu Clinic were limited, and it was unrealistic to think of holding on until official rescue came with about twenty people.

In Zhou Zhi's hand, there was a regular mask, not the kind Xia Yu made from curtain cloth.

[Inferior quality mask].

[Effectively prevents the progression of influenza].

[Current status: perfect].

Zhou Zhi slowly put on the mask.

"Let's go."

The man whispered.

Now is the time to see this world for the first time.

A, brand new world.

Behind them, Lei Heng and others stiffened.

Although they had always wanted to leave the clinic, at this moment, they were left with only fear and fear of the unknown.

"I am afraid……"

Xiao Nan said in a low voice.

Xia Yu also looked complicated.

"We'll survive."

The reinforcement of the clinic door was slowly removed.

The bolts and the door made a sound similar to the moaning of an old man, more like the branches and leaves of rotten wood withering and falling.

Someone swallowed.

Everyone knows that outside the door is a world like hell.

wow.

The door was pushed open.

What Zhou Zhi felt was the cold wind.

Come face to face
It was somewhat different from Zhou Zhi's imagination.

Not through a window, but really looking outside.

The sky was gray, and the ray of dawn just now seemed like a dream.

This area called the outskirts of Qingshi Town is extremely quiet.

There was no sound.

There was a thin layer of mist in the air, which made Zhou Zhi feel like something was scratching his skin.

[Infected environment].

[Long-term exposure to this environment may lead to disease progression].

Is that so.

Zhou Zhi walked outside.

Seeing Zhou Zhi leading the way, Lei Heng and others looked at each other and also walked outside.

A little frightened, but still bravely took the step forward.

Summer fish followed closely behind.

They slow down the breathing rate as much as possible to prevent aggravation of the disease.

…………

The outskirts of the northeast corner of Qingshi Town.

This is Xiaonan's home.

Xiao Nan remembers that this place used to be very lively.

The small square is often crowded with people.

Neighbors, walking in the streets and alleys, their voices flowed in a corner of this small town.

but now……

There is nothing here.It was as quiet as death.

Without people, the house is intact.

Zhou Zhi walked on the bluestone steps, holding the handle of the scalpel at his waist in his right hand.

On Xia Yu's side, except for Xia Yu, Xiaonan and others are all aborigines of this area of ​​Qingshi Town.

Lei Heng is a gangster from the area next door.

As for Xia Yu, she is a student of Qingshi Central School.

In this way, Xiaonan and others will serve as guides for the time being.

The first thing is to get supplies.

Five minutes ago, Uncle Liang from the old, weak, sick and disabled group coughed twice and raised his hand.

"My hometown runs a shop, so there should be supplies there."

"I also want...I want to see how my wife is doing..."

When the epidemic struck, Uncle Liang was delivering goods outside and was separated from his wife.

I don't know if it's dead or alive.

Of course Zhou Zhi knew that Uncle Liang still had expectations in his heart, and this did not conflict with his and others' plans.

Walking down the steps, the architectural style of Qingshi Town is very low, not much different from the old-fashioned buildings I saw in my previous life.

However, Zhou Zhi looked into the distance through the top of the house.

Under the mist.

The center of Qingshi Town.

It is a taller and more exquisite building than other buildings.

Above, is a scalpel and heart logo.

It looked extremely strange in the light mist.

"That's the [Qingshi Town Central Hospital]."

After listening to Xia Yu's words, Zhou Zhi narrowed his eyes.

If the fog here is relatively thin, then the bluestone center.

The color of the fog there is very dark.

It can even be said to be close to black.

From a distance, it looks like a black giant standing in the center.

"It is said that there is an orthodox [epidemic specialist], that is, a doctor, in the Qingshi Town Central Hospital."

Zhou Zhi thought in his mind.

It is different from what I claim to be.

It is also the object of high hopes for Xia Yu and others.

"It's in the area in front of you, cough, cough, cough..."

Uncle Liang's face was covered with strange bacterial plaque, and he pointed at the cold path ahead. Zhou Zhi took a second look.

The disease index has exceeded [-], is this the state?

There was a strange smell in the air.

It smells like something rotting.

On the ground, there was strange slime.

slap.

One of Lei Heng's younger brothers stepped on it.

In an instant, his expression changed.

"This slime..."

Look at the front end.

In this corner, white mold spreads on the walls and paths.

On the ground, there was a thick liquid. In Zhou Zhi's eyes, it looked more like...

【Snot】.

"these are……"

"The traces left by those monsters!"

"Boss...there are monsters here!!"

The younger brother made a dry sound and his body was shaking.

Gollum.

The mucus made a curious sound, like some kind of hand stirring it.

"It's just ahead."

Uncle Liang smiled, as if he didn't see the mucus on the ground at all.

Ahead, there was the sound of crawling on a sticky substance.

At first there were only a few.

Then, densely packed, dozens of voices overlapped together.

Xiaonan was so frightened that her face turned pale.

It was almost impossible to speak.

the end of the street.

Heads glowing corpse-white poked out one by one.

[Their] eyes have no focus, like countless mannequins.

all of them.

"[Tearman]."

"[A disease that is likely to develop in ordinary humans after the disease index exceeds [-] after being infected with influenza]."

"[Although it looks disgusting, it is really disgusting]."
