System into the end of the world

Chapter 82

It seemed that the batch of mutant mice that had broken into the base were wiped out in this way, only occasionally a few "rats" that were caught were still fleeing in a hurry, but they didn't make a big difference after all, and were quickly discovered and wiped out.When it was dark, the rain began to fall again, with a patter that seemed endless.

For the sake of safety, the three of them are together when they sleep at night.Because everyone's room is a suite, they randomly chose Yu Nan's room, she and Jiajia lived in the inner bedroom, and Zhan Xuyang slept on the sofa outside.

After a peaceful night, when they got up, they saw the scene outside, Yu Nan and Zhan Xuyang were not well.

The rat corpses that had been soaked for more than a day began to swell and rot in the water.The rats in their yard have been cleaned up, but there are still countless rats outside.

The plague is not impossible to prevent, but in a densely populated place, it cannot be prevented by their family if they want to prevent it.Fortunately, the measures of the base soon came. On the one hand, they sent people to collect and incinerate the mutant rat corpses, on the other hand, they carried out disinfection work, and sent people to the door to publicize the methods of disease prevention.I heard that the people who lived with them in the west area of ​​D district were an old Chinese medicine family, and this time they also donated a lot of Chinese medicinal materials.

All of this was done in the rain, and the effect of disinfection and sterilization was compromised again. When talking on the phone with Yu Zhensheng at night, I learned that someone in District C had symptoms of the plague in the afternoon, and it spread quite quickly.

The smell of disinfectant water in the house is mixed with the smell of smoke and rancid smell from outside, which makes people have headaches.In order to promote the air circulation in the room, Yu Nan had to open the windows. Previously, the special effects of lavender and geranium kept most small flying insects away. After the rain, they immediately returned to their original shape. Flies and mosquitoes lay on the window In desperation, Yu Nan had to take out the insect repellant again and hang it by the window.

Trapped at home, news has become very blocked, Yu Nan and the others can only get a small amount of information from the daily calls.Every day people die, and every day more people get sick.

"In this world, where is there a safe place?" Even if you don't leave the base, you must be prepared to face death at any time.

"There has never been absolute safety, otherwise how could there be a saying that 'people sit at home, disasters come from heaven'." Zhan Xuyang sprayed disinfectant, washed his hands and sat next to Yu Nan. "What book are you reading?"

"Compendium of Materia Medica." She replied without raising her head, "See if there are any Chinese herbal medicines that can be used. I always feel that our ancestors' methods are more effective at this time." This set of books was bought in the morning. , a modern print edition.

"Can you help me?" he asked.A set of four books is not so easy to finish.

"No, you're busy with your work, don't worry about me." Yu Nan shook her head.

"Okay, then you should pay attention to rest, don't keep looking, it's not good for your eyes. I'll go and see Jiajia first, the little girl just said that she didn't understand a class." Yu Nan waved his hand, and Zhan Xuyang opened the door and went out.

It is recorded in the book that realgar, calamus, and atractylodes all have certain curative effects on the symptoms of the plague, but I don't know if she didn't read it carefully or didn't have it in the first place. After reading it for a few days, Yu Nan didn't find any prescriptions for the plague.

The Compendium of Materia Medica focuses more on recording the introduction and explanation of each medicinal material, and the emphasis on supplementary prescriptions is also on the medicine rather than the disease.Taking Cangzhu as an example, it mainly treats yellowish face, lack of food, likes to eat raw rice, spleen damp watery diarrhea, chronic dysentery, etc. The attached prescriptions include Cangzhu Cream, Cangzhu Pill, Guyuan Dan, Guzhen Dan, etc., and there may be a prescription Still talking about eliminating rheumatism and strengthening the spleen and stomach, the next prescription becomes a treatment for the long-term deficiency of the viscera, which makes it difficult to find the law.

What Yu Nan needs now is a prescription for a certain disease, rather than identifying the efficacy of each medicinal material. It should be said that she has looked in the wrong direction from the beginning.But this can't be blamed on her, she is not a medical student, and the medical books she can know are really limited, even if it is an apprentice who has just started learning Chinese medicine, I am afraid that she will not make such a mistake.

It can be said that I worked hard for several days, and almost all the work I did was useless.

After 24 days of intermittent rain, the rain finally stopped, entering early October.

A beautiful rainbow bridge was erected in the blue sky, which lasted for more than half an hour before dissipating.The accumulated water outdoors is up to the knees, and it almost flows into the house on the first floor. The furniture in the living room that is afraid of water has been moved to the second floor. This time, it can be moved back with confidence.

At this time, the number of deaths in the base finally reached a new high, and the number of people who had become ill or died reached one-third of the total population. When people began to rejoice that the disaster was about to pass, reality once again dealt a new blow to mankind.Due to continuous days of heavy rain, the river water poured into the land, and many zombie-like aquatic creatures that originally lived in the water also left their living areas and arrived in the human territory.

A group of soldiers was besieged when they left the base to go out to clean up all kinds of corpses. The soldiers on the city wall watched them being gnawed to nothing but a skeleton within 10 minutes, but they were unable to rescue them.The water is very muddy, except for one or two black shadows that can only be seen occasionally, no one knows how many zombie creatures are in the water and where they are distributed.The gate of the base was tightly closed, and no one dared to take another step outside.

After nearly a month of consumption, the food of each family has long been seriously insufficient, and there is nothing left to eat in the trading center, and they cannot go out, so people's hearts begin to float.The base office issued an announcement at noon:

[From now on, a porridge shop will be opened in front of the base office building at noon every day, and each ID card can be collected for free once a day.Please keep an eye out for new official announcements on the deadline. 】

"Shall we go too?" Zhan Xuyang asked Yu Nan.At this time, the two were standing at the door, facing the stagnant water in the yard.

Yu Nan knocked on the glass cover next to it, "I have to trouble you, take this thing out, it's too easy to break." Someone threw a stone in the night before yesterday, and it broke a piece.She is also tired of tinkering and tinkering, so it's better to just remove it.In the past, this was done because there was no method of repelling insects. Now that I have a permit, the glass cover is useless.

"Okay, you have the final say. I'll get it for you when the water recedes."

"Well, don't worry." Yu Nan nodded, "Let's not join in the fun over the cloth porridge, let's leave it to those who really need it."

"I'm afraid that everyone else will go, so if we don't go, it will make people suspicious." Zhan Xuyang put his hands in his trouser pockets, and when the wind blew, he began to feel cold.It seems that this rain brought people directly from summer to autumn.

"It's definitely not just our family. I don't think there will be many people going to District D." She paused, "Besides, it's not just rice and noodles that can fill you up. Director Tong knows about our situation, and we don't want to drink porridge. If you have to eat potatoes at home by yourself, who will be in the way."

Hearing this, Zhan Xuyang also smiled, "I think too much."

"Oh, I just don't know if little uncle can come back today." Yu Nan sighed. "He must not be able to eat well or sleep well during this period of time, and he probably lost a lot of weight."

"That's what soldiers do."

Yu Nan silenced his words.Soldiers take obedience to orders as their first criterion. When they choose this profession, they are destined to be different from ordinary people.And no matter when they retire in the future, those things engraved on the bones will never be erased.

Zhan Xuyang patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

As a result, Yu Zhensheng still failed to come back at night, and the population of the base dropped sharply, not only ordinary people, but also some soldiers.Some of them died while eliminating mutant rats, and some were infected when they came into contact with people infected with the disease. The soldiers in the base wished they could use one as two, and two as five. Yu Zhensheng had just finished the work ahead, Now being arrested again to help reassure the survivors.

Yu Nan was so scared that she urged and urged him to do a good job of prevention to avoid infection, and told him to tell her and Zhan Xuyang immediately if he felt uncomfortable, and they would send him medicine. .

Perhaps because of the drop in temperature, the water level dropped very slowly, about five or six centimeters per day.At the beginning, Yu Nan still went to look at it from time to time. After persisting for a day, he lost interest. With that time, he might as well brush more energy crystals.

Worried that the virus content in the water was too high, Yu Nan and Zhan Xuyang decided to stay indoors before the land outside dried.Cheng Yongzhi didn't care, he waded through the water to borrow some salt. I heard that they had been out of food for two or three days. If the base hadn't started to provide rice porridge, they would have the audacity to come here again to ask for rice.Yu Nan and Zhan Xuyang didn't care, but the people who came to fetch the rice always looked embarrassed.

Ding ding dong dong rang the doorbell, presumably Cheng Yongzhi had come, and Zhan Xuyang was entertaining him below, Yu Nan continued to play the game without moving his place.Sure enough, after a while, Cheng Yongzhi's voice was heard coming from downstairs.

She has already packed some meat and vegetables for him, and asked him to take them back to give everyone a toothache sacrifice, and drink porridge every day. Not to mention no nutrition, at most, he will not die of starvation. After a long time, when they can When I went out, I was so hungry and exhausted.

I used up the energy crystals in the backpack and increased the energy value by 15 points. When I looked back, I saw that the characters in the game were hacked to death by monsters again.Click back to the city to revive, and then put the materials here into the alchemy furnace to continue brushing energy crystals.

"Dong dong." "Xiao Nan." Zhan Xuyang knocked on the door and pushed it in.

"Huh? Why are you here? Brother Cheng is gone?" Yu Nan asked while controlling the character to run out.

"Let's go, he brought a message."

Yu Nan kept staring at the screen and didn't see his expression. "What news." She asked casually.

"Aquatic creatures have come ashore."

This is not news anymore, Yu Nan didn't understand why he had to say it again. "Oh, didn't you discover it a few days ago? You'll be fine when the water goes down. Anyway, aquatic organisms can't live without water."

"Remember those broken bridges we passed?" Zhan Xuyang sat beside her and looked at her.

"What broken bridge?" Yu Nan's attention was all on the game, his words went in from his left ear and went out from his right ear, without thinking about it at all.

"It's the bridges that were broken in the middle when we met Brother Cheng when we came back." Zhan Xuyang sighed secretly and reminded her.

"Oh..." Yu Nan ran the character to a safe place, and turned to look at him, "You said that broken bridge, remember, what's wrong? Could it be that thing that can spray water that ran out?"

She said it casually, but Zhan Xuyang nodded. "Isn't it?" Yu Nan was taken aback, "The one who can spray black water, black water is highly corrosive, and the one that sprays two or three meters high?"

Zhan Xuyang nodded again, "I've figured it out, those are river mussels, zombie-like mussels. And this time it's not just them, but also snails. The mucus of snails has also been found to be highly poisonous. As long as you touch it, The flesh on the body will immediately start to spread and rot."

"This is the rhythm of death."

"Didn't you say that it was very noisy outside today in the morning? Many people went up to the city wall to see it. There are also earth-type supernatural beings there to reinforce the city wall."

Hearing what he said, there should be no problem for the time being, so calm down, Yu Nan tapped on his forehead, "There will always be a time when the power is used up. Where has the water level dropped now?"

"At the current speed, it will take four or five days." Zhan Xuyang understood what she was asking and gave the answer directly. "The base has a lot of information about supernatural beings. According to Brother Cheng, there are 30 to [-] earth-type supernatural beings gathered this time. It is no problem to arrange them properly for a few days."

Yu Nan looked at him for a while, then smiled wryly, "Our base won't fall, will it?"

Zhan Xuyang covered her eyes with his hand, and pulled her into his arms, "No, don't guess. Those people above will always have some means that we don't understand, and nothing will happen. As long as they can persist, When the stagnant water falls, these aquatic organisms will not be able to jump up."

Yu Nan let out a long breath and leaned on his shoulder, "Yes."
