1, Building C823.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou sat on the bay window sill, watching soldiers wearing protective clothing carrying corpses to the playground.

The scorching sun shone down on the corpse.

Even though they were far away, they could still clearly see their bodies as dry as tree bark and their staring eyes by following the light.

It was clearly 37 degrees, but Chi Yue felt a chill.

She had experienced pain that was worse than death, and like them, she had watched her skin turn into dry skin.

Such powerless despair is still imprinted in her soul, and it makes her tremble every time she thinks about it.

Hearing Qizhou was equally unpleasant.

Just thinking about it, Chi Yue experienced the same torture in a place where he couldn't see, and his heart ached.

"Yueyue." He exhaled a breath and retracted his gaze from the corpse: "Shall we go into space to exercise?"

Single room activities are not available.

Every time they exercise they enter the space.

Chi Yue came back to her senses: "Okay."

She led Wen Qizhou into the space and walked straight to the area where the fitness equipment was placed.

They first ran on the treadmill for four to 10 minutes, then sat on the rowing machine and followed the fat-burning course on the screen.

Sweating can make people forget everything else.

Chi Yue, who is immersed in exercise, no longer thinks about the suffering she experienced in her previous life, nor is she trapped in infinite despair.

"Knock Knock──"

"There seems to be someone knocking on the door outside?" Wen Qizhou, who got off the rowing machine, seemed to hear a "knocking" sound.

Chi Yue stopped.

She listened carefully to confirm that the "knock-knock" sound was not their hallucination, and immediately took Wen Qizhou back to the single room.

The person knocking on the door asked, "Is anyone there?"

"Yes." Chi Yue walked towards the security door and looked into the corridor through the peephole: "Sorry, I didn't hear it just now."

"It's okay." The soldier holding a notebook and pen looked at the cat's eye keenly: "Do you live alone?"

"No, there is also my husband."

"Say your name."

Chi Yue told them their names.

She took out a towel, wiped the thin sweat on her forehead and neck, and waited for his next routine question.

The soldier wrote down the house number and name, and spoke again through the mask: "Did you go to the commercial street last night?"

"I've been there."

"Are there any traces of mosquito bites on your body?"

"No."

"sure?"

"Sure." They checked each other last night when they took a shower, and found no traces of bites.

Listening to Chi Yue's determined tone, the soldier ended his routine investigation: "Then please close the doors and windows tightly and don't go out."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

When he knocked on Mingming's door, Chi Yue walked to the double sofa and dragged over the movable TV, ready to watch the show.

Wen Qizhou followed and sat next to her.

He stretched his legs, leaned on the back of the sofa in a lazy posture, raised his eyelids, and looked at the picture on the screen.

After watching an episode attentively, there was another "knocking" sound coming from the security door.

This time, he walked to the door.

"Chi Yue? Are you two here?" He Chengfeng, who had just reached the eighth floor, turned his face into the cat's eye: "I am He Chengfeng."

"Brother He?"

"Hey." He helped Ge Qinyao finish the message and asked with concern: "How are you doing? Didn't you encounter any bugs?"

"No, we're fine."

While they were chatting through the door, Chi Yue took out six pounds of pork belly and a bag of grain seeds to be donated to the base.

She sealed the bag and opened the door quickly. Before He Chengfeng could react, she put two things at his feet and closed the door with a bang.

He Chengfeng: "??"

He felt a gust of wind blowing by, and before he could see clearly who was opening and closing the door, two more things appeared at his feet.

He asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

"The sacks contain grain seeds we found outside some time ago. Please donate them to us."

In order to avoid attracting attention, she did not plan to donate too much at once. The small burlap bag only contained fifty packets of seeds.

"Okay, I'll apply for the award for you later..."

"No." Chi Yue does not need official rewards or bonuses: "We donate anonymously."

Donations may be made anonymously to the base.

Residents in the middle and upper classes who occasionally want to show kindness but are worried about being noticed by caring people and causing unnecessary trouble usually choose to donate materials to the base anonymously.

He Chengfeng didn't force it: "Okay." He lowered his head and looked at his feet again: "What's in the other plastic bag?"

"Pork belly, I'll give you extra food." "No, no! We have food and drink in the team, so we can't ask for anything from you." He quickly picked up the plastic bag, which was like a hot potato, and motioned for them to open the door.

"Then just leave it at the door and wait for it to stink."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Zhuo An, who was disinfecting the corridor on the left, saw him standing there and asked in confusion.

"The couple will bring us meat."

He Chengfeng explained the situation.

He clutched the plastic bag and raised his hand to knock on the door twice more. He found that Wen Qizhou and his wife were not paying attention to anyone, which made him even more distressed.

"...Then just keep it." You can't just leave the pork belly at the door and wait for it to stink.

Zhuo An thanked him loudly.

Hearing Qizhou's "You're welcome", he had no choice but to chuckle, picked up the sack and left the eighth floor with He Chengfeng.

*
After three days of comprehensive sterilization, the service area dispatched a team to notify employees in the factory and planting area to start work with double wages and an additional ten kilograms of grain.

The service area adopts a voluntary system.

After a round of statistics, the majority of employees were willing to return to work. On the second day after receiving the notice, they put on the officially issued protective clothing and returned to their respective posts.

As for the shops in the commercial streets, officials decided to temporarily close them and only sent soldiers to take over the supermarkets.

Because the number of protective clothing was insufficient, they adopted a distribution system in the early stage and delivered supplies to residents door-to-door.

When the factory ramps up production and gradually catches up with the quantity they currently need, the soldiers will then provide them with protective clothing.

One item per household for free.

Those who have received protective clothing need to go to the supermarket by themselves and pay points to buy daily necessities or protective clothing.

The number of people stepping out of the door is increasing day by day, but Nuoda's base still looks lifeless.

People often stop in front of the bulletin board and watch the official announcement of the death toll of the previous day, feeling unspeakably sad.

An old man said: "We have been issued protective clothing, so why are so many people dying?"

"Didn't you see that 80% of people died in residential areas? It should be because insects crawled into their homes."

"Haven't the pipes and corridors been disinfected?"

"disinfecting only lasts for a while." Unless the army kills continuously, mutated bugs will still run around.

"Ugh……"

All kinds of people gathered in front of the bulletin board, leaving sighs of emotion and regret, and then quickly dispersed.

When a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the base, a dilapidated van carrying three people also drove towards the entrance of the base.

There were not many vehicles queuing at the entrance.

The people in the car didn't wait long. They stepped on the accelerator and reached the gate, got off the car and went to the registration desk window to register.

"Is there an insect infestation here too?" Yao Chengwei took off his mask and looked at the registrar who was also wearing protective clothing.

"Correct."

"When did it start?"

"Two months ago." After the registrar took pictures of them, he reminded them: "Please turn in the controlled knives and guns."

"what?"

"Weapons are not allowed on base."

Zhao Peng asked again and again and determined that there was no room for maneuver, so he had to ask Yao Chengwei to take out the gun they had collected for a long time.

The gun's magazine was empty of bullets.

But it had been with them for too long, and when it was handed over to the registrar, they all showed a trace of reluctance.

Sun Rui asked: "If we leave the base someday, can you give it back to us?"

"I'm afraid not."

"Okay." She suppressed the emotion in her eyes, took a copy of the "House Instructions", and got into the van with them.

Yao Chengwei, who was in charge of driving, took the two of them around all the areas just like Wen Qizhou and the others did when they first arrived.

Then, go to the office to rent a room.

They redeemed 2154 points and were able to rent a one-bedroom apartment, but Zhao Peng said: "The large area means there are many windows, and mutant bugs can easily crawl in. Should we rent a single room? Let's squeeze in a squeeze first and get through this period." "

They didn't have the tools to seal the windows.

Instead of focusing on the windows, it is better to cut off the trouble at the source and rent a single room with only one window.

Yao Chengwei nodded: "Okay."

He swiped his card to pay the rent, got the key to his new home, and drove to Building D2 in District 1.

The key had the number 707 on it. They walked to 707 according to the house number and cleaned up very carefully.

For safety reasons, Yao Chengwei borrowed insect repellent and disinfectant from the administrator downstairs and sprayed all the corners; Zhao Peng used the cement they brought from Huaining City to seal the toilet and pipes in the bathroom. and sewers.

After cleaning up, they moved the luggage from the car to the parking lot and asked the administrator to exchange three single mattresses.

Sun Rui spread out her sleeping bag: "I'm exhausted." She sat alone by the window sill, looking at the surrounding buildings, her thoughts drifting away: "Brother Peng, do you think Sister Yue and the others have arrived in the capital?"

"It's definitely here."

If they hadn't been trapped on the island for too long, and were detoured and stagnant due to earthquakes, cold waves and other disasters, they might have met Chi Yue and the others in the capital.

Zhao Peng sat against the wall.

He took off his goggles and mask and looked out the window following the sunlight: "Let's go out tomorrow morning and find someone to inquire about." (End of Chapter)
