Reborn in the last days, I want to lay down and win

Chapter 60 Prion

According to the rate of increase in temperature, the extreme cold will soon end.

I just don't know if the ice will disappear overnight like in the previous life, or if the temperature will rise above 0 degrees, the ice will gradually melt, and City C will experience another severe flood.

But one thing is for sure, City C can't stay any longer.

Whether the temperature rises directly until the ice disappears, or it experiences another flood, it can be predicted that life in C City will be difficult in the future.

With the disappearance of the ice layer, the corpses outside are directly exposed to the ground, and bacteria continue to breed. In addition, people are now suffering from food shortages, malnutrition, and weakened resistance, which can easily cause infection and spread of bacteria and viruses, and the plague is likely to spread.

Or, when there are few houses that can be directly lived in in City C, the flood is raging, and it is difficult to even pitch a tent or live in the open air.

"We're moving." Gu Yanzhi sighed quietly, thinking to himself, planning to wait for Song Zhao to come back to discuss it with him.

Song Zhao recently found a job as a porter outside, which is to help rescue teams or government relief food distribution offices deliver supplies.

Now he and Gu Yanzhi are the only two people at home. Gu Yanzhi cannot move in this situation and certainly cannot go out to work.If he doesn't go out to work, there will be no production at home, but there will be no shortage of food and drink, and the two of them are not losing weight, which will arouse suspicion sooner or later.

The job he's looking for is very leisurely. He only needs to deliver the supplies to the designated place at a fixed time every day, and he has no work for the rest of the time, so that he can take care of Gu Yanzhi at any time.

Relatively the job pay is not high, only three meals are included, and the three meals provided will be better than porridge or soup like water-like relief food, at least dry food and occasionally a can of canned food.

Song Zhao delivered supplies at three meal times every day, so he could bring his own meals and Gu Yanzhi's relief food directly back to the tent without spending time traveling.

Even such a low-reward job is now the envy of everyone.

The factory established by the government collapsed in the earthquake, and there is no manpower available for excavation and reconstruction. Many workers working in the factory are temporarily unemployed and can only look for other jobs.

The three meals provided by the government to the affected people are either porridge, or batter, and occasionally vegetable soup, but without exception, they are like water. If you fill a bowl with water, you will be hungry soon.

It's not that the government doesn't want to provide better food. Many supplies are being buried under the ruins and are still being excavated. The available supplies are limited. Only in this way can more people be able to eat.

When this job came out, everyone rushed to get in. If it weren't for the help of Building 10, Song Zhao might not have gotten this job.

In the past, the three members of the Gu family helped them a lot, but they had limited repayment. Now they finally had the opportunity, and the several families took turns to ask the person in charge of the recruitment about the results and speak well of Song Zhao when they had free time.

Knowing that Song Zhao has good skills and is also bold and careful, the person in charge was very happy and decided on Song Zhao first.

The person in charge also knows that there is not much food and the crowd is hungry. It is inevitable that some people will be emotional and may do some irrational things when they are excited.

If one accidentally lets them rob supplies, more people will have no food to eat, and they may not even be able to maintain the most basic life.

The delivery of materials does require such a skilled person as the backbone.

Now they don't know how long the supplies in City C can last, so they can only go and see them every day, trying to ensure that more people can eat.

In the evening, Song Zhao returned home after delivering the last supplies of the day.

Gu Yanzhi had already laid out all the food on the table, and it was steaming hot right now.

"What delicious food did you prepare today?" Song Zhao lifted the curtain of the tent, and immediately covered it carefully again.

As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the aroma of food.

Today, a material delivery team was found out for pocketing their own money, and was fined to do coolies.Their team ran a few more times to transport the supplies that the team was responsible for to the location.

After working longer than usual, Song Zhao also felt hungry.

After changing out of his dusty clothes, Gu Yanzhi handed Song Zhao a wet tissue, he wiped his hands, and sat down at the small dining table.

The small dining table was the bed table that Gu Yanzhi found out when he just woke up. For the convenience of Gu Yanzhi, they have been using this table for eating recently.

During the meal, Gu Yanzhi mentioned to Song Zhao that they might have to move away.

No need for Gu Yanzhi to say much, she only raised her head once, and Song Zhao understood what she meant.

Even if Gu Yan didn't know about it, Song Zhao would still mention it to her today.

Recently, he was working outside and noticed that there were more and more people outside with fever, cough, and diarrhea.It's still cold, so it can't be the plague.

If it is said that people eat less now, it is also possible that the resistance will drop and lead to illness, but Song Zhao still has a more terrifying guess in his mind.

"You mean..."

After Song Zhao finished talking about the symptoms, Gu Yanzhi's eyes widened. Obviously, she also thought of a certain possibility.

Prions! !

Gu Yanzhi knew that a group of people in City C had been secretly collecting corpses secretly.

In the past, the remuneration of work plus the assistance from the government was enough to sustain life, so although there were such people, it was always carried out secretly under the control of most people's conscience and the government, and not many people participated.

Unexpectedly, less than a week after the earthquake, food was already scarce to the extent that prions could breed and spread.

If Song Zhao hadn't mentioned it today, Gu Yanzhi would have almost forgotten that there was a prion outbreak in his previous life.In the previous life, due to the lax government control, there was far more darkness than in this life, and prions also broke out earlier.

During that time, almost half of the people in City C died, and the government reacted and began to control it, but it was too late, and in the end, less than one third of the people in City C were still alive and healthy.

No matter how you look at it, City C is no longer suitable for staying.

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao reached an agreement tacitly.

The most difficult thing to deal with now is Gu Yanlin. Gu Yanlin has already joined the army. Unless something unexpected happens, he must follow the 532 team and follow the instructions of the leader.

I don't know if they can let him retire. Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao really can't worry about Gu Yanlin alone.They must live around Gu Yanlin.

If Team 532 does not evacuate City C, there is a high probability that the two of them will not leave City C. Even if they leave, they will find a place to live around City C at most.

Simply, it looks like there are still a few days of buffer time, they just need to think about it carefully.

This matter has to wait for Gu Yanlin to complete the rescue mission, and he can discuss it carefully when he has time when he returns.
