42. Mission Begins
Under the guidance of the landlord's aunt, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan came to the fishing company.
The manager who received the three kept practicing Tai Chi, saying that there was no signal at sea and the ship would come back soon.
Even if you use alarm threats, you cannot get any information.
The three of them can only return.
"There's nothing to do." The landlord aunt comforted Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan, "It should be that the company is going to transport some black goods, so we won't know."
The three of them returned home. It was already evening. After another twelve hours, the deadline for reaching the island when the sun rises tomorrow.
Xia Yi flipped through the post of the gamer in the morning and found that several players who arrived late complained that due to the weather, all the ships that came were stopped and they had to charter a boat at a high price.
Xia Yi opened the weather forecast and looked at it. It was sunny recently.
When he walked out of the room, he saw Qiu Ruoyan who was also out. The two of them came downstairs and asked the landlord and aunt again.
"What do you always care about this?" The landlord felt something was wrong.
Xia Yi told her: "In fact, we are journalists. It seems that something happened at sea, but don't worry, there should be no casualties."
Under Xia Yi's coaxing, the landlord tried hard to recall the details.
"My son said... they encountered a bulk carrier, secretly replaced some oil with fish and the other party, and a mouse floated inside the oil..." The landlord said everything his son talked to her half a month ago.
"Rat..." Xia Yi looked at Qiu Ruoyan.
The two stood up and left the landlord's house. Before leaving, Xia Yi said to the landlord: "There may be an accident on the island recently, so it's better to go to the mainland to hide."
"What can happen to this? The boat will arrive on land in a few hours." The landlord aunt didn't believe it.
Xia Yi didn't say anything more, and he and Qiu Ruoyan went out.
"No need to remind her, they are just NPCs." Qiu Ruoyan looked at Xia Yi and said.
Qiu Shoufu told them about the composition of this kind of copy. The venues used in the copy are all projections of reality. In addition to the players, humans are also projections of real humans.
"I know, I'm just saying something." Xia Yi sighed. Although these people were not real, they were the same as real people.
"What do you think?" Qiu Ruoyan asked about the serious matter.
"There are no exact clues, I can only guess." Xia Yi looked at Qiu Ruoyan, "Let's guess together?"
"Infectious disease." Qiu Ruoyan said.
"Plague." Xia Yi said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, headed straight to the commercial street, making the final purchase of supplies.
They first went to the pharmacy, bought medical masks and some common medicines, then went to the car shop, and exchanged the remaining money for gasoline.
Xia Yi also bought two sets of chemical protection suits from a factory.
With a lot of stuff, they returned home.
Next, it's time to wait.
Lying on the bed, Xia Yi was sleeping with a mask.
At six o'clock in the morning, he and Qiu Ruoyan woke up and sat on the sofa waiting for the prompt to appear.
At seven o'clock, the prompt sound rang on time.
【The first day begins】
[Number of survivors: 335]
[Players who fail to arrive on time will be deprived of their power to play]
The so-called deprivation of power in the game means depriving people of their existence and disappearing forever.
【Copy task has been generated】
【Main mission: Survive for 100 days】
[Side Quest: Kill infected creatures]
"It's indeed an infectious disease." Qiu Ruoyan's tone was low. Although she guessed it, she was not happy. Although the survival rate of this copy of the disease is not low, it will be very troublesome once it is infected.
Xia Yi touched the mask and confirmed that she was wearing it intact.
They turned on the TV and there was a news broadcast in the news.
"Recently, a group of mice entered our island through the port. For the ecological environment of our island, please inform the police to immediately clean up after seeing the mice."
"If you are sure, you can also use a container to catch it. Please be careful not to touch mice with your hands. The mice carry many bacteria on them, and their teeth are sharp..."
Xia Yi took out his cell phone and looked at the gamers' posts.
"Damn it, it's plague, it must be plague!"
"It has not spread yet, so it is recommended that you actively kill rats"
『It is recommended that everyone go out immediately and buy masks and other items in the shopping mall』
...
Xia Yi frowned and deeply felt the darkness of these players.
There is no doubt that rats are the vector of viruses. Encouraging others to kill rats is equivalent to encouraging others to commit suicide.
The virus is the fastest in densely populated areas, so running to crowded shopping malls is also a deaf act.
Not everyone is as rational as Xia Yi. Those bandage men survived by luck, and those players who were not very smart in Xi Qiyue might be induced by these posts.
After thinking about it, Xia Yi posted a post and dug up all the malicious teachings.
He is not going to help those players who don’t know good or evil, but he can remind them not to commit suicide.
There was a reply soon below the post, and there were all flattering words. The meaning between the lines was to ask Xia Yi to say some more precautions.
Xia Yi’s post was just out of humanitarianism and had no idea of continuing to control it.
However, another person posted a post, popularizing simple masks and epidemic prevention, and Xia Yi recorded the contents in it.
After closing the forum, he came to the balcony, and the voices of neighbors came from the bottom of the building.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yi asked Xiang Qiu Ruoyan.
"A litter of mice was found in the garage, and they were discussing what to do." Qiu Ruoyan replied.
Xia Yi quietly watched the situation.
A group of neighbors finally decided to solve the problem by themselves. They prepared net bags, cages and other utensils, opened the roller shutter door of the garage, and entered.
After a noise, Xia Yi heard a scream.
The screams were not loud, and the noise continued.
Five minutes later, five neighbors who participated in the catching of mice walked out with a cage of mice.
One of the neighbors covered his feet and he was bitten by a mouse.
The bitten neighbor is a resident living opposite the landlord. He is sturdy and waves to say nothing is wrong.
"When I was in the countryside, I was bitten by mice. It's okay, I'll go to the hospital for an injection." After that, the strong man rode a bicycle to the hospital.
Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan returned home and continued to watch the news.
In the afternoon, Xia Yi heard the movement downstairs and the strong man went home.
After sorting out the mask, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan came outside the door to inquire about the situation.
"The mouse seems to be a little sick. Several of them have been bitten these days. I have to be hospitalized to observe the situation." The strong man explained, "I'll come back to pack up my clothes."
"I'll help you!" The landlord looked at the strong man with distress.
After the strong man left, he sent a message to the landlord in the hospital. Through the landlord, Xia Yi also learned about the situation in the hospital.
Chapter completed!
