Epoch of Twilight

People are easy-to-associate creatures. When it comes to infectious diseases, they immediately think of infection, isolation, death, and even...cleaning. Sometimes the fear in fantasy is often more frightening than the real threat.

In just a few seconds, there was no one around, and Luo Yuan stood there, frowning.

It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of infection, but that when the man fell down just now, a mutated mosquito flew up from behind him. He looked at the middle-aged man who was still struggling and twitching on the ground, and stepped forward a few steps, ignoring the nausea, grabbed his body and turned his back to the ground.

A purple-red lump the size of a fist suddenly appeared on the back of his already extremely swollen neck, and a trace of black blood was slowly flowing out from the red spot in the center of the lump.

"It's so poisonous!" His face became serious!

These mosquitoes are obviously not the mutated mosquitoes that were born and raised in Hedong City, they are very likely to come from the wild, otherwise they would never have suddenly appeared just now. The fortifications outside were fine against those large creatures, but against insects the size of a fist, they were powerless, and might not even be noticed at all. The defense of the entire Hedong City is like a sieve full of holes for these small creatures, undefended!

Moreover, its toxicity is too violent, which does not conform to the principle of biological evolution at all. No creature, not even the species at the top of the chain, would waste food like this. Just sucking a mouthful of blood, poisoning the whole creature to death, is a devastating blow to the whole food chain, and will eventually lead to the self-destruction of the whole species. The natural world is balanced, once a certain link is broken, a series of chain reactions will occur, eventually leading to a devastating blow.

But if it comes from the wild, all this makes sense. This kind of mutant mosquito is highly toxic only to humans. If the target is replaced by a mutant beast, the effect is probably the same as being stared at by an ordinary mosquito, but Humans are not mutant beasts, human beings are too fragile and delicate. To the mutant beasts, the toxicity was only a paralyzing effect, but to humans it was fatal enough.

There were faint screams in the distance, and a gust of cool wind blew by, making him feel cold.

He woke up from his contemplation, opened the door, sat in the cab, and the van turned around and drove towards the nearby grain market.

At the beginning, there were still people running in panic on the road, but within a few minutes, the road was empty, and several corpses were lying on the ground, some of them were still twitching and moaning...

The van carefully moved away from the corpses on the road. In just a few kilometers, Luo Yuan saw no less than a hundred corpses lying on the road.

"Zi!" Bread slammed on the brakes at the entrance of the market!

At this time, the security guards of several grain markets were about to close the gates, Luo Yuan quickly jumped out of the car and shouted, "Wait, I want to buy rice?"

"This place is closing, I have to buy rice and come back tomorrow!" A tall and thin security guard with a dark complexion said, with a trace of anxiety on his face, he motioned to the surrounding security guards to pull down the rolling door.

Luo Yuan was anxious, and his speed suddenly accelerated. When the security guard completely closed the rolling door, he pulled hard on the lower iron railing: "Brothers, it's not too late, it only takes a few minutes, if you move quickly , maybe not even a minute."

"What... what are you doing?" The tall and thin security guard was caught off guard for a moment. Just now he saw the man get off the car, but the next moment, the man had already pulled the rolling door.

"There is not enough food at home, and this situation happened outside. You also know that without food, our family will starve to death." Each of these security guards is well-equipped, and Luo Yuan does not want to cause other troubles. He took out a stack of one-hundred-jin large food stamps in his pocket, and without looking at them, he stuffed them in through the gap in the rolling door: "Brothers, please be considerate."

The tall and thin security guard picked up the stack of food stamps and counted them. There were eighteen of them. His heartbeat speeded up secretly, and his breathing became a little short.

He is also a person recruited by the government, but he is only a non-staff member. If you want to say that there is some oil and water, but you can't say it is nourishing. But when he considered the mysterious death outside, he hesitated.

"Captain!" Qian Neng was a ghost, seeing the captain hesitated, an older security guard couldn't help but uttered.

The tall and thin security guard came back to his senses, looked at the eager men around him, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't hesitate anymore, and said directly: "How much do you want?"

Luo Yuan also knew not to overdo it: "Five bags of fifty catties of new grain."

Everyone's eyes lit up, two hundred and fifty catties of grain, even if the new grain only needed three hundred and seventy-five catties of food stamps, then the remaining fourteen hundred grain stamps belonged to them.

"Hurry up and bring a few bags of grain over here!" the tall and thin security guard said in a low voice. The quota system implemented in the grain market, but as long as it is managed by people, there will inevitably be loopholes. They are the security guards of the grain market. As long as they are not excessive, they still have this privilege.

"Yes! Captain?"

Several tall and strong security guards quickly ran towards the warehouse, and it didn't take long to move five bags of grain over, and then pushed them through the crack of the door.

Luo Yuan dragged the five bags of grain aside, seeing that they were about to close the door, he hurriedly said, "Wait!"

The tall and thin security guard became vigilant, and quietly drew out his pistol, and the surrounding security guards also drew out their pistols one after another. He said in a deep voice, "The food is already given to you, what else do you want to do?"

Luo Yuan knew everything behind the rolling door. He took out six food coupons with a denomination of 100 jin again, and stuffed them into the crack of the door without hesitation: "My friends, don't get me wrong. This cooperation is very pleasant. Another chance."

The current situation does not know when it will end. In case the situation gets worse and worse, this amount of food is obviously not enough. Although these security guards are not high-ranking people, sometimes these people can often play a key role at critical times.

The tall and thin security guard was obviously taken aback when he saw the money stuffed in. In his position, he had never been in contact with such a battle, but he quickly realized: "Okay, I've made a deal with you as a friend. My name is Zhou." Feng, if you come to buy food in the future, come to me."

"Luo Yuan! There will be a date later."

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, he threw a sack over his shoulder, and then picked up two bags of grain with both hands, and strode towards the van.

His strength is 2.25 times that of normal people. If ordinary people can lift 75 kilograms, he can now lift about 170 kilograms. If converted into catties, it would be 340 catties, and five bags of grain would only weigh 250 catties. It was nothing to him at all.

Next, Luo Yuan went to the vegetable market again, which was closed, and no one opened the door even though Luo Yuan had said all his good words, obviously frightened by the sudden large-scale death.

They didn't dare to open the door, and Luo Yuan didn't do anything either. He could force his way in, but the consequences were unbearable. Let alone the dozen or so well-equipped security guards inside, even if he came out unscathed in the end, triggering violence from the Hedong City The consequences of a high degree of concern can make him think twice.

Luo Yuan drove the car to the community and carried five bags of grain to the third floor. As soon as he opened the door, a strong smell of vinegar hit his face.

"Why did you come back?" Huang Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Yuan who was intact, then quickly closed the door, and said anxiously: "I heard that there was a vicious infectious disease outside and many people died?"

"Don't worry too much, it's not an infectious disease." He moved five bags of grain to the storage room, and continued: "The structure of the virus is simple, and it is easy to mutate itself. This wave of biological evolution has very limited impact on it."

Huang Jiahui thought about it, and it made sense. The cold virus mutates very quickly, almost several times a year, but it didn't cause much impact.

"By the way, have you closed your windows?" Luo Yuan asked hastily when he remembered something.

"It has been closed long ago, and the windows are sealed with cloth strips."

"That's not necessary. Those people outside were all poisoned to death by mutant mosquitoes. It's okay to leave some gaps."

Huang Jiahui felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard the mutated mosquito. She had seen mutated mosquitoes before, and each of them was oversized. When bitten by it, it turned into a big bump, and it was extremely itchy. Someone was bitten by a mutated mosquito, and the skin was rotten, and they kept scratching until the blood was dripping. She was a little puzzled and said, "It's painful to be bitten by a mosquito, but it won't kill you!"

After Luo Yuan explained what he saw outside, Huang Jiahui's face turned pale immediately, and she stayed where she was a little dazed.

Luo Yuan did not speak again, counted the supplies, and then walked around the room, sensing every corner, saw the mutated mosquitoes in the room, and said solemnly: "I am afraid this matter will not end in a short time. It is enough, but there are not many dishes for dinner, starting today, the dishes for each meal will be halved, and it should be able to last for more than ten days."

At this time, Wang Shishi came out from the kitchen, holding a bag of edible vinegar in her hand, and then she pinched it, and a stream of vinegar shot out from the opening, and when it hit the air, it seemed to have completely lost the gravity of the earth's center, suspended, It turned into drops of water, big and small, and explained in a low voice: "This is not because I want to show off. There is no sprayer at home, but Sister Huang asked me to use it!"

The next moment, drops of water continued to explode, turning into clouds of water mist.

The sour smell in the room suddenly became stronger.

"Stop! Stop spraying." Luo Yuan shouted to stop with a headache.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shishi was puzzled.

I don't know who spread it during the SARS period. Vinegar can disinfect, so that the general public first thinks of using vinegar when encountering such a thing, but it has no effect at all.

"I'll tell you later, don't sprinkle it anymore, the smell is a bit uncomfortable, come here first!"
