Natural Disaster Apocalypse

On the third day, the fog in the sky still did not dissipate, and the color of the sky could not be seen clearly. At noon, street lights were still turned on to illuminate the road.

People's adaptability is very strong. After the initial panic, many people have calmed down now. The smog persists, but they still have to eat, work and school, and there is no way to stop. Although the smog is heavy, you can travel normally if you slow down on the road. Some people think that this kind of air looks very dirty, and they don’t need to be reminded to wear a mask when they go out, but many older generations have no concept of wearing a mask at all. They think that no matter how dirty and dusty it is, it’s still air. Don’t people breathe air? Are you dead?

Mu Nan even saw someone posting photos on the Internet. At this time, some parents did not listen to the government's advice to stay at home, and ran out early to exercise in the fog.

For this point, Mu Nan is really a little hard to understand. Whether this exercise is for health preservation or death, even if they don't know the disease brought by the smog, but this kind of abnormal weather, ordinary people can get away without going out. Try not to go out.

The air quality has dropped to an unprecedented low level, and at the same time, there has been a rush to buy masks. He saw that many people in the alumni group said that they are not willing to use domestic masks, and feel that domestic masks are cut corners and are useless. , I would rather spend more money to find a purchasing agent to buy it from abroad.

Mu Nan doesn't know if these people who are disgusted now will be able to buy masks in the future, and if they can't buy masks, will they regret their dislike now.

The disease of lung swelling exploded on the Internet on the third day of the smog. It was a mother who posted a video, begging the masses for help. Her child was sick, had a fever and a cough, and has already started to have difficulty breathing. But the hospital has no beds, not to mention that they can't even get treatment, and if they don't get treatment, her child will die.

In the video, the hospital is overcrowded, and there are heads everywhere. Some people even lie on the ground to get an injection, but more people don’t even have the chance to get an injection, because the doctors and nurses are simply too busy. Even some doctors and nurses who are not respiratory I was recruited temporarily, but I still couldn't resist the tide of patients.

As soon as this video was released, similar videos appeared in many places. This is not a city, but all over the country. There are even some foreign students sending videos back to China to ask for help. They are sick, but they can’t get medical treatment. Now the flights are grounded Now, they can't even buy high-priced air tickets to return home. What's more frightening is that the foreign countries are completely messed up. They can't even go out to buy food, so they can only hide at home. , they hope that the country will hear their voices and take them home.

They don't know if this global smog is a harbinger of the end, but the country they are in now has obviously become the end of the world. They never knew that in their lifetime, they could experience something like a time of war in a civilized country General burning and looting.

The first country to launch an evacuation operation was Huaxia. After overseas students and many stranded tourists sent out distress videos, the news released the evacuation operation the next day.

Some people lamented the country’s power of action, but some began to curse with their keyboards, saying that saving these people is a waste of the country’s resources, and those who want to go abroad when there is nothing wrong, and want to return to the country when something happens, are not worth it at all. save.

The Internet is very lively, and all the topics are smog, evacuation operations, and strange lung swelling.

Some people have already associated this large-scale epidemic disease with the strange thick fog and smog before, but some people said that this disease had already appeared before the thick fog, so what the pathogen is has yet to be verified.

When the epidemic broke out, many people were afraid to go out. They didn't know how the disease got it, whether it was the air or the torrential rain before. Those who got sick were desperate, and those who were not sick were panicking.

Before the complete chaos, the country began to operate quickly, starting from the worst cities, stopping the opening of all public places, stopping the operation of all workplaces, everyone must stay at home, from the community, to the community, to the urban area , layer upon layer of control.

This is not a shutdown of a city, it is almost a shutdown of the whole country. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the country's economy. Maybe this shutdown will make the economy that the country has finally developed can be set back for decades, but the country still does this, even though It is risky, but it can protect the lives of more people.

Their country is considered to be the fastest to move, the thunder strikes, and there is no one to object, so they can only obey the arrangement.

But in foreign countries, this kind of national shutdown is almost impossible, such as marching with placards, gathering crowds to make trouble, clamoring for the government, some people jointly robbed the supermarket, some people blew up the police station in anger, etc., what a mess have to.

On the second day after the start of the evacuation, some people who have successfully returned to the country have sent out videos of the evacuation. Except for the stranded tourists and students in their country, other countries have it. When people of different skin colors and different races gather together , amid all kinds of flustered and desperate emotions, the bright red flags became the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of everyone. Looking at the many people who were still stranded in the same place, those who boarded the plane to return to the country were full of gratitude for their survival after the catastrophe.

When the news announced that the epidemic was most likely related to smog, many people in Mu Nan's community were already sick. Because of the community's control, many sick people had no way to go to the hospital by themselves, so they had to contact the community. , The community goes to the hospital to arrange the number, but it is not that one hospital corresponds to one community, but dozens, or even hundreds of communities. There are too many sick people, so how can this be arranged.

People who have been unable to wait for treatment will inevitably do some extreme things under all kinds of desperation, smashing and making troubles, and some even smashed the doors and windows of other people's houses. Holding me is hard, and no one else can think about it. Extreme mentality Well, these people were naturally arrested in the end, but the paralysis of medical treatment prevented many people from getting a chance to go to the hospital, and they couldn't wake up again.

In his previous life, Mu Nan didn't feel so deeply. At that time, he didn't feel that this was the end of the world, because the country's control was still in place, and the overall planning and scheduling maintained social order, which made many people believe that when the initial chaos passed, It will get better later on, so even if he was locked at home, he didn't panic at all. His work was not affected by the smog and he couldn't go out. Time hangs on the Internet to eat melons.

Now he is idling at home, seeing more things from the Internet, and this time the feeling is naturally deeper. But compared to those subsequent disasters, the smog this time is still the lightest. At least the country and human nature have not completely lost control at this time.

When the iron gate outside was knocked, Mu Nan didn't think much about it. He thought it was a community visit to investigate. Their community established a group after the smog closed the area. Any notices will be posted in the group. Two days ago That is to say, in the past few days, someone will come to register the number of people at home.

When he opened the door and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person, Mu Nan was stunned.

He had known Qin Huai since he was born. It was said that Qin Huai held the bottle to feed him the first milk he drank. He was so small that he was still hugging him, so he stretched out his hand to feed him. He had been separated from Qin Huai since he was fifteen years old. Counting his last life, he couldn't remember how many years he had been separated from Qin Huai. When Qin Huai appeared in front of him again, his mind went blank. He thought he would never find her again The person in his life came back, and he thought he might never see the person again in this life, and he saw it again.

But the moment he saw the other party, Mu Nan's heart throbbed. The grown-up Qin Huai was no longer what he remembered. This strange appearance told him that no matter how close they were, the missing Those years are lost after all.

Looking at the dazed man standing at the door, Qin Huai pursed his lips slightly, his heart aching uncontrollably. His Nan Nan, the person he misses day and night, has become estranged from him because of these years of separation.

Looking greedily at Mu Nan, Qin Huai's voice trembled slightly: "Now, I'm not even allowed to enter the house?"

After regaining consciousness, Mu Nan took a step back, hid her trembling hands behind her back, and made way for Qin Huai.

Qin Huai closed the iron gate, and couldn't help but want to reach out and rub his head to comfort him like he did when he was a child. When he just raised his hand and saw the clothes on his body, Qin Huai stepped back and put them down. He just came back from the outside. Knowing whether he has the virus, seeing Mu Nan bowed his head in silence, Qin Huai said in a slightly shivering voice, "I'm coming back this time, and I will never leave again."

Mu Nan didn't say a word. He didn't know how to face Qin Huai now. When he couldn't find Qin Huai, he tried desperately to find him. Now that Qin Huai came back, the strangeness brought by the time and the two lives was not the same. It can be erased so easily, so apart from being silent, he doesn't know what to say.

Seeing that Mu Nan didn't speak, Qin Huai was a little sad and at a loss. When he left, Nan Nan hated him so decisively. He left Nan Nan alone, and it was right for Nan Nan to resent him in his heart. They were all silent for a while, before Qin Huai pretended to smile casually: "I'll take a shower first, I'm a little dirty when I come back from outside." He looked at Mu Nan, with some tentative temptations: " I'll come to see you after I take a shower."

Only then did Mu Nan say: "Your bathroom hasn't been used in years." Then she turned and went back to her home, but the door was not closed.

Qin Huai smiled, and followed Mu Nan into the door.

As soon as he entered the door, the furnishings in the house were different from what he remembered. There was even a bed in the living room. The balcony where they used to sit with their legs dangling across the railing to watch the scenery was also closed. Time has changed a lot after all. .

Qin Huai put down his bag and took off his shoes at the door.

Mu Nan opened the shoe cabinet and brought him a pair of slippers that fit Qinhuai's size.

Qin Huai changed his shoes, picked up his bag and walked to the bathroom, asking, "Do you have any bigger clothes at home? The clothes I brought got dirty along the way."

Mu Nan didn't say anything, but walked towards the balcony where the wardrobe was installed.

Qin Huai walked into the bathroom familiarly, first threw the dirty clothes in the bag into the washing machine, then took off his own clothes and threw them in, and then went into the shower to take a shower.

Mu Nan prepared a lot of clothes, because he hadn't seen Qin Huai for many years, and he didn't know whether he was fat or thin when he bought the clothes, but he felt that Qin Huai should be strong. When he was in junior high school, Qin Huai When he was in high school, Qin Huai's physique was tall and strong in the class, so when he bought clothes before, he bought a lot of large sizes. Now he looks thinner than expected, but the clothes should be suitable.

After putting the new clothes for Qin Huai in the outer room of the bathroom, Mu Nan went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles. Now that all means of transportation are closed, private cars cannot go on the road without a pass, and I don't know how Qin Huai came back. If it wasn't for the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Mu Nan wouldn't have believed that Qin Huai really came back. Listening to the constant sound of water coming from the bathroom, Mu Nan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, inexplicably unreal.

After Qin Huai took a shower, as soon as he came out, he saw a bowl of noodles on the small table next to the bed, while Mu Nan was sitting on the other side of the bed looking down at his phone. Qin Huai sat over and looked at the noodles in the bowl, his eyes were a little sour. Although Mu Nan's parents passed away early, she has been living with him, not to mention the following, and she doesn't even know how to cook.

Now, Mu Nan grew up alone in a life he never participated in.
