Survival [End Times]

Before setting off, Yu Heng and Lin Rongbiao discussed and planned the route, so they left through the back door of the villa area and only drove southwestward.

The road conditions were not particularly bad and, happily, there were no bugs on the road.

As the car whizzed by, Yu Heng glanced at both sides from the corner of his eye. Although there were no bugs moving on the road, bugs could be seen in the buildings on both sides. They are like the best acrobats or martial arts masters, clawing at the wall with their bare hands. When they see them, they climb down again and catch up to the road.

Lin Shuangfeng had been sitting in the passenger seat, helping to keep an eye on the front, rear, left and right.

"Fortunately, there aren't many bugs on the road."

"Yes." If there are no living things on the road, the insects will not come, which makes Yu Heng relax a little.

And currently, it seems that this journey is not that difficult. After the insect disaster, the government warned people not to go out at will, so there were not many abandoned vehicles and other things on the road, so you could go around them.

However, Yu Heng discovered a strange phenomenon. He often saw people walking alone along the way. They looked very similar to Mrs. Chen who crashed into the villa, and they were swaying.

But he didn't get out of the car to check, he just crossed over.

The family worked hard without stopping except for necessary rest and reorganization along the way. By 4:30 in the afternoon, they had entered Hua City.

Although Lin Rongbiao said before that it can be reached in five hours' drive, there are always detours or bugs to avoid on the way. This afternoon they passed a high-speed toll station, which turned out to be a nest of insects. A large number of them rushed towards them. They were so frightened that they immediately turned back and took a detour, and were chased for two miles.

After going back and forth, I wasted more time.

When he entered Hua City, Yu Heng found that there were obviously very few insect activities here. When he opened a window crack, a very pungent and disgusting smell entered his nose.

The closer we get to Chenyun Township, the stronger the smell becomes.

Yu Heng and others began to wear masks. On the road, they could still see other victims vomiting with their car windows open, or throwing out bags of vomit.

Lin Shuangfeng felt like vomiting, so she quickly threw another plum into her mouth.

"The smell is too bad." She muttered again, "I don't know if your grandma can bear it. She gets carsick."

"Aunt Zhou is here, don't worry."

Ten miles away from Chenyun Township, Yu Heng saw the national flag hanging high. As he drove further, he saw a column of military trucks stuck there as a roadblock.

"arrive!"

When they finally arrived, Yu Heng turned the steering wheel and parked the car behind the queue. He got out of the car and observed the surrounding situation first. There seemed to be five military trucks, and a dozen tents scattered nearby, with doctors and nurses appearing.

"How long will the queue last?" Lin Rongbiao also got out of the car and looked around, "It's going to be dark."

"But I haven't seen any bugs around here, so it should be relatively safe. Dad, let's go back to the car and wait. Send a signal if anything happens."

"Okay!"

The sky quickly darkened, and only the light of car lights remained in this open space, winding into the distance. At this point in time, Yu Heng and his family were already in the middle and front of the queue. After they arrived here, many more vehicles came one after another.

The little Zhou Ping had not seen so many people for a long time. He lay by the window and stared outside with great interest.

That night, no one dared to sleep, and the team moved forward slowly. Yu Heng went to the front to check out the situation. Those tents were used for physical examinations. It was said that this was the first roadblock, and there was another one ahead.

He was quite used to this process and went out of his way to comfort Lin Shuangfeng, who was a little uneasy.

"We are already here. Those who come in early and come in late, don't worry about this little time. Our whole family is together, and there are patrols, so what are you worried about?"

This straightforward chicken soup is of great use at this time. Lin Shuangfeng, who was a little uneasy about waiting, was comforted: "Yes, you are right." He took a few more glances at the soldiers patrolling with guns to gain courage.

In the later period, they mostly hid in sturdy villas. It was inevitable that they would feel uneasy when they were suddenly exposed to the bare surroundings.

At one o'clock in the evening, the Lin family's car finally moved to the front.

"Please get out of the car and come here to undergo a physical examination. Your vehicle and luggage also need to be initially disinfected. Please accept your cooperation."

Yu Heng and Lin Shuangfeng got out of the car empty-handed, and were led to the tent for inspection along with Lin Rongbiao and others behind them.

The inspection car also drew blood. While waiting, the group of them was led to the tent next door to wait.

There are already many people sitting here, all waiting for the results.

One of the men caught Yu Heng's attention. His face looked very ugly in the bright light in the tent. His face was gray and his lips were white. He covered his stomach with his hands. After a while, he reached out to scratch his thighs and back.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

"I feel uncomfortable all over."

There are also staff in the tent, soldiers with guns and weapons. Two of the soldiers noticed something was wrong with the man immediately and took him away immediately.

"What's wrong? Why did you take my husband away?"

The man's wife gave chase and was stopped.

"This is a routine quarantine, please cooperate with our work."

"Aren't we in isolation now? Why do we need to isolate my husband alone? He is not feeling well. We need to call a doctor first!"

"Madam, please calm down. It is because your husband is not feeling well that he needs special isolation. Don't worry, our work is formal and scientific. We will notify you immediately if there is any news."

The woman calmed down and apologized to the soldier: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious, I'm really sorry."

She turned around and picked up the child who was looking at her eagerly, and sat down again.

Yu Heng remembered the man's face just now, and felt something in her heart. She turned around and asked the soldier next to her who was carefully watching the people waiting for the result in the tent: "I saw some people walking around on the road. The insects didn't attack them if they didn't speak. Do you know why?"

The soldier's eyes were obviously stern: "Where did you see them?"

Yu Heng said two places, and Lin Rongbiao added three.

"We met them during the day, and now I don't know where they are."

"Thank you very much!" The soldier turned around and left immediately, leaving the others confused.

There was only one soldier left in the tent. Seeing everyone's confusion, he said in a deep voice: "Those people are no longer alive. Their bodies are invaded by insect eggs, which serve as a breeding ground for the next generation of insects. We call them insect nests. If you encounter such weird people, don't get close!"

There were exclamations in the tent!

"I've encountered this before, too. We stopped the car on the road, but my dad said it looked weird, so we didn't stop!"

"Really?"

The soldier said: "When you enter the shelter, someone will tell you about this problem and let you learn how to prevent it. Please stay calm and don't disturb others."

So the voices in the tent weakened, but the news was so shocking that the discussion never stopped.

The lady's expression just now became more and more ugly, and she couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Then my husband... is he, is he okay?"

"I will notify you immediately if there is any situation, please be patient."

"Can I go and see?"

"Sorry, according to the regulations."

The woman returned to her seat, tears kept falling.

"Is her husband a bug--"

"Shh! Stop talking."

After that, the test results came out one after another, some people left the tent, and new people came in, so this topic was suppressed.

Soon, Yu Heng and the others' test results came out, and they were led to the backstage.

"Here are your cars and luggage. Just follow this road. There will be relevant check-in registration when you get there. It's not convenient at night. Please control your speed and drive safely."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

The two cars were indeed disinfected. There was a smell. The supplies in the car showed signs of being checked. It was not clear whether they were missing for the time being, but this was not important. The important thing was that they could finally enter the second roadblock and were closer to the shelter!

Without stopping, Yu Heng and Lin Rongbiao continued to drive inside. There was simple lighting every fifty meters along the road. After reaching the second roadblock, they checked in. After the staff received their inspection reports and material security inspection reports, they issued temporary check-in permits for them.

"Where should we park our car?"

"There is a parking area inside. Just follow the instructions after entering."

"What about our stuff?"

"You need to take care of it yourself. Take in all the patrolmen. If you have any questions, you can ask the patrolmen for help."

After asking this, Yu Heng thanked him and asked another question: "If we donate some supplies, can we get a larger room for five people?"

He had learned that they were assigned to the big hall as usual, the kind where people lived together without separation.

The staff looked up at him and said, "I need to report your request to the higher authorities. You can go park first and let the team behind register first."

"Okay, thank you."

After consulting, Yu Heng got in the car and drove it to the designated place.

The parking area is actually just a piece of open space. After they parked the car, Lin Shuangfeng said, "It's not good to move all our stuff in, right?"

"Yeah." Lin Rongbiao also felt that it was not good. Don't show off your wealth. It's not reliable to move so many things in and live with others.

"Dad, I just asked the staff something. Can you tell me if it's right?"

Lin Rongbiao clapped his hands and said, "You are worthy of being my son! This is a good idea!"

Yu Heng smiled embarrassedly, "Dad, just don't blame me for making my own decision."

"Why blame you? My son is more capable than me. I am so happy. You have grown up. Sometimes you think longer than your dad. Just do it with confidence! Dad supports you!"

Yu Heng once again tested Lin Rongbiao's bottom line. As a father, Lin Rongbiao supports his son's change. No matter how he makes his own decisions, this is his own son. He thinks the best of his son.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Dad, you go find a place to rest first. I'll wait here to see what the staff say."

"Okay, I'll pick you up after you settle your grandma and the others."

Yu Heng laughed, "Okay."

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the staff came over. The leader was the lady at the registration office. She conveyed the meaning of her superiors, saying that she could accept Yu Heng's donation and her request for a separate residence.

"One third of the supplies."

"Okay."

After confirming Yu Heng's cooperation intention again, a truck drove over and the staff helped to move the supplies in the two Lin family cars.

This attracted a lot of attention, and the people who parked their cars couldn't help but stare.

"Please follow us."

Yu Heng locked the car and followed the truck out of the parking lot.

"This is our staff dormitory area. Your family lives on the third floor." The staff took Yu Heng upstairs to familiarize himself with the route: "Here are the keys. I have registered for you. You can come and go as you please, but you must abide by the stricter management rules here. Can you accept that?"

"Sure."

So Yu Heng waited for the staff to sort the supplies and finally delivered half of the supplies to the room.

In fact, no matter how crowded and stacked the two cars of the Lin family were, and even a few bags of rice were tied on the roof, the quantity would not be large. Dividing it into one third would be a drop in the bucket for the shelter.

The shelter saw the practical significance of Yu Heng's first donation of supplies, which opened up a way of thinking for them and gave them a trace for some of their future work.

So Yu Heng was able to successfully exchange for a large room.

This trial achieved good results and gave Yu Heng some preliminary understanding of the management of the shelter.

After getting the key, he left. When he arrived at the parking lot, he saw Lin Rongbiao waiting for him.

"How is it? Did it go smoothly?"

"Yes, here are the keys."

Lin Rongbiao waved his hand: "Just keep it." He whispered to Yu Heng: "Fortunately, we put those things away first, otherwise they would have been discovered." He was talking about guns and ammunition.

Yu Heng smiled: "Yes, it's a good thing that Dad thought of this problem in time."

"Hey, it's a piece of cake. It's a good thing for us. For..., you must ask where we got it. Let's go in. Your grandma has been talking about you."
