MTL - Evolved From Polluting the World-Chapter 10 lockdown
Qiao Xun opened the owner group, and sure enough, there was already a quarrel in the group.
He knew very well that the city hall was lying.
A city's water supply is divided into zones, and a problem with a water purification center in a certain area will not affect other areas.
This city-wide water cutoff can only illustrate one problem—
The water source is polluted.
The water source of Zhidong City is the Zhanbai River.
He immediately thought of the piece of source metal that Qin Lin caught by fishing. Looking at Zhou Sibai's serious appearance before... Could it be that the source metal entered Zhan Baijiang?
Citizens of Zhidong City began to go out to **** the mineral water in canteens, convenience stores, and supermarkets.
So much so that at seven o'clock in the evening, the streets were overcrowded with people holding water everywhere.
And the people who live in Qiaoxun Community are sad because he bought more than half of the water in the nearest supermarket. They had to go further afield to buy.
If this notice about water pollution is just for everyone to actively grab water, then the notice that follows is completely frying—
"Urgent notice! There is a vicious infectious disease in our city, and the emergency response center has decided: from 20:00 on October 14, 2035, the city's urban bus, subway, ferry, and long-distance passenger transportation will be suspended in Zhidong; no special reason, citizens should not leave. In Zhidong City, airports, railway stations, and highways are temporarily closed. The recovery time will be announced separately! Citizens are requested to take the initiative to isolate themselves at home and do not go out! Living resources will be fully dispatched by relevant departments.”
Emergency treatment center...
Qiao Xun remembered that Zhou Sibai's obvious identity was a member of the emergency response center.
"Sure enough, the pollution disease spread."
Looking at the house full of living resources, Qiao Xun heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he went to the supermarket to stock up today, otherwise the city would be closed, and those items purchased online could not be shipped in, so he would just go to the supermarket to grab the goods from others.
Turning on the phone and entering a forum casually, netizens were frantically discussing the sudden closure of Zhidong City.
#zhidong city is closed#
#zhidong city water cut off#
#zhidong city what happened? #
Such a topic has occupied several hot searches in a row, and everyone discussed it in full swing.
Various conspiracy theories abound. There are also those who pray for blessings, and there are those who ask whether Winter City wants resources...
After watching it for a while, Qiao Xun stopped watching. Ordinary people are generally kept in the dark and cannot get key information from them.
Looking down from the balcony, the horns were blaring non-stop, many people were driving their cars to buy things, and the sidewalks were also crowded. The police, army, urban management and other parties are dispatched to maintain order.
Panic began to brew.
Qiao Xun knew that things were far more than that simple.
It's really an ordinary infectious disease, and that's it, but this is not an ordinary infectious disease. He could imagine how vulnerable ordinary people are when faced with a polluted creature.
After that, I connected a lot of phone calls and got back a lot of messages, all of which were the concerns of some friends.
No family.
Thinking about something far away, the phone rang again.
Yu Xiaoshu called.
"Hey Xiaoshu, what's wrong?"
"Doctor Qiao, has the city closed to inform you to see it?"
"Um."
Yu Xiaoshu's voice was panting.
"It took a lot of effort for me to grab some water and convenience food from the supermarket. Doctor Qiao, do you have any shortages? If there are shortages, I will send some over tomorrow."
Qiao Xun was very moved. In this situation, his little assistant was still thinking about himself. He smiled and said:
"I don't lack it here. I have more. If you lack it, you can find me."
"That's good, that's good. The water cutoff and city closure were too sudden. I didn't expect it. The clinic also notified them that they would suspend work and change to online work."
"Ok, I know."
"By the way, Dr. Qiao, I went to ask the uncle who sold my eye drops in the afternoon. He said that it was actually a bottle of ordinary eye drops. Hehe, he said that I was psychological."
Qiao Xun frowned slightly. Psychological effect?
He can be sure that the so-called uncle selling medicine is lying, but he doesn't know the specific purpose. After thinking about it, he still said:
"Little book, to be on the safe side, don't use that eyedrop."
"Well, I'll listen to you."
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xiaoshu was a little shy, saying "I listen to you" directly seemed to have a very intimate feeling.
Qiao Xun was silent for a while, then asked:
"Do you live alone or with someone?"
"Living alone."
"Then you pay attention, don't go out casually during this time, and ... close the doors and windows, and don't open the door casually for others."
"Ah, why?"
"Think about it, how unsafe you are at this time, a little girl."
"The police will protect us."
Qiao Xun smiled helplessly. Yes, in general, the police can protect you, but this is not an ordinary thing.
"It's better to be careful. If something goes wrong, it will be bad."
"Okay, so are you."
"Call me if you have anything."
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up, Qiao Xun ate something casually, then closed the doors and windows and lay on the bed.
It was noisy outside. His hearing was much sharper, and it was even more noisy in his ears.
It wasn't until midnight, when the outside stopped, that I gradually felt sleepy.
But this drowsiness disappeared suddenly after a loud bang.
He sat up from the bed.
Is that... the sound of gunshots?
Come to the balcony, open the window a little and look outside. I saw that in an alley in the distance, three people were doing something to an unknown object lying on the ground. His eyesight has improved a lot, and he can see more clearly. Those three people should be from a special department, uniformly dressed, and the ground... a pool, like a large frog with human legs.
Pollutants?
In the second half of the night, there were constant gunshots nearby.
This was naturally heard by ordinary citizens, and they went online and made municipal calls to ask what was going on. The official explanation was that "a group of local drug dealers and criminals are making trouble while the city is closed." , Do not go out at will, living materials will be delivered to the door by official personnel.
At 8:00 am the next day, as the official said, the official staff came to the door to deliver daily necessities.
A convenience food, four liters of water, and body wipes.
Qiao Xun didn't lack these, but it wasn't too much, so he took them all together.
Soon, the city government arranged for staff to go door-to-door for testing. They said they were checking for infectious diseases, but they were actually measuring the pollution value. Judging from the online discussions, there are indeed people who have been contaminated. After they were tested for metal disease, they were taken away as soon as possible. It is said that it is isolation treatment, but who is accurate.
With a combined evolution rate of 1.5%... Qiao Xun probably knew that those who were taken away would most likely be leaving the world. And their families are still in the dark.
This situation made Qiao Xun have to think, is it necessary to block the information, can it really be concealed?
Or do the officials have other considerations?
At noon, an APP was launched, with very simple functions, one for "help" and one for "demand".
It is also easy to understand that asking for help means that in an emergency situation, you can directly ask the official personnel for help through this APP. The demand is that each household can enter the materials needed by the family into it. Reasonable demand will be delivered within two days.
This APP does not need to use the Internet. If you don't have a mobile phone, you can also write down your needs on paper and paste it on the door, and the delivery staff will take them away after delivering the materials.
Some people deliver supplies, and some people come to collect garbage.
Everything seems to be explaining that the current is a very ideal isolation environment, and there is only one thing left to directly pay each family to each household.
But the problem that everyone is most concerned about has not been solved for a long time.
What is an infectious disease? What happens to people who are sick? What is the route of transmission?
These key issues are officially kept silent, that is, they do not speak.
Thinking about it, Qiao Xun analyzed it. At present, the pollution disease should be in the stage of spreading, which is the best stage to control. At this time, the most important need for ordinary citizens is to cooperate with obedience, and not to mess around. If ordinary citizens really know, the infectious disease that appears this time is like a "zombie crisis". If it is even more serious, you will definitely fall into panic, desperately trying to escape the city.
In that case, it will obviously have a great impact on the control work.
Therefore, it is inevitable to try to block information.
I just don't know whether this pollution incident can be controlled or not.
"tower…"
Qiao Xun remembers that the organization that manages metal diseases, polluting organisms, evolutionaries and pollution incidents is called "Tower".
Why is it such a name instead of a clear one like "Metal Disease Prevention and Control Center"?
Is Zhidong City's vigorous and resolute prevention and control measures also instructed by the "tower"?
Qiao Xun looked at the communication watch Zhou Sibai gave him, and wondered if he should ask Zhou Sibai.
After thinking about it, he still didn't do that. Like Zhou Sibai should be very busy now.
For the next two days, whether it was day or night, the streets outside were empty. During the day, the city is very quiet, but at night, gunshots can be heard from time to time.
Qiao Xun guessed that it might be because the current polluting creatures only act at night.
On the fourth day after the city was locked down, Yu Xiaoshu sent him a video on the chat platform.
When I clicked on it, I saw that the shooting angle of the video was the angle of the monitor, and the time display was 23:00 on October 17, which was last night.
In the video, a man with a hugely swollen head was crawling on the ground and squirming forward. His hands and feet were severely shrunk, and they were tightly attached to his sides. There was a string of wet marks behind him that looked like thick mucus. He was also wet, his whole body was wet.
Like a fish struggling on the shore.
Soon, three people in military uniforms appeared on the screen, and one of them fired a shot at the monster's head. Immediately, blood spurted out, and the fish-shaped monster kept rolling on the ground. There is no sound in the video, but you can feel him screaming badly from his wide open mouth.
The video ends with a flicker of snowflakes from an old TV with no signal.
Exiting the video, I saw Yu Xiaoshu's news at first glance:
"It's scary! It's true and false. I've eaten hot pot in that place in the video before."
"It doesn't look like P's."
Qiao Xun felt that this should be true. Most people would not associate this infectious disease with this kind of deformed monster.
"I heard that it will become like this when you have an infectious disease."
Qiao Xun reminded again:
"So, you have to pay more attention to safety and don't run around."
"Hey, I got it."
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xiaoshu shrunk under the covers, rubbing his eyes and smirking. She doesn't know why recently, her eyes have been itchy, maybe it's because she eats less vegetables.
Qiao Xun planned to watch the video again, but this time, the words "The video is risky and cannot be watched" popped up.
was blocked.
He opened the well-known social platform software again. The hot searches on it were normal, and there were no keywords such as "monster" and "opposite sex". People in other places are still praying for Zhidong City, and there is nothing unusual in the local circle of Zhidong City.
It seems that the relevant departments have handled it very cleanly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
At night, the darkness of night was low and low pressure over the city. No need to go out to work, go to school, or go out to play. Most people's nightlife is just lying in bed and playing with their mobile phones.
Before going to bed, Qiao Xun went to the bathroom to go to the toilet.
The waistband of the trousers had just been undone, and he was about to take off his trousers to release it. Looking at the opening of the squatting toilet, he silently tightened the waistband of his trousers.
When you take off your pants against the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.
A blue-black fleshy object like an octopus tentacle protruded from the hole of the squatting toilet, wrapped in excrement, looking terrible.
Qiao Xun silently took a packet of salt and poured it on it.
Immediately, the tentacle wriggled for half a minute before shrinking back.
Then, Qiao Xun took out his mobile phone and opened the owner group.
The group has already fried the pot—
"Damn it, a tentacle grew out of my toilet!"
"My house too, but it's not a toilet, it's a floor drain."
"I'm in bad luck. I'm pooping, and a sticky thing of TM suddenly entangles Lao Tzu's big baby!"
"I'm even worse. That thing just... went in, did you understand it!"
"Hemorrhoids, burst, understand?"
"Ah, it's still worse for you."
"Use salt, these tentacles are afraid of salt! Chili is also fine, but chili powder must be used!"
"What the **** is this? Haha."
…
Judging from the photos shared by everyone, it is the same tentacle.
Qiao Xun frowned solemnly.
Because, their unit building has a total of 17 floors, and basically starting from the residential building on the third floor, the owners on each floor indicated that the same situation occurred.
this means-
There is a giant polluting creature entrenched in the pipes of this unit building.
