News of the cold wave spread quickly among the upper levels.
In order not to cause panic, residents were notified that a snowstorm was coming.
This stopped all outbound missions.
All the people in the entire shelter could only stay in the shelter as quietly as gophers when the cold wave hit.
However, Fan Shiwei and others still underestimated the impact of this cold wave.
In such a world, everyone will become extremely sensitive to all changes around them.
At the beginning, everyone thought it was just a short snowstorm. Although they were a little uneasy, they still had hope in their hearts.
But, as time goes by.
A week has passed and the snowstorm is still raging with no intention of stopping.
Not only that, under the judgment of Hong Yuanjun and others, the snowstorm actually continued to intensify!
This cold current seems to freeze the entire Blue Star!
During the week, the shelter has been cooling down frequently.
The environment that could originally maintain 3 to 6 degrees has dropped to 0 to 2 degrees under the raging cold wave.
The subway entrance on the upper level of the shelter can no longer station guards, and all guards have retreated to the shelter.
Due to the drop in temperature, various fevers and colds suddenly broke out in the shelter.
Originally, it was just a common cold and fever. As long as ventilation and precautions are taken, it can be cured without medicine.
But Murphy's Law tells people that in many cases, difficulties will not change because they are pitiful, but will only become worse because you are unable to change them.
In a shelter hundreds of meters below, even if you want to provide sanitation and ventilation, it is beyond your ability.
Therefore, a hidden flu began to break out in a small area. By the time medical staff discovered it, the flu had begun to get slightly out of control.
Even though the medical staff have done everything they can, their efforts have no effect at all in this natural and man-made disaster.
This is also the drawback of large shelters.
There are too many people, and once hygiene or prevention measures are not in place, once an outbreak occurs, it will be a mass incident.
The medical wards are full, and more people can only lie down at home.
And because most people live in a collective dormitory, the virus spread from one to ten and then to a hundred. In an instant, the number of infected people in the entire shelter reached 700 or 800.
In order to curb the infection, the headquarters had to designate residential areas 1 to 3 as infection areas and move all infected people to the infection areas.
This is used to try to isolate the infection.
However, this approach makes the patients in the isolation area feel a sense of abandonment.
Suddenly, the hearts of the residents below surged.
Those patients who have family members have been hidden by their families through various means.
But the shelter is so big, where can they hide?
The patients who were found were forcibly moved to the isolation area by soldiers while their family members cursed or cried.
Among these, medical staff, as direct contacts, have the highest probability of being infected, and Tan Wanjun, as expected, was also infected.
In Tan Wanjun's dormitory.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."
Tan Wanjun was lying on the bed, with an unnatural blush on her face and white lips, shivering and huddled under the quilt.
She had anticipated that she would be infected.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Now that she has been infected, even though she can tell that she actually just has a fever, under such circumstances, it can be said that it is basically a matter of time before she is infected with the flu.
She knew that someone would soon move her to a quarantine area.
The rooms in the isolation area have been renovated, and a partition has been erected in the middle of each bed.
From the outside, it looks like a coffin.
Maybe, I will die in this coffin too.
Tan Wanjun thought in her mind.
Unexpectedly, after struggling for so long, I still couldn't get rid of this fate.
Hey, what is supposed to come will always come, damn it, you can’t survive.
It was already cold outside, and she had a constitution that was very susceptible to cold. Even though she was covered with two layers of quilts, she was still so cold that she couldn't stop shivering under the quilt.
Hands and feet are cold.
She had a cold and a low fever, which made her brain feel a little dizzy.
She started to hallucinate.
She was as confused as if she was dreaming, dreaming that she was back before the end.
I had a fever, but suddenly my mother came to me.
Mother...
A sweet and reassuring smile appeared on Tan Wanjun's face.
The appearance of her mother made Tan Wanjun instantly feel an unprecedented sense of security, but along with it was a sense of grievance welling up from the bottom of her heart.
She didn't know what she was wronged about, but she felt as if she had suffered a lot.
My mouth is bitter, my body hurts, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
She stretched out her hands and hugged her mother's neck that was exposed when she lowered her head.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her hands had become smaller and her body had become smaller.
I felt like I was back when I was a child. My mother picked me up lightly, like a princess. My body was whistling, but I looked at my mother's face that was a little blurry, but I was very happy.
She seemed to treat herself as a child. She held her mother's hand and pressed gently, burying her head in her neck, feeling her mother's body temperature and protection. At this moment, Tan Wanjun smiled extremely sweetly...
.
When Tan Wanjun woke up again, what she saw when she opened her eyes was a strange room.
Are you in quarantine?
She was in a daze, and just about to speak, she found that her mouth was so dry that she could only open her mouth, but could not make a sound.
But soon, she saw Fang Yu handing over a bowl of warm water.
He gently lifted her up from the bed and put the warm water to her lips.
The moment she came into contact with the water, Tan Wanjun temporarily forgot all this, and her thirst for water suppressed all thoughts.
She couldn't wait to take a big gulp of water, but just when she opened her mouth to drink, the bowl was taken away from her mouth again.
Hey! Hey! Hey!!!
Tan Wanjun looked at the leaving bowl, but she could only let out a sigh in her heart.
But then, she heard Fang Yu say.
"Slow down, or I won't give you a drink!"
Tan Wanjun's eyes almost rolled back in anger!
However, the water was on his hand and he had to bow his head.
In addition, it was true that they were doing it for her own good, so Tan Wanjun could only nod her head with a low eyebrow.
After drinking a bowl of warm water slowly, Tan Wanjun felt that she was finally alive.
She looked at everything around her and was about to speak, but Fang Yu put her hand on her mouth.
Fang Yu told her the current situation in a low voice.
It turned out that Fang Yu had been silently paying attention to Tan Wanjun and Wu Wen when the flu broke out.
Fortunately for Wu Wen, after all, Fang Yu gained his Iron Stomach skills from other people. It seems that he is in good physical condition and successfully survived the first wave of influenza outbreak.
Tan Wanjun was not so lucky, and her physical condition was not very good. She was directly hit in the first wave.
Although the current approach of the shelter is actually correct. Although such isolation will cause the death of most patients, it can at least save most people.
Fang Yu was obviously not willing to let Tan Wanjun fend for herself like this.
No matter what, Tan Wanjun is a teammate with whom he has a bond.
Fang Yu can give up on others, but she can't give up on Tan Wanjun and Wu Wen.
Therefore, after discussing with Wu Wen, Fang Yu quietly carried Tan Wanjun to the subway track outside the shelter.
This is the only way to avoid the search of the shelter.
And, although it’s cold here too.
But compared to the surface outside, the temperature here at this time is equivalent to the surface temperature before the cold wave hits.
As long as you light a fire normally and keep warm, you can actually survive.
It's just that the people in the shelter have long been accustomed to underground life.
Not many people can realize this.
Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't any. At least, when Fang Yu came up, she saw that someone had already occupied part of the carriage.
Fortunately, Fang Yu had quick eyes and quick hands and chose a subway train close to the innermost wall.
Block both ends of a carriage with debris.
After the surroundings were slightly covered with simple quilts, a layer of quilts was spread on the ground, and the carriage door was blocked with wooden boards to allow for a certain amount of ventilation.
In this way, a simple little iron house was built.
