Doomsday Reincarnation

The three of them turned around and ran back.

Entering the small shop and walking to the door of the small room, Qin Yi saw that the old lady's right hand was bitten by her son.

She seemed to have come to feed him and knocked over a lunch box on the ground.

At this time, her son seemed to wake up again, opened his mouth quickly, shrank towards the corner of the wall in horror, clasped his head tightly with both hands, and shouted: "Mom, hurry up, hurry up! Don't go! Come see me again, I beg you!"

When he spoke, his teeth were exposed, and there was a lot of blood on them. And the old lady's mouth is already festering.

It was not only the marks from the teeth, the reason why the wound was so deep was because it had been corroded by his saliva.

The old lady grabbed her injured right hand with her left hand, and although she couldn't see her face, she seemed to be in great pain.

Lian Qing, who was standing next to Qin Yi, said softly: "By the way... will this be contagious?"

No one answered, no one knew.

Hearing his voice, the man huddled in the corner quickly begged: "Please help me, send my mother home, and treat her wounds, okay?"

Wu Huai tilted his head and said, "I think the old lady doesn't want us to help her."

The old lady was sitting on the ground not far from her son. Although the pain was unbearable, she did not intend to get up and leave.

Hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at the three of them, and sighed a long time: "Don't mind your own business, let's go."

"Can you ask a little more," Wu Huai asked, "When did this... disease appear? What did it look like when it got sick?"

The old lady's cloudy eyes showed hostility, and she said coldly, "Are you sent from the hospital?"

Wu Huai shook his head: "No, what does this have to do with the hospital?"

Hearing that she was not from the hospital, she put away her hostility, glanced at her son, and spoke slowly in an old and tired voice.

From her account, Qin Yi and others knew that her son started to have this "disease" five days ago.

At that time, it was only the skin on the back of the hand that changed. She and her son went to the hospital together. While the hospital was waiting for the test results, the changed part increased again.

Due to the rapid growth rate, the hospital did not find out the cause, so he was allowed to stay there for a day for observation.

Who knows, the strange disease covered the entire arm the next day and extended to the body.

At the same time, other people with similar symptoms have also been admitted to the hospital, many of them more serious than this man.

That night, people died in the hospital.

It was a nurse who was bitten to death by a man whose almost whole body had changed, drained his blood, and gnawed off half of his face.

In addition to the tragically killed nurse, several night shift nurses were bitten, but fortunately there was no life-threatening.

When the old lady went to the doctor's office to inquire about her son's condition the next day, she saw several men in regular clothes whispering something in front of the doctors from the hidden door, and the doctors nodded solemnly.

The dean was also present at the time, and the old lady had a bad premonition in her heart, so she put her ear to the door and listened carefully, and vaguely heard a sentence: "If the cure is not good, we can only perform euthanasia in secret. Having said that, it must not cause social panic, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential, you know?"

At that time, the old lady turned around and left, went back to the ward and picked up her son and went out.

Before the order came down, she successfully took her son out of the hospital and hid in her own small shop.

It was on this day that my son developed a tendency to bite.

"I am conscious, I know everything, but I can't control it... I always feel that it will be uncomfortable if I don't eat people!" The man hugged his head tightly and shrank in the corner in pain.

Qin Yi thought about it and asked, "What happened to the nurses who were bitten at that time?"

The old lady looked at her and said, "What can I do, and then help those beasts to do evil! They are doctors, and they don't want to save people, but they want to kill people!"

Wu Huai said: "So, it shouldn't be contagious. It's also possible that the infection is very slow."

"Now I've said everything you want to know, should you go?" the old lady said coldly.

The man begged: "Mom, let's go, let them take you home, don't come to see me again, look at my body... I'm about to completely turn into a man-eating monster!"

The old lady stood up, quickly picked up the pocket on the bed, took out the kitchen knife inside, and shouted at Qin Yi and the others, "Let me go!"

Wu Huai reached out and pulled Qin Yi, signaling Lian Qing to step back.

Qin Yi hesitated, left a packet of hemostatic powder, and told the old lady how to use it.

The three walked out of the store slowly, and Wu Huai said, "We can't control this, forget it."

Qin Yi was silent, feeling very helpless.

They really can't control so much, they don't know what will happen next, how can they control others.

What's more, the old lady has hands and feet. Even if they send people home now, they can still come back. Moreover, for an old mother, her own life and death are probably far less important than being with her beloved son. Taking people away by force is not necessarily helping them.

After a moment of silence, Lian Qing said, "Let's go."

Qin Yi turned his head and glanced at the store, and walked away.

The three walked faster and faster, passed through the thick fog quickly, and finally stopped in front of a pharmacy.

After spending more than ten minutes violently prying open the rolling shutter door, the three of them got inside the door, looked around, made sure there was no one here, then walked into the lounge inside and closed the door.

They moved their stools and sat down, and Wu Huaicai said, "I learned a lot of information from the old lady just now. It takes about six or seven days for her son to mutate completely, and the degree of mutation varies. Her son just started showing symptoms. By then, someone had already started killing people.

In this case, either the mutation speed is different, or the mutation of this world appeared ten days ago. "

Lian Qing nodded and said, "According to what the old lady said, at least on the second day after the death, the injured nurses did not have any mutation. After she was bitten just now, it seemed that she had no other symptoms other than pain."

Qin Yi said: "It's easier to deal with it if it's not contagious."

"However...they are not our mission goals." Lian Qing said, "How to complete our mission, we haven't figured it out until now."

Speaking of this, the three of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.

According to their carry-on records, they have been at this place for more than ten days. This time is counted from the day the proprietress met Qin Yi, and no one knows if there are still forgotten days before that.

In such a long time, no one has thought about what this task is all about.

The temperature in the room with the door closed slowly increased, Qin Yi put down the clothes tightly wrapped around his face, and his breathing suddenly became much smoother.

Wu Huai and Lian Qing also exposed part of their noses, and after taking two breaths, they were so cold that they wrapped them tightly again.

"This place is not bad, it would be even better if there is a heater." Lian Qing said.

Wu Huai said: "We can live here temporarily until we find a way to complete the mission."

Lian Qing was not satisfied: "No, if we wait a few more days, a lot of people will probably die. When there is an empty house, we will go to live in a residential house. If there is no power outage, we might still be able to use the air conditioner. ."

Just thinking about the warm temperature in the room after turning on the air conditioner makes me look forward to it.

Wu Huai poured a pot of cold water and said, "Stop dreaming, at this temperature, I'm afraid the outdoor unit will freeze."

While he was talking, Qin Yi saw a mobile phone in the corner of the table.

She picked it up and tried it, and the screen could still wake up, with forty-three percent of the battery remaining.

What is even more gratifying is that this smartphone only uses sliding to unlock, and does not set a password.

It's been a long time since Qin Yi used his mobile phone, and with his cold red fingers, he unlocked the lock stiffly and rusty. A photo of a smiling couple appeared on the screen.

Wu Huai's head suddenly came closer, and the blond hair almost blocked half of the screen in front of Qin Yi's eyes.

He said: "Turn on the radio function to see, maybe you can hear something useful."

Many mobile phones now have their own radios. Qin Yi rummaged and found the radio program in a desktop folder.

After opening, there is a noise. She changed the channel a few times, and finally heard a little talking.

The voice was intermittent and could not be heard clearly. Wu Huai took the phone, opened the door and walked out.

Qin Yi and Lian Qing also followed, and it wasn't until they reached the door of the pharmacy that the voice inside became clear.

"It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 12th, the temperature is as low as minus 23 degrees, and the water splashed outside has reached the point where it can immediately freeze into ice. Please don't go out casually, close the doors and windows, and keep warm. At the same time, please don't panic,

Don't spread rumors, this is just a rare climate anomaly. According to experts, the climate will improve significantly within three days, and the government will launch post-disaster relief work in three days. Please be patient. It's September 12th..."

After the audio is over, it repeats again and again.

Qin Yi took out the notebook from the storage ring, looked at the records on it, and frowned: "September 12th, today should be the 14th, this is already two days ago."

For two days, the temperature has not risen, but is still falling. The audio of the broadcast station was also the content of two days ago, and it has not been updated since then.

This piece of audio that is playing continuously now is probably just to appease the hearts of the listeners. But in these increasingly cold temperatures, it must have no effect.

Lian Qing said: "The temperature two days ago was minus 23, which is the temperature that may occur in the northern region in winter, and it is still within the tolerable range. But now the temperature... obviously has dropped to an unbearable level. already."

From head to toe, almost only their eyeballs were exposed, and their hands were only stretched out from their sleeves when they had to, but they were still so cold.

The thick clothes on their bodies are useless at all, they can't feel a trace of warmth, it's like their naked bodies are frozen in a huge freezer freezer.

If the temperature drops further, people will freeze to death soon.

After listening to the audio, the three returned to the pharmacy. They found some dismantled cardboard, dismantled some medicines from the medicine rack, and threw the cartons in a cardboard box.

A fire was raised in the box, and the smoke was not as thick as expected, within the acceptable range.

The three of them surrounded the box, and even though their eyes were sore, they didn't want to leave the warm flame.

In fact, it wasn't warm, it just made them feel a little bit in their frozen hands.

When the cardboard boxes outside were also burnt out, and the temperature in the small lounge was slightly higher than outside, Qin Yi was finally able to feel a little temperature in his body.

Taking advantage of this time, she recorded today's situation in her notebook.

Lian Qing also had such a notebook, and Wu Huai also found a half-used notebook in the lounge, with some scribbled handwriting.

The three spent the night here.

Early the next morning, Qin Yi woke up from the pain of frostbite on his fingers.

She sat up in confusion, jumped up after seeing the other two, and the notebook on her body fell to the ground.

There were several large characters written on the cover of the notebook. She picked it up suspiciously and looked at it. Although she couldn't believe it, she still accepted it all.

Only then did she suddenly realize a problem——

According to my own records on the notebook, the temperature outside is already very cold. Why is it that I am not only not feeling cold, but also sweating a little?

She stretched out her hand to wrap the clothes around her head, touched her forehead, and felt a thin layer of sweat.

If it wasn't for the fact that the frostbite on her finger was real, she would almost have thought everything in this notebook was fake.

She thought for a while and woke up the two not far away.

After they read their own records, Qin Yi reminded them about the temperature.

She walked to the door and said, "I want to go out and have a look."

Wu Huai said immediately, "I'll go too."

Even Qing quickly stood up.

In the short time they just woke up, they couldn't trust each other immediately because of a record.

After opening the door and walking out of the pharmacy, Qin Yi was slightly taken aback when he saw everything outside.

The dense fog is still a dense fog that cannot be dispersed.

At a glance, only the floor tiles within two or three meters of the ground can be seen clearly.

This is the same as the record, but... Qin Yi stretched out his unprotected hands and thought strangely, although he felt a little chill, compared to the record, it was the difference between one and one hundred.

Is the record wrong? Or has the temperature really picked up like the audio said?
