Chapter 1714 Virus Spread
Xi Musheng glanced at the child. The child had lost consciousness and his face was abnormally red. There was something wrong at first glance.
In the end, Xi Musheng didn't make up his mind. He looked back at Ripple and whispered:
"Sister, we take them to the rest stop, and the rest is up to them."
"Okay, you have the final say."
Ripple will not interfere in his brother's decision.
Xi Musheng remained vigilant and turned to the three of them and said:
"I can only take you to the rest stop not far ahead, and you will have to figure out the rest by yourself."
"Okay, okay, no problem, as long as we can get to a place with people."
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Then Xi Musheng let the three people get into the car. Lianyi shook her head silently. The child still experienced too few things. With a sweep of consciousness, she put all the supplies stuffed in the RV into her backpack, and then turned around. He said to his cheap brother:
"Mu Sheng, you keep driving, I'll check on the child."
"Okay, sister!"
Xi Musheng already regretted his decision at this time. They had a lot of supplies stored in their car. If these two people talked nonsense with others, they would be in trouble.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, everything in the RV was gone. He turned to look at his sister.
Ripple just patted the backpack lightly, and he understood, then started the car and continued moving forward.
"Thank you for your willingness to help!"
The woman thanked Ripple gratefully.
Lianyi just nodded, then handed the couple a bottle of mineral water each, and then said:
"I have studied Chinese medicine and can help check on the child's condition."
"Oh! Okay, okay! Thank you so much."
The man was not in a hurry to drink water. After listening to Ripple's words, he immediately took the child from his wife's back, placed it across his lap, and looked at Ripple nervously.
Ripple first touched the little boy's face. The temperature was indeed very high. He could confirm that the child had a high fever without using a thermometer.
Then she touched the boy's carotid artery. His pulse beat too fast, as if he had just finished a strenuous exercise, and the veins on his neck appeared.
Finally, she felt the boy's pulse, and at the same time, she detected a ray of consciousness and entered the child's internal organs and tendons. After some inspection, she could only shake her head helplessly.
The woman looked at the ripples and shook her head. Her heart immediately started to pound. She asked in a hoarse voice:
"Benefactor, how is our little treasure?"
"I'm sorry, your child's condition is not very good. His organs are severely damaged. He seems to be infected with some kind of virus, which is destroying his immune system. The high fever now is the body's final resistance. If..."
"What happens if you can't resist?"
The man hugged the child tightly and asked anxiously.
"Will die."
Although it was cruel, Lianyi still told the truth.
"How could it be like this? We didn't touch anything! We also avoided the falling meteorite. Why did it become like this?"
The woman couldn't accept this reality and murmured to herself.
Lianyi sat aside, keeping a certain distance from the family of three, and then said:
"You stopped the car on the way, where is your own car? You can't be walking on the road!"
"We were a family of three driving back to Liushi to visit the elderly. On the way, my little baby got carsick, so I parked the car on the side of the road. My wife held the baby and vomited under a tree nearby. At this moment, we noticed that the sky was falling. thing.
Then I watched helplessly as our car was smashed into scrap metal by a fireball. I was so frightened that I pulled them and ran away.
We stopped only when we were sure that nothing was falling down. I was about to call the police, but there was no signal on the mobile phone. All our things were in the car, so we could only walk along the highway in the direction of Liushi.
After walking for just half an hour, Xiaobao started to cry out in pain and said he felt uncomfortable, and then he started to have a fever. He eventually lost consciousness because of the fever. We were afraid that something might happen to Xiaobao, so we stopped the car and called for help. "
After listening to the man's story, Lianyi asked:
"You said the meteorite destroyed your car. How far were you from the meteorite at that time?"
"It was less than fifty meters away. I was going to the car to get a bottle of water for my child to rinse his mouth."
the man replied.
Ripple was now sure that the unknown virus carried by the meteorite was contaminated by the man. The man ran away with the child in his arms, and after coming into contact with the child, he transferred the virus to the child.
Children's immune systems are relatively fragile, so they react within a short period of time.
The couple's nerves had been tense because of their previous encounters, and they had no time to think about the reason for the child's condition. Now after listening to Ripple's inquiry, they seemed to realize something.
"Benefactor, you mean there is something wrong with that meteorite."
The woman responded quickly and asked with tears in her eyes.
"I just have suspicions and can't give you a definite conclusion."
"But...but the child is far away from the meteorite"
The man hugged the child tightly and said. Afterwards, he seemed to realize something and looked up at Ripple.
Ripple nodded, indicating that his guess was correct.
"Then what should we do now? Are we going to watch Xiaobao getting weaker and weaker?"
the woman asked, grabbing her husband's arm.
"Go to the rest stop first. You may be able to wait there for rescue. If not, there is also a medical clinic at the rest stop, which should be able to temporarily control the child's condition."
Ripple reassured.
The woman nodded in panic as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and thanked Lianyi again.
"Thank you, I know you have taken a great risk by letting us get on the bus. After we get off, you'd better disinfect the bus."
The man held the child and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Okay."
Lianyi nodded to indicate that he would accept the other party's opinion.
Then the carriage fell into silence. The couple focused their attention on the child, while Lianyi recalled the memory of the original body.
Three days after the meteorite fell, the virus carried by the meteorite began to spread on a large scale, and many people showed the same symptoms as Xiaobao.
After people with good physical fitness survived, their physical fitness made a qualitative leap, and people with poor physical fitness eventually became living dead, with only the instinct of devouring left, just like zombies.
It's just that these living dead have a high probability of regaining consciousness after devouring evolved people to make up for their genetic defects, but there are a few people who have successfully evolved and are willing to be devoured, so these living dead are the hunting targets of people after the first round of evolution.
The appearance of the living dead is accompanied by frequent natural disasters, because when meteorites hit the planet, they destroyed the planet's protective film, causing global climate changes, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and tornadoes.
The occurrence of natural disasters also led to nuclear leaks, which made the situation even worse. Half of the world's people and creatures died in natural disasters.
After the natural disasters subsided, the climax of global evolution came, and existing creatures began to evolve. In order to better adapt to the current living environment, all creatures evolved in a strange direction.
