Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 278: Diffusion

City hall meeting room.

"At present, the areas where parasitic larvae are found are mainly concentrated in the surrounding areas near Guangming Reservoir, including Changgang Town, Xuxiang Town, and a part of Hongshan Town. The affected population is about 170,000 to 80,000 people. Now these areas are strictly blocked. , the waterways everywhere have been blocked, and supplies, anti-epidemic personnel, and doctors are also in place.

The main problem now is that this parasite is a new type of parasite from another world, and there is no targeted drug yet.

As of morning, the number of deaths that can be counted has exceeded 1,000. The death toll is likely to peak in the next few days. "A deputy mayor said with a heavy face.

Parasites from other worlds have strong vitality. To creatures from other worlds, they may be ordinary parasites like roundworms, but to fragile ordinary humans, they are completely fatal.

Ordinary broad-spectrum parasite insecticides have no effect on it at all. If the toxicity is increased, people may die before the parasites die.

Therefore, every time a new alien parasite appears, new specific narrow-spectrum insecticides will be researched according to its weaknesses.

Since the space channel appeared twenty years ago.

Hundreds of parasite disasters broke out all over the country, and the few that killed more than a dozen people were brought under control, and the most serious one killed tens of thousands of people. However, over the years, almost no news has been heard of , is the credit of these drugs.

However, the parasites from another world this time are new species that have never been discovered by humans.

"The most serious thing is that according to the news from the weather station, it is likely to rain today and tomorrow." The deputy mayor continued.

The precipitation brought by the rain will not only allow the parasites to multiply and breed in large numbers, but also accelerate the spread of the parasites along with the flow of stagnant water.

Everyone at the meeting frowned, and the atmosphere was terribly depressed.

Power has still not been restored.

As in the past, as soon as a death case of parasites from another world was discovered, an investigation and blockade was immediately carried out, and swift action was taken.

However, the slow and backward means of communication and transportation have already spread to a certain extent by the time they are discovered.

"I'll ask the provincial government to contact the air force and ask them to disperse the clouds that come over. Make sure that the surrounding area is absolutely dry these days." City No. 1 said in a deep voice.

Now the war in Dongning is still in a state of blockade and rest, the God of Hunting has never appeared, and a large number of fighters are still stationed in Hedong.

"We still need a few helicopters for emergency communication." City No. 2 said immediately.

At this time, the door knocked abruptly.

The secretary sitting in the corner who was in charge of meeting minutes stood up and went to open the door. The person who came was the director of the Municipal Health and Family Planning Bureau, with an anxious expression on his face and profuse sweat, and he couldn't help but thump.

"An outbreak was found in the safe zone!"

...

The rumble of trucks passing the road, the hurried footsteps and voices of the crowd, embellished the night tonight with extra noise.

Chen Shouyi stood in front of the window, opened the curtains, and watched quietly.

Even though it was already nine o'clock in the evening, a large number of workers in the villa area continued to work outside. The low-lying waterlogged areas here were leveled, filled with soil and sprinkled with lime.

With the news of parasites from another world, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sleep tonight.

"What a giant, why is one of my little gems missing?" Shell Girl sitting on the bed said seriously at this moment.

"You must have counted wrong." Chen Shouyi said casually.

Shell Girl was skeptical, but she counted patiently: "One by one...one by one"

After "one" for more than three minutes.

She finally stopped: "It's just that one is missing!"

"You count it again!" Chen Shouyi said.

"Hmph, this is the last time, I won't make a mistake." Shell Girl warned angrily, and counted patiently again.

After a few minutes.

"It's just missing. I have to count them every day. You must have stolen them."

"You give me back the gem!"

"You give me back the gem!"

Chen Shouyi was so annoyed by her,

He closed the curtains, walked to the bed, opened the drawer, and handed her a small glass bead.

After Shell Girl took it, she hummed twice.

Seeing the little boy's slightly contemptuous expression, Chen Shouyi's teeth itch in anger.

I really don't know how she remembered so many "ones".

"Bang bang bang!"

"President Chen!"

Bai Xiaoling's voice came from downstairs.

Chen Shouyi quickly walked out of the bedroom, went downstairs, and opened the door. Bai Xiaoling was wearing long trousers and long sleeves, holding two cardboard boxes, sweating profusely from the heat.

He glanced at it in confusion, it was rare for Bai Xiaoling not to wear a short skirt today:

"Why is this dress, isn't it hot? What can you do with me?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm here to give you insecticide!" Bai Xiaoling handed over two cardboard boxes.

"Are the parasites so serious?" Chen Shouyi asked after hearing the words, and took the cardboard box.

Bai Xiaoling nodded solemnly: "A resident of Shuiyue Community just had a case of parasites, and now he has been put under martial law by the soldiers. It's still unclear what's going on. During this time, it's best to keep uncles and aunts from going out. "

Chen Shouyi's heart sank when he heard that.

Unexpectedly, there is even a safe zone.

"Shouyi, who is it?" Mother Chen's voice came from upstairs.

"Bai Liaison Officer!" Chen Shouyi said, and then said to Bai Xiaoling, "Come in and sit for a while!"

...

In the living room.

"According to the information I have received, this parasite from another world is quite terrifying. It can not only enter the body through food, but also penetrate through the skin." Bai Xiaoling said with a trace of fear: "However, this news needs to be kept secret. I hope Uncle Auntie and Xingyue don’t spread the word indiscriminately, so as not to cause panic among the public.”

"Don't worry, we still understand this truth. It happened once in Dongning before, and thousands of people died!" Chen Dawei sighed.

"When?" Chen Xingyue asked, "Why don't I know.

"At that time you were only two or three years old, and Shouyi was just in kindergarten!" Mother Chen said.

Chen Shouyi had a little memory, but it wasn't very deep. At that age, he was still busy playing. All he knew was that he was locked up at home and didn't go to kindergarten for a whole month.

Bai Xiaoling chatted for a while, then left quickly.

The parents chatted worriedly for a few words, and soon went to bed.

Before entering the room, Chen Xingyue quietly called Chen Shouyi to stop.

"Brother, I moved the corpse, do you think I may have parasites too?" Chen Xingyue asked with a worried expression.

"Show me your hand." Chen Shouyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and said quickly.

Chen Xingyue immediately offered her arm.

Chen Shouyi took a closer look and found that her arms were smooth, with no traces visible at all. Then he quickly swipe his fingertips across her skin, creating a faint red mark, and then said:

"Don't worry, your skin is so thick, parasites shouldn't be able to penetrate your skin."

"You have a thick skin!" Chen Xingyue quickly withdrew her hand in pain, and breathed out, but the worry in her heart was relaxed.
