Chapter Fifteen: Ni Jia's Decision
Ni Jia and Mi Ajiu finally stopped a car. When they heard that they were going to a planting base, they decisively refused, no matter how much money they gave.
When asked why, he just stepped on the accelerator and didn't bother to respond - they all said he was infected with a super virus and must be strictly controlled. When asked why, he was either pretending to be stupid or he was really stupid.
As they walked towards the planting base, the two asked people they met. After pestering more than a dozen people, they finally got some information from an aunt who sold herbal tea: a terrible disease appeared in the planting base... Once infected, the inside of the body will dissolve into plasma.
, then ferments, bursts the skin, turns into an infinitely expanding blood cell, and then explodes...and once others are infected, they will also be infected and explode...
The two of them felt chills running down their bodies.
The aunt told the two of them not to go there. Now the entire planting base has been taken over by the army.
Miajiu asked the other party why he knew so much?
The aunt said that she used to be a temporary worker at the base. It was not her shift that day, but because another worker had something to do and couldn't go, she was asked to take over the shift. She overheard the boss discussing something with several base managers, so she stopped by.
After listening for a while, I also saw through the gap a worker who had been bitten by a mouse lying in the room, wailing continuously, his body swelled like a ball, and then exploded...
She was so frightened that she ran back quickly without even punching in the work card. Of course, when the check was done later, she was not on the work list. She also insisted that she had other things to do that day and did not go to the base. Then she went back to town to marry her son and daughter-in-law.
Lived here.
This time she saw Mi Ajiu and Ni Jia insisting on getting closer to that place, and she felt compassion in her heart, so she had no choice but to speak out, and repeatedly told them not to expose her.
Ni Jia's legs were weak, and her fingers holding Mi Ajiu's arm almost dug into her flesh.
After all, Miajiu had a head-on confrontation with the "monster" and was relatively calm. She repeatedly promised her aunt that they would never go to that place and that they had never seen her.
The other party's information was very important to them, and the aunt's kindness should not be let down. Mi Ajiu bought two cups of herbal tea, took out 200 yuan and stuffed it into the other party's hand.
After leaving the aunt's herbal tea stall, the two stood under a billboard. Mi Ajiu took out banana pie and fried chicken nuggets from her backpack, handed one to Ni Jia, and drank herbal tea while eating.
Ask: "What are your plans now?"
Ni Jia held the herbal tea in her hands and drank a few sips, her fear subsided slightly, "You, what do you think?"
"You really want to listen to my advice?"
"..."
"My suggestion is to go back now and pretend that you have heard nothing and seen nothing. Maybe the reality is a bit cruel, but our abilities can only allow us to survive. There are some things and things that we cannot touch.
Then just go with the flow..."
"Then... what should I do with Xiaojun's child? She, she said on the phone that I must help her take care of it. Moreover, the child is locked in a secret room. If I don't go, he will..." starve to death inside.
Mi Ajiu thought for a while and said: "You just heard that the aunt told me about the terrible virus. Anyone who touches it will be infected, and then it will lie dormant for a few days and explode. You said that Xiaojun's husband was bitten by a mouse in the first place.
It took a few days before he went crazy and bit Xiaojun... There was such a long time in between, how many people did they come into contact with, and how many people did these people infect? I don't think the children closest to them were not in contact..."
In short, it is very likely that the child is also infected. No... he is definitely infected.
"But... Xiaojun said on the phone that she, she protected her child very well and kept her in a secret room, just waiting for me to go..."
Mi Ajiu sincerely advised Ni Jia not to go any further. She had done her part as a friend by taking such a big risk and coming here.
Go back as soon as possible while everything is fine now.
The entire planting base was sealed off, and the hospital that received the disease patients was also sealed off and guarded by armed police. This shows that the situation is very serious.
The most important thing is that this planting base has exploded, but what about other planting areas? Have there been outbreaks in other places?
It is better to stay at home than to be outside. Mi Ajiu is now fully fed and the whole family is not hungry, but Ni Jia still has her parents and siblings. If a major incident really breaks out, they will definitely be worried about her.
Ni Jia talked about her friendship with Xiaojun, saying that she was still hundreds of thousands short of buying a house, but the other party lent it to her without saying anything and even without paying an IOU.
This time when the other party encountered real difficulties, he thought of her first and entrusted her with the child, which showed that he really trusted her. How could she let him down?
Ni Jia bit her lower lip and said resolutely: "I... decided to go to her home and have a look. If the two children... are still there, I will help her take care of them. If it is like what you said... at least I want to ask my sincerity.
No shame.”
Miajiu paused and sighed.
She wanted to say that the worst outcome was that the two children had "changed" and there was a trap ahead.
The best outcome is that the children are fine, but one is four years old and the other is only a few months old. How can she take care of someone who is not married yet?
If Xiaojun never comes back (in fact, she already feels in her heart that something has happened to Xiaojun), what will happen to the growth and education of these two children?
But, everyone has already decided, so why should she use her selfish and narrow vision to stop others' kindness.
That’s it, that’s it.
Miajiu didn't try to persuade her anymore. Anyway, she had already said what she needed to say.
Ask directly: "Then what are you going to do now? There is no car willing to take us there, do you want to walk?"
Ni Jia seemed to have made a major decision: "Yes, walk over. Ajiu, are you still willing to accompany me?"
Miajiu did not answer directly, but asked: "If I don't accompany you, will you still go?"
Ni Jia looked determined, "Yes, I, I already know that the two children are in the secret room. I can't pretend that I don't know anything and do nothing. I..."
Mi Ajiu interrupted the other party: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Ni Jia grabbed Mi Ajiu's hand, with tears in her eyes, "Ajiu, thank you."
"Just think it over yourself."
Ni Jia opened the map on her mobile phone and said that she had been here several times before and knew that there was a relatively close path, about four or five kilometers away.
The two of them continued to eat. Ni Jia looked at the food in her hands and looked a little embarrassed.
Before, she thought it was troublesome for people to prepare so many things. Now, if she didn't have these foods, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to go - hungry, tired, thirsty... she was told that she was on the way before she even got there.
While eating, Mi Ajiu flipped through the web page again.
There is no news from the villa, nor from Chao County.
The Internet is still flooded with all kinds of public opinions. Only a few sudden events pop up occasionally, but they are quickly submerged by other information or deleted.
In short, whether in reality or on the Internet, Mi Ajiu felt an unprecedented undercurrent of depression and uneasiness.
As the lowest level of the people, they are always the last to know about the changes in the world. Those immortal viruses that have flowed out of scientists' laboratories have penetrated into human society. It is just a matter of activation or continued latent. Once a certain opportunity is achieved, this world...
