“I was sent by my superiors with a positioning device to confirm the safety of the people, maintain social order during the epidemic outbreak, and transmit a positioning signal to the higher-ups. The government will soon organize a rescue operation.”
“In the meantime, please remain calm, do not panic, do not spread rumors, maintain regular schedules, and consciously measure your temperature at regular intervals…”
“What’s happening outside? Are those monsters zombies?” a man in the front row asked sharply.
Zhou Rong replied: “It’s just a mutated rabies virus. Please do not spread rumors.”
Rong just sent a location signal, and the airship will come tomorrow afternoon to pick up these survivors to the B military area…
Chuncao, hooking her arm around Yan Hao’s neck in the corridor, suddenly stopped mid-sentence, staring fixedly behind her.
Yan Hao casually asked, “What’s wrong?” When he turned to look, he also froze.
A young man emerged from the bathroom, his hair wet and exceptionally black, with half a face exposed, showing a pale white complexion due to the water vapor. He turned and saw Yan Hao, remaining silent and motionless for several seconds, with pupils that seemed to hide bright amber eyes. After a while, he briefly smiled, unshouldered the carbine from his shoulder, and tossed it back.
Yan Hao instinctively caught it, hearing him say, “Here it is back.”
“Si Nan…” Yan Hao instinctively tried to stop him, but saw Si Nan turn and walk towards the storeroom. Chuncao nudged Yan Hao’s arm and whispered, “…Do you guys check looks when rescuing people?”
Zhou Rong finally broke free from the crowd, having dealt with the sobbing mall manager, looked up to see Si Nan standing in the doorway’s shadow, one hand in his pocket, silently staring at him. Zhou Rong studied him for a moment, rubbing his chin mischievously: “What, coming to make a date?”
“…it’s for the greater good!”
Confusion and fear enveloped him like a thick fog, and he struggled to differentiate reality from his fevered dreams.
A voice broke through the chaos, calm and authoritative. “We need to monitor his vitals closely. If he shows any signs of mutation, we act immediately.”
