Chapter 92 Emerging Epidemics

Yun Zhen was completely unaware of the undercurrents surging outside and the envy and jealousy of the famous ladies in Beidu.

She played with the female employees without realizing it, and listened to the workers’ troubles with a laugh.

Had a great evening at the anniversary party.

If there is anything I am not satisfied with, it is that the buffet at the banquet is mostly cold food, which tastes good but does not fill me up very well.

It feels like I didn’t eat anything.

After the banquet, Pei Rongzhao sent her back to her room.

Yunzhen asked him, “Should I find a special shop to clean your skirt and high heels and return them to you?”

Pei Rongzhao looked at her and said, “No, this was originally prepared for you. I’m giving it to you. This skirt suits you very well.”

Yunzhen felt a little embarrassed because she had heard Tommy mention the high price of this dress.

She wanted to decline politely, but when she met Pei Rongzhao’s eyes, she couldn’t say anything.

Finally, he just said: “Thank you, I will give you a return gift next time.”

The next day, Yunzhen was going to fly back to Ya City.

She dragged her suitcase downstairs to the hotel and found Pei Rongzhao just driving over to wait for her.

She thought the man was just playing host and giving her a ride, but she didn’t expect that he would also take the same flight to Ya City.

“The branch office over there has just opened, and I’m going there on a business trip for a while.”

Pei Rongzhao went to the airport with her and helped her upgrade her ticket to first class.

The two of them sat side by side in connected seats, and to outsiders they looked like a well-matched couple.

After Yunzhen got used to his aura, he was able to chat with him in a friendly manner.

“When will the air-conditioning suits and protective capsules start production?”

“It will take at least until the end of the year. We need to spend some time to manufacture the production machines.”

“Is the business of the branch in Ya City the same as that in Beidu?”

“It’s a little different. This place focuses more on biotechnology.”

When the flight attendant brought the drink over, Pei Rongzhao, who was sitting on the outside, helped hand it to her.

Their hands accidentally touched each other during the process of passing the drink. Yun Zhen pretended to be indifferent and took a sip of the drink.

But her heart skipped a beat, a blush appeared on Furong’s fair face, and the hand that had been touched felt slightly hot.

She and Pei Rongzhao always seem to be like this lately.

If you are not careful, you will fall into a pink atmosphere.

She admitted that Pei Rongzhao was an excellent man, but she should never take the initiative.

Yun Zhen still remembered Pei Hao’s words and didn’t want this guy to get carried away in the future.

If you really mean it, just take the initiative to pursue her. She won’t be the first one to fall in love anyway.

Four hours later, the plane landed in Ya City.

Pei Rongzhao’s assistant drove to pick him up and sent Yunzhen home.

The journey was long and tiring, and when Yunzhen got off the car at the intersection near his home, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.

Pei Rongzhao took advantage of her inattention and raised his hand to touch her head, saying gently, “Let’s have dinner together when you are free.”

Yun Zhen, who was originally in a state of mental distress, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.

Watching the black car gradually disappearing from view, I realized belatedly:

Is this guy pursuing her?

It seems so, but it seems not.

Not sure, need to observe further.

After returning to Ya City, Yun Zhen lived a regular but extraordinary daily life. In addition to writing novels, he spent the rest of his time supporting the two Lilliputian dimensions in his bookcase.

Since my great-aunt was slacking off in her exercise, she would urge her to do more every day.

It just so happens that there is a ready-made teacher in the village, Mr. Cui, so learning self-defense is more convenient and efficient.

I heard that the elderly people living in the shacks have good tempers, but the villagers have no means to help them.

Yun Zhen bought them a few cans of malted milk, two 100-jin bags of rice, some fresh vegetables, clothes, shoes, bedding, etc., and asked Yun Qiuying to bring them to them.

Yun Qiuying did not take all the credit, but told several old seniors frankly that these were gifts from the mountain god.

The old seniors had never seen a miracle. Although they felt that Qingshan Village was very unusual, they just thought that there was a master helping them behind the scenes, and the other party’s code name happened to be “Mountain God.”

I didn’t think in the direction of feudal superstition at all.

The state of the era plane was stable, and Yun Zhen began to pay attention to the apocalypse plane.

As long as she is at home, it rains in the north almost every other day, and she uses a humidifier to increase the air humidity in Beijing and Tianjin on a daily basis.

According to Pei Hao, white clouds have recently begun to appear in Beidu.

It’s not much, but it’s a good sign.

It is currently impossible to predict how long the drought and high temperatures will last.

As long as we make efforts to change bit by bit, mankind will definitely be able to survive the apocalyptic disaster in more than a hundred years.

Yun Zhen believes this, and the small humans in the plane also hold the same belief.

However, natural disasters will not easily change their pace of destruction just because you are optimistic.

The reason why the end of the world is called the end of the world is that it always gives you a head-on blow when you think hope has appeared.

On this day, Yun Zhen filled the granary of the apocalyptic plane as usual.

After finishing, he was about to go back to work on his computer when he saw the Pei family gathered together, discussing the emerging epidemic with serious expressions.

This epidemic only broke out in the last week and has not spread too widely so far.

The patient will develop small red spots on his body. There are not many of them but they are extremely itchy and painful when scratched.

It’s a bit like eczema, but not as scary as eczema.

The patient had alternating high and low fevers, and it was not easy to reduce the fever. Even after taking medicine, the patient did not recover for a long time.

So far, no patient has recovered and been discharged from the hospital, and doctors throughout Beidu are overwhelmed.

Many things have not yet been investigated clearly, such as the cause of the disease, the course of the disease, its harmfulness, whether it is contagious, etc.

The biopharmaceutical company under Tianzhou Group has sent special personnel to track and study the epidemic.

“The virus research lab has reported that the rash contains an unknown toxin. They are inclined to believe that it was caused by a bite from some creature.”

“The hospital also has the latest report saying that a humid environment will aggravate the condition. When the air is dry, the condition will not be alleviated, but the rate of deterioration will slow down.”

Yun Zhen was very worried when he heard this and immediately asked them:
“Is it raining too much? How about I reduce the rainfall frequency?”

Pei Hao shook his head. “Outside Beidu and Tianjin, the natural disaster situation is still severe. If the rainfall is reduced, the high temperature and drought will recover and intensify within three days.”

“According to satellite detection, some areas abroad have reached an extremely high temperature of 65 degrees Celsius. The ground soil has rapidly turned into desert, and animals and plants have died on a large scale. Even humans may not survive. We cannot lose rain. The consequences will be more terrible than an epidemic.”

Lack of water is not good, and humidity also causes strange diseases. Yunzhen feels caught in a dilemma.

Just as I was worrying, I suddenly remembered the introduction of the system information.

The types of disasters in Beidu and Tianjin are high temperature, drought, insect plague and plague.

The first two have lasted for a long time, but the latter two have not yet been met.

She originally thought that the insect plague referred to locusts. After all, there have been cases of locust plagues following droughts in history.

But the high temperature and drought in the apocalyptic plane are too horrifying, even living people can’t stand it, let alone a mere locust.

Therefore, the insect plague should not refer to locusts, but a disaster that has not yet occurred.

So is this epidemic with small red spots and high fever the plague mentioned in the system information?
