Chapter 528 First Aid Supplies
Late at night, Xiao Jin was awakened by a heart-wrenching cry.
"Mom! Wake up! Don't scare me!!"
The sound came from upstairs, sharp and desperate, and particularly harsh in the silent night.
Xiao Jin sat up suddenly with a cold look in his eyes.
After listening for a long time, I finally realized that someone had died in the house upstairs.
Then, the whole apartment seemed to be on fire, with cries and shouts coming one after another.
"Honey! What's wrong with you?! Don't close your eyes! Ambulance! Call an ambulance!!"
"Doctor! Where's the doctor?! My daughter is dying!!"
Outside the window, the sound of ambulance sirens came from far away and then from near to far, whistling through the foggy streets.
Xiao Jin sat quietly in the dark, listening to all this with an indifferent expression.
So this is the abnormality caused by the appearance of gray fog. No need to think too much, the concentration of viruses carried by the fog outside must be several times higher than that of the white fog.
What happens tonight is nothing. Tomorrow will be the real outbreak of the poisonous fog, and by then, more than just these people will die!
The next morning, the news reported urgently:
[Emergency Notice! The composition of the fog has changed. The toxicity of gray fog is far greater than that of white fog. All residents are requested to close doors and windows and not go out! ]
[From now on, daily necessities will be distributed by the state on a per capita basis. Please be patient...]
Xiao Jin turned off the TV and walked to the window.
On the streets, a team of fully armed soldiers were distributing supplies door to door. They were wearing heavy protective clothing and gas masks, and their actions were quick and orderly.
The community staff and government workers who were originally distributing supplies have all disappeared.
Xiao Jin didn't dare to think whether these people were infected or were staying at home because of orders.
Soon, there was a knock on her door.
"Material delivery, please open the door and show your identity for verification." The speaker was a strange man.
Xiao Jin was already prepared, but she still carefully confirmed through the peephole before she opened the door a crack and handed over her ID card.
A soldier was stunned when he saw Xiao Jin's appearance. Wow, it seems that he is dressed more tightly than him.
The other party then began to verify Xiao Jin's identity.
That's right, there is only one person in this family.
Then the soldier outside passed a bag of supplies in through the gap, and his voice sounded a little dull through the mask: "This is a bag of supplies for one person, about a week's worth.
Please use it sparingly, as it will be gone once you finish it.”
Xiao Jin took the bag and nodded in thanks.
Seeing Xiao Jin's age on her ID card, the soldier seemed to be a single girl, so he could not help but remind her: "Be careful at home. Don't open the door to anyone except those who come to deliver supplies."
Xiao Jin glanced at him and replied after a moment: "I know, thank you."
After closing the door, she placed all the supplies on the floor inside the glass partition, disinfected the outer packaging thoroughly, and then threw the unpacked garbage into the garbage bag and tied it up.
After all this was done, Xiao Jin took the supplies out of the entrance hall and placed them on the kitchen counter.
Looking at the big bag of supplies, although there are quite a lot of things in it, if you spread it out over a week, there won’t be much.
5 pounds of vacuum-packed rice, a handful of celery, a small bundle of green onions, a palm-sized cabbage, two cans of luncheon meat and a five-pack of instant noodles.
The instant noodles are actually in the flavor of old-style pickled cabbage.
Finally, the bag also contained three 2L bottles of mineral water and a small bottle of nasal spray. (Instructions included: can reduce the erosion of toxic fog)
Xiao Jin picked up the bottle of spray and looked at it carefully.
"A relief drug was developed so quickly?" She was a little surprised, but then shook her head: "It's unlikely to have much effect. It should be a temporary solution, not a permanent cure."
Moreover, as time goes by, the poisonous gas in the fog outside increases little by little, and there will come a day when this temporary solution will no longer work.
Xiao Jin did not use it, but put the spray aside.
Also, the state has tested the water and found no problems, so the amount of water given is not much, but it is enough for emergency use.
Put the supplies into space, after all, there is no safe space anywhere.
Then Xiao Jin picked up his phone and just after swiping it, he saw a lot of complaints on it.
[Is this enough to last a week? There are three people in my family, and I only got three portions. There’s not even any oil. How can I cook?! ]
[My child is growing up and needs meat every day! If the government doesn’t provide it, can we buy it ourselves? Who has a channel? ]
[Upstairs, I still have a few pounds of ribs in the refrigerator, chat privately, the price is negotiable. ]
[Okay, okay, wait, I'll add you. Oh? By the way, is the meat fresh? ]
[Big sister, you have been staying at home for several days. Where can I get you fresh meat? I'll just use the frozen ones. Do you want it?]
[Haha, people still sell meat these days? Keep it to save your life! ]
[Just be content! The supplies haven't been delivered to our neighborhood yet, and we only have half a pack of biscuits left at home! If the people delivering the supplies don't come, we won't have anything to eat next time! ]
[Can you send some medicine? My wife is starting to cough up blood. ]
[This bunch of government officials who only know how to be greedy and not work hard, the common people can hardly afford to eat, but they can't even fart.
I'm told every day not to go out and not to spread the news, don't I know I can't go out? 】
[Hey, hey, hey, stop it, it's not easy for anyone at this time. The soldiers are risking infection to deliver supplies to you. Don't say thank you, but don't complain! They don't owe you anything.]
[That's right, the more I talk about it, the more excited I get. If there was a way, who would hide it? ]
Xiao Jin swiped the screen expressionlessly, with no emotion in his heart.
At the end of the world, human nature is fully exposed.
Some people are still craving to eat meat, some have started hoarding it, and more people can only wait for death in despair.
Dissatisfaction turns into resentment, and resentment turns into hatred.
She turned off her phone and walked to the window.
The gray fog still shrouded the city, and fully armed soldiers shuttled through the fog like a group of silent ghosts.
Xiao Jin gently pulled the curtains and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
If you are in a bad mood, then use delicious food to cure it. She suddenly wants to eat barbecue!
Imagine that there is a light mist outside the window, and a warm and deep dimness inside the house.
In such an atmosphere, the aroma of barbecue permeates the air, interweaving with the refreshing taste of ice-cold beer.
She sat on the soft carpet, eating sizzling barbecue and watching the movie on the screen.
This scene is beautiful just by imagining it!
So, Xiao Jin buried her head and began to rummage around in her space. Anyway, there were plenty of supplies in her space, so she could find whatever she wanted to eat.
