Chapter 531: Withered Grass
But just after one disaster, another one came.
At the same time, another piece of news was quietly circulating on the Internet.
On a famous forum:
[Don't use the spray issued by the government! My husband had a nosebleed after using it and is now in a coma! ]
A large number of victims quickly gathered under this post:
[My daughter does the same thing! She twitches after spraying! ]
[My mother vomited blood after using it! ]
[Is the country trying to kill us? ! ]
When Xiao Jin first discovered this incident, he thought it was just some ordinary people causing trouble.
But as the topic became more and more popular, many people came forward to say that their family members had experienced varying degrees of sequelae after using the spray.
Xiao Jin picked up the spray on the table and took a close look at the bottle.
It's very rough, with no indications or precautions listed at all.
The matter quickly escalated and the government had to hold an emergency press conference.
At the press conference, the Minister of Health announced with a grim face: "It has been verified that Professor Zhang, the person in charge of the research and development of the nasal spray, is suspected of data falsification and has been arrested according to law."
The camera turned to the handcuffed old man who was shouting hysterically: "I am trying to save people! There is no time to complete the experiment!"
The government has promised to compensate all victims, but no one cares anymore.
What’s even more ironic is that some people, upon hearing about compensation, deliberately used spray and pretended to be victims to collect supplies.
Until the government announced: "For all those who are caught suspected of defrauding compensation materials, the state will not issue free materials to them in the future.
The government does not provide treatment for the various symptoms caused by the toxic spray."
After that, the government carried out strong supervision and actually caught many people who were doing tricks in private.
No matter what, everything is recorded and a notice of criticism and education is issued.
As for those who get sick from using the poisonous spray, we will never do anything about it, no matter how much you beg.
When those people saw it, they were completely dumbfounded.
At this time, who can save them except the country with medical conditions?
So they all cried bitterly and said that they would never make the same mistake again, but unfortunately there is no medicine for regret in the world.
The farce lasted for almost three days before it gradually subsided.
Xiao Jin stood in front of the window, looking at the fog outside which had turned into dark gray.
In the news, the death toll is breaking records every day.
Hospitals have long been overwhelmed, and bodies wrapped in white cloth can be seen everywhere on the streets.
These people were afraid that the corpse would infect living people if it stayed at home, so they placed the corpse in an open space in the community downstairs.
The government is still insisting on broadcasting announcements asking citizens to "remain confident", but no one believes it anymore.
………………
[Today is the 12th day of the game, survival progress: 44%]
Xiao Jin opened his eyes, and the system panel automatically expanded in his mind.
Outside the window, the gray-black fog was thicker than yesterday, almost blocking out all the light, and the entire city seemed to be immersed in turbid ink.
She stood up and habitually checked the fresh air system in the house - the "green light" was very good, the gaps in the windows - intact, the integrity of the glass partitions and plastic sheets - no errors, the air purifier - also normal.
After all the inspections were completed, Xiao Jin went to the bathroom to wash up leisurely.
The morning light could not penetrate the countless fog in front of me and enter the room.
Under the light, several delicious dishes are laid out on today's breakfast table.
The crystal clear shrimp dumplings are as delicate as a work of art. Take a bite and you will discover the sweet shrimp meat and the soft skin interweaving into a beautiful melody.
The rich aroma of black bean sauce permeates every inch of the chicken feet, which is soft and chewy. The flowing golden custard is hidden under the golden skin of the custard bun. With a light bite, the sweetness slides down like silk.
Coupled with the carefully cooked century egg and lean meat porridge, the delicate porridge base embraces the fragrance of the century egg and the sweetness of the lean meat, which is warm and nourishing, and soothes Xiao Jin's stomach just right.
Today is the delicious Cantonese-style morning tea. Xiao Jin sits at the dining table, savoring each exquisite breakfast until a feeling of fullness slowly sets in.
After the meal, put all the garbage into the bag, tie it up, and then put it in the designated garbage placement in the space.
After everything was ready, Xiao Jin leisurely poured himself a pot of elegant chrysanthemum tea.
She held a teacup, sipped it slowly, half leaning on the sofa, her eyes wandering to the screen of her mobile phone.
Maybe because of the poisonous fog, everything in the short video is very boring.
Most of them were talking about the poisonous fog, while others were trying to make more cost-effective meals in their own meager kitchens with just a few simple supplies.
Such videos are still very popular.
Suddenly, Xiao Jin was about to swipe the screen in front of her, but her finger suddenly stopped.
When she saw it clearly, she was shocked by the picture on the phone screen.
In the video, a figure in protective clothing was walking outdoors. The fog outside was so thick that his body could hardly be seen.
This turned out to be an outdoor anchor.
Looking at this guy’s homepage, it’s basically all videos of him going out for hiking, which explains why an ordinary person like him would wear such professional equipment.
He was completely unafraid of the thick fog outside.
What made Xiao Jin stop was not anything else but the host's current actions.
The host was seen squatting slowly, with the camera of his mobile phone close to the ground, directly revealing the bare soil below.
Xiao Jin noticed at a glance that the grass and trees on both sides of the originally lush and green streets had turned yellow and withered, as if late autumn had arrived early and there was no vitality at all.
The camera moves slowly forward, and the leaves that were once lush and green now seem to have been drained of their vitality. They are dry and curled, and they seem like they will crumble into powder with the slightest touch.
Seeing this, Xiao Jin's heart tightened. He quickly put down his phone and ran to the window to look outside.
She pulled out a small prop shaped like children's glasses and looked out the window.
Sure enough, in the garden downstairs, the flowers and plants that were usually in full bloom also showed the same signs of decay. A gust of wind blew, and the dead branches and leaves were blown away by the wind.
Xiao Jin remembered clearly that every time she came back from buying supplies a few days ago, she would pass by the flower bed.
Click on the comments below, and the barrage above is almost becoming an afterimage.
[Why is this happening? Is it really impossible to recover? ]
[Oh no! The plants and trees have all been poisoned to death. What about the crops in the fields? ]
The crops in the fields were only a month or two away from harvest time. Now that the flowers and plants were all killed by the poison, the crops, vegetables, and fruits in the fields would probably not be spared either.
[It's over, it's over. How long can the food we have now last? Without further supplies, we will all starve to death.]
At this moment, the name of a blogger began to be swiped frantically below the screen.
[Go watch @佳佳一家’s pinned video, it’s really over this time! ]
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, and followed the netizens' tips to find this 'Jia Jia Family'.
Taking a look at the pinned video, it has tens of millions of views, with more reposts than likes, and the numbers above are even increasing rapidly.
Xiao Jin clicked it, and soon, the camera shook slightly and pointed to the direction of the kitchen. Looking at the surrounding environment, it was just an ordinary residence.
