Inside the hospital.

Miura looked at Zhang Tianhao, who was dozing off in the clinic, and his expression became much calmer.

“Someone was infected with the virus and was sent to the hospital. We have already dealt with it. There are also four other people who were sent here. We have also locked them up in a house on the side.”

Head Nurse Zhou came over and gave a brief report on the situation, also explaining that there were no doctors on duty that night.

"No one's on duty, where are they?"

"Dean, all the doctors have been working for two or three days without a break. They are all so tired that they don't even want to walk anymore. Calling them again is useless."

"As for Dr. Wang, he was just asleep in the dormitory when we woke him up. He's still dozing off now."

'Oh, I see!'

Miura also understands what it feels like to work for two or three days without sleeping.

"The current situation may not be so ideal. We need to strengthen control measures in the county. If we are not careful, the virus could really break out, and the entire county would be in danger!"

"understand!"

"Alright, you should go and rest for a while too. Dr. Wang should also go and rest for a while, otherwise if another emergency occurs, we won't even be able to find anyone."

"Yes!"

Zhang Tianhao was also woken up and went back to his dormitory to rest, while Nurse Zhou and the others took turns resting in the duty room.

Back in his dorm, Zhang Tianhao changed his clothes, washed up, and then fell asleep on his bed.

The night grew deeper, and the entire county town resembled a giant, ferocious beast, poised to devour it at any moment.

Inside Cuiyun Tower.

Liu Yan looked at Lao Wu in front of her, and her expression also became much gloomy.

"There really have been infected, and they are ordinary people. This is a bit of a problem."

"Ordinary people shouldn't be infected, how could ordinary people be infected?"

"We don't know either, we can't even ask around. That residential area has been sealed off by the police station; people are allowed to enter but not leave!"

"If you run around recklessly, you might get shot."

Old Wu gave a bitter smile, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Old Wu, do you think it's possible that the Japanese did this on purpose? Logically speaking, only military personnel and Japanese people should be infected, so how could ordinary people be infected?"

“Soldiers in the barracks sometimes go home, and maybe they brought the virus home. As a result, the virus got infected like this. Who could have known? If only we had burned No. 03's body right then and there, why did we have to transport it outside the city to burn it? This was a mistake on my part.”

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue, but rather how we clean up this mess, since the consequences are something neither you nor I can afford."

"That's true."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"What good solutions do you think an ordinary person like me could have? Even the doctors don't have any good solutions, don't you know that?"

"That's right. Doctors don't have any good solutions, and besides, the hospitals don't have any medicine. They can't save people even if they want to. The military police, the barracks outside, and the people in the city—once they get infected, they're doomed. Our men saw an infected person at the hospital gate and shot him on the spot, burning him to ashes."

"Yes, it was burned to ashes on the spot."

Liu Yan twitched her lips bitterly a few times, her originally delicate face now filled with endless disappointment.

"Mr. Liu, what are your plans next?"

"That's fine. You see, I can't do without someone here, can I?" Upon hearing that he couldn't do without someone, Lao Wu immediately understood. After all, there were still several wounded soldiers recovering here. Even if he was very skilled, he couldn't make all the wounded soldiers heal at once.

"Alright, just settle down here. But don't contact outsiders recently. There's no way you can avoid contact, and it could easily cause you unnecessary trouble."

"Ok!"

"Alright, I'm leaving now. There's martial law everywhere, I can't get out at all!"

After Lao Wu finished speaking, he stood up and walked directly towards the back door.

……

Inside Liu's General Store.

Old Liu sat in the room in the backyard, looking at Old Zhou in front of him, his face showing worry.

"Old Zhou, the situation is much more complicated than we imagined. Who would have thought that the Japanese would be so ruthless, directly using a virus, and a biological virus at that, to deliver a fatal blow to us."

"Old Liu, this time it might not have been the Japanese who did it. Otherwise, the Japanese military police wouldn't have been infected. It's very likely that an accident happened this time. According to our investigation, a corpse was discovered by the Japanese and then carried back by the puppet troops, which resulted in all of them being infected."

Old Zhou thought for a moment, then said helplessly, "I also wanted to say that it was the Japanese who did it, but this time it really was an accident."

"Sigh, this time it might be troublesome."

"It is indeed a big problem. Even ordinary people have been infected with the biochemical virus. Suddenly, people are panicking, and no one knows who will be next."

"Now everyone has to stay home in quarantine. No one is allowed to move around. Except for the police, special agents, epidemic prevention team members, and doctors, everyone has to stay at home. It's so troublesome!"

"It is indeed a problem; even Xiao Qi can't come here anymore."

Old Liu understood that the entire county was under lockdown, and no one was allowed to leave. He didn't know how much trouble that would cause.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now. I don't have any good ideas either. It's difficult to even send the intelligence up, and we can't get out!"

"Indeed, we don't have a radio station!"

"Yes, we can send a telegram from the telegraph office, what do you think?"

"No need to go. All places are locked down. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Understand? If there are any problems, you can find the police. There is no other way. As for how many days the lockdown will last, that's beyond our imagination."

"Ugh--"

……

Meanwhile, back in his dorm, Zhang Tianhao, who had slept for another four hours, opened his eyes again and sat up, full of energy.

He walked to the side, carefully picked up a cigarette, smelled it under his nose, and finally put it down.

It's not that he doesn't want to smoke, but he's afraid to smoke now, worried that developing a smoking habit isn't good.

"I seem to have forgotten something?"

Suddenly, a look of doubt flashed across his face, and he even looked out the window, feeling as if he had promised something but ultimately forgot about it.

"No, it's the little girls!"

After a while, he realized what the problem was.

"Damn it, I was so busy that I almost forgot about it. I don't even know if the three little girls have moved into the Wang family compound yet!"

Thinking about how there was nothing in the Wang family compound—no grain, no pots, and no firewood—he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"It's all because of this damn virus; it's so disheartening." (End of Chapter)
