Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 21 A sudden turn of events
The second day of isolation was uneventful.

Due to the strong intervention of the military, the gunfire from the direction of the city gradually subsided. At nightfall, only sparse gunshots remained, and even a few burning fires were extinguished.

People gathered in groups of three or four, excitedly discussing the changes in the city. They all felt that once the situation was under control, the epidemic would be reversed quickly.

After going through some hardships, everyone began to look forward to a better future.

Ou Yang lay on the ground, resting his head on his arms, imagining how surprised his parents would be when he flew across the ocean and knocked on their door to see them after the epidemic was over.

My father probably won't be as restrained as before, and my mother will definitely cry with joy, and then make a big plate of braised pork ribs to celebrate his safe return!

You are already in your twenties and still making your parents worry and scared. It is really wrong.

He secretly made up his mind to stay in the country and never go out again.

"Ou Yang, it's your turn!" Zhu Yiming called out.

Ou Yang immediately stood up: "Here I come!"

He ran over happily and started charging his phone.

There are many charging stations in the waiting hall, and the military has not prohibited people from using them. However, communications have not yet been restored, and all functions on mobile phones that require the Internet cannot be used.

Travelers who have movies or videos stored on their phones immediately become everyone's favorite.

Next, some people used their portable computers, USB flash drives or other storage tools to copy video files for others. Some of them even set a price and turned copying into a business.

Short videos are one dollar, TV series are five dollars, movies are ten dollars, particularly exciting classic movies are twenty dollars, and novels or other things that can kill time range from one to ten dollars.

As expected, Lao Mi is the one whose business is everywhere.

The most surprising thing is that Mr. Ma, who has always had little presence, actually saved a lot of APK files in his notebook, which are all kinds of small games to kill time. It's a pity that Lao Mi basically uses Apple, otherwise he would definitely make a small profit.

Student Ma didn't feel anything, but Zhu Yiming felt very sorry for him.

Thanks to the reversal of the situation, everyone was in a relaxed mood. Some old people even started to let themselves go, singing and dancing while holding up their mobile phones playing various music. The atmosphere was very cheerful.

Some of the people stranded in Area E also chose to leave, and less than half remained.

Ou Yang and others were not so impatient. Whether they were old or young, they all felt that it was not the time to completely relax.

"Everyone was in disarray last night. We can't be so confused tonight. Someone must keep watch!" said Brother Zhang.

"It's best to go together in pairs. Not only will you have a companion, but it's also double insurance," said Uncle Hu.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... There are only seven of us. How should we arrange it?"

"Are you missing something? Auntie Guo is so old and has high blood pressure, how can she be on night duty?" Brother Zhang criticized bluntly. "Auntie Guo doesn't count. The others will be divided into three groups, each with two hours. What do you think?"

"A round of four hours? It's not as good as a group of three hours!" said Uncle Hu.

Sleeping only four hours is too short, and sleeping six hours is barely enough.

Aunt Guo also offered her own suggestion: "I am old and can't sleep late, but I can get up early, so count me in."

"No need to bother." Ou Yang shook his phone. "I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and I'll take over for the second half. There's nothing to do anyway, so I can just catch up on some sleep tomorrow."

"I think it's okay." Zhu Yiming said.

Everyone discussed it and finally decided on the rotation order.

Everyone else went to bed early, leaving only Ou Yang and Zhu Yiming, who were on the first shift, clutching their phones to while away the hours. As the night deepened, Ou Yang thought he could hold on, but before he knew it, his eyelids were closing in, his thoughts stagnating and his consciousness hazy.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, an extremely sharp scream suddenly penetrated his eardrums.

He jumped up and realized that the sound came from area A.

Zhu Yiming also woke up instantly and looked at Area A in surprise and confusion.

Not only the two of them, but everyone else woke up instantly, only Aunt Guo was still sleeping soundly.

"What happened?" asked Brother Zhang.

"I don't know." Ou Yang shook his head. "It came from Area A."

"Area A? That's okay!" Brother Zhang's tense nerves relaxed.

"Oh my! Who is that? Howling like that in the middle of the night, it nearly gave me a heart attack!" Uncle Hu patted his chest exaggeratedly. "If this happens a few more times, I'm not sure if I'll even see the sun tomorrow!"

"Oh, forget it." Brother Zhang advised, "Brother Hu, that's Area A, it's not surprising if anything happens."

"Isn't it strange? I can't sleep at all. It's so scary!" Uncle Hu was still frightened. "Xiao Ou and Xiao Zhu, you two go to sleep. I'll keep watch this night!"

Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, shall I go with you?"

"That's fine!" said Uncle Hu.

Ouyang...

One of these two men was a chatterbox, while the other was taciturn. He really wanted to see with his own eyes what it was like for them to keep watch together.

But he soon succumbed to the invasion of sleepiness and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. Ou Yang rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh: It's the third day...

He really wanted to know what would happen next, but the whole day was very peaceful. The military no longer sent out reinforcements, and there were only sporadic gunshots in the city. Another group of Lao Mi from District E left.

Except for some troubles in Area A from time to time, everything is going perfectly.

In the evening, there was a sudden commotion in Area B. Although it was quelled after a short while, several people were sent to Area A in protective suits.

Then, a group of people in protective suits broke the silence. They set up more tents and doubled the size of Area A.

The sudden accident cast a shadow over everyone's heart.

That night, Area A was even more lively. Everyone was sleeping and waking up from time to time, and it was impossible to get a good night's sleep.

On the fourth day, more yellow Bs who had already fallen ill or showed signs of illness were sent to area A in protective clothing.

Ou Yang and others did not know that Area A was also divided into several different areas, where infected people with different symptoms were housed and given different types of medicines.

Although it was only a few days, the military invested a lot of manpower and resources in Area A, and more and more patients were moved into Area A, but no signs of improvement were found.

This result made the military very anxious.

On the fifth day, the gunfire and explosions from the direction of the city gradually increased, and many of the old Americans who had left returned to Area E.

Lao Mi, who moved into Area A, also experienced a small outbreak. In order to accommodate more and more infected people, the military had to continue to expand Area A, even squeezing out other areas. Finally, it had to move half of Area C out of the terminal and relocate it to the apron.

Ou Yang was completely upset. Wasn't the situation supposed to be improving? Why did it take a sudden turn for the worse?
