Chen Tongzhong couldn't cry anymore, and instinctively rushed over to prevent the corpse collector from taking away Chen Hao's body, but was limped by the elbow of the person walking in front and fell away.

"Mayor Chen!"

Seeing this, the two nurses exclaimed, and hurriedly reached out to help Chen Tongzhong, and in a moment, the corpse collector had already walked to the van one after the other, and threw the body bag into the open door, the action was as rough as throwing a heavy cargo.

"Oops, how can these people do this!"

A nurse yelled towards the courtyard with a hug in her arms, and Chen Tongzhong, who had just stood firm, patted the back of her hand, sighed and said, "Anyway, sooner or later, it will be carried away, even if you take a second look, what's the use?" ”

But in the process of pushing and shoving, a watch with a strange style worn by the corpse collector on his wrist left a deep impression on him.

From the outside, the watch is not much different from an ordinary men's watch, with a dark blue case and a finely textured black cowhide strap, which can be bought in large shopping malls.

The dial under the case is covered with faint red threads, which rotate one after another towards the central black dot, like a three-dimensional visual dynamic image, but also as if it is really rotating. Stripped of the threads, the dial is empty, not even the most basic time scale and hands.

But the question only flashed, and all Chen Tongzhong's thoughts returned to his son, and he said "forget it", but his two feet still ran out uncontrollably.

Hurrying out of the gate, the van had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the dust raised on the gravel road, which blurred his tear-covered vision even more.

At that moment, two more patients, an elderly lady and her six-year-old granddaughter, rushed to the health center. The grandparents got up in the morning and drank some gruel, and two hours later they had symptoms of nausea and vomiting, convulsions of their limbs, and on the way to the hospital, their bodies began to swell, and their faces turned a little purple.

Chen Tongzhong sympathized with the other patients, but at this time he did not spare the strength to ask, and after saying goodbye to the busy doctors and nurses, he slowly walked home with his hands on the wall.

The next day, he got up early and prepared to go through the funeral procedures at the city funeral home. Before the children were cremated, a small memorial service was held, and almost every family in the town sent a representative to attend.

However, before he left to go out, a call from the town clinic called, saying that the hospital in the city suspected that Chen Hao had died of some undiagnosed infectious disease, and that his body had been transferred to the relevant departments for autopsy, and that he should not go to the funeral home first.

"How so? How so! ”

For the next whole day, Chen Tongzhong couldn't do anything, and sat alone on the roof of the building, looking at the pale sky and repeating this sentence.

After that day, even if he wanted to go to the "relevant departments" to recover the body, he couldn't care about it, because his wife had a heart attack, and the roaring ambulance was still halfway there, she stopped breathing.

The tragedy of the Chen family is just a prelude, when Chen Tongzhong is grief-stricken with his dead wife, the destruction of the town is quietly kicking off.

No one expected that the grandparents and grandchildren who were sent to the health center were not a single case, but the first case, and they represented the beginning of a terrible epidemic. Since that day, there have been a series of elderly people and children in Natalie Town, ranging from vomiting and edema all over the body, to breathing difficulties and convulsions, and bruises in many parts of the body. The purple swelling is like the blood vessels of the whole body are struggling to expand under the superficial skin, and even the flow of blood in the blood vessels can be seen clearly.

In addition to the people, the cats and dogs in the town also reacted one after another. The dog suddenly became more aggressive, barking at the sight of a living person, ready to pounce and bite at any time.

At night, when it's the cat's turn to join in, the town is filled with their baby-like howls mixed with the barking of dogs, and the quiet and peaceful town of Natalie is inexplicably reduced to a creepy ghost town.

Even the severe pain of his life after the loss of his wife and child, Chen Tongzhong, who was forced into a desperate situation, did not realize that the breath of death spit out by the god of death was spreading from his house to other homes. On the wife's death certificate, the doctor listed that the cause of death was acute myocardial infarction, so there were no branches in the entire funeral process.

Returning from Suifenhe City with the urn in his hand, Chen Tongzhong sat in the empty hall for two days in a dementia. Grief drained his whole body, let alone stand up, he didn't even have the strength to lie down. The ground within a foot of his feet was full of cigarette butts, and if it weren't for the fact that one of them was still lit with a single spark, it would give people the illusion that he had sat down like a monk.

"Bang bang bang~" At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Even if there was a nine-magnitude earthquake, Chen Tongzhong didn't want to move, he was willing to smash the collapsed ceiling to death. Everything in the outside world has long been irrelevant to him, and he imagines that he is now a cold corpse, and the rapid and heavy knock on the door gradually fades away, and soon the world around him will fall into the emptiness of death.

However, he was still alive after all, and since death was just wishful thinking, it was impossible for the knocking on the door to really stop. The visiting one was relentless, and expressed his determination to see the mayor of the town with a "bang" like thunder. The two sides were deadlocked for five minutes, and finally Chen Tongzhong compromised, barely dragged two legs that seemed to be tied to a stone mill to stand up, and walked over to open the door.

Outside the door stood Pingzhang's sister-in-law from the Pingzhang commissary. This woman is in her thirties, not to mention five big and three thick, and her skin is as black as coal from the Baisong Coal Mine. It is said that before marrying Natalie from the next village, she followed her father to kill pigs for several years.

"Ahem, ahem...... Mayor Chen, something big has happened, you can take a look! ”

As soon as the door opened, the heavy smell of smoke came to her nose, choking Pingzhang's sister-in-law coughing a few times, but she didn't care about complaining, and shouted at Chen Tongzhong without a head, it was called a full of energy, and it was estimated that it would not be her turn if the people in the town were all convulsed.

"Something big...... Hehe, could there be something bigger? ”

This is Chen Tongzhong's inner answer, and when he said it, there were only three indifferent words left: "What's wrong?" ”

Probably because she had a good idea of her ability to express herself, Pingzhang's sister-in-law used her limbs together, stomped her feet and gestured and said: "The boss has a team of soldiers in the town, and they insist that we have an infectious disease here, and we have to prevent it from spreading to other places, so we have to close the town!" Those people wore full white coats in military uniforms, and they wore big masks on their faces, and they were scared to death just like this! ”

To illustrate how terrible those soldiers were, she vigorously covered her nose with her two round fleshy hands, revealing only a pair of small eyes, and blinking in horror.

Chen Tongzhong didn't have time to speak, but she seemed to think of something more important, or more terrifying, this time she didn't cover herself, grabbed Chen Tongzhong's arm, and said in a crying voice: "They still say...... He also said......"

"Oops, what else are you talking about? Tell me well! Chen Tongzhong accentuated his tone.
