Chapter 107 - 107: Prion Virus
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Yes, there’s no cure. Once you’re infected, you can only wait for death.”
Lin Sijia’s expression was a little heavy. Ye Xingchen reached out and pinched her face.
As a doctor, Lin Sijia didn’t want to see anyone die.
However, she knew very well that these people deserved it.
The reason why they were infected with the prion virus was because they killed their own kind and ate their own kind.
It was hateful but also very pitiful. After all, in this apocalypse, they…
“Alright, what are you thinking about? Don’t be unhappy. What else did you cook tonight besides curry beef? It smells so good! Let’s eat!”
Ye Xingchen pulled Lin Sijia’s hand and walked to the dining table. He even changed Lin Sijia’s seat and moved her so she was facing away from the screen.
Ye Xingchen had only lived for a little over a month in his previous life after the apocalypse began. He was very unfamiliar with what would happen in the future of this world. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy when he looked at the screen.
The curry beef tonight was very delicious. Mo Qi had lost her appetite because of the bloody scene, but she still ate two big bowls of rice with curry sauce and drank two bowls of tom yum soup.
In order to comfort Lin Sijia tonight, Ye Xingchen went upstairs to take a shower and sleep without finishing a movie.
“It’s okay. I’ll watch you wash.”
Lin Sijia was originally a little depressed, but at this time, Ye Xingchen was guarding her bathroom door and refused to leave. She couldn’t help but blush. “Aiya, you, go sit on the sofa. You’re so obnoxious!”
Ye Xingchen laughed as if his prank had succeeded. “Okay, okay, okay. 1’11 listen to Miss Lin. Hurry up and wash up. 1’11 wait for you to come out.”
It wasn’t too late. When Lin Sijia turned around and went into the bathroom, Ye Xingchen glanced at the clock hanging on the living room wall. It was not even eight o’clock at night.
Lin Sijia locked the bathroom door, and Ye Xingchen pulled out the surveillance footage from the neighborhood.
The pool of blood on the ground at the door had already turned dark red. Qian Zhong and Zhang Sen had been gnawed clean. The two piles of bones on the ground could be used as skeleton models if they were washed.
Their clothes were torn to shreds and scattered around them.
The eight visitors had already disappeared.
Although the snow had stopped, the wind was still blowing. Ye Xingchen zoomed in and tried to see where the footprints on the ground went. After all, it was dark outside. Although his camera had night vision, it was not as clear as the human eye after zooming in.
“Sigh, 1 wonder where those people went. Who are they?”
Ye Xingchen thought for a moment. Those who could come to his side were probably people from this city. After all, if they came from other cities, they would have died on the road long ago.
Lin Sijia showered very quickly. She didn’t wash her hair today. When she came out, she was wearing a wine-red silk nightgown that Ye Xingchen had given her a few days ago.
“Alright, let’s go to sleep.”
The redness on Lin Sijia’s face had yet to fade. She pinched the strap of her nightgown and walked shyly to the bed.
Ye Xingchen had already zoomed out the screen and placed it in a corner when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Then, he turned off the projector.
When Lin Sijia came out of the bathroom, Ye Xingchen stood up from the sofa and went up to her.
Lin Sijia, who had just come out of the bath, had a faint fragrance that was even more obvious. Ye Xingchen couldn’t help but hug her.
“You smell so good, Jiajia.”
Ye Xingchen’s big hands were not obedient. Ye Xingchen wandered around Lin Sijia’s body for a long time…
After a round of exercise, Lin Sijia was so tired that she fell asleep.
Ye Xingchen got down from Lin Sijia’s bed and thoughtfully covered her with the blanket. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Lin Sijia’s forehead. Then, he walked out of the room and locked Lin Sijia’s door.
It was already io o’clock on the clock outside. Ye Xingchen walked out of the sixth floor and locked the door of the sixth floor before slowly returning to the seventh floor to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Ye Xingchen went to the control room on the seventh floor and pulled out the surveillance camera at the entrance of Jinghua District today.
Double-clicking on the screen to enlarge, Ye Xingchen captured the scene of those people standing at the entrance of the community and sent it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao was a good person and had a good relationship with many people from the security company. He would occasionally go for a drink with them. His network was also very wide.
Turning off the lights in the central control room, Ye Xingchen locked the door and went back to his room. Zhao Hao didn’t respond. Ye Xingchen looked up at the clock and realized that it was already past one in the morning. He quickly went back to bed to sleep.
After waking up, Ye Xingchen, whose biological clock was constant, woke up at about the same time as usual. He first went to unlock Lin Sijia’s room and then went downstairs to unlock Mo Qi’s door.
After all the preparations were done, Ye Xingchen and Mo Qi sat on the sofa in the living room on the sixth floor and he started to look at his phone.
Zhao Hao replied early in the morning: “These people are Zheng Huaqiang and the others. The one in the front is Zheng Huaqiang. I’ve seen the people behind him before. They’re all Zheng Huaqiang’s underlings, but I don’t remember their names.”
Ye Xingchen was a little surprised when he saw this answer. He originally thought that those people were strangers, but he did not expect them to be old acquaintances.
Zheng Huaqiang had come to Jinghua District before and even fought with Ye Xingchen. However, he had always been wearing a scarf and a mask on his head, so Ye Xingchen didn’t know what he looked like.
Now, he suddenly knew.
Knowing that it was Zheng Huaqiang, Ye Xingchen seemed to know why those people had obviously lost their minds but still came to their neighborhood.
Because they had been here before and were familiar with this place.
Besides, it was normal for them to be infected with this virus. Ye Xingchen remembered asking Zhao Hao about it before and roughly deduced that they had probably eaten sour meat for a long time.
However, what Ye Xingchen didn’t know was that the reason why so many people had eaten the sour meat but only a few were infected, at least for now, was indirectly because of him.
Because Ye Xingchen had shot a few of their brothers in the head when he tried the sniper rifle that day, Zheng Huaqiang had ordered his men to drag these dead brothers back.
The sour meat was stained with their brains, and Zheng Huaqiang also boiled everything in one pot. After eating too much of this, the prion virus went directly into their brains.
Ye Xingchen was more or less relieved. After all, they were old acquaintances and not some unfamiliar force that he did not know about..
