Chapter 570 Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder (17)

The top of the mountain was now overcrowded, and there were definitely no private rooms for two people, so they could only set up tents and live outside.

However, there are differences between inside and outside. Sleeping on the ground in public is one way, living in an open-air square and getting wet in the rain is another way. Another way is to find an abandoned building that can shelter you from the wind and rain.

Because both of them were volunteers and got along well with the staff at the top of the mountain, they were arranged to stay in an empty warehouse within the scope permitted by the rules.

There was nothing in the warehouse, it was not very big, and there were even fewer people living there.

When they arrived, there were only a few small tents scattered around.

Everyone was a stranger who didn't know each other, and there was no intention of greeting each other. Shen Yao found a relatively clean corner, then opened and spread out the tent she had brought with her, then sat in and sorted out the things she had brought with her.

All the things have been taken out of the room. The reason why Shen Yao did not move in was not because her roommate was sick, but to accommodate Xu Ningchen's schedule. As a volunteer, Xu Ningchen was transferred to the night team because of his outstanding performance. Such an abnormal time arrangement will inevitably affect the daily rest of the people living with him.

Based on this, they moved out of the room very smoothly.

As for the others, they can continue to live here after the disinfection is completed. After all, they can shelter from the wind and rain and take hot showers. They can't go outside in the rain with a tent just for a cold that they don't know how serious it is.

All I can say is that ignorance is bliss. Who would have thought that this was not just a simple cold?

“Put it away, if we go out a little further, there is a path leading down the mountain.

If anything unexpected happens, we can leave at any time."

Shen Yao stuffed a relatively heavy satellite phone into Xu Ningchen's hand. At present, their mobile phones had no signal, and these two satellite phones were obsolete devices that they had exchanged for medicine from the staff.

Since the equipment is obsolete, it is something that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Fortunately, they can still communicate in a simple way, and they both have a way to contact each other, so there is no possibility that they don't know each other's specific situation as long as they are far away.

"Don't worry, there are not many people here, and not many are willing to come here to settle down," Xu Ningchen pointed to the location of the warehouse. The buildings near the mountain are old, and there is really no extra place to accommodate the people going up the mountain at this time. Otherwise, who would be willing to come here with their families?

Shen Yao smiled and nodded, thinking that it would be safest with fewer people.

After watching Xu Ningchen leave in his raincoat, Shen Yao turned back to the tent and took advantage of the time when no one was watching to sort out the supplies in her space backpack. She also took the opportunity to replace two dry and thick quilts.

After finishing all the tasks at hand, Shen Yao finally had the mood to lie down and rest.

The sleepiness in her body came unexpectedly, and when Shen Yao opened her eyes, a new day had arrived.

The situation outside was getting worse.

Xu Ningchen's eyes were red. Staying up all night left him with no time to rest. And during the day, the warehouse was very noisy with people coming and going.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao took out the food from the space backpack and whispered about today's arrangements.

Xu Ningchen must stay and rest. She is still wearing a volunteer vest. Although the work on her hands is easy, she has to go.

"I'll ask about the situation in the city then. Seeing that the rain has not stopped, I guess the staff here have received the news."

Shen Yao raised her hand and touched her chin. She was actually more curious about the medical room's treatment plan. Infectious diseases are not slow to spread. If it is delayed, everyone on the top of the mountain will fall.

Xu Ningchen nodded, signaling Shen Yao to be careful when going out and to dodge and leave in time if she encountered any danger.

Shen Yao patted her chest and assured herself that she was definitely not stupid. If she encountered trouble, would she not avoid it but face it head-on? That was not her personality style.

After breakfast, Xu Ningchen took the opportunity to rest, and Shen Yao turned around and put on her raincoat to go out to work.

There were still only a few people at the registration desk, and compared to yesterday, the number of people was pitifully small.

Shen Yao asked and found out the reason. Because the other registration offices were busy, the team leader assigned several good workers directly to those places.

Although the volunteers receive wages and three free meals a day, the combination of meat and vegetables is more nutritious than bread, especially for families with many elderly and children, who all rely on these three meals a day to nourish their bodies.

Shen Yao didn't need to work so hard for the time being, so she just stayed at the registration office and slacked off.

Occasionally, when she is in a good mood, she will chat with other people around her about various gossips she heard from the system. Thanks to Shen Yao's selfless dedication, it is not easy for others to get it for free. So, if there is any inside information, everyone will reveal a little to Shen Yao.

"This is real?"

Shen Yao was surprised and covered her mouth with one hand, not knowing what to say.

The aunt who was speaking had a bit of financial resources in her family. She nodded with a reserved look, "Yes, the city is planning to unify the management of sick people. Although you look young and healthy, you still have to be careful.

That’s not just a common cold.” The auntie obviously knew more inside information, but due to various circumstances, she couldn’t elaborate on it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao nodded, thanked him solemnly, and said that she would keep his words in mind and make preparations as soon as she returned.

As for what to prepare?

Of course, I am ready to run away at any time. Do I have to be dragged back to the city to fend for myself?

Shen Yao didn't even consider going back to the city because it was destined to be a dead end.

The working hours were always too long. Even though Shen Yao only needed to work half a day, standing all the time was enough to test her endurance.

Fortunately, the team leader of this registration office is very friendly. He knows that it is not easy for Shen Yao and others. As long as they don't slack off too much (finish their work seriously), he will turn a blind eye to them the rest of the time.

Because of this, Shen Yao felt more confident and bold in slacking off here.

Two more days passed, and their life on the top of the mountain became increasingly severe. People kept falling ill and fainting, and were carried away by staff wrapped in protective clothing. The originally calm crowd became panic-stricken, and even though the authorities came out to appease them again and again, they still couldn't stop the rumors from spreading.

"It's just a fact. It's not groundless. Even the families of the patients don't know what the condition of those patients who were taken away is."

Shen Yao spread her hands helplessly and looked at Xu Ningchen who was in the tent with a conflicted look on her face.

Xu Ningchen had just returned from the night shift. His face was tired and his eyes were dark. He relied on his strong body (extra points), otherwise he would be lying in the medical room now.

"Let's get ready. We have to get down the mountain as soon as possible, by tomorrow night at the latest."

Xu Ningchen has seen a lot of chaos on the mountaintop recently. Compared to the leisurely time when Shen Yao goes to the registration office during the day, the mountaintop at night is the most terrifying.

For example, the boats that come from the city to transport people almost always arrive in the middle of the night and take the patients away quietly, which is very efficient.

They planned to leave tomorrow evening, but when they were about to leave, new developments arose.

"Hurry up and take people to the cafeteria, there are people making trouble there," a staff member shouted to the people at the registration desk, and then they all ran to the cafeteria.

It was not yet noon, and Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen had originally planned to leave in the evening.

Looking up at more and more people running towards the cafeteria, Shen Yao finally called Xu Ningchen and decided to leave without further delay.

Xu Ningchen closed the satellite phone in his hand, and then hurriedly put the things in the tent in order. He even gave up because it would take time to put away the tent above his head.

The two met beside the path before leaving the top of the mountain. Because not many people went out at noon, a large number of them went to the cafeteria to join in the fun, so the two of them left very relaxed.

When they reached a secluded place at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yao quickly put the luggage in Xu Ningchen's hand into her space backpack, and then the two of them went out wearing only raincoats, and their travel speed increased a lot instantly.

On this side, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen took the small path down the mountain. On the other side, the situation in the cafeteria was out of control. People kept shouting in panic, attracting more and more people to watch and get involved.

However, these had nothing to do with Shen Yao and the others. They were planning to go to the area behind Fengshan Mountain, which was an undeveloped forest with almost no buildings or facilities. However, it was surprisingly suitable for their survival.
