what's in the depths

Zhu Yuhan drove the elder brother's body to the hospital to see if there was a chance of life, but the car was blocked at the intersection in front of the hospital, and the situation was the same when he changed to another hospital.

Patients and their families were piled up at the door, holding the dead bodies and crying, while the disinfection vehicle drove slowly through the crowd, spraying large quantities of disinfectant on the people on the side of the road.

Zhu Yuhan was dumbfounded, and hurriedly called the police station to ask them to deal with it, but the forensic department refused to accept him who died of herpes again, and said that a young police officer in the medical department had the same situation, suspected be infected.

The dead body emits an unpleasant smell under the high temperature, which can be smelled through a thick mask.

What Lao Li meant was to let him notify the family members of the deceased first, and ask them to come and deal with it. Now the police station is in a mess, and he is powerless to manage it.

"Why, what happened at the police station?" Zhu Yuhan asked anxiously, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Lao Li was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"The police department came just now, and told all the police officers from the police stations below to gather at the square in front of the police station tonight. We probably will start isolating the citizens in the hardest-hit areas."

Hearing these words, Zhu Yuhan felt like a basin of cold water fell from the sky.

To put it bluntly, isolating citizens in the hardest-hit areas means blocking all roads in this area, so that people outside cannot enter and those inside cannot exit. To put it more bluntly, everyone is planning to give up the people in this area.

"Everyone, no one will be left." Lao Li's voice sounded cold and emotionless, "Also, our police station will be transferred to the adjacent area tomorrow, so you should come back as soon as possible to pack your things."

"Wait a minute, I want to ask, what if it is confirmed that there are no infected people."

"It will be divided into two camps. Uninfected people are also regarded as potential infected people. They will be concentrated in one camp and supplies will be distributed regularly. Those who are infected or have symptoms will be concentrated in another camp. Treat and study the origin of the disease, you don’t need to ask too much, just do what you should do.”

"Then what is the difference between the citizens of this area and the animals in captivity? They receive supplies from their superiors, eat, drink, and scatter in the camp? They are human beings, not mindless animals!" Zhu Yuhan roared, tears unconsciously The ground followed and fell.

"Then you give me a better solution. Before the infection spreads to the whole city, it is the only way to isolate the citizens in the infected area in time. I said, you don't need to meddle in your own business. You can manage it."

Old Li said lightly: "What we have to do now is to minimize casualties, and the citizens will understand us."

Zhu Yuhan clenched his hands tightly, the desperation under the scorching sun completely defeated him to the ground.

He has been busy with other things for the past few days, but he did not expect that the infection has spread to the whole district so seriously.

Sometimes, for the sake of overall development, it is necessary to reluctantly give up some things.

This decision is correct, but to put it bluntly, the source of infection has not been detected and no effective anti-infection drugs have been developed. All the people in this area are just locked up here waiting to die.

There are many people I know well in this district. I have been wandering here since I entered the police station. It has been ten years since I have been wandering around like this.

Uncle Zhang who sells hand-rolled noodles next to the police station, Uncle Li, the left-behind old man who reported his disappearance every day just to find someone to play chess with him, little sister Shi Lingyi who wrapped his hands around him and told her stories, including... Chu Rong.

Yes, they were all dropped.

The laughter and laughter of the past were broken in an instant. There is really a saying that the future will never escape accidents.

Zhu Yuhan sat down on the hot asphalt road as if he lost his strength. Hearing Zhizhi's endless yelling, the blood in his body seemed to be drained in an instant, leaving only a symbolic empty heart beating.

In the empty central square, the scene where the crowds were like a sea tide is still vivid, but now, only the news of the outbreak of infection is continuously broadcast on the large LED screen. The bird on the head, it struggled twice, and finally flew away with flapping wings.

On that day, all types of police officers in the city, including the special forces dispatched by superiors, set up a high protective net on the area dividing line. Countless citizens were blocked in the net, and the two worlds were also separated.

Zhu Yuhan took off the mask of the protective clothing and looked at the screaming, cursing and crying crowd. There were elderly people who were not able to walk, pregnant women with big bellies, and children who were still silly because they didn't know. People, it hurts too much.

why.

Why have you come to this point today?What are they doing wrong?

A pregnant woman who looked like she was seven or eight months pregnant was holding onto the protective net tightly with both hands, her hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to her face in embarrassment. She pursed her lips and asked softly, "Are you planning to give up on us?"

Old Li let out a long sigh, shook his head, turned around and couldn't bear to look any further.

Tong Si squeezed over, grabbed Lao Li's sleeve, and asked with red eyes: "My sister is still inside, she is not infected, and she is not in good health, the environment inside is too bad, Chief, Let me be accommodating, can you bring her out?"

Lao Li suddenly turned his head and glared at Tong Si: "How could this precedent be set for you? If it was really an infection caused by the water source, no one inside would be able to escape. What about your sister? She is also a potential threat to the infection. Do you want me to let her go?" Come out and continue to harm other people?"

Tong Si choked with sobs. He turned his head and looked at Tong Qi, who was still holding the students to comfort them. For the first time, he felt that he was so useless. He was facing such a crisis, but he couldn't even protect his most important person, and even set up a protective shield. net, and personally cut off her way of life.

Tong Qi squeezed into the crowd, her fair face was flushed red by the scorching sun, he looked up at his younger brother outside the protective net, and saw him pleading with the deputy bureau for his self-esteem, slowly shook his head, and then used his mouth Xing told Tongsi:

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

So, before everyone could react, Tong Si suddenly jumped off the anti-riot vehicle and climbed onto the protective net.

When everyone saw it, they rushed to stop him, but Tong Si kicked him away.

He climbed over the protective net, passed through the crowd trying to squeeze outside, and went in reverse.

When Tong Qi saw it, he kept waving his hands to tell him to leave quickly. Tong Si took a deep breath, and he reached out and grabbed Tong Qi's clothes tightly, dragged her to his side and hugged her tightly, stroking her sweaty hair.

"It doesn't matter, I will accompany you, whether it is life or death, I will accompany you." Tong Si put a soft tone and tried to comfort him.

Tong Qi burst into tears with a "wow".

No matter how fierce and strong she is, she is just an ordinary woman. Her husband is on a business trip abroad, and she is the only one at home. She was disturbed by the outbreak of the infection, but she was notified that the area was to be sealed off. The notice sounded high-sounding, but when I thought about it carefully, it was because I was also a potential infected person. In order to prevent the infection situation from getting worse, I had no choice but to isolate myself. Once I entered this area, life and death were not up to me.

"I'm so scared, your brother-in-law is not here, you are not here, no one cares about me, no one cares about me, but I don't want to die like this, I am also afraid of being infected by the water source, then I must be infected too, you know? I'm so scared."

Tong Qi choked, and began to speak indiscriminately.

"It's okay, from now on, I will always be with you, don't worry, everything will be fine in the future."

As far as the current situation is concerned, this sentence "it will be fine in the future" reveals a deep paleness.

No one knows what will happen in the future, whether it is good or bad, everyone, after all, is one step slower than the accident——

Zhu Yuhan took out his mobile phone, called Chu Rong, and asked about his current situation. Chu Rong hung up the phone after saying nothing.

The citizens were tired after a day of fuss in front of the protective net. In the evening, everyone obediently underwent a full body check and entered the corresponding camp.

They are lying on the simple blankets in the camp, and the strings in their bodies are always tensed. The people next to them will attract the attention of others when they cough a little. Everyone wears masks and does not eat or drink. Virus carrier.

After walking through the long camp, Zhu Yuhan finally found Chu Rong in the corner. He was sitting on a blanket reading a book under the dim light, still the same "Wuthering Heights".

"Take a break." Zhu Yuhan took out a bag of beef jerky from his protective clothing for a long time and handed it over, whispering, "I brought this from outside, and I'll make a small stove for you."

The food uniformly distributed by the superiors is nothing more than dry bread with mineral water, and even the tasteless ones are not enough to eat.

Chu Rong put down his book and looked up at him: "Why are you here?"

"I'm worried about you, come and have a look." Zhu Yuhan smiled forcedly, "I told you to move to my place earlier, but you didn't go."

Looking at this shabby and stuffy camp, it would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed.

Chu Rong also smiled and reached out to take the bag of beef jerky.

"How's the prickly heat on your back?" Zhu Yuhan asked in a low voice.

"That's it." Chu Rong chewed on the beef jerky and looked sloppy.

The voices of the two seemed to disturb the woman with the child next to her. She rolled her eyes at the two, reached out and patted her son's belly and sang nursery rhymes to lull him to sleep.

"I even brought prickly heat powder, please wipe it off for you, the environment is so bad, you are going to suffer." Zhu Yuhan said and started to lift Chu Rong's T-shirt.

Chu Rong suddenly raised his hand to hold him down, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "I said it's fine."

Zhu Yuhan still didn't give up, and forcibly pulled Chu Rong's clothes like a hooligan: "Why are you shy, this is the time, try to make yourself more comfortable."

But I don't know if it was a hallucination. During the dispute between the two, Zhu Yuhan accidentally saw those small red bumps from Chu Rong's neckline.

Zhu Yuhan opened his eyes wide and looked at Chu Rong in disbelief:

"you……"

Chu Rong glanced at the woman next to him, then shook his head silently at Zhu Yuhan.

"You shouldn't be..." Zhu Yuhan felt as if someone had knocked a sap from behind, his brain was buzzing, and his heart was throbbing.

Chu Rong looked at him with cold eyes, then Chu Rong nodded slowly.

"Did it... after the physical examination?"

Chu Rong still nodded.

There are two camps, the uninfected area and the infected area. If there is still a ray of life in the uninfected area, then the people in the infected area are really waiting to die with their eyes open. The death time did not exceed one month. Judging from Chu Rong's current situation, it was probably a symptom of the mid-term infection. That is to say, if he did not receive treatment, he would only be alive for more than ten days at most.

No, even treatment is useless.

The woman next to him patted his son on the shoulder and whispered, "Come on, baby, let's get up and pee."

The child rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, followed his mother to go to the bathroom.

Seeing the woman leave, Zhu Yuhan stretched out his hands to hold Chu Rong's shoulders, trying to calm himself down:

"Come with me, I'll take you to treatment."

Chu Rong smiled lightly: "It's useless, I can't get out."

"I know there's a special passage here. They may see that you're a policeman, and they might be accommodating. Put on your clothes and follow me!" Zhu Yuhan said, his voice suddenly raised an octave.

A middle-aged man with alopecia areata crawled over immediately, pulled Zhu Yuhan's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Officer, please take me out too. I haven't found my wife and children yet. I don't know what happened to them, too. It's a toss, if this goes on, I'm going to go crazy, please."

As he said that, the uncle took out his wallet, pulled out a thick wad of hundred-yuan bills, and stuffed it into Zhu Yuhan's pocket without any trace: "Ah, police officer, please be accommodating."

Zhu Yuhan was in a difficult situation. He really wanted to take everyone away, but the problem was that everyone was on the cusp of the storm, and everyone was staring at even the slightest chance of escaping from this place. Once he set this precedent, Just being hungry can hardly appease the rest.

"Uncle, it's not easy for me to do this. My ability is limited, and I really have more than enough energy. If you bear with it, you can go out after you develop an anti-infective drug."

When the uncle heard this, he refused, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhu Yuhan's wrist, and said in a low voice, "If you don't agree to me, I will call now and call everyone here. No one can leave today, so let's die together."

"Don't do this with me."

"I really yelled."

"Let's discuss it again. I will take this police officer out first, and then I will come back and find a way to send you out. You can see if this is okay." Zhu Yuhan finally compromised.

"No, I don't know you policemen yet? You put it nicely, you turn your face away." The uncle said contemptuously.

"Why do you have alopecia areata and don't eat oil, salt, soft and hard? I promise you that you won't break your promise. Let me go first."

"Are you a policeman still attacking personally? No matter, we will walk together today, and we will die together."

The uncle lay down on the ground, grabbed Zhu Yuhan's hand and started playing around.

Seeing the two of them quarreling, everyone's eyes gathered in an instant. Zhu Yuhan was afraid of sweeping away the surprise, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I know, I really can't do anything about you."

Just as the words fell, several police officers in protective clothing suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp, followed by the woman who took the child to pee.

Zhu Yuhan immediately became alert and blocked Chu Rong with his body.

The woman pointed to this side, and the police officers nodded, trotted over, looked at Zhu Yuhan, and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

"Why, can't you visit your friends?"

Zhu Yuhan's nervous hands were shaking, and his mouth was still stiff.

The few police officers didn't bother to waste their words with him, so they stood up and dragged Zhu Yuhan to the side, while the other police officers rushed forward, pulled Chu Rong up from the blanket, ripped off his T-shirt, and looked at it. , covering the gas mask, waved his hand:

"take away."

Zhu Yuhan panicked and struggled vigorously: "Where are you going to take him!"

The few police officers ignored him, and the leader turned around and shouted loudly to everyone in the camp:

"Citizens, please pay attention. If you find someone who is infected or has signs of infection, please notify the police immediately so that we can isolate them in time."

Quarantine... that is to say, to bring Chu Rong to the infected area?

The woman stood aside, shrinking her body, covering her child's mouth and nose with one hand, staring at Chu Rong with cold eyes and even a trace of hatred.

"Damn it! This is Chief Chu of the Forensic Medicine Department of the General Bureau of Criminal Investigation! Are you blind?!" Zhu Yuhan thumped his feet and yelled loudly.

The leading policeman turned his head and looked down upon Zhu Yuhan: "Let's not talk about Section Chief Chu, even Director Hu will be quarantined once he is infected. This is for the sake of other citizens. Human lives are at stake. You can't mess around here."

A long water pipe was pulled outside, and a policeman took out his walkie-talkie and said coldly, "Open the gate."

The disinfectant from the high-pressure water gun was sprayed at Chu Rong. He couldn't bear the strong pressure, and he staggered and sat on the ground. Even so, those people still had no intention of stopping, and there was even a policeman He walked over and lifted Chu Rong's clothes, pulled him, and asked another police officer to spray him on the back.

Chu Rong was like a drowned chicken, slowly kneeling on the ground, and the disinfectant on his body dripped on the ground, forming a puddle of water.

"Okay, take it away." The leading police officer waved his hand, and then walked out of the camp first.

The others, either looking at him indifferently or in panic, shrank themselves into the corner and stayed as far away from him as possible.

Zhu Yuhan's eyes were red, like a trapped animal with its limbs tied up, he could only stare blankly, but could do nothing.

Several people pulled Chu Rong up from the ground and pushed him outside.

"Chu Rong..." Zhu Yuhan clenched his teeth and suppressed tears, "Don't worry, I will find a way to take you away."

Chu Rong stopped in his tracks, turned his head, looked at Zhu Yuhan, and smiled:

"Goodbye by fate."

Goodbye bye.

This is the cruelest sentence.

After they took Chu Rong away, the two police officers who had been holding down Zhu Yuhan reluctantly let go:

"You are also a captain anyway. You don't know what to do or not to do? Playing with the lives of more than a billion people? Either poison or stupid."

They are right, they are really poisonous and stupid, and now they still firmly believe that Chu Rong's body is just prickly heat, and they are still thinking about how to take him away from here.

Chu Rong saved himself twice, but he could only watch him die.

I am really useless.

Shi Shiran walked out of the camp, Zhu Yuhan stood helplessly under the night sky, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Xiao Liu slowly walked up to him, looked at the wet tears on his face, and scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "I know you and Chu Forensic Doctor are on good terms, but there is no way, no one can predict the future in advance, some things are destined It's unavoidable."

Zhu Yuhan looked at the moon, bathed in the soft and quiet moonlight, closed his eyes gently, and seemed to be asking and talking to himself:

"When I was young, my mother often told me that the world is suffering, so she hoped that I could become a policeman and save those who are still living in dire straits. I have been a policeman for ten years, and I have saved and helped many people. , but in the end, I couldn’t even save my most important friend. In the past, I never doubted myself, and I was even quite proud, but today, I especially want to ask myself, am I really a qualified policeman?”

Xiao Liu sighed softly, and patted Zhu Yuhan on the shoulder: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much."

Zhu Yuhan opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Liu, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I didn't blame myself, I just felt sad for Chu Rong, he suffered too much, even if he died, no one would feel sorry for him except me , so, even if you are sad for a while, there is nothing wrong with it."

Xiao Liu nodded: "I understand, well, Team Zhu, I'll take over, you go back to rest, get a good sleep, everything will pass when you wake up tomorrow."

Zhu Yuhan sniffed, took off the protective clothing and handed it to Xiao Liu: "Then I'll go back first, you help me put the clothes there, thank you."

The car slowly drove away from the infected area, its headlights illuminating the road ahead.

The huge city has become desolate and lonely overnight, with almost no people in sight, like a dead city with no popularity.

Yes, at the moment of being isolated, everyone's hearts were already dead.

Only the unbearable pain with every jump still clearly reminds me that I am still alive.

Opening the door, Adu greeted him first, followed by the standard Fu Huaiyu questioning.

"Do you know what time it is..."

"I know it's twelve o'clock now." Zhu Yuhan interrupted him.

"Why are you so indifferent? I haven't thought of me for so long when I've been away from work." Fu Huaiyu stepped forward and put his arms around his waist, coquettishly like a little girl.

"Sorry, I'm not in the mood to care about this right now." Zhu Yuhan pushed him away, took off his shoes and went straight to the bedroom.

"Is it because of the isolation?" Fu Huaiyu chased after him, like a puppy waiting for his master to pet him.

Zhu Yuhan didn't speak, lying on the bed, looking at the dazzling chandelier on the ceiling.

"Isolation is normal. It's impossible to give up the entire forest for a single tree. It's human nature. You really can't be hypocritical about this."

Seeing that Zhu Yuhan was still silent, Fu Huaiyu took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, hugged his small waist, and rubbed his neck affectionately: "Okay, I know you value love and righteousness, but if you Everyone who is quarantined is sad, are you tired?"

"Chu Rong is infected."

Zhu Yuhan interrupted the chattering Fu Huaiyu.

Fu Huaiyu was taken aback: "Who are you talking about?"

"Chu Rong was, infected." Zhu Yuhan sat up and pushed Fu Huaiyu away, "He has now been sent to the infected area, where there are all infected people, all waiting to die."

But at the moment when he said this, the expression on Fu Huaiyu's face was neither jealous nor surprised, but puzzled.

"You said he was infected? Are you sure that person is Chu Rong?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, how do you want me to be sure, do DNA comparison!" Zhu Yuhan shouted, "I said I am not in the mood to talk to you now! Get out, go farther away!"
