Fatal Game Syndrome

Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu sat lazily on the terrace. It was already January, but this winter was not very cold. The sunshine felt warm on their bodies.

It will take some time for the next door to open, and it has been almost two months since the last live broadcast. The time for the next live broadcast has not been decided yet, and the netizens are waiting for the news under the official blog every day.

"so boring!"

Hearing him say that he was bored, Ruan Lanzhu immediately perked up, opened his eyes and sat up straight, "Bored? How about we go back to the villa?"

Ling Jiushi opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him and chuckled twice. He had long seen through Ruan Lanzhu's cunning mind.

Seeing that his wife ignored him, Ruan Lanzhu let out a sigh of relief and lay back in the chair. It’s not that Obsidian is bad, it’s just that there are too many light bulbs, and there is no chance for him to have the world of two people he wants.

While they were basking in the sun, they heard hurried footsteps from behind. They both turned their heads to look over. Ling Jiushi thought it was Cheng Qianli, who had just pestered him to eat hotpot, but he didn't expect that the person who came up was Chen Fei.

"What's wrong, Chen Fei?"

The two looked at each other and sat up. Given Chen Fei's personality, he was rarely seen so anxious. Now he looked like this, it must be that something big had happened.

"Oh no!"

As expected! The verdict was announced right away.

"The director said the show recording is suspended!"

Ling Jiushi was stunned. The program was suspended? Is this a big deal?

"We heard a few days ago that the virus has now broken out on a large scale. After receiving the news from above, all program recordings have been suspended."

Chen Fei frowned tightly, "I feel that the situation is getting more and more serious. If this trend continues, everyone will inevitably be infected!"

Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi also realized the seriousness of the matter. They saw a lot of rumors on the Internet, but everyone thought that they were just rumors to attract attention as usual. They didn’t expect that they would break out now!

As a doctor, Chen Fei had always been paying attention to this matter, but the current development was completely beyond his expectations. It came so suddenly and inexplicably that he was caught off guard.

"This matter is very strange, we must be prepared!"

Ling Jiushi didn't dare to think too much about what Chen Fei said about being prepared, as he was afraid that the things in the movie would really become reality.

"We have no experience with this, so we can only prepare for the worst-case scenario."

When the three of them went downstairs, everyone was already in the living room downstairs. At this time, everyone was silent, each holding a mobile phone and browsing the information online.

"Don't look any further!"

Chen Fei pushed up his glasses and said, "This kind of news will cause panic, and the authorities will not allow it to appear in the eyes of the public."

"We don't know anything about the virus right now, but we need to be prepared in advance. You've all read a lot of doomsday movies and novels, right? Let's think about what we should prepare and talk about it so we can fill in the gaps together."

Ling Jiushi searched for the list of doomsday items and took a look. He wondered if they really needed to go this far.

"Chen Fei, you prepare the medicines. You know more about this virus than we do. Prepare more medicines for the corresponding symptoms."

"it is good!"

Chen Fei agreed and kept looking through the relevant information in his hands, thinking about what to prepare.

"Sister Lu, please take care of the food and daily necessities. The New Year is coming soon. It's better to prepare more things to be prepared."

"Row!"

Lu Yanxue nodded, took out a small notebook and started making a list. She used to run a private restaurant, so she had more convenient channels to buy things. Guan Nanshan, who was staying at Obsidian, came over and whispered to her, with no intention of going back at all.

However, things developed faster than expected. When everyone was happily preparing to go home for the New Year, the virus had already reached a point where it was out of control.

At this time, Chen Fei, Lu Yanxue and the Obsidian people had already prepared everything. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, local officials announced a city lockdown.

"Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise!"

Watching the video that went viral on the Internet, the people of Obsidian were not having a good time. It was supposed to be a festive day, but the city was empty, with no pedestrians or cars, as if a world inside the door suddenly shone into reality.

However, as time passed, the virus became more and more contagious, and the situation outside became more and more serious. Everyone faced not only the threat to life from the virus, but also the embarrassment caused by food shortages due to being unable to go out.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at Chen Fei opposite him. Chen Fei was now wearing a white protective suit, his face was covered tightly, and there was a small suitcase at his feet.

"Ok!"

Chen Fei nodded, "Manman, please keep an eye on it!"

As a doctor, Chen Fei has made plans to go to the front line, where there are thousands of patients in need of help. His ability is limited and he cannot save everyone, but it would be good if he could save one more person.

But he didn't dare tell Yi Manman his thoughts, for fear that he would insist on following him, so he could only leave quietly while he was still sleeping.

"Do not worry!"

Ling Jiushi's eyes were filled with worry, "Be careful."

"Okay! This virus is transmitted through the respiratory tract. Even though you are at home, you still need to take precautions!"

After saying that, Chen Fei prepared to leave with his suitcase. When he passed the stairs, he paused, looked upstairs, and walked out the door with firm steps.

But he didn't know that after he left, Yi Manman went downstairs right away, looking out the window without saying a word, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Are you okay, Manman?"

Ling Jiushi felt that Yi Manman was now a bit like she was before she bit him, absent-minded and often distracted.

"what?"

Yi Manman was stunned for a moment before she shook her head and said it was okay, then her eyes moved to the window again.

"Tell me, what's the difference between this and the end of the world?"

Ling Jiushi curled up on the sofa and listened to the crying and shouting on TV. Some people died and there were still people crying for them, but some people lost their entire family and didn't even have anyone to care about them.

"some!"

Ruan Lanzhu touched his neck. "There is no hope for the end of the world, but we have hope now. At least, the broken limbs and rampant demons in the movies have not appeared. Everyone will help each other, and the rule of law has not collapsed. The order of our society can still be maintained."

"Don't worry, with the authorities here, we will find a solution sooner or later."

"Besides, I have used my connections to get a batch of supplies, which will be delivered to Chen Fei tomorrow at the latest. Everything will be fine!"

Medical resources are extremely tight nowadays, and Ruan Lanzhu had to use a lot of connections to get a batch of supplies, which are now being loaded onto trucks at full speed and prepared to be sent to the front line.

"Brother Ruan!"

Guo Xiaoying came over from the kitchen. "I think the current situation is not very good. Although there are few people here, who knows if the virus will spread here with the flow of air?"

"So, how about we all move in during this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over. This seemed to be a solution!

"But it's too dangerous inside the door!"

Guan Nanshan didn't quite agree. Although there was no virus in it, was there something that could directly take their lives?

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Lu Yanxue raised the shovel and waved it, and Guan Nanshan immediately stopped cutting vegetables obediently.

Ruan Lanzhu looked at Ling Jiushi. He had the same idea. In fact, he had always been worried that Ling Jiushi would be infected. Going inside would indeed be a good way to avoid the virus.

“Ling Ling…”

Ling Jiushi was a little hesitant. Time passed too slowly inside the door and it was very difficult to go in.

"What about you?"

"Of course I'll go in with you!" Ruan Lanzhu said matter-of-factly. "As for you guys, you're in good physical condition and won't be infected. As long as there's no obsidian, you can go anywhere you want!"

Several people looked at each other, and now they couldn't go out, so they might as well go inside!

Moreover, there is free food inside the door. Although you can’t ask for the taste, it will fill you up!

"How about we all go in?"

Cheng Qianli looked at everyone. He wanted to go in with his brother, but it was too boring to be with his brother. It would be better for everyone to go in and play cards together.

"I'll just stay outside and look after the house!"

Yi Manman suddenly said, "Someone has to stay at home."

"I want to stay outside, too!" Xu Jin winked at Ling Jiushi, "I haven't finished watching the TV series yet. Fortunately, Cheng Qianli doesn't snatch the TV from me. This time I want to finish watching it all in one go!"

She knew that everyone was worried about Yi Manman being alone outside, so she found a reason to stay.

"Row!"

Ruan Lanzhu agreed. He also understood that Yi Manman was worried that Chen Fei wanted to stay outside. Besides, the door was not completely locked, so if anything happened they could come out at any time.

"Shall we go directly to the twelfth door?"

After packing up the things they needed to take, Cheng Yixie distributed the bracelets to everyone. Among the people present, only a few normal people like Ling Jiushi needed the bracelets, while everyone else could freely travel behind any door.

"Let's stay in the place where Qianli and the others live for a while. We don't know when this virus will disappear. The time in the world behind the door is too slow. If we stay in there for hundreds of years, the virus outside may not be over by the time we come out."

Ling Jiushi pushed the door and walked in. It was quite spacious inside, but with so many people living together there was no privacy at all. Ruan Lanzhu took Li Dongyuan, Cheng Yixie and Guan Nanshan to the twelfth door and got several screens and beds. Finally, everyone had a decent temporary room.

“What an amazing feeling!”

Ling Jiushi put his head on Ruan Lanzhu's shoulder. It wasn't because they were being too affectionate, but because the bed was a little small.

However, the person who went to find the bed was Ruan Lanzhu, and I don’t know if he did it on purpose.

"What's so wonderful?"

When Ruan Lanzhu spoke, her lips inevitably touched Ling Jiushi's forehead, and her warm breath sprayed on his face, making him feel itchy.

“It’s that feeling of going through hard times together.”

Ruan Lanzhu put her hand on his waist and patted him, "I will be with you through all the difficulties in the future."

"Ok!"

Thank you for your love. I love you guys.
