Doomsday city

Esses walked in the corridor, surrounded by countless prisoners coming and going.

She heard someone coughing and sneezing, and the voices that she would not pay attention to at ordinary times became clear after Mabel reminded her.

Henau virus attack?Disappeared for six years and reappeared?

"Hey, Essus, where have you been?" Frieda greeted her with a smile when she returned to the cell.

Essers recovered from her thoughts, she sat on her bed with a solemn expression, was stopped by the postman Cindy when she came out of the restaurant today, and was forcibly taken to Mabel Johnny's party. According to her, Essers It's also part of the 'team', but it's actually useful, Esses herself doesn't understand, she doesn't know how to fight and doesn't understand medicine, so what's the use of such a 'disabled person'?

"You look very pale, are you alright?" Frieda approached suddenly with a slightly cold hand on her forehead, making Essus stunned.

"I'm fine, I just have a headache, just lie down." Essers lay down on her back in embarrassment.

Frieda did not leave, but sat beside Esses, and said: "Many people on the Hellship have caught a cold, and the infirmary is full every day. My God, how can those people get well when they lie in the same room all day long? But if you are really sick, you'd better go lie down, I mean, it's better to get some medicine than nothing, as supplies are too scarce recently."

"What?" Esther frowned slightly, and turned to Frieda.

"Hey, don't you know?" Frieda's eyes widened in disbelief, her tone was very exaggerated, "It's been a month, and the daily labor work has become three days a week, and then changed to two days, and now it's only One day left, the outfield is no longer stationed, the food in the restaurant has become canned food, and the water bill has become more expensive, and it costs nearly ten yuan to take a shower, oh well, it’s not too bad, at least the bathroom is much quieter.”

Esther sat up abruptly, she was so confused that she didn't realize what was happening around her.

It all started a month ago, when Mabel lost contact with the art appraiser.

"Hey, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Frieda blinked and looked at Esther suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just... You know I don't have much money, and it affects me a lot." Esses hurriedly explained, but her anxiety and lies couldn't escape Frieda's clear eyes, too pale Their faces gradually approached until the tips of their noses touched the tips of their noses.

"Oh, Essus, you bad liar, do you think you can get away with just talking? I look so stupid?" The hot breath was on the corner of her lips as she spoke, and Frieda felt a strong smell. It has a light smell, that is the sweet smell of shower gel, "You have a secret, and it's a big secret, you can see it in your eyes."

"I can't say, Miss Frieda." Essus leaned back nervously.

"Okay!" The quick response caught people off guard, Frieda smiled and straightened her back to distance herself from Esses, "Forcing friends is wrong, and I won't make it difficult for you, after all, you are the only one I have on the Hellship. I won't stress you out, friend, I promise."

"Thank you for your understanding." Esses breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, but her intuition told her that Frieda's promise could not be trusted.

Frieda raised a bright smile, her canine teeth shone coldly, her smile was sincere, but her personality was unpredictable, Esther had no choice but to follow her wishes as much as possible, she didn't want to be the next A prisoner with a broken neck.

"However, even if you don't tell me, I can still guess nine out of ten," Frieda thought the questioning was over, but Frieda brought up the topic again, "Because I saw an interesting picture the day before yesterday, it was near the washing room, Oh, you don't know what I saw, this prison, I mean the Hellship, it's special."

When Frieda mentioned the washing room, Esther was covered in cold sweat immediately.

She remembered what she had seen, the hospital bed, the fester and the panicked guards.

"Well, this expression means you have seen it before? What a disappointment." Frieda spread her hands and shrugged.

"No, that..." Esses looked up at Frieda, and when those blue eyes, like the sunny bay, gradually deepened, Esses could only tell the truth, "But it's been a while, maybe Five days? Seven days? I'm not sure if it's the same as what you saw."

"Oh? What do you see?" Frieda crossed her legs on the bed, as if she was about to have a long talk with Esther.

Her reserved attitude made Essus hesitate. She didn't understand the meaning of Frieda's words, was she trying to say something?Or is it purely an inquiry?But her hesitation didn't last long, because Frieda's smiling eyes seemed to warn her not to play tricks.

"Hey, Essus, your silence is an insult to our friendship, am I stupid enough to hurt each other's trust?" Frieda tilted her head and said, her tone sounded aggrieved, "I am your friend , Esther, you can trust me completely, right?"

Esther pursed her lips, and said slowly, "I saw the hospital bed, and another... I'm not sure if it's a corpse, but 'he' festered badly, and there were two prison guards." She roughly saw the hospital bed that day. Described the scene again, and Frieda gradually put away her smile, as if she was seriously thinking about the incident that Esther said.

"Well, it's similar to what I saw that day, but what I saw wasn't festering," Frieda folded her arms around her chest, and said, "It's tearing, like a muscle being torn apart by a wild animal. The wound is deep enough to show bone. I can only say It's weird, what are the guards doing pushing that 'thing' into the laundry room? I mean, they're not going to do the 'thing''s laundry, are they?"

Esther couldn't help but laugh.

"Well, we'd better be careful, this is unusual," Frieda looked at Esses mysteriously, and leaned close to her ear as if whispering, "but I'm sure, something will happen in the near future, After all, my intuition is right."

Esther was terrified by Frieda, she couldn't imagine what would happen in the near future, but she vaguely felt terrible, the festering corpse she saw in the washing room, Frieda's information, Mabel lost contact with the outside world and Herno The virus and Vinoa York, these pieces of information seem to be brewing a storm, and this is just the beginning.

For several days in succession, more and more patients were suffering from colds on the Hellship, and the infirmary also urgently announced that all prisoners should reduce the frequency of leaving their cells, and the prison guards made a big move to carry out comprehensive disinfection, but the speed of spread was far faster than these precautions, and it didn't take long. It has become so serious that it is necessary to enforce isolation of severe patients and control the movement time of prisoners.

Losing their freedom, prisoners can only stay in their cells. They are only open for meals every day and wash for 10 minutes every hour, and the rest must stay behind iron bars.Esther is not a highly active prisoner, so staying in the cell doesn't bother her much, and after exchanging information with Frieda a while ago, the relationship between them is not so tense.

"This reminds me of an infectious disease from a long time ago. What is it called? Oh, it seems to be Herno?" Frieda lay on the pillow and said casually.

Esther looked up at her, and even without Mabel's reminder, everyone felt the same.

"That's right, it was Herno, oh, many people died at that time, and many of my friends also died of illness." Frieda turned over and lay on her back, she looked at the ceiling, and said lightly: "Actually, I have to live too, But I recovered without going to the hospital for treatment. At that time, my friends said I was a monster, and my body was incredibly strong."

"You didn't receive treatment?" Esses blinked in surprise. She remembered that the media once reported that the chance of recovery without drug treatment was only 30.00%.

"That's right, I don't even have money for food, how can I have money to see a doctor? Such a luxurious enjoyment is not for me," Frieda turned her head and looked at Esses, her eyes were full of smiles, "Then At that time, my life was worse than death every day, and it was easier to even think about dying, but I survived, and miraculously woke up one day without any ailments. To be honest, this disease is really strange, and it comes and goes quickly.”

Essus lowered her eyes, subconsciously clenched her hands and hesitated.

"I was also infected," she decided to say after a long while, "but my symptoms were very mild. At that time, I only had a fever. I had a high fever intermittently for a week. I was isolated in the clinic lounge. Only my father would come every day. He visited me, but he didn’t say that I was infected with Heno, after all, my symptoms are not as bad as others.”

"Really? Then I don't know. I just remember vomiting and diarrhea. I was dizzy all day long. I couldn't even drink water. I think if I didn't die of illness, I might die of thirst." Frieda laughed. It was brilliant, but Esther was full of sadness. She felt scared as long as she thought it might be the Hernau virus. Besides, she didn't know if the 'things' she saw in the washing room had anything to do with this infectious disease.

"Hey, Esther, take it easy," Frieda sat up, with the quilt draped over her shoulders, "Well, maybe things are a little serious, but you can't be so depressed, anyway, we are not dying of illness, we are destined Gonna die here, huh? We're all prisoners for life, oh no, I'm on death row."

Esther frowned, not even sure if Frieda's words were consolation.

But she had to admit that there was some truth to what Frieda said.

Just as Esses was about to respond, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out, and she fell into darkness for an instant, causing all the prisoners to scream in fright. Esses also huddled on the bed in horror, only the female prisoners were talking loudly in her ears, and the power was restored ten seconds later The prisoners who had lingering fears all stood by the iron railing and looked around. Their expressions were stunned, and more worried. Obviously, what happened to the Hellship recently made people panic.

Frieda looked up at Essus, her smile calm as if nothing had happened.

"If there is a first time, there is a second time, Essers." Those crescent-shaped eyes are always full of smiles.

Essus didn't respond, but she felt that the sudden power outage must be some kind of omen.

"Hey," Frieda jumped off the bed and stretched her muscles, "It seems that I have to prepare a life-saving tool."

Nightmare has just begun
