implication [end times]

The sun in the summer morning is very strong, and all the colors around are bright and saturated to the point of dazzling.Puddles of bright red blood were sprinkled on the gray-white cement floor of the square.The bushes beside the road were trampled up and down, and there was a little weak green emerging from the brown-black soil.But when Lou Yue walked over, the dark green of the uniform looked very soft.

It's just that they haven't seen each other overnight, but Ran Yu feels that Lou Yue in front of him has become a little strange.

Although he didn't have much contact with Lou Yue before, his impression is almost settled.Captain Lou is sometimes uncertain, and will suddenly ask his subordinates for gifts. He may be lazy or serious at work, but he always has a calm feeling, which makes people feel that no matter how careless he is, he is always able to do things with ease.His appearance was the opposite of his attitude towards the world. His neat and elegant uniform was never wrinkled, and his inner white shirt was spotless, buttoned to the top.

However, the hair on Lou Yue's forehead in front of him was a little disheveled, his sleeves were creased, and his hands were blackened by something.His eyes were also different from usual, his eyes that used to have an indifferent smile were staring at Ran Yu steadfastly.

At that moment, Ran Yu felt that Lou Yue seemed to have a lot to say.So he looked at Lou Yue and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

Ran Yu had never carefully observed Lou Yue under such strong sunlight before.Looking at it under bright light, it turned out that Lou Yue's eyes were of different colors, the left eye was dark blue, the right eye was brown, the tails of the eyes were raised slightly, but the long black eyelashes drooped down like crow feathers.

The weather was very hot, and Ran Yu saw sweat running across Lou Yue's forehead, along the delicate skin and the tough and smooth mandible, dripping down to the neck, and finally disappeared into the collar of the uniform.Lou Yue's Adam's apple moved, but he still didn't speak.

Lou Yue is half a head taller than Ran Yu. Because of participating in training all year round, he is tall and strong but not too strong. His muscles support the shoulders and sleeves of the uniform, which has a just-right aesthetic feeling.He didn't smile or speak like this, when he lowered his head and looked straight at people with beautiful different pupils, he felt very oppressive.

Besides, Lou Yue has been watching it for too long.Ran Yu even felt that if Lou Yue's eyes were a paintbrush, he would have already finished his drawing and filled in the coloring, drawing out his whole person without missing every detail.

Under such careful eyes, Ran Yu suddenly felt thirsty.He remembered that he hadn't drank water for a long time, and it was too hot.

Lou Yue is indeed a good-looking person, but he can't quench his thirst.So Ran Yu thought about finding water to drink first, and then thinking about how to chat with Lou Yue.As soon as he took his eyes away from Lou Yue's face, he heard the other party finally speak.

"Are you OK?"

"fine."

"I happen to be going to a meeting at the Third Ring Security Bureau, let's go together."

Ran Yu suddenly thought of something, and took a few steps back: "Didn't it mean there was a virus? Do I need to be quarantined?"

Lou Yue's brows were tightened and then relaxed: "Go back with me first and do a virus test. If you are not infected, you don't need to be quarantined."

"it is good."

Ran Yu went to He Rongsheng to ask for a mask to put on, and asked him to tell Ding Taitai to leave first.Afterwards, he followed Lou Yue into the familiar car parked next to the armored car.

Xiang An'an had already been sent by Lou Yue to the city defense army to coordinate follow-up matters, and the inspectors followed Xiang An'an, and together with the city defense army, they helped deal with the crowd getting on the bus.Every once in a while, Xiang An Ning would call Lou Yue and report the situation.

Lou Yue opened the co-pilot's door for Ran Yu to signal him to go in, then went around and sat in the driver's seat.

After getting in the car, Lou Yue realized that he couldn't start immediately.The congested crowds on various road sections have not been completely evacuated, and a large number of city defense troops and guards are still finishing their work. At this time, it will be dangerous to encounter mobs who slipped through the net halfway.

He just wanted to ask Ran Yu about last night and whether he was injured, but he even forgot these things.In fact, since the early morning joint meeting ended, Lou Yue, who had signed the decision, felt unusually dizzy.

Of course, the city lord was asked for instructions in this joint meeting, but the city lord seems to be deliberately delegating power recently, and did not express any opinion on the result, only letting them do it freely.

Lou Yue proposed this strategy to lure the enemy to surrender at the meeting, but Commander Albert said it was futile and would only delay time.

"They will not be so easily induced," Commander Albert said, "Similar measures were taken 30 years ago, and it didn't work."

"These two times are different. At that time, everyone really had no way to survive. If they didn't continue to resist, they could only starve to death. But this time is different. They have a stable life, but they just want to obtain greater benefits. This kind of resistance is strong on the outside, One stick and one candy is enough." Lou Yue said, "Besides, the fear caused by the death of people around you is stronger than that of rockets in the distance, and it can also save ammunition. Taking a step back, even if it fails, it will There will be no loss, just continue with the original plan."

Commander Albert was thinking about it before getting on the armored vehicle, and finally agreed.

The next step is to coordinate the layout of all parties. From the conference room on the first ring road to the checkpoints on the second and third ring roads, Lou Yue's nerves are always tense.It wasn't until the people in the square slowly dispersed, and he saw with his own eyes that Ran Yu was still standing there alive, that the string that was about to break was quietly loosened a little.

"Wait in the car for a while, you probably can't drive on the road now." Lou Yue said, "Tell me about what happened last night. How did you get into the mob?"

Ran Yu gave a general account of last night's experience, and then said: "I may really be infected with a strange virus. During the time last night, I couldn't control my body."

Lou Yue pondered for a moment, then nodded: "It's okay, Professor Yan Ai from the Academy of Sciences is now at the Third Ring Security Bureau, she is a very famous doctor, I'll ask her to check you first."

While speaking, Lou Yue received the news that he had asked the traffic control department about the road conditions before, and it is now possible to pass.

Lou Yue started the car, and Ran Yu suddenly said: "Captain Lou, why don't I change to another car. Or I'll sit in the back... I just remembered that if my body loses control again, I will grab the steering wheel with you or attack you. Yes, it's too dangerous. I'm worried."

"It makes sense." Lou Yue said, "Then you reach out."

Ran Yu stretched out his left hand.

"Both hands together."

Ran Yu thought he was about to pick up something, so he stretched out his right hand again and put his two hands together.

Lou Yue took out a silver-gray tie from the storage box in the car, and tied Ran Yu's hands in the blink of an eye.

"What's this for?" Ran Yu asked in surprise.

"I let you rest assured." Lou Yue hooked the corner of his mouth.

The tie was very soft, and Lou Yue didn't tie it too tight, so it didn't hurt.It's just that after the tying was finished, Lou Yue didn't speak any more along the way.Ran Yu relied on his intuition and thought that he was a little unhappy.

But he couldn't understand what was Captain Lou's sudden displeasure, since he, the one who was tied up, had more reason to be angry.

So Ran Yu asked Lou Yue directly.Lou Yue stared at the road ahead and said after a while, "It's okay, I'm a little scared."

The Third Ring Hospital is next to the Security Bureau, Lou Yue took Ran Yu there directly, and untied him before getting out of the car.A very shallow strangle mark appeared on Ran Yu's wrist.

Yan Ai received the news before and came to the hospital early.In the hospitals on the [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd ring roads, she has taken a temporary leave of absence and has her own office.Yan Ai drew a small tube of Ran Yu's blood and went to work, told them that the results would be available in three hours, and then locked Ran Yu into the isolation ward and threw Lou Yue out of the ward.

"It's not that serious, is it? It's not a disease-causing virus." Lou Yue said.

"Ideological diseases are even more terrifying," Yan Ai said, "People must be in awe of unknown viruses. Don't be so clingy, lust | lust can easily lead to death."

Before Lou Yue could refute her last sentence, she had already closed the door and left for testing.Lou Yue recalled Yan Ai's contemptuous look just now, and felt depressed.

When Lou Yue returned to the hospital after the meeting at the Security Bureau, the examination results had already come out, and there was no abnormality.

Ran Yu was released from the isolation ward, and sat in Yan Ai's office, frowning.He had already briefly told Yan Ai what happened yesterday. If his loss of control had nothing to do with the virus, then did the electronically synthesized voice made by Xu Pei'er and others last night also have nothing to do with the virus?So how did they gather there and start rioting spontaneously?

Yan Ai stared at the test report and said, "Other people have not ruled out the possibility of being infected by the virus. There are too many people. It will take at least a week for all the results to come out."

Those who boarded Tram No. 1 were transported to the examination area outside the third ring road for temporary placement, and will be tested for the virus one after another.Yan Ai and his students are already preparing to develop a vaccine.

"By the way, last night there was a man named Asong, who seemed to be an organizer of the association, and he told me 'It's invalid again'." Ran Yu said, "Could it be related to this virus?"

"You mean, you might have been infected before, but for some reason the virus didn't work on you?" Yan Ai looked up at him, "There is a possibility of self-healing, but even so, there should be antibodies in the body Or other leftover information. But I didn't find any of these in your blood."

She looked at Ran Yu and narrowed her eyes: "This test is based on the RNA virus that has been discovered. Maybe there are other things in you that are worth studying."

Yan Ai turned to look at Lou Yue who was on the side: "I may occasionally borrow a child from you for future research, so don't be reluctant to let him go."

Lou Yue snorted lightly: "I'll take the team back when I'm fine."

"Wait," Yan Ai, who had been speaking very frankly, suddenly hesitated to speak. She looked at Ran Yu, "May I ask, are you 20 years old this year? Your surname is Ran? Did you get admitted from outside the city?"

"Yeah." Ran Yu nodded.This information should be what Lou Yue told Yan Ai before.

Yan Ai: "I always feel that you look familiar, so I want to ask, do you know Ran Lin?"

Ran Yu was a little surprised: "He is my father."

"Sure enough," Yan Ai smiled kindly, "I used to work with your parents."

"My parents lived in the city before?" Ran Yu never heard this from his parents.As long as he can remember, his parents' expectation of him is to pass the entrance examination and live in the city.He also thought at the time that he must take his parents in when he went to the city in the future.

Yan Ai hurriedly said: "Don't blame them, they didn't know they were pregnant with you when they left the city. It was several years later that I found out that they didn't go far, but chose to raise you outside."

Ran Yu knew the rules of the main city, so he could choose to leave the city, but once he went out, he would never come back unless he passed the entrance examination.When his parents left the city, they must have exceeded the age for the entrance examination.But since they chose to leave, why did they educate him to let him in since childhood?

Ran Yu thought for a while, and finally asked, "Then do you know why they left?"

"Some people want to come in, so of course there are people who want to leave." Yan Ai smiled, quite helplessly, "Your parents are one of the few people who don't want to be trapped by the rules, so they abandoned Anwen. They told us before leaving the city, Life in the future will not be very long, but it may be more interesting."

"But they told me from a young age to go to the city."

"Because it's too dangerous outside the city, they just want you to live well." Yan Ai said, "Perhaps, parents want their children to have a stable life."
