Chapter 96

Everyone was already lacking food and clothing. If they caught a severe cold on top of that, it would be incredibly difficult to survive.

From a corner, a young woman wearing glasses spoke up, “I have a solution.”

Hearing her voice, everyone’s gaze focused on her.

Lu Shouzheng nodded at her, “If I remember correctly, you’re called Lu Ying, right?”

Being stared at by everyone, Lu Ying showed no trace of timidity and calmly nodded.

“Yes, my name is Lu Ying.”

“What’s your idea? Tell us about it.”

Lu Ying raised her hand and pushed up her glasses, “Those survivors who come seeking refuge can enter, but they must hand over 60% of their supplies as a contribution.

Let the survivors inside squeeze together a bit and free up two villas for them to use as isolation.

After the rainstorm passes and the colds are cured, we can redistribute the housing.”

Lu Shouzheng hesitated, “More than a hundred people living in one villa? That’s not very good, is it?”

Lu Ying helplessly said, “In order to better organize and manage them, we have no choice but to do this.

The houses where patients have lived must be disinfected once. Two villas are already our limit.

Moreover, each villa in Silver Bay Gardens is quite large.

On average, each floor has 4 rooms. With over a hundred people living there, each room would only house about 10 people.

This is the end of the world. Having a place to stay is already very good. What’s there to be picky about?”

Those present thought about it and felt that Lu Ying’s words made sense.

“Indeed, a bedroom is 50 square meters, so it should be more than enough for 10 people to live in, right?”

“I agree with Captain Lu’s words. We can’t just let them eat and drink for free in our Silver Bay Gardens, can we?

Handing over 60% of their supplies isn’t excessive.”

“I also agree.”

…

The captains eventually reached an agreement. Lu Shouzheng also felt that this plan was reliable, so he sent someone to negotiate at the gate.

The survivors who came seeking refuge had traveled a long way, so their physical strength was naturally not as good as the guards inside Silver Bay Gardens.

Although they were dissatisfied with handing over 60% of their supplies, they had no other choice.

Lin Qianhuan went downstairs to eat and happened to bump into Lin Wansheng coming out of the monitoring room.

“How is it, Second Brother? What’s the situation?”

Lin Wansheng pulled out a chair for her, “The two sides have reached an agreement. Those survivors who came seeking refuge have been arranged in villas 41 and 42.”

Lin Qianhuan slightly raised her eyebrows. She didn’t expect the matter to be settled so quickly.

But this was also good. After all, when snipes and clams fight, the one who benefits in the end are the zombies that are drawn over by the noise.

The food was brought to the table.

Sichuan Pepper Chicken, Spicy Beef, Ribs and Green Beans, and a large pot of hot, steaming, stomach-warming chicken soup.

Lin Qianhuan picked up a piece of Sichuan Pepper Chicken and put it in her mouth, narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.

“It’s so delicious. Big Brother’s cooking skills have improved again.”

Lin Yixuan smiled gently and gave her another piece of ribs, “Try this too.”

“Okay!”

Everyone at the table ate to their heart’s content and was satisfied.

The peaceful life lasted for less than three days. Silver Bay Gardens still ushered in a new disaster.

The flu virus spread from who knows when and quickly took over the entire villa area.

Through the messy and disturbing rain, the sounds of coughing from each household could be clearly heard.

The flu virus that Lu Shouzheng and others had strictly guarded against was still spread.

An emergency meeting was held again in Villa 1.

Lu Shouzheng sat at the head, his face gloomy. Because he had been staying up too late, his eyes were dark.

“The people who went to deliver food and medicine did not have close contact with the patients, and they usually disinfect carefully.

But where did the virus come from and how did it spread to the entire villa area!”

Messy footsteps came, and Lu Ying, wearing a dark green raincoat and a medical mask on her face, entered.

“Base Chief, I’ve found out.

The person who went to deliver food had relations with a woman in the isolation area.

He saw that the woman wasn’t coughing or having a fever, so he thought there was nothing wrong, so…”

Lu Shouzheng was so angry that his veins popped out, “What was he thinking!

For his own selfish desires, he has harmed all the survivors in our Silver Bay Gardens!”

The captains at the table comforted him one after another, but the words they spoke were still powerless.

Compared to their panic and anxiety, Lu Ying was clearly more calm and composed.

“Base Chief, I have one more thing I want to report.”

Lu Shouzheng calmed down a bit, “Okay, speak.”

Lu Ying pursed her lips slightly, “Those cold medicines and anti-inflammatory drugs that we distributed to the survivors in villas 41 and 42, they didn’t eat them.”

“What! They didn’t eat them?”

Lu Ying nodded, “Yes, they secretly hid the medicine, thinking they could get through the illness on their own.

I led a team to search, and only a few people took the medicine. The rest have been holding on.”

Lu Shouzheng’s lips turned purple with anger, and his body was trembling.

“Can’t they tell what’s more important?

It’s the end of the world now, and even the physical fitness of those with abilities isn’t that strong.

They’re sick and they still don’t take medicine. Are they saving the medicine to die and see King Yama?”

Lu Ying stood there without saying a word.

Everyone knew how precious medicine was. One anti-inflammatory pill could be exchanged for 10 pounds of grain.

The survivors thought it was just a cold and would pass after a night’s sleep, so they secretly hid the medicine, just waiting to exchange it for supplies after the quarantine was lifted.

“They have the life to keep the medicine, but they don’t think about whether they can live to exchange the medicine for supplies.

A bunch of arrogant and conceited fools.”

Someone cursed, but it was of no avail.
