It was bright and Brian and Sarah got up early to set off. Osborne also planned to see if he could contact his old friend to get information on the matter. However, there were also people in the RV that could not be guarded, so he asked Kelly to stay and guard.

Leaving the abandoned factory and walking on the street, although it was less than 7 o'clock now, the street was already crowded. All the survivors living in tents in the city left their residences and walked towards the central block to receive their own insignificant supplies.

Looking at the dense abortion, Brian sighed, holding Sarah to prevent the two from getting separated, recalling the route Antoine said yesterday, heading towards the opposite direction of the crowd.

"Let's freedom! Democracy! Human rights! Economy!"

"Freedom is the foundation!"

“Isolation is worse than viruses!”

"Fear is the only infectious disease!"

“…….”

Just after Brian and Sarah crossed a long street, a group of protesters holding opposition slogans suddenly walked out in front of the road ahead. They held their opposition cards high and shouted slogans passionately.

There are dozens of people on the street, kneeling on the ground with their hands folded and muttering something in their mouths. In the middle of them, a woman held a blackboard with the words: This disaster is the punishment given to humanity by the devil, and faith in God can help you avoid the attack of viruses.

The pedestrians and policemen around were just looking at everything in front of them coldly, and no one paid special attention to it, as if they were already familiar with such things.

"It's ridiculous." Brian felt extremely ridiculous about the scene in front of him, which reminded him of a sentence he had heard in his previous life.

Compared to defeating the virus, defeating stupidity is the top priority!

When the marching team left, they crossed the road and asked pedestrians along the way. After walking for nearly an hour, they found the address where Yarman left them.

It was a four-story residential building. The two of them walked the stairs to the third floor. Brian confirmed the room number, walked to the door and raised his hand and knocked it three times.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

But after waiting for a long time, no one inside answered, so he raised his hand and knocked it three times, and then a nervous voice from a woman came from inside.

"who?"

"Hello, does Grandpa Yarman live here?" Seeing someone answering inside, Brian asked politely.

Hearing this name, it suddenly became silent. Then Brian saw that the cat's eye on the door turned black, and it was obvious that someone was watching them from the cat's eye.

A moment later, the door was opened, but because there was a door chain in the middle, only a small gap was exposed. A thin middle-aged woman appeared in the gap, looking at the two children in front of her in confusion.

"...what are you looking for him?"

Looking at the woman in the crack in the door, Brian guessed that the other party should be Yarman's daughter Juen, the person who wrote the message in the cottage by the lake.

He handed the note with the address in his hand to the crack of the door and said, "This is the address that Grandpa Yarman left for us. We met when we were in Austin. I just came to Dallas yesterday, so I want to know something about it from him. Is he here?"

After taking the note, the woman looked at the words written on it, turned around and shouted into the house: "Dad, there are two children coming to see you, come and take a look."

"child?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, a confused voice came from the room, followed by a burst of rapid footsteps. Soon, a gray-haired old man appeared in the crack of the door. It was Yarman who Brian and the others had met.

"Brian! Sarah!"

Yarman looked at the two children outside the door in surprise, quickly untied the door chain, and greeted: "Come in quickly."

Brian and Sarah walked into the room and looked around the situation inside. It was a typical three-bedroom apartment with empty space and it seemed that they were not doing well.

Yarman enthusiastically invited the two to the living room, and then began to ask when the two arrived, whether there was a place to live, and if there was no one, they could let them live here first.

Brian keenly noticed that when Yarman said he wanted them to live here, his daughter Juan next to him frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with the decision his father made without permission, but she didn't say anything, just stood quietly aside.

Knowing that everyone is having a hard time now, Brian shook his head and rejected the other party's kindness. Their purpose of coming here was not to bother others. He told Yarman what he wanted to know, hoping to get useful information from him.

Yarman also knew that his decision just now was a little impulsive. He knew what Brian was coming, thought about it in his mind, sorted out his thoughts and said:

"Because of this epidemic, the whole country is now in a very tense state. Many cities seem to have begun to refuse to accept people from other places. If Dallas was not closest to the infection area and needed to accept survivors, they would probably have entered a state of lockdown.

"But I heard that Dallas is almost unable to accommodate survivors. The army may use trucks to send some survivors to other cities. If you want to leave here, that may be the only chance, otherwise you should have to wait until the epidemic is over."

The epidemic is over?

Seeing that Yarman was still hoping that the disaster would end, Brian sighed slightly in his heart. The other party did not understand what he had experienced, so he also hoped that the government could develop a vaccine to solve the germs. However, after knowing that the army had launched an "indiscriminate purge", he knew that the government might be unable to control the epidemic.

Brian listened to Yarman telling the information in Dallas, combining the two things that old man Antoine said last night, and generally gained a basic understanding of the situation here.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But one thing Yarman said last, which made him very concerned, that is, after the army took over Dallas, it circled the industrial area west of the city, took over all factories, and began to build high walls there. Although it was not clear what the government was going to do, it also caused speculation from the Dallas people.

Brian understood that even if this disaster was inevitable, the national government would never choose to sit and wait for death. They would definitely make preparations, and taking over the basic industrial areas is very likely to be the first step for them to make changes.

After getting the information he wanted, Yarman also agreed to help them find out about leaving Dallas, so Brian stopped disturbing him and took Sarah to get up and leave the place.

On the way back, he passed a hospital and took the flyer handed over by a nurse at the door. He found that it turned out to be a flyer about Cordyceps sinensis virus. This immediately aroused his interest and began to read the content above:

................

The Centers for Disease Control has produced a manual to increase attention to Cordyceps brain infection (CBI) and prevent infection.

Background information:

Cordyceps is a parasitic bacteria that occupy the host's mind and changes its behavior until recently, this bacteria will only infect some arthropods of insects, and the new breed that has recently appeared can parasitize in the human body.

Methods of contagion:

Two known routes of CBI infection are:

1. Inhaling the spores released by Cordyceps mushrooms.

2. If you are exposed to body fluids of CBI infected people, the reason is usually caused by being bitten.

Incubation period:

After being infected, the parasite will move to the host's brain within one to two days. Cordyceps controls all the main functions of the host's body, and the incubation period and the end of the incubation period.

disease:

1. Patients in the first stage of CBI will develop abnormal behaviors and tend to violence and attack people around them.

2. The bacteria will eventually break through the host's body tissue and emit spores that float in the air.

treat:

There is no vaccine that can treat CBI, and there are no existing methods to extend the incubation period.

diagnosis:

CBI can be tested positive for the test within minutes after diagnosing the infection through blood and microscopy (usually for the ear).

................

Brian looked at the contents of the flyer in his hand, and the things written on it gave him a new understanding of the germs that were raging outside.

But when he was raising his head, he suddenly found that somehow the pedestrians on the street had taken their own steps and started running. Even the people who were still marching did not continue to shout slogans, but chose to disband on the spot and ran into the surrounding residential buildings. It seemed that they were going to return to their homes.

Such an abnormal scene made Brian feel a little nervous and he didn't dare to stay here for more, so he asked Sarah to run towards the abandoned factory.

Back in the abandoned factory, he was surprised to find that the survivors around him wanted to watch in front of a TV, and everyone was cursing, with extremely angry and panic expressions.

Seeing this, Brian hurried back to the camp and found Osborne and Kelly were next to the RV, watching the content broadcast on a TV that day, which was inside their neighbor, Mr. Antoine's RV.

He walked forward quickly, without saying hello to the two people beside him, and looked directly at the TV, where a female host was broadcasting the news.
