Chapter 8 Information Sharing

Fu Jingmo is a member of the military, perhaps he knows a lot of information that can be obtained from him.

Lin Mu quickly got up and went into the bathroom, there was something he needed to confirm first.

He stood in front of the mirror, and his slightly pale face was reflected in it.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mu reached out and unbuttoned his pajamas.

There was nothing unusual on the skin around his chest, he pressed it with his hand, but couldn’t feel the tree at all.

What happened last night, and that strange dream…

Wait, Lin Mu was taken aback, what about the wound on his hand, the one scratched by the shard of porcelain!!!

Goosebumps rose all over his body, when did such a deep wound disappear??

Afraid of arousing suspicion from Fu Jingmo, Lin Mu didn’t dare to waste too much time upstairs and quickly finished getting ready before going downstairs.

It was still raining outside, and the living room was a bit dark, so Lin Mu casually turned on the lights.

Fu Jingmo was sitting on the sofa watching TV, without even turning his head, he greeted, “Come take a look.”

Lin Mu didn’t say anything and sat down next to him.

Yesterday on television, there were appeals to the citizens not to panic, but today’s situation seems to have greatly exceeded the controllable range.

Several segments of people being injured and bitten were shown on TV, and it was mentioned that those bitten would directly transmit the virus. Therefore, citizens were being forced to stay at home, prepare essential items, and be ready for possible evacuation.

Lin Mu opened his phone, and there were more videos on Weibo than on TV.

The infected individuals are no longer isolated cases. Someone carrying the “R virus” has appeared, and if it’s not controlled in time, it will quickly spread throughout the entire shopping mall, the entire school.

Moreover, in densely populated areas, there might have been more than one person infected from the beginning.

“The infection after being bitten is inevitable, regardless of the size of the wound.”
The young man beside him spoke in a cold voice.

Lin Mu sensitively caught the key point in his words, “Why are you so sure? Does that mean someone already knew the cause of the incident?”

Fu Jingmo turned his head slightly, giving him a sidelong glance, with a smirk on his lips.

“This incident happened suddenly, and the first group of people who turned into zombies were sent to the research institute. However, the information available in a short period of time is very limited.”

“This is not a simple infectious disease. The disaster it brings is far worse than you can imagine.”

Lin Mu nodded, and Fu Jingmo’s straightforwardness actually relieved him. With the other person’s skills, there was no need to exchange information to get what he wanted.

Besides, he, Lin Mu, was just an ordinary person. There was nothing worth deceiving others for.

After pondering for a moment, he filtered the information in his mind and spoke up.

“The video of people being bitten was spread on the internet in the early hours of the day before yesterday. At that time, those who were accidentally bitten while trying to save others were taken away, and the vehicles that took them were military vehicles, not ambulances.”

Fu Jingmo made a sound of agreement and raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

“So, I deduced that being bitten would indeed lead to infection. But I was also wondering where the initial infected individuals contracted the ‘R virus’ from.”

“The people in charge of containment came prepared, bringing tools like mouth guards. So, at least the country had some awareness of this disaster.”

Fu Jingmo squinted his eyes slightly. Lin Mu was more perceptive than he had imagined.
He added, “The rain, the ‘R virus’ is in the rain. Anyone who comes into contact with rainwater has a high chance of getting infected. This includes improperly purified drinking water.”

Lin Mu was shocked. So, it was this rain. Would humanity really face such a catastrophic event?
If it had come from another source, it would have been easier to control than this prolonged and all-encompassing rain.

He glanced outside and thought, “When will this rain stop…”

“The rain is about to stop, but it’s already too late. It has been raining for two weeks straight, and most people have come into contact with the rainwater. Even drinking water may contain a small amount of the ‘R virus.’ This mutation is bound to happen sooner or later.”
Fu Jingmo’s words were flat, as if he didn’t care about the impending disaster.

“So… soon, Yichang City will also have… zombies?”
Lin Mu struggled to speak. Although he had anticipated the horror of this disaster, but…

Fu Jingmo turned his head, his ink-like eyes staring at him, revealing a lazy smile.

“Not soon, they already exist.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thunder outside the window.

The TV screen suddenly turned into static, and Lin Mu looked down to see that the signal on his phone had turned gray in the place where it showed the signal…
