Chapter 163: Apocalypse: Zombie Era (2)
“These past few days, the flu has been rampant. My sister told me that many children in their kindergarten have been infected. The hospitals are overcrowded, and even the roadside clinics are filled with people getting injections.”
“On my way to work, I saw a group of people wearing masks, probably afraid of getting infected. I heard this flu is quite troublesome; no matter how many injections they get, the fever doesn’t go down.”
During the lunch break, everyone finished their meals and sat at their desks chatting. Ji Jiaqi took a day off yesterday and had a pile of work to catch up on today. She sat on her chair, typing rapidly on the keyboard with both hands while listening to their conversation.
When she heard about the flu, she started to worry about getting infected herself. Luckily, she had some masks in her drawer, so she planned to put on a mask when she went back.
Because she was still concerned about Sister Yun, Ji Jiaqi felt down and lacked enthusiasm throughout the day. When it was time to leave, she felt exhausted and was about to pick up her bag when her phone rang. It was her boyfriend calling.
She and her boyfriend grew up together in an orphanage and could be considered childhood sweethearts. They both had good looks and were diligent in their studies. Although they were admitted to different universities, they remained in the same city, and their relationship had always been strong.
Because they were both good-looking, their mutual friends jokingly referred to them as a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, naturally meant for each other. Even in their studies, this couple was often the topic of discussion.
Their relationship had always been good, but recently, she wondered if her boyfriend was too busy with his studies. It had been a few days since they last contacted each other. Ji Jiaqi had been busy with Sister Yun’s matters and business trips these days, and it was only now that she realized it when he called.
Ji Jiaqi answered the phone, and her boyfriend, Ji Hang, spoke in a gentle and caring voice, “Jiaqi, there’s been a flu going around lately. Remember to wear a mask when you go out and be careful not to get infected. I’m not busy recently, so how about having dinner together tonight?”
