Chapter 552: Strange Knock on the Door

Another week has passed. As the Spring Festival approaches, many companies have started to take long holidays. Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. In the morning, Schumann accompanied his mother to the New Year's market and bought a lot of things. Most of them were fruit snacks, and some chicken, duck, fish and meat. They are all prepared by every household during the New Year.

Her sister also sent them a lot of seafood and fruits yesterday.

So they have prepared a lot of things for this New Year.

The mother and daughter wore masks and each pushed a cart of things back. When they got home, it was already noon.

After the two cooked a bowl of noodles, they sat in front of the TV. At this time, the TV was broadcasting the noon news, and the news broadcast the RES respiratory syndrome incident that the public has paid the most attention to recently.

This is a respiratory infectious disease that has become popular in the past three months. The cases first appeared in South Asia, but because the early symptoms were similar to influenza, and the first place to appear was a densely populated country in South Asia with poor medical conditions, it was not discovered until MES infected nearly 10,000 people and was reported by the media.

RES syndrome is similar to SARS 20 years ago, but it is more contagious than SARS. It can be transmitted through contact and air. The main symptoms are fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches. Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc. Elderly people and children with low resistance are most susceptible to infection. Of the more than 10,000 cases reported so far, 70% are children under 10 years old and elderly people over 55 years old. The statistical mortality rate is as high as 17%, which exceeds the previous SARS virus.

At this time, the news is rolling live broadcast of the new infection rate and death cases in the past week, and reporting the countries and cities where the latest rates have been discovered.

Country Z has discovered some rates since last month, and even Night City has nearly 50 people infected.

"Mom, don't go out recently." Schumann put down the dishes in his hand, looked at his mother, and said seriously.

His mother is old and weak, and she has almost no resistance to this infectious disease.

Shu's mother, "I just play mahjong in the community mahjong hall, and occasionally go to buy some vegetables." She won't go too far.

Shuman, "Don't go. Before the disease is under control, stay at home. I'll buy you food."

Shu's mother: ...

Shu's mother wanted to say something, but at this time there were several knocks on the door outside.

"Who is it?" Shu's mother and Shuman looked towards the door at the same time.

The person outside did not answer, but continued to knock on the door.

Knocked several times in a row.

"I'll go and see." Shuman walked to the door and asked again: "Who are you?"

"Mom, did you order takeout or buy something online?" Usually someone knocks on the door for no reason, it's basically takeout."

Shu's mother frowned, looking puzzled. "I didn't." She is an old lady and rarely orders takeout.

The person outside knocked on the door again, and this time the sound was louder, making the two women in the house a little nervous.

I don't know who it is, no one speaks, just knocking on the door.

Schuman took back his hand on the door handle. This community is not a high-end community, and the security measures are not very good.

"If you knock on the door again, I'll call the police! "Schumann shouted at the person outside the door. She could see a blurry figure through the peephole, but not the face. She could only see a black shirt, the style of which should be worn by men. It was obvious that there was a man standing outside the door, and very close to it.
