Chapter 68: Chronic wasting disease

The three of them quickly returned to Wu Jue’s home at 1202.

After catching his breath, Wu Jue picked up his phone and sent the video to the group.

At the same time, he asked a question.

1202 Wu Jue: “Does any owner know what Wu Chusheng’s situation is now?”

1202 Wu Jue: “When we drove Li Dama’s family away, we saw that he clearly couldn’t hold on and looked like he was about to die, so we left him in 1702.”

1202 Wu Jue: “Who knew that in less than two days, he would turn into this ghostly state.”

After Wu Jue finished sending the message in the group, he looked at the two people in front of him.

“What do you two think? What’s going on with Wu Chusheng?”

“Why do I feel like he’s not a living person?”

One of them said,

“A living person? I think he’s probably not even a human anymore.”

Then he opened the video in the group and showed Wu Jue the video he had filmed.

“Brother Wu, take a good look at the video you shot. Wu Chusheng doesn’t look human at all.”

“Especially his stiff limbs.”

Speaking of this, he put his other hand in front of Wu Jue and began to twist his wrist joints.

To better demonstrate the flexibility of his hand, after a few movements, he started doing ‘flower hands’ in front of Wu Jue.

Wu Jue watched the person enthusiastically doing ‘flower hands’ without disturbing him.

He turned his gaze to the other person, wanting to understand his thoughts.

At this moment, Xu Wenhua, who Wu Jue was looking at, spoke.

“I live in room 1602 on the 16th floor. I did hear movement upstairs yesterday, but due to certain reasons, I didn’t go up alone to check.”

“Today, I saw Brother Wu looking for someone in the group, so I decided to come.”

“Here, I need to tell you about last night’s events.”

“The soundproofing of the floor isn’t very good; I think everyone knows that, right?”

Hearing Xu Wenhua talking about something serious, the owner who was doing ‘flower hands’ also stopped.

Saying the soundproofing of the complex wasn’t very good was an understatement.

It was normal not to hear regular walking.

But if someone upstairs moved a computer desk or chair, or there was a bump, the downstairs would hear it.

“Last night, probably after 10 PM, there were sounds of falling from upstairs.”

“These sounds weren’t just once or twice; they continued for nearly an hour before stopping.”

“Originally, I was still a bit confused, but seeing Wu Chusheng now, I probably know what happened.”

“After the bumping sounds stopped, the next period was the sound of things falling.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the ceiling for the two to see.

“From here, to here, then here, it went around a few times.”

“Sounds kept coming, and finally, he must have somehow gotten out and stayed in the hallway all night.”

“It was only after he went out that our family could finally rest quietly.”

Just as Xu Wenhua said this, Wu Jue’s phone rang.

It was then that he realized someone in the group was constantly @ing him.

So he took out his phone and looked at the messages in the group.

Since he sent the video, those owners had been saying things like Wu Chusheng deserved it.

Roughly, Wu Chusheng always bullied these owners, and the owners dared not speak out in anger.

Now that they saw Wu Chusheng’s fate, everyone was @ing Li Dama, who hadn’t been kicked out of the group yet.

Everyone was verbally attacking Li Dama.

There was no useful information at all.

And the one @ing him was Zhang Bolang.

The meaning was for him to quickly deal with Wu Chusheng.

Later, seeing that Wu Jue ignored him, he kept @ing Wu Jue.

He even constantly belittled him in the group.

The two in the room also had very ugly expressions when they saw the messages in the group.

Xu Wenhua hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Wu Jue and spoke.

“Brother Wu, why don’t we rebel? We brothers have long been fed up with Zhang Bolang.”

“Who does he think he is? He really treats us like dogs, not even human.”

At this moment, Wu Jue quickly covered Xu Wenhua’s mouth.

“Old Xu, you have a wife and children. Don’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future, understand?”

Then, just as he was about to continue speaking, Wu Jue’s phone voice rang.

Seeing that it was Ye Yuan, Wu Jue answered and put it on speakerphone.

“Hello, Old Ye, what’s up?”

Ye Yuan’s tone seemed a bit anxious.

“Brother Wu, you’re at 1202 now, right?”

Wu Jue replied,

“Yes, I’m at 1202, why?”

Ye Yuan: “Good, I’m on my way and will be there soon. It’s hard to explain clearly over the phone, let’s talk in person.”

Ye Yuan: “Brother Wu, first have someone prepare some fuel or other flammable things. They’ll be useful later.”

Not long after, Ye Yuan arrived at the entrance of 1202, panting.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Ye Yuan knocked on the door.

“Brother Wu, it’s me, Ye Yuan.”

At this moment, Ye Yuan saw the door being opened.

The person who opened it was not Wu Jue but Xu Wenhua.

Xu Wenhua greeted Ye Yuan and then pulled him into the room.

When the door opened, Ye Yuan smelled some smoke.

When Ye Yuan came in, he saw the three of them gathered around a makeshift stove, boiling water and keeping warm at the same time.

Wu Jue saw Ye Yuan arrive, took a cup, filled it with hot water, and handed it over.

Ye Yuan took the hot water, thanked him simply, and then began to talk business.

“Brother Wu, I’ve watched the video you sent several times carefully.”

“I finally confirmed one thing: Wu Chusheng is likely infected with the CWD virus.”

“This is a chronic wasting disease, usually only found in animals. As far as I know, there have been no human infections yet.”

“The one on Wu Chusheng has probably mutated. My suggestion is to immediately cremate him to prevent its spread.”

“His current state is no longer that of a living person; you can tell by the stiffness of his limbs.”

“Burn him directly, otherwise, if it’s highly contagious, not just us, but at least everyone in this building will be finished.”

Wu Jue hesitated only slightly, then immediately agreed with Ye Yuan’s statement.

At this point, Wu Jue took out a few wooden sticks about 40 centimeters long.

Ye Yuan then looked at his feet, where there were already oil-soaked cloth strips.

Seeing the other three still stunned and motionless,

“Hurry up, make some torches, and then soak them in oil for a while.”

“We’ll burn Wu Chusheng later.”

“Ye Yuan, don’t try to be lazy. It was your idea, so get to work quickly.”

A few hours later, Wu Jue’s eyes were filled with distress.

“Hey, hey, hey, you wasteful lot! This is all my stock, can’t you save me a little?!”

Seeing the three of them trying to hold back laughter, he immediately cursed,

“Laugh, laugh, laugh! It’s not yours, so you don’t know what it’s like to feel the pinch, right?”

“Just wait, if I run out of food here, I’ll go to your houses and eat a meal at each of your places. No one will escape.”
