After the sixth rule began, people at gathering points began pouring out in droves.
The official evacuation had not yet begun, but many people were already seeking their own way out.
If the virus could only spread through the air, people might still gather together for shelter. But since it could also spread through blood, gathering in one place became far more dangerous.
Especially since infected people would burst out in blood and die within twenty-four hours. If someone was unlucky enough to get splashed by another person's blood and become infected, that would truly be a disaster for no reason.
Even if they did not come into contact with an infected person's blood, would the blood explosion release more viruses afterward? That was another concern weighing on everyone's minds.
So people decided to seek shelter separately, and many planned to leave the city.
Some people who understood viruses knew that airborne viruses seemed terrifying, but they did not necessarily infect everyone.
Certain strains of influenza, for example, spread through the air. Yet not everyone caught them.
It was also related to the concentration of the virus in the air. Some believed this rule might be similar to the Snow Disaster Rule: in sparsely populated places, there would be less virus concentrated in the air, and the chance of infection would be lower.
This idea immediately spread across the internet. Even though the authorities specifically announced that the virus was still being urgently collected and studied, and no conclusion had been reached, people firmly believed that fewer people meant less virus in the air.
Thus, after the massive wave of people entering major cities earlier, another equally astonishing wave of people began leaving them.
Large numbers of people packed food and drove their own cars or shared vehicles out of
