Are you guys playing me?

"How are the test results?" The Governor of City C, Central Province, asked his secretary in the office, who had gone to inquire about the situation.

This was already the third day of the school lockdown. Tens of thousands of students were affected, and parents were blocking the entrance every day. Public opinion was under immense pressure, and even the Federation President had personally inquired about it. As the regional administrator, he felt like he couldn't handle it anymore!

The secretary hesitated for a moment but still revealed the bad news from the testing center: "After testing, the monkey was indeed infected with this unknown new virus!"

The Governor's heart sank upon hearing this. This was indeed the worst possible news!

It meant that the zookeeper and their family who had contact with the zoo and the monkey would be forcibly quarantined, and the lockdown period for tens of thousands of students would be extended indefinitely until the student who fed the monkey was found!

"Governor, the news stations are constantly demanding that we give the public the right to know. Should we come forward and explain? The parents' emotions are becoming increasingly unstable..." the secretary asked weakly.

"Explain? How do we explain?" The Governor glared at him, scratching his sparse hair in frustration. In the current lockdown situation, if he didn't explain, the parents might only be anxious, but once he explained, they might riot directly!

The general inspection center's proposed solution for the school situation was a dormitory management system. Although it was a last resort, it was inhumane to say it out loud.

Because a dormitory had at least four people, this management plan could prevent large-scale infections, but the drawback was that once the student who refused to admit it became infected, their three roommates would definitely be doomed!

If this plan were to be announced, it would definitely cause widespread criticism from the news, and the parents' emotions could instantly spiral out of control if incited by someone with ulterior motives.

Because no one could be sure if their child was one of those three unlucky ones!

The current situation was to stubbornly remain silent and wait for the student who was unwilling to admit it to fall ill. Once everything was settled, he believed that apart from the families of those four students who would be angry, the remaining parents of the students who had escaped the disaster would turn around and be grateful to them.

Although it was very realistic and cruel, sometimes it had to be done.

Thinking of this, he called the regional military to explain the situation, hoping to send more troops to stabilize the situation. As long as he could get through this period, even if he had black marks later that led to his early retirement, it would be better than a riot that led to the collapse of the situation. If the virus spread further, he would truly be beyond redemption!

Thinking of this, he actually began to hope that the student infected with the virus would get sick quickly, die early and be reborn, and not implicate others!

Just as he was thinking, the secretary suddenly received a call. His originally somewhat somber face suddenly lit up when he heard the news from the phone: "What did you say?"

The Governor frowned. What was wrong with this Xiao Wang? He was still yelling at such a frustrating time. He was so unstable. Should he replace his secretary?

"Governor!" The secretary said excitedly, "That student has turned herself in!"

"What?" The Governor stood up from his office chair abruptly upon hearing this: "Really?"

"Yes, the blockade team just sent a message saying that a female student in Area B took the initiative to admit it. After verification by a psychologist, it should be correct!"

"Good, good, good!!" The Governor rubbed his hands and smiled: "Good child, has a sense of the big picture, is a brave child!!" Then he quickly asked, "Have her roommates been controlled immediately?"

The secretary quickly picked up the phone to inquire, but then his originally excited face suddenly stiffened.

"What's wrong?" The Governor looked at the secretary's expression, and a sense of unease rose in his heart. Afraid that something else would go wrong, his voice became a little cautious.

The secretary swallowed and didn't dare to look at the Governor. Finally, he honestly said, "They said... one roommate ran away!"

"What did you say?"

"Ran away?" The senior military officer in charge of the school blockade looked at the subordinate in charge of reporting with a livid face, feeling incredulous in his exasperation: "You have so many people, and you're still carrying the name of professional special forces, and you let a twenty-year-old girl run away? Are you fucking kidding me?"

The squad leader in charge of blocking the dormitory also lowered his head embarrassedly. To be honest, there were a dozen of them in a class, and they were from the special forces. It was really embarrassing to let a little girl run away!

After the officer was angry for a while, he calmed down and asked, "Tell me the specific situation!"

The squad leader bit the bullet and recounted the situation at the time.

It was around 2 PM. Due to a circuit problem, the air conditioning was out in the 43-degree weather, and students were forcibly locked in their dorms, causing widespread discontent. Many cursed the person who had concealed the situation.

Guo Xiaoyun's dorm was the same. Amidst the constant cursing of her two female roommates, Xin Ya, who had been under immense psychological pressure these past few days, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She took the initiative to knock on the door and confess.

Upon learning this news, the team leader didn't dare to delay. He first notified his superiors, then called for the isolation team to bring protective suits. Unexpectedly, one of the girls inside saw this and quickly ran back to her own dorm, locking the door behind her.

At the time, they didn't pay much attention, thinking they would wait for the isolation team to arrive before going in to catch her. But they never expected that when the isolation team arrived and forcibly broke down the door, they would find that the girl named Guo Xiaoyun had disappeared!

The team leader glanced at the open window in the room, but he just sneered coldly, thinking, This little girl watches too many movies, always trying to be clever. This is the sixth floor! Only an idiot would believe she jumped out of the window!

He immediately led his teammates to search behind the door and in the closet, and they even forcibly pried open the tightly closed Game Pod from the outside. But after searching, they discovered...

She was really gone!!!

What the heck...

Could it be... she really jumped?

The team leader panicked and quickly looked down from the window. Outside the dorm were all air conditioning units. Theoretically, if someone was bold and careful enough, it wasn't impossible to climb down. But would a student in their early twenties have such courage? Especially a girl?

Not to mention the temperature outside was so high that those air conditioning units were hot enough to sear pork belly to a seven-degree doneness. Just talking about courage, even he, a special forces veteran, wouldn't casually jump onto those air conditioning units to climb down. Did she think she was in a movie?

But what if she really did it...

The team leader felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of this. To be honest, if it were true, he, the team leader, would be in deep trouble this time!

Because there were originally people guarding downstairs, but because the target was locked, he had transferred all the manpower upstairs...

Putting it all together... it seemed... it was all his fault!!
