As the star rose into the sky, people's wristbands began pushing out the day's news.
A local worker opened his eyes, stepped out of the upright hibernation pod, changed clothes, and casually opened the news feed. He was quickly drawn in by the contents--
"Deadly Virus Attacks the Planet—Will Happy Island Become Hell?"
It was a sensational headline. Even in the age of the great cosmos, this sort of thing still didn't seem outdated in the slightest.
Even though people had been deceived countless times, as long as the headline was explosive enough, unreasonable enough, and twisted enough, plenty of people would click on it.
The man entered the bathroom and began cleaning himself while continuing to read the news.
Perhaps this was the advantage of holographic projection. Even while showering, he didn't have to worry about getting the screen wet.
"...At present, multiple medical institutions have admitted several critically ill patients. All of them have recently visited or approached the Lower Class cities."
"According to research conducted by several laboratories into the cause of the illness, a supervirus never seen before has been discovered."
"It is highly infectious and has a high mortality rate. We cannot confirm whether it will undergo different evolutions and mutations inside the bodies of different races."
"So, at present, we cannot discuss how to resolve these problems."
"...It is highly contagious, with extremely strong transmissibility. Air, water, droplets, and contact are all means of transmission. If you are experiencing discomfort, please visit the nearest medical institution as soon as possible and avoid crowds as much as possible."
He had finished cleaning himself, but he remained standing in the bathroom, his brows tightly furrowed.
He browsed through some other news stories, and many of them were related to this matter.
It had appeared so suddenly.
