After lunch, everyone took a brief rest, and then under Wei Yang's arrangement, they started the construction of the isolation room.

According to Lin Junfu's idea, he hoped to set the location of the isolation room at the original position again, for the sake of both supervision and manpower savings.

However, Wei Yang didn't agree with this, as the main purpose of setting isolation is to cut off the pathways of contact between the virus and normal people.

If it is still set inside the main factory, you would have to artificially restrict the movement range of patients, which is obviously unfair to employees who only suffer from the flu virus.

Moreover, once this is done, it's almost equivalent to planting a "time bomb" that could explode anytime in the living environment of normal people, which is unsafe not only for ordinary people but also has a negative impact on the recovery of patients.

On the contrary, setting the isolation room in the storage house, although causing some inconvenience for supervision, is better at cutting off the transmission pathways of the virus in the long run.

Not only that, since the isolation room is set outdoors, the isolated patients do not need to be confined indoors completely. They can come out and move regularly to receive the natural disinfecting baptism of sunlight.

As for Lin Junfu's concern about assigning extra people for guarding, there is nothing to worry about. These patients are not physically or mentally unstable and can communicate with the guards at the gate by shouting if they have any needs.

Summing up, after a patient and thorough persuasion from Wei Yang, Lin Junfu finally accepted the girl's suggestion.

The whole construction proceeded fairly smoothly, given that they were at a clothing factory, so there was a significant abundance of materials available for the isolation rooms.

Following Wei Yang's instructions, everyone cut plastic sheets and fabrics into appropriate proportions and then supported them with wire to divide the storage space into 8 small rooms.

After completing all this, Wei Yang also arranged for everyone to set up a second curtain isolation strip at the entrance using the same method.

Thus, the construction of the isolation room was successfully completed. Though it looked somewhat haphazard, it achieved the desired purpose overall.

Time flies when busy, and by the time the survivors finished tidying up the hygiene within the isolation room and placing the basic living supplies needed by the patients, the sky was already turning dark.

A long-missed gentle breeze lightly swept across the open space of the factory, and a bright moon climbed quietly upon the treetop.

Tang Xiaoquan wandered alone under the moonlight, a cigarette just lit in his hand flickering brightly and faintly.

Tomorrow would be the day of the "retrieval operation in the village," and claiming not to be scared would be pure bluffing, especially in such an unfamiliar environment, where no one knows what thrilling events might unfold.

But what else could be done? For survival, for the future, even if there were mountains of blades and seas of fire ahead, you still have to brace yourself and rush forward!

The night passed without a word, and in the blink of an eye, it was morning again. Hu Xiaodong and the other 7 gathered early beside the factory's large truck.

No motivational speech was necessary. For these young men who had walked past death's door several times, facing death had become a part of their daily life.

Lin Junfu had originally intended to set off with the action team, after all, the two previous painful failures had taught him great guilt.

He really didn't want to sit on the sidelines again, watching his brothers risk their lives on the front line.

However, as Tang Xiaoquan had persuaded him during the discussion, the factory couldn't be without a leader for even a day, compared to taking risks with the action team, Lin Junfu staying behind to control the overall situation was obviously of greater significance.

After all, the factory is the foundation of everyone's existence. Even if the front-line mission fails, as long as this foundation remains, everyone still has a chance to start over. But if the foundation collapses, then everything would truly be over.

Everyone had their duties. When things reached this point, Lin Junfu found peace.

Without too many parting words, just to let everyone go and return early, Wei Yang and the others who came to see them off only said a few simple words of caution, not to worry, and then watched as the action team boarded the truck one after another.

A total of 8 survivors set out for this operation, divided into three groups based on their responsibilities.

Group One: the driving group, consisting of Zhao Yunhai and A Cheng. Their task was very simple, picking up and dropping off the action team to the designated location and ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

Group Two: the medicine collection group, consisting of Dazhuang, Hu Xiaodong, and Wu Chao. Their main task was to collect medicines and antibiotics from the health epidemic prevention station.

Group Three: the scythe collection group, consisting of Wang Qiang, Tang Xiaoquan, and Wang Daguo. They were responsible for collecting scythes and living materials.

In addition to this, to clarify responsibilities, the groups specifically refined their positions, for instance, the captain of the first group was Zhao Yunhai, while the captains of the second and third groups were Hu Xiaodong and Tang Xiaoquan respectively.

As for why they brought along Dazhuang and Wang Daguo from the factory, it was mainly because Tang Xiaoquan worried that after entering the village, they might encounter embarrassment such as unfamiliar paths or losing direction.

There was no doubt about it, the survivors had put two hundred percent of their effort into this operation.

They not only drafted a detailed plan but also arranged for appropriate personnel for it, yet regardless, things are always unpredictable.

No matter how sophisticated your strategies are, they can never match the ever-changing reality.

The saying goes, no matter how meticulous you are, there might still be an oversight. So success or failure can only be determined after the operation is completely over.

The large truck roared with a humming sound on the country road, and gusts of wind whistled past everyone's ears.

This should count as Tang Xiaoquan's first time standing on a speeding truck, and the feeling of dancing with the wind reminded him of a classic epic love movie, "Titanic."

His cheeks involuntarily flushed because when Tang Xiaoquan recalled the most beautiful scene from the movie, where the male protagonist Jack held the female protagonist Rose at the ship's bow, enjoying the blue ocean breeze with open arms, a gentle smile from a girl surfaced in Tang Xiaoquan's mind.

Why would I think of her? He shook his head twice, slightly flustered, not understanding why he would think of Wei Yang at this moment.

Could it be that... he tried hard to come up with various reasons to deny that flutter of emotion deep inside.

But little did he know, once something sprouts like a tender bud, it's tough to remove it.

And just as Tang Xiaoquan was panicking over his sudden inner turmoil, the moving truck suddenly let out a "squeak" and then came to a steady stop.

The designated location was reached...
