Niu Daming returned into the town. His heart was in a mess. If he said he wasn't afraid, he would've been lying. Looking at the situation at the road entrance, it seemed that no one would be able to escape.
"Mayor, what's going on there? Why do they want to seal off our road?" one of the townsfolk asked. Although he was still on IV drip, they were all very concerned about this.
In their hearts, they thought that there must've been a problem.
Niu Daming had wanted to find an excuse to blurt out but thinking about it, he felt that it wasn't right. He couldn't hide the truth. As the Mayor, he had to tell the truth to the townsfolk.
In the end, after pondering for a while, he spoke.
"There has been an influenza spreading in our town that those outside don't even know about. Right now, the professionals outside are finding a solution to this. Meanwhile, our town must be temporarily sealed off. We aren't allowed to leave," said Niu Daming.
