While Bolinken turned around, he squatted down to support his body with his left leg, and his right leg rotated and kicked towards Aaron's right leg, and Aaron fell to the ground. Bolinken did not stand up but supported the ground with his hands to keep his center of gravity stable, and then swung his left leg to sweep the right foot of Ahu who was attacked at him from the left, so Ahu was also kicked and fell forward and fell to the ground.

Talitha walked quickly to the side of the stretcher and took Guo Wengui's hand.
TALITHA
Your wife will see you soon, but you need to suck sputum first so that your wife can hear your speech. I will help you with phlegm, and then you will feel better.
Her gentle and nice voice made Guo Wengui a little calmer. He glanced at her. She was wearing a mask and the eyes behind the protective goggles were beautiful. He calmed down immediately, nodded, and looked at her. Suddenly, he ceaselessly coughed and Talitha raised his hand to signal the stretcher to stop. She looked at Guo Wengui, and he seemed to spit out a lot of phlegm in the mask. A nurse offered some paper towels, and Talitha helped him wipe his mouth clean. Suddenly, Guo Wengui coughed violently and sprayed sputum at Talitha. The nurse next to him was taken aback, but Talitha wiped his face calmly. Under her influence, the nurse helped her quickly sterilize and clean up the patient's dirt, and then Talitha signaled the nurse to quickly push him into a treatment room.

The female nurse was holding a portable oxygen bag and the doctor was holding a portable pacemaker. Two stretcher personnel were holding a stretcher, and Tom and they hurriedly walked into a building. Pompeo took a few photos in a row. After that, he walked to the back of the ambulance and stood there looking at the stairs of the building. Behind him, another ambulance drove through the empty street, and the scream was shocking.
Tom, the doctor, and the two stretchers carrying a stretcher, slowly walked down the stairs, and slowly walked out of the door. Behind is a female nurse, behind her is a middle-aged man. Pompeo takes pictures continuously. When the stretcher was carried to the back of the ambulance, an elderly woman walked out of the stairs with trembling feet. She opened her mouth to say but could not say anything. She turned towards the ambulance, as if she was going to follow her husband, then she fell and sat on the ground.

He hurried to drove his car to the front of the ambulance, then opened the car cover, connected the cable to the ambulance, and started the engine of the ambulance.
Tom stretched his head out the window and gave Pompeo a thumbs up. However, there was a loud cry from a man in the ambulance.

At a table next to her, there was audio equipment, and Gullit was sitting the chair drinking tea. The stereo was playing a musical prelude to a song, she was brewing emotions and then sang to the music.
KARIVA
The quiet night is not calm for me, looking at the sky with many stars, the love in my heart, the stars tell you, the stars are twinkling...
Gullit listened attentively while drinking tea. Kariva finished the song and he clapped his palms.
GULLIT
Kariva, I think you have never sung so well before like tonight! If you used to sing as well as now, oh, your album is already playing.
KARIVA
I think I suddenly became the girl in that song... he was so far away from me. Gullit, I'm as melancholy as the girl in the song...
GULLIT
So, at this moment you are missing him. Before, you just wanted to have him, and you were upset and irritable.
Kariva nodded.
GULLIT (cont'd)
Kariva, I am willing to record for you for free, and then you pass it to Pompeo.
KARIVA
Gullit, I just want to hear your opinion: Did I make progress when I sang this song?
GULLIT

GULLIT
Many aunts and grandmothers on the Internet are teaching how to sew masks. I went to buy a sewing machine. I know that our city is short of masks, and New York is particularly lacking. My mother was right, she says people need to help each other. I have made two hundred of them. My mother is better than me and she made masks more than three hundred. I know that New York now needs masks more than our city. Could you please help bring this to New York for the Charities?
KARIVA
Gullit, your mouse paw was almost pierced by a needle...
GULLIT
I'm stupid.
Kariva smiled, picked up a mask, and hit him on the head affectionately.
KARIVA
Mouse's paws can be made in many beautiful masks!
At this time, Gullit's mother, April, opened the door and walked in. Seeing this scene, she happy and hurriedly turned to walk away.
KARIVA (cont'd)
Gullit, thank you.
GULLIT
