Chapter 149 Father in a Coma

Qiao Yue stepped forward and took Youxiang's hand. The hand was slightly cold. Qiao Yue squeezed it tightly, her tone firm yet reassuring.

"Little Yuzu, you have to believe that your sister and the others can handle it. They've been through so much outside, they must have their own considerations and should be able to think of ways to deal with the high temperatures."

Yuka lowered her head, "But I'm really afraid something will happen to them, I don't want to lose them..."

Qiao Yue interrupted her, "Little Yuzu, do you want all the zombies in the base to be in danger of being besieged by humans? Once your news gets out, those humans who have been bewitched by Dr. S will definitely swarm over."

Yu Xiang slowly shook her head, her eyes gradually hardening. "As the leader, I can't be so selfish. I have to consider them. I can't put everyone in danger because of my momentary impulse."

Qiao Yue smiled with relief, put her hands on Youxiang's shoulders, and encouraged her again, "Then let's trust Sister and Chen Yunfei, they will definitely be safe and sound."

Yu Xiang looked up and nodded to Qiao Yue: "Yes, trust them."

Her hands, hanging at her sides, were clenched into fists.

Why is she still so powerless?

She is still too weak.

...

On the other side, Qiao Yan, under the scorching sun, wiped the sweat from her forehead, pointed to a house ahead, and said, "Let's rest in the house ahead. We've walked for so long, everyone is tired."

Father Shen was already panting heavily. He replied between breaths, "Okay."

Qiao Yan cautiously asked Shen Jia and his son to wait outside with the injured Qin Zhuo, while she carefully walked towards the house alone.

She was very cautious with every step she took, constantly scanning her surroundings. Only after confirming that there was no danger did she wave to the people outside, signaling that they could come in.

After entering the house.

Shen's father quickly helped Shen Jia, and the two of them carefully settled Qin Zhuo into bed.

Qin Zhuo's face looked even paler.

Just then, Shen Jia suddenly screamed.

"Oh no, Brother Qin's wound is bleeding. He must have aggravated it when he was trying to escape."

Mr. Shen quickly said, "Then quickly re-bandage it; excessive blood loss is very dangerous."

As he spoke, he turned to get the hemostatic medicine and bandages from his bag.

However, after walking only a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Qiao Yan, who was standing to the side, reacted very quickly. She rushed over in a flash and steadily supported Shen's father, otherwise he would have fallen heavily to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Shen Jia immediately ran over and, together with Qiao Yan, helped to support Shen's father.

Qiao Yan frowned and said, "Let's help him lie down on the bed first and see what's wrong."

The two of them worked together to carefully help Shen's father get into bed.

At this moment, Shen's father and Qin Zhuo lay side by side on the bed, both unconscious.

Qiao Yan frowned slightly as she watched this scene, and sighed inwardly.

Sigh—this is really adding insult to injury; I wonder what will happen next.

Shen Jia looked at Qiao Yan anxiously, "What happened to my dad? Why did he suddenly faint?"

Qiao Yan calmly instructed, "You change Qin Zhuo's dressing and bandages first. Uncle, I'll go check on him. Don't worry too much, he might have just had heatstroke because of the hot weather."

Shen Jia nodded. "Okay."

After saying that, she quickly went to prepare the things to change Qin Zhuo's dressing and bandages.

Shen Jia focused intently on changing Qin Zhuo's dressing and bandaging. He first gently peeled off the old bandage on Qin Zhuo's wound, which was already soaked with blood.

Slight blood seeped out, and Shen Jia frowned. She quickly pressed the wound gently with a clean cotton ball to stop the bleeding.

At the same time, Qiao Yan had finished checking on Shen's father's condition and walked over with a somewhat solemn expression. She said to Shen Jia, "Uncle didn't have heatstroke, but he has a lump on the back of his head, which may be the reason why he fainted."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia paused in her work, quickly looked up, and asked with some unease in her eyes, "When will my dad wake up?"

Qiao Yan gently shook her head. "I don't know, but the bump on the back of his head doesn't look very big. Normally, it should disappear in a few days. It shouldn't be enough to make him faint! Why don't you take a look for yourself? I remember you said that your uncle is a medical doctor. As his son, you should know something about it."

Shen Jia re-bandaged Qin Zhuo's wound, then deftly packed away his belongings, putting the medicines and supplies back into his bag one by one, saying, "I don't know anything about these things. I don't like studying medicine; I've never been interested in it since I was a child."

His father has always been good to him, but his father is also very busy, often going back and forth between multiple laboratories, and has no time to spend with him. Therefore, he has no interest in studying medicine, and even feels a little disgusted by it. Work has taken away his father.

Qiao Yan sighed helplessly, looking at her father on the bed, "Then we can only wait and see if Uncle can wake up on his own."

Shen Jia nodded and replied softly, "Mm."

Qiao Yan sat down on a stool next to her, and the stool made a soft "creak" sound.

She continued, "By the way, have you noticed that the weather is a bit off? The temperature seems to be getting higher and higher."

Shen Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Something is wrong. I don't know if it's because I'm a fire-type ability user, but this change is particularly noticeable to me. I've been especially sensitive to heat lately, and I'm also very irritable."

A hint of worry flashed in Qiao Yan's eyes, "I'm afraid the temperature will continue to rise, which is not a good thing for us. We may face various problems such as dehydration and heatstroke."

Shen Jia looked worried. "Sister Yan Yan, what should we do next?"

Qiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "At this time, it would be best to join a base. Anyway, those people only know Xiao Youzi and don't know much about us. But it would be best to join the base under a pseudonym to avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Shen Jia's face scrunched up like a bun. "But if we join the base, we'll definitely have to hand over some supplies, and we don't have that many to begin with. If we hand them over to the base, we won't have an easy time there either, and we might even get bullied by others."

Qiao Yan lowered her head in thought, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table. After a while, she said, "We'll think about this more carefully later and see if we can come up with another solution. Let's eat something now to replenish our strength."

She couldn't think of any other useful solutions for the time being, so she had to put it aside for now.

As soon as Qiao Yan finished speaking, Shen Jia's stomach started rumbling loudly, the sound particularly clear in the quiet room.

He scratched his head sheepishly, his ear tips slightly red, as if he had applied a light layer of rouge.
