Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
Seeing Yan Gu's hesitant expression, Xie Purou took the initiative to say, "Captain Yan, I don't have any containers for water here. Please prepare some over there."
As she spoke, she filled all the remaining water containers in her space with water and brought them out. She didn't know how much she would need, but she thought it would be a lot.
Yan Gu really didn't know what to say to express his gratitude. "I'm grateful for your kindness. How about this, what we have in abundance in this coastal area is seafood. If the owner is willing, could you please do us the honor of sitting down and having a meal?"
In the mind of Yan Gu, a middle-aged man, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a meal. If there is one thing, it is the lack of wine.
Xie Purou was silent for a moment. "So many people are in danger, and I don't want to have fun alone. Maybe next time."
Her worries were not without reason, so Yan Gu had no choice but to say, "I didn't think it through."
Xie Purou wanted to see the disinfection process for people infected with Vibrio vulnificus. She wanted to learn a little bit, right? She said something to Yan Gu and walked straight to where Huai Tingting was.
Yan Gu followed her and walked over together.
She did not disturb Huai Tingting, but stood at a distance to watch how the professional doctors handled it.
After watching Huai Tingting go through the entire process, she seemed to understand it, but she only had a vague understanding.
When Huai Tingting was free, Xie Purou went up to her and asked, "Doctor Huai, what are the symptoms of Vibrio vulnificus infection? Is it as simple as just flushing the wound with water?"
She saw that Huai Tingting had treated several people by directly washing the wounds with spiritual spring water. The red and swollen wounds caused by infection had visibly reduced in swelling. Is disinfection that simple?
Huai Tingting was so busy that she didn't even raise her head.
"Well, the Vibrio vulnificus virus spreads very quickly, but I've noticed that the water you provided is very effective. I squeezed some of the blood out of their bodies before flushing them with the water, and now more than a dozen people are no longer in danger of infection."
"Is this okay?" Xie Purou squatted down beside her.
There were patients lying all over the deck, and she rolled up her sleeves to help.
"Yes." Huai Tingting glanced at her and told her, "I have just cleaned the wound of the injured person. Now we just need to rinse it with water."
Xie Purou nodded.
The injured person's wounds were already exposed, and Huai Tingting cut open his clothes in a hurry to treat the wounds, so she didn't need to turn the injured person over.
Water flowed down her hand, and she held a cell phone in her other hand.
Turn on the camera, point it at the wound area, and take pictures while avoiding the victim's privacy.
"I'm currently at the Haiyu Base in the coastal area. If I get scratched by marine life, I'm very likely to be infected with Vibrio vulnificus."
Of course, that's not all she wanted to say.
"Most of the marine life I see here has mutated." She raised the camera so that it could capture the lingering traces of the tsunami overhead.
The scene was very noisy, with all kinds of sounds mixed together, so she had to move closer to the phone and issue a warning again.
"If anyone goes out, regardless of whether they are scratched or infected by marine life, please go to the hospital or a private hot spring pool for disinfection as soon as possible."
After recording the video, Xie Purou sent it to Chu En, and Chu En quickly replied that he had received it.
Three minutes later, she saw Chu En forward the video to the group in each base group, with a text description attached.
Xie Purou put away her phone. Huai Tingting took a sip of water and took a break, then leaned over to talk to her.
"Your phone still works?"
Xie Purou hummed, "It can be recharged." Then she looked at Huai Tingting, "If we're lucky, this base will also have it."
Huai Tingting was confused and was about to ask how lucky she was when Xie Purou spoke.
"Doctor Huai, do you think there's something wrong with this patient?"
With experience in treating wounds, Xie Pu Rou examined each patient one by one.
Huai Tingting had handed over the precautions to others for the places farther away, and the area where Xie Pu Rou pointed was not her responsibility.
Huai Tingting immediately became serious and took her small medicine box to the patient to start the examination.
She carefully examined the obvious external injuries on the patient and her brows gradually furrowed.
The person in charge of rescuing this area was very anxious and came forward to explain: "Doctor Huai, we did it just as you instructed and used a lot of water, but I don't know why this person is feeling weird."
"Are you sure that all the procedures are carried out according to what I taught you?" Huai Tingting confirmed again.
"Sure, sure! Because his condition looked particularly serious, I took special care of him. I repeated what you taught me many times. You didn't see it just now, but the color of his wound was even darker before I took action."
"What's wrong?" Xie Purou asked beside her.
Huai Tingting pulled the patient over and placed his left arm on top for easier inspection.
"Look at this..."
The flesh on the arm was turned out, and the wound on the hand was a tooth mark. The wound was black and mixed with bright red blood that kept flowing out, which was shocking.
Xie Purou frowned slightly, and mobilized the spiritual spring water to flow from her fingertips to treat the wounds of the injured.
The two men did not speak, but looked intently at the wound on the injured man's arm.
After flushing with the spiritual spring water for a long time, the wound changed from emitting black death aura to normal gray.
The onlookers asked: "What is this?"
"Isn't this a zombie virus?"
"There's also a zombie virus in the sea?"
The people around were talking non-stop.
Xie Purou was a little irritated, and her tone was not very good: "Shut up, everyone."
The scene suddenly became much quieter.
Xie Purou and Huai Tingting both knew in their hearts that it was most likely the toxin brought by the mutated marine creatures.
Apart from the fact that they had witnessed the size increase, they had no idea what the mutated marine creatures had developed into.
The situation is still not optimistic. If everyone needs so much spiritual spring water to excrete toxins, the project will be too huge.
As the base commander said, most of the soldiers in the entire base are wounded, plus those who came from other bases. Can they afford to wait for doctors to treat them one by one?
Xie Purou remained calm and first confirmed with Huai Tingting, "Will every wounded person's wound become infected?"
Huai Tingting shook her head. "As long as there's a wound on your body, even if it's just a pinprick, there's a chance of infection if you soak in seawater without protection."
"Infections also vary in severity." Huai Tingting sighed as she looked at the wounded on the deck, their arms and other injuries. "This is the most severe infection I've ever seen. Too much time has passed, and the toxins have invaded the body."
Xie Purou reached out and touched the wounded man's body. Feeling that the temperature was not right, she moved her hand to his forehead, which was burning hot.
"I have a fever."
