Chapter 156 Isolation Area
This is a private hospital, not too far from Youxi and You Zhengqing's apartment, and it only takes about ten minutes by taxi.
Before You Zhengqing's illness relapsed, it was Kong's father who arranged for him to be admitted to this hospital. At that time, he was considered to be in a bad condition and might continue to be hospitalized in the future. Finding a hospital close to home would also be convenient for Youxi to take care of him later.
There are many private hospitals like this in Huaguo. In order to encourage more people to set up businesses, Huaguo will give certain subsidies to such treatment-type business places.
Under the background of sufficient resources, Huaguo will also subsidize most of the personal medical expenses, so the treatment costs here are not expensive, but the conditions and facilities are very good.
It's called a hospital, but in Youxi's eyes, it's more like a vacation home.
The general wards here can accommodate up to two people, and the private wards are inner and outer rooms with toilets, kitchens and balconies. They are bright and clean, with good privacy, and look like an apartment in her native world.
In Youxi's opinion, such a ward can be used as an apartment, even if she lives in the hospital all the time and doesn't go back.
Youxi walked into the ward, and a nurse was pushing a cart out. After asking Youxi about his identity, the nurse told him that the patient had just finished chemotherapy and was very weak and had just fallen asleep.
Youxi thanked the nurse, closed the door, put the things she brought on the table outside, and then walked into the inner room carefully with light steps.
To be honest, she was quite scared to see someone who looked 70% similar to You Feng or exactly like him when he was young lying on a hospital bed.
Even though this was a mission world, even though she knew in her heart that this person was not her biological father, she was very reluctant to see someone who looked like her biological father lying there suffering because of cancer.
Fortunately, the person on the hospital bed did not look like You Feng—not only did he not look like him, he did not even have the slightest trace of You Feng in his appearance.
Probably because of his illness, his face and lips were very pale, his cheeks were a little thin, he lay there with his eyes tightly closed, and even his eyebrows were wrinkled when he was asleep. But even so, it was difficult to hide his handsome and elegant appearance.
The moment he saw him, all the scenes of the world with his brother that existed in You Xi's mind became clear, as if the black and white painting was dyed with color and injected with emotion.
Even though he looks nothing like You Feng, she still feels distressed.
She is an only child, and she didn't know what it would feel like to have a brother before. Now she knows, and this feeling is different from the last time she had a sister, You Qi. Because You Qi is exactly the same as the young Fan Qi, she has always regarded her as her mother.
But You Zhengqing is an independent individual. After his parents died, he replaced the roles of both mother and father, strict but gentle.
You Xi admitted that even if the previous "You Xi" was just a mechanical consciousness with a set track, she still empathized with "her".
World Mission 2, ensure that the other party spends the last few months of his life safely. But she didn't know exactly how long the several months mentioned here were. Considering her first mission, the longest would not exceed six months, and the shortest might be only two or three months.
She looked at the person on the hospital bed and asked the system in her heart: How many months does You Zhengqing have left to live? Is there any chance of saving and changing?
The system did not speak, and it did not even show the speechless state that it usually did not answer.
You Xi sighed and walked back outside.
The outside was similar to a living room, with a sofa, TV, dining table, cabinets, and a not-so-large balcony facing south. Opening the glass sliding door, you can see the lawn and garden in front of the ward. It was autumn in this world, and the surrounding environment was very good, with birds singing and flowers blooming.
The sun was about to set, and the western sky was painted red by the afterglow. It was beautiful, but the red was too bright, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps because this red was too much like the color of blood...
You Xi had dinner quietly outside alone. This should be the most comfortable and relaxed meal time since she arrived in this mission world.
Since the haunted house in the L City Amusement Park, she has been on the road to escape. Even if she had time to eat, it was not very convenient to be with so many classmates.
She first took out a long-handled pot and rice, and used the induction cooker in the suite to cook a pot of porridge for You Zhengqing. She took a bowl of spicy beef ramen, a portion of chili scrambled eggs and a cup of Nigerian milk tea, and had a simple but happy dinner.
When the porridge was almost done, You Zheng woke up. Seeing her standing beside the bed, his brows knitted even tighter: "What happened to your hair? Why did you come back suddenly? Isn't studying abroad what you always wanted to do?"
You Xi raised the backrest of the bed for him and handed the porridge to him: "Eat something first, and I'll tell you after you finish eating." She was really afraid that if she told him now, he wouldn't be able to swallow even a mouthful of porridge.
You Zhengqing sighed, but drank the porridge quickly.
"I also brought soup, it's very light, drink some more?" She poured another bowl of soup.
You Zhengqing: ...
After You Zhengqing finished drinking the soup, You Xi handed the phone over directly and showed him the video of the "blood vampire" attacking people.
The bloody and violent scenes made You Zhengqing frown again: "What is this? A movie?"
"This is a picture I took at the amusement park in L City."
"What!?" He looked up in astonishment.
"Don't worry, we are all fine. We escaped in time and took a plane to leave Country D that night... Later, there was a little accident on the way, but fortunately everyone was lucky and worked together, and finally returned home safely." You
Xi would definitely not tell him the most thrilling part, after all, there was no way to explain his high martial arts value and coping ability.
In fact, You Xi originally thought about whether to hide this from him. After all, he was a patient, and Hua Country would explode sooner or later. He would naturally know when the time came, and he could continue to live a stable life before that.
But thinking back to You Zhengqing's courage and ability at work in the world picture, she felt that she had to say it first, because she now had to stock up on his medicine for the next few months, as well as medical supplies. Without his cooperation, it would be inconvenient for her to rely on herself. After all, the medicine he needed was more complicated, and she had no knowledge in this area.
You Xi took back the phone and explained the characteristics of this mutation to him in detail.
You Zhengqing was just sick, but his mind was clear. He immediately thought of his current situation. If this disease spread in Huaguo and the normal order of life collapsed, he would only become a burden to You Xi.
At Youxi's request, You Zhengqing wrote down the names of all the medicines he needed and circled a few of them, indicating that if the situation did not allow treatment, he could rely on these medicines to delay the pain.
"I will rest in the hospital for one night and go home with you tomorrow. Make preparations as soon as possible."
You Zhengqing did not know that their home was already empty.
Youxi didn't say much. She helped him out of bed and asked him to go to the bathroom to wash and solve personal problems. Then she responded to his every request and comforted him to go to sleep.
Youxi really didn't care whether she went home or not. Now, except for medicines and medical supplies, she had everything else. She had to find a way to get everything she needed to the Star House warehouse before leaving the hospital.
**
Including the time she spent on the Nigerian flight last night, she hadn't slept well for three consecutive days.
No matter how strong Youxi's physical fitness was, she felt tired at this time. She decided to sleep for six to seven hours tonight and deal with other things after she recovered.
She cleaned up the dishes and pots, locked the door of the suite, took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean sportswear, dragged the sofa to the inner door, took a thin blanket, and fell asleep on the sofa.
While she was drowsy, You Xi heard an unsettling movement. The sound was faint and came from somewhere far away, but it made her wake up instantly.
Did she hear it wrongly?
Was it... a roar?
She lay there motionless with her eyes closed, and listened carefully again. After a long while, just when she thought the previous sound was an illusion, she heard the faint familiar roar again.
That sound came from somewhere in the hospital.
You Xi sat up suddenly and took out her cell phone. It was about three in the morning, the time when a person is most sleepy.
There was no doubt that it was the voice of a BLOOD mutation patient. It sounded like the third stage, with a roar accompanied by unclear words, indicating that the language function was being lost.
From the third stage onwards, BLOOD mutation patients are highly aggressive and powerful, and a large amount of flesh is torn and detached. Once discovered by people around, it is easy to cause panic.
But how could a third-stage patient appear in the country so quickly?
Zhoucheng is only a second-tier city, and it doesn't even have an international airport. The speed of infection is really terrifying.
You Xi walked to the window, opened the blinds, and looked out through the gap, trying to rely on the sound to determine where the mutant is. But soon, she withdrew her gaze, because she found that the source of the sound was not in other buildings outside.
The faint roar came from under her feet. The place where the mutated patients appeared was the building where they were!
You Xi glanced at You Zhengqing lying on the bed, and still held back the steps to go out.
It's useless. The appearance of a patient zero means the appearance of countless hidden patients zero. The end of the world has officially begun in Huaguo, and she can't stop it. Her most important task is to protect the person on the bed.
This building has a total of ten floors. The sixth to ninth floors are private wards, the tenth floor is a high-level private ward, and the fifth floor and below are ordinary double wards.
Some functional rooms and operating rooms are distributed on various floors. Private wards are relatively empty, and double wards are about 60% to 70% full. She and You Zhengqing are currently on the eighth floor.
The sound came from downstairs. According to the strength, it can be distinguished that the source of the sound is farther away from them, and it should be located on the first to third floors.
These three floors are all double wards. Whether the mutant is a patient or a medical staff, he will be discovered quickly.
Sure enough, almost at the same time as she finished her analysis, there were terrified screams from downstairs, ranging from one to several, mixed with the mutants' roars and fighting sounds. But soon, the situation was under control, much faster than she imagined.
You Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhoucheng was not at peace for the rest of the night. More
than half an hour later, she heard the sounds of fire trucks and ambulances in the city, not just in one place, but in several places at the same time.
A few hours later, it was dawn, and police cars were heard outside the hospital. The streets outside the hospital were cleared, and a cordon was erected around the hospital.
Soon the nurse came and knocked on the door, informing her with a slightly uneasy expression that an infectious disease had occurred in the hospital and it was now temporarily isolated. All patients and their accompanying family members were not allowed to leave. If there was anything they needed, they could tell them and they would let someone from outside bring it in.
"You can't leave either?" Compared to the pale-faced nurse, You Xi looked much calmer.
"It seems so, but don't worry, it is said that the examination is being arranged now. As long as you pass the examination, it seems that you can leave. Okay, I have to notify the next ward, you stay here first, don't walk around casually if you have nothing to do."
"Wait a minute." You Xi stopped the other party, "I'm afraid this infectious disease can't be solved in a short time, I want to prepare more medicine for my brother as a backup."
The other party flipped through the medical record book in his hand: "I'll ask the doctor, it should be possible, there is a pharmacy on the floor, I'll come back at noon."
"Thank you." You Xi smiled at the other party.
At noon that day, the nurse brought them medicine and lunch on time. The amount of medicine was not much, about one and a half months. She knew that the hospital had its own rules and it was impossible to prescribe her several months' worth of medicine at once, but it was better than nothing, and she would think of a way to deal with the rest.
After You Zhengqing woke up and learned that the hospital was quarantined, he still couldn't help blaming himself.
In his opinion, he didn't have much time to live, and it didn't matter how he died. But You Xi was still young and healthy, and now she was trapped in the hospital because of him, which he really couldn't accept.
"Brother, in fact, not only the hospital was quarantined. I have checked online. There were more than a dozen places in Zhoucheng where mutant patients attacked people last night. It looks like the same group of infected people. This matter can no longer be concealed... Now Zhoucheng is not safe anywhere. It's actually not bad that we are quarantined in the hospital. At least here we have everything you need."
This day, You Zhengqing spent the day in You Xi's comfort and the anxiety of quarantine.
Although the hospital was quarantined, everything inside was still calm.
