Chapter 92 Collection Team

Zhao Caier: "It's not a big problem. But their house is too cold, and the old man can't stand the cold. If it continues like this, the disease may recur in the future."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong nodded thoughtfully, but did not say much.

*

Ten days later, the collection team successfully brought back a lot of supplies from the county, mostly food, fuel, clothing and sanitary products. The returning convoy was mostly black and white cars, with a gray van and a large blue truck in the middle.

Because Zhao Caier and Xin Jue also followed them out, Jiang Rong came out of the room as soon as he heard the noise.

Then I saw the small van with a noticeable dent in the door from a distance...

However, at a glance, the other cars weren't much better.

The blue truck following the van was the one that was buried on the spot when Jiang Rong and his group went out. Jiang Miao and Chen Ru knew its exact location.

The person sitting in the truck and driving it now is Chen Ru.

The convoy drove slowly past the village entrance and stopped at the open space in the center of the village after more than ten minutes.

At this time, almost everyone in the village came out from their homes one after another. About 400 people gathered around the dozen or so cars. Jiang Rong stood behind the crowd and could only see a huge group of people. He could not see the situation inside the crowd at all.

"Make way, make way, don't get stuck here!!!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, followed by another sharp cry.

"ah!!!"

"What happened to my son?!"

"Where's my husband? Where's my husband?!"

Soon afterwards, a path was automatically made clear among the crowd.

Only then did Jiang Rong see what was going on inside.

There were a total of 20 people in the collection team who went out this time, and 20 people came back, but Jiang Rong saw Jiang Miao's brother Jiang Shang, and Xie Lei who had disappeared with him before. Both of them had different kinds of changes in their bodies and did not look good.

In addition, if the two of them came back, it would mean that two of the 20 people who originally went out were unable to return successfully this time.

In addition to these, other people in the team also suffered some minor injuries.

Standing at the end of the path cleared by the crowd were Jiang Rong, Zhao Runguo and others.

Jiang Miao and Chen Ru walked quickly up to Jiang Rong.

"Sister Jiang Rong, can you help look after my brother and the others?" Jiang Miao pleaded.

When she was still trapped in the 'skeleton', she saw Jiang Rong treating the guy named Qiu Qing.

And right now, her brother's symptoms were very similar to that person's. Even using a large amount of snow locust liquid did not work. The outside of his body continued to fester and he exuded a foul odor all over his body.

On the way back, Jiang Miao was thinking about bringing her brother to find Jiang Rong.

In addition, among all the people with special abilities who left the village this time, three people also turned into a half-human, half-ghost appearance. The condition of two of them deteriorated too rapidly. They had already dissolved before they reached the village, and in the end only a pool of blood was left.

"Let's go to the infirmary first."

Jiang Rong did not respond directly to this, but turned around and walked towards the place in the village that was set up as a medical room.

In addition, she had already seen Xin Jue and Zhao Caier in the collection team just now, and now that she was sure they had returned safely, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.

Zhao Runguo and his family stayed where they were and waited for Xin Jue and the others.

The Qingshan Village’s medical clinic is only a dozen meters away from the village’s open space. It is a three-story residential building that was also vacated after the end of the world.

It is called an infirmary, but there is actually nothing inside. There are only a few clean beds used to temporarily accommodate seriously injured patients.

Zhao Runguo used to be a doctor in a small clinic. This was well-known in the village, and everyone trusted his medical skills and abilities, so recently people often came to the Xin family's downstairs to ask him to treat their illnesses.

Most of the cases I see are diseases like colds and frostbite.

In this regard, although the Zhao family had stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials before the end of the world, it is now the end of the world and a time of chaos.

They still understand the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

So under normal circumstances, Zhao Runguo will help with medical treatment, but he will not prescribe medicine. He will only tell you what medicine is needed.

As for whether they can get the medicine, it depends on the family's ability.

Of course, in some more critical situations, we can’t care so much, but in this case, the person being treated will keep his mouth shut.

After a while, more and more people came to seek medical treatment, so the village set up a medical room specifically for Zhao Runguo. He paid (supplies) to work six hours a day and was exempted from the village duty.

The infirmary is the room on the left side of the front hall on the first floor of the house.

There were four single beds in the room, with quilts and everything else, and two old heaters that were burning.

Usually, Zhao Runguo is in charge of helping with the medical treatment in the infirmary, and other cleaning matters are handled by other people.

At this time, the bed closest to the inner wall of the room was already occupied by someone, and that person was Zhou Qi's grandfather. The old man's illness came and went like a mountain falling on him.

What Zhao Caier said before she left happened exactly. Due to the family conditions, he suffered from repeated colds and finally had to move directly into this infirmary. At least there are two free stoves here that can be kept lit all the time.

All the supplies needed here are considered public expenses of the village. No one dares to say that they will not get sick in the future and will not be forced to live here, so no one objects to this.

Although the current expenses are just a few quilts, two stoves and an oil lamp.

After Jiang Rong entered the infirmary, Zhou Qi, who was taking care of her grandfather with her grandmother by the bed, immediately trotted over to her and called out in a low voice.

"Sister Jiang."

Although she was young, she knew that if it weren't for Jiang Rong, the sister surnamed Zhao might not have taken the initiative to help her.

In addition, the establishment of the village clinic and the system of free expenses were also partly due to Jiang Rong's contribution...

In short, she was grateful and even respected Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong knew Zhou Qi and the others were here earlier. When he saw Zhou Qi, he just smiled and nodded, then asked, "Is your grandfather feeling better?"

"I'm much better now, thank you Sister Jiang!"

Zhou Qi had a head of messy black hair, with most of her face covered by her hair. But Jiang Rong could indeed be said to be smiling happily when he saw the half of her face that was exposed, so his mood inexplicably brightened.

She reached out and smoothed the child's messy hair, but Zhou Qi's hair was severely tangled. After trying several times to untangle it, Jiang Rong decided to give up.

Besides, she was not the kind of person who would do good deeds without leaving a name, so she would not refuse Zhou Qi's thanks. She just said, "I'm glad your grandfather is okay."

As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, Jiang Miao and Wu Hui came in carrying the unconscious Jiang Shang and Xie Lei, along with a young man they didn't recognize.

Jiang Rong didn't know him.

"Go back first, I have to be busy for a while." Jiang Rong patted Zhou Qi on the back, motioning her to go back first.

Zhou Qi nodded, trotted back to his own territory, and then followed his grandparents to curiously look at the group of people who suddenly poured in from outside.

"Xiao Jiang, please, please take a look at my son. We are sure that we will not let you see it in vain."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man, around fifty years old. While supporting his wife whose legs were weak and unable to stand, he suppressed his worry and pleaded with Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong usually had no expression towards people other than the Xin and Zhao families, so at this moment he just nodded lightly.

At this moment, only Jiang Miao's family, Xie Lei's family, the couple, Chen Ru and Wu Hui were in the infirmary.

The rest of the village did not follow.

Compared to these injured people, those outside may be more concerned about what supplies the collection team has brought back and what they can get.

Jiang Rong turned around and walked to Jiang Shang's bed, then placed his hand on his forehead. He then released the purifying energy in his body and injected it into his body, trying to purify it while sensing the situation inside his body.

A few minutes later, Jiang Rong withdrew his hand, with some blood and pus attached.

Jiang Rong did not wipe it, but looked up at Jiang Miao and said: "Your brother's condition is similar to Qiu Qing's, but not as serious as Qiu Qing's. The polluted energy accumulated in his body is much less. It will take some time to completely purify it. With my current ability, I can't save three people at a time like I saved Qiu Qing."

Jiang Rong did sense that the source of pollution in Jiang Shang's body was a very small object, almost as big as a grain of sand. With her current ability, it would take a few days to completely purify it through her own supernatural powers.

But in fact, during the investigation just now, she also asked Qin Sang in the space whether there was any remaining potion that had been used to save Qiu Qing.

The answer is yes, and quite a few.

So she can actually cure these three people quickly now.

But she didn't want to attract too much attention, nor did she want to be too dependent on Qin Sang's medicine.

Firstly, the potion will eventually run out, and secondly, once the potion was taken, the thing in Jiang Shang's body was completely gone.

She felt it was a bit of a waste.

If she were to do the purification herself, it would take some time, but she would be able to collect the polluting energy.

Although the polluted energy in Jiang Shang's body is much less than that in Qiu Qing's, it is far more than that accumulated in a normal mutant beast brain pill.

She had purified tens of thousands of them before, but only managed to extract three small bottles of reagents.

If this thing is used to kill mutant beasts, the less you use, the less you have. Jiang Rong still hopes to stock up more.

"It's okay, Sister Jiang Rong. As long as it can be cured, it doesn't matter how long it takes!"

After hearing Jiang Rong's words, Jiang Miao finally felt relieved and expressed his opinion immediately.

To be honest, it was already quite good that the other person was willing to save her brother. How could she have the nerve to be picky? She was too late to express her gratitude!!!

Jiang Rong nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, he looked at Xie Lei and the unfamiliar young man one by one, and found that their situations were similar to Jiang Shang's.

Relatively speaking, the unfamiliar young man may have suffered more seriously.

After Jiang Rong performed the first purification on the three people, their complexions had obviously improved a lot and were less pale.

Afterwards, Jiang Rong took the tissue handed to him by Jiang Miao and wiped the blood and pus off his hands.

As she wiped the dirt, she asked, "Did they run into anything outside?"
