The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
We rushed along the road and finally arrived at Baijia Village before dark.
When the people guarding the village entrance saw the people from Pinghe Village arrive, they quickly welcomed them inside.
Upon entering the village, one finds bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and the carcasses of poultry that have been killed are scattered all over the place, with no one cleaning them up.
"Uncle, it's so good that you've come." Most of the people in Baijia Village know about Yunnan medicine and have great faith in his medical skills.
Liu Fengya stayed close to the Yunnan medicine shop, but he started searching for his uncle as soon as he entered the village. He was relieved when he saw his cousin Bai Zhidong waving at him and saw that his cousin looked normal.
Upon arriving at the place where they had gathered the wounded, a strong stench of blood assaulted our senses.
When they saw the Yunnan medicine team coming, everyone who could move crowded in front of them.
"Doctor, here! Please save my son!"
"Save my mother."
"Save my dad."
Everyone crowded around Yunnan Medicine, chattering amongst themselves, and some even tried to pull him over.
The young people who came with them this time played a role. They surrounded Yunnan Medicine and his group, and if they saw anyone trying to pull them away, they would push them back.
"What are you doing? How are they supposed to get treatment if you block their way like this? You're wasting their time." When Village Chief Bai arrived and saw this, his blood pressure rose, and he loudly reprimanded the villagers.
"Village chief, my child has lost too much blood, it will be too late if we don't save him now." He knelt down before the Yunnan medicine team, sobbing, "Please!"
Si Cheng stepped forward and pulled him up, dragging him aside. "Don't waste everyone's time. Let them check who is more seriously injured first. Since they're here, they'll definitely do their best to save them."
With Si Cheng leading the way, the people who came over pulled aside those blocking the way, allowing Yunnan Yao and his men to check on the wounded.
Baijia Village bandaged the wounds, some of which may have damaged arteries, but they were not stitched up and continued to bleed.
"Dr. Xia, could you stitch up his wounds?" The Yunnan pharmacist first gave a rough examination, checking the wounds that were more serious and still bleeding. If they didn't need stitches, he would apply hemostatic medicine. The deeper wounds were all handed over to Dr. Xia.
Those apprentices had never seen anything like it before. After treating a few wounds, some of them covered their mouths and ran outside to vomit.
Those young people who had just come of age, although they all tried their best to hold back, their faces were deathly pale.
This time, Baijia Village suffered heavy losses. Most of the poultry were killed, and several people died on the spot. Before they arrived, several others had also died from excessive blood loss.
No wonder they were so excited when they saw Yunnan medicine; it was their last straw.
Village Chief Bai led Si Cheng and the others aside, pointing to the corpses of several wolves on the ground.
"These are the beasts. There are quite a few of them. They suddenly rushed into the village in the middle of the night, and many people were attacked before they could react."
"Aren't there people on night watch in the village? Why aren't there any warnings?" This time, the team leader happened to be Captain Liu, who knew that there were people on night watch in these villages every day.
“Everyone has been busy with farm work lately. Originally, there were two people on night watch, but they felt it was safe now, so they reduced it to one person. The one on night watch probably fell asleep while being lazy, and we only found him this morning, having been bitten to death at the village entrance.” Village Chief Bai was also very regretful when he talked about this. Why did he agree to reduce the number of people on night watch?
Captain Bai glanced at the wolf carcasses on the ground and noticed that they had all been hacked to death in a chaotic manner.
"When the wolves left, did you know which direction they went?"
"All we know is that they ran from the village entrance. These wolves are so clever; they actually used their bodies to form a ladder and quickly jumped over the wall."
Hearing Village Chief Bai's answer, Yun Qiao interjected, "Then how did the last wolf get past?"
Many people looked at Village Chief Bai, thinking to themselves, "We also want to know the answer."
The village chief's face was full of subtle emotions when he thought about this. "If the villagers hadn't seen it, we wouldn't have believed that animals are so smart these days! The last wolf even knew to come back and run up, and then leaped over a rock. Our wall is still not high enough."
When they thought back to the wall they had built when they entered the village, it didn't seem very high at all. For those of them who were trained, the three-meter-high wall was easily crossed with a single roll.
The villagers of Pinghe Village breathed a deep sigh of relief as they thought of the ever-growing and thickening walls around their village. With walls nearly six meters high, they figured that even if the wolves worked together as a team, they would have a hard time getting over them.
However, considering that Baijia Village had to carry limestone from their own village to build this wall, it's understandable, since the journey was quite long.
“There are mountains everywhere outside, so there’s no way to search for them like this. But we’ll keep watch in the village today. Those wolves are vengeful. We killed so many of them in the village, so they might come back for revenge tonight.” Thinking about the habits of the wolf pack, Captain Liu and his team decided to keep watch tonight, hoping to find something.
At this moment, they desperately hoped that the wolf pack would continue to come to Baijia Village that night. If they wandered into other villages, many of which were not prepared, they would suffer the same fate as Baijia Village.
Captain Liu glanced at Si Cheng and his men from Pinghe Village and noticed that they were all carrying machetes. "You Pinghe Village people will still be with the Baijia Village people tonight. If any escapees get away, we'll have to trouble you."
"You've really gone to a lot of trouble." Yun Jianying stopped the villagers who wanted to say something and quickly agreed.
The village chief opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped, since having the people of Pinghe Village guarding his own villagers was a form of protection.
Captain Liu didn't say anything more, but instead led his soldiers to make arrangements.
The medical staff from Pinghe Village were constantly bandaging and applying medicine. There were just too many injured people. The Yunnan medicine team prepared a large dose of anti-inflammatory Chinese medicine and asked Baijia Village to find a large pot to boil a large batch.
The villagers from Pinghe Village who came along this time all started to help out, especially when Dr. Xia was suturing. Because there was no anesthetic, it took several people to hold him down to do it.
As for the relatives in Baijia Village, they couldn't be relied on. If they were even slightly reluctant to let go, the needle would be stuck in the wrong place. So these tasks were all done by the people from Pinghe Village.
Fortunately, the sheep intestines from the sheep slaughtered in the village were given to Dr. Xia to make sutures. Otherwise, this would have been really difficult to handle. Many people's wounds were torn open, and if they were not stitched up, it would have been very difficult for them to recover.
