Chapter 18 Tropical Rainforest 18

"Poisoned?"

"How could he be poisoned?"

As soon as they heard these two words, everyone felt that the food in their hands no longer tasted delicious and immediately started discussing it.

Someone asked, "Sister Jiang, could there be something wrong with the food we had for lunch?"

Others were very nervous: "We all eat lunch together, will we also be poisoned?"

Although the others didn't say anything, their expressions were all filled with the same worry.

Jiang Ran had already inquired about Bian Yang's location and condition, and was about to call Ren Xiayang to rush over with him. Now, seeing the panic situation, he patiently comforted everyone: "Don't worry, at present, it seems that only Bian Yang is in trouble. Even if there is really a problem with lunch, we have to see Bian Yang's symptoms of poisoning to deduce the cause of the problem."

"But there are still some ingredients left from lunch. Can't we check them first?"

"Yeah, after all, there are so many people in the camp. If you and Xiao Ren leave, what will happen if something happens?"

"But none of that has happened yet! If Bian Yang really got hurt because of the delayed treatment, how could you have a clear conscience?!" A life was hanging in the balance, yet everyone was stumbling over how to save him. Jiang Ran was furious at the scene, but he had to suppress his anger. "Stepping back, if there really was something wrong with the food, why was Bian Yang the only one to get hurt?"

Some people hesitantly speculated: "Maybe it's because of different physical qualities, and the time of onset of the toxicity is also different?"

Fu Bo couldn't bear to watch any longer and frowned, asking back, "This rainforest is full of dangers. Who says poisoning must be caused by something wrong with the food?"

The person who started the commotion knew that he was being unreasonable, and his voice gradually died down.

Bai Zhiyong was originally taking care of the small orchid, and when he heard the noise he rushed over.

He usually looked calm and composed, but when he frowned, he looked quite frightening. "Everything brought back by the collection team was inspected by me. Do you think Jiang Ran and I have problems with our vision?"

Now no one will question it anymore.

Having more people when rescuing someone is not necessarily a good thing; two people are enough.

Jiang Ran didn't hesitate for a moment and pulled Ren Xiayang to the scene.

Halfway through the journey, Ren Xiayang's stomach growled.

He urged for food twenty-seven times today, but in the end he didn't get to eat.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Ran said apologetically.

"Human life is at stake," Ren Xiayang also knew the importance of the matter and shook his head, saying, "Saving people is more important than a meal for me."

"Thank you," Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll give you a snack tomorrow."

Ren Xiayang's eyes suddenly brightened: "It's a deal!"

Finally arriving at the place, Jiang Ran saw Bian Yang kneeling on the ground from afar.

He was vomiting and having diarrhea, feeling dizzy and his face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.

The symptoms were very typical, and Jiang Ran knew it was food poisoning at a glance.

"Little...Little Sister Jiang..."

Jiang Ran squatted next to Bian Yang, and together with Ren Xiayang, he helped him sit up: "Do you still have the strength?"

Bian Yang nodded with difficulty.

"Okay then," Jiang Ran said, "Think carefully about what you have eaten since entering the rainforest until now. Tell me about them one by one."

Bian Yang immediately started counting with a pale face.

"...and a green plant with serrated leaves...and two mushrooms..."

"Wait, mushrooms?" Jiang Ran interrupted him, "Don't you know how poisonous mushrooms are? Why would you touch them?"

Bian Yang's voice was weak and feeble: "...Teacher Bai's little orchid is so, so cute. I've been craving it... for a long time."

Jiang Ran: “…”

So it’s still Xiao Lanhua’s fault?

If Bai Zhiyong heard this, he would probably rush over and poison him to death on the spot.

"Give me a detailed description of what that mushroom looks like."

Bian Yang tried to recall: "The handle is very long... The umbrella is very big, yes, it is red, and there are many..."

"Okay, I get it," Jiang Ran interrupted Bian Yang mid-sentence. "You ate Amanita, which is highly toxic. It has a long incubation period, up to 30 hours, so the symptoms haven't appeared until now since you were poisoned."

Bian Yang asked, "Can I still be saved?"

Jiang Ran shook his head: "You'd better withdraw from the competition immediately. Amanita toxin is highly toxic. There is no way to treat it here, but it can definitely be treated on the capital planet."

"But today is already the fourth day," Bian Yang struggled, "After the competition is over... I'll continue the treatment..."

"Of course it's up to you, but you have to think it through," Jiang Ran said. "The toxicity of Amanita is fatal. If you don't treat it, you will feel physical pain and suffering, as if millions of insects and ants are gnawing at your liver, and you will eventually die in agony."

Bian Yang's pale face was so frightened by Jiang Ran that it turned blue. He immediately shook his head desperately: "I withdraw from the competition, I withdraw!"

To withdraw from the competition, you must first open the emergency life bag. The device inside will automatically transmit a positioning signal to connect to the program team's rescue team.

Bian Yang's own emergency life bag can only be opened when it reaches the safety critical point, so Jiang Ran gave him his own safety bag.

Surprisingly, Jiang Ran's life bag malfunctioned. Several people took turns trying it, but it still didn't work.

However, they left in a hurry and Ren Xiayang did not bring his backpack, nor did he have his life bag with him. They could only rush back to the base as soon as possible to borrow money from others.

Human life is at stake, every minute of delay increases the danger.

"What a crappy production team!" Ren Xiayang cursed.

"Hurry up and carry him back." Jiang Ran said.

Ren Xiayang did not refuse. After carrying Bian Yang on his back, he and Jiang Ran quickly rushed to the base.

Fortunately, they were very fast and it only took them more than ten minutes to get back to the camp and borrow the life-saving bag.

Jiang Ran immediately found Bian Yang and wanted to ask him to withdraw from the competition. However, in this short period of time, Bian Yang's body had returned to normal.

He was full of energy and said, "I don't think I need to withdraw from the competition. I can still fight for another five hundred years!"

Jiang Ran grabbed his shoulders and said, "Do you know what "last breath" means?

"What does this mean?"

"After being poisoned by Amanita phalloides, there will be a period of false recovery after the gastrointestinal reaction," Jiang Ran said. "At this time, the patient may appear to have recovered, but in reality, it is only a false recovery. Before long, they may even enter a period of irreversible organ damage and then develop mental symptoms..."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Bian Yang plopped himself down on the ground: "I'm ready, please withdraw me from the competition!"

Jiang Ran: “…”

After seeing Bian Yang off, Jiang Ran told everyone in the camp the whole story of Bian Yang's poisoning, and emphasized that he was poisoned only because he ate Amanita mushrooms. Everyone else would be fine as long as they ate the meals arranged by the base.

However, everyone's focus is always very strange.

Before Jiang Ran finished speaking, everyone moved their butts and automatically moved away from Bai Zhiyong to a distance of at least five or six meters.

To be more precise, it means staying away from his favorite fungus - the little orchid.

Jiang Ran glanced at the expressions of everyone present.

Each one said: I wish I could be ten meters away from Bai Zhiyong! It would be even better if I couldn't see him!

Bai Zhiyong, who was shot innocently: "..."

He had been worrying about how to protect Xiao Lanhua under the watchful eyes of so many people, but now he had achieved it in one go, which could perhaps be considered a blessing in disguise.

It's just not very pleasing...
