Chapter 163 Abnormally High Fever (23)

Lan Jin had seen this done in the cafeteria. Some chefs, in order to save time and effort, would simply pour boiling water into the dishes without even beating the eggs. After pouring a large bucket of water, everything would be mixed up, and in the end, they all felt the same.

After all, it's a magical soup. What you drink is the water and a few leaves floating in the soup. It's basically impossible to eat the contents.

But during the week of cooking, the temperature outside dropped several degrees again. Lao Gao kept the radio on 24 hours a day, for fear of missing any important news. As it happened, he received the news that the temperature today was minus 41 degrees Celsius.

Speaking of the temperature, if you really compare it with colder places, it is actually nothing. There are places where the temperature is minus 6.70 degrees Celsius.

But they are in the south. If the temperature in the south drops to minus 40 degrees Celsius, then the temperature in the north, which is already very cold, should be how much lower than minus.

Lan Jin couldn't imagine how people could survive in such low temperatures.

Lao Gao didn't take it seriously. As he stirred the food in the pot, he said, "Why worry about it? People always come up with ways that even they themselves wouldn't expect. No matter what time it is, there will always be someone who finds a way to survive. Haven't we experienced such low temperatures before? Aren't we still alive and well now?"

Although that's what she said, Lan Jin always felt that something was a little different.

…

After the group worked hard for another week, the area where cooked food was stored was already piled high with it. With this much food, they might not be able to finish it even if they ate one meal a day for two months.

As for the other breakfast, I must prepare it myself. After all, who knows what time the other person will get up, and it is difficult to meet at this time.

But as time went by, the temperature outside became lower and lower.

Even though they were gathered around the stove, they still felt a little cold. Grandma Ling even covered themselves with an electric blanket, which made them feel more comfortable and stopped shivering.

As Lao Gao was picking up the charcoal in the stove, he said, "The temperature has hit a new low today, 48 degrees below zero. How can it not be cold at such a low temperature?"

But when it comes to the cold, it is definitely not just caused by the low temperature. The strong wind is whistling outside, making the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room swing wildly. This is only because there are no leaves, otherwise it would definitely make a rustling sound.

Looking at the unusually dark sky outside, Lan Jin went out to the balcony. She noticed that today's sky was very different from usual, dark and foggy, similar to the day of the freezing rain. No, even worse than that day. She went back inside and said, "Look outside! Is it going to rain again?"

After just a short stroll outside, Lan Jin returned to the house and felt unwell, especially her head, which felt dizzy. She initially thought it was due to the large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, but when she took out a thermometer from the space and pressed it against her head, she was startled by the 42-degree temperature. "I was fine just now, how could a gust of wind make my temperature so high? No wonder I feel dizzy."

Lan Jin quickly took Grandma Ling's temperature again. Although Grandma Ling felt cold, her body temperature was normal.

Ranchoqiao and Nana are also normal.

When she took the temperatures of Huang Jinghe, Ling Jiang and Lao Gao in turn, she accidentally discovered that the temperatures of these three people were also frighteningly high, especially Lao Gao, which was 42.3 degrees, 0.3 degrees higher than hers.

Lan Jin was speechless and said, "Don't you feel anything when your body temperature is so high?"

Ling Jiang shook his head. "No feeling. Did you feel anything before you went out to get some fresh air?"

"No."

Well, nothing.

…

In one building, four young adults all had high fevers. This alone was very strange. But if you think about it carefully, weren't these four people with fevers related to the insect powder?

After Lao Gao went crazy after eating the insect powder, he injured them again. No matter how good the spiritual spring water is at curing all poisons, they were injured at the time. Otherwise, how can one explain such a coincidence?

The four of them were not stupid to begin with, and they could figure out the common point after a little thought. Then they looked up and looked at each other.

However, he had already drunk the spiritual spring water. In such a cold day, the stove was burning with brown sugar ginger tea made with the spiritual spring water, but the heat in his body still did not go down. This was what made Lan Jin feel the most strange.

Lan Jin said, "Why do I feel like this isn't a simple matter? If it were this hot normally, drinking the spiritual spring water would immediately bring the temperature down."

No one would doubt this. After all, spiritual spring water could heal such a serious injury immediately, not to mention a simple fever.

Huang Jinghe smiled bitterly, "Do we need to take fever-reducing medicine?"

Ling Jiang choked, "I'm afraid it's useless. This isn't just a common fever, but it's better to take it than not."

After saying that, Lao Gao turned around and got some antipyretic medicine, and each of them drank one pill.

Ever since the space was exposed, Ran Qiaoqiao had spent much less time in it. Everyone sat together and chatted, and she also sat aside and ate the snacks in front of her. When she saw everyone drinking medicine, Ran Qiaoqiao said with a worried look on her face: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Lan Jin said casually: "Mom, it's okay."

"Drink medicine."

"It's just too cold and I have a fever. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

But can taking medicine really make you better?

Nobody knows.

…

Lan Jin's brain reacted faster because of the wind, but after a while the other three people also started to feel dizzy.

But their high fevers all have one thing in common: no chills.

Generally, if the body has a high fever, it will shiver.

For a moment, everyone's face looked unhappy.

Ling Jiang suddenly remembered Lao Gao's reaction before he went crazy. It was similar to their current reaction. She said with a worried look on her face, "We shouldn't go crazy all of a sudden, right?"

"You didn't eat the insect powder, and there are no worms in your body, so how could you go crazy? It shouldn't happen, but I'm not sure." Lao Gao said, "Maybe I didn't vomit out all the worms in my body. How about I try eating some salt and see if that will make it easier to vomit out all the worms in my body."

But this explanation was obviously not right. Lan Jin pulled the corners of her mouth until her head started to hurt, but she still retorted, "You didn't spit out all the worms. What about us? We don't have any worms in our bodies. Could it be that the toxins haven't been completely cleared? That's even more impossible. So even eating salt won't help. But if you really want to try, you can try eating salt."

It would definitely work if he tried, but if that were the case, he would have to waste the salt. The salt would be too salty in his mouth, and he didn't want to try it. "Forget it, save some salt. The salt I stuffed in my mouth before can be used to stir-fry a whole pot of dishes."

Ling Jiang said with disdain: "Hey, aren't you disgusting?"
