Chapter 184
"plague……"
Zhang Ling repeated Yun Mian's words with a severe headache, and his already pale face gradually became uglier.
Plague was a name used in ancient times. In modern times, more people call it "infectious disease" and "virus."
Moreover, a disease that can be called a "plague" and prevents them from even returning to their safe base must be extremely contagious.
This means that the group of rats just now must be carrying a large number of infectious diseases and viruses.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ling didn't care about his own life or death. He looked up and stared at Yun Mian, tensing his mind and asked her: "Mian Mian, can you go back?"
"Of course." The black cat above his head lazily swung the tip of its tail, and said with a slightly proud tone: "You are blessed by the golden light of merit, and you are completely enveloped by my spiritual energy. Unless you are bitten by a rat, the plague will not be able to penetrate the barrier and infect you."
Are you kidding? Yunmian is a holder of merit. With such rich merit, even he has to give in. A few inferior mice are nothing but a threat.
So Yunmian obediently shook her head at Zhang Ling: "The cat said I'm not sick."
Zhang Ling heaved a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and then said to the little girl in front of him: "Mianmian, can uncle ask you for two favors?"
"Sure~" the child replied softly.
Zhang Ling wanted to laugh, but he didn't know if it was because the epidemic had caused too much damage to his body. In just over half an hour, he already had difficulty breathing, and his comrades next to him also looked painful.
Fearing that he would waste time if he delayed any further, Zhang Ling forced himself to say to Yun Mian, "Uncle wants to ask you to go back and get some dead and alive rats, then put them in this box and bring them back to the safe base to give to Grandpa Song. I will send them the news here right away. You have caught the rats, and they will be able to pick you up soon."
The number of rats is enough to alert any secure base, and no one knows how many creatures they have infected during this time. Once the base ignores their existence or accidentally allows the infected to enter the base, it will be an irreparable nightmare.
But Zhang Ling knew very well that he and his comrades could not hold on for much longer. At most... they could send Yun Mian back to the warehouse. After that, they were unable to escort her back to the base safely. He could only send a message to the base and ask them to send someone to pick her up.
"What about you?"
Yunmian did not refuse, but the first question she asked was what they should do.
Zhang Ling met the worried gaze of the little girl, and his heart warmed slightly. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but he was afraid that he would accidentally infect her with the disease, so he could only withdraw his hand and forced a smile to comfort her: "Mianmian, don't worry about us. When you go back, we will continue to fight zombies. When all the zombies outside are gone, you will be able to see us."
Yun Mian looked at him without saying anything.
Zhang Ling knew that the child in front of him was actually very smart, so he was not sure if his words had fooled her, but time was running out. Before he and his comrades fell, he had to send Yun Mian back to her previous place.
On the way back, the other uncles in the car kindly asked Yunmian to help bring back some things. Some were tags to hang around their necks, some were photos, and some were simply a message to their families.
Yunmian put away their things and memorized every word they said before she asked softly in the dead silence, "Uncle, can't you go back?"
When Zhang Ling wanted to continue making excuses, Yun Mian interrupted him, holding two boxes and whispered to them: "Uncle, you don't have to lie to me..."
I also had a very serious illness, and I even lied to my mother that I would turn into a star in the sky. Your lies are so obvious that even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe them.
But Yun Mian looked at their pale faces and couldn't help wondering. She wrinkled her face and asked in confusion, "But this disease can be cured. Why are you all so sad?"
The strong feeling of sadness emanating from everyone in the car almost drowned her and Maomao. Yunmian even heard Maomao burping on her head.
The emotions of several people combined were enough to feed a succubus.
Looking at the child's confused expression and listening to her innocent questions, Zhang Ling felt so sad as if he was stabbed by a knife and suddenly died on the spot.
The others were similar. After reacting to Yun Mian's words, they all stared at the confused child with blank faces and expressionless eyes.
What did you say? ?
"Hey~" Yun Mian spread out her white and tender little hands, in the palm of her hands were a few light green leaves of unknown species lying in a mess.
Facing the strange looks from the uncles, Yun Mian put down the box and began to feed the leaves to them one by one, explaining softly as she fed them: "Maomao said this can cure the plague in you, but it's very bitter, so don't spit it out secretly. When we get back to the base, I'll ask Grandpa Song to give you some sweet candies, and you won't feel bitter in your mouth after you eat them."
Zhang Ling and others: "..."
#What does it feel like to go from hell to heaven in an instant? #
#As an adult, I actually want children to coax me into taking medicine with candy because I’m afraid of the bitterness? #
#Why is it Song Shou. Long hair candy, those who dare to eat it are warriors! #
#Also, is it really impossible to skip marriage and have a little girl directly? #
No one knew what was in the minds of these people who had decided to die calmly and courageously just a second ago. Only Yunmian, Maomao and the system saw that their faces changed in unison when they swallowed the grass sprout.
Every face was wrinkled. As warriors who were not afraid of death, they even thought for a moment that they were suffering to the point of losing their souls.
After watching the face-changing show with her face in her hands, Yunmian, as the only child who did not take medicine, patted an uncle on the head lovingly and comforted them: "It's okay, mom said that good medicine tastes bitter, and the bitterer the medicine, the faster the disease will heal!"
Everyone: “…”
Have you ever taken Chinese medicine prescribed by an old Chinese doctor?
Such a small leaf is at least a hundred times more bitter than that Chinese medicine!
If good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease, then they think even the dead can be brought back to life through bitterness...
For example, myself, who is feeling bitter at this moment.
The uncle who was driving the car was so excited that it kept drawing beautiful S-shapes in the city, allowing Yunmian to indulge in the thrill of speeding.
"I'm going to take this leaf back and give some to Xiaohao to eat!" Yun Mian was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
System, Cat: "..."
What grudge do you have against Xiaohao that makes you treat him so cruelly?
There was no grudge between them. Yunmian simply wanted to bring back all the new and rare things for Xiaohao to try.
Because Xiaohao went to the research laboratory at the base with his mother half a month ago, and heard that many powerful and smart people were researching something there. His mother said that Xiaohao would also be studied there, and maybe soon the living people would no longer become like Xiaohao.
Later, Yunmian went to see it and found that they would draw some blood from Xiaohao to make a lot of strange things. Yunmian asked Xiaohao if it hurt, and Xiaohao said no, and also said that those who drew blood would give him lectures every day and eat delicious food.
Xiaohao has learned to speak now, and everyone in the lab praises him for being very smart.
But Yunmian still felt sorry for Xiaohao having his blood drawn. It must be very painful to draw so much blood. Yunmian wanted to go out and catch a new monster to exchange for Xiaohao, but Xiaohao insisted on staying there, saying that he could quickly become stronger there.
Yunmian didn’t know whether Xiaohao was very powerful or not, but she had hardly ever seen Xiaohao come out again, so every time she came out and found something fun and delicious, she would bring it back to share with him and her mother.
Well, I want to share this bitter grass too.
"Then why doesn't Mianmian share it with your mother?" the system asked curiously.
The next second, the child replied in a somewhat shy but confident tone: "Because bitter grass is too bitter, I don't want my mother to eat bitter things."
Mommy wants to eat sweet food forever!!
System, Cat: ...Don't you think you are hypocritical, kid?
Yunmian didn't think so at all, because she just didn't let her mother eat. When Xiaohao was eating, she would eat with him. We children are still young, it doesn't matter if we eat a little more bitter food.
The system and Yun Xiaowu had nothing to say about Yun Mian’s train of thought.
When it comes to her mother, Yunmian has always been double-standard even to herself.
After getting the items back to the base, the base responded immediately.
They began to improve defenses in all aspects, especially the dangers from underground and high altitudes. The survivors in the base also contributed their abilities to the best of their ability to ensure that they could jointly defend their only home when the base was attacked.
When Yunmian went to visit Xiaohao three days later, she learned from the researchers that the mice were not carrying the plague.
"To be precise, these mice are also an infected group, and the source of infection... comes from our human corpses."
The aunt who was speaking was wearing a white laboratory coat and glasses. She spoke slowly and steadily. Yunmian and Xiaohao were sitting next to her. Although they couldn't understand what she said, they listened very carefully.
"Why?" Yunmian, the little supporting actor, can also ask questions at the right time.
Researcher Auntie: "Because our human body carries many kinds of diseases and viruses, if the body is not treated by cremation or burial after death, it is easy for it to become a hotbed for the reproduction and mutation of bacteria in a high temperature environment..."
The aunt explained in great detail and did not give any vague or perfunctory explanation just because Yunmian and Xiaohao were two little fools who were four or five years old. As a result, the little fools were able to understand the general idea.
The supporting actor Mian Mian even clapped his hands in sudden enlightenment at the end: "I know! So those rats got sick from eating the corpses, and if we are bitten by rats, we will also get sick, and then more and more people will get sick, and everyone will have to eat bitter bitter grass to be cured."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the laboratory except Yun Jinshu subconsciously frowned.
Because they were all persuaded by the children to use the antidote to the plague: bitter grass.
That's really bitter, bitterer than the souls of the early eight workers and the workers combined...
So much so that now, just hearing the three words "Kuku grass" seems to make a bitter taste rise in their mouths at any time.
yue! !
Yunmian had no idea how big a sin she had committed. After answering the question, she was still looking up, eagerly waiting for her aunt's praise.
But before the other party could even finish his boast, a shrill alarm sounded above the security base.
Enemy attack.
Or is it the zombie tide that only appears in novels?
Advance warning: The next world will be a little special.
