Chapter 50 Hospital Plan
It was cloudy in the morning.
Inside the room with the curtains half drawn, everyone was having breakfast.
After a delicious midnight snack of instant noodles with spicy strips and slices last night, everyone was a little unhappy today no matter what they ate.
Chen Jiazheng and Xu Jiajia shared a sausage, some biscuits and water, which was considered breakfast. On the side, Zhou's mother took advantage of Zhou Yun going to the bathroom and stuffed a bag of bread into her.
This bread was very big, the kind with bean paste filling, and
you could feel how soft it was through the bag. "Aunt, no, keep it for yourself!" Chen Jia wanted to return the bread, but was stopped by Zhou's mother.
"This child, a piece of bread is polite to aunt, if your father is still here..." Thinking of her younger brother who died young, Zhou's mother sighed.
Although Yunyun's father was hospitalized and quarantined and is now missing, Yunyun at least has her. Chen Jia lost her only relative, and it is said that he almost strangled her to death. It is really heartbreaking to think about it...
Zhou's mother touched Chen Jia's head with a loving expression: "Don't push it back. Auntie knows that you are sensible, but I am your auntie. You should eat the things that your auntie gives you."
It's best to eat it before her daughter comes back.
Although Yunyun is not stingy, she has been a little unhappy with Chen Jia these days because of her fear of insects.
In Zhou's mother's opinion, Chen Jia was right. When they first expelled insects, Zhou Yun didn't stand properly and leaned on her body, causing several insects to crawl out of the folds of her clothes.
When they had lunch together that day, she suddenly saw two "black lines" stuck on her white sleeves and shouted out, which frightened two classmates beside her and caused their hands to tremble. The instant noodles they had just soaked fell to the ground and almost fell over.
In this world, unopened food is the most precious, not to mention that hot water was added to the noodles, which can really be considered a feast compared to now.
Fortunately, blood was very effective in attracting insects. The two "black lines" soon fell from her sleeves to her pants, then fell to the ground, and crawled all the way to the bowl of blood.
But after this incident, everyone felt a little uncomfortable with the food in their hands. Although they ate it in the end for fear of waste, they still felt uneasy. Fortunately, those worries were unnecessary and everyone was fine. It
was natural that Zhou Yun was blamed for this, but others only said one or two words at the beginning because they were concerned about Zhou's mother. Only Chen Jia stared at Zhou Yun every time he drove away the insects. If she stood a little unsteadily, Chen Jia would call her out.
Zhou's mother knew in her heart that Chen Jia was actually worried about her. This child has been sensible since she was young. This time, she saw her mother go crazy because of the insects and was hit too hard, so she cared about her relative very much.
She was worried that Zhou Yun was afraid of bugs getting close to her, so she couldn't get rid of the bugs on her body, and she was afraid that something might happen to her...
Chen Jia looked at the bread in her hand. She recognized it. It was bought from the bakery at the intersection of the road outside their community. Her mother used to... also like to buy bread from there for her.
She didn't refuse again and said "Thank you, auntie", indicating that she was full and would save this for the next meal.
Chen Jia put the bread into her backpack and said to Xu Jiajia beside her: "The bread is very big. We can share it next time we eat."
"Yeah." Xu Jiajia nodded.
On the other side, the two girls counted the medicine in the box again and again, and their faces looked a little bad.
In order to delay their period, they have to take 200 mg of progesterone every day, but the amount here is not enough for two days.
"What's going on? I remember that there should be enough for one week for each person!" The short-haired girl counted again and again, and searched in her bag, but there was still only this amount in front of her.
"Could it be that you remembered it wrong? The total amount of food here is only enough for one person for four days." Another slightly plump girl looked confused, "How about we go see where there is a pharmacy later?"
"Since the day the hail fell and we knew that the bugs were bleeding, almost all the girls in the city went to the pharmacy. In those three days, they bought out all the stocks in all the pharmacies, even the small clinics were no exception. The several pharmacies we have visited along the way these few days don't have it... What should we do, if there is no medicine..." She couldn't imagine such a scene.
"Didn't they say that it will take three to seven days for menstruation to come after stopping the medication? Maybe by then we will have left Hai Ru City."
"Can you guarantee that there will be no such bugs after we leave Hai Ru City? The city is about to fall, and there hasn't even been hail there..." The short-haired girl paused, "Now, there is only one place that still has medicine."
"Where?"
"The place we originally planned to go."
"You mean-the hospital?" The chubby girl covered her mouth in shock, "But, it's full of parasites!"
"They are quarantined parasites. In addition to the outpatient lobby, the pharmacy usually also has an emergency department. It must be far away from the quarantined area. As long as we act quickly, we can get enough medicine."
"But even so, there is no way for us to get close to the hospital..."
"Let's go and talk to Chen Jia and the others. I remember they said they wanted to go to the hospital before."
Chen Jia did say she wanted to go to the hospital. She would not forget what she promised Xu Jiajia. But if they were alone, going to the hospital would be like sending food, but the others...
"There is really no need for the others to accompany us on this adventure." Xu Jiajia lowered her head.
Chen Jia looked at her friend. She knew that the hospital where her parents worked was not far from here. Although she had not mentioned it much in the past few days, she would always secretly open her phone to look at the family photo of three.
Chen Jia gritted her teeth: "In fact, it doesn't matter whether other students go or not. The key is... whether they are willing to go."
Everyone knew who she was talking about. There was only one boy originally, and they didn't dare to count too much, but last night a woman with better skills and equipment came. But it is not reasonable to let others take risks for your own sake.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Yun came out of the bathroom and saw several girls gathered together, so she hurried forward to help. After listening, she said that she didn't have much progesterone left, and there were other girls in the team, so she could discuss this matter with everyone.
So, in the end, everyone gathered together for a meeting, and several adults opposed this matter as soon as it was brought up. In addition to Zhou's mother, there were one man and two women in the team, who were the parents of three classmates.
In their eyes, these people were still in high school, and they were just children. They usually practiced making beds, washing clothes, and cooking, and now they actually wanted to go to the hospital to take risks to find medicine?
No! Absolutely not!
But almost all the students agreed to go. They had been through so many things in the past few days, and most of them had lost their parents and family members. To them, these classmates around them were not only friends, but also companions and comrades-in-arms who depended on each other.
Even the usually timid Spectacles agreed to go to the hospital. He said that although he was timid, they had been together all these days, and there was no reason to stand by and watch someone die. Moreover, they were not going to the hospital, but just going to the emergency room to get medicine. As long as the plan was appropriate, they would succeed.
"Hey, Spectacles, you can actually say something like "we should be together"? Then you can go and ask as our representative!"
"...But he didn't agree last time."
"Last time was the last time. You go and give it a try. Maybe it will work once you open your mouth?"
"..."
On the sofa near Box No. 1, Lin Wu was wiping the iron rod in his hand with a cloth.
After Spectacles trembled and told him the purpose of his visit, Lin Wu nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Glasses looked at him in surprise: "You...you agreed?"
"Yes." Lin Wu looked at the other party, "Anything else?"
"No..." Glasses grinned and walked towards the others waiting on the other side.
Lin Wu turned his head and glanced at You Xi who was sitting on the sofa next to him. She was drinking a bottle of coffee while checking the power of two electric batons. Noticing his gaze, she raised her head and looked at him, then took out an unopened bottle of coffee from her backpack and handed it to him: "Only latte flavor, do you want to drink it?"
"...Thank you." Lin Wu took it. However, the reason he looked at her was not because of coffee.
They seemed to be busy with their own things, but everything that happened here just now and everyone's conversation fell into their ears one by one.
In the early morning in the box, Lin Wu had already exchanged all the information about the parasite with her. The two of them agreed that killing was meaningless, and he also wanted to find the reason.
They had mentioned going to the hospital before, and he was the only one at that time, and he did not agree after weighing the pros and cons.
But now there is You Xi.
He has a hunch that You Xi may be stronger than he thought.
Since this team has been repeatedly led to the hospital by "it", let's go together to see what "it" wants to do.
**
The Third Hospital of Hairu City is located in the north of the city. It is a comprehensive hospital. It is geographically remote, but it is only three intersections away from the street where they are now.
On the day of the hailstorm, ambulances from all hospitals were dispatched, and the principle of proximity was not taken into account for the moment. They sent patients wherever there were cars and who could receive the injured.
The Third Hospital is not large in area, with a total of five old buildings. There is a taller building at the back which is a newly built inpatient department, and those injured in the hailstorm were later placed in it.
This time, their target was the emergency building, which was on the right side of the outpatient building, separated by the hospital's internal driveway. The outpatient building is more than twice the size of the emergency building, and there are many people. Before the medical order collapsed, it was almost entirely filled with patients who had just been sent to the hospital.
Later, some of them were transferred to the inpatient building at the back for isolation. Later, a large number of parasites with out-of-control emotions appeared among the medical staff. The parasites attacked normal people. In addition, various auxiliary tools were everywhere in the hospital. Many people were killed on the spot by the parasites. Those who were lucky enough to escape did not survive because of varying degrees of injuries on their bodies. Not long after leaving the hospital, they also became parasites.
Because of this chaos, everyone who was still alive and able to move in the outpatient building left. As for the parasites locked in the building and the ward, once they could not find a target to attack, some of them would gradually calm down, and some would attack each other under external stimulation.
The situation in the emergency room is similar, except that there are fewer local minor disease departments, so even if there are parasites inside, the number should not be large.
Before noon, a group of people made final preparations in a clothing store diagonally opposite the hospital.
The hospital's emergency room is already visible from a distance, and on the surface, it seems calm.
In front of them is a four-lane road with a number of cars crashing into each other across the road. This road is not far from another main road that leads out of the city to the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain. Before the parasites appeared on a large scale, everyone in Hairu City who had a car and a strong sense of crisis drove out of the city.
At that time, these students also wanted to leave, but most of the adults in their families were in the hospital. They didn't know how to drive, and they couldn't leave their parents, so they were delayed.
Later, they checked the news online and found that many people who were originally locked in the tunnel at the bottom of the mountain
in Hai Ru City had been unblocked. As long as they were inspected and isolated, they could get help and resettlement. At that time, the group of students in the same community wanted to find a big car and let two adults who could drive take them out of Hai Ru City.
But before they found a car, the news of the outbreak of parasites in Liancheng came, leaving all of them at a loss.
Later, they were forced to leave the community and home due to the food crisis. When they were looking for food in a supermarket, they were entangled by several parasites. Fortunately, the boy appeared and saved them.
In the past two days, they walked together from the south of the city, almost crossing most of Hai Ru City. It was all because of him that they were safe.
So at this moment, after everyone finished exterminating the insects on the second floor of the clothing store, they all listened quietly to each other's plans and arrangements.
You Xi drew a floor plan on paper in a simple and easy-to-understand way using the hospital building information he found on the Internet.
Lin Wu explained the situation based on the floor plan.
The emergency pharmacy, their target this time, is on the left side of the entrance to the emergency building, very close to the main door, and the clinics that may have parasites are all on a corridor on the right side after entering the main door.
If there are parasites in the corridor, then they have to lead all the parasites on the first floor outside and subdue them, so as to prevent the fighting and the other party's shouting from attracting the parasites on the second and third floors of the emergency building.
If there are no parasites in the corridor, then just get the medicine and leave.
Therefore, this time the action was mainly about speed. Having more people was useless. The boys and girls who had no fighting ability stayed behind, and a few middle-aged women stayed behind.
Youxi, too, stayed behind.
"She's not going?" Glasses was surprised.
"She protects you." Lin Wu explained casually.
The others saw him frowning, and they didn't ask any more questions.
They, the rookies, should not question the arrangement of the master.
Lin Wu took about seven or eight young boys and left the clothing store and went to the opposite side.
Before leaving, he looked at Youxi again, and then received a steady look from her in response.
Lin Wu had no expression on his face, but a hint of smile flashed through his eyes. When he was acting, he could get the eye contact from his teammates, and this feeling made him feel very safe.
Moreover, Lin Wu knew that this time he and You Xi were acting separately, and she actually had a heavier responsibility.
- Be careful.
Lin Wu mouthed to her.
You Xi nodded gently at him.
**
In front of the window on the second floor of the clothing store, the short-haired girl looked at the classmates crossing the road carefully outside and couldn't help but speak : "Are we really not going? Everyone took the risk for us this time. It's not good for us to stay like this? What if there are many parasites on the first floor of the emergency room-"
The slightly plump girl held her and shook her head at her: "No, it won't be wrong to follow his arrangements."
Zhou Yun frowned: "You will be a hindrance if you go, so just follow the arrangements."
The short-haired girl retorted: "If you are timid and don't want to go, don't say that I am holding you back."
"Who is timid?"
"You don't even dare to look at insects now, how dare you go to the hospital?" Glasses spoke.
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here!" Zhou Yun said angrily.
"Yunyun." Zhou's mother stopped her daughter.
Chen Jia didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at Xu Jiajia beside her. She knew she wanted to go too, but she also knew that the boy was a man of his word and would never allow them to follow, so she didn't say anything just now.
"Jiajia..." Chen Jia glanced at the others. They were all standing by the window, including the new woman in her thirties.
She pulled Xu Jiajia to the stairs: "I know you want to go, but the situation is different now. The inpatient building is in the back, and it may be full of parasites..." "
I know--" Xu Jiajia's face was gray, and tears flowed down before she finished her sentence. "It's not easy to get here, and I'm just holding on to the last glimmer of hope..."
Chen Jia looked at her and fell silent.
**
At the same time, outside the wall behind the inpatient building, a team in combat uniforms quietly dealt with another parasite that rushed over with a knife.
"Damn, these guys are really everywhere." A tall and strong man complained in a low voice.
The team of seven people looked dusty, but they were very careful to avoid getting blood on their bodies.
Because once there is blood, even if it is not their own blood, and they have no wounds on their bodies, those bugs will compete to crawl on them.
But even so, they can't guarantee that they don't have bugs on their bodies at the moment. Those black bugs are too small and can't be detected by clothes and hair.
Several of them even shaved their heads for this purpose, at least they can see more clearly when cleaning.
"Okay, we're here after all. Everyone check yourselves, and after you go in, try to use cold weapons first, and then rob if that doesn't work."
Although the robbers were equipped with silencers, there would still be some noise, and once the parasites find their targets they will yell and make all kinds of noises, so not only must they move quietly, but they must also eliminate them before they attract more parasites.
Zhang Yishuai - a tall and strong man, was also the first man who had sneaked into Youxi's residence before and was knocked unconscious by her. After checking his weapons, he glanced at Qi Zhen: "Boss, are we really going in like this?"
"What's wrong?" Qi Zhen looked at him.
"No, I just want to know, did you really receive a distress message before? This building was used for sealing and isolation before, and it should be full of parasites. Even if some of them were killed by each other, it has been so many days. If there are still normal people inside, how did they survive these days?" "
I did receive a distress message on the walkie-talkie before, and there are indeed survivors inside. From the sound, there is more than one. It is probably that the patients who were originally hospitalized did not evacuate in time. What's more, even if they are isolated, it is impossible for everyone to be together. It is not surprising that there are survivors."
Just like the places they have walked along the way in the past few days, some of the seemingly deserted and empty houses actually hide normal people.
The reason they survived is because they were careful enough and had some stored drinking water.
"The patient who was originally hospitalized? That's too unlucky." Another team member sighed.
"It's just my guess. It's also possible that he was injured but not parasitized."
In fact, this is the reason that really made Qi Zhen decide to take the risk. "If it's the latter, it means that this person has some antibodies that are immune to black worms. Then this person is even more important. We must rescue him and find out why he is not parasitized. Maybe... we can solve this parasitic crisis."
"Okay, boss, you talk and we do it!" Zhang Yishuai saw that the other party had made up his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, these few people have already put their lives aside. If
someone asks for help, they will save people.
If someone needs help, they will help.
