Chapter 218 It Seems Like a Plague
After Lu Lin was settled, Yang Qing and Leng Yi went to find Hao Zhiguo.
Hao Zhiguo was very happy to see them, "How is that little girl?"
"He had surgery last night and woke up today," said Yang Qing.
"That's great!" Hao Zhiguo nodded. "Thank you for donating the equipment to the hospital. I believe it will save more people in the future."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, otherwise my sister wouldn't have been able to receive treatment so quickly."
Hao Zhiguo's face was full of smiles. He liked these two young people very much. They would not be complacent just because they made a little contribution. They were rare humble people.
"Leader, we have decided to stay. I wonder what we can do?" Leng Yi asked.
"Don't worry, settle down first. We have a lot to do." Hao Zhiguo said, "I'll give you an apartment. You can live there first. You can return the money at the official base. Don't waste it."
Leng Yi nodded, "We have been in the official base for less than a month and have used four points cards. Can we refund them if we are not there anymore?"
Hao Zhiguo pondered for a moment, "That shouldn't work. There's no residency limit on the points card. Once you enter, you have to spend 500 points. The remaining unused points can be taken to other bases."
"Isn't it too uneconomical for us to only stay for a month?" Yang Qing said.
Hao Zhiguo shook his head. "That can't be helped. This is the rule. You guys want to leave, not the base trying to force you out."
"Forget it!" Yang Qing sighed and considered the beef he exchanged for points as a donation to the country.
However, I still have more than 2,000 points in my card. Can I exchange them for supplies or food? Otherwise, it will be a waste if I don’t use them in the future?
Even if you want to enter in the future, you will enter the military base, and the military base will not recognize this points card.
Let’s discuss what to do with Leng Yi after Hao Zhiguo leaves.
Hao Zhiguo led the two into the government compound, arrived at the door of a unit, took the key and opened the door of a three-bedroom suite on the first floor.
"There are four of you, so you can live in these three rooms," Hao Zhiguo said. "Originally, there were no vacant rooms, but after the official base was built, many officials moved in, and a lot of rooms became vacant."
"But some people were reluctant to leave, and later people from other departments moved in, so all the good rooms were taken, leaving only the ones on the first floor."
"The first floor was flooded before and there are more mosquitoes, so no one likes it. But there is one advantage: it is cooler than other floors."
Yang Qing nodded, "It's okay, it's fine."
The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms, two bathrooms, electricity, but very little water.
"The water seems to be running out?" Yang Qing asked.
"The water supply is a bit low, and I don't know how long it will last." Hao Zhiguo sighed, "Now we can only supply it at fixed points, otherwise some people might waste water."
"Okay, it's good to have water and electricity." Leng Yi said. It was good to have such conditions in the end times.
"In fact, we are the only place with electricity, which we generate ourselves. Other places in the city, except for the hospital, have no electricity," said Hao Zhiguo.
Leng Yi nodded, he understood, so this place was pretty good.
The three were talking when someone suddenly ran over in a panic, "Leader Hao, this is bad! Something big has happened!"
"What happened?" Hao Zhiguo frowned. He had experienced so much in the apocalypse, so why was he still so uneasy?
"A lot of people are sick. I heard some are vomiting and having diarrhea, some have severe coughs, and some have even vomited blood and passed out. The hospital is already packed!"
"What?" Hao Zhiguo was shocked.
"This... why does it sound like a plague?" Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other and suddenly thought of the rain yesterday.
"That rain?" they both exclaimed in unison. "Yesterday's rain was a little strange. It felt a bit hot when it got wet. At first we thought it was acid rain again, but later we realized it wasn't. It felt like poisonous rain."
"Could it be that the rain brought the virus?" Yang Qing said, "The mosquitoes and centipedes that appeared before also carried the virus."
"Really? I didn't go out when it rained yesterday, so I didn't know..." Hao Zhiguo frowned. He didn't expect that after just experiencing a hail disaster, there would be a plague. What should he do in this period of shortage of medical care and medicine?
"When it hailed yesterday, many people collected the hailstones and melted them into water to drink. There must have been people who drank rainwater directly. If the rainwater carries a virus, those who drink it will quickly become ill. Those who are seriously ill may have just drunk the water..." Yang Qing took a breath of cold air. It might be impossible to save them.
"You guys pack up first, I'm leaving first..." Hao Zhiguo said hurriedly and left in a hurry.
"Lu Lin and the others..." Yang Qing suddenly thought, wondering if they had been caught in the rain at the base at that time, and if so many people rushed into the hospital at once, they would easily be infected.
The two quickly put on protective clothing and drove the truck back to the hospital.
The hospital was already crowded with people, some were holding their stomachs, some were coughing desperately, and some had already fainted on the ground.
The nurses were running around in a panic and the emergency room was full of patients in critical condition.
Seeing the two men wearing protective suits, everyone looked at them with greed in their eyes, as if they wanted to strip the clothes off them.
Yang Qing quickly took out two rifles from his bag, and each of them carried one on their backs, pretending to be an official soldier. The others did not dare to move.
When we arrived at Lu Lin's ward, we found that there were people occupying other beds there. Although there was a curtain between them, coughing sounds could be heard from the side from time to time.
"Linlin!" Yang Qing called out and quickly took out two masks for Lu Lin and Li Liang to wear.
"Qingqing, what happened? Why are there so many patients in the hospital all of a sudden?" Lu Lin asked.
"It rained yesterday, and it seemed like there was a virus in the rain. Everyone who got caught in it seemed to be poisoned." Yang Qing lowered his voice, "Did you get caught in the rain yesterday?"
"No, after Lu Lin was hit by the hail, I took her to the hospital and never left." Li Liang shook his head. "But when we left, it was raining..."
At that time, Yang Qing covered Lu Lin with a towel, but Li Liang did not cover her.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry. Not everyone will be infected. Some people may have antibodies. You have a good physique, so you may be fine." Leng Yi comforted him.
In fact, he and Yang Qing were also caught in the rain. The windshield of the pickup truck was broken at that time. They went into the space to wash it after they found something wrong after being caught in the rain. I wonder if it can prevent the virus?
Yang Qing looked at the surrounding environment and thought, no, there are too many people. It is too dangerous for Lu Lin to live here.
"I'll go ask if there are any private rooms."
Yang Qing found Dean Cheng, who was very helpless. "You have seen the situation here. Not to mention a single room, now there are three or four people in the room. Later, we may have to cram seven or eight people in."
"Miss Yang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the conditions are limited right now."
"Can we get a small storage room to use as a ward? It doesn't matter if the conditions are poor." Yang Qing said, the main thing is to isolate him from others.
Dean Cheng shook his head. "Honestly, our medical staff never know when they might be infected. As long as they are in the hospital, they are not safe."
"Ms. Yang, if you have the conditions, I suggest you take your sister home. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You can give her IV drips at home and come back for a checkup later. It's safer at home than in the hospital."
Yang Qing thought about it and realized that it was true. It would be better for him to take care of her at home.
