Yuan Zhiyi murmured unconsciously: "Pumpkin skin..."
Qiao Xuejun walked into the room and came to Yuan Zhiyi's bedside: "Lack of vitamin C?"
The skin of old pumpkins is fibrous and hard, and is generally not eatable. However, Uncle Zhang would not throw away the pumpkin skin in the past. He would dry and grind it or stew it to soften it and add it to recipes.
Can be eaten.
Pumpkin flesh itself does not contain vitamin C, but the rind contains a little.
Qiao Xuejun looked at Dr. Zheng: "The vitamin content of pumpkin peel is also very low."
Doctor Zheng spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can only take these tonics."
At first they also brought some vitamin tablets, but the quantity was too small and they were eaten up long ago.
Doctor Zheng sighed, "There's a little in potatoes, too. And if you can eat pumpkin skin, you can make up for it. Try to eat more."
On the two beds next door, Yuan Zhiyi's two companions also had their eyes open, listening to the conversation here.
Their injuries are more serious and they are unable to get up yet.
Among them, production team leader Ding Yunzhe's condition was more serious because his wounds could not heal and there were recurrent inflammations.
The patrol captain Zhou Biao is in good health and is in the best condition.
He lay on the bed and looked sideways at Yuan Zhiyi. He also heard what Dr. Zheng said. Eat pumpkin peel. As long as the First Base gives it to him, he will eat it.
It is not surprising that the people in Haibao lack vitamin C. The factory director and his wife had noticed this problem before and were racking their brains to find a solution.
I tried different fish, different sea vegetables, but nothing worked.
It's not that easy to solve.
Vitamin C is found in most fruits and vegetables. However, sea burgers do not contain any.
Anyway, it was a good thing to have pumpkin peel as a supplement. It was better than nothing, and it was better than their sea fort.
Zhou Biao stated: "Doctor Zheng, you have the final say. I can eat pumpkin peel."
Qiao Xuejun turned around and glanced at him: "..."
This person was also the one who carried a bomb in order to resist Zhao Xian, and was shot by Zhao Xian. His arm was broken, but he recovered well.
Qiao Xuejun said sarcastically, "Zhao Xian gave you the terms of the deal before, but you insisted on using such an extreme method. Now, come to the base and eat pumpkin peels."
The vitamin C content in potato and pumpkin peels is very low, which is just a drop in the bucket for their situation. However, Dr. Zheng has no better solution and can only try his luck.
Zhou Biao was a little embarrassed when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "There was nothing we could do under the circumstances at that time."
Commonly known as "being high".
Zhou Biao added: "The First Base is completely different from what I imagined."
Qiao Xuejun: "...What do you think?"
Zhou Biao: "I thought the bomb didn't explode. I would be dead if I landed in the First Base. Lord Zhao would arrest me and put me in prison, and the prison would be full of prisoners who disobeyed Lord Zhao."
Qiao Xuejun: “…”
She had never seen whether there was such a prison in the base.
The system interrupted: "The base does not have such facilities, host. Because those who disobey Zhao Xian were shot directly, there is no chance of being caught."
Qiao Xuejun: "You talk too much, I don't understand you as well as you do?"
The system shut its mouth in grievance.
Zhou Biao looked at the ceiling and continued, "Lord Zhao will definitely torture us and force us to reveal the factory's operating mechanism and workflow... He will definitely do that."
"Depriving them of food and water, depriving them of sleep, whipping, electric shocks, or branding... whatever, in short, they used every possible means."
As he spoke, Zhou Biao's eyes gradually became emotional. His Adam's apple rolled. After a long while, he spoke with an ups and downs in his breath: "When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed, wearing clean clothes, on an IV drip, and even... even, I had surgery."
He was in the patrol team and knew something about the injuries. When he was shot and fell to the ground, he felt complicated and desperate.
The gunshot wound was penetrating and the fractures were severe.
He must be treated in time, otherwise his arm will be necrotic. The wound will not be small, and he needs medicine to fight infection and inflammation. He needs a lot of medicine. If he were in the sea fort, he might have a chance of survival.
But he fell into the hands of the First Foundation, and even if he survived, he might have ended up having his limbs amputated.
Losing an arm but surviving is the best outcome.
However, he was not amputated.
This was countless times better than the best outcome he had imagined.
"The medical staff at the hospital were also very nice to us. Better than I expected."
The First Base treated them and took care of them.
Yes, it's not just treatment, it's care. He's lying in bed, unable to take care of himself, and needs help with eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
Even though he woke up at first, he was still a little wary and resistant, but soon, with the help of medical staff, he gradually realized that he was wrong.
Although the medical staff were not close to him and did not chat with him, they were very attentive and patient when taking care of him. The same was true for the medical staff who took care of his two companions.
Not even any complaints.
Why?
Didn't they have a grudge against each other? Why wasn't there torture and humiliation?
Zhou Biao's voice was hoarse: "I was indeed wrong, or rather, we were all wrong."
Yuan Zhiyi beside him also bit his lip: "We were indeed wrong."
Zhou Biao said, "We, the Sea Fortress, have been fighting since before the natural disaster. Mad cow disease is no problem, and the rebels are no problem. Who else can survive on the sea except us? We are so powerful. We have fish skin coats, sea blankets, and a sea fortress that is strong enough to resist mutants."
