Jiang Fei looked at the back of his right hand.
On the skin of the tiger's mouth, several small blisters the size of sesame seeds appeared at some point, connected in a line.
It was like something had drilled in and dug a tunnel.
Lu Yu also has it on his hand.
Not knowing the reason, Jiang Fei didn't dare to move and took out the walkie-talkie to try to call his teammates.
The three working people haven't finished get off work yet at this time. I wonder if I can contact the chatterbox and the others.
Unexpectedly, I got a reply from Xiao Chuxia.
She worked overtime at the research institute all night yesterday and took a break today to catch up on her sleep at home.
"When did you come back, young lady?"
"We used the teleportation charm two or three hours ago."
Jiang Fei told Xiao Chuxia about the symptoms on the back of his hand:
"Have we been bitten by some bug?"
Xiao Chuxia's voice instantly became anxious: "Sister, please prepare the alcohol, needles, and medicine box. I'll go downstairs now!"
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Yu went over and opened the door.
Xiao Chuxia outside was wearing medical protective clothing, covering herself from head to toe.
Jiang Fei had already taken out the corresponding items from the supermarket warehouse as she said.
Xiao Chuxia closed the window first.
Use the high-concentration alcohol given by Jiang Fei to disinfect 102.
Especially the windows, Xiao Chuxia disinfected them four or five times before taking off her mask and asking Jiang Fei:
"Which hand did you get the blister on, little sister?"
"This one." Jiang Fei stretched out his right hand.
Xiao Chuxia disinfected the needle.
Then he pricked a small blister on Jiang Fei's hand and gently scraped it on both sides with the other end of the needle.
After a while, two small black spots appeared where the blisters broke.
Like two black sesame seeds.
Xiao Chuxia wiped it off with a tissue and disinfected Jiang Fei's wound.
Use the same method to treat the blisters on the back of Lu Yu's hand.
He squeezed out more black spots than Jiang Fei, five or six in total.
"Do you have any blisters anywhere else on your body?"
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu shook their heads.
They wore thermostatic suits inside to protect against bites and knife cuts, but their hands and heads were the only ones that were not protected.
Unable to tell what kind of insect the small sesame seed was, Jiang Fei asked:
"What kind of bug is this?"
"I don't know either. I only know that it's a small, transparent flying insect that likes to drill into the bodies of humans and animals, chewing flesh and laying eggs."
Xiao Chuxia told Jiang Fei and Lu Yu about the base.
Three months ago, the eternal night ended and they welcomed endless cloudy days.
Fortunately, no new disasters occurred.
We thought the end of the world was over, but a week ago, a large number of transparent flying insects suddenly appeared in the base.
They are barely visible to the naked eye.
The body of this insect is very hard and only turns black after death, like a black sesame seed.
The transparent little flies will enter the body through the eyes, mouth, nose, ears, minor wounds, or by biting through the skin.
Laying eggs while crawling.
The initial symptoms of those infected are very similar to those of scabies.
Small blisters and tunnels may appear on the skin, accompanied by itching and minimal stinging.
The itching will worsen at night, making people want to use an iron brush to scrub the affected area to relieve the itching.
If the bugs are not picked out in time, they can cause fever, infection, nerve damage, allergies, deafness, blindness and other problems.
In severe cases, brain death may occur.
Because the transparent little flies will eventually drill into the human brain and have a feast.
No one in the entire base knew about this kind of bug, and there was no medicine to deal with it.
In just one week, the number of deaths and infections exceeded quadruple digits.
What is certain is that infected people are not contagious.
And high concentration of alcohol can kill small transparent flying insects.
Therefore, the base will be disinfected every two hours.
At the same time, residents are required to wear protective equipment when going out and spray their entire body with alcohol every time they enter and exit to prevent any surviving small flying insects.
After all, they have very strong reproductive capacity.
A small transparent fly can lay a large number of eggs in a few minutes, which hatch at an extremely fast speed.
There is no way to kill them all.
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu were infected because they had just opened the windows for ventilation.
If they hadn't been lucky and the base had just completed a wave of disinfection, the situation would probably have been even more serious.
Xiao Chuxia: "Although the small flying insects on your hands have been picked out, the insects have laid eggs."
"The eggs in the human body hatch very slowly, taking about four or five hours."
"Right now, the base has no way to remove the eggs from humans and animals. We can only wait for them to hatch and then pick them out."
"You will develop high fever, fatigue and other symptoms later. I will stay in Room 102 to watch over the young lady tonight."
"After the eggs hatch, they'll crawl around everywhere. It's inconvenient for me to help Brother Lu pick out the insects."
"Wait until Liu Yuan and Zhao Rui get off work, and I'll ask them to come over and look after Brother Lu."
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu felt their scalps tingle after hearing this.
Everyone wants to peel off the skin and flesh and carefully search for insect eggs inside.
Thinking of his behavior of opening the window, Jiang Fei couldn't help feeling annoyed.
She had no idea that a new disaster had occurred at the base.
I opened the window because I was annoyed by the dust in the room and it was choking.
If she had known this would happen, she would rather be choked to death by the dust than be so restless now.
The only thing to be thankful for was that she didn't take the rhubarb and the others out of the supermarket after finishing her work.
Just in case, Jiang Fei took out two life-saving pills and gave them to Xiao Chuxia.
If her and Lu Yu's condition is serious, feed them.
Less than half an hour later, Jiang Fei felt a little dizzy.
Xiao Chuxia took out a thermometer to measure her temperature.
38℃.
She started to have a fever.
Lu Yu's body temperature also rose.
"Miss, Brother Lu, each of you take a pill of the enhanced special medicine."
"The special medicine has little effect on the high fever caused by the transparent little flies, but it can relieve some discomfort."
There was no drinking water in 102, so Jiang Fei took out two bottles of fountain water and took medicine with Lu Yu.
Xiao Chuxia helped Jiang Fei back to the bedroom.
Lu Yu was lying on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui.
After locking the door, Jiang Fei took off his clothes and went to bed, leaving only a set of underwear on.
Afraid that she would be cold, Xiao Chuxia turned on the air conditioner.
The base's air conditioning ducts and external chassis have been re-protected to prevent small transparent flying insects from flying in.
Xiao Chuxia sat by the bed, shining a small flashlight on Jiang Fei's skin, looking for any new blisters.
As time passed, Jiang Fei's dizziness became more severe.
My whole body is hot and I have chills from time to time.
Consciousness gradually becomes blurred.
Jiang Fei fell asleep unknowingly...
