Chapter 122 Cholera
It is definitely impossible to ask Yu Duoduo to get medicine to save people. She is not a savior, and she doesn't want to be a hero of the end of the world.
Whether it was medicines she bought herself or medicines bought for free from the office building, she would keep them well and use them when necessary.
If she could survive to the age of seventy or eighty in the apocalypse, she would inevitably get sick. When she needed medicine, it would be gone. Who would pity her?
“You guys leave here right now, don’t say we don’t have medicine.
The official rescue team doesn't care. What does this have to do with us? Do you pay grain and taxes to the 12th floor? Why do you always go to the 12th floor for all kinds of trouble?
I tell you, there are no doctors or medicines. If you want to die, I can send you off!"
Yu Duoduo swung the sickle forward to block the women in scarves who were still trying to climb up, scaring them.
"Little girl, how can you talk like that? You have no moral integrity at all! You always want to kill people with a knife. I think when the disaster is over, I should lock you up and keep you in jail for the rest of your life!"
The woman with the sickle against her throat screamed, and then she was quickly pulled away by the people behind her, saying as they pulled her away:
"You're trying to kill yourself! Didn't you hear from the relatives of that family that their youngest son was killed by that girl with one blow? Let's leave quickly!"
"But the rescue team said that the doctor has medicine! This disease will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Sooner or later it will be transmitted to our family. There will be no one left in the building..."
The voice gradually faded away, and the people on the 12th floor looked at Xie Yun, trying to find the answer from his face. What did the words that woman just said mean?
"Let's go back first." Xie Yun turned and went upstairs, and the others followed him back to the 12th floor.
Everyone returned to the dining table at 1218. The meal that originally looked sumptuous was completely lost after seeing the various vomit downstairs...
"Looking at the symptoms of those people, it should be cholera." Xie Yun said after sitting down.
"Cholera?" Everyone was familiar with this word, but they didn't understand it.
Xie Yun explained:
"It is a highly contagious disease caused by bacterial infection. It has not appeared often in recent years, but it is one of the only two diseases that fall into the category of Class A infectious diseases in our country. The other one is plague.
The main symptoms of this disease are vomiting and diarrhea, and it spread so quickly all of a sudden. I think it has something to do with the water pollution outside."
"Will this disease be fatal?" Tong Zi asked with concern.
"If there is not enough medicine to treat it, it will lead to kidney failure and shock." Xie Yun looked at Tong Zi and answered seriously.
"We had such close contact with them just now, will we be infected too?" Minan asked anxiously.
"The air cannot be transmitted, but the source of infection is most likely the contaminated water outside."
Xie Yun said as he glanced at the wounds on Wei Dong and Min Nan, “If you touch the water outside, there is a risk of infection.
As for why the people downstairs were infected on a large scale.
It must be that the sanitation conditions in the building were not up to standard, and the vomit and excrement were all in the building, and people came into contact with them, did not wash their hands, and ate them along with the food.”
Yu Duoduo, Tong Zi, Wei Dong, Mi Nan...
Everyone present rushed to the bathroom and washed their hands!
The meal was tasteless, but in order to avoid wasting food, everyone finished every grain of rice in their bowl and went home to sleep.
As a result, early the next morning, Minan and Tong Zi were the first to fall.
When they got up and washed up, they started vomiting in their bathroom, followed by diarrhea, which they had over and over again until they became dehydrated.
Tong Zi's physical condition is not good, and he even has a low fever.
Afterwards, the two of them fell on the bed exhausted.
When Yu Duoduo got up and went out, Xie Yun was already wearing a mask and standing in Tong Zi's kitchen, carefully boiling medicine in a large medicine jar.
When Yu Duoduo walked in, in addition to the smell of medicine, there was also a sour smell in the room that had not yet dissipated after vomiting...
Tong Zi and Wei Dong's bedrooms are on the second floor. At this moment, only Xie Yun, who is boiling medicine, is on the first floor.
"How are they?" Yu Duoduo asked.
"Not very good. I took antibiotics and antidiarrheal drugs three hours ago, but they didn't stop the diarrhea. It looks like the disease is more serious than it appears on the surface." Xie Yun said with a frown.
Yu Duoduo leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Did you encounter this in your previous life? Apart from the plague that came later, I have never heard of cholera appearing in the building."
"It may be caused by the butterfly effect. Because of the official distribution of grain, the influx of foreign population increased dramatically, and the scramble for resources became more obvious. More people died, and earlier, than in the previous life.
The bodies in the water rot, and the number of microorganisms increases to a certain critical value, and an epidemic is bound to break out. "Xie Yun sighed.
"Are you sure you can cure it? Didn't you also go into the water?" Yu Duoduo looked at Xie Yun with concern.
"There are no symptoms for the time being. I have boiled more of the newly prepared Chinese medicine. You can drink some later. You have been in the water before, so it can be used as a precaution even if you don't have any symptoms. Ginseng is added to it, which is just right to replenish your blood." Xie Yun said.
Yu Duoduo gave a thumbs up, so generous!
Xie Yun boiled the Chinese medicine for a full hour, and the 12th floor was filled with a sweet medicinal aroma, which was not the bitter and astringent aroma of ordinary Chinese medicine.
But before everyone on the 12th floor could drink the boiled Chinese medicine, the alarm devices in the stairs started to go off one after another.
The residents downstairs are really getting impatient this time. The damn 12th floor said they had no medicine, but with such a strong smell of medicine, they must be kidding!
Residents who had not been infected or whose symptoms were not serious no longer cared about the shrill sound of the alarm and rushed to the 12th floor.
It was as if he would not give up until he broke down the door on the 12th floor and grabbed the medicine to treat the disease.
Yu Duoduo didn't care at all. He just converted the power of the switch from normal current to extreme current just one second before the crowd rushed over.
The first wave of people who rushed up seemed to have hit the gate, but they did not hit it completely because they were sucked in by the huge magnetic field of the electric switch.
The design of extreme current is not as safe as the switch that Xie Yun had installed before the apocalypse. The maximum current can only make a person unconscious. The current installed by Wei Dong is enough to be lethal.
So when the first wave of people were sucked by the huge electric current, the second, third, and fourth waves that rushed over touched the first wave, and were also sucked firmly to the door like an octopus's suction cup.
After waiting for about 2 minutes, Yu Duoduo stepped forward and turned off the power switch. The people who were sucked outside the door fell backwards one by one from far to near.
Like dominoes or ashes being blown away, there was no sign of life and the building suddenly became silent.
