Chapter 268 Poison Mist
In fact, the six people who stay in the basement all day are not a big problem. The most dangerous one is Le Yan.
He is now in charge of leading a team of more than a dozen people to conduct field research in a special area designated by the government - outdoor planting technology in extremely hot environments.
Yu Duoduo knew that when the poisonous fog arrived, the outdoors would be the most dangerous place.
So starting from these few days, Le Yan has to wear a mask when going out in the morning to avoid the sudden attack of white fog.
It's quite difficult for him. After all, it's such a hot day and he has to wear an airtight mask. Maybe in the eyes of others, he is an alien.
But Yu Duoduo had no choice. It was the end of the world. As long as he could save his life, no one would care about what others thought.
Fortunately, the authorities have equipped a special ground sprinkler system. In addition to watering the fields to prevent the ground from cracking, it can also be controlled to wet the researchers' clothes in a small area, thereby achieving a cooling effect by evaporating water.
As expected, five days after the official warning was issued, white fog arrived quietly in the early morning.
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun slept in the space at night and were not affected by the outside world.
Before going to bed, they had locked and closed every corner of the large flat, sealing it tightly to ensure that there would be no abnormalities when they left the space the next day.
The two got up very early because they had morning exercises to do every day.
Looking out from the space, they immediately noticed that the windows of the large flat where they lived were filled with fog, with visibility no more than 3 meters.
Realizing that the white fog had arrived, Yu Duoduo quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and called Tong Zi and Min Nan's families.
Tell them not to go out until the fog dissipates. It is best to wear a mask at home to prevent any air from being inhaled into the nasal cavity.
But it is clear that not everyone can avoid this plague.
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun saw from the teleportation mirror of the space earth building that there were a small number of people in the base, walking through the white fog.
Perhaps because people are busy making a living, they seem to have completely forgotten the horrifying rumors from a few days ago, and did not take the official warnings seriously.
He was so stubborn that he didn't take any defensive measures. He just walked on the main road of the base with his bare chest, wiping his sweat, as if he didn't believe that there could be any super bacteria in the white fog.
Fortunately, outside the base, there were dozens of official shelters, which prevented all the people waiting in long queues outside from being exposed to the white fog.
There are some smart people among them who know to cover their mouths and noses with multiple layers of thick cloth to filter the air. Although this has little effect, it is better than doing nothing.
Not long after, a rumbling sound was heard above the base... The sound came from far away and became closer, as if a huge ship was rolling over the base.
Yu Duoduo listened to the voice and felt it was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
It only took Yu Duoduo three minutes to see clearly what the huge noise surrounding his head was.
Military helicopter!
Ten military helicopters circled over the base, their huge propellers spinning at high speed at low altitude, using the most violent but most effective way to quickly disperse the white fog and reduce its contact with the crowd.
It has to be said that the official base is courageous. When faced with the life and death of the people, no matter how precious the aircraft fuel is, it has to be dispatched without any ambiguity.
The helicopter circled over the base for a full three hours until the first ray of morning sunlight broke through the clouds and shone onto the ground, completely evaporating the water vapor in the white mist. Only then did it finish its work.
Generally speaking, bacterial infections have an incubation period, but this unknown super bacteria is quite overbearing. When the fog dissipated and the vision became clear again, I found that many people were lying inside and outside the base...
These people looked very scary from a distance. There were large clusters of black and red abscesses and blisters on their faces and necks, as if they were crawling by poisonous insects.
Yu Duoduo knew that these abscesses were poisonous. Once the water broke, they would grow wherever the water flowed and would soon spread all over the body, causing the infected person to fester and die.
This process is so fast that it is impossible to rescue the patient, because even the strongest antibiotics cannot suppress the reproduction of super bacteria, and there is no cure at all.
What’s more, in the past two years since the end of the world, antibiotics have been extremely scarce, and those infected can only wait to die on the spot.
What's even more terrible is that in this situation, you cannot get close to the patient at will. Rescue will cause physical contact, and the rescuer who touches the pus will be immediately invaded by bacteria, causing a larger area of infection.
But others don't know this.
Soon, Yu Duoduo saw from his window that all members of the medical team went out and began to treat the wounded in the base.
This is really terrible. If the medical team at the base is infected during this rescue operation, then... I dare not think about it...
Yu Duoduo looked outside silently. The good news was that in this situation of extreme shortage of medical supplies, the doctors and nurses of the medical team were wearing protective masks and latex gloves.
The bad news is, they only have masks and gloves.
In the process of trying to treat infected patients, as long as a little bit of the patient's pus gets on the skin, it is easy to be invaded by super bacteria, which is actually not much different from going into battle shirtless.
Yu Duoduo turned his head and saw Xie Yun's profile. Like himself, he was frowning and looking at everything outside, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Brother Yun."
"Um?"
"Why don't we donate a batch of medical supplies!" Yu Duoduo said softly.
This caused Xie Yun to turn his head and look at her, "Have you thought about it?"
Yu Duoduo looked out the window and said, "Well, I've thought about it.
When I was just reborn, I was unsure and thought that as long as I could survive, it would be fine. Later, when I saw that there was hope in my life, I wanted to settle the grudges from my previous life.
Now that my revenge is complete, I have basically everything I wanted. I have no worries about food, clothing, and shelter. My life is even smoother than before the end of the world.
Mencius said, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world."
In the past, when supplies were scarce, helping others was considered beyond one’s capabilities.
But it’s different now. We have enough supplies from all over the place. Even if 100 more people come, we still won’t be able to eat or use them all.
There are even more medical supplies, including the ones you have stockpiled, plus the Chinese medicinal materials grown on the two mountains, as well as those collected by the Qinglian Gang in the bunker, and those raided from the Lin family's basement.
Seeing how the top brass at the base value the lives of ordinary people, I also want to do something for the base.
After all, the medical team at the base is much more diverse than the rescue team of the Lin family in Hui City. They care about the common people and are willing to protect them, so let us also contribute a little bit of our strength to protect them!"
After Xie Yun heard this, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Okay, then I'll thank you on their behalf!"
