Chapter 618: The End of Changjia Village 2
At two o'clock in the morning, the mine, which was bustling during the day, was completely swallowed up by the night and the silence was eerie.
Suddenly a terrifying scream broke the silence and startled the sleeping person.
The resting place for local miners is much better, with tents and beds... But it also has one disadvantage, it is closest to the resting place for the abducted miners.
Zhao Shan was woken up. He looked at his watch and saw it was only two o'clock. His face turned pale as he opened the tent and roared, "What are you yelling about?"
Seeing that all the abducted miners were outside the tent, they were all scared out of their wits.
Zhao Shan shouted impatiently, "You dogs, why are you making such a fuss instead of sleeping?"
Old Wu rushed out of the tattered tent, his face pale with anxiety: "Boss Zhao, the cripple is dying!"
"Just die, it's none of my business!" Zhao Shan yelled back in frustration.
Old Wu shook his head and said, "No, that new professor of medicine who came today said that the lame man died of an illness, and he even said that the disease was contagious!"
Zhao Shan paused in his attempt to lift the tent, then grabbed Old Wu by the collar, his expression extremely grim: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, go and take a look. The lame man died in such a tragic way." Old Wu was trembling with fear.
Zhao Shan pushed Old Wu away and looked at the guys standing outside who refused to go into the tent, with surprise and confusion in his eyes.
He was about to go in to check when the other people from Zhaojia Village who had been woken up grabbed him and said, "Brother Shan, you can't go in!"
"If what this old man said is true, we must not enter this tent! Getting sick is no small matter."
"What if you are trying to scare me?" Zhao Shan glanced at Old Wu with a sinister and fierce look.
Old Wu shuddered and defended himself, "Boss Zhao, there's no need for me to lie about something like this. It won't do any good."
The old man is right.
Zhao Shan hesitated for a moment, then thought of the newcomer Old Wu had mentioned. He said angrily, "Call over that professor you were talking about."
Old Wu pointed to the broken tent and said, "He's inside."
"Call him out!" Zhao Shan urged him.
Old Wu shrank his neck and said, "I won't go in. The professor said that Cripple Zhang's disease is contagious. What if..."
"Fuck you!" Zhao Shan was so angry that he raised his foot to kick him. Just then, the tent was opened and two young men walked out. They were dressed in rags, but their skin was very white. Each one was more refined than the other, and they did look like scholars.
Old Wu shuddered and said, "Professor, is Cripple Zhang's disease really contagious?"
Meng Guan nodded and said, "Sepsis."
"What the hell?" Zhao Shan looked confused.
Old Wu also asked nervously, "How can it be an infectious disease? Old Zhang has just had a cough recently."
Meng Guan explained: "This disease is spread by rats. In the early stages, there is coughing and expectoration. In the middle stages, there is difficulty breathing and vomiting blood. It takes no more than 24 hours from onset to death, and the patient will die from respiratory failure."
When Zhao Shan heard about coughing and coughing up blood, his face changed.
He also ran into the lame man who coughed from morning to night.
Old Wu remembered his own lines and asked, "Professor, can this disease be cured?"
Meng Guan shook his head and sighed, "It can't be cured. This disease develops quickly and is highly contagious. There's no effective medicine, so it can't be controlled at all."
Old Wu and the other miners immediately became nervous and shouted, "I don't want to die!"
Infected by the atmosphere, local miners also became nervous.
At this moment, Old Wu grabbed his throat and suddenly began scratching it frantically, followed by a coughing fit that shook the earth.
Zhao Shan, who was closest to him, was sprayed in the face with saliva. He was startled and quickly stepped back.
What was even more frightening was that Old Wu coughed a few times and actually spat out a mouthful of blood, covering the ground with bright red!
"Professor, save me!" Old Wu fell to the ground, his whole body convulsing from coughing.
Meng Guan retreated and yelled, "Get out of the way! Cover your mouth and nose!"
Everyone stepped back and formed a circle. They saw Old Wu spitting out blood in large mouthfuls, his voice becoming smaller and smaller, and finally there was no movement.
Zhao Shan swallowed his saliva and heard the miners say that Old Wu had the best relationship with Lame Zhang and had the longest contact with him, so he must have been the first one to be infected.
Meng Guan stepped forward, covering his mouth and nose, and tentatively tested his breathing before shaking his head: "Dead."
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not. Everyone is afraid of the unexpected.
Zhao Shan thought about the spit he had been sprayed with by Old Wu, and his heart skipped a beat: "I want to get out, I want to get out!"
"Let us out! I don't want to die!"
The crowd pushed and shoved towards the mine exit.
Luo Laojiu was woken up by the noise. Seeing Zhao Shan and his men making trouble again, he was furious. He quickly had people block the exit and shouted, "Zhao Shan, you idiot, what are you doing again!"
The supervisor and the local miners collided with each other, and in the rear where no one was paying attention, Old Wu quietly got up.
He crawled into the shabby tent and spat out the blood from his mouth: "How was the performance?"
"Awesome!" Wang Honghong gave a thumbs up.
"I learned it seriously in a theater when I was young." In order to act realistically and scare Zhao Shan, Old Wu bit his tongue and now his speech is a little unclear.
Jiang Chen stopped the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Old Wu, quickly lead your men out of the abandoned mine."
Old Wu did not hesitate any longer. His mission was to get out of the abandoned mine, go down the mountain and tell the police at the foot of the mountain about what happened at the mine.
While the attention was diverted, he took the 22 abducted miners and quietly sneaked into the abandoned mine.
Jiang Chen and the other two went to the place where the detonators were stored in the mine.
