Because he was carrying the things in his hands and on his back, Song Yue's pace on the return journey was a little slower.
With the last second left, she managed to step onto the first floor of the medical center.
Without the protection of insecticide, the black bugs in the hall swarmed toward her.
The air was filled with greed for flesh and blood, and Song Yue could feel hundreds of eyes staring at him.
As a slightly larger insect took off from the corpse, the other black insects flapped their membranous wings as if they had received an order, and swarmed towards Song Yue.
Song Yue did not panic. He quickly put down the flamethrowers in his left and right hands, leaving only one bottle in his hand.
She spread her legs slightly to lower her center of gravity, then pulled the safety pin and aimed the nozzle at the upper corner.
Three, two, one.
Fire breathing!
The flames spurted out in an instant, like a fire dragon.
The oncoming black bugs were caught off guard and all disappeared into the fire dragon's mouth.
There were bursts of crisp sounds coming from the flames, which were the sounds of the insects being scorched by the high temperature.
Then the black worms carbonized and fell from the flames one by one.
The burnt tentacles curled up together, the slender mouthparts became fragile, and a burning smell quickly spread.
Song Yue held the flamethrower with no fear on his face.
The raging flames continued to engulf the black bugs, and soon, no more black bugs dared to fly up.
She let go of Lijia's handle and found that her feet were covered with dense insect shells.
Sure enough, no creature in this world can escape the raging fire.
Taking advantage of the fact that no black bugs dared to come up to her, she picked up the six flamethrowers again and rushed back to the third floor without even breathing.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Dr. Chen and Jiaojiao stood up quickly.
"It's Xiaoyue! I'll go open the door!" Jiaojiao is young and moves faster than Dr. Chen. She walked to the door first and carefully opened the ward door.
After confirming that it was Song Yue outside the door, she showed joy and quickly widened the crack in the door: "Hurry, come in."
The door was locked again.
Song Yue placed the ten flamethrowers on the ground one by one, panting slightly and saying, "I can't take too much by myself, so I only brought back these."
She didn't mention the 36 bottles in the space, mainly because she couldn't trust the person in front of her 100%.
Even though Dr. Chen and Jiaojiao left a good impression on her, but...
To be on the safe side, the trump card must be kept until last.
Obviously, Dr. Chen and Jiaojiao did not doubt her. Not only did they not doubt her, they even felt that she was completely gambled her life by going out. Her courage was admirable. How could they think it was not enough?
Jiaojiao kept shaking her head: "It's quite a lot, quite a lot! Ten bottles in total!"
If she were to go, she would probably have a hard time carrying even two bottles.
A flamethrower is heavier than a fire extinguisher because the burning material in the bottle is compressed again and again. In addition, its volume is larger than that of a fire extinguisher, so one bottle is almost equivalent to 1.5 bottles of the latter.
The other party carried back 10 bottles in one breath. She had nothing but admiration for his stamina and strength!
Doctor Chen was also amazed at Song Yue's endurance: "You have such great physical fitness! You actually brought back so much!"
He himself is a doctor and is very aware of the gap in physical strength between men and women. Except for professional athletes, under normal circumstances, women's arm strength is only about 60% of men's.
I didn't expect that although Miss Song looked thin, she had lean muscles under her clothes.
Dr. Chen was surprised and looked at Song Yue with admiration.
Xue Dinghui behind him was also quite restless. He looked at the flamethrowers scattered on the ground and couldn't help frowning.
This woman is so strong, it's really abnormal.
He scoffed inwardly, crossed his arms, and said, "The flamethrower isn't easy to use. It's heavy and dangerous. We should study it thoroughly before leaving the ward."
He finally got the chance to speak, so of course he wouldn't let it go.
Unexpectedly, Song Yue said lightly, slapping him back in the face: "No need to study, I know how to use it, I will teach you."
Xue Dinghui gritted his teeth and his face became a little more ferocious.
Jiaojiao didn't notice his abnormality. She was originally worried about how to use it, but when she heard Song Yue say that she knew how to use it, she immediately smiled: "Wow, Xiaoyue, how come you know everything? You are amazing!"
Song Yue smiled faintly, looking away from Xue Dinghui's face. "It's nothing. The school once organized a visit to the firefighting center, and I learned a little bit about how to use various tools."
The fire center not only has firefighting equipment, but also flamethrowers, which many people don’t know.
After the explanation, Song Yue began to talk about his plan.
"There are 10 flamethrowers in total. Jiaojiao and I each have 2, and Doctor Chen and Doctor Xue each have 3."
"I have a backpack that can carry mine. Besides the one I'm carrying, how can I carry the rest of the flamethrower with me?"
As soon as the voice fell, Jiaojiao immediately took over: "Don't worry about that, I can tie all kinds of knots. There are many bandages in the intensive care unit. I can help you wrap the bottle around your back. Just untie the knot when you want to use it."
Never underestimate a nurse's hands-on skills.
Song Yue smiled with relief: "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
A few minutes later, Jiaojiao successfully tied the flamethrower to everyone's back, including her own. The speed was so fast that Xue Dinghui was quite amazed.
"I didn't expect a young nurse could know all these things." He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled unnaturally.
Doctor Chen said, "Don't underestimate nurses. Before Jiaojiao came to our center, she was the top student in her grade at the Nursing College. She's very good at both theory and practice, and has won many awards."
As he said this, he gave Jiaojiao an approving look.
Xue Dinghui had a lump in his throat and didn't respond.
Song Yue glanced at everyone and continued, "I checked the third floor when I came back. There weren't many black bugs, only a few on the walls and ceiling. I'll go out later and show you how to use the equipment."
After a pause, he asked, "By the way, your center should be equipped with medical protective clothing, right?"
Hearing her question, Dr. Chen nodded quickly: "Yes, it's in the warehouse at the end of the corridor on the second floor."
Medical protective clothing has antiviral effects. At this critical moment, wearing it can prevent black insects from biting you.
Song Yue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go to the warehouse on the second floor and put on our protective suits. Then we'll go to the top floor and clean out the corpses and black bugs room by room. Remember to mark the rooms we clean. We'll work from top to bottom and try to clean the entire building. Does anyone have any opinions?"
Her thinking was clear and her work instructions were understandable. Dr. Chen and Jiaojiao had no objections.
Although Xue Dinghui was not comfortable with her taking the lead, since the teachers and colleagues all listened to her, it was not easy for him to jump out alone, so he just nodded, which was considered as agreement.
"Okay, I'll open the door then."
After confirming that the three people behind him were ready, Song Yue pushed open the door.
A foul smell immediately wafted into my nose.
Doctor Chen, Jiaojiao and the other two immediately realized where the smell came from. Their hearts sank, and without saying a word, they quickly followed the person ahead.
Song Yue showed them Yuan Hongfan, and the moment the flames burst out, a heat wave quickly rose in the corridor.
There was a sizzling sound in the air, and soon the black bugs stuck to the walls and ceiling fell down.
If you see this kind of scene for the first time, you will inevitably feel your scalp tingling.
Jiaojiao stood behind Song Yue and couldn't help but hiss.
Song Yue comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'll lead the way in front, you just follow me, let's go downstairs."
The intensive care unit is on the third floor and the warehouse is on the second floor.
As he walked down the stairs from the third floor, Song Yue continued to use the flamethrower, spraying the corpses on the stairs that had not completely decayed.
This is done to prevent the black bugs from coming back when they smell the blood and flesh, so that they don't have to clean it up again and waste resources.
There are twice as many black bugs on the second floor as on the third floor. Dr. Chen and the others may not be aware of this, but Song Yue knows why.
When an insect plague broke out in the lobby on the first floor, some people rushed upstairs, but many did not have time to climb to the third and fourth floors and were stung by black bugs on the second floor.
The black bug's venom takes effect very quickly. Those who are infected will quickly fall into convulsions and lose the ability to move on the second floor.
Looking at the rows of half-rotted corpses in the corridor on the second floor, Jiaojiao's face was very solemn: "I didn't expect the medical center to become like this..."
The place that used to be a place for saving lives and healing the wounded has now become a purgatory.
This contrast makes her, as a medical worker, feel very uncomfortable.
"I'll lead the way, and you'll be responsible for burning the bodies on the ground." Song Yue didn't respond to Jiaojiao's words, but continued to give orders.
Jiaojiao understood what she meant, and immediately got out of her depressed mood and said "Okay".
The corpse cannot be left behind, otherwise it will only attract more black bugs, and may even hatch maggot eggs and other creatures, making them more difficult to clean up.
Tongues of fire shot out from Jiaojiao's nozzle, aiming at the two corpses on the ground.
Doctor Chen then pressed the handle and began to burn the dead body at his feet.
Xue Dinghui also followed suit and turned on the flamethrower.
Relying on this rhythm, they advanced towards the end of the corridor at a steady speed.
Finally reaching the warehouse door, Dr. Chen stepped forward and said, "Let me do it. I have the key."
As he spoke, he reached into the pocket of his white coat, took out the key, inserted it, and turned it.
The door creaked open.
Suddenly, Song Yue opened her eyes and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
He pushed Dr. Chen away with force and raised the flamethrower at the same time!
Flames burst out!
The dark warehouse was illuminated by the flames, and thick smoke and a burning smell rushed out!
Dr. Chen suddenly realized something and his pupils dilated.
"Thank you, Xiaoyue..." He took a deep breath and said with lingering fear.
If Miss Song hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit in the face by the flying black bug!
Song Yue: "It's nothing. From now on, be vigilant before opening the door."
The warehouse is not as airtight as the intensive care unit. Just before Dr. Chen pushed the door, she suddenly realized that there might be something inside. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and eliminated the black bugs, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After she finished speaking, she took out a flashlight from her bag and scanned the warehouse that had been burned by high temperature. After confirming that the corpses and black bugs inside were burnt, she reached out and pressed the switch on the wall.
Bang, the warehouse suddenly became bright.
A body dressed in what looked like cleaning clothes lay sprawled on the ground.
Jiaojiao covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, "This is... Aunt Wu who cleans the house!"
Before entering the intensive care unit yesterday, the other party greeted her with a smile.
But in the blink of an eye... a living person turned into this...
Doctor Chen sighed and patted her shoulder: "Put on protective clothing first."
Even the people in the room were not spared, and the patients, family members, doctors and nurses on other floors were probably not much better off.
The group quickly took out the protective suits, and Song Yue also took one.
Now that they were protected, the tension in their hearts was relieved a lot when they went upstairs again.
When they reached the top floor, the sixth floor, the four of them began to divide the work. Dr. Chen and Xue Dinghui were responsible for cleaning the corridor and rooms on the left, while Song Yue and Jiaojiao were responsible for the right.
Compared to the second floor, the sixth floor seemed quite empty. When Song Yue took Jiaojiao to clean the wards one by one, they found that several wards were empty.
Jiaojiao explained, "Actually, the climate here on the island is pleasant, and there were very few poisonous insect stings in the past, so there weren't many people hospitalized, and the sixth floor was empty most of the time."
So that's how it is. Song Yue nodded. This actually reduced their workload.
The two entered the ward one by one, locked the windows first, and then began to check the bed, under the bed, cabinets, ceiling, windowsill... no corner could be missed.
Once you've confirmed that the room is clean and free of black bugs, you can exit.
If there is a single toilet, the toilet door should also be closed to prevent black bugs from coming in through the vents.
After doing this, Song Yue took out the red marker she had prepared in advance, ticked the word "Lijia" on the door, and then went on to the next room.
With their cooperation, the two of them cleaned up quite smoothly, but Dr. Chen encountered a minor incident.
However, with the experience on the second floor, Dr. Chen and Xue Dinghui responded very promptly this time.
When they opened the door of a ward, they found black bugs flying out, so they pressed the handle at the same time, and the fire in the nozzle burst out!
The black bugs were burned to death instantly. The two men looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
There were two patients in the ward they were examining. Both of them were lying on the beds in a mummified state, with IV tubes connected to their arms. Unfortunately, the medicine in the bottle could no longer be injected into their bodies.
This time, after only a quick glance, Dr. Chen withdrew his gaze, walked to the half-open window, closed and locked the window glass, and then said calmly, "Clean it up."
Wrapping the corpse in a bed sheet, two people dragged the body to the corridor outside. One person breathed fire to destroy the bed sheet and the bones together, while the other continued to check the room, confirmed that there were no black bugs, closed the door, and ticked it with a marker.
Apart from this ward, they didn't see any other patients afterwards, and the subsequent cleaning speed increased.
The whole process took just over an hour, and the 6th floor was completely cleaned and all the rooms were checked off.
"It feels quite efficient." Jiaojiao felt quite accomplished and smiled through her protective suit.
Song Yue: "There are few people on the 6th floor. That's how it is. The further down we go, the more complicated the situation will be. Everyone, be careful."
Everyone calmed down and nodded, "Okay!"
The author has something to say:
My dears, in the last chapter I wrote about a flamethrower, not a fire extinguisher!
Also, there was no flamethrower in the hospital. The heroine went to the fire station to get one! (collapsed)
