Chapter 278 Extremely Hot. Dengue Fever!
It's 34 degrees at night and probably in the early 40s during the day.
The closer he got to the extreme heat, the calmer Chu An became. Knowing that the facts could not be changed, he stopped thinking about them. He had to live well today, first ensuring his own survival, and then trying his best to help his companions survive.
She admitted that she was still very selfish at heart and would differentiate between people of different levels when interacting with them.
"Xiao An, can I sprinkle some insect repellent on the mosquito bites?" Gu Ye walked into the house with his arm raised, scratching his arm constantly.
Chu An turned his head and found a red swelling the size of a baby's fist on his little arm. It was hard to associate it with a mosquito bite, but the bluish-white hard core in the middle looked very similar.
The surrounding skin has been scratched and bleeding has occurred in serious areas.
Chu An took out the Hundred Poison King, walked over and asked, "When did you bite?"
The two of them were together all the time, how come she didn't notice?
Gu Ye tried hard to recall that the two of them had already placed insect repellent bags around the villa area this morning, also on the second floor, third floor, and rooftop, so it shouldn't have been today.
If it was yesterday... why did it start itching only yesterday?
His brows were twisted into a knot, and he really couldn't remember. "Maybe it was when I was cleaning the road a few days ago. I got a few bites at that time, but the rest are healed."
These days, they and three other households took turns cleaning the community. Many places were overgrown with weeds, and even wearing long sleeves and long pants could not avoid being weeded. Moreover, Gu Ye even rolled up his sleeves several times during the process.
She used her fingers to scoop out a small amount of ointment and applied it evenly to the red and swollen area. "Do you feel anything else?"
Gu Ye shook his head, "No, it's just itchy, and a little painful."
I've scratched it until it's bleeding, how can it not hurt!
Now most of the insects are mosquitoes. The most difficult time will be when the four pests break out completely, which may cause dengue fever.
Although the government is making great efforts to disinfect the water, there is too much dirt in the water and the source of the poison cannot be completely eliminated. The disinfectants are consumed too quickly and cannot last for more than a few days.
After applying the medicine, Chu An gave him antibiotics for fear of infection.
Recently, in order to save electricity, both of them moved into the master bedroom.
Chu An turned the big bed into two single beds, separated them with a curtain, and set the air conditioner to 24 degrees, so the room was still very comfortable.
It’s better not to go out recently if you can. At least this place is relatively safe.
Thinking of this, she found a piece of knowledge about preventing the four pests posted by others on the Internet and forwarded it to the communication group, and then started to check the platform for finding relatives, which was a task she had to do every morning, noon and evening.
As I was scrolling, the picture started to freeze. Sometimes it was motionless, and sometimes it was distorted.
She shook her phone and found that the same thing happened on Gu Ye's end. The two looked at each other silently and tried changing phones. The effect was a little better, but only a little better.
"I went to sleep." Gu Ye said dejectedly.
Chu An was also a little sleepy, and the two of them said good night to each other and went to rest. But before falling asleep, she still had to try one thing - controlling Zi Liu.
Lying on the bed and holding his breath, he first sensed the existence of Zi Liu, then established a connection, and finally increased his mental strength. A purple light instantly cut through the dim room.
She sat up suddenly, looking at the purple vine that appeared out of nowhere and lay motionless in the air, her heart pounding wildly.
This is different from mobilizing spatial pebbles, black soil and stream water. The previous ones were dead objects, while the purple willow was a living being.
Then she tried to release the second one, increasing her mental strength little by little, but still failed until it reached 90%. It seemed that she could only control one now.
She tried to control the length again. The longest distance was 3 meters, and she could control the deformation at will.
She had tested it before, and found that the purple willow was very tough, invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire. It couldn't be said that it could restrain everything, but at least it had no problem blocking ordinary fire attacks.
Purple willow is her last life-saving tool.
The more Chu An thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he couldn't sleep. He really wanted to wake Gu Ye up to share his joy.
Thinking so, she did so, "Gu Ye, are you asleep?"
There was no response from the other side, and even the breathing seemed very weak.
Chu An got out of bed and put on his slippers. He was sweating when he just released Zi Liu, so he went to take a shower first.
When she came back, she deliberately paused beside Gu Ye's bed. Even if Da Gouzi had gotten rid of his inner demons, he would not sleep so soundly. Or perhaps, someone who had experienced the apocalypse for more than a year would remain alert when sleeping.
"Gu Ye, are you okay?"
The quilt stirred slightly, but she still got no response.
She moved closer, grabbed a flashlight from the space, and finally saw Gu Ye's face clearly. His face was very red, his brows were knitted, his eyes were closed, and he kept grinding his teeth as if he was having a nightmare.
I touched his forehead with my hand and it was hot. Then I looked at the mosquito bite on his arm and it seemed to be more red and swollen than before.
"Gu Ye, Gu Ye, can you hear me?" Chu An patted his cheek and called out loudly.
Gu Ye just lifted his eyelids and closed them weakly. After three seconds, he slowly spoke, "Xiao An, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep."
Something was wrong. A bad premonition came to my mind. I quickly used my mental power to connect to the space to find Wang Ce. "What if I get dengue fever?"
Wang Ce had just brought Chen Xun and Guo Changren back to the living area from the mountain. It was not yet dark in this time and space, and as spirits, they did not feel any fatigue, so they basically worked more than 12 hours a day.
"It's not easy." Wang Ce said truthfully, and after being glared at by Shen Xun, he spoke helplessly, "This disease has no solution."
Shen Xun rolled his eyes at him, "Xiao An, don't worry, it may not be this... dengue fever, what symptoms does he have now?"
Although Wang Ce spoke coldly, he actually acted quickly. He put on a white coat and walked into the medical area of the warehouse.
Chu An couldn't see their actions, so he could only say in a deep voice, "He was bitten by a mosquito. There is a bun-sized bump on his arm. He has a fever and is not very conscious."
Shen Xun continued to ask, "Are you experiencing any muscle aches or bone pains?"
Chu An forcibly woke Gu Ye up and asked him if he felt sore all over. Gu Ye gently shook his head.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "She wasn't sore, just tired."
Shen Xun only knew so much about dengue fever, so he had to look at Wang Ce. This time, his gaze had only one purpose: do something, or he would never talk to me again.
Wang Ce lifted the hem of his white coat and instantly entered the role of Doctor Wang, "Check his palms and soles to see if there are any rashes?"
Chu An was stunned for a moment, she hadn't heard Wang Ce speak seriously for a long time, and ever since he met Chen Xun, he seemed to have sealed up his gentleman.
Maybe this is why Chen Xun also misses him. He has faith, loves life, can shoulder his responsibilities, and knows what to do and when to do it.
She withdrew her thoughts and hurriedly checked Gu Ye's palms and soles, "No, there are only mosquito bites on the arms."
"Don't worry, even if it's dengue fever, it's only in the early stages. Draw a tube of blood from him and I'll run a test on it."
