Chapter 279: Extremely Hot. Survived
While tidying up the warehouse, Wang Ce built a medical laboratory for himself and placed all the medical equipment and medicines that Chu An had stored in it. He spent several hours every day researching drugs to deal with subsequent natural disasters, including cholera, dengue fever and heat stroke.
He prepared a tourniquet, a blood collection needle and a vacuum tube.
Chu An took it out from the space, but for some reason, he couldn't bring himself to do it to Gu Ye. In the end, he could only let Wang Ce out and let him smoke by himself.
Wang Ce scolded her for being useless, and was a little surprised to see that she didn't refute or look unhappy. Then, as if he understood something, he shook his head and started to draw blood from Gu Ye.
When his blood was being drawn, Gu Ye was conscious, but he felt completely powerless, like a puddle of mud, and was also very sleepy.
After drawing blood, Wang Ce checked again. There was no bleeding in his mouth and eyes. "You don't have to worry too much. As long as there is no vomiting and bleeding, he should be able to make it with his physical fitness and will to survive."
Chu An could only listen to him. There was no specific medicine for dengue fever, and no matter how serious the case was, the only treatment was an injection of adrenaline.
Wang Ce used the last two minutes to teach her how to reduce fever physically. "If the fever still doesn't go away after five hours, take some ibuprofen sustained-release capsules. If you feel muscle soreness, take some diazide tablets."
"good."
Chu An didn't dare close his eyes all night. In addition to cooling down Gu Ye, he would open his mouth from time to time to check, for fear that his gums would bleed.
When it was almost dawn, Wang Ce told her the test results, which showed that both white blood cells and platelets were decreased, and 70% was dengue fever.
Knowing the result, she was not so panicked. She pulled open the curtain between the two of them, sat back on her bed, set the alarm for two hours, and then closed her eyes to rest for a while.
She didn't fall asleep, so she didn't enter the space. When the alarm rang, she went to cook porridge. She ate half a bowl herself and fed half a bowl to Gu Ye.
While eating, Gu Ye was relatively conscious, but still felt weak all over.
"Xiao An, I'm sorry for asking you to take care of me again."
"Isn't this normal? When I'm sick, you take care of me. When you're sick, I take care of you. Or do you think I'm too cold-blooded and incapable of taking care of others?"
Gu Ye hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not, I'm just... a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"I'm worried... I won't be able to take care of you in the future. I was looking up dengue fever online yesterday. Many people have died from this disease."
"If you die, who will accompany me?" Chu An didn't look up and started to clean up the dishes. Unconsciously, Gu Ye's position in her heart had already ranked among the top three, but she didn't want to show it yet.
Seeing her like this, Gu Ye's eyes became sore. He didn't want to leave Xiao An either. The two of them had finally come this far, but still hadn't found Lao Chu or Mou Ci. It would be fine even if he handed her over to them.
He lay back on the bed. Ever since his mother left him, he no longer feared death. Even if he died, he still had his mother in heaven, who he missed day and night.
But when he thought about Chu An having to travel through mountains and rivers alone to find Lao Chu and Mou Ci, and facing many unknown dangers, he felt very uncomfortable.
Chu An came to the kitchen and called Zhuona to ask what the situation was like at the base hospital. If possible, she was going to take Gu Ye to the hospital, which was better than staying at home.
Zhuona said the base hospital was in chaos, with many people bitten by insects, and more than 200 people died yesterday. Most importantly, the hospital had no medicine, so even if we went there, we could only endure it.
Chu An took a deep breath and decided to trust Wang Ce. After all, he was at the director level.
After cleaning up the kitchen, she pulled a chair and sat beside his bed, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
When Gu Ye timidly withdrew his gaze, Chu An opened his thin lips slightly and said in an unusually firm voice, "In the past fifteen years, I have basically been through it all by myself. I am not as fragile as you think."
After listening to this, Gu Ye's brows relaxed slightly. This was the Xiao An he knew.
"But I don't want to live alone. Even if I find Old Chu in the future, I won't be able to participate in his life." Chu An's expression suddenly softened, and his voice softened. "When I was young, I could act like a spoiled child. Now that I'm independent, I can't participate in his life. I... just have to make sure he lives well."
"Xiao An..."
Chu An waved his hand, signaling him not to speak, and then continued: "Li Qing has Duoduo, Gangzi, Jinli and those brothers; Yin Tianlin and Tang Xiao are a small group; Zhuona has her mother, her uncle Liu and so many neighbors who sincerely care about them; and I... now I only have you."
Gu Ye couldn't say a word, staring at her blankly.
As he looked, his dark eyes were gradually filled with tears, and he could only lift his chin as much as possible to prevent the tears from flowing out.
"Are you crying because of my corny words?" Chu An teased, "Then I'd better say less in the future."
Hehehe…Big Dog grinned foolishly, rubbed his eyes, forced himself to stand up, hugged Chu An's waist, and buried his head in her waist, "I think you should just scold me, I'm used to it."
Gu Ye held her for a while and fell asleep again.
Chu An laughed at himself, thinking that he had been crazy these past few days. He took the initiative to hug Zhuona and said so many mushy words to Gu Ye.
Where is your sanity? Chu An, where is your sanity?
Gu Ye had a fever for three days in total, and his temperature hovered around 39 degrees.
During these three days, Wang Ce would come out regularly to give him fluids and feed him some smelly medicine. Sometimes he would even ask her in a particularly annoying way if he could also take Gu Ye into the space, as he was short of labor.
I really want to shoot him twice.
On the fourth night, Gu Ye's fever subsided, and the mosquito bites on his arms also disappeared a lot. Wang Ce announced that he had survived.
Chu An breathed a sigh of relief, rewarded himself with a meal of braised pork ribs, and ate while sitting on the bed opposite Gu Ye.
Gu Ye could only swallow his saliva continuously. He had to continue drinking porridge and eating light side dishes for half a month.
"Xiao An, I think I'm fine now. Can you give me a taste?"
Chu An looked at him coldly, "This is your punishment. Do you dare to roll up your sleeves casually in the future?"
Big Dog shook his head hurriedly, "I don't dare anymore. I decided to stay at home and do my homework. I won't go out."
Chu An nodded in satisfaction. Ever since Wang Ce came into being, she hadn't given Gu Ye any papers for a long time. She handed all of them over to Wang Ce. Although the two of them only met for seven minutes a day, it was enough for Wang Ce to scold him.
On the sixth day, Gu Ye was able to go out and do some simple exercises, which showed that all the meat, eggs and milk he had eaten were not in vain. She also added some meat dishes to his diet, but they were not too greasy, and she continued to do it step by step.
She had been so busy taking care of Gu Ye these days that she had forgotten about the lag in her phone.
She picked up her phone again to check the messages. 99% of them were complaining about the high temperature. The hottest time at noon had reached 47 degrees Celsius, and at night it was 41 or 42 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference was very small.
Some people were frying eggs on their balconies, some were showing off their self-cooling fans. Because the friends in the group were prepared, they were able to get by.
Only Yin Tianlin, who went door to door day and night to canvass votes for Zhou Zeyong, suffered from heatstroke and now can only recuperate at home.
The selection of the deputy base commander at the base was quite intense. According to Huo Sisi's gossip, there had been assassinations, seductions, bribery with points, and even some people resorted to witchcraft.
There are four main building managers, the general manager, two bureau directors, and the district chiefs of seven residential areas including Sunshine Classic, District 7, and the Military District Compound. A total of 14 people are eligible to compete, but there are only two positions, a ratio of seven to one.
But these have nothing to do with her. She just stores the information in her brain and continues to browse the page for finding relatives.
