Chapter 23 Chapter 23
Xu Feng, who was originally talking to Qin Wei, saw Ye Xun coming over and immediately came over to express his gratitude to Ye Xun.
"Brother Ye, thank you for buying medicine from you last time. Did you receive those things?"
I'm talking about that pile of instant noodles.
Ye Xun nodded: "Got it."
I'm glad to have received it. At that time, my son passed away, my husband and I had a quarrel, and I was with my son day and night and had the virus on me. I was in a very bad state, so I left the things at the door and left.
After I regained my confidence, not long after, I heard the government broadcast an announcement about building a base, so I signed up immediately. I didn't expect to meet the big brother next to Ye Xun. It was also fate.
He had just taken a look at the condition of the dead man. In addition to food residues, the vomit contained a large pool of blood, and a large number of flat, long worms that were constantly wriggling in the filth.
How long were they? He roughly estimated that each worm was at least two meters long.
Countless worms were entangled together and wriggling in the filth. If it weren't for his improved psychological endurance, he would have vomited it out at that time.
Just the description gave people goose bumps. Ye Xun touched his arm and shivered. Fortunately, he did not insist on watching it.
Listening to Xu Feng's description, Ye Xun guessed that it was most likely a tapeworm infection. Drinking sewage would raise the probability of parasitic infection very high, but Qin Wei said that the water was boiled every time it was used.
Tapeworms can be killed by high-temperature cooking, but this person is still infected. The most likely possibility is that the tapeworms are evolving.
Survival of the fittest. Other creatures' ability to adapt to the environment is much stronger than that of humans. The simpler the structure of the animal, the faster it adapts.
"It may be an infection with pork tapeworm. This tapeworm parasitizes in the intestines and can cause gastrointestinal perforation in severe cases. After get off work, remember to wash your hands before eating." Ye Xun took Qin Wei to an empty corner to eat. Before leaving, he kindly reminded Xu Feng to pay attention to personal hygiene, as diseases can enter the body through the mouth.
Xu Feng thanked him gratefully.
The two found a deserted place and Ye Xun took the lunch box out of his backpack.
I didn't dare make the meal I brought for Qin Wei too sumptuous, and he didn't have the cooking skills, so I simply added some seasonings and stir-fried it, and it tasted okay.
The three dishes I made today were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, pan-fried chicken breast and greens, and a boiled egg. There were too many eggs in the space, and Ye Xun was desperately trying to find ways to use them up every day, which caused Qin Wei to be a little scared when he saw the eggs.
"Give these eggs to Wang Yu in the future. She is a girl and has to take care of vegetables and chickens every day, so she should eat more." Qin Wei tried to divert the blame.
"Ah, Xiaoyu has some too. I'm afraid she doesn't get enough nutrition, so I cook two boiled eggs for her every day. It's not bad for her to eat more." When Ye Xun said this, his mouth never relaxed. Of course he knew that Qin Wei was tired of eating eggs, but thinking of the mountains of eggs in the space, he could only let them eat for a while longer.
Hearing that his sister-in-law was more pitiful than him, Qin Wei said nothing and just ate the eggs in silence.
Seeing that he was so pitiful, Ye Xun took out a can of fat otaku happy water from his bag, which was still cold, and secretly stuffed it into Qin Wei's hand, "While there is no one around, drink it quickly."
Qin Wei was very satisfied after getting the Coke. In the past, he hardly touched these carbonated drinks in order to maintain his figure, but he didn't expect that he likes them now.
Just when Qin Wei finished the last sip of Coke, two people in protective suits came over. The government was also worried about the emergence of new infectious diseases.
Before confirming whether there was a virus infection, the construction site was closed early. No similar situation has occurred in the planting area for the time being, and work continues.
Upon hearing that it was a holiday, Ye Xun hurriedly stood up, put away the cans and lunch boxes, and walked towards the exit of the construction site holding Qin Wei's hand.
There are time clock machines at the entrance and exit. Workers need to punch in and out to facilitate the counting of working hours. Family members who come to deliver meals need to register, and then there will be a secondary card. If it is lost, a replacement card must be applied for. Of course, the replacement is not free and must be purchased with food.
There were quite a few people on the way back. Now everyone is used to the habit of staying up at night and sleeping during the day. They sleep during the day and gather downstairs to chat at night. If there are people who play mahjong at home, they can even get together for a table.
After returning home, Ye Xun went to the storage room, and when he came back, he had a few pills in his hand and poured a glass of water, which he handed to Qin Wei, "This is anthelmintic, you should take it quickly." Although tapeworms are transmitted through the fecal-oral route, they can evolve to the point where they cannot be killed even by boiling water. Who knows if they can be transmitted through droplets?
Not only Qin Wei, but he himself also needed to eat. After all, he had just returned from the construction site. Ye Xun fed himself a few pills and swallowed them with water.
Now I can finally put my mind at ease.
The people who were taken away from the construction site were dissected after their families' consent. After the bodies were opened, the conditions inside the bodies shocked everyone present.
The virus test results showed that he was not carrying any virus.
But the muscles, tissues, and internal organs in the body were all occupied by tapeworms, and were densely covered with holes chewed by the worms, especially the stomach, which was perforated.
Even the brain is full of wormholes.
Those who had poor psychological endurance simply bent over and vomited.
After the autopsy results came out, they were posted on the community bulletin board, emphasizing that all residents should never drink any water other than that from the well, and the disinfection of the wells was strengthened.
This incident caused panic, and many people drank river water. Now they are regretting why they tried to save money. There is no pesticide in the base, so everything depends on fate.
For a period of time afterwards, people were taken away for vomiting worms every day, and those who were taken away basically never came back.
After ruling out infectious diseases, the construction site continued to operate. After this incident, no one was in the business of selling water anymore, and everyone kept the water for themselves to drink.
Many people worked on the construction of the wall. In one month, the three-meter-high wall of Shuijing Jiayuan was completed, and several rows of flat buildings were also completed at the same time.
The vacant houses on the low floors and flats in the community will be given priority to families with elderly people over 65 years old. Regular population censuses will be conducted, and if an elderly person dies unexpectedly, the family will have to move to higher floors.
Residents who hold property certificates for the residential complex can live there unconditionally, but tenants and outsiders need sufficient hours of work or materials to offset the rent.
Ye Xun was very glad that he bought the house at that time, otherwise he would also be a worker on the construction site.
He looked at Qin Wei's skin which had become bronze due to sun exposure and his muscles which had become stronger due to physical work. Qin Wei used to look like a handsome guy, but now he looked like a man who was not easy to mess with.
The shapes of his abdominal muscles and pectoral muscles have become fuller. He said that muscle gain still depends on talent. He has been exercising for so long, but except for his increased strength, the flesh on his body is still soft.
Qin Wei was wiping with his upper body naked. Seeing Ye Xun's eyes fixed on him for a long time without moving, he thought Ye Xun wanted to give it a try, so he generously took his hand and placed it on his abdominal muscles.
"If you want to touch me in the future, just do it yourself. Don't be shy." After saying that, she deliberately tightened her abdomen to make it easier for Ye Xun to feel it.
I wasn't shy at all, I was just a little jealous, so I couldn't help but pinch her hard with my hands.
"Hiss" Qin Wei took a breath in pain and his tense muscles relaxed.
"Xiaoyu told me that she wanted to work on the plantation because she felt a bit bored at home. Do you think I should let her go?"
Ye Xun's protection of Wang Yu is sometimes like a hen protecting her chicks, not allowing them to get hurt at all. Qin Wei can see it, and Wang Yu can feel it too, except Ye Xun.
Living in a greenhouse all the time is not a good thing for a girl surviving in the apocalypse. Ye Xun will always be away, and Wang Yu needs to grow up on her own.
Take physical fitness for example. Nowadays, kids outside are more heat-resistant than her. She stays in the air-conditioned room every day, and it would almost cost her life if she goes out.
"You can't protect her forever. When a bird grows up, it has to leave the nest."
From a selfish perspective, Qin Wei hopes that Ye Xun will agree to let Wang Yu work on the plantation so that he can worry less.
Finally, Ye Xun took his words to heart.
The next night, Wang Yu happily went out with her bag.
The bag contained the self-defense weapons that Ye Xun had prepared the day before, and a bottle of water.
Both people in the family are out, and now Ye Xun is the only one left at home.
Finally I have time to enter the space again.
The potatoes are ripe and can be harvested. The fruits in the orchard are basically ripe as well. The watermelons in the field are big and round. Ye Xun picked one and put it on the edge of the field, and put the rest into the storage area.
The vines are turned over into the soil, and the waste is recycled as nutrients for the next wave of crops.
The fish fry in the water grew a lot bigger. Ye Xun caught two big ones, specially selecting the species with fewer bones, and made sauerkraut fish for Qin Wei when he got off work.
Four more were fished out and pickled in a bucket of salt water. Pickled foods are not easy to spoil in hot weather and are also delicious with rice.
I stockpiled a lot of ham before the end of the world, and today I can make it into a dish and send it to Wang Yu and Qin Wei.
The integrated houses in the space all come with their own kitchens when they are customized. Ye Xun entered his own house, started a fire in the kitchen, and stewed the ham according to the recipe. He also made two cold dishes, which he put into two meal boxes, a black one for Qin Wei and a pink one for Wang Yu, and then he packed his bags and went out.
Ye Xun left Bal in the space to have fun. The dog hadn't run so wildly for a long time, so today he let it play enough again and again.
On the way to the construction site, he saw some unfamiliar faces. During the time he was delivering meals to Qin Wei, Ye Xun relied on his excellent memory to remember the appearances of most of the people in the community. He was sure that these were outsiders, or at least not residents of the community.
These people looked unfriendly and were probably up to no good. Ye Xun did not dare to linger on the road and quickened his pace towards the plantation where Wang Yu was.
For fear of causing panic, Ye Xun did not tell him about this matter. He just said that the neighborhood was not peaceful recently and that he should not be left alone on the way back. Then he asked her if she remembered how to shoot.
After getting a positive answer, Ye Xun went to Qin Wei.
His intuition told him that Wang Yu might have to trouble Qin Wei today.
