Chapter 88 Chapter 88
As the focus of everyone, Qin Wei did not blush or feel nervous, and he made up a bunch of nonsense. "When Axun and I went out to look for supplies, we exchanged them for food. We kept them thinking they would come in handy in the future. Uncle Chen, when you go to dig stones, each of you should bring a handful."
Generally, the team transporting stones consists of six to seven people, and Ye Xun and Qin Wei will take turns leading the team.
Today was Qin Wei's turn, so Ye Xun stayed inside the wall and cooked for everyone.
Now that there are more people around me, I dare not add too much seasoning to the food I cook, for fear that the aroma will attract attention, so the food is relatively light.
For people living along the coast, it is quite palatable, but for people in the north and inland, it is tasteless, so they will eat with some pickled vegetables or chili sauce.
For some reason, today, the meal was ready, but no one came back.
Ye Xun paced back and forth in front of the gate, and finally at 1:30 in the afternoon, there was a knock on the iron gate.
Through the small window above, he recognized that the person outside was Qin Wei and quickly opened the door.
There was not a single spot on their clothes that was clean; they were splattered with blood, and some even had injured their arms.
Ye Xun was not very familiar with that person. If he remembered correctly, he was the director of a small base. Chen Guoan had a good relationship with him. The two had a lot of overlap in management philosophies, so they could naturally get along well.
He was injured while trying to save Chen Guoan. Due to his negligence, he was approached by a refugee, who ran straight towards him and tried to bite his neck. Fortunately, he was blocked by his arm. Otherwise, with such a horrible bite force, his trachea would have been bitten off.
The one who bit the man was killed on the spot by Qin Wei. Because they were close to him, they were covered by the splattered blood.
The people who were watching coldly nearby were afraid of the gun in his hand and did not dare to get close. After they walked away, they pounced on the corpse impatiently and bit directly at the exposed skin.
Qin Wei looked back and his stomach suddenly churned. In just a few steps, the group of people had cut open the corpse's stomach, and the intestines were all over the floor. The heart, liver and kidneys were looted. Everyone's face and hands were covered in blood, and yellow fat was everywhere.
He felt that his psychological endurance was strong enough to bear it. When others in the team wanted to turn back, he stopped them: "Don't turn back, or you will regret it."
Those who have survived to this day in the apocalypse are people who listen to advice. Qin Wei said, don't look back, just do as he says.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, bringing the smell of blood. People who smelled the smell immediately realized why Qin Wei didn't let them watch it.
Ye Xun was right, these people were devils in human skin. The only remaining sympathy they had disappeared after this incident.
Long-term eating of human flesh caused these people's teeth to mutate, becoming sharp and hard, more like beasts than humans.
The teeth marks on the wound were extremely deep, the flesh was turned inside out, and blood kept flowing out.
Qin Wei had been injured several times when he was a mercenary and had experience in treating wounds.
Bite wounds are nothing compared to gunshot and knife wounds, but they are more troublesome. These people eat human flesh and their oral hygiene is terrible. I don’t know how many bacteria are in their saliva.
The wound had to be cleaned first. Qin Wei poured a whole bottle of hydrogen peroxide on it. The pain of the flesh being corroded was almost enough to make people scream.
After repeating twice, it is considered clean.
It was inconvenient to take out the high-level medicine, so he had to crush the antibiotics and sprinkle them on the open mouth, and gave the rest to Chen Guoan.
"Clean the wound at least twice a day and take one anti-inflammatory pill each morning and evening. It's good if his wound doesn't get infected. If it does, it will be difficult to save him."
I said this, but I felt in my heart that it was a foregone conclusion. The raw meat had been in my teeth for several months without being brushed, and the millions of bacteria were enough to break through the human defense system.
After sending the injured away, the remaining people gathered around the table to eat. Everyone was absent-minded, especially Chen Guoan.
Halfway through his meal, he scooped some vegetables into his bowl, stood up and was about to leave, "I'll go see him, after all, he was injured because of me."
Ye Xun said nothing, filled an empty bowl with food, and handed it to Chen Guoan, "He didn't have dinner, bring him a bowl. How can his wound heal without eating?"
Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight those bacteria.
Chen Guoan thanked him and left in a hurry.
Despite the use of antibiotics, he still had a fever at night. When Qin Wei and Ye Xun arrived, he was already lying in bed unconscious.
Chen Guoan sat on the edge of the bed, at a loss. When he saw them coming, he stood up immediately, as if he had seen a savior.
Qin Wei cut open the bandage and found the wound was not in a good condition. In just a few hours, it had begun to ooze out and the skin it touched was very hot.
"Have you taken your temperature? What's it now?"
Chen Guoan, who had been guarding the entire time and had known this man's situation best, blurted out, "40.1."
That's really high. I wonder if you've become a fool after being burned.
In the current situation, the only way to save the situation is to take a last-ditch effort. Qin Wei took out a dagger and a bottle of alcohol and threw them into the basin.
"The only thing we can do now is to scrape the flesh from his wound clean, then use higher-level antibiotics and increase the dosage. It will be painful without anesthesia, so you and A Xun will need to hold him down."
These words were said to Chen Guoan. The infection was spreading too fast, and the only way for this person to survive was to scrape off the infected part.
There was no better way, so he could only give it a try. Chen Guoan gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Qin Wei stood up and pulled Ye Xun out, "There are some things that need to be prepared. Wait for me for a while."
Without waiting for Chen Guoan to react, the two men went out.
When they got outside, Qin Wei told Ye Xun what he couldn't say inside. "It was inconvenient to ask you inside just now. I want to know what you think about this matter. Do you want to save him? To be honest, there is little hope. If you don't want to save him, just use inferior antibiotics. What happens next depends on his luck."
Of course he needs to be saved. No matter from what perspective, he will only consume some medicine. Right now is a time when we are short of people, so a little medicine doesn't mean anything.
Ye Xun's mind raced, and he came to the above conclusion: "Let's save them. Without a laborer, our speed in building the wall will slow down a lot."
Since that's what he said, Qin Wei didn't say much. He took some hemostatic ointment and antibiotics from Ye Xun and walked back.
Just as he said, scraping the flesh was indeed a very painful process. Even if he lost consciousness due to the burns, the pain he felt in his body did not decrease at all. In order to scrape it clean, Qin Wei moved slowly and vigorously. If Ye Xun and Chen Guoan had not held him down tightly, he would have rolled on the bed.
After the scraping was completed, the bed sheet was soaked with blood, and Qin Wei's forehead was covered with sweat. He had already applied hemostatic ointment to the wound, but the process of stopping bleeding would be a bit slow. Antibiotics needed to be applied after the bleeding had stopped, otherwise the effect would be affected if they were washed away by the blood.
Before leaving, he gave him an injection of antipyretic and a shot of high-level antibiotics, and told Chen Guoan to pay more attention to the temperature changes of the injured person tonight.
"Uncle Chen, I've already given him a fever-reducing injection. Please take his temperature a few more times tonight. If he can't handle it, call a few people to take turns watching over him so as not to delay tomorrow's work."
In the hearts of Qin Wei and Ye Xun, the wall is more important than the person lying on the bed at this moment. They think Chen Guoan should understand them.
Chen Guoan could understand it, and he thought so too. He could still distinguish the importance of one life and dozens of lives.
In the following days, the work on building the wall did not stop. Instead, the pace was accelerated to make up for the lack of manpower.
