Chapter 399 Side Effects
After Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo returned to the base, they immediately organized a team to clean the safe house and prepared a lot of disinfectant, pesticides, and chemical supplies.
When the team arrived at the safe house and saw the situation there, they were dumbfounded. Lu Xingtang did not urge them. After they calmed down, he divided the team into three groups!
One group was asked to clean the safe house, first by sprinkling a layer of medicine powder and then doing disinfection work. The second group moved all the supplies out of the safe house, while the other group took out body bags and put all the corpses in the safe house into them, and cleaned up the corpse water and other rotten things on the ground.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo went to repair the electricity in the safe house. The power outage was caused by rats biting through the wires in many places. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo worked together to connect all the wires.
After the power was turned on, all the air conditioners in the safe house were turned on, and soon the safe house became cooler. Lu Xingtang took away the air conditioners and other equipment that he had taken out of the space before, and they used ice cubes when they came to the safe house again.
With air conditioning, the safe house immediately became cooler and everyone became more energetic to work.
They stayed in the safe house for a whole day before they moved the supplies out of the safe house, cleaned up the corpses and animal bodies, corpse water, etc. in the safe house, and took care of the sanitation.
When they left the safe house, they locked all the rooms, including the last door. They then informed the President of the situation and asked him to send someone to inspect the safe house. Meanwhile, the people at their base inspected all the safe houses near Lancheng. Not all of them had problems; those that did were infected by viruses or insect infestations. Those infected were kept in the safe house for treatment. The Lancheng base also organized three medical teams to work together to study the virus and treat the survivors.
There weren't many safe houses that were invaded by the pest, only two, including this one.
After careful questioning, Lu Xingtang discovered that the vast majority of patients infected with viral diseases got their toxins from corpses, such as animal and human corpses.
Alkaloids contained in decaying plants, animals and human remains, including uric acid and various toxic secretions, hormones, excretions and persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are prevalent in the blood and body tissues. Coupled with high temperatures, people's body resistance decreases, and everyone is not as strong as before, so they are easily infected with corpse toxins.
However, the situation of corpse poison is not serious, and the number of infected people has been controlled. The medical team also took precautions when treating the corpse poison. The patients infected with corpse poison actively received treatment and currently have fainted, had acne all over their body, and had high fever.
In addition to corpse poison, there is another virus, which is caused by the death of poisoned rats. After the poisoned rats died and rotted, the survivors were infected with the virus through breathing. The poisoned rats are not only poisonous, but also have a variety of bacteria in their bodies. Bacterial viruses are not so easy to cure, but they have been injected with rabies virus vaccine and tetanus vaccine, and taken antibiotics such as amoxicillin capsules and cefixime granules. Patients with less serious conditions have shown signs of improvement, and patients with slightly more serious conditions are receiving treatment.
This time, most of the doctors in their Lancheng base were sent here to treat these poor survivors, and there was only a doctor on duty in the base.
Lu Xingtang also joined in, and the Lancheng base was temporarily left to Ji Yanmo alone.
Whether it was corpse poison or bacteria and viruses brought by poisoned rats, Lu Xingtang participated in both projects. He studied the bacteria and viruses brought by poisoned rats in the space hospital, while he studied the corpse poison with everyone. No matter which project it was, Lu Xingtang would share his research success and ideas, and everyone would discuss or test them together.
At this time, the President also called and said, "Poisonous rats and other insects have appeared in various areas of the south, but not in the north yet. The viruses that have appeared are basically corpse poison and bacterial viruses. I have mobilized doctors from all over the country, and everyone is ready to rush to the south. We can't take care of the Lancheng base at the moment, but perhaps the major medical teams will gather together or hold a live meeting to research vaccines or medicines. When that happens, I hope the Lancheng base will provide basic cooperation!"
Lu Xingtang said: "Don't worry, if the virus disappears sooner, it will only benefit us and not harm us!"
Because of the arrival of extreme heat, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and now it has reached 63 degrees. Lu Xingtang has specially opened an isolation residence in the base to isolate all patients infected with corpse poison and bacterial viruses. At the same time, medical supplies and other supplies are transferred to the residence to ensure about one month's supplies!
After all the arrangements were made, all the patients were transferred to the residence. This made it more convenient for doctors and patients to treat and rest, and most importantly, the doctors no longer had to run back and forth.
After Lu Xingtang and his colleagues moved into the isolation residence, the doctors finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the air conditioners in the isolation residence had ice, so at least it was not so hard and they could focus their time on treating patients.
Ji Yanmo didn't want Lu Xingtang to suffer so much, so he suggested: "Give them a special medicine and add my blood to it, so that everyone can recover quickly!"
Lu Xingtang shook his head. "Your secret cannot be exposed at this time. If the President knew, he would definitely take you away and slice you up for research. After all, there are many people in the South infected with viruses and bacteria. If there is a hope like you, he really won't let you go! At least he won't let you go until you bleed a lot!"
Ji Yanmo immediately gave up the idea: "It's my fault. Country H is not short of supplies now. It's just a matter of time. They will soon develop medicine for corpse poison and drugs for rat poison bacteria and viruses." He paused and said: "You must take good care of yourself and don't get infected with the virus and make me worry!"
Lu Xingtang said, "Don't worry, your blood is flowing in my body, nothing will happen to me!" Ji Yanmo sighed helplessly and let Lu Xingtang follow the medical team to study medicine.
The extreme heat and polar day are still continuing. Lu Xingtang and his team are conducting research day and night, and even video-calling medical teams in other regions to study the condition and explore treatment methods together.
After everyone's efforts, they developed the medicine on the 8th day of the polar day and extreme heat outbreak. After confirming that there was no problem, they put it into use immediately. After the patients took the medicine, their condition did improve, but no one dared to take it lightly, fearing that there would be side effects later!
The more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen. No matter it is corpse poison or bacteria or virus, side effects have indeed appeared one after another. Patients with corpse poison began to vomit blood, and the vomited blood was all black blood. It was not a one-time vomiting, but vomiting from time to time. In severe cases, patients may vomit seven or eight times a day, and patients with better conditions may vomit two or three times!
