Chapter 108: Rebirth through Fire
"I heard your leg condition is getting worse?"
Bai Yanxing walked into the room, put her hands in her pockets, found a chair to sit down, and asked in a friendly tone.
"Captain, you recover really quickly."
Gu Mei pursed her lips. She has always been strong-willed, but sometimes she has to admit that some people are just luckier than you, and some people just get what they want more easily.
"It's getting worse. If it can't be saved, I'll have to amputate it."
When Gu Mei said this, she looked at her injured knee with pity. She has always been decisive in doing things, but it was her own leg after all, and she couldn't just give it up.
“There’s no need to do this…”
Su Tang suddenly spoke up. She knew the plot of the book. As the heroine's right-hand man, he would naturally possess divine power.
This is also why I chose to keep the person instead of driving him away directly.
Because, as the character with the most screen time apart from the male and female protagonists, Gu Mei definitely has a lot of cheats.
"Miss Su, I know you have a kind heart, but this is my own decision. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Gu Mei then turned her gaze to the doctor. She raised her hand and untied her bandages one by one. The place that was extremely painful a few days ago was now a little numb.
The people around held their breath when they saw the wound.
I saw that the wound, which was originally normal, was surrounded by circles of red rotten flesh, and there were some small red circles circling around the wound.
"In this case, he can't be saved, right, doctor?"
Gu Mei tilted her head, already prepared for the situation.
“It’s really serious…”
The doctor took out examination gloves from his medicine box, disinfected them, and began to observe closely.
"But it's not completely hopeless. Miss Bai is an example. If the body has a strong immune system, it can fight these infections."
Doctors have seen several cases of people surviving after being bitten by zombies, but they could only last for a dozen days at most. The most severe one only lasted for half a month before being infected and turned into a zombie.
Bai Yanxing was the only one who remained firm.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the girl of destiny.
"Should I amputate this leg or see if I can survive the infection..."
"It's a choice you have to make."
The doctor had completely removed his surgical tools at this point and began to disinfect them with alcohol. In this situation at the end of the world, he had no other choice.
Surgical tools cannot be thrown away after being used once.
Use a blade to cut off the infected rotten flesh, then sprinkle medicine powder on it and re-bandage it.
This takes a lot of time because the dead flesh has produced mucus, and it is time-consuming and laborious to completely remove it.
"I…"
Gu Mei bit her lip and fell into a dilemma.
"Your condition hasn't gotten worse yet, so maybe there's a chance. I heard that when someone turns into a zombie, their eyes will mutate first. No one is that spiritual anymore."
Su Tang spoke appropriately, and all she needed to do was guide the other party.
If we rank them according to their importance in the book, we can guess with our eyes closed that Gu Mei will definitely not be infected.
She will get the same abnormal enhancement as Bai Yanxing.
Gu Mei is a person who can make choices and will not regret them, just like she resolutely left Yucheng.
She nodded.
"Please, doctor, take care of it for me. I'd like to observe it for a few days first. If it doesn't work, you can amputate the leg."
…
Bai Yanxing brought some painkillers and disinfectants, but there was actually not much she could do.
But he still used his power to let the doctor stay and take care of Gu Mei in case of emergency.
Although it is only a temporary base, the doctors will be overwhelmed because there are still many injured people here.
At night, a bonfire would be lit in the open space, and people would gather in groups of three or four to warm themselves by the charcoal fire.
There was a pot of rabbit meat cooking on the charcoal fire, with a few grilled fish stuck on the edge. These fish were caught by people in the river, and Su Tang was lucky enough to be given a few.
This was the first time she experienced the feeling of being bribed.
How to say it?
It felt weird, but if it weren't for his cheap dad, Su Tang knew that he wouldn't be able to mobilize this highly capable doctor with extensive experience in treating wound infections.
Zhao Fenglin did not stay with Gu Mei this time. She was pushed out, so at this moment, she was holding a plastic bottle in her hands, which contained brewed illegal liquor.
The taste won’t be particularly good.
However, Zhao Fenglin had been led astray by her brother a long time ago, so she knew how to drink.
Her legs were crossed, and her braids swayed slightly as she thought about it.
"Are you a couple?"
Zhao Fenglin was drunk and only then did he get bold enough to ask this question.
At this time, Su Tang was gnawing on a grilled fish. The surface of the fish was roasted to a crispy golden color and sprinkled with some salt and spices. It tasted very good.
But when he heard the other party say that, he almost choked on the fish meat.
“Cough cough cough…”
Su Tang coughed so loudly that it shook the earth, but the noise also scared Zhao Fenglin. She felt a little embarrassed and turned her head to the side. Her snow-white little face had been painted pink.
It’s like an apple that has just ripened in summer, pink and tender, with a unique charm that makes people want to take a bite.
"It's so obvious, can't you see it?"
However, Su Tang was not shy. She moved slightly closer and leaned on Bai Yanxing's shoulder, smiling brightly and not feeling ashamed of this relationship.
On the contrary, he was very contented, with satisfaction in his eyes.
"I heard them say that... I always thought you were very brave..."
Zhao Fenglin held the plastic bottle in both hands, and the plastic made a "crunching" sound beside his ears. He seemed to have hesitated for a long time before deciding to say what was in his heart.
"My dad won't let me like girls."
After she said this, there was a brief silence around them. Although Su Tang had read the original book, her mind was completely blank when it came to this plot.
It can be said that my head is full of question marks.
How could she not know that Zhao Fenglin would like girls? It’s not even mentioned in the book!
In the original book, Zhao Fenglin's presence is relatively low, and there is only one main plot, which is that the male protagonist is jealous of Zhao Tianxiang, a male vixen, and later sets up a trap to kill Zhao Tianxiang.
Although he is set as the Holy Father, he is still decisive when it comes to his own interests.
So... in order to avenge his brother, Zhao Fenglin went to war against the heroine and the hero. Of course, the result can be guessed.
This spoiled girl had little fighting power and was easily knocked out by the heroine.
It seems that I have touched upon the worldview completed by this world, or something that the author did not write in the book. After all, the author only focuses on the lives of the heroine and several other main characters.
It is impossible to write about the eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of the supporting characters.
"Do you like Gu Mei?"
This time, it is the case that those who are close to vermilion become redder, and those who are watching see things more clearly.
Bai Yanxing spoke tentatively.
Su Tang almost choked again, but fortunately there was nothing in her mouth.
