Chapter 406: All Miserable
According to the time estimated by Captain Zhou, Captain Li and others had been observing the situation on the spot for two days, but the situation had not improved at all. Not only did people with fever fall down one after another all day long, but now even the uninjured people had developed fever.
This would be a big problem.
But if we insist on saying that it is the same problem, it is not that accurate, because there is a slight difference in the fever between injured and uninjured people, but the difference is not particularly obvious, so for a while, they really couldn't guess whether it was an infection problem or heat stroke.
During this period, the people above them gave them a lot of help. The doctor in their own team also developed a fever, so the people from the A City base immediately sent a doctor to treat them.
However, it basically has no effect, and it makes no difference whether it is treated or not, but this action undoubtedly calms the panicked hearts of many people.
After a few more days, with the medicine having no effect at all, the residents' condition became increasingly serious. In the end, more and more people came to help them, but there was no solution at all.
Seeing that the situation at the remaining military bases was so bad, the people above finally couldn't sit still anymore and immediately sent people to search for the official base along the way.
There were quite a lot of people in the official base. Without the towering buildings nearby to block their view, it was easy for them to spot such a team.
After driving for three consecutive days along the route that might be used by the official base, we saw a large group of people staying in the same place. The group excitedly rushed over there.
But who would have thought that when they stopped the car and approached, they were stopped outside by people from the official base with a police line.
Everyone inside the police perimeter, all wearing masks, said to them from a distance, "Don't come over here. 80% of the people here have already developed a fever. It might be contagious. Which base are you from?"
Hearing the official base say this, everyone could only stop where they were. They immediately responded, "We're from the A City base. The people above us are roughly aware of what you're facing. A few days ago, the people from the official base encountered the same situation. After realizing something was wrong, the higher-ups immediately sent us to search for you along the way."
When they heard that the military base had already arrived and had the same situation, they were immediately overjoyed and asked, "Have you found a solution?"
There was a silence.
It’s okay if they don’t hear the answer they want to know, but it would be really strange if they agreed under the circumstances.
However, there were many people with fevers at the official base. Someone from the A City base said, "When we sent them out, we brought some fever-reducing medicine. It might not be very useful, but do you need it?"
"Yes, thank you."
The captain of the A City base's team was named Ji. Captain Ji immediately instructed the people behind him, "Give them the fever-reducing medicine first."
Then he said to the people at the official base, "I'll report your situation to the superiors first. Can you tell us how many people are left so far? And what have you encountered since you set out?"
Someone at the official base said, "There were over 1.3 million people when they came out, and the tsunami swept away the twelve cars behind them."
The base's passenger vehicles were large trucks, and everyone huddled together wherever they could find a place on the truck. Such a large truck could hold about 50 people, which means that the tsunami directly swept away 600 people.
This wasn't the end of it. Two more rains of mutant creatures fell here, but these mutant creatures were completely different from the ones encountered at the military base. First, there were mutant lizards, small lizards the size of a palm. The smaller they were, the more agile they were. Moreover, the lizards were extremely aggressive and would bite anyone they caught. This was their first time encountering such a situation, so they were immediately thrown into chaos. They had no time to rescue, and over 100,000 people died at the hands of the lizards, and many others were seriously injured.
The second batch of mutant creatures are mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are about the size of an index finger. They look like big targets, but in fact, the mosquitoes are very agile and flexible. Even if they are wearing heat-insulating clothing, these guys can fly into their clothes.
The blister caused by such a mosquito bite cannot be small, and coupled with the fact that it has mutated itself, after being bitten by a mosquito, the whole body will be itchy and unbearable. The key is that the more you scratch, the more itchy it becomes, and the more it itches, the more you scratch, and then there will be a break. In addition, the weather is so hot that almost everyone's skin has different degrees of redness, swelling and ulceration, and there is no medicine. It is really miserable.
To be honest, before Captain Ji came to look for the people at the official base, he took a detour to take a look at the military base. Now, comparing the two, he found that the people at the official base were many times worse off than those at the military base.
Of course, there is no comparison here. People on both sides are miserable when encountering such things, but he just wanted to make an analogy that others can understand.
After the skin becomes red, swollen and ulcerated, it begins to fester. Once it festeres, people start to have a fever. Plus, there were so many of them, and almost all of them were bitten, so many of them had a fever.
As for the other 20%, it was because some people escaped into the cab of the vehicle, where mosquitoes could not get in and naturally did not bite them. However, there were very few such people, and those who did not have a fever were naturally caught by them and forced to do hard labor.
Since the situations on both sides were somewhat different, the people at the A City base only brought medicines for treating fever, and external medicines were also needed. Team Ji immediately contacted their superiors to quickly send special effects medicines over.
otherwise--
There are only a few million people left on the Blue Planet, and there really aren't many people left.
But, are there still more than a million people now?
…
As soon as Team Ji's news was passed back to the base, Team Li naturally knew about it. As a result, solving the fever problem became urgent.
But to put it bluntly, the human body lacks the antibodies and vaccines to fight against mutant organisms, which is why everyone's reaction is so strong. Captain Li said, "It would be great if we could develop a vaccine."
But when it comes to vaccines, the expressions of the people in the military base are not as good as before. What to say? It’s because of the last vaccine incident, which left too deep an impression on people. Otherwise, who would have such a subconscious reaction?
As for this situation, how could the people at the A City base not know about it? But some things just require vaccines, and no one can escape it.
…
The people on this side were discussing the development of a vaccine, while on the other side, the researchers at the research base directly handed the vaccine to the team members at the A City base.
Originally, the research base and other bases were separate, but the security of the research base was still managed by the military base.
