Chapter 227 Illness
We were halfway there.
Yun Zhao indeed started to feel feverish.
She slept restlessly, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, as if painted by the sunset. Her lips were chapped and peeling, and when she parted them slightly, you could hear faint gasps coming from her throat.
She seemed to be in a lot of pain.
Xie Tu pursed his lips, took her temperature, and got out of the car without saying a word, grabbing the car refrigerator from Jiang Mu's car.
There are ice packs in the refrigerator.
He stayed by her bedside, using physical methods to lower her temperature, applying ice packs to her forehead.
The people inside the car were quiet. They did not show any joy at killing the five-star gatekeeper. Instead, they were all worried about Yun Zhao's situation.
The mental strain caused weakness, coupled with insufficient rest, has now led to a high fever.
Xie Tu frowned, wrung out a towel and gently wiped the sweat from her face and neck, over and over again, trying to cool her down.
There were no fever reducers in the car.
There were no sentry posts along the way.
The sentries are physically strong and rarely fall ill due to weather changes, so the stock of medicines is not sufficient.
Xie Tu looked at the medicine box full of drugs for treating external injuries, his face extremely pale.
It will take several more days to get back.
Why didn't I think of keeping some cold and fever medicine in the first-aid kit earlier?
The team members dared not provoke them.
They were also worried about Yun Zhao's health, so they drove the car more steadily and faster.
The two armored vehicles sped along.
The second half of the journey went without incident, and they returned to base as quickly as possible.
*
Dawn Base deep in the mountains.
The snow fell heavily like goose feathers, enveloping the entire base in a silvery white blanket.
Two armored off-road vehicles rolled over the snow on the mountain road and entered the inner city through a special mission passage.
Team Zero's vehicle parked in front of the hospital in the inner city.
Xie Tu carried Renmin University students inside.
During the few days of travel, Yun Zhao actually woke up several times in a daze, sometimes when he was called to eat or drink, and sometimes when he wanted to get off the vehicle to relieve himself.
It was very cold outside, and her military overcoat came in handy again.
She felt weak and powerless all over, and her throat was dry and sore.
After a few days of rest.
She endured the high fever.
By the time he returned to the base, his high fever had subsided, and he was in much better spirits than he had been a few days earlier.
"I want to get down and walk by myself," Yun Zhao said in a hoarse voice.
She felt she didn't need to go to the hospital.
I want to go home and lie down.
Xie Tu ignored him and reassured him, "We've arrived."
When the doctors saw him carrying the precious S-class guide with a cold expression, they thought something serious had happened and hurriedly brought over an emergency stretcher and notified the hospital director and attending physician.
Once Zero Team returned, they neither went back to the operations headquarters nor to their quarters.
Instead, they went straight to the hospital.
This made the base think something had happened.
This matter even alarmed the base chief.
When the attending physician received the news, he rushed over and saw Yun Zhao lying on the hospital bed with a helpless expression, as well as a group of sentries in combat uniforms standing around him with tense expressions.
Unable to determine the cause of the illness, the doctor quickly stepped forward to conduct an examination.
They carefully inquired about their situation, took their temperatures, conducted blood tests, and then carried out a series of examinations.
The rarity of S-class guides is self-evident.
The base manager called, demanding that all efforts be made to treat him.
Chaos erupted in the hospital.
After the attending physician received the test results, he faced Yun Zhao, who looked completely innocent, and Xie Tu, who was questioning him with a cold expression.
The doctor remained silent.
I developed a fever on the way, which delayed me for a few days, but the fever subsided soon after.
The test report showed nothing seriously wrong, only a slight throat swelling caused by tonsillitis.
If I had come to the hospital any later, I would have already fully recovered...
Seeing that the doctor remained silent for a long time, Xie Tu's heart tightened. "What's wrong?"
The attending physician, meeting his gaze, waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."
How could nothing be wrong?
She had a high fever for two days on the road, and he kept a close watch on her, not daring to rest, changing the ice packs every few hours to bring down her temperature.
Afraid that she would get cold, I wrapped the ice pack in a towel and kept moving it around.
They didn't eat or rest well on the road, and they lacked medication.
But they said it was nothing?
Xie Tu looked calmly at the doctor, his eyes revealing no emotion, yet inexplicably exerting immense pressure.
The aura of an S-class Sentinel is too powerful.
The attending physician hesitated before saying, "Then...should we admit him to the hospital for observation for two days?"
Yun Zhao: "..."
Seeing her reluctant expression.
Rabbit quickly advised, "Sister Yun Zhao, why don't you stay for two days? The medical conditions in the inner city are very good. You are currently weak, and with doctors and nurses taking care of you, we can all feel more at ease."
"Yeah yeah."
Duan Xi nodded in agreement, thinking she was worried about wasting points, and said, "The guide provides free medical care, so it doesn't cost any points."
The medical facilities in the inner city are very good.
She is currently staying in a private room, which is cozy and even has a water dispenser and a refrigerator, just like being at home.
His teammates all chimed in.
Xie Tu watched her quietly. He didn't say anything, but his attitude was clear: he wouldn't let her go back like that.
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Alright."
Anyway, it's free.
She is physically fine, but the problems caused by mental overload have not been resolved and have become more severe due to frequent use of her abilities.
He definitely needs to rest and recuperate.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she had agreed.
Xie Tu glanced at his watch, then turned and poured her a glass of warm water. "I'm going out to buy some groceries. What would you like to eat?"
They returned close to evening.
If we don't go to the shopping mall soon, it will have to close.
She was sick and hadn't eaten well on the way.
We need to give her some proper nourishment.
Yun Zhao couldn't think of any recipes for a moment, so he replied, "Anything is fine."
Xie Tu nodded, instructed the rabbit to watch over her while she took her medicine, and then left, turning back every few steps.
Her teammates were all with her in the hospital room.
Yun Zhao stared at his tall, departing figure, then suddenly lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling slightly from time to time.
This man was so good to her that she was somewhat overwhelmed.
The meticulous care, like a gentle but sharp blade, is gradually cutting through the self-protective defenses in her heart.
She both enjoyed the warmth and reassurance that this care brought, and was afraid that she would become too addicted to it.
The nurse who was delivering the medicine arrived.
The rabbit ran over to greet them, listening carefully to the nurse's instructions and the dosage of each medicine.
Doctors can only treat physical problems.
Her mental issues require a professional guide; I wonder if the captain has informed Minister Bai.
After Yun Zhao finished taking his medicine, seeing that everyone was still there, he said softly, "You all go back and rest. You don't all need to stay here."
Team Zero was away for quite a while this time.
From summer to winter.
From contaminated zone 249 to contaminated zone 235.
Everyone was exhausted after going through two contaminated areas, and it was a great relief to finally get back.
Rabbit also felt that having so many people guarding the ward would disturb her rest, so she started to shoo them away, saying, "I'll stay here and wait for the captain to come back. You all go home first."
Song Liang, Duan Xi, and Tao Haohao were not strangers.
We've been teammates for so long, being too formal would only make us seem distant.
"Alright, Yun Zhao, we'll come see you again tomorrow." Tao Haohao stood up casually, picked up his backpack, and said goodbye to Yun Zhao.
Song Liang also said, "Take a good rest. Call us if you need any help."
Duan Xi: "Yun Zhao, we'll be going now."
"Okay." Yun Zhao waved goodbye to his teammates.
Soon, only she and the rabbit remained in the ward.
She slept the whole way and felt much better, but now she can't fall asleep.
I remember the document Rongping gave them before the contaminated area collapsed; it seems she eventually stuffed it into her backpack.
Yun Zhao asked the rabbit to bring him the backpack.
Since she had nothing else to do, she wanted to see what was written inside.
