Chapter 557
[, Crisis and Turnaround]
The Black Death, even though Lu Jiuchuan was not a medical student, he had heard about the tragic tragedy of the outbreak in Europe through many channels.
At that time, there was no special medicine for plague. In addition, this disease was extremely contagious. Often, one person was infected with the disease, and the entire village and the entire town would die in a short period of time. The epidemic spread rapidly in Europe, and corpses were everywhere. People who were killed by the Black Death accounted for one-third of the total population of Europe, which was like a massacre of humanity by bacteria.
The most terrifying thing about this disease is that the course of the disease progresses extremely rapidly. After the disease is infected, the patient will die within three days, and there are even cases of infection in the morning and sudden death at night...
Thinking of the last part of the Double King Secret Room requiring everyone to survive for three days, Lu Jiuchuan's face became increasingly ugly. He whispered to Xiao Lou: "If you can't find a special medicine for this disease, will Hanjiang and Long Sen be helpless?"
Xiao Lou nodded with a pale face: "Yes. They are likely to die of illness before we pass the clearance room..."
When Qu Wanyue heard this, her hands trembled suddenly. Long Sen's skin lying on the ground had already appeared, and she was not conscious. Obviously, his condition was already very serious. Qu Wanyue said with red eyes: "We don't even have enough water and food, where can we find medicine in the desert? If we have such a serious infectious disease, will we die?"
Xiao Lou thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "Maybe there is still hope. Do you remember the mirage you have seen before?"
Hearing this, Lu Jiuchuan's mind also had the illusion of the time - clear spring water, beauties dancing by the water, and many caravans riding camels...
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean, maybe there will be medicine in the oasis town that exists in the desert?"
Xiao Lou looked at Lu Jiuchuan carefully and said, "In the vast desert, only where people gather, there may be pharmacies, and perhaps antibiotics to deal with common diseases. Mr. Tang once said that mirages are illusions caused by the refraction of light. Since the Oasis Town can appear in front of us through refraction of light, it must really exist in a corner of the desert. As long as this oasis town is found, Hanjiang and Longsen will be saved."
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "It makes sense. I remember that there were many caravans riding camels. In addition to selling various spices and silk, merchants in the desert may also bring some common medicines."
Xiao Lou continued: "There must be antibiotics in it, otherwise, we will never be able to pass the secret room this time."
Qu Wanyue calmed down at this time. She took a deep breath, temporarily placed Long Sen flat next to the tent, walked to Xiao Lou and asked, "Is Team Yu infected too? How is he in the current situation?"
Xiao Lou opened the tent with a worried look and looked at it. Yu Hanjiang was already asleep, had a high fever, had an abnormal flush on his cheeks, and bruises similar to Long Sen began to appear on his neck, which was a sign of subcutaneous bleeding. Xiao Lou closed the door of the tent and whispered: "Hanjiang's condition is not as fast as Long Sen, but he has started to bleed and is not optimistic."
Qu Wanyue analyzed: "Long Sen was caught by a poisonous scorpion before. When we were swept away by quicksand, his feet had lost consciousness and his ankle was obviously red and swollen. It is likely that because he was infected with the scorpion poison and then bitten by a mouse, the condition developed so quickly?"
Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Maybe there is a reason for this. Long Sen is in septic shock now. We must find the Oasis Town as soon as possible, otherwise, with his situation... we can't live a day."
Qu Wanyue clenched her fists hard, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go find it."
Xiao Lou stopped her and looked back at Lu Jiuchuan. The latter quickly understood what Xiao Lou meant and patted Xiao Lou on the shoulder and said, "No wonder you wanted to wake me up. My Suzaku flew the fastest, so I'll go find an oasis."
At this moment, Tang Ci walked out in a coat and whispered: "I'll accompany Brother Jiu."
Lu Jiuchuan looked at him unexpectedly: "When did you wake up?"
Tang Ci said: "I woke up when you got up. I heard everything you said just now."
He walked to Xiaolou, nodded at Xiaolou, and said, "It's better to do this. If Brother Jiu and I can find the oasis smoothly, we might as well bring the medicine back first to cure the illness of Team Yu and Long Sen. It's faster than pulling you and a bunch of people over."
Lu Jiuchuan frowned slightly: "Are you worried that there might be hunters in the Oasis?"
Tang Ci's tone was confident: "The illusion I saw at that time was full of beauties dancing, caravans, and local people dressed strangely. The town looked very lively and the population should be quite large, and the hunters were definitely already mixed up. If we all act together, it would be very dangerous to take Team Yu and Long Sen, two sick teammates."
Xiao Lou thought of Long Sen who was in shock and Yu Hanjiang who was having a high fever, and also thought that Tang Ci's method was more reasonable.
It would be better to ask Brother Jiu and Tang Ci to find an oasis and find a way to get the medicine back than to teleport everyone to the oasis. Xiao Lou made a quick decision and looked at Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go as soon as possible."
Lu Jiuchuan simply rode on the Vermilion Bird, hugged Tang Ci's waist and hugged him beside him, and said, "Let's go!"
Xiao Lou summoned Qin Guan and connected with Lu Jiuchuan to communicate with him, saying, "Brother Jiu, communicate with him with sincerity."
Lu Jiuchuan nodded, reached out and touched the wings of the Vermilion Bird's neck. The fiery red bird spread its wings and circled and disappeared into the sky soon. Lu Jiuchuan's voice came to his mind: "I will leave it to you, Xiaolou."
Xiao Lou looked at the black dots that disappeared in the air and said softly in his mind: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
Qu Wanyue set up a tent next to her, and Xiao Lou helped her carry Long Sen in. The sound outside was made by Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, Gui Yuanzhang, Chu Huaying and others. Xiao Lou simply informed his teammates about the plague.
For a moment, everyone's faces looked very bad.
Ye Qi couldn't help but say, "Is this too tricky? I was bitten by a mouse and was actually infected with the plague!"
Shao Qingge rubbed his temple helplessly: "I felt something was wrong when I healed Team Yu. The wound was so small that even if I didn't need to treat it, I could handle it. If you bite a wound the size of a sesame seed, what is the meaning of those mice appearing?... It turns out that it is to spread the plague."
Chu Huaying frowned and said, "I don't know how big this desert is. What if Brother Jiu can't find the oasis?"
Everyone looked at her together.
Chu Huaying held his hands in front of his chest and said calmly: "We have to make the worst plan. If, in the worst case, Jiu Ge and Tang Ci can't find the oasis, or they find the oasis but can't find the special medicine you mentioned, then, Yu Hanjiang is unconscious of the high fever, Long Sen is in danger, Liu Qiao and Lao Mo can't find anyone, what if the remaining 6 of us encounter a sudden attack again?"
Everyone: "………………”
That's too miserable.
Gui Yuanzhang sighed lightly and whispered: "We were killed in the group of plum blossoms and J. It was a similar situation. Several teammates fell down shortly after the secret room. The remaining people had to deal with the hunters' pursuit, while taking care of the sick and injured teammates, which eventually led to the group's destruction. Huaying said the worst situation we must consider in advance to avoid being in a hurry and unable to deal with it."
Xiao Lou glanced at everyone and said word by word: "I will not give up on my sick teammates."
Chu Huaying said lightly: "How do you plan to take care of them?"
Xiao Lou said calmly: "This kind of plague will be contagious. From now on, everyone should not approach Hanjiang and Longsen. I will turn Hanjiang into a thumb-sized place with you. Teacher Qu, you will sand the Longsen with a chameleon card, place him in a hidden place you can find, let him merge with the sand, and avoid targeting him when animals or hunters attack suddenly."
Since he dared to promise to Brother Jiu that he would take good care of Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou naturally had plans in his heart.
He never talks empty words, and he has actually made the worst plans in his heart, but before that, he will do his best to protect his teammates, especially the person he cares about.
Looking at Xiao Lou's calm expression in front of him, Gui Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said, "You are indeed suitable to be the captain. Since you have already thought about how to arrange these two teammates, then do as you said."
Xiao Lou nodded and turned around and entered the tent.
Yu Hanjiang's face was flushed, and the bleeding spots on his body were increasing. His brows were tightly twisted, obviously very uncomfortable, and he was restless, and his hands were tearing the collar of his shirt.
Xiao Lou took out the copied [Thumb Girl] card, turned Yu Hanjiang into the size of a finger, put it into the drinking mineral water bottle, and then poked two very small holes in the bottle to ventilate.
Looking at Xiao Yu Hanjiang in the bottle, Xiao Lou felt extremely distressed.
He picked up the bottle and said softly: "Hanjiang, is it uncomfortable?"
Yu Hanjiang was already in a semi-coma at this time and could not hear Xiaolou's words clearly. However, the familiar voice from Xiaolou made people feel relieved. The person in the bottle gradually stopped rolling and struggled, and fell asleep quietly.
Xiao Lou whispered: "Sleep for a while, Brother Jiu will be able to get the medicine back soon."
Just then, Chu Huaying's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Everyone is on guard, there is something happening around."
Xiao Lou immediately raised his ears, but only heard a slight sound of wind around him.
Chu Huaying's hearing and smell have been strengthened and is much more sensitive than normal people. She can't hear what her teammates can't hear.
She lay on the beach and frowned and listened for a moment, then stood up and quickly retreated to the edge of the tent, with a cold and serious expression: "It's a pack of wolves, many wolves are approaching us!"
Xiaolou: "..."
Even worse, it still happened.
