Chapter 517: The First Attrition
Because the players had been to the medical center in Pripyat before, the doctors also took the opportunity to collect a batch of medicines that might be used in the future, not only anti-radiation drugs such as potassium iodide, but also some anti-inflammatory drugs and tranquilizers, and now these drugs have finally come in handy.
About twenty minutes later, a sweaty doctor came out of the house, leaving only two women, Kuiye and Besonova, to take care of the coconut.
"How?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Not very optimistic." The doctor took a cigarette from the maintenance worker's hand and took two puffs, "Her body is deteriorating faster than I expected, and now her body temperature is about 38 to 39, hair loss, ulcers, and swelling...... But these are small things, the real problem is that the radiation is destroying her immune system, and any bacteria floating in the air after that can be fatal to her. ”
The doctor paused at this point and asked Zhang Hengdao, "Did you come into contact with any radioactive sources when you went back this time?" ”
"There was radiation everywhere at the plant, but we met someone from the Ministry of Civil Defense, who had a detector in his hand, and we followed him and tried to avoid the places with high radiation."
"Is this so, it may be that the amount of radiation accumulated in her body before has been very large, in short, she is in a bad condition now, I just managed to do some physical cooling for her, and put some ointment on her festering wound, but this is only a little better for her, from the doctor's point of view, I recommend sending her to the hospital, because considering the development of her condition, she needs a sterile ward, and if necessary, a bone marrow transplant, which will not save her life, but it will allow her to live a little longer, If we're lucky, we might be able to survive until we complete the main quest. ”
"Wait." The maintenance worker said, "We're going to take her to the hospital?" But in this case, who will be the translator and communicate with the Ukrainian woman? ”
"Given Coconut's current physical condition, we might be able to talk to her and ask her to lend us another earring and return it to her after completing the main quest." Zhang Heng said, and then he turned his head and asked the doctor, "Is she awake now, can she speak?" ”
The doctor nodded, "Her consciousness is still quite awake, but her lips have festered and her epidermis has fallen off, and it is estimated that it will be painful to speak, so if you want to talk, it is best to compress the time shorter." ”
At this time, the young man also interjected, "We...... Will it be like this in the future? ”
He also came out of the room after hearing the movement, and saw Zhang Heng and the others standing in the corridor, and said curiously.
"Yes, it's very likely, but it shouldn't have been so fast," the doctor's expression became more serious than ever, "I don't know if it's the design of the dungeon or something else, I estimated that we still have a week to act, but now it seems that I'm probably a little overly optimistic, we need to complete the main quest as soon as possible." ”
"I don't need you to say it, I wanted to get out of this place in my dreams." The maintenance worker complained.
Zhang Heng didn't say anything more, and was about to go into the house, but saw Kui Ye come out of it, not only that, but she also held an earring in her hand.
"Have you already got it? So fast! The maintenance man was surprised, "We just discussed this matter again, how did you convince the self-inflicted guy to hand over the earrings, and the thing wasn't in her stomach, how did you get it?" ”
"What are you thinking, how can it be in the stomach." The doctor said, "The coconut has been vomiting before, if the earrings have been spit out in her stomach, even if they are not spit out, they may enter the sewer with the excrement, this prop is so important to her, how can she really swallow it in one gulp, she just used a little means to show her attitude when she was in the car." ”
"You saw it but didn't tell us?" The maintenance worker was dissatisfied, but when he looked at Zhang Heng and the faces of the young man, he found that the expressions of the two had not changed, and the maintenance worker was immediately stunned, "No, am I the only one who doesn't know?" But didn't you agree to her request at that time? ”
The maintenance worker asked Zhang Heng.
"Yes, she was very emotional at the time, and I just needed a translator, it didn't matter who was, and of course there was no need to stimulate her anymore." Zhang Heng explained.
The young man on the other side also comforted the maintenance worker, "You said that it's not enough if you don't know, and the rat shouldn't have seen it, but I think he seems to like coconut a little, and it may be because hormones have dulled his brain." ”
“…………”
"Anyway, Coconut now understands that her physical condition can no longer continue to act as the team's interpreter, and she is not unreasonable, so she agreed to lend us [Whispers] first." Kui Ye said, "But there is a condition, among all the players, she only believes in mice, so she hopes that [Whisper] can be put in the hands of mice, of course, she has handed over [Whisper] now, and there is nothing we can do if we don't agree with her." ”
"I don't have any opinions." Zhang Heng said, "As I said before, I just need a translator, and it doesn't matter who is in charge." ”
"I support idols unconditionally." The young man was quick to speak, and then the doctor nodded his head.
The maintenance worker saw that everyone's eyes fell on him and muttered, "Why, do I look like a bad guy?" I just don't like how wary she is of other players, this time it's solo co-op, so at least until the main quest is completed, everyone should stick together instead of watching out for each other, right? ”
"You're right," nodded the young man, "so in order to eliminate that little unpleasantness between you, I'm going to trouble you to get her to the hospital." ”
"I'm going to send her, why?"
"Of course, because the car keys are with you, don't worry, I, Mouse and Besonova will also go with you, at least help her with admission."
At this time, the doctor also said, "You'd better go early, the Pripyat Medical Center doesn't have much experience in treating radiation sickness, it is estimated that they will gather the injured together and send them to the big hospital in Moscow, where the medical resources will be better, whether it is a professional doctor or a sterile ward or something, if it is timely enough, the coconut can catch the plane." ”
"It's a nuisance." Although the maintenance worker was talking to him, he finally compromised and went downstairs to start the car.
