Chapter 20: The Virus Is Raging
Zheng Hai, who went to get the jelly body, has not come back for a long time, so it is estimated that the process of obtaining the jelly body is more troublesome. Lin Yue was not in a hurry, and followed these thirteen people to talk about their collective affairs.
After some exchanges, Lin Yue quickly figured out the situation of Meng Wen and the group to which they belonged, and their collective was three kilometers southwest of Yuandong, and there were more than sixty people in total. At first, they were able to survive by hunting and gathering together, but in recent days there has been less and less prey, and the danger of hunting has increased, so their food has become less and less, until now the disease has broken out, and their whole collective is on the verge of collapse.
After understanding the situation, Lin Yue also felt that this kind of thing was inevitable, after all, so many humans suddenly appeared, frantically hunting, of course, there would be fewer and fewer prey, and at this time, it happened that the New Territories alien virus broke out, and it was normal for the collective collapse to collapse. And this situation is definitely not only Meng Wen and their collective, most people in the world will basically face this problem now, but Meng Wen and they happened earlier.
Soon after, Zheng Hai came back with thirteen jelly bodies, Lin Yue gave each of them one to swallow, and then asked them: "Now I want to ask for your respective opinions, I don't want to force you, you have swallowed jelly bodies, and the disease should be able to recover soon, you can choose for yourself, do you want to return to your collective or join us?" ”
These thirteen people were moved when they heard this, they didn't expect Lin Yue to help them so without asking for anything in return, and he was willing to let them go back.
"I don't want to go back!" A boy said, "I've been kicked out, and if I go back now, there will inevitably be a gap, so if I don't go back." ”
"Okay, just stay here, you're welcome in Yuandong!" Lin Yue stretched out his right hand and smiled.
The boy hurriedly held Lin Yue's hand and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Most of the others also expressed their willingness to stay, including Meng Wen, and only one girl said she wanted to go back.
"I'm really sorry, my sister is still there, I was kicked out because I had no choice, now that my illness can be controlled, I want to go back to live with my sister, but I'm not sure if I can stay there, if I bring my sister here to run away, I hope you can continue to take us in!"
"Of course!" Lin Yue grinned and said, "You are always welcome in Yuandong!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yue immediately arranged a place for the twelve new partners to rest, and then asked Zheng Hai to communicate with them and introduce them to the situation in Yuandong.
Soon night came, the people in the restaurant had already prepared dinner, and just as everyone was eating, the patrolling people hurriedly ran over and reported to Lin Yue: "Commander, someone is coming outside again!" ”
For Lin Yue's title, the people in the Yuan Cave are very different, those who are closer to Lin Yue will call his name directly, while the others call him the commander more intensively. After all, I am not very familiar with Lin Yue, and calling him by his name will feel very disrespectful, and calling him the leader feels extremely awkward, so gradually most people choose to call him commander, commander of the army, which is also a title. Lin Yue didn't have much of an opinion on this title, as they called it.
"Someone coming again?" Lin Yue was puzzled and said, "How many people are also sick?" ”
The patrolman nodded and said, "There are seven or eight, and it does seem like they are sick." ”
"Could it be that our collective people are sick and kicked out again?" At this time, Meng Wen was beside Lin Yue.
Lin Yue was not sure, so he immediately ran out with the patrol, looked out through the fence, and found that there were indeed eight people leaning on the outside of the fence, and their bodies were in a trance, which should also be the outbreak of the New Territories strange sense virus.
Meng Wen also followed, glanced outside, and said, "It's not our collective. ”
instructed Liao Huan to get some fresh jelly bodies again, and then Lin Yue invited these people in, and after a few exchanges, Lin Yue figured out the situation. I learned that these people were also driven out by the people in their own collective, and then wandered around, originally they just wanted to come to Yuandong to order food, but they didn't expect the people in Yuandong to accept them and treat their diseases.
The group to which these eight people belonged was six kilometers away, and when they were driven out, they just wanted to return to the position they had originally crossed, holding on to that glimmer of hope that they could go back, but the result was naturally very disappointing to them, so they walked and walked to Yuandong.
Lin Yue stabilized their condition with jelly bodies, settled them, and then called an emergency meeting for the members of the meeting.
Thirteen members of the council immediately went into a wooden hut that had been built, and immediately began to discuss the matter of the New Territories Abnormal Sensing Virus. It was obvious that the situation had gotten worse and worse, and in the coming days, it would definitely get even worse, and Lin Yue could even predict that hundreds of people would be driven out of their respective collectives because of the disease and then wander around. After the completion of the fence in Wondong, it is expected that it will attract many sick people to come to ask for help, so it is now necessary to discuss a plan to deal with this situation immediately.
In fact, in his previous life, Lin Yue was also a member of the disease, but he was not driven out of the collective, because the situation was even worse, and the whole collective collapsed. He wandered around with a few acquaintances, and was finally rescued by Meng Wen. Originally, Meng Wen was also ill, but he accidentally ate the jelly body, so he recovered, and then saved Lin Yue.
In the first half a month of his previous life, Lin Yue had a messy life, so Lin Yue can't remember the specific situation at that time very clearly, so that he doesn't know much about the specific situation of human existence after the outbreak of strange feelings in the New Realm, only that many people died.
So now, with the idea of saving as many people as possible, Lin Yue discussed a countermeasure with the twelve council members.
First of all, release the news that the jelly body can treat the virus, because Lin Yue can't save everyone, and those who can't do it can only figure out how to do it themselves.
Secondly, take out the more than 200 jelly bodies that were saved before, although these jelly bodies have lost their vitality and cannot greatly improve the body's immunity, but there is still a little effect, and feeding these jelly bodies to those who are sick has a chance to save them. Of course, Lin Yue can't guarantee how high this probability is, and it can only vary depending on individual circumstances.
Finally, increase the hunt range to get more fresh jelly bodies. Although there are still some animals in the Yuan Cave, Lin Yue will definitely not slaughter them all, because at least some species must be left, after all, with the killing of 7 billion humans, most of the animals in this world will basically become extinct in a short time.
However, the method of increasing the hunting range is also a palliative rather than a cure, because the number of animals in this world is fixed, and the more animals Lin hunts, the fewer animals others can kill, which is a dead knot. But there is no way, Lin Yue's principle is to save people who can do it, at least if he comes to hunt animals to rescue, the number of people who are rescued will be relatively more, and at the same time, Lin Yue can also win people's hearts.
After the countermeasures were decided, Lin Yue informed him to temporarily stop some unurgent work, and free up more manpower to assist the hunting team in hunting, and twenty soldiers in addition to daily training, they also set aside time to hunt, more than one hundred people, a total of sixty or seventy people can go hunting.
When Lin Yue allocated manpower, he emphatically instructed not to divide into too many groups, and to focus on safety when hunting. After successfully hunting the prey, if the prey is not dead, try to keep it alive to ensure that the jelly body can maintain its freshness for a longer time.
It is impossible to go hunting immediately after the notice, after all, it is already dark, and it will not be hunting until at least tomorrow. After dinner, everyone went to go about their own business, while Lin Yue pulled the army for evening training, after all, the time was urgent, and Lin Yue had to bring this army up as soon as possible.
The next day, the hunters went out early, and Lin Yue instructed Zheng Hai to settle down if any sick people came to take refuge, and wait for the hunting team to come back.
This time, Lin Yue personally led the team to hunt and hunted as many prey as possible. Among them, Lin Yue will prefer to hunt those animals that contain more jelly bodies.
At the end of the day, more than twice the number of prey hunted, and more than fifty jelly carcasses were able to be extracted, but this was far from enough. Because on this day, the New Territories Strange Sense Virus completely broke out, a large number of collective collapses, and people fell into a situation of wandering, just in the area of Yuandong, more than 100 people have come to take refuge, but more than 30 of them are not sick, they are following their friends and never abandoning.
It is impossible to save everyone with more than 50 fresh jelly bodies, and the jelly bodies cannot be broken into two pieces for distribution, so they lose their vitality and cannot achieve the effect of improving immunity.
Therefore, Lin Yue could only adopt a mix and match method, taking out seventy or eighty of the more than two hundred jelly bodies that had lost their vitality from before and mixing them with these thirty or so fresh jelly bodies, and then randomly distributing them to each sick person. Lin Yue could only tell them that this jelly body only had a chance to cure their disease, and it was not 100% effective.
If the jelly body is effective, the symptoms of the disease will actually be significantly reduced in less than three hours, and it will not take half a day to fully recover. So whether it works or not, in fact, can already be seen at night.
Of the total one hundred and sixteen patients, only more than seventy people have recovered, and the rest are still in pain, Lin Yue has no choice but to give each of them a lifeless jelly body, hoping to increase their chances of survival. They are then placed in several wooden huts that have been built to give them some comfort.
