Chapter 10 Medicines
"This kind of medicine is not available in ordinary families, and it is impossible to find it in this convenience store!" "This is a prescription drug." β
"Then go to the pharmacy or hospital to find it, otherwise, he will definitely not survive the dawn!" Li Qingshui stretched out his hand to probe Liu Chang's body temperature again, "It's already a miracle to be alive now." β
"In this situation, who dares to go out if they can't see their fingers outside." The glasses said with palpitations.
"I'll go myself." When Liu Chang heard this, he reluctantly opened his eyes, "Anyway, it must be death here, and there is still a glimmer of life when you go out." Besides, it's not hard to find pharmacies and hospitals on the street now, isn't there a hospital just outside the intersection of the two intersections? If I go on my own, I won't necessarily run into any danger. β
Speaking of this, Liu Chang stood up against the wall and grinned chapped lips: "Is there a flashlight?" β
"I have." Glasses took out a flashlight from her bag and handed it to Liu Chang, "The battery is full, and it's no problem to use it for a few hours." β
"That'll do." Liu Chang spoke, and handed the backpack to the glasses, "There are food and some medicines in it, if I can't come back, these things will be given to you." β
After saying this, Liu Chang took the crowbar back into his hand, then held a flashlight in his left hand, a crowbar in his right hand, and a pistol hidden in his waist, and walked to the door with a sway.
"Wait." A familiar voice came from behind him, "I'll go with you." β
Liu Tao caught up.
"Hehe, I can't see that you still have a heroic plot?" Liu Chang didn't stop, he continued to walk forward, opened the locked door of the store, and it was dark outside.
Completely immersed himself in the darkness, Liu Chang only relied on a flashlight that could shoot more than a meter of light, groping his way forward towards the ground.
The ground is full of all kinds of plants, which have grown more than half a person tall, and the relationship between the dense fog makes Liu Chang feel like he is relying on fireflies to find treasures.
It's too dark!!
And it's quiet!!
Due to the effect of the dense fog, it is difficult for the sound to be transmitted from a distance of 100 meters, and it melts into the darkness, as cold and dark as being thrown out of the world.
"Hehe, I'm afraid, I told you to wait for me." Another "firefly" chased after him -- it was Liu Tao.
"Hehe, why are you so good to me? If you're a girl, maybe you'll fall in love with you. Liu Chang held back the feeling of dizziness and made a joke: "Study well, look good, and help me like this, it's a pity, it's a pity......"
"It's a pity, if you're a girl, you should make a promise to yourself, stop talking nonsense, save some strength to hurry!" Liu Tao said and pushed him.
The two of them returned to silence, and groped their way forward by the bright light.
The road is not far, only a little more than a kilometer between the two intersections, and they are both familiar to the two of them. In normal times, this distance is more than ten minutes on foot.
But now it's different, not only is the world dark, standing in the middle of the road, you can't see the buildings on either side, you can't tell the direction through the familiar road, the ground is still very difficult to walk, because the originally hard concrete road is broken into potholes, and the gravel is mixed with dirt and plant stems, making it difficult to walk.
Moreover, it is necessary to always be on guard against the danger that may come at any time.
It's not a quiet journey.
Fortunately, with the feeling of familiarity with the street, the two still groped their way to the door of the hospital.
Although it was not peaceful, it did not encounter danger, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
"Do you know why I'm here with you?" Walking into the gate of the hospital, Liu Tao asked Liu Chang coldly.
"Anyway, you definitely didn't come here to help me, I see that you are still sober-minded, and you shouldn't be so heroic." Liu Chang slowly walked into the gate of the hospital, and the courtyard of the hospital was also overgrown with weeds.
"Well, because I also have a wound on my body, which is also infected." Liu Tao raised his leg in the grass and used a flashlight to shine a wound on his ankle.
When the light shone on, Liu Chang saw two small circular wounds on his ankles, the wounds were not large, but they were very deep, and the wounds were infected and ulcerated, but they didn't look as terrifying as those on his body. But even so, pus and blood continued to flow out of it.
"What's going on?" Liu Chang looked up.
"Snake bite, the first time you came home, I was bitten, it wasn't a poisonous snake, it hurt at first, but then it didn't hurt anymore, and I didn't care. It wasn't until I found out that I had a fever and heard about your symptoms that I wanted to come along, because I thought we were both in the same situation. β
"That's right." Liu Chang staggered and continued to walk, "But you don't look as serious as me." β
"Well, my temperature should be less than 38 degrees now, but it's going up." Liu Tao said: "So I can't delay any longer, the more I delay, the weaker I become, and the lower the chance of survival." The sooner this kind of thing is planned, I don't want to put it off until tomorrow morning. β
After getting the exact answer, Liu Chang did not continue to speak, because he had a body temperature of more than 42 degrees, and he was already a little unable to keep his mind awake.
He felt everything around him twist and whirl, and the dizziness in his brain became more and more intense, and he could only bite the root of his tongue and keep the last trace of clarity with pain.
"Bear with me, it's almost here." Seeing Liu Chang's current situation, Liu Tao stepped forward and pulled him.
The two of them walked into the hospital tremblingly.
"The pharmacy is over there." Liu Tao pointed ahead.
"Do you think there will be monsters here, isn't the hospital the most common place to die in horror movies?" Liu Chang was still joking weakly, as if this would distract him partially.
"That's hard to say, but there are monsters who have to go, and if we don't go, we'll all die."
Dragging Liu Chang, Liu Tao opened the door of the pharmacy department, and then heard all kinds of noises.
When the lights went on, there were no monsters here, only people in one placeβpeople lying on the ground, people in one place.
"What's going on?" Liu Tao, who entered first, couldn't help but exclaim, but no one paid attention to him.
The people on the earth looked weak.
"In this broken world, you don't think that only the two of us are infected with wounds, and if the microbes are also mutated, then there will be no few people with other diseases." Liu Chang exhaled the last sentence in the alveoli with all his might, "Don't worry about other people's affairs, it's the right thing to find antibiotics and strong antipyretics." β
After Liu Chang said this, he found a place at the foot of the wall where there was no one and leaned there.
And Liu Tao hurriedly selected the medicine he needed among the large piles of medicines, ate one by himself, and fed Liu Chang another.
"I don't know if I'll be able to make it until tomorrow." After taking the medicine and sprinkling iodine on the wound, Liu Changqiang held on to his spirit and did not close his eyes - he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would never be able to open them again.
"I guess I can." Looking at Liu Chang's current state, Liu Tao said something unconfident.
"Thank you." The black pupils moved to Liu Tao's face, Liu Chang grinned, and then, his lips, which were chapped because of fever, instantly burst out with a trace of blood.
"No thanks, I'm not here for you, I just happened to help you." Liu Tao also found a clean place next to Liu Chang and sat down.
"Why do you think other creatures have mutated, but humans have not? If this red mist is some kind of catalyst, then it stands to reason that some groups of human beings should also have mutations! Liu Chang curled his legs in front of his chest and looked down at the disgusting wound on his ankle again.
"Didn't you talk about it in biology class? The more complex the creature, the more difficult it is to produce mutations. If this reasoning is followed, it is not surprising that human beings, as the most complex creatures on earth, were the last to have a mutation. β
"Is that so? Hehe......" grinned again, Liu Chang finally couldn't hold back the dizziness in the sky, even if he used all his strength, he could no longer hold the weight of his eyelids, and finally closed his eyes.
