Chapter 45: Progress
Chen Yuxin felt very peaceful inside.
She sat down on the stairs and took a small bite of a piece of chocolate. Recalling what happened in the past ten days, her heart became chaotic. His body trembled slightly, and he couldn't even eat the chocolate.
She is a trainee nurse who has just come out of school. Unexpectedly, after less than three weeks of internship, disaster struck. The hospital was in a mess.
Doctors, nurses, patients...... Everyone fled in panic. There are countless cases of being knocked down by someone or falling by yourself. She had just finished her lunch break and was about to go to the ward to give injections to patients. Unexpectedly, a newly transformed zombie pounced on her.
She was terrified, and there was only one thought in her mind - escape.
She forgot to bump into a few people and fell a few times. All she knew was that she had been lucky enough to escape into the inpatient unit, hiding in a cabinet in the nurse's station.
For the next week, she endured hunger and hid in the cupboard and did not dare to come out. When she was in school, she saw this story in a magazine.
Women endure hunger more easily than men.
She regained her confidence that she would survive to the day she was rescued. The government cannot afford to give up on saving the survivors. But she was wrong. She underestimated the power of the virus. For a whole week, there was less and less movement outside. However, the rescue team did not show up for a long time.
Two more days later, she was so hungry that she was almost unconscious. Eventually, she couldn't stand the hunger, and she struggled to crawl out of the cupboard. I didn't want to, but I didn't see a zombie. She rekindled her hope of survival and struggled to find food at the nurses' station.
Fortunately, women prefer to eat snacks. She found some snacks in drawers, cabinets. Recovering a little, she took out the glucose injection and syringe from the medicine cabinet. Using the stock of glucose injection, she barely recovered her body.
However, glucose injection can provide some of the energy needed by the body, but it is not food after all. What's worse is that there is not much glucose injection left in the medicine cabinet.
In despair, she walked to the window in despair, wanting to kill herself by jumping off the building, lest she suffer the pain of starvation. At this moment, a young man about the same age as himself appeared.
She rekindled her hope of survival. She immediately emboldened herself and went down to the first floor and climbed out of the window of the ward. I didn't want her to remind this peer of her own existence just now, but she was slapped over the shoulder and fell to the ground.
When he woke up, the young man offered to give her a pack of biscuits. She gobbled it up, her heart filled with gratitude. At this time, a thought suddenly crossed her mind.
"Could he be a heavenly immortal who came down to earth to save mortals?"
It wasn't until she saw that this young man, instead of being afraid of those terrifying zombies, had changed his role, from a prey to a hunter, that she was so excited that she wanted to cry. Until she returned to the safety of the building, she still suspected that she was hallucinating due to excessive hunger.
Can ordinary people beat that kind of thing?
After thinking about it, she calmed down. Whether it's a hallucination or not, eat first and then speak. She started again, munching on her chocolate. Feeling the familiar taste in her mouth, she was about to fly with happiness.
"Eat slowly, and."
Chen Song looked at Chen Yuxin's gobbling up, and kindly handed over another piece of chocolate. When Chen Yuxin saw the chocolate handed to her, she was finally convinced that she was not hallucinating. Someone really came to save themselves. Her heart was sour, and she covered her face and cried bitterly.
No one went to comfort her. Everyone knows that this time should be the time for this scrawny girl to vent her inner pain. Only by crossing this threshold can she face life again.
After sobbing for a long time, Chen Yuxin stopped crying. She raised her head and asked expectantly, "Has the epidemic been controlled?" ”
"It's stricter."
Lu Li shook his head and truthfully said the current form. Finally, he raised his eyes and looked outside the main gate, and said calmly, "Wait for two days when there are fewer of them, and then I will send you to a safe place." ”
Chen Yuxin did not respond. She was bewildered by the harsh list of facts. She always had a hint of luck. Now that medicine is so developed, how can it be impossible to control the epidemic? Even if the technical strength of City A is slightly insufficient, there are still provinces and even the central government. With the strength of the whole country, can't we control the epidemic?
And reality shattered her illusions.
At this moment, Chrissy hurried downstairs. When she saw Chen Yuxin sitting on the stairs, she was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly instructed Lu Li.
"Come and two people to help."
Speaking of this, she glanced down at the nurse's uniform on Chen Yuxin's body. She immediately pulled it up without saying anything, and walked to the second floor without looking back.
"Forget it, you can help me."
Liu Qiang and the others were so anxious that their throats and eyes were about to burst into flames. People are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. What if you make such a mess, what if it becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back?
Chen Yuxin was also stunned. She was dragged to the pathology department on the second floor by Chrissy in a daze, and pushed by Chrissy in front of the centrifuge in a daze.
Chrissy wiped the fine sweat oozing from her forehead, and quickly ordered, "Hurry up and dispose of these samples." I'm going to use it soon. Also, do you know how to operate an automated biochemistry analyzer? If you will, leave the result to me. ”
Chen Yuxin nodded subconsciously. She has never actually operated this biochemistry analyzer. However, I also watched as an assistant during my internship.
After receiving the reply, Chrissy did not hesitate and turned to continue processing the serum isolated from Lu Li's blood. Chen Yuxin stared blankly at the foreign girl in front of her, who was about the same age as herself, and was busy, and her chaotic brain gradually calmed down. She bit her lip and began to get busy as Chrissy asked.
At the door, Lu Li and the four of them looked at the two girls who were engrossed in their busy work, smiled at each other, and quietly walked away. Back in the hall, Liu Qiang was quite emotional.
After all, women have a common language with each other.
That's a lot of work. The girl actually walked back from the brink of a nervous breakdown. Chrissy's ability is indeed not comparable to that of a few old men like herself.
At this time, Lu Li beckoned a few people to sit down. After Liu Qiang and the others sat down, he told everything he saw outside.
After hearing this, Liu Qiang frowned: "Those things blocked the road?" ”
Lu Li nodded and said in a deep voice: "Well, there are only two main roads from the hospital to the epidemic prevention and quarantine station. They are everywhere on these two roads, and it is difficult not to alarm them. Unless you open a road from a roadside shop. But in this way, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of zombies. ”
The crowd fell silent. Several people thought hard for a long time, and put forward all kinds of whimsical proposals, which were rejected by others. Lu Li couldn't find a safe way to get through the brainstorming, so he had to give up.
He stood up, picked up the mummy that was still struggling in the corner, and said to Liu Qiang: "Follow me to deal with this guy first." Wait a minute, you and I will go out and gather as much food as you can. I guess we'll have to stay here for a few days. ”
Liu Qiang nodded and followed Lu Li up to the third floor. The two found a spacious hospital room and worked together to tie the mummy firmly to the hospital bed with belts, sheets and other objects.
After repeatedly making sure that this zombie would not break free from the restraints and run to the second floor to hurt people, Lu Li and the two left the ward with peace of mind. Out of the ward, Liu Qiang, just in case, brought in a data cabinet and other things to block the door. Only then did he clap his hands and smile at Lu Li with satisfaction.
"It's a lot more reassuring that way."
……
"This dopamine is so much more?"
Chrissy looked at the analysis report handed over by Chen Yuxin, and her thin eyebrows furrowed. The last item on the report, marked as unknown, contains more than the conclusions reached at the county hospital two weeks ago.
Chen Yuxin finished the work given by Chrissy, and suddenly stretched out her hands and began to think crankily again. She was in a complicated mood, looking at Chrissy in contemplation, and smacking her tongue secretly.
"Who is she? seems to be even more powerful than Director Liu. ”
"Looks younger than me, right?"
"It's so good at such a young age. She's a good match for that man. It's all so powerful. ”
In the midst of her thoughts, she suddenly heard Chrissy ask, "Will it be extracted and purified?" ”
"Yes."
She woke up and nodded hurriedly. Chrissy smiled, picked up the serum that had just been isolated, and handed it to her, "Help me purify these serums." ”
"Okay."
Chen Yuxin responded timidly, took the test tube handed by Chriss, and skillfully began to extract and purify. Chrissy stood aside and did not get to work, but watched with interest as she extracted the serum.
"Used to do this work a lot in school?"
"No, most of them are from books."
"Wow, you're amazing. I learned it just by reading a book. I was forced by my professor to practice for a whole week. ”
"You...... Don't make fun of me. I'm not as good as you say. ”
Chen Yuxin's pale cheeks flushed with a layer of redness, and she turned her head in a panic. Chrissy had already taken an interest in her and reluctantly extended an invitation.
"Would you be interested in staying and working with me?"
"I ...... I ......"
Chen Yuxin swallowed and vomited, but did not respond for a long time. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to stay in this place. But she was too embarrassed to refuse Chrissy's kindness. For a moment, she was a little embarrassed.
It was at this time that she finished extracting the serum. As if grasping at a life-saving straw, she panicked and handed the test tube to Chrissy.
"It's been extracted."
Chrissy's attention quickly shifted to the yellow liquid in her hand, which contained about a milliliter or so. She shook the test tube and carefully sucked up a small drop of liquid and dropped it into the petri dish. She placed the petri dish in the analyzer and stared at it without blinking.
There was silence in the room. Chen Yuxin didn't dare to disturb Chriss, and stood aside blankly waiting. After a while, the analyzer came to a conclusion. Chrissy looked at the report that had just come out, and a touch of joy gradually appeared on her face.
Chen Yuxin watched from the sidelines, and was finally urged by curiosity to ask, "What is the use of these serums?" ”
Chrissy turned her head, playfully revealing her two little tiger teeth, and proudly raised the test tube in her hand.
"It's going to make history."
