Chapter 9 The First Night
It is normal for body heat to be caused by wound infection. In fact, no matter people or animals, the most people will always die from diseases. Even the carnivorous animals in the jungle will generally not attack aggressive animals unless they are extremely hungry.
Animals are their prey - even if the other person is much weaker than him.
Because I'm afraid of getting hurt.
If you are injured, the wound may be infected and death may occur.
Because they had no antibacterial drugs, large lacerations were basically equivalent to death.
This is the situation Liu Chang is facing now.
Although he had medicines, he seemed to be unable to control the mutated bacteria at all. He felt that his body was getting colder and colder, his brain was getting more and more painful, and his vision became blurred through his glasses.
Another hour passed, and the people nearby were already busy preparing food. Liu Changqiang gritted his teeth and went to the other side of the crowd, picked up a can of eight-treasure porridge on the counter, and forced himself to eat it.
He understands that no one in this world can take care of him. If he wants to live, he must eat - even if he has no appetite at all now.
After eating the eight-treasure porridge, Liu Chang continued to lean against the wall, curling up and feeling the coldness around him.
"What's wrong, buddy?" Seeing Liu Chang's curled up appearance, Fatty and the others came over.
"I said your feet are really smelly!" Liu Tao also walked over holding his nose.
"Hey, according to the general settings, not many people will get sick and die in the apocalypse!" Glasses also walked over half-jokingly, hoping to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Haha, the most people get sick and die at any time." Leaning against the wall, Liu Chang sighed.
"Do you have a fever?" After a few people got closer, they realized that Liu Chang's expression was different.
"It's okay."
"Take some antipyretic medicine." Several people took out the antipyretic medicine from their bags and fed it to Liu Chang.
Gudu!
The bitter pills were swallowed into the abdomen along with the mineral water, and Liu Chang nodded to express his gratitude.
At the moment when Liu Chang's pills entered his stomach, a miserable scream suddenly came from the direction of the convenience store toilet. The scream was truly "heartbreaking". The strong air flow broke through the throat and tore the vocal cords, and then
The system was blocked by the thick blood and turned into a "gurgling" sound.
"Mom!" Upon hearing this voice, the fat man's face changed drastically. His plump body jumped up from the ground like an agile elk, and rushed towards the convenience store toilet as quickly as possible.
Some other people, also out of curiosity, followed the fat man towards the toilet.
Liu Chang also reluctantly stood up and walked towards the inner room in the direction of the crowd.
Someone has already lit a candle there.
Then, following the direction of the light source, Liu Chang stepped into the inner corridor and smelled a strong smell of blood. Then he saw some people in front of him vomiting against the wall. They had just eaten various kinds of food.
The dinner turned into a sticky substance and filled the entire corridor with the smell of gastric juice.
Through the crowd of moving heads, Liu Chang saw a scene that also made his stomach juices surge.
A mutilated corpse.
Except for the head, no part of the body was complete. She lay there completely. A large hole the size of a bowl was dug out from the buttocks. Then this large hole penetrated her internal organs and chest, allowing the broken internal organs to pass through.
The big hole flowed all over the floor. Apart from this big hole, there were similar holes in other parts of her body, but they were not as deep as this one.
And what’s even more disgusting is that, probably because the fat man’s mother is too fat, there is a lot of yellow-orange fat flowing out of the minced meat on the ground. The yellow fat is mixed with red plasma and visceral meat.
Anyone who sees this picture will not be able to stop their stomach from twitching.
Fortunately, Liu Chang was now weak and his body's reaction was extremely slow, so he could hold back the feeling of churning gastric juice.
Turning his head away from this scene, he turned his gaze towards the fat man. He saw a grief-stricken and angry face.
He knew that any words of comfort at this time were useless.
So he took two steps back and leaned against the wall.
"Huh!" Liu Chang slowly let out a breath of hot air, his heels softened, and he knelt down on the ground.
However, no one paid attention to him at this time. Everyone was attracted by the bloodier scene. Everyone except the fat man showed a look of danger.
"What on earth attacked her?" someone in the crowd asked softly.
But he won't get the answer. Maybe only the fat man who ran in first saw the attacker, but now he won't talk to anyone.
Even so, this sentence was not completely ineffective. When someone in the crowd asked this sentence, all the twenty or so people began to pay attention to the things around them.
But the surroundings were too dark. With only the light of candlelight, people could only vaguely observe the things around them - but if this were not the case, there would have been more people vomiting just now.
People were observing the surroundings carefully, no one wanted to die tragically on the spot. Some smart people had already taken their families and left this place silently. They were afraid that the smell of blood would attract more strange things.
For a while, the scene was very tense.
It seemed that no one would notice Liu Chang curled up in the corner.
Liu Chang felt that his body temperature was getting higher and higher, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he entered a semi-coma state.
This situation lasted until late at night before anyone discovered him - it was still the biology teacher wearing glasses who discovered that he was abnormal.
He saw Liu Chang huddled at the foot of the wall and reached out to touch his forehead.
"It must be over forty degrees!" Li Qingshui exclaimed as soon as he put his hand on it.
Then he found a thermometer from nowhere and put it in Liu Chang's mouth.
Five minutes later, Li Qingshui took out the thermometer and looked at it carefully under the candlelight - the thermometer showed full scale, which was 42 degrees.
"You're not dead?" Generally speaking, thermometers rarely mark anything above 42 degrees, because when a person's body reaches 42 degrees, his heart will fail and he will die.
It is obvious that Liu Chang's current body temperature has far exceeded this number.
"How is he?" In a blur, Liu Chang heard another voice approaching him. The voice should belong to Liu Tao.
"I don't know. Logically speaking, he should be dead, but he is still fine now." Li Qingshui's voice came out again.
"Is there any help?"
"If this situation continues, he is definitely dead, because he has high body temperature caused by bacterial infection in the wound. If the bacteria are not killed, even if he does not die now, he will definitely be burned to death in a while."
"What should we do?"
