#247 - Chapter 247 There is salvation
Inside the sub-base.
In numerous makeshift sickrooms.
Those infected lay on their beds, groaning in pain, the fear of death tormenting everyone.
"Brother Li... I feel so awful... Do you think I'm going to die...?"
Xiao Cong lay weakly on his bed, speaking to Li Shenglin beside him.
He had already had diarrhea twice, expelling a lot of "foreign objects," but he was still physically weak.
Passing by other sickrooms and seeing other people groaning in discomfort as well, his mood worsened.
"Hang in there a little longer, you've already taken the medicine, it should take effect soon."
Li Shenglin couldn't come up with any words to comfort Xiao Cong, he had been talking continuously for half a day to distract Xiao Cong, and his mouth was almost smoking.
Fortunately, people from the Green Source Base finally came to distribute medicine to these patients.
Perhaps the medicine hadn't taken effect yet, Xiao Cong hadn't seen any signs of improvement.
Others nearby hadn't heard of anyone getting better either.
Everyone couldn't help but doubt whether the Green Source Base's medicine was really effective.
Just then, Xiao Cong's face changed, and he said to Li Shenglin:
"Ugh... Brother Li, quickly help me to the toilet! I feel it coming again... This time it's very strong!"
Hearing this, Li Shenglin didn't dare to delay, and quickly helped his companion towards the toilet.
Not long after they left, sounds also began to come from other sickrooms.
Outside the latrine, Li Shenglin covered his nose, even though he had been there many times, he still couldn't get used to the pungent smell that stung his eyes.
"Brother Li, Brother Li! I've expelled a lot more worms! This time they're all dead! I feel much better! That's great!"
Xiao Cong's excited voice came from behind, Li Ge had just turned his head when he saw his companion running out of the latrine with his pants not even pulled up, his buttocks swaying.
"Damn! Put your pants on quickly! Don't come over here! You haven't washed your hands! Your pants are also covered in xx! Get away!"
Li Shenglin covered his mouth and nose and quickly dodged his companion's clutches, pretending to be disgusted as he shooed him away.
"No, Brother Li, I really feel much better! Now I really want to eat something!"
Xiao Cong wasn't disappointed by Li Ge's disgust, because he knew that Li Ge had used all kinds of tricks to comfort him before, but he didn't really go over there now, but stood at the latrine to wipe his butt.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Those who don't need to go, please make way, we're feeling it too!"
Before Li Shenglin could continue talking to Xiao Cong, a lot of people rushed in from the toilet entrance behind him to go to the latrine to relieve themselves.
!!!
The two of them looked at each other, and both saw realization in each other's eyes.
The medicine was really working!
*****
In more buildings outside the main and sub-bases of the Green Source Base.
These places are inhabited by a large number of survivors.
Most of them came to rely on Green Source after seeing the leaflets, but due to their professions and various other reasons, they have not yet become ranked personnel.
Usually, everyone also looks for some materials needed by the Green Source Base in the surrounding area to exchange for food.
Since the siege of 100,000 zombies last time, the density of zombies around here has thinned out a lot, which has greatly improved the safety of the survivors.
Everyone felt that they had not come to the wrong place, not only could they use their useless materials to exchange for food with Green Source, but they could also have a relatively safe environment. (The zombie tide killed some people, but more survivors came later)
Naturally, in their spare time, everyone would also search around for something edible.
As a result, this wave of parasitic infections has infected many people.
Among them, a private house about eight kilometers away from the Green Source Base.
In a room on the second floor, a survivor was anxiously busy around two people lying on the bed.
"A Zheng, Jiafu! You two must be okay! You are the only two relatives I have left in this world!"
A middle-aged woman sobbed and whimpered beside her.
Her husband and children were infected by this sudden disease.
They were originally a small family in Longmen County, and they were lucky not to be mutated in the apocalypse. They relied on a relatively safe home and the food stored in the house to survive until February.
After running out of food half a month ago, they finally couldn't hold on any longer and took out the Green Source Base leaflet they had picked up earlier and came over.
They thought that after coming here, they could live a relatively safe life without starving to death, but they had only been happy for a few days before her husband and children fell ill.
She couldn't understand why, even though she had tried her best to give food to her relatives these days, they were the ones who fell ill in the end.
......Xiulan, don't cry, if we don't make it through this time, you should go and rely on other people... Try to live on..."
A middle-aged man lying on the bed was flushed, running a high fever, and said weakly to the woman.
He was a little delirious, feeling that his body was about to collapse, so while he could still speak, he told his wife some heartfelt words and funeral arrangements.
It's just a pity for the daughter beside him.
He looked up at the girl lying on another bed beside him, her face was also flushed and pale.
She's only 14 years old!
The age of flowers, her life should have just begun.
It's a pity the world has changed.
Perhaps sensing her father's gaze, the girl weakly opened her eyes, met her father's eyes, and tried to squeeze out a difficult smile on her young face and said:
"Dad, don't be so pessimistic, we'll be fine... Maybe someone will come to save me soon, right?"
Listening to her daughter's words, Lin Qizheng and Li Xiulan felt even more uncomfortable.
Jiafu has been extremely sensible since she was a child, and her studies and morals are among the best in the school. She should have had a bright future.
But now......
"Yes, we can't be so pessimistic, we will definitely get better!"
Lin Qizheng looked at his daughter's face, forced a smile, and said along with her words.
Even if he himself didn't believe what he said, he wanted to bring a little good mood to his daughter, at least the atmosphere shouldn't be too heavy before she died.
It's been half a year since the apocalypse, how could anyone come to save them......
Even that Green Source Base, it's impossible.
People who have come here all know that the Green Source Base is not a good thing, they only accept people or things that are useful to them.
It has long been spread among the survivor circles outside.
The sub-bases there basically only select people with relatively bright careers to enter, and very few other ordinary survivors can join.
Even those three residential areas, these people who came later have no chance to enter.
It's as realistic as it can be.
The room became quiet again.
Just then.
A loud shout amplified by a loudspeaker came from outside!
"Attention everyone, we are from the Green Source Base, if anyone has recently been infected with parasites, you can come down to receive medicine!"
!!!
Listening to the sound coming from outside, the three people in the room couldn't help but widen their eyes.
It took a few seconds for their brains to digest the information inside.
Then they excitedly looked at each other!
It seems there is hope!
