Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 811 Blood Report

Chapter 811: Chapter 811 Blood Report
After waiting for two hours to enter the base, it was already evening.
By that time, most of the healers and doctors at the Base Hospital had finished their shifts. However, given Lian Jiyue’s special circumstances, Xu Mingzhi still summoned Yao Yi and others to conduct a series of examinations on Lian Jiyue. When Yao Yi learned that it was the Heart Talk Team who had brought him back, he returned to the hospital without hesitation.
As family members, Lian Zongren and Luo Yan also expressed to Lu Hao and others their intention to stay at the hospital. Mao Qiqi initially did not want to leave, but since the examination results would not be available for a while, she had no choice but to follow Huang Yunxiang back to the villa first.
As for Guo Yang and Xue Wanyi, they took the teams of Luo Hongyi and Meng Chao first to the housing rental management center within the base. The staff there, upon realizing that it was the owner of the Heart Talk Store bringing people over, immediately arranged for the two teams to stay in the most sought-after villa district in the base without any further discussion.
“You’ve taken care of us again,”
Meng Chao said to Guo Yang.
“Not at all, you folks have come from afar to be with us. It’s only right for us to look after these arrangements. If you’re not in a hurry to return, you can spend a few days exploring around S City Base,”
Guo Yang replied with a smile.
“Sure, sure, I still have many friends here. It’s a great opportunity to visit them,”
Bai Ying said joyfully, after having stayed several months in S City Base. It felt like her second home, and she even offered to be a free tour guide for Meng Chao’s team.
Seeing that the housing management center’s staff were ready with the keys to show everyone to their places, Guo Yang and Lu Hao did not linger and bid farewell to the two teams before heading back themselves.
Su Jin only found out at the dinner table that this rescue mission had also incidentally brought back two “big clients.”
Today, the whole family was back, so Kou Ning did not come over to scrounge a meal. However, Su Jin still filled a five-tier insulated lunch box for Kou Ning, including a large bowl of pepper-spiced braised meat. Kou Ning did not refuse and accepted it with a giggle.
“Captain Lu, if Wei Family from B City Base wants to collaborate with us long-term, do we have enough supplies?”
Yin Chengtian asked while eating his fragrant rice, looking somewhat worried.
“Yes, their family also has a lot of food reserves. They do not buy everything from us, and we will also sell some on a restricted basis, especially since they have helped us out a lot this time,”
Lu Hao answered.
He however knew that they would probably not just sell some on a restricted basis.
“That eases my mind; some of us were worried about this,”
Guo Yang said.
“Don’t worry, I have enough supplies in my space for this period, and you all have worked hard this time,”
Su Jin said with a smile as she watched Guo Yang and Liao Yifan helping each other with the dishes, while Xue Wanyi was already rolling his eyes in exasperation.
It seemed that the two’s relationship had progressed nicely during the outing, just at the expense of the forever singles.
“Brother-in-law, it wasn’t tiring at all, but rather fun,”
Shi Jin commented, seemingly oblivious to Guo Yang and Liao Yifan’s interactions and simply focusing on eating big bites and chatting.
“If you really think it was good, next time I’ll take you to visit H Province Base and see them,”
Lu Hao said.
“Really, if I could see San Jin and the others again, I’d be so fulfilled!”
Yin Chengtian said excitedly, deciding right there to start looking forward to it.
Lu Hao served another drumstick to Su Jin, but seeing her reluctant, frowning face, he took the drumstick back into his own bowl and gave her beef instead.
For Yin Chengtian and the others, this trip had greatly enhanced their capabilities, so he was also thinking about taking a few people on a long trip again, but that would be a matter for later. The base had already selected a new batch of trainees, and Xue Wanyi and Liao Yifan were going to start training newcomers again.
“Let’s rest for a couple of days first, I see you’ve all lost weight from this trip.”
Lin Tianhui said.
“Absolutely, we ate noodles every day and were very active, it would be strange if we didn’t lose weight.”
Lin Xiuyuan said while gnawing on a peppered pork leg.
“You shouldn’t say that, there are so many people who want to eat noodles but can’t,”
Huang Yunxiang scolded, for the other two teams, a meal of noodles felt like a luxury, and they shouldn’t waste food just because they were not short of it.
“I know, Mom, I didn’t dare waste—I even drank all the noodle soup clean,”
In the Heart Talk Team, wasting food was a “great sin”, and he definitely didn’t want to become the target of everyone’s criticism.
Late at night, in the Base Hospital of S City, Yao Yi frowned as he looked at Lian Jiyue’s test results.
According to the imaging studies, Lian Jiyue’s physical condition seemed normal, but the blood test results puzzled him.
Currently, the Base Hospital’s blood testing equipment could only check ordinary blood routine, but several sets of data in Lian Jiyue’s blood routine were outrageously high, not only exceeding the threshold but also dozens of times higher than the maximum critical value!
“Is it a viral infection?”
Xu Mingzhi took over, couldn’t help but lean closer to look at it again and again, and even counted how many digits there were.
The high numbers would have indicated a viral infection causing symptoms like colds and fevers before the Apocalypse, but these were way too high! Such a situation had never appeared in clinical medicine.
Both of them started to suspect whether the testing equipment was broken.
“I want to draw blood again for testing, this time I’ll do it myself,”
Yao Yi said with a somewhat stern expression.
Lian Jiyue’s family members had truthfully told him what had happened before Lian Jiyue fell into a coma, and honestly, he had heard about the human experiments at bases in B City and E City. Putting aside others, even from a doctor’s perspective, those experiments violated human ethical boundaries, let alone that they were done against the subjects’ own will.
So now he felt very sympathetic towards such a Lian Jiyue, malnutrition was certain, he had already arranged for nurses to hook Lian Jiyue up to nutrient solution, but such a blood picture…
“Okay, I’ll accompany you, but now I’m worried that, with these data so high in his body, they might cause mutations?”
Xu Mingzhi warned, there was still no special equipment to test for Zombie Virus, but an infection in Lian Jiyue’s body was certain, and as the head of the Base Hospital, he had to consider the safety of others.
“I don’t know, they said he’s been like this for five days now, if he hasn’t mutated after five days, he probably won’t, but the possibility of mutation can’t be ruled out”
Thus, after discussing, they decided to check Lian Jiyue again and temporarily use external forces to stabilize his body, to prevent him from suddenly waking up and harming other people nearby.
