After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

When Hu Chong received the notification and rushed over, there were already seven or eight people rolling on the ground screaming in pain, and some even stretched out their hands to ask people around them for help. However, there was no apparent problem with their bodies. Instead, their expressions of pain looked quite creepy, and the bystanders were a little afraid to approach them for a while.

Hu Chong ordered his men to hold down these people, block their mouths, and tie them up temporarily. After understanding the situation, he asked others to go to work first, temporarily closed the rest area, and asked those who were resting to move to another place.

After loading these people who did not know the cause of their pain onto a truck, Hu Chong led them to the medical clinic. When they arrived, the doctor removed the gag from one of the patients' mouth. This person's condition looked better, and the painful expression on his face was less severe than that of the others.

"Can you speak?" the doctor asked the patient.

The man nodded only after the doctor repeated the question, and uttered the word "yes" in some pain. The sweat that kept oozing out and the blue veins exposed under his gritted teeth were enough to make people feel the pain and difficulty of his answering this word.

The doctor asked again: "Can you tell me where you feel the pain? And how does it feel?"

The patient shook his head and replied intermittently: "I don't know, it seems like my whole body is in pain, all the nerves are pulling and hurting, it's so painful..."

The doctor ordered the patient to be stretched out on the bed and fixed. His hands felt around the patient's body and said, "If I press on your painful spot, you can say it hurts. It would be even better if you can describe to me how it hurts."

The patient gave a little response, and the doctor's hand began to grope the patient's chest. As the doctor pressed, the patient's physical condition seemed to improve a little, his facial expression didn't seem so painful, and slowly he even looked like he wanted to fall asleep.

The doctor asked him, "Do you feel anything strange there?"

The patient opened his eyes slightly. He was still in pain and very tired, but the pressure on him made him feel a little comfortable. He said with a weak breath, "It's like floating like waves... It's painful and comfortable at the same time. Don't stop..."

The doctor frowned slightly, he had never seen such a situation before, and asked people to spread out the other patients and fix them on the beds. He also instructed several medical staff to start pressing on them as well. Except for the three people who had fainted from the pain, the symptoms of the others were indeed alleviated.

Hu Chong waited for a long time. When he saw the doctor give up his seat to someone else and stand aside in deep thought, he stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, can you tell what's going on with them?"

The doctor shook his head: "I can't even find the pain point. At present, I can only relieve some of the pain by pressing. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. The drugs and equipment I have here are the most basic, mainly used to treat patients with heat stroke. In their case, we need to use precision instruments to check."

After listening to the doctor's words, Hu Chong didn't say anything else. Only the boss had such precision instruments, and ordinary people couldn't get them now.

From the time he took over the job until now, Hu Chong has been having troubles everywhere. Now that work has finally resumed, several patients with unknown causes of illness have appeared. He can only be compensated with five kilograms of miscellaneous grains for each death.

Even if he reported this kind of small matter, it would not reach his boss's desk, and it would only make him look more incompetent. Hu Chong looked at these patients and said with a hard heart, "Think of another way to treat them. If pressing can make them feel more comfortable, press them more and see what happens next."

The doctor wanted to say something, but after meeting Hu Chong's eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see what happens first."

This simple medical clinic was opened at Qiu Feng's request. To be honest, for the people above, it would be better to let these people die happily than to spend money on medicine to treat them. They could pay compensation and get a corpse in return.

So Hu Chong did not try to get further examinations for these people, and the doctor finally agreed.

When Li Ke rushed over, she saw Hu Chong arranging people to carry the patients away. She hid in the distance and observed the condition of these patients. It seemed that it was the early stage of an outbreak of the zombie virus.

Many things have changed. In her previous life, she had never heard of the miracle medicine. Li Ke didn't know when the first case of the zombie virus appeared, but it broke out two years after the apocalypse. According to her previous memory, it shouldn't have appeared so early.

Li Ke didn’t know the cause of the zombie virus. She was just an ordinary person struggling to survive. A lot of the information she had was just a pile of fragments, and her source and accuracy were unknown.

When humans are infected with the zombie virus, they will feel extremely painful in the early stages, and then slowly become numb. The brain will still have a faint consciousness, but the body will become increasingly dull and stiff, and then corpse spots and rot holes will appear.

Although his consciousness was still alive, his body was slowly dying. Even now, when Li Ke thinks back to that situation, he still feels a chill down his spine.

People infected with the zombie virus are doomed to die, and people who have come into contact with zombie virus patients have a very high chance of being infected, but they are not certain to be infected.

Li Ke once lived among a crowd of zombie virus patients for a few days. Finally, he tried his best to escape and hid in a small house for several days. Finally, he confirmed that he was not infected and started to go out again.

It's strange to think about it. At that time, although ordinary people didn't know how the zombie virus appeared, they roughly knew some ways to deal with it, such as trying not to stay outdoors and trying not to have close contact with infected people.

Later, it was reported from somewhere that sealing the infected person or the body of the infected person with lime or lime water could isolate the virus, so some people began to use lime to treat the infected people.

This behavior is a bit too cruel for these infected people, because they are still alive. The lime on their bodies will irritate their numb bodies and cause them great pain, until they die in convulsions.

But after lime water was proven to be effective, cement pits appeared in many places. Infected people who could not bear the pain could choose to commit suicide in front of the pit and then jump into the pit to kill the source of infection.

There are also some infected people who do not want to die and will hide together, struggling to survive the last part of their lives. At the same time, there are also some gangs that hunt the infected. Under the banner of eradicating the virus, when they see the infected, they will force them into lime water to commit suicide, or cut off all their ways of survival, starve them to death, and then throw them into the lime water.

Although the virus was very aggressive at first, humans quickly suppressed it once they found its weakness. Two years later, although the virus still exists, the number is extremely small and infected people have become extremely rare.

Initially, people would carry a bag of lime with them when they went out. They could sprinkle it on their resting mats to prevent infection in the wild, and they could also use it to deal with infected people they might encounter.

But as the virus became less and less common, people's vigilance gradually waned and they rarely took it to heart.

Li Ke recalled the time when she was trapped in a group of infected people in her previous life. Although she escaped later, she felt a little strange every time she thought about it.

It was the final stage of the zombie virus at that time. She was out alone looking for resources and was chased by people who suddenly appeared. Those people seemed to have planned to drive her into the living territory of the infected and then stopped chasing her.

When Li Ke saw the infected people appear, she understood why those people were guarding the periphery and no longer appeared. She could only try her best to stay away from those numb people. She tried to break through twice, but was always stopped by the people guarding outside.
