【Chapter 556, Night】

Xiao Lou had long heard that there was a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, but he never thought that the temperature at night would be so low, similar to the snowy days in the cold winter in the north. When they entered the final stage of the double king's secret room, they were all wearing summer clothes. In the low temperature environment of minus 20 degrees Celsius, they really might freeze to death.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou: "Can Bai Juyi's charcoal fire be used?"

Xiao Lou said helplessly: "The charcoal fire can only last for 3 hours. Moreover, my compass card is useless. I can't use it as a heater to put the charcoal fire in the tent. If it is placed on the sand in the open air, it will not keep warm."

Tang Ci thought of an idea and said, "My mecha cards may be useful."

After he said that, he summoned five combat mechas. Back in Zhou Chang's secret room in the Tomb of the Headless General, Tang Ci used these mechas to cover his teammates and withstand the high temperature of Steamer Hell. This kind of mecha is made of special metal and is naturally not afraid of charcoal fire.

Tang Ci removed the mecha's head and handed it to Xiao Lou: "Put the charcoal fire inside. It can be used as a temporary heater."

Xiao Lou happily took over the metal mecha, put charcoal fire inside to make five heaters, and distributed them to his teammates. With this heater, at least you don’t have to worry about freezing to death at night. Shao Qingge then suggested: "Didn't we receive a set of ancient costumes for each of us in the ancient secret chamber? If it gets cold at night, we can put on those layers of clothes."

Ancient costumes are made of multiple layers inside and outside. Although it is troublesome to wear, the function of keeping out the cold is indeed much better than short-sleeved shorts.

Ye Qi didn't care that his clothes were a long red dress. He was sneezing all the time from the cold. After hearing Shao Qingge's words, he quickly took out the card and transformed into a costume and put it on.

Lu Jiuchuan looked him up and down, half-smiling but not smiling: "Xiaoye's women's clothing is quite beautiful."

Ye Qi coughed lightly and said with a red face: "Saving your life is important, and your image can be ignored."

Others also put on their clothes. Yu Hanjiang said: "Everyone will keep vigil in batches tonight to prevent nocturnal animals from attacking us. Xiao Lou and I will keep vigil from now until 4 o'clock in the morning."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Then Xiao Tang and I will go from 4 to 7 o'clock."

Just as Shao Qingge was about to join, Yu Hanjiang stopped him: "The others have a good rest and will take turns tomorrow night."

The other people had no choice but to say no more and walked into their tents to prepare for sleep.

It was already early in the morning, and after 0:00, a prompt popped up in everyone's floating box at the same time - the second day of desert survival begins.

The teammates went to sleep separately, and Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat on the sand to keep watch. At hand is a drone surveillance terminal under Tang Ci's cloth, and the toilet is a makeshift stove.

The wind was not strong at night, but the temperature was getting lower and lower. Xiao Lou wrapped his cloak tightly, stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire, and said softly to Yu Hanjiang: "We have teleported three times, but Liu Qiao and Lao Mo have never been there." Response, haven’t they woken up yet?”

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "It is possible that they fell into a coma in a safe place. Otherwise, if a whole day had passed, if they had been blown to the nest of wild animals by a tornado, their bodies would have been gone by now."

The names on the contract are still there, at least they are all alive.

Xiao Lou was very worried about the situation of his four teammates. Unfortunately, there was currently no other rescue method, let alone finding someone in the vast desert. He thought for a while and said, "After an hour, I will try the team call again and say Maybe Liu Qiao and the others will wake up in the middle of the night. I don’t know what they will encounter the next day. It’s better for everyone to gather as soon as possible before dawn.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified two times, so we still have two chances."

A gust of night wind blew up, raising the surrounding sand and dust. The fire only illuminated the surrounding area of ​​more than ten meters. In the distance, it was foggy and pitch black, but the stars in the sky were particularly bright.

Xiao Lou looked up at the sky and said with a wry smile: "This is my first time in the desert."

Yu Hanjiang gently held his hand and whispered, "Me too."

The temperature was getting lower and lower, and Xiao Lou's teeth were chattering from the cold. Yu Hanjiang sat next to him, stretched out his arms and hugged him, and said softly: "It's too cold at night. If you can't stand it, go and cover it in a tent. Get some sleep under the quilt.”

Xiao Lou shook his head: "It's okay, I'll keep vigil with you."

Seeing his firm expression, Yu Hanjiang didn't say anything more and silently tightened his arms.

I don't know if it was because hugging each other could keep each other warm. Xiao Lou noticed that his body was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was surrounded by a stove. However, the stove was obviously a little far away from him. Was it the heat radiating from Yu Hanjiang's body?

Xiao Lou suddenly realized something was wrong, stretched out his hand to touch Yu Hanjiang's forehead, and said in surprise: "Are you having a fever?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly. Sometimes his body felt like it was being roasted on a fire, and sometimes it felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. His head gradually became drowsy, and he couldn't even hear Xiao Lou's voice clearly. Yu Hanjiang said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that he has a fever..."

Xiao Lou put his fingers on his wrist and touched it. His pulse was so fast that it was alarming. Yu Hanjiang's face also had an unnatural flush. How could he suddenly become ill? Xiao Lou's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking carefully about what had happened during the day.

First, they encountered a sandstorm, and he used the compass's invincible circle to protect his teammates; then he was pulled by Mr. Shao to the mirage, where they were attacked by a desert scorpion; then they were unlucky to encounter quicksand, and Yu Hanjiang wanted to save him , swallowed by the quicksand, and bitten by the rats that roamed beneath the desert.

Yes, mice!

Remember

The small wound that was healed by Shao Qingge made Xiao Lou suddenly break into a cold sweat on his back: "Did the back of your hand bleed after you were bitten by a mouse?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, the wound is very small. What? Is it a mouse problem?"

Xiao Lou's face gradually turned pale: "It's probably the plague."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

When Yu Hanjiang was bitten by a mouse, because Shao Qingge treated the wound promptly, the injury on the back of Yu Hanjiang's hand healed quickly without leaving even a trace, so Xiao Lou was not worried.

But now it seems that Xiao Lou was too careless!

How could the two kings be so kind and only let the mice add one or two small wounds to their bodies?

There are so many animals in the desert. Wild wolves, poisonous snakes, spiders, and centipedes. A random group of them would be enough to give everyone a headache. But what about mice that are small and difficult to kill?

This is like a college entrance examination math question suddenly showing a question of 3×7=? arithmetic.

Now it seems that the pit the two kings buried simply exceeded Xiao Lou's expectations.

Rats carry the plague.

In real life, plague has almost disappeared because of the popularization of vaccines and the availability of antibiotics to treat plague in hospitals everywhere. However, in history, plague was once a highly infectious disease that was notorious and caused a large number of human deaths!

Once they were infected with the plague in the desert, they had no medical means to save their teammates' lives!

Moreover, plague is very contagious.

If Yu Hanjiang spread the disease to Xiao Lou or other teammates, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Looking at Xiao Lou's pale face, Yu Hanjiang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He consciously retracted his arm, let go of Xiao Lou, walked a few steps away, and whispered: "Is it difficult to treat?"

Xiao Lou's eyes were red, and his voice could not help but tremble slightly: "We have no antibiotics, no vaccines, and there is no hospital in the desert. Mr. Shao's Bug Ace can only heal wounds, but it cannot clear the bacteria and viruses in the body..."

Yu Hanjiang stood up: "I understand."

He turned around and walked away, but Xiao Lou hurriedly called him: "Hanjiang, where are you going?"

Yu Hanjiang looked back at him: "The plague is contagious. What if I infect you?"

Xiao Lou gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Once something happens to me..."

Xiao Lou immediately interrupted him: "Don't say, 'If something happens to you, let me take everyone out.' I'm not a superman. Without you, I don't have the ability to lead everyone through the customs. Come back, I'm not afraid of infection." .”

Xiao Lou knows that as a medical worker, it is taboo to approach patients carrying pathogens.

What's more, he hasn't been vaccinated at all now.

But to him, the man in front of him was not a patient, but Yu Hanjiang, his Hanjiang.

How could he bear to let Yu Hanjiang fend for himself in the desert?

Without vaccines and antibiotics, should we just leave Yu Hanjiang alone? Then what's the point of Xiao Lou walking out alive alone?

Yu Hanjiang stood there and watched Xiao Lou walking towards him step by step.

Under the moonlight, although Xiao Lou's face was pale, his eyes were very gentle. He was holding a bottle of water and half a piece of uneaten chocolate in his hand. He walked up to Yu Hanjiang and stuffed the water and chocolate into Yu Hanjiang's hand. Inside, he said: "You need to drink water and eat something to replenish your strength. If you are really infected with the plague, you may have a high fever, swelling and pain all over your body, and if it is serious, you may also bleed."

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, gently held Yu Hanjiang's hand, and said seriously: "I will take good care of you until I find a medicine to cure you... Trust me, okay?"

Yu Hanjiang was stunned, and his mood was extremely complicated for a moment.

For the first time, someone told him - I will take good care of you.

Growing up, his parents were too busy at work, so he took care of himself. When he was in college, he received the most rigorous training in the police academy and developed the ability to handle any dilemma independently. After working, he has faced danger countless times and walks on a knife's edge every day. He is the most trusted captain by his colleagues in the police force.

But now, listening to Xiao Lou's words, he suddenly felt as if his heart was held up by a pair of gentle and cherishing hands.

He is also so cherished by others, and some people will try their best to take care of him and prevent him from suffering any harm.

This person is Xiao Lou.

Sure enough, the person he likes will never let him down every time.

Yu Hanjiang resisted the urge to hug Xiao Lou and whispered, "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you."

Xiao Lou nodded: "You go back to your tent to rest, and I'll keep watch. Since you're sick, don't be brave, lest your condition gets worse."

Yu Hanjiang had a severe headache and the high fever made his head dizzy. He had no choice but to listen to Xiao Lou and turned around and walked into the tent. Xiao Lou woke up Ninth Brother and told Ninth Brother that Yu Hanjiang might be infected with the plague.

Lu Jiuchuan cursed in a low voice: "When I saw him being bitten by a mouse, I felt something was wrong. The two kings really had no good intentions! What should we do next? Han Jiang is sick and four teammates are missing..."

Xiao Lou said calmly: "I'll try teleportation and see if I can call my teammates back."

He modified Li Qingzhao's mark to be nearby and initiated the team teleportation.

Liu Qiao and Lao Mo still didn't respond, but Long Sen and Qu Wanyue suddenly appeared in front of them.

What shocked Xiao Lou was that Long Sen was already unconscious and was forcibly transported by Qu Wanyue.

The skin all over his body was covered with purple patches formed by bleeding. Qu Wanyue's eyes were red with anxiety, and her voice was trembling slightly: "Professor Xiao, I finally see you! I don't know what happened, but Long Sen suddenly That's all……"

Xiao Lou carefully examined the bruises on Long Sen's body and said with an ugly face, "Has he been bitten by a mouse?"

Qu Wanyue quickly explained: "We encountered quicksand at that time. After we were swallowed by the sand, Long Sen's legs were bitten by rats a few times. We were washed far away by the quicksand. When I took him to climb out, we couldn't see him. Everyone."

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at the unconscious Long Sen and asked in a low voice: "Is he also infected with the plague?"

Xiao Lou said solemnly: "It's probably septic plague."

Qu Wanyue and Lu Jiuchuan obviously didn't understand this kind of professional vocabulary and looked at each other.

In order to prevent Yu Hanjiang from hearing, Xiao Lou deliberately lowered his voice and explained: "This kind of plague is also called fulminant plague. The disease develops extremely rapidly. Symptoms of sepsis, including systemic bleeding and confusion, will appear in a short period of time. The patient He usually dies within 3 days. Due to extensive bleeding of the skin, the body will turn black and purple after death..."

He took a deep breath, looked at Brother Jiu and Qu Wanyue, and said, "Have you ever heard of the Black Death that swept through Europe in the Middle Ages and killed more than 25 million people?"
