Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 178 Hiding on the spot
The battle was over, but Jedi did not appear. Only a shrill voice came from the warehouse: "Medic, medic——"

Ou Yang couldn't help but be stunned. Who was injured?

In the warehouse, Jedi leaned against a Coke box, his left leg, which was shot, was twisted strangely and blood was all over the floor.

A few steps away, an American sergeant was shot in the abdomen and his face was as pale as paper.

A little further away, there was a bald old Mi who was shot in the right chest and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

The bearded man knelt beside the bald man, covering his bleeding wound tightly: "Medic—"

"Is there any medical soldier? Is there any medical soldier?" Jiang Yuwei's voice suddenly came from behind Ou Yang, very anxious.

An old American pointed to the American soldier in the corner and said, "That's him."

The man was motionless and had already died.

Jiang Yuwei suddenly grabbed Ou Yang and said, "Hurry up and save him!"

Ou Yang's eyes twitched. He knew he should save people, but how?

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed to Jedi's side and tied a tourniquet around his thigh.

Judging from the severity alone, Jedi was the least injured among the three.

However, battlefield first aid does not focus on whether the injury is light or serious, but on which one has the greatest chance of being rescued.

Although a broken leg is a serious injury, as long as it is treated in time, the possibility of endangering life is extremely small.

The other two were different. The sergeant's abdominal wound kept bleeding, and it was unknown where the bullet had hit.

Blood foamed out of Bald Lao Mi's wound, obviously his lung had been pierced.

With such injuries, even if the person is sent to the hospital immediately, he or she may not be able to be saved.

As Ouyang applied the tourniquet, Jiang Yuwei knelt beside the sergeant and yelled at Ouyang, "Record the time!"

Ou Yang was stunned until someone reminded him that it was to record the time of applying the tourniquet.

Jiang Yuwei ripped open the sergeant's shirt, revealing the wound on his right lower abdomen. She reached under the wounded man and said, "Come and help!"

Immediately, two American soldiers rushed forward and turned the wounded man over.

Jiang Yuwei saw a fist-sized wound on the wounded man's back and immediately said, "It's a penetrating wound, no bone was injured, the liver is fine, and the bleeding is not heavy, so it probably didn't hit any major blood vessels!"

Everyone immediately looked at him with admiration. One American soldier asked in surprise, "Are you a doctor?"

"No." Jiang Yuwei shook her head. "Medical student."

Ou Yang suddenly understood.

For various reasons, he never asked Jiang Yuwei what she was studying, and only now did he know that she was a medical student.

The American soldiers seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Please save him, please!"

"I'm just a sophomore and have never been exposed to surgery. Anything rash will only hasten his death."

"So what can we do for him?"

"Stop the bleeding," Jiang Yuwei said, "and leave it to fate."

Judging from the location of the injury, there is a very high possibility that the bullet broke the intestinal wall or even interrupted the intestinal tract!

Intestinal contents contain a large number of bacteria and digestive juices, which can quickly cause a serious abdominal infection if they leak into the abdominal cavity. Bacteria multiply in the abdominal cavity, releasing toxins and causing peritonitis.

If not treated promptly, it may cause sepsis, multiple organ failure, etc., which may eventually be life-threatening.

Jiang Yuwei was just doing her best and leaving the rest to fate, trying her best to save the situation.

Someone immediately brought a medical kit over, and she immediately took out the hemostatic gel to cover the wound and gave the injured person an injection of antibiotics.

The bleeding stopped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ou Yang suddenly remembered Lei Yong’s teachings: first aid on the battlefield, stopping the bleeding is the first priority.

When conditions are unavailable and bleeding must be stopped, a hot knife or other metal product can be used to burn the wound to stop the bleeding.

Another method is to pour the gunpowder in the bullet onto the wound and ignite the gunpowder to stop the bleeding.

However, both methods can cause secondary damage and should only be used in extreme cases.

After treating the sergeant's wound, Jiang Yuwei immediately turned her gaze to Bald Lao Mi.

The bearded man quickly stepped aside: "Please save him!"

Jiang Yuwei came to Bald Lao Mi with a medical kit and said, "I will do my best!"

She immediately checked Baldy Lao Mi's condition and found only a single wound on his chest. Her expression immediately changed: "There's an entry point but no exit. The bullet is lodged in his body, piercing his right lung... Someone, help me hold him down!"

Ou Yang was the first to rush forward and together with others held down the wounded man's limbs.

Jiang Yuwei put on medical gloves, injected the bald man with an anesthetic, and without saying a word, inserted her fingers into the wound, searching for the bullet by touch.

Bald Lao Mi was seriously injured. With Jiang Yuwei's level and existing medical conditions, it was impossible to save him.

But the person is still alive, and she can't just watch him die. She can only do her best to extend the survival time of the wounded within her ability.

The anesthetic had not yet taken effect, and the fingers kept groping in the wound, causing the severe pain to make the victim's whole body twitch.

Jiang Yuwei was so anxious that she was sweating all over: "Okay, okay, it's okay!"

The wound was full of blood, sticky and greasy, and through the gloves, I couldn't find where the bullet was.

Finally, her fingertips touched a hard object, and she cried out in surprise: "I touched it, I touched it——"

Just as she was about to take out the bullet, Ou Yang grabbed her arm and shook his head gently.

Jiang Yuwei then realized that the injured person had his eyes wide open and was motionless, and had stopped breathing.

She sat down on the ground, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

The bearded man burst into tears: "No, oh no——"

Jiang Yuwei threw herself into Ou Yang's arms, her blood-stained hands tightly clutching his clothes. She didn't cry, but her body was shaking violently.

Ou Yang was at a loss.

He was ruthless when dealing with his enemies, but when his companions who were still alive not long ago died in front of him, he inevitably felt very touched.

Life is so fragile.

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from the corner: "Baifeng Town calling the command center, Baifeng Town calling the command center, there are injured people here who need to be transported urgently, please send a helicopter immediately... What? No helicopter? Hello, hello, hello——"

The call was interrupted, and the signalman looked up with a confused look on his face: "Have we been abandoned?"

boom--

The sound of a gunshot startled everyone. Even Jiang Yuwei, whose eyes were red and swollen, raised her head.

Turning around, I saw a bloody hole on Jedi's forehead, his hand holding the gun hanging limply, and his body still leaning against the Coke box.

The bright red blood flowed down, staining half of his cheek red.

Is this the American army? Ou Yang felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and there were several new graves in the open space outside the town.

The eleven survivors stood quietly in front of the grave. The bearded man asked softly, "Yang, what are your plans?"

Ou Yang looked up at the clouds in the sky. "I don't have any plans. I can't leave for now. Let's find a place to hide for a while... How about you?"

The bearded man was silent for a moment. "I plan to go back to Grizzly Bear to see if there's a safe zone controlled by the Seventh Bear Battalion."

Ou Yang wanted to say that without the supplies provided by Baifeng Town, the safe zone wouldn't last much longer, but he swallowed the words back: "Have a safe trip."

"Thank you." The two right hands were tightly clasped together, and they said goodbye to each other after saying take care.

Like Big Beard, most of the immune patients who had emerged from the epidemic area chose to return to the area, while the surviving American soldiers mostly chose to stay in Baifeng Town.

Ou Yang felt that staying was not a good option, so he called Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei, and picked and chose in the camping area. He chose a Type B RV that was nearly eight meters long, loaded it with supplies, and left Baifeng Town.

After driving for a distance, we turned off the road and drove into the jungle along a small road. We stopped and started along the way and finally parked the car in an open space halfway up the mountain.

This is a gentle slope, backed by a huge rock, surrounded by tall trees, and there is a stream more than a hundred meters away, which can provide sufficient water.

The principles of camping in the mountains are: first, do not camp on the top of the mountain, as the environment is harsh and there are safety hazards; second, do not camp at the foot of the mountain, as you may encounter mountain torrents, landslides, and mudslides.

The environment of the RV campsite is naturally the best, but it is also the easiest to be discovered, so forget it.

The three of them worked together, first covering the RV with a camouflage net, then getting some branches and leaves to cover the net, carefully hiding the RV.

Ou Yang didn't want to be discovered by ordinary people, nor did he want to encounter the infected. Since he was going to hide here for a while, he had to make some preparations.

After completion, the RV has merged with the surrounding environment. As long as you keep a little distance, no matter from which direction you look, you can't tell that there is a car hidden here.

But if you get closer, you can still see some clues.

There's no way around it. None of the three are professionals, and it's already an extraordinary performance for them to reach this level.

In addition, the camouflage on the roof must be movable, usually open and covered when necessary.

There is no other way. There are solar panels on the roof of the car. If we don’t want to have a power outage, we have to let the roof get more sun exposure.

With enough food and water, the three of them could hide here for a while, but Ou Yang felt that it was not enough, and it was very insufficient.

"I think we need to set up a circle of traps all around," Ou Yang said. "It can protect us from both strangers and wild animals!"

"I have no opinion."

"I do not have either."

It sounds simple, but setting a trap is not something that can be done easily. It requires a lot of time and energy. Ou Yang thought about it again and felt that the trap could be set for the time being.

He remembered reading somewhere that things can be divided into four categories: urgent and important, urgent but not important, important but not urgent, and neither important nor urgent.

Setting traps is obviously important but not urgent.

So what is urgent and important?

The next day.

Ou Yang returned to Baifeng Town and brought a smaller RV, which was also full of supplies, but hidden in another secluded location.

"Camp No. 1 is permanent, and Camp No. 2 is backup!" said Ou Yang.

Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei both thought that the so-called hiding for a period of time should mean hiding quietly in the mountains and being completely isolated from the outside world.

But Ou Yang didn't think so. On the third day, he returned to Baifeng Town again and got another pickup truck to transport goods. Like a hardworking little bee, he worked tirelessly to transport supplies and collect all kinds of useful things.

Food and drink are just the basics. Generators, air pumps, gasoline, stoves... as long as he thinks they can be used, he can move them back.

Shocked, Zhu Yiming finally saw Ou Yang's true face: "Squidward Talon? My apologies!"

While playing, they suddenly found a military radio in the cabin of a pickup truck.

Zhu Yiming was surprised and delighted: "Where did it come from?"

"I just got it that way!" Ou Yang covered it up lightly, "No one wanted it anyway."

Zhu Yiming immediately took out the radio, put it on the ground and fiddled with it, but there was only a rustling noise coming from the radio from beginning to end.

Ou Yang squatted aside and asked: "Can you do it?"

Zhu Yiming curled his lips: "How can a man say no?"

He twisted it quickly a few times and then made some careful adjustments. Suddenly, melodious music came from the radio.

Jiang Yuwei looked over curiously, and Ou Yang was also surprised: "What the hell is this?"

Zhu Yiming chuckled: "Broadcast, what else could it be!"

Ou Yang was genuinely surprised: "Is this a radio station or a radio?"

"A full-band radio is overkill for a radio."

"I can't believe it!" Ou Yang looked at Zhu Yiming again, "You have this trick?"

"It's just a hobby." Zhu Yiming said modestly, with a smile on his face.

He continued adjusting the frequency until he suddenly received a clear signal: "Snow Bear City Safe Zone, this is a safe zone controlled by immune individuals. We have plenty of food, clean drinking water, warm rooms, doctors, and medicine. We are based on the principles of unity, mutual assistance, and equality, and welcome all immune individuals to join..."

The three of them fell silent at the same time. After a while, Ou Yang said, "I wonder how Brother Lei and the others are doing."

Zhu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "How about we go back and take a look?"

Ou Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, they are definitely not on Giant Wood Street anymore. We won't be able to find them even if we go back."

At this point, he remembered the several addresses Lei Yong gave him, and secretly wondered whether Lei Yong and others would move to other cities.

But there are so many people that there is nowhere to look for him. Moreover, the situation in the epidemic area changes slightly every day and drastically every few days. It is definitely not a good idea to go back.

The epidemic area is extremely chaotic nowadays. The more people there are, the more dangerous it is. If you go back rashly, you may not be able to come back.

"It would be great if I could get in touch with my family." Jiang Yuwei said softly.

"Who said it wasn't?" Ou Yang was dejected. "Before, there was an epidemic in Xiongzhou, and they blocked the news. Now the fungus has spread, and there's still no cell signal. Has Lao Mi been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Baifeng Town has TV and radio signals, but no mobile phone signals.

Ou Yang suddenly looked at Zhu Yiming: "Hey, what's the communication range of this radio? Can I contact my family?"

"Don't dream." Zhu Yiming patted the radio. "The theoretical communication distance is over a thousand kilometers, but in reality it's only forty or fifty kilometers."

"So much difference?"

"It depends mainly on the environment and the antenna. Large antennas have longer communication distances."

"Is that so?" Ou Yang thought for a moment, "Try to adjust it again and see if you can get in touch with people outside the epidemic area, even if it's just a broadcast."

Although he couldn't go out for the time being, he felt it was necessary to know more about the situation outside.

Zhu Yiming nodded and agreed: "I'll try!"
