Chapter 556:

Chapter 556
Xiao Lou had long heard that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was great, but he did not expect that the night temperature would be so low that it would be similar to the heavy snowy days in the cold winter in the north. When they entered the last part of the Double King's Chamber, they were all wearing summer clothes. In a low temperature environment of minus 20 degrees, they might be frozen to death.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou, "Can Bai Juyi's charcoal fire work?"
Xiao Lou reluctantly said, "The charcoal fire can only last for 3 hours. Moreover, my compass card is no longer used. I can't use it as a heater. Put the charcoal fire in the tent. If it is placed in the open air on the sand, it will not keep warm."
Tang Ci thought of an idea, and said, "Maybe my mecha card can be used."
After he said that, he summoned five fighters. In the secret room of the "Headless General Tomb", Tang Ci used these mechas to cover his teammates and survive the heat of the steamer hell. This mech is made of special metal, so it is naturally not afraid of charcoal fire.
Tang Ci dismantled the head of the mecha and handed it to Xiao Lou, "Put the charcoal fire in it and use it as a temporary heater."
Xiao Lou happily took the metal mecha, put charcoal fire into it, made five heaters, and distributed them to his teammates. With this heater, at least there is no need to worry about freezing to death at night. Shao Qingge also suggested, "Didn't we send out a set of ancient clothes in the ancient secret room? If it is cold at night, we can put on that layer of clothes."
The costumes are all several layers inside and out. Although it is troublesome to wear, the protection against cold is indeed much better than short-sleeved shorts.
Ye Qi didn't care that his clothes were red long skirts. He was so cold that he was sneezing all the time. Hearing Shao Qingge's words, he quickly took out the card and turned into an ancient costume and put it on him.
Lu Jiuchuan looked at him up and down, with a faint smile, "Xiao Ye's women's dress is pretty pretty."
Ye Qi coughed lightly, blushing and said, "It's important to protect your life, your image can be ignored."
Others also put on clothes one after another. Yu Hanjiang said, "Everyone will be watching tonight in batches, so as not to be attacked by night-time animals. Xiaolou and I will be guarding from now until 4 in the morning."
Lu Jiuchuan said, "Then I and Xiao Tang from 4 to 7 o'clock."
Just as Shao Qingge was about to open his mouth to join, Yu Hanjiang stopped him, "The others have a good rest and will rotate tomorrow night."
The others had no choice but to stop talking, and each went into the tent to prepare to sleep.
It's early in the morning, and after 0:00, everyone's floating box pops up at the same time-the next day of survival in the desert begins.
The teammates slept separately, and Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat on the sand to watch the night. The drone surveillance terminal under Tang Cibu is on hand, and the foot is a temporary 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 hand to warm the fire, and whispered towards Yu Hanjiang, "We have teleported three times, but Liu Qiao and Lao Mo have not responded. , Don't they wake up yet?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "It is very likely that they were in a coma in a safe place. Otherwise, if they were blown to the nest of wild animals by a tornado, they would have no bones."
The names on the contract are still there, at least they are all alive.
Xiao Lou is very worried about the situation of the four teammates. Unfortunately, there is currently no other rescue method, and it is impossible to find someone in the vast desert. He thought about it, and said, "Wait for an hour, I will try the team call again, maybe Liu Qiao and the others can wake up in the middle of the night. I don’t know what else they will encounter the next day. It’s better to let everyone focus as soon as possible before dawn."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Well, Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified twice, and we still have two chances."
A night breeze blew in, raising the surrounding sand and dust. The fire light only illuminates the surrounding area of ​​more than ten meters, and the distance is foggy and pitch black, but the stars in the sky are exceptionally bright.
Xiao Lou looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly, "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 trembled from the cold. Yu Hanjiang sat next to him, stretched out his arm to embrace him, and said softly,
It’s too cold at night. If you can’t stand it, go to the tent and cover it with a quilt. Sleep for a while."
Xiao Lou shook his head, "It's okay, I'll stay vigil with you."
Seeing his firm expression, Yu Hanjiang didn't say more, and silently tightened his arm.
I don’t know if it’s because they can warm each other if they hug each other. Xiao Lou noticed that his body was getting hotter and hotter, as if he was surrounded by a stove. However, the stove was clearly a little away from him. It was the heat from Yu Hanjiang's body?
Xiao Lou suddenly noticed something was wrong, stretched out the back of his hand to probe Yu Hanjiang's forehead, and said in surprise, "Are you having a fever?"
Yu Hanjiang's brows furrowed slightly, and his body sometimes seemed to be baked on a fire, sometimes like an ice pit, his head gradually became drowsy, and he couldn't even hear Xiao Lou's voice clearly. Yu Hanjiang said dumbly, "It seems to have a fever..."
Xiao Lou put his finger on his wrist and touched it. The pulse was so fast that it was heartbreaking. Yu Hanjiang's face also had an unnatural flushing. How could he suddenly get sick? Xiao Lou's mind turned quickly, thinking carefully about what happened this day.
First encountered a sandstorm, he used the invincible circle of compasses to protect his teammates; then Mr. Shao was dragged to the front of the mirage and was attacked by a desert poisonous scorpion; then they ran into quicksand again, and Yu Hanjiang tried to save him , Was swallowed by quicksand, and let the rat that was moving under the desert bite.
Yes, mouse!
Thinking of the small wound healed by Shao Qingge at the time, Xiao Lou's back was suddenly startled with cold sweat. "After you were bitten by a mouse, did you bleed on the back of your hand?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Well, the wound is small. What? Is it the mouse's problem?"
Xiao Lou's face gradually paled, "It's probably the plague."
Yu Hanjiang "..."
When Yu Hanjiang was bitten by a mouse, because Shao Qingge handled the wound in time, the injury on the back of Yu Hanjiang's hand quickly healed without leaving a trace, so Xiao Lou was not worried.
But now it seems that Xiao Lou was too careless!
How could the twin kings be so kind that only let the mouse add one or two small wounds to them?
There are so many animals in the desert. What kind of wild wolves, snakes, spiders, centipedes, just send a group of them, it is enough to make everyone headache, but it is the small mouse that is difficult to kill people?
It's like a 3x7 in a math question in the college entrance examination? Arithmetic.
Now it seems that the pit buried by the twin kings simply exceeded Xiao Lou's expectations.
Rats will carry the plague.
In real life, the plague has almost disappeared because of the popularization of vaccines and the availability of antibiotics against the plague in hospitals everywhere. However, in history, the plague was once a horrific infectious disease that caused a lot of human deaths!
Once infected with the plague in the desert, they have no medical means to save the lives of their teammates!
Moreover, the plague is very contagious.
If Yu Hanjiang passed the illness to Xiao Lou or other teammates, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing 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 trembled slightly. "We don't have antibiotics, no vaccines, and no hospitals can be found in the desert. Mr. Shao's insect king can only heal wounds, but he can't know the bacteria and viruses in the body..."
Yu Hanjiang stood up, "I understand."
He turned and walked away, Xiao Lou hurriedly stopped him, "Han Jiang, 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,'You have an accident, let me take everyone out.' I'm not Superman. Without you, I don't have the ability to lead everyone through customs. Come back, I'm not afraid of infection. "
Xiao Lou knows that, as a medical worker, it is a taboo to approach patients who carry pathogens actively.
Besides, he is not vaccinated at all.
But for him, the man in front of him is 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, will Yu Hanjiang be left alone? What's the point of Xiaolou walking out alone?
Yu Hanjiang stood there, watching Xiao Lou walk towards him step by step.
In the moonlight, although Xiao Lou’s face was pale, his eyes were very gentle. He held a bottle of water in his hand and half a piece of unfinished chocolate. He walked up to Yu Hanjiang and stuffed water and chocolate in Yu Hanjiang’s hand. Here, "You need to drink water and eat something to replenish your strength. If you really contract the plague, you may have a high fever, swelling and pain all over, and if it is severe, you may also bleed."
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, gently held Yu Hanjiang's hand, and said seriously, "I will take care of you until I find the medicine to cure you... Trust me, okay?"
Yu Hanjiang was startled, and his mood was extremely complicated for a while.
The first time someone told him-I will take care of you.
Since childhood, his parents were too busy with work, so he took care of himself. When he was in college, he received the most severe training at the police academy, and he also developed the ability to deal with any difficulties independently. After working, he faced danger countless times and walked on the blade every day. He is the most trusted captain of the police force colleagues.
But now, listening to Xiao Lou's words, he suddenly felt that his heart seemed to be held up tenderly and cherished by both hands.
He is so cherished by others, and some people will want to do their best to take care of him and not let him suffer any harm.
This person is Xiao Lou.
The person he likes, sure enough, will not let him down every time.
Yu Hanjiang resisted the urge to hug Xiao Lou strongly, and whispered, "Okay, then I will leave it to you."
Xiao Lou nodded, "You go back to the tent and rest, and I will watch the night. Since you are sick, don't act aggressively, lest you get worse."
Yu Hanjiang had a terrible headache, and his high fever made his head dizzy. He had to listen to Xiaolou and turned and walked into the tent. Xiao Lou awakened Brother Jiu and told him that Yu Hanjiang might be infected with the plague.
Lu Jiuchuan cursed in a low voice, "I felt something was wrong when I saw him being bitten by a mouse. The twin kings were really not at ease! What should I do next? Han Jiang is sick and four teammates are missing..."
Xiao Lou calmly said, "I will try to teleport to see if I can call my teammates back."
He modified Li Qingzhao's mark to the vicinity and initiated a 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 pulled by Qu Wanyue and sent it together.
The skin of his whole body was covered with blue-purple plaques formed by bleeding. Qu Wanyue was so anxious that her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling. "Professor Xiao, I finally saw you! I don’t know what’s going on, Long Sen suddenly That's it..."
Xiao Lou carefully checked the bruise on Long Sen's body, and said with an ugly expression, "Have he been bitten by a mouse?"
Qu Wanyue quickly explained, "I encountered quicksand at the time. After we were swallowed by the sand, Long Sen's leg was bitten by the mouse. We were washed away by the quicksand to a far place. When I took him out, I couldn't see everyone. Up."
Lu Jiuchuan glanced at Long Sen who was unconscious and asked in a low voice, "Is he also infected with the plague?"
Xiao Lou calmly said, "It's probably a septic plague."
Qu Wanyue and Lu Jiuchuan obviously didn't understand such professional vocabulary and looked at each other.
In order to prevent Yu Hanjiang from hearing it, Xiao Lou deliberately lowered his voice and explained,
This kind of plague, also called fulminant plague, develops extremely rapidly, and within a short period of time, hemorrhages throughout the body and unconscious sepsis symptoms occur. Patients usually Will die within 3 days. Due to extensive skin bleeding, the body will turn black and purple after death..."
He took a deep breath, looked at Brother Nine and Qu Wanyue, and said, "Have you heard of the Black Death that swept Europe in the Middle Ages and caused more than 25 million deaths?"
