Chapter 235: Hospital
The sky above was completely sealed off. Looking up, massive raindrops fell on the sealed stones, a shocking sight.
The ground of Hai Cheng was also corroded into pits and hollows.
Li Yue and Hua Xi, seeing such a scene, suppressed their fear: “A Chu, this…”
Sang Chu comforted them, “Don’t worry, it’s sealed now. The acid rain is only harmful to the land and people, it can’t get in.”
Li Yue nodded, still shaken.
Inside the carriage.
Han Song held Tang Lei, who was in unbearable pain all over his body, his eyes red, anxiously looking at Zhou Changyi beside him: “Aren’t we there yet?”
Tang Lei heard the familiar voice, his lips trembled, and with a weak sob but a strong pretense of composure, he said, “Han, Brother Han, will I, will I die…”
Han Song: “No, the City Lord must have a way, there must be a way, don’t think too much, Brother is here!”
Zhou Changyi looked at Tang Lei, who was only in his early twenties, his eyes reddened, tears welling up: “Little Tang, it’s okay, it will be okay, you’ve endured so many years, you can get through this one too.”
Tang Lei had never felt such pain, but looking at the brothers surrounding him, he forced a smile: “Han, Brother, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhao, if, if I die, just, just cremate me, I, I don’t want to turn into, turn into a zombie.”
Sang Chu, upon entering, heard Tang Lei’s words and paused. Zuo Xue Feng followed behind, looking at the weak Tang Lei lying in Han Song and Zhou Changyi’s arms. He was instantly reminded of Xiao Yang. When he died, he was so young, with so much future ahead, yet he was gone.
Sang Chu knew Zuo Xue Feng was feeling sentimental, but the current situation made it difficult to say anything. She patted Zuo Xue Feng’s shoulder and said to Han Song and the others, “Bring Tang Lei out. The treatment room in the basement is ready.”
After the previous house building machines finished building the high walls, the remaining energy was mostly used for miscellaneous tasks. The underground laboratory and breeding farm couldn’t be extracted, so they could only open a door and build stairs for people to move around.
The underground laboratory and the main entrance were built in a separate space. Sang Jing Wen and the others met Sang Chu and her group as soon as they came out.
“Sang Sang? You’re back, what happened?”
Sang Chu: “Tang Lei was dripped on by the acid rain. I’m taking him to Lin Shao Qing now. Brother, you and Brother Yi take the magic beasts and control those ordinary people first.”
Seeing her serious expression, Sang Jing Wen became vigilant: “Okay, I understand.”
Sang Jing Wen turned and left. Sang Chu led Tang Lei and the group into the basement. Lin Shao Qing was already prepared. A magic array was drawn on the ground, with a medical pod in the center. Seeing Sang Chu, he said coldly, “Put him in. Crystal cores can’t be used for treatment.”
Sang Chu was silent for a moment, then threw him a small piece of self-made spirit stone: “Try this first to see if it works.”
Ever since Tu You said she could make spirit stones herself, Sang Chu had been preparing.
She used the pebbles Xi Rui helped her collect and some scavenged jade stones, soaking them in the spirit spring water in her jade bracelet space. Although the apocalypse had only been a few days, she had spent a month in the Monster Transformation World.
Upon receiving it, Lin Shao Qing quickly placed the jade stone on the magic array. Han Song, following his instructions, placed Tang Lei into the medical pod.
Lin Shao Qing took out his specialized scalpel and cut open Tang Lei’s abdomen: “Shi Feng, bring the antidote.”
“Okay.”
The two cooperated seamlessly, as if they had done this a thousand times before.
The acid rain was more terrifying than imagined.
It had entered Tang Lei’s body, slowly corroding his internal organs, melting them away like a candle.
Lin Shao Qing’s eyes gleamed with excitement. Sang Chu sighed slightly: “Stop playing. Tang Lei is very young, don’t leave any hidden dangers.”
“Got it, you nag.”
Lin Shao Qing glanced at Sang Chu with disdain, but his hands moved swiftly, pouring the medicine onto the corroded internal organs.
He put down the scalpel, took off his gloves, and the magic array on his palm lit up with a warm light, slowly shining on Tang Lei.
The corroded parts looked as if they had been washed with clear water, with no trace of damage.
Shi Feng watched the hourglass from the side, calculating the time: “Lin Shao Qing, time’s up.”
“So soon?”
Lin Shao Qing quickly sewed up his flesh. Under the effect of the medical pod, the wound healed rapidly.
Han Song and the others watched the miraculous scene before them with their mouths agape, not daring to make a sound. Only after the treatment ended did they manage to find their voices.
“It, it’s healed just like that?”
Zhou Changyi looked at Tang Lei’s gradually recovering heartbeat and his breathing becoming more even, saying, “It should, be okay, right?”
Lin Shao Qing looked at them, his disdain evident: “It’s not that fast. The poison in your bodies goes straight to the lungs and internal organs. On the surface, it’s just a minor injury, but it’s all internal. We’ve only temporarily cleared a part of the poison. It will take several more days to clear it all. You can only pray to the Demon King, hoping that while he’s recuperating, this poison won’t relapse!”
He had never encountered such a difficult poison. The poison in Sang Chu’s body could be completely cleared because he didn’t hold back. At that time, Sang Chu’s life or death was irrelevant to him; as long as her body was clean, he could clear it all in one go.
But a living person is different. Even those zombies couldn’t last until the poison was completely cleared before dying. A living person would be even less likely to endure the complete clearing.
Lin Shao Qing’s words made Han Song and the others’ faces turn pale. Sang Chu comforted them, “Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.” Saying this, she turned to Li Yue: “Dr. Li, you’re more familiar with medical pods. From now on, you’ll work with Lin Shao Qing and the others here to research treatment methods, okay?”
Li Yue looked at Tang Lei lying in the medical pod and nodded: “Okay, I’ll do my best for anything I can do.”
Sang Chu smiled: “We definitely can. We really need your knowledge and talent.”
After speaking, she took out a house building machine, operated it on an optical computer, and then took out a large pile of optical computers and placed them on the table. She said to Hua Xi, “Sister Hua Xi, you have more experience as a receptionist. I’ll entrust all these things to you for safekeeping. I’ll draft a list of supernatural ability users for you later. As for the optical computers, each person can get one.”
This basement will be converted into a hospital from now on. You decide how to divide it. I’ll send you the scan of the basement. I’ll also give you a house building machine. Lin Shao Qing and Dr. Li both need independent laboratories, so please pay attention to that. Also, areas like rest areas, you can arrange those as well.”
Sang Chu’s series of instructions made Hua Xi dizzy: “This, this mission is too…”
“Sister Hua Xi, I believe you can do it. Big Brother Zuo will also be employed at the hospital, responsible for daily safety and patrols. I’ll arrange for more people to come later, but currently, there are very few people in Hai Shi, so I’ll have to trouble everyone to do more with what they have.”
