Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 233 Revenge
Considering the still somewhat chaotic situation outside, Jiang Minglang ultimately decided not to let Bai Li go out to meet Bao Xiaolin and Yueyue.

In fact, since the temperature rose and her pregnant belly became prominent, she has not left Yunxi Village.

With Bai Li's abilities, leaving the village should be fine, but what if something happens?
It's important to know that those who drown are often good swimmers. Not to mention Jiang Minglang, even Bai Li herself isn't adventurous; she's quite cautious and conservative.

So she prefers to wander around her own little corner of the house rather than go out. Moreover, since becoming pregnant, she's often felt sleepy, making her even less inclined to go out.

So in Shenzhen, apart from Baiguoyuan and Yunxi Village, almost no one outside knew that Bai Li was pregnant.

It's no wonder the couple is cautious; their special abilities are now well-known in bases large and small, and even Qiqi is often the subject of discussion, as his water-based abilities are now widely recognized.

If people knew they were pregnant with their second child, it wouldn't necessarily cause a sensation, but at the very least, the baby in her belly would definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.

This is not what Jiang Minglang and Bai Li want to see.

"Don't worry, I've arranged for them to stay in the hospital's staff quarters. The protection there is good, so it's relatively safe. Besides, Lao Sheng is there too; he'll go check on them from time to time. Once things settle down in the next couple of days, I'll bring them back."

He knew in his heart that, given his wife's relationship with Bao Xiaolin, she definitely wanted to bring the mother and daughter to Yunxi Village to recuperate.

but
Jiang Minglang thought for a moment and then said frankly to Bai Li, "Bao Xiaolin and Yueyue came from the western base. According to her, she couldn't stay there any longer, so she secretly escaped with Yueyue. You know, everyone who enters the base is registered, especially those with superpowers. Although the network hasn't been restored yet, it's being repaired, and all those with superpowers are first registered in the computer. I'm afraid she'll be on the blacklist there now. Although it wouldn't be difficult to conceal their identities, we still need to observe them for a while to make sure there are no problems before letting them stay."

After saying that, he added, "Although Pengcheng can only be considered a small base, it has already made a name for itself among the four major bases because it had a good starting point. The base leader's idea is that, apart from the Kyoto base, we need to ask clearly and write down all the people who come to join us from the East, West and South bases, in order to prevent the three major bases from arguing in the future and saying that we poached their people."

Bai Li had calmed down from her initial joy and, after listening to Jiang Minglang's explanation, understood even more clearly that Bao Xiaolin's matter could not be rushed.

She had oversimplified things. She felt that since she had traveled a long way to Shenzhen, she couldn't wait to see her friend whom she had been thinking about for a long time.

There's really no need to rush. Since they've arrived and the mother and daughter are both healthy, we'll see them sooner or later. There's no need to rush.

But why did she take Yueyue to the western base?
How far is it?

And what about her parents?
They're all gone now?

Meanwhile, Bao Xiaolin and her daughter, whom Bai Li was worried about, were rushing downstairs to the hospital.

Bao Xiaolin never expected that Yueyue's wound would become infected and fester, causing her to develop a fever and fall into a coma.

Yes, I wasn't woken up by the knocking not because I was sleeping too soundly, but because I was already unconscious from the fever.

Bao Xiaolin was immediately filled with remorse. The mother and daughter had come all the way from the remote western base, and Yueyue had always walked by herself. She had never once said she was tired and asked her mother to carry her. Her thoughtfulness made Bao Xiaolin feel sorry for her.

Just like yesterday when my arm bled while I was queuing, I didn't utter a sound.

It's her fault for being useless and not taking good care of her daughter.

Before picking Yueyue up, Bao Xiaolin touched the food bucket lying next to her. It hadn't woken up since falling asleep last night, but its body temperature felt normal and its breathing was steady. She checked its wound and found no inflammation, so it was probably healing on its own.

The last time it was injured, it slept for three days straight, and when it woke up, the wound was almost completely healed.

Bao Xiaolin ignored the rice bucket and hurriedly carried Yueyue out the door and downstairs.

I remember Xiao Sheng saying that there was a hospital nearby, and that she should contact Dr. Chen there if she needed anything.

When Bao Xiaolin rushed into the emergency room with Yueyue in her arms, she almost bumped into someone.

"sorry."

Bao Xiaolin didn't even have time to look at the other person's face before she apologized and continued rushing inside.

After rushing to the emergency room desk, he hurriedly said to the only nurse inside, "Hello, is Dr. Chen here? Xiao Sheng asked me to come and find him."

Oh no, I forgot to ask Xiao Sheng's full name. What if he asks me to tell him?

Sure enough, the nurse, who was writing a form at the table, said without looking up, "What, Xiao Sheng? You need to register first to see a doctor. Bring me your points bracelet."

Bao Xiaolin held Yueyue in one arm and took out the bracelet that Lao Sheng had given her from her pocket with the other hand, handing it to the emergency room table.

The nurse still didn't look at her, took the bracelet and placed it on a dark machine next to her. With a 'beep', the screen on the table immediately displayed the points and name in the bracelet.

"Ok?"

When the nurse saw the names and scores on the list, she was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Bao Xiaolin.

"What's wrong? Can't I use the scalper? I need to see Dr. Chen. My daughter's wound is infected and she has a fever."

Seeing that the nurse was looking at her without saying anything, Bao Xiaolin became anxious and urged, "Can I swipe it or not?"

".able."

The nurse finally realized what was happening and handed the wristband back to her from the black machine. Her words were much more polite than before. She pointed to the left and said, "The first emergency room. Dr. Chen is in there."

"Thank you."

Out of courtesy, Bao Xiaolin thanked the nurse and then rushed into the emergency room.

What she didn't notice was that at the entrance to the emergency room, the man who had almost bumped into her hadn't left. He was still standing there, watching her departing figure with a gloomy expression.

If Bao Xiaolin had looked at his face more closely just now, she would have recognized him as the person who discovered Yueyue's injury yesterday and tried to prevent them from entering the city.

However, we should also thank him. If he hadn't clashed with them, Jiang Minglang wouldn't have discovered the mother and daughter so early, and they wouldn't have been able to enter the city ahead of time.

What she didn't know was that because of the scratch from the rice bucket during the conflict, Mao Weihai's arm became inflamed and suppurated, and this morning it even showed signs of ulceration.

Of course, this was also related to his own carelessness last night. Liu Ying had specifically reminded him to disinfect and bandage the wound, but he didn't take it seriously. Last night, he was busy dealing with the rabid animals that attacked Pengcheng during the thunderstorm until midnight before handing over the shift to the team that came to replace them. Then he went back to his residence and fell asleep as soon as he got off the plane.

Normally, he would have slept until noon today, but he was woken up by pain half an hour ago. He then discovered that the wound scratched by that damned cat was red and hot, and yellow fluid was flowing out.

He was startled and finally dared not be careless anymore, so he rushed to the hospital to find a doctor to disinfect and bandage his wound.

No, the wound has progressed to a point where it can no longer be treated with disinfection and bandaging; the inflamed and necrotic flesh also needs to be cut away.

God knows how much pain he was in just now. Without anesthesia, they cut his flesh off, and it almost killed him.

Just as I finished dealing with the situation and stepped out, I bumped right into the culprit. What a twist of fate!

Mao Weihai gritted his teeth, thinking that if he didn't break this woman's arm today, he would have been letting down all the suffering he had just endured.

And that brat, if she hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed that cat yesterday, she would have been caught by Sister Ying's vines and strangled to a pulp. So, she also has to pay the price for her actions yesterday.

At this moment, Mao Weihua had forgotten Liu Ying's warning from yesterday and automatically ignored Lao Sheng. All he could think about was revenge, revenge for his injured left arm.

Mao Weihua took one last look at the emergency room where Bao Xiaolin was, then turned and walked out of the hospital.

Because it was still early, there weren't many people at the hospital besides the nurses on duty and two doctors.

Mao Weihua found a corner spot on the left side of the hospital gate and squatted down. As he did, an earthen wall slowly rose up in front of him until it completely covered him.

In the emergency room, Yueyue's wound had been re-dressed and bandaged by the doctor. Following Lao Sheng's instructions, Dr. Chen gave Yueyue a fever reducer after taking her temperature.

Then he said, "There's a rest room nearby. Take the child there to rest first. If the fever hasn't subsided in two hours, come back to me."

Bao Xiaolin thanked her repeatedly, then got up and carried the still unconscious Yueyue to the next room.

After carefully placing her daughter on the hospital bed, Bao Xiaolin pulled over a chair and sat down beside her.

She rushed over without even having breakfast, and now her stomach was growling with hunger. But Bao Xiaolin didn't care about her stomach at all. She kept putting her hand on Yueyue's forehead, hoping that time would pass quickly and that Yueyue's fever would go down.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Bao Xiaolin went to see Dr. Chen with a worried expression.

After a second check, it was confirmed that there were no signs of further deterioration of the wound, but the body temperature was still 40 degrees Celsius.

Dr. Chen asked Bao Xiaolin, "Does your daughter have supernatural abilities?"

Bao Xiaolin shook her head. "No."

"how about you?"

"I do, it's a superpower."

While it's not certain, among those who have had a persistent fever over the past six months, a few might develop supernatural abilities as a result. The probability is low, but the possibility cannot be ruled out.

He said to Bao Xiaolin, "I'll give you a fever reducer. Take your child home. If the fever doesn't subside after four hours, give her another dose. If the fever remains the same, but the wound shows signs of healing, then congratulations, your daughter may have developed supernatural abilities."

what?
Unleashing superpowers?

Bao Xiaolin was stunned for a few seconds, then her eyes lit up.

Oh dear, how could she not have thought of that possibility? She had heard people talk about it back at the western base, about how some people developed superpowers because of a fever, which led many to try it. In the end, two people not only failed to develop superpowers, but also developed pneumonia from the fever and died as a result.

From then on, no one deliberately made themselves have a fever.

So the odds are actually quite low.

Thinking of this, the light that had just appeared in Bao Xiaolin's eyes disappeared again, and she honestly asked Dr. Chen, "Can I use physical methods to lower the fever? Could you please prescribe some alcohol for me?"

In any case, she would not stand by and watch Yueyue get a fever for the sake of that vague and uncertain superpower.

After asking a few more questions, Bao Xiaolin took the alcohol prescribed by Dr. Chen, as well as disinfectant and gauze for treating external injuries, easily picked up her daughter, and strode outside.

In any case, apart from the fever not subsiding, everything else is normal, which puts her at ease.

After leaving the hospital, Bao Xiaolin turned right and headed towards the family compound.

Unaware of what was happening, at the corner to the left of the gate, behind a mud wall, Mao Weihua, who was now dozing off from waiting for so long, was unaware that his target for revenge had already left.

It wasn't until the city patrol passed by that the people had all gone past, but a young soldier at the back of the patrol saw the earthen wall.

He hurried to the front to report to the squad leader.

Then, Mao Weihua was easily "invited" out of the earthen wall by the patrol team.

When the soldiers from the management office notified them to go to the detention center to pick up their loved ones, Liu Ying and Liu Xu were having lunch.

The siblings heard each other say that Mao Weihua was staking out near the hospital, which was suspicious in itself, but he just wouldn't tell the truth.

In the end, they could only take him back to the detention center and lock him up.

They can bring him out now, but they have to explain clearly what he was planning to do in broad daylight by using his superpower to hide himself in a corner.
Liu Xu also wanted to know what this idiot was up to.

Liu Ying remained silent. She was observant and knew that Mao Weihao had gone to the hospital early that morning to check on his arm, which had been scratched by a cat the day before, and hadn't returned since.

She suspected that he had encountered the mother and daughter who had come to the city yesterday, along with the cat, near the hospital. He was hiding in a corner, perhaps waiting for them, and then seizing the opportunity to strike and avenge his arm.

Her brother was right, Mao Weihua was indeed a fool, but he was unaware of his own foolishness and always thought he was so smart.

Finally, Liu Xu said a lot of nice things to the captain of the detention center and even deducted dozens of points from his own account before he was finally able to persuade Mao Weihao to come back.

As soon as he got back to his place, he kicked him hard and said fiercely, "Mao Weihua, if you fucking want to die, just tell me. I'll do it myself, rather than let you drag us all down with you."

He had just heard from Liu Ying that yesterday a mother and daughter's cat injured him, and afterwards the two women were taken into the city by Lao Sheng, who was working for Jiang Minglang.

Does Lao Sheng know that mother and daughter?
surely not.

The person Jiang Minglang wants to protect is the same person Bai Li wants to protect.

Is Bai Li's man, Mao Weihao, seeking revenge?

Liu Xu was so angry he didn't know what to say. He kicked again and cursed, "It's just a little arm injury. Haven't you ever been injured before? Are you trying to get revenge on someone for something so trivial? Are you tired of living?"

Mao Weihai's expression was worse than crying. He lay on the ground and refused to get up, letting Liu Xu kick him as he pleased.

As for going to find Bao Xiaolin and Yueyue again, that idea is no longer on my mind.

good night!
