Chapter 1647: Ferocious bacteria
Translator: 549690339
Welder Zhao’s wound was on the edge of his palm, right in front of the web between his thumb and index finger. It was indeed a small wound, as if he had been cut by something sharp. It looked like he had only bled a little. The wound was only two or three centimeters long, and it was not deep.
In addition to this main wound, there were a few unremarkable minor wounds on his fingers.
Under normal circumstances, such a wound would not attract too much attention. Most people would not go to the hospital because of such a wound, let alone a careless person like welder Zhao.
However, it was such a small wound that the skin on both sides of the wound had turned white, and the flesh under the skin had turned slightly black. There were no signs of healing at all.
“Did you get this cut yesterday? How did you get cut? What did you get cut by?” Zhang Zian asked three times.
Welder Zhao didn’t seem to care, but electrician Wu could see his serious expression, just like the expression he had every time welder Zhao died at work. So, he answered the three questions for his old friend.
Zhang Zian had left early for the sea fishing event the previous afternoon. It was not easy for his co-workers to get together, so they would not leave easily. They would definitely enjoy themselves before going back.
The fishing team’s equipment, especially the safety equipment, was quite complete. Welder Zhao and electrician Wu only brought their own fishing rods. The fishing Team shared their spare equipment with them. In addition to fishing tools such as bait and thermal boxes, there were also safety equipment such as life jackets and cut-proof gloves.
Welder Zhao had been doing hard work for decades, so his palms were fat. He couldn’t put on the cut-proof gloves prepared by the fishing Team. He also thought it was too hot to wear the gloves, so he didn’t want to wear them. The others didn’t force him, only letting him wear a life jacket.
Because they had to put the bait on the hook, the gloves of the sea fishing Team were bare, or it would be inconvenient. In fact, the protective ability of these gloves was also very limited, mainly to prevent the palm from being cut by the line.
As he fished, a fish finally took the bait on welder Zhao’s bobber, which made him very excited since he hadn’t had any business for a long time. When the fish was out of the water, because of his unfamiliarity and the fact that the fish was always struggling, the fish was swaying left and right in the air, and he couldn’t put it into the bucket no matter how hard he tried. In a hurry, welder Zhao used his hand to touch the fish, and the fish entered the bucket. The edge of his palm was cut by the struggling fish, and it was bleeding.
When electrician Wu saw this scene, he was very nervous because there were too many precedents from Zhao Zun’s death at work. He quickly asked if the fish was poisonous.
The co-workers looked into the bucket and were certain that the fish was very common and definitely not poisonous.
More than one worker confirmed this statement and advised electrician Wu not to worry.
Welder Zhao didn’t care even more. He washed his wound with seawater, then asked for a band-aid from his co-workers. He stuck it on his wound and continued playing.
They played until the evening, and everyone returned to their homes. They found a barbecue stall to eat barbecue and drink beer. During this time, welder Zhao was fine, so electrician Wu was relieved.
By the time electrician Wu came to the Pet Shop with welder Zhao this morning, he had already forgotten about this small matter.
Electrician Wu told him everything that happened yesterday, but he didn’t think that such a small wound would affect him much. If the wound had been made by a rusty metal piece, or if the wound was deep and dirty, he would have forced welder Zhao to get a tetanus shot, but that wasn’t the case.
“Little Zhang, do you think there’s a problem with this wound?” Electrician Wu asked nervously.
Famous sniffed the wound and nodded to Zhang Zian, meaning that the rotten smell was coming from here.
Zhang Zian said with reservation,”it’s hard to say now.”
As he had pulled off the band-aid so violently, the wound that had not healed began to bleed again.
It wasn’t good to stay outside all the time. First, it was hot, and second, it would attract unnecessary attention.
He asked the staff to help the two old masters into the shop and found chairs for them to sit down and wait for a while. He went upstairs to get the Blood Collection Needles.
He had bought a microscope for the Elfins to test their blood types, and he had also brought along a blood collection needle. These days, under his guidance, little celery had gotten addicted to testing blood for cats and gained a lot of knowledge. He had also tested the Elfins ‘blood types clearly.
After that, the microscope did not eat any dust for the time being. After all, he had just gotten a new toy and was very fresh. He often used it to observe the microscopic world. He observed whatever he thought of. Chicken, onions, water droplets, cat food, bird droppings … They all became the objects of observation for him and the elves. It was quite interesting. The elves were even more amazed by the microscopic world that they had never seen before. There was actually an unimaginable world in the microscopic area that could not be seen with the naked eye.
Zhang Zian used a blood collection needle to pick up a drop of blood from welder Zhao’s wound, and then observed it through the microscope.
Under a high magnification microscope, red blood cells were like buns. They did not appear red when they were not dyed, and white blood cells were even more difficult to distinguish when they were not dyed.
He continued to adjust the magnification to see what the enemy the white blood cells were fighting hard against was.
Was it bacteria? Virus? Or a parasite?
As he magnified it, he saw some small black dots floating in the blood.
He continued to make minor adjustments, and the black dot’s true form finally became slightly clearer.
The microscope he bought was definitely not comparable to the ones in science laboratories. He could only vaguely see the outline of small black spots.
The little black dot was curved into an arc, and one could almost see the extremely fine fungi moving.
Zhang Zian’s heart sank. The combination of these two characteristics proved that they were some kind of vivibro.
If these Vipers were the cause of welder Zhao’s illness, and if they entered his body through the wound on his hand yesterday …
Assuming that the answers to the above two questions were yes, then the bacteria had only been in welder Zhao’s body for slightly more than 12 hours. In such a short time, it had already caused him to have symptoms of exhaustion. It could be seen that the bacteria multiplied rapidly, and the white blood cells in welder Zhao’s body were almost helpless against them. They could not play their due role in suppressing them.
Putting all the signs together, he suddenly thought of a type of bacteria that was common in the sea and extremely terrifying.
He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stood up and walked to welder Zhao, saying seriously,””Master Zhao, you must go to the hospital immediately. Go now, or call the ambulance to pick you up!”
Welder Zhao was still trying to be brave.”I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m much better now. It was just a heat stroke …”
Zhang Zian interrupted his nagging, pressed his shoulder and said,””Master Zhao, I’m telling you seriously that you might have been infected with the virus. If you don’t hurry to the hospital, you might lose your hand or even your life!”
