Chapter 123: Madness (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’s hard to say. After all, look, Ye Xingchen said that we should wait here first and that he would bring Doctor Lin to treat us. But look, it’s been a day and a night. Other than giving us a bunch of food, has he ever cared about us?” “That’s right. He said that he would get Doctor Lin to come, but it’s been a day and a night. Why? This road takes that long to walk?!”
“Do you think Ye Xingchen already knew? He never meant to save us.”
“He gave us food and asked us to wait for him here. Does he mean that we should wait here for death?”
Suddenly, the remaining eight of them fell into a strange silence.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Brother Ye, isn’t he usually quite nice? How could he ignore us?”
“Maybe Brother Zhao is too injured and hasn’t been cured yet?”
“What are you saying? Why? If Zhao Hao is a human, then aren’t we human too?! Why did Ye Xingchen only save Zhao Hao and not care about us at all? If we hadn’t run away quickly just now, we might have lost our lives too. You’re still speaking up for him!”
“Then what should we do? Do we continue to wait here? Or are we going home?”
“What if he really brought Doctor Lin here and found out that we’ve all left? Will he stop treating us?”
“Who knows? Anyway, I’m not staying. The wounds on my body aren’t big, just a little. 1 don’t believe that I’ll be infected. If you want to stay, it’s up to you.”
Their guess was right. Ye Xingchen pulled out the surveillance camera and saw the situation at the entrance of the community. He could not help but frown.
It seemed that Lin Sijia was right. This was really not a simple prion virus, but a new type of virus that was produced after the prion virus combined with other viruses. After all, people infected with the prion virus would only suddenly become anxious and irritable, but it would not be transmitted through wounds. It was obvious that it had already been transmitted through wounds.
Ye Xingchen indeed had no intention of saving them. Of course, the medicine was so precious now. Moreover, he did not know what virus they were infected with. Even if he could prescribe medicine, he did not know what medicine to use. This virus had never been seen before. How could he save them?
Moreover, if Ye Xingchen really brought Lin Sijia over to bandage them one by one, they might suddenly go crazy like those people and injure Lin Sijia. Then, he would lose his personal doctor.
Not now. At least, before Ye Xingchen found another doctor who was better than Lin Sijia, Ye Xingchen could not let Lin Sijia suffer any harm.
“What do you think?”
Ye Xingchen looked at the screen, then turned to ask Lin Sijia, who was peeling an apple for him.
“It’s hard to say, but now it seems that their virus should be contagious.”
“Brother Zhao is fine. It might be because of his ability.”
“They seem to be preparing to go home. Do you have any plans? We still don’t know how much of the virus would accumulate before it broke out. We also don’t know if the infection is related to their wound size or the way they were injured.”
Lin Sijia was a little worried. She saw the few people who were locked outside the iron gate being eaten. Although Ye Xingchen could not enlarge the scene, she could imagine how scary and bloody the scene was.
A peeled apple was stuffed into Ye Xingchen’s mouth by Lin Sijia. She had wanted to eat one herself, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly couldn’t eat it.
“Will it affect them when they go home? What if they are infected and mutate?”
“Will it slowly infect the entire community?”
Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows. He thought so too.
After all, if it could be infected through wounds, it meant that his previous guess was right. Perhaps the body fluids of those mutated people also had the ability to infect.
Ye Xingchen was not sure if those infected people were bitten by mutants. He did not know if those people mutated because their wounds were stained with the saliva of mutants. He also did not know if the remaining eight people at the gate did not mutate because their wounds were relatively shallow.
Perhaps they could also mutate? However, there wasn’t enough of this virus in their bodies to cause them to mutate?!
Ye Xingchen had all kinds of guesses in his heart, but without exception, he felt that it was better for these people to die outside.
It was a pity that these few were all men, and they were all in their prime. When they die, there would be a loss of a dozen able-bodied men.
He definitely could not allow the virus to spread, but Ye Xingchen could not let everyone panic either.
Taking out his phone, Ye Xingchen opened the group chat.
“Everyone, please pay attention. Doctor Lin and 1 have found out that the group of people who attacked our community last time had a very infectious virus on them. This virus can be transmitted through wounds. Brother Zhao is the one with the most serious injuries. Now, Doctor Lin and 1 have stabilized Brother Zhao’s condition.”
Then, Ye Xingchen added a special sentence to the group chat.
“Those who are waiting at the entrance of the residential area, please wait a little longer. Doctor Lin is currently developing the medicine. Everyone, don’t panic and wait patiently. If you leave without permission and cause a large-scale infection, you will bear the consequences.”
Ye Xingchen didn’t really want Lin Sijia to develop any medicine. After all, Lin Sijia had no clue. He just wanted everyone to know that the virus was contagious so that everyone could supervise those who wanted to go home.
“I knew it! Look at the group chat. I told you Brother Ye wouldn’t abandon us!”
Li Qiang, who had vaguely wanted to leave just now, shouted at the phone. Since the first day, when he got the reward for five people, he had been following Ye Xingchen with all his heart, even though Ye Xingchen had never mentioned him.
“Is that so? Did Ye Xingchen really say that he was researching medicine? Could Doctor Lin really develop it? I don’t want to die yet.”
“My phone is out of battery. Let me see what he said!”
“Is Ye Xingchen really developing medicine, or does he just want us to stay here and not move? It’s been so long, and he hasn’t brought Doctor Lin to see us!” “Bah, you’re not allowed to slander Brother Ye like this! Brother Ye is so good to us!”
