After returning to the church, after settling Andy and others for a while, Egg saw the four of them shivering from the cold, so he took the four of them to the place where debris was piled behind the isolation room, and each picked out a suit of clothes that fit them.
Autumn is like this. A few days ago it might have been so hot that people felt that summer was not over yet. After a few gentle autumn rains, it immediately felt so cold that people doubted their life.
While the four of them were changing clothes, Avella brought iodophor spray and clean gauze to treat the wounds of the two ladies, while Egger helped Father Locke take care of the two more seriously injured men.
Since Clyde was wearing shorts and shorts before, he had more wounds on his body than Andy.
Finally, when Clyde carefully untied a piece of cloth from his right ear, half of his ear that looked a little scary was revealed.
Father Locke asked Clyde to sit by the window. He gently touched the edge of the wound with his fingers and frowned.
"Hey, what's wrong, Father." Clyde forced a smile and said to Father Locke, "Thank you for your previous broadcast notice. We also found that being bitten by an infected person will not lead to infection."
"How long have you been injured?" Father Locke asked Clyde.
"Well, it happened shortly after the sun rose this morning." Clyde said nervously.
Father Locke did not hide anything and said directly: "Your wound looks a little strange."
When Father Locke said this, Andy and Egg, who were busy nearby, both turned their attention.
Father Locke continued: "Calculating time, your ear injury should have been about 10 hours ago, and judging from the condition of your clothes, your bodies were exposed to unclean water today."
Clyde nodded.
When they met two strong infected people in the morning, the six of them fell for a long time in the wetland with stagnant water and mud, and it took a lot of effort to bring down the two infected people.
In the afternoon, after finally getting dry, the four of us were hit by a violent thunderstorm and were drowned from head to toe.
In Father Locke's silence, Clyde finally couldn't help but ask: "Father, what is the problem with the wound? You can tell me directly."
Father Locke shook his head and said: "It's not that there's anything wrong with you, it's that there's nothing wrong with you."
Um?
The three people on the side were confused.
Father Locke turned to Andy seriously and said, "Show me the wounds on your body too."
Andy raised his left leg. There was a stab wound on his inner thigh made by something unknown. The wound was not long, but it was very deep.
Father Locke squatted down and carefully checked Andy's injuries. Then he pointed at the wounds and said to Egger: "Look, their wounds are too new."
A fresh wound? Isn’t that bad?
Iger got closer and took a closer look at Andy's thighs in confusion. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind. Yes, something was indeed wrong!
Egg discovered the problem that Father Locke pointed out. The wound was indeed too new.
The injuries of these two were not too minor, at least they were not skin injuries.
They had been busy escaping in the wild all day today, with their exposed wounds stained by rain and mud. It had been more than ten hours now.
According to the worse prediction, their current wounds should appear red or white, which is a sign of some bacterial infection.
But Egg saw that whether it was Andy's leg injury or Clyde's ear, after cleaning with cold water, the wounds were very pink and tender, with no signs of infection at all.
This is unreasonable.
Egg took a deep breath and hurriedly raised his left arm. The bite mark on his left arm had healed, leaving only a scar that was invisible anyway.
Father Locke asked Egger seriously: "In addition to using sparkling water to disinfect, did you use anything else to disinfect or sterilize that day?"
Egg shook his head.
After treating the wound with sparkling water and underwear that day, he saw that the lost health points had been restored, so he didn't take it to heart anymore. In addition, there were a lot of things in those days, and he forgot about it as soon as he got busy.
If Iger remembers correctly, the obese infected person bit him on his left arm that day. Vance lay down and shot him in the eye from bottom to top. The infected person's eye socket was penetrated, and then he was shot in the skull cavity.
The stuff spurted out from his eyes, covering Egg all over.
When Vance carried the ax and went to meet the last infected person alone, Egger checked the wound because of the severe pain. He clearly saw the stinky paste sticking to his wound, which Egger could clearly understand with his shallow hygiene knowledge.
Know: The wound is contaminated.
That's why Iger hurriedly took out sparkling water to rinse and disinfect the wound.
Carbonic acid does have a certain killing effect on bacteria, but the effect is limited. Originally, I was just preparing a temporary bandage, but after returning to the camp, I discussed setting up a search and rescue team, and I immediately forgot about Egg.
Today, Iger realized belatedly that he had never had any symptoms of infection, such as fever or wound suppuration.
After Iger was stunned for a moment, he changed the topic and said to Father Locke: "It's a good thing that the wounds are not infected. Let's bandage them quickly."
Father Locke nodded, and the two quickly treated the wounds of Andy and Clyde, who were confused.
Andy and Clyde thanked them gratefully and walked out of the priest's bedroom, which was used as a temporary medical room. While Egg was packing up the medical equipment, he put forward his hypothesis to Father Locke.
"Father, I think one of my previous conjectures may have been confirmed." Egger didn't look like a child at all at this time. Only when he was alone with Father Locke could Egger show his unscrupulous behavior that was completely unbecoming of a child.
That side of a child’s personality.
"Tell me about it." Father Locke encouraged Iger.
"The blood plague has infected everyone." Egger said, "All of us have been infected by the blood plague, and so far, we have not been cured."
After Iger corrected his thinking and reorganized his language, he said: "What I mean is that although our bodies have temporarily shown immunity to the blood plague, the blood plague organisms have filled our bodies and they have occupied us.
All skin, muscles, blood, various organs and tissues.
Blood plague organisms are temporarily helpless to our bodies for unknown reasons. But they kill other competitors in our bodies, such as various parasitic bacteria, bacteria trying to invade, and even viruses."
Egg closed the medical box after finishing it. He straightened up and turned to Father Locke and said: "On the bright side, we may not get sick anymore. All diseases caused by microorganisms have been 'miracles'
Just disappeared."
"The bad thing is." Iger said very seriously to the priest: "We don't know how long the current 'immunity' situation will last."
Egger paused and then said: "In other words, no matter what we do or don't do, we may suddenly become blood plagued without warning."
If Egger's conjecture is true, there may no longer be any survivors in this world at any time.
