Chapter 42: They’re About to Die!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Suisui subconsciously wanted to object to Lu Ze’s decision, but compared to Pei Qian, Lu Ze was much more stubborn regarding this matter. There was no room for negotiation.
It was obvious that Pei Qian supported Lu Ze on this matter.
Therefore, in the end, Lin Suisui had no choice but to accept this arrangement.
“Do you know that it’s very dangerous to follow me into the infected area like this?!”
Because she was forced to accept it, when Lin Suisui left to make preparations, she naturally had to nag Lu Ze. Of course, her motive was very clear. She hoped that Lu Ze could retreat and change his mind!
“You’re right, but I have no intention of changing my mind.” Lu Ze accompanied Lin Suisui to pack her things. He didn’t feel annoyed by her nagging, but amused.
Of course, he understood why Lin Suisui was so naggy, but he didn’t think that his decision was wrong.
The refugees in the plague area most likely already knew about the illness in their bodies. Amidst their despair and madness, there was no telling what they would do!
They might not resent the sergeants who had confined them in the plague area. They would only vent all their dissatisfaction and anger on Lin Suisui, who was relatively weaker.
Therefore, letting a weak woman like her enter the plague area was no different from sending her to her death!
“Just tell me what we need to pay attention to.” Lu Ze turned around and looked at Lin Suisui. Before she could start nagging again, he continued to say to her calmly, “If you go in there alone and there’s no one to protect you, I’ll be worried.”
Lin Suisui didn’t have the chance to persuade Lu Ze anymore because she had already been surrounded by Mrs. Luo and the others.
Mrs. Luo naturally disagreed with Lin Suisui taking the initiative to go to the plague area. She pulled Lin Suisui and advised worriedly, “How can a girl like you take the initiative to get involved in such a thing?!
Didn’t they say that there were a few medical officers coming over this time? Shouldn’t those medical officers be the ones to deal with this?! It’s so dangerous. If anything happens to you, what will happen to your husband?!”
“He said he’ll go with me.” Lin Suisui turned to look at Lu Ze, who was packing everything up and putting it on the ox cart. Although she had yet to let go of her worries, when she said this to Mrs. Luo, she felt inexplicably touched.
“What?! Your husband said he would go with you?!” Mrs. Luo was dumbfounded when she heard Lin Suisui’s words. It was so dangerous to enter the plague area. Others wanted to hide. What was with this couple?!
“If I don’t go, what if others bully her?!” Lu Ze walked over and happened to hear Mrs. Luo’s exclamation. He replied, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious.”
Seeing that she couldn’t dissuade them anymore, Mrs. Luo didn’t say anything else to persuade them to stay. She only instructed them to be careful.
Lu Ze drove the ox cart and brought Lin Suisui into the newly designated tent area in the distance.
He and Lin Suisui didn’t occupy the tent set up for the patients. Instead, they stayed in their ox cart. Pei Qian had sent people over early and built a fence around this area with newly cut tree trunks. There were people patrolling and guarding the area, since they were afraid that someone inside would run out.
It was obvious that the wall was still being reinforced, but what attracted the most attention was the row of tall wooden supports that had been erected early on.
Lin Suisui was familiar with Pei Qian’s style of doing things. With just a glance, she could guess the use of these shelves!
Moreover, what surprised Lin Suisui even more was that Pei Qian was actually waiting for them at the entrance of the plague area.
“Go in first. I still have something to tell your husband.” Seeing Lin Suisui get out of the car and bow to him, Pei Qian only raised his hand to signal her to get up. At the same time, he stopped Lu Ze, who was beside her.
Lin Suisui didn’t say anything. Instead, she quickly took out the handkerchief she had just made in a hurry from the ox cart and wrapped it around her mouth and nose. She turned around and nodded at Lu Ze before turning around and entering the plague area without looking back.
On the other hand, Pei Qian didn’t delay Lu Ze for too long. When Lin Suisui entered an empty space in the plague area that was a distance away from those tents, Lu Ze also chased after her with an ox cart.
“Put this on first.” Lin Suisui reached out and handed Lu Ze a handkerchief. Then, she went into the ox cart and took out simple sleeves that she had made at the last minute. She handed them to Lu Ze and said, “I’m not sure how the plague spreads. I heard that people might get rashes that fester. I think it spreads through contact.
“In short, we have to try our best to avoid contact with the patients’ sores later. We also have to avoid face-to-face contact with them. Some plagues can also be spread between people.”
Lin Suisui helped Lu Ze put on gloves and took out a similar set of sleeves to put on. Then, she looked up and smiled at Lu Ze. “I’ll find the solution as soon as possible. Don’t worry.”
Lu Ze looked at the thin but upright figure walking in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity. This scene gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
However, at that time, the figure wasn’t running towards these infected patients, but the battlefield!
He couldn’t confirm it, but…
“Don’t be anxious!” Seeing that Lin Suisui was about to lift the curtain and enter the tent, Lu Ze didn’t have the time to think anymore and quickly chased after her.
After the initial screening, it was confirmed that there were about 18 refugees who had symptoms of the plague. There were some who had light symptoms and some who had heavy symptoms, but without exception, they all had some contact with the woman who had died.
According to Lin Suisui’s previous instructions, these patients were also arranged to be in five tents according to the severity of their conditions.
The tent she entered first was the one with patients that had relatively mild symptoms.
In a short period of time, the five refugees living here had already experienced despair.
The plague!
No one had expected that such a terrifying thing would happen to them one day! When they were sent in, they had argued and cried, but what could they do…
There was no point in cursing the woman who had passed the illness to them!
They were about to die!
