Chapter 1046
When the fuel gauge pointer was firmly stuck at full, Mu Mu reached out to close the valve. The metal valve handle made a dry "click" sound as it turned, which was particularly clear in the sea breeze.
He leaned over to check the interface and confirmed that there was no fuel leakage before he stood up and wiped the sweat from his face.
Continue to extend the hose into the container that has been prepared long ago.
Several containers in their inventory were also brought up, ready to be filled up using this opportunity.
Used as supplies on the road.
But in fact, being able to fill up the entire cruise ship's fuel tank at once was something that none of them had thought of before.
A full tank of gas is enough for them to sail at sea for two or three months.
The others also looked relieved.
The sun was shining brightly, and the strong light reflected from the sea made it impossible to open your eyes.
Qi Mingyu leaned against the side of the boat, the submachine gun in his hand always pointed at the group of small boats hovering in the distance.
While helping with the container, Zhong Tiyun kept an eye on He Chengshi's movements. He had his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
When Zhou Shuwan walked over, he happened to meet He Chengshi's raised eyes.
The wound on his abdomen was still bleeding slowly, and dark red blood was dripping down through the gaps in the ropes, forming small puddles of blood on the deck.
His face was pale, but the hatred in his eyes was like a poisoned needle, piercing Zhou Shuwan.
"Don't look at me like that," Zhou Shuwan squatted down, his throat dry and hoarse from not drinking water for a long time. "We have no plans to do anything. Once these containers are full, we will let you go back to your ship."
He Chengshi's Adam's apple moved, he turned his face away, and a muffled "ho ho" sounded from his throat, as if mocking her "kindness".
Looking at the countless dead bodies and mess on the sea, you still say you are not going to do anything!
He is inviting a wolf into the house!
Zhou Shuwan didn't argue anymore, stood up and went back to Mu Mu, helping him hold the shaking hose.
Time passes extremely slowly in the mechanical repetition.
For two hours, no one dared to stop. Even Zhou Jianghai supported his injured shoulder and helped pass tools and wipe sweat.
The group of small boats in the distance were always hovering five hundred meters away. Occasionally, a few of them wanted to move forward, but they were forced back by Qi Mingyu's gunfire.
Everyone was on edge, knowing that danger could strike at any time if the fuel was not full.
Finally, the oil level in the last container was about to reach the mark. When Mu Mu was about to close the valve, a painful groan suddenly broke the silence of the sea.
"Uh……"
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu turned around at the same time, their pupils shrinking instantly.
He Chengshi suddenly arched his body, and his body tied with ropes began to twitch violently. His head, which was originally lowered, tilted back, the blue veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes rolled back.
The wound on his abdomen was completely torn apart due to the violent twisting. The originally coagulated blood clot fell off, and dark red blood beads dripped madly along the gaps in the rope, leaving a large dark mark on the deck.
"What happened to him?" Zhong Tiyun dropped the rag in her hand to the ground, her tone full of nervousness: "The wound didn't seem deep before, why is he twitching like this?"
Zhou Shuwan rushed over quickly, squatted down and held He Chengshi's shoulders, and quickly turned up his eyelids with his other hand - his pupils were rapidly expanding, and the whites of his eyes were covered with fine red blood vessels.
This was no ordinary convulsion caused by the pain of a wound.
Zhou Shuwan rushed over quickly, squatted down and pressed He Chengshi's shoulders. He could clearly feel the stiffness and trembling of his muscles.
She quickly flipped up his eyelids.
The pupils were dilating, the whites of the eyes were covered with fine red bloodshot, and the lips were an abnormal bluish purple.
"It's a high fever convulsion caused by wound infection!" Zhou Shuwan reacted immediately, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
How can there be a clean environment in the apocalypse?
The rust on the deck, the salt particles in the sea breeze, and even the mud and sand splashed by the previous explosion may seep in through the wound.
When He Chengshi was tied up, he kept struggling secretly, and his wounds repeatedly rubbed against the iron pillars. His skin and flesh, which had not healed yet, remained damaged, and infection had long been a hidden danger.
In addition, he had not eaten or drunk any water since he was arrested, so his body resistance was reduced to the lowest level. Once the high fever came, it directly triggered convulsions.
This situation is very common in the end times. Many people do not die from serious injuries, but from such inconspicuous infections.
"Mu Mu, get the first aid kit!" Zhou Shuwan shouted anxiously, holding He Chengshi's shoulders tightly with both hands, trying to calm him down.
But He Chengshi's convulsions became more and more violent, and his body twisted on the deck like a dehydrated fish.
The first aid kit had been used before and was lying nearby.
Mu Mu rushed over and ran to deliver it.
He first took out a piece of clean cloth and handed it over: "Sister Wanwan, put it in his mouth first, don't let him bite his tongue!"
During a febrile convulsion, a person loses consciousness and their chewing muscles contract uncontrollably, making it easy to bite their tongue.
Zhou Shuwan took the cloth strip and took advantage of the moment when He Chengshi opened his mouth to groan, quickly stuffed the cloth strip into his mouth, and asked Mu Mu to hold his jaw and hold it firmly.
Then, Mu Mu took out saline solution and iodine tincture, which were the only two disinfectants they had.
Zhou Shuwan carefully untied the ropes around He Chengshi's waist and abdomen. As soon as he loosened it a little, he saw that the wound had split open into a two-finger-wide gap. The gauze that had been used for bandaging had long been soaked with blood and stuck to the skin.
She soaked the gauze with saline solution and applied it to the wound little by little. After the gauze softened, she gently peeled it off.
Every time he moved, He Chengshi's body twitched, a painful whimper came from his throat, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead like beads from a broken string.
You can imagine how painful this is!
But this is how people endure in the last days.
"Bear with it." Zhou Shuwan's tone was calm but firm. "We must clean out the dirt in the wound now, otherwise the high fever won't subside, and if it convulses, it will be life-threatening."
She repeatedly rinsed the wound with saline solution, and her fingertips could feel tiny particles on the edge of the wound.
Those are rust and sand on the deck. If these things are not cleaned up, the infection will only get worse.
He Chengshi's body trembled violently, and a hint of clarity flashed in his originally white eyes. Perhaps the pain made him temporarily sober.
"There is a small stone in the wound!" Zhou Shuwan frowned suddenly. She felt a hard object deep in the wound.
She immediately took out a pair of tweezers from the first aid kit, soaked them repeatedly in iodine to disinfect them, and then carefully inserted them into the wound.
The moment the tip of the tweezers touched the pebble, He Chengshi raised his head suddenly, and the cloth in his mouth made a "crunching" sound as he bit it.
Zhou Shuwan held his breath, lowered his wrist slightly, firmly grasped the soybean-sized stone, and quickly picked it out.
The stones were still stained with blood and rust, and they made a crisp sound when they fell on the deck.
She didn't stop, but continued to feel around in the wound, picking out a few tiny pieces of rust one after another until there was no more foreign matter in the wound, then she pressed with clean gauze to stop the bleeding.
It seems that when his wounds were examined a few hours ago, no foreign objects were found in them.
