Chapter 1535 They Don’t Need Points for Treatment? ?
Dabie Mountains.
A group of people shuttled through them, and Tian Shiming and Meng Zhi carried Xie Zihao on a simple stretcher made on the road.
Starting from 7:30 in the morning, they walked for a full eight hours without stopping.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, they finally reached the edge of Xinxian County.
Looking at the small town at the foot of the mountain, Zhu Ziming was shocked.
He shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers, we will be there after we get down the mountain."
As he said that, he picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the team members waiting at the foot of the mountain to drive the car over.
Half an hour later, two dilapidated pickup trucks stopped at the foot of the mountain.
After the two team members came over, they took the stretcher from Lao Meng and others and lifted Xie Zihao into the car.
Everyone carried the luggage and the carcasses of the hunted animals in their hands and threw them into the pickup truck bed.
Song Zhihui looked at Zhu Ziming and his harvest, which was not bad, with a total of about 200 kilograms of meat.
"Brother Zhu, Zihao should be fine, right?" Song Zhihui sat in the driver's seat, preparing to start the car.
Zhu Ziming hadn't slept all night, and after an eight-hour long journey, he was now a little dazed.
He waved his hand, "Let's go back to the trading market first."
"Okay." Song Zhihui started the car and drove towards the trading market.
There were more than a dozen people in the car, and the front seats of the two cars alone could not accommodate so many people, so the others sat in the truck bed.
Wen Qian looked at the animal carcasses in front of him and sighed.
"Damn, if we bring back that black bear, our harvest this time will at least double!"
Sun Peng looked at him, "It's good enough that we can get down the mountain safely, why do we still want to do that."
Wen Qian's eyes were full of pity. That was the prey they had waited for a long time, and they caught it, but they just threw it to the zombie boar in vain.
"I think that we spent so much effort, but it was all ruined by those zombie wild boars. What a waste! Alas."
"Don't think so. The black bear actually saved our lives. If it weren't for the black bear's corpse, we wouldn't be able to escape if the zombie wild boars rushed over."
"That's what I said, but it's still a pity."
Wen Qian looked at the green mountains and forests on both sides, his eyes were a little confused, and he murmured:
"Old Sun, I'm a little tired. Every day is like this, and I'm in danger of dying. I take such a big risk. I might die one day if I'm unlucky. Do you think we can think of a way to change the way?"
Sun Peng heard this, and he was also tired after not sleeping all night.
Leaning on the truck bed, he looked up at the scorching sun.
"Be contented, be contented. If you are tired, take a few days off, but after the rest, you still have to work."
"We don't have any professional skills, but we know how to hunt. Now we can earn such high points in the trading market, which has made many people envious. Let's work first and save more points. When we have enough points for all of us, we don't have to work so hard."
Wen Qian listened to Sun Peng's words with mixed feelings.
Yes!
They caught animals, brought them back to the trading market for barbecue and sale, and made a lot of money.
But they fought for it with their lives.
In the past two months, two team members have died in the primeval forest.
He didn't know when it would be his turn.
It took an hour to get from Xinxian to the trading market.
Cao Le, who was guarding the gate, was very familiar with their team specializing in hunting animals. They went out hunting almost every week and brought back prey every time.
Cao Le admired them very much. He knew the dangers in the primeval forest. In such a dangerous environment, these people were able to hunt and come back. They must have some skills.
The pickup trucks lined up and stopped when they passed the gate.
Zhu Ziming got out of the car and shouted to Cao Le:
"Captain Cao."
Cao Le smiled and nodded, "Another harvest?"
Zhu Ziming squeezed a smile on his face, "Captain Cao, let me say hello to you first. One of our team members was scratched by the claws of a leopard. Don't worry, it was not bitten by a zombie."
Cao Le heard this and his smile immediately subsided.
He frowned and said:
"Bring him here to see."
Zhu Ziming waved to the back, and Meng Zhi and Song Zhihui carried Xie Zihao out.
Cao Le squatted down and saw Xie Zihao's pale face and no blood on his lips.
"Open his eyelids for me to see." Cao Le asked Zhu Ziming to do it himself.
Zhu Ziming immediately went over to pry open Xie Zihao's upper and lower eyelids. Cao Le took a closer look and found that there was indeed no sign of redness.
There were no black lines on his face. Generally speaking, after being infected by the zombie virus, it would take tens of seconds or more than ten minutes for the virus to mutate.
At present, it seems that Xie Zihao has no symptoms of mutation at all, so he should be fine.
But he was cautious and said, "Open the wound for me to see."
"Okay."
Zhu Ziming did not hesitate and immediately squatted down to remove the bandage on Xie Zihao.
Hiss!
The wound was red and swollen, and pus occasionally overflowed from the wound. There were three deep wounds and a piece of erosion.
It's still inflamed!
The weather was hot, and Xie Zihao's wound on the stretcher was constantly rubbed because he had been walking all day.
This caused Xie Zihao, who had taken anti-inflammatory drugs, to still have an inflamed wound.
Cao Le looked at the injury and it looked like he was scratched by the claws of a large carnivore.
So he said, "You guys go to the city first. After the routine inspection, just stay for ten minutes."
"Thank you, Captain Cao." Zhu Ziming said gratefully.
He handed over a rabbit, and Cao Le frowned when he saw it.
"Don't hurt me, go in quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Ziming put away the rabbit awkwardly. He didn't want it if he gave it to them privately or directly. The management staff of the trading market was really good.
Two broken pickup trucks went in for inspection.
Because they brought meat in, they had to go through an extra quarantine and conduct a detailed inspection of the meat.
This inspection took more than ten minutes.
When they entered the trading market, Xie Dongming and his wife, who had been waiting at the door of the trading market, rushed over instantly.
When Xie Dongming's wife saw Xie Zihao lying on the stretcher, tears could not stop falling.
"My son, what happened to him?"
Xie Dongming was unusually calm, with a flash of worry in his eyes, and looked at the wound.
Without hesitation, he said, "Send it to the clinic now."
The treatment fee at the clinic in the trading market is very expensive, but they now have more than 1,500 points and can afford it.
Xie Dongming was eager to save his son, so he took Xie Zihao to the clinic.
Before entering the clinic, he stopped and turned his head to explain: "Ziming, Xiaoliu is watching over the store now. You take all the meat to the store to process it. I'll go to the clinic."
"Okay, big brother, don't worry." Zhu Ziming is also very tired now, but he knows that he must hurry to process the meat. The weather is hot now, and if it is not processed in time, the meat will go bad.
The meat obtained in the previous few days was smoked, but the animal carcasses caught yesterday have not been processed yet.
Today, we have been rushing all day and have no time to process it. Now the meat has some smell.
Xie Dongming and his group hurried to the clinic building.
Registration is required in the clinic, but there is also an emergency.
In the hall of hundreds of square meters, there are only a dozen people queuing.
Xie Dongming and others carried someone in, instantly attracting the attention of people in the hall.
The nurse on duty saw them carrying someone in and thought it was a life-threatening emergency.
So someone pushed a bed in and asked them to put Xie Zihao on the bed.
"What's his problem?"
Xie Dongming opened the bandage on his son's back and showed it to the nurse.
After the nurse looked at the wound, "It's just this wound, right? Are there any others?"
"No."
The nurse paused for two seconds, "Well, I suggest you register and wait, there's no need for emergency."
"How long will it take?" Xie Dongming asked hurriedly.
"Half an hour." The nurse took a number for him and left. She had other things to do.
Xie Zihao's injury was not a fatal injury. It was not the kind that would kill him immediately if he was not treated now.
There is still a worker who fell on the construction site and is now in the ICU for rescue.
He only had three large cuts on his back. He won't die, at least not today.
After seeing the nurse leave, Meng Zhi cursed:
"Why do they have such an attitude? It's too bad!"
Xie Dongming glared at him, "Keep your voice down!"
He didn't want to offend anyone. Although he was a little upset now, this was the only clinic in the trading market.
The wound had become inflamed, infected and ulcerated, and the wound was so big that they couldn't treat it themselves, so they could only rely on this clinic.
Meng Zhi was glared at, and he pouting in anger and dared not speak.
Half an hour of tormenting waiting.
Finally, their number was called.
They pushed Xie Zihao into the clinic. Bai Yongzhang wore glasses and gloves to check the wound and measured Xie Zihao's temperature, 40.2 degrees.
He frowned, "What caused this wound?"
"Golden Leopard." Meng Zhi quickly replied.
Bai Yongzhang nodded and said to the nurse next to him:
"Prepare hydrogen peroxide, iodine, glucose solution, and bandaging tools."
Seeing that Xie Zihao and the others were still here, he said impatiently:
"You guys go out first, it's not a big problem. Although it's inflamed, it's still timely and the wound hasn't worsened."
Hearing the doctor say it's okay, Xie Dongming and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
This is their only son.
Another nurse came over, "You guys pay the fee first."
Xie Dongming nodded and followed.
Meng Zhi and Xie Dongming's wife waited in the hall.
A few minutes later, Xie Dongming came back.
Meng Zhi stood up quickly, "Brother Xie, is it expensive?"
Xie Dongming thought for a while and said,
"I don't know, she said she would deduct 10 basic treatment points first, and then calculate the full amount after discharge."
"10 points, so expensive!" Meng Zhi was shocked.
This is still a basic treatment point, and it may take at least 50 points later.
Too expensive!
Xie Dongming shook his head and said, "It's not expensive anymore. Medical supplies are in short supply these days, and as a Level 4 employee, the price is reduced by 50%."
Before he finished speaking, a sobbing sound beside him caught their attention.
Woo-woo-woo--
Xie Dongming turned his head and saw a thin girl sobbing in a row of seats to their right, with a strong man patting her shoulder.
"Don't worry, your father has already been to the emergency room, and he will definitely be saved."
The girl's delicate shoulders trembled, and she raised her head. Her dark and thin face was full of tears.
"Uncle Liu, my dad..." The girl choked and asked:
"My dad, can he really survive?"
Liu Sheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the teenage girl crying like this.
Damn it!
He watched his co-worker Hong Fu fall from the scaffolding. He didn't know why he fell. Now the management of the trading market is investigating.
If it weren't for the green net covering it, Hong Fu would have died on the spot.
This is the first time such a serious construction site accident has happened.
"Yes, you can definitely survive."
"My dad. How did he get injured?" The girl asked with tears in her eyes.
Liu Sheng sighed, "Your dad fell from the scaffolding of more than ten meters. If it weren't for..."
Thinking of the scene where she just saw her father spitting blood, the girl was even more sad.
Xie Dongming, Meng Zhi, and his wife listened to the conversation between the two people, feeling mixed emotions.
It was too tragic!
It was unknown whether they would survive after falling from such a high place.
More importantly, judging from the appearance of these two people, they probably didn't have many points, and they might not be able to pay the points for treatment later.
If they could borrow money, they might have to bear a huge amount of points loan later.
Suddenly, a nurse shouted in the hall, "Where is Hong Fu's family? Come and pay the treatment points."
Xie Dongming and the others looked at the girl and the strong man with pitiful eyes when they heard it.
"Let's go and see." Meng Zhi was curious about how many points he had to pay, so he followed him.
When the girl and the strong man heard that they had to pay points, their hearts tightened.
The girl stood up nervously, her hands were a little cramped, her eyes were blank, and she looked at Liu Sheng with a pleading look.
"Uncle Liu, my family only has 14 points. If it's not enough, I can borrow from you."
"Okay, I'll give you all I have!"
Before the girl finished her words, Liu Sheng answered him without hesitation.
The girl burst into tears again, bowed to Liu Sheng, and said with sobs: "Thank you, Uncle Liu."
But Liu Sheng was also a little nervous, because he only had 16 points.
He had heard that the clinics in the trading market were very expensive. Such a serious injury would probably cost hundreds or even hundreds of points.
But he and Hong Fu's points were only 30.
A drop in the bucket.
The two walked to the payment counter, and the nurse said:
"Confirm, Hong Fu, a level 4 personnel. You are his daughter, Hong Lele. Right?"
"Yes." The girl raised her red and swollen eyes and nodded.
She was a little nervous, she was afraid of asking for a huge number, a number they couldn't afford.
If the operation didn't continue because she couldn't pay the points, it would be more painful than killing her.
The two looked at the nurse in front of them anxiously.
The nurse operated the points punching machine and said,
"Level 4 personnel can get 50% medical reimbursement. You originally paid 50 points in advance, but now you only need to pay 25 points. You only have 14 points in your card, which is not enough."
Twenty-five points!
The girl was struck by lightning.
The two of them only had 30 points in total, and now they needed 25 points at once, and it was just the advance payment. It would definitely not be enough later.
Meng Zhi, who came to join in the fun, swallowed his saliva when he heard it. Damn it!
It's so expensive!
Liu Sheng gritted his teeth and said,
"I, Liu Sheng, number 34567, will deduct the insufficient part of their card from mine."
The nurse glanced at him and nodded,
"Okay."
She was about to deduct points when someone suddenly walked over.
"No need to deduct their points. A notice has come from above that someone has been sent to investigate the cause of the accident at the construction site. Hong Fu's treatment fee will be waived."
The nurse stood up quickly after hearing the voice. When she saw that it was Vice Dean Ni Guangkuo,
she nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, Vice Dean."
