Chapter 003: The Rose Virus

Each person should receive a standard antipyretic injection, and then they should be advised to transfer to another hospital immediately

After the hospital made the decision, several medical staff quickly brought a stretcher bed to transfer the female patient onto it

The fever department in all hospitals is classified as an emergency; a single misstep can lead to fatalities. Private hospitals are particularly wary of inexplicable fevers, especially when everyone suddenly presents with the same condition

Ladies, there are over ten cases of fever patients downstairs. Do not linger, Doctors Li and Yang are overwhelmed. Hurry down to assist!

42.5 degrees

Collect more than five of these beads and you will gain a mysterious power by swallowing them all at once. In this disaster, as medical personnel, you will be in greater danger than ordinary people, but at the same time, you will have more opportunities to survive than ordinary people. Good luck

Could it be her

After purchasing a large quantity of bottled water and convenience food from the supermarket, when he took a taxi, the female driver frowned at him, a long-haired man with a guitar who walked with a limp. Used to such disdainful looks, Yuntu paid no attention.

Why did you suddenly develop a fever? Look, there are spots on your face!

... ...

Rose virus, with an incubation period of 0 to 7 days, causes patients to develop red spots resembling rose petals on their faces after the onset of the disease, hence the name. It is characterized by a persistent high fever exceeding 42 degrees Celsius, and more than half of the patients may die within 4 to 24 hours.

If the memory of the cloud map is not mistaken, at 6:30 PM, the first black-spotted zombie in this city will appear at the People's Hospital. After breaking free from the hospital's control, it will bite and kill dozens of people along the street before being shot dead by the special police using heavy equipment

First, let my wife take a look, it's burning badly!

The hospital is only this big, with just over ten beds and only a few doctors. It is of no use for everyone to gather here, especially since this is a new epidemic. The health bureau has not yet determined whether it is contagious. If we stay at Yaxin Hospital and treatment is delayed, we cannot take responsibility for that

After returning to Yaxin Hospital, while Fengling was busy with other matters, Qingyi quietly took out the note that Yuntu had left for him from his bag, only to find a nonsensical passage on it with no context whatsoever

The crux of the matter is how he knew that so many fever patients would come to the hospital today, and that they would have spots on their faces. Should the note be submitted to Director Liu?" Qingyi asked cautiously

Qingyi is not a doctor, but merely an intern nurse. The doctor sees patients in a queue, and for those who have not yet been seen, she first distributes a thermometer to each person to measure their temperature. This helps to save the attending physician's diagnostic time

Time is a bit tight, but there is still time for everything

In Qingyi's impression, she had worked in this hospital for nearly half a year, and most of the hospital's beds were usually empty. However, after sending away dozens of patients today, the hospital's beds were still fully occupied

After a little over ten minutes, Director Liu hurriedly arrived from home, quickly made a decision after inspecting each hospital bed, and immediately called the health bureau to report.

What does it mean

The number of people in hospitals suffering from colds and fevers due to getting caught in the rain is increasing, and soon this phenomenon will attract the attention of health departments and news reporters from major radio stations, leading to imminent chaos in the world

Had he recognized that she was his junior sister deliberately playing a prank on him? Just as Qingyi was filled with doubt, the phone on the workbench rang. He picked up the receiver, and the voice of Nurse Liu came through, sounding like a broken loudspeaker.

Are all the thermometers broken

The first batch of patients has just been assigned beds and started on intravenous drips, while outside, family members continue to bring in new patients.

Returning to the dilapidated rental apartment, Yuntu changed into a black trench coat and put on a pair of sunglasses. The once disheveled and artistically inclined vagabond singer quickly took on the appearance of a gangster.

What had once been a relatively easy job suddenly became busy, and Qingyi had forgotten about the note. However, as time went on, after taking the patients' temperatures during the third round of rounds, she had to seriously take out the note and read it again, as she noticed that the shape of the rash on the patient's face increasingly resembled rose petals.

The ringtone of the mobile company's system is very pleasant! However, the two girls are so angry that their teeth are grinding!

In the injection room, there are approximately thirty to forty patients. In front of one chair, a middle-aged man, around thirty years old, is feeding his wife, who is in a state of confusion, with a bowl of congee, one spoonful at a time. The female patient, dressed in a white shirt, has a flushed face, with each cheek displaying a rose-shaped patch that has deepened to a purplish hue.

After the phone rang three times with a "ding-ding-ding," it turned into a busy tone, clearly indicating that the other party had hung up!

Standing at the entrance of a supermarket in the Hongda Business District, looking up at the gloomy face of the heavens after the blood rain, Yuntu realized that the world had changed, although most people had not yet felt it at this moment

... ...

Upon witnessing this situation, Yun Tu was already 80% certain. In order to further lock onto the target, he pretended to be a family member of the patient, leisurely following behind the woman's husband...

After hanging up the phone with Sister Liu, Qingyi quickly put away the inexplicable note and hurried downstairs

The first blood rain of the apocalypse was merely the precursor to three consecutive days of blood rain. Although it arrived suddenly and violently, it did not last long, ending in about two hours. However, even though the blood rain had ceased, the transparency of the air seemed to have diminished further, and the dark red clouds in the sky hung lower, as if the entire world had been shrouded in darkness ahead of time

At temperatures above 42 degrees, the patients have long been delirious, but in the age of communication, information spreads very quickly. Some of the patients' families have already learned that the sudden outbreak of fever caused by this blood rain has resulted in too many patients, and public hospitals simply cannot accommodate them. Those who can secure a spot in private hospitals are certainly unwilling to leave.

As a thermometer was retrieved, while recording the values, Qingyi felt a tremor in her heart, even doubting whether the thermometers had all malfunctioned at once. Typically, she would encounter only one or two patients with such high fevers in a month, yet now suddenly more than a dozen had appeared.

This fellow can't be just trying to be mysterious! What he said is quite frightening... After she finished reading the contents of the note and fully processed it, her expression became serious.

The apocalypse is a dark game, and it is also a maze. How it begins and how it will end remains uncertain. Yuntu hopes that in this rebirth, he will live to see the day when the mystery is unveiled

... ...

Sister Wind Chime, please come and help me take a look

Yaxin Hospital is a private hospital, with a total of only ten doctors including the owner, Dr. Liu Da. Together with nurses, pharmacy staff, cleaners, and security personnel, the total number of staff in both the day and night shifts is less than thirty. The doctors often take on multiple specialties, and the nurses generally do not have specific roles, rushing to wherever they are needed.

The incident occurred suddenly, and the previously quiet Yaxin Hospital was thrown into disarray by the unexpected surge of over ten cases of fever emergencies.

The phone you dialed is turned off, please try again later

The rose virus, named for its reddish spots resembling rose petals

Sister is so busy that she is dizzy, yet you still have the mood to read love letters here. You must really be enchanted by that guy! Feng Ling was quite angry to see Qing Yi hiding behind the nurse's station, flipping through the notes in her bag.

Patients who have not mutated into zombies can have their mouths pried open within a few hours after death, and there is a chance of obtaining a bead that is a bright pink color resembling a jelly bean

43.6 degrees

Is it merely a prank

Although she said this, the nature of women is to enjoy peeking into others' secrets, yet Fengling still took the note

In order to calm the situation, shortly after, the hospital leadership and the attending physician rushed over, holding a large stack of reports. After conducting a series of visual examinations on-site, they explained: "You have seen today's situation; it is not just one case of patients in this condition. All the experts in the hospital are working together to find a solution. It is estimated to be a new type of viral infection. Let's first send the particularly severe cases to the intensive care unit and use physical methods to lower their body temperature."

Please help me take a look at my son

39.8 degrees

"I heard it secretly while still in school, but I don't know if the number has expired?" Qingyi blushed as she pulled out the number for Yuntu from her phone

Are the doctors at your hospital all incompetent? A fever over 40 degrees Celsius has not been controlled for half a day, and all they know is to administer intravenous fluids. If this fever continues, the patient's brain will be damaged! After the fourth bottle of intravenous fluids is finished, I touch my wife's face and it is still burning hot. The anxious husband finally loses control of his emotions and starts to confront the nurses in the injection room.

This time, Qingyi did not hold back and directly handed the note to Fengling

44.1 degrees

After reading the note again, the kind-hearted girl was already beside herself. Private hospitals generally do not accept patients with serious illnesses. Having worked in the hospital for six months, she had never seen a dead person. Now, she urgently needed someone to bolster her courage

Someone took the lead, and soon the other family members became emotionally agitated as well

Director Liu, while earnestly persuading, also signaled to the only security guard in the hospital. Together, they managed to push and pull, successfully persuading all the patients who had not yet been assigned a bed to leave.

The phone rang, and upon seeing an unfamiliar number, I hung up without a second thought. I glanced at the time and then turned off the phone

... ...

His time is precious; being reborn is not easy. He must seize the opportunity and act swiftly.

In the lobby of the People's Hospital, patients and their families waiting to register for consultations formed a long queue. Behind the cover of black sunglasses, the eyes of Yuntu gleamed coldly as they scanned the faces of everyone, confirming that these individuals were temporarily safe. Without a moment's pause, he headed straight for the injection room of the fever clinic

I am so busy that I am dizzy; who has the time to take care of your family's trivial matters

Television news generally does not feature overly terrifying scenes. The report regarding the first zombie in the previous life was merely narrated by the host without any on-site video, thus the cloud map cannot make a judgment based on the patient's facial features

If one can survive this high fever, when the red spots on the face turn into black spots, fangs will grow from the mouth, transforming into a bloodthirsty zombie

With so many patients, you in the hospital cannot just drive them away like this

In order to transfer to another hospital, one must first reduce the fever before leaving! I have heard that the People's Hospital is also overcrowded, with patients lining up in long queues!

"Don't rush, this matter is a bit strange. Do you have that kid's phone number?" Feng Ling's thoughts are clearly more mature than Qing Yi's

Even the health bureau has not defined the epidemic, how does a wandering singer know about it? According to the paper, more than half of these patients will soon die, while the others who do not die will turn into even more terrifying zombies, isn't that too frightening!

... ...

This is not acceptable; it is impossible to ascertain the situation. After receiving dozens of cases of the same patient within an hour, the attending physician could no longer bear it and directly called Director Liu.

Qingyi knew that her number was just a stranger's number in the other person's phone, but having the call hung up in front of her best friend was quite embarrassing. Gritting her teeth, she dialed again.

He is both a doctor and a major shareholder of the hospital. Under normal circumstances, he would be eager for the hospital's business to suddenly improve, but in today's unexpected situation, even with his wealth, he does not dare to profit. His intuition tells him that this will be a widespread pandemic.
