Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Anesthetics
Gu Ci felt much more relieved when Gu Pan said this and hurriedly led them to the infirmary in Entertainnt City.
Upon arrival at the infirmary, they heard Chen Dasheng’s crying. Gu Ci covered her eyes, “Oh my, I forgot about this, Brother Dasheng is terrified of blood… Um, please forgive us.”
Gu Pan was genuinely surprised too. She didn’t expect Chen Dasheng to have such a side, now crying like a two-hundred-pound child.
Seeing them enter the infirmary, instead of feeling embarrassed and stopping his crying, Chen Dasheng cried even more pitifully, “I’m really scared, the bleeding won’t stop, I need stitches, and there’s no anesthesia, it’s going to be sewn raw, might as well kill now, I’m scared to death.”
Gu Pan scratched her head, “Don’t be afraid, Brother Dasheng, we brought anesthesia.”
Hearing about the anesthesia, Doctor Tang let out a sigh of relief, “Really?”
Gu Pan quickly walked over to Doctor Tang and handed over a bag full of dicine from her backpack, “We should have everything you need.”
Chen Dasheng clutched Gu Pan’s clothes, “Sister, you’re my real sister. You truly saved my life.”
Listening to Chen Dasheng’s incoherent words, Gu Pan didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Lu Ruisheng ca over and quickly freed his wife’s clothes, then sacrificed himself, holding Chen Dasheng’s hand, “Does this feel a bit better?”
Chen Dasheng just hugged Lu Ruisheng tightly, “Cover my eyes, don’t let see it, I’m really going to get scared to death.”
Lu Ruisheng had no other choice, it seed that aside from his wife, this was the first ti in adulthood that he hugged soone else, and it was a man no less.
After Doctor Tang administered the local anesthetic to Chen Dasheng and made sure it took effect, he began to suture and bandage the wound.
Gu Pan and Gu Ci chatted with Chen Dasheng to distract him. It didn’t hurt, and he wasn’t allowed to look, so he was feeling much better.
Once the bandaging was done, Doctor Tang gave him a tetanus shot and an anti-inflammatory injection.
Looking at his bandaged foot, Chen Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief, “From now on, my life is yours.”
Lu Ruisheng really didn’t know what to say, “It’s just a minor external injury, it’s not that serious.”
Chen Dasheng shook his head, “No, to , it was really near-fatal; without anesthesia, I think I would’ve died today.”
Others didn’t understand his fear of injury and bleeding. He’d once fainted from shock during a blood test, taking a sample from the fingertip, who could have imagined?
So people might think such a person is being dramatic, but it’s not the case. So people are truly afraid of these things. So can watch while getting an injection, others faint at the sight of a needle. It’s not an overreaction.
Gu Ci and Lu Ruisheng helped Chen Dasheng back to his room, let him lie down on the bed, and then took a seat on stools by his bedside.
Chen Dasheng, now feeling a bit embarrassed, said, “Sorry to have you see like that.”
Gu Pan, holding back laughter, said, “I understand, we’ve got dicine, and you’ll recover quickly.”
“Anesthesia, sister, you getting your hands on this stuff is incredible; I’ve heard even the hospital at the base doesn’t have much left,” Chen Dasheng said admiringly to Gu Pan.
Gu Pan smiled and replied, “We have our ways, don’t worry.”
At that mont, Chen Dasheng’s stomach grumbled twice. He hadn’t eaten breakfast, and the struggle and crying due to his injury had drained his energy. He was indeed hungry now.
Gu Pan took off her backpack and handed Chen Dasheng so homade biscuits, “Eat this for now.” She also handed a pack to Gu Ci. Fortunately, she had made plenty.
Gu Ci initially declined, “I’ve already eaten this morning.”
Gu Pan still placed the biscuits in his hand, “While being quarantined at ho, Ruisheng and I had so free ti and made quite a few.”
Then she took out a bag of milk cereal and a paper cup. She made a cup for Chen Dasheng using the water from a thermos on the table, “Get so nutrients.”
Chen Dasheng took it gratefully, “Sister, you really have lots of good stuff.” Then he looked at Lu Ruisheng and said, “Brother-in-law, you’re so fortunate to have married my sister.”
Lu Ruisheng was puzzled, why was it sotis brother-in-law and sotis brother-in-law? But it didn’t seem like a bad thing. He laughed, “Of course, marrying Panpan is the greatest fortune of my life.”
Gu Ci ate a couple of biscuits, “These biscuits taste just like before the apocalypse.”
Gu Pan laughed, “Far from it. The butter is just past expiration without spoiling, sohow we can still manage to make it.”
Gu Ci sighed, “Indeed, what doesn’t expire nowadays?”
Chen Dasheng’s eyes sparkled with excitent, “But the anesthesia just now was really effective. I didn’t feel a thing. It still works even if it’s expired, it truly saved .”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng couldn’t say much in explanation, after all, they couldn’t reveal the truth about Space, so they just said Chen Dasheng was lucky, and then shifted the topic to discuss the current situation in Entertainnt City.
Talking about it, Gu Ci sighed, “Sigh, we’ve lost so money here recently. You know, most supplies consud here are kept outside. The heavy rain trapped us here, and we’ve been running up IOUs. This has happened before, but back then there were plenty of supplies, so once disasters passed, essentially everyone settled their debts. But this ti, when the rain stopped, many people left and never returned.”
They were all aware of this. Most custors here were from the base, where many people with supplies were hiding. So had returned to the base when the light rain started.
A smaller portion was from outside, and these people usually ca with their own supplies. Perhaps it was a final fling before running out of resources, or maybe they were seeking so fun while here, or perhaps there were bigger organizations from afar, simply here to gather information about the base. In any case, they all had so status.
These outsiders usually had ample supplies, but nearly five years into the apocalypse, their stores were running thin. So, many people who ca didn’t have much left, seeking a way out. Being stuck here, eating and drinking for free then running away wasn’t out of the question.
Gu Pan nodded in understanding, “Many people really don’t have supplies anymore; they co here for what may be their last hurrah. There’s really nothing to be done, which is why we need to tighten the rules from now on.”
“Exactly, I’ve been discussing with Great Saint, and we won’t allow IOUs in Entertainnt City anymore,” Gu Ci said helplessly. Places like this usually relied on personal connections, but now they had no other choice.
Lu Ruisheng also had his thoughts, “I think Entertainnt City could scale down its operations. There are too many mutated creatures nowadays, and food safety is not guaranteed. It’s better to use space and resources for farming and breeding.”
Hearing her husband’s thoughts, Gu Pan agreed, “Indeed, the base analyzed those mutated animals and determined there’s a 30% chance of people developing tumors after consuming them, whether benign or malignant is uncertain, but the likelihood is high. Now that the plants have mutated as well, even though we don’t know the effects on humans from consuming mutated plants, for sure, it’s not beneficial.”
