After the power was restored, there was another rush. After all the patients were settled and various devices were reconnected, everyone had time to investigate the sudden power outage.
Cheng Jun had just returned from outside. When the power outage began, he was sent by the hospital security captain to inquire about the power supply.
"I asked. The power was out in all the villa areas just now, not just here."
Cheng Jun ran all the way back and took a breath before continuing, "The person in charge of maintenance said that this situation started during heavy rainstorms, and there would be a sudden power outage. After a while, it would recover on its own. They all I’ve checked it many times and can’t find any problems.”
"What's going on? Doesn't the hospital have a separate backup power supply? Why didn't it start up just now!" Dean Dai had never experienced such a large-scale medical accident and almost had a heart attack.
The head nurse on the side said: "Dean, since the power supply became unstable, we have been using backup power supply..."
Dean Dai was stunned, so just now, even the backup power supply had a problem?
He frowned and closed his eyes tiredly.
In this damn apocalypse, even if he is forced to work for a murderer, he is still doing the work of saving people, but in this situation, he is considered a murderer, right?
There are several patients who might still be alive if they had not been put on ventilators early...
Including the emergency room, this power outage directly led to the death of eight patients. After the power was restored, six more people died from the sequelae of the power outage.
While doctors and nurses are busy treating patients, they also have to carry corpses and comfort patients and their families. At the same time, they have to be careful at all times to prevent themselves from being infected.
On the third day, an infected person also appeared in the medical care.
On the fourth and fifth days, the situation became more serious day by day. Half of the doctors and nurses fell down, and there were more and more new patients.
Medical care has been reduced, and the number of patients has doubled. Ren Zhi is already extremely busy.
For later patients, they would simply write their name, gender, and age and stick it on their wrist, and even the medical records would be as simple as just a piece of paper.
I can't control it, I really can't control it.
As soon as Ren Zhi opens his eyes every day, he starts taking people's blood pressure, doing physical examinations, and giving them infusions... until dark. Whether it's a doctor's job or a nurse's job, do whatever you can.
Many family members of patients also volunteer. While taking care of their own families, they also help other patients.
In the face of such an unprecedented disaster, they put aside all their hatred. In fact, in the final analysis, these people who are still alive have no blood feud with Brother Bao's people. Those who really had a grudge were all dead.
There were originally about a thousand residents in the villa area. Including the staff, there were about 2,000 people. Plus the 300 or so people brought by Brother Bao, the total was more than 2,400 people.
There are still 1,600 people who are not infected.
I wonder if half will be left when the plague period ends.
My colleagues who worked together to rescue patients yesterday also fell at their posts today.
Patients died every day, and new patients came in every day. Ren Zhi quickly got used to it and became numb.
Only when you are sleeping do you realize that those painful moans, mournful cries, and desperate roars seem to have been echoing in your ears, so clear and heart-wrenching.
Ren Zhi also thought about whether he should simply sneak out and leave while the defense was empty.
But every time she saw those patients looking at her with hopeful eyes, she couldn't help but tell herself in her heart that if she waited a little longer, she would at least see them off for the last time.
We were originally from two different worlds. If it weren't for the apocalypse, Ren Zhi might never have crossed paths with these people.
But now, their previous connection is deeper than family members.
She will be their mourner.
————————————
Ren Zhi originally thought that such a busy situation would last for a long time, but she did not expect that just one week after the peak number of patients, she would have almost nothing to do.
Because the base is under closed management, people from outside cannot enter and people inside cannot go out. The situation within the base has reached a balance.
The number of patients is no longer increasing, and almost all those who were infected before have died.
Everyone who deserves to get sick will get it, and those who shouldn’t get sick will never get it again.
The disinfection supplies, test reagents and test strips in the hospital were all used up today, and the medicines have long been used up.
For the few patients who are still in the hospital, the only purpose of staying here is to isolate themselves and not to infect others.
Essentially, waiting to die.
The hospital's beds are finally enough, and there are even many empty ones, but patients are still concentrated in the emergency room, and doctors are also gathered there.
Listening to the patient's unconscious moans coming from the bed curtain from time to time, all the doctors were silent and sat in their seats.
The bad-tempered old doctor was still flipping through books with his reading glasses, trying to find some way to alleviate the patient's pain.
But there was no medicine available in the hospital. There were painkillers in Renzhi's space, but she couldn't take them out.
A moment of soft-heartedness can lead to endless troubles and even one's own life. This kind of mistake can only be made once in a previous life.
All she can do is give the patients injections so that they can have a good sleep.
What Ren Zhi didn't know was that a heavy atmosphere had spread from the hospital to the entire base. There is low pressure everywhere in the base.
Finally one day, Ren Zhi came to work in the emergency room in the morning, but was suddenly told: "Go back to the dressing room, you are no longer needed here."
She knew that the last plague patient had died.
Except for two strong dispatched team members, all other infected people were wiped out.
The two people who escaped the disaster also suffered from lifelong problems. Their lung function has been greatly reduced, and they are no longer able to perform heavy physical labor. They can't even walk a few steps without being out of breath.
Passing by the emergency room, it was empty and no one knew where they were.
…
That evening, Ren Zhi finally left the hospital after a long absence.
It's already February, but the temperature is close to 30 degrees Celsius.
The abnormal climate makes the air full of moisture.
Ren Zhi wondered in a daze, whether it was because of the high temperature that the virus lost good conditions for transmission, and the plague ended?
But the answer to this question no longer matters.
After taking a breath of fresh air, Ren Zhi identified the direction and finally recalled where his residence was.
After Brother Bao's redistribution, single-family villas have their own uses, or people living in Brother Bao, most of the aborigines are crowded into townhouses.
But walking all the way back to the villa, almost all the houses I passed on the road were quiet, as if no one lived there.
At first, people were afraid of contagion. Later, they found that no protection was effective, so people no longer deliberately kept their distance. However, the death of relatives and friends made people unable to muster the energy to socialize. In addition to working, they stayed at home.
Too many people have died recently, and no funerals can be held. The corpses are all burned. Every household hangs a white cloth at the door and walks through it, as if walking in a cemetery.
…
When Ren Zhi opened the door and entered the house, he happened to see Qingqing and Zhuo Peng going out.
Everyone was stunned.
Ren Zhi hasn't been back for a long time, and Qingqing almost forgot that she also lived here.
