Chapter 55: Chapter 56. Efficacy of Antibiotics

Living captives can be exchanged for 5 silver coins.

Dead ones are only worth 5 copper.

The four of them worked together, tied up the boy, and threw them together with the dead reindeer on the cart hidden in the corner, and dragged them back to the base.

"Blue clothes! You are from the shelter?!"

No one paid him any attention.

The young man looked horrified as he watched the concrete wall pass overhead and was sent to the granary.

The cart stopped.

Tomorrow and Bunny picked up the reindeer and threw it on the table in front of Scrambled Eggs.

"Brother, pay the wages."

"12 silver."

After counting out the coins, they slapped them on the table with a jingle, Scrambled Eggs pulled out the machete left on the table, and began to chop up large pieces of meat.

The dull sound of the clapping of the blade seemed to be in his heart, and the young man's heart jumped when he heard it.

Never heard of blue coat cannibalism!

"Master Manager? You came just in time, we are planning to bring him to you!"

"Where did you get him?"

"I met it while hunting, and this guy shot me with an arrow, but it missed."

"I see."

He counted five silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Tomorrow. Lucius signaled him to untie the captives on the cart.

Although Tomorrow felt that it was not safe to do so, he was not very worried after seeing the combat effectiveness of the manager, and walked towards the cart with Gale.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, the boy struggled more intensely, but when he saw clearly the person following them, he was stunned for a moment.

"Lucius?"

Names are the pronunciation of this world.

"Well, it's me."

Lucius smiled and stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

"Sorry to offend."

It was none other than Tomorrow and the others who took him back as a prisoner, but Yugin, the second brother of Yuki, his neighbour in Beit Street.

Yugin moved his red wrist, glanced nervously at the blue coats surrounding him, and asked in a low voice.

"Are they all your people?"

Yugin thought this stranger had died outside, but he didn't expect to meet him here again. Yesterday he was still persuading his younger sister not to guard the hut for that foreigner, the door was covered with dust...

"They are my companions."

"What are they doing around here?"

"Watching the plot."

"Plot? What is that?"

"It's not important, just ignore them. Speaking of which, why are you here? Where are your father and elder brother?"

Lucius remembered that whether they were scavenging or hunting, they all acted in groups.

Yugin's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice, "A few days ago, while hunting, my father was wounded in the arm by a predator's gun. In order to save my father, my big brother was bitten by a hyena raised by the predator and injured his leg. After escaping, my father survived, but my big brother's leg wound was infected, and now he have a high fever, so he have been bedridden...it will be winter soon, and I don’t know if we can survive it.”

Hyenas, vultures and jackals, the speculative three musketeers in the wasteland, have no taboos in the choice of food.

Especially the most common hyena in Spring City, when they can't find prey, they often eat carrion, and even bite the predators when they are very hungry, so their fangs are usually full of bacteria.

If bitten by a mutant hyena, if the wound is not treated in time, it is easy to be infected, and it may even be life-threatening in severe cases.

After listening to Yugin's words, Lucius frowned.

Yuki's family treated him well. Although they didn't take special care of him, their youngest daughter Yuki always helped him look after the house, and even stopped the Malcolm family from stealing his house.

"You bring your big brother to me, maybe I can cure him."

Yugin was stunned.

"Really?!"

Lucius nodded.

"Well, you just bring him."

Yugin was moved, and suddenly lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, you are so kind, we were always worried that you were a bad person."

Lucius said tolerantly, "It's okay, it's human nature to be vigilant."

He wasn't exactly a good guy.

"Well, there is something... I have to apologize to you."

"What's up?"

Yugin blushed and hesitated for a long time, then scratched the back of his head and said, "The croissants you planted in front of the door... I don't think they germinated, so I dug them up and ate them."

"..."

So he was that little theif who dug it! But never mind. Just a piece of potato, no big deal.

Lucius said: "It's okay, there must be something wrong with the method."

Yugin nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, you really can't grow anything like that! I dug it out and looked at it, and two pieces were rotten. If you want to grow croissants, cutting into pieces is not enough, you have to germinate first, and one piece has at least two sprouts point, and then smear the incision with plant ash and plant it, so that it will mature in a month or two!"

Lucius looked at him in surprise: "You know how to plant?"

The boy smiled honestly and stroked the back of his head.

"It's nothing, everyone knows a little bit. But usually the mother, sister-in-law and Yuki planted at the door of the house. They basically couldn't survive outside. They were either dug up by people or gnawed by mice."

Lucius said: "Okay, when the next spring begins, I will find something for you to do. Let's not talk about this, you go back and carry your brother back."

Hearing what Lucius said, the young man remembered that his elder brother was still lying on the bed, and nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll go now."

...

The straight-line distance from Wetland Park to Beit Street is about three kilometers. After leaving the park, there are patches of concrete ruins and green plants scattered among the ruins. If you want to avoid the more dangerous areas, you have to detour for at least two kilometers.

However, it took less than two hours for Yugin to run here with his big brother on his back.

Lucius asked Shuri to bring over a piece of fur, put it on the wooden table, and asked Yugin to put his big brother Yudeep on it.

This powerful man was dying at this moment, and his face was pale.

The scavengers on Beit Street have a simple diet, and most of them are malnourished. In addition, they lack effective medical conditions.

Lucius took a brief look at his wound, and preliminarily judged that it was a bacterial infection based on the color of the suppurated wound, so he took an antibiotic that was drawn last time, and then gave him a simple treatment for the wound.

"Is it okay to use plant ash?" Yugin asked nervously.

"Depending on the situation, the plant ash calcined at high temperature is no problem."

The ingredient of this thing is potassium salt, and it contains alkaline, and the bactericidal effect is still good. The Baicao Cream in 'Compendium of Materia Medica' is talking about this thing.

Although the effect is a bit worse than alcohol, it is also a good substitute when there is no high-purity alcohol, especially in the wild.

Of course, this refers to the plant ash calcined at high temperature.

If it is under the stove, it will be a big problem. Who knows if there is tetanus bacilli in it, and a handful of dust can send people away.

About five minutes passed.

Yudeep's complexion obviously improved a lot, his frowning eyebrows relaxed, and his sweating stopped.

Lucius silently wrote it down.

As expected of pre-war technology, the efficacy of this antibiotic is indeed good.

Yugin next to him was not so reserved. Seeing that his elder brother's condition had improved, he immediately jumped up excitedly and held his hand with tears in his eyes.

"Brother! How are you feeling now?"

"Yugin? This, where is it..." Noticing Lucius who was standing beside him, Yudeep, who woke up in a daze, paused, surprise appeared on his weak face.

"...Lucius?"

"It's me."

"you are not……"

"Alive, but probably won't go back."

Yudeep was stunned for a moment, looked at the blue coats around him, and probably understood the situation, with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, it seems that you have found your companions."

"Well, I just found it recently," Lucius said with a faint smile, "I thank you for your attention."

"Don't say that, we didn't take care of it before, but I saved your life... That capsule should be very expensive."

This kind of pill that feels like plastic is a good thing only in Boulder City. He had only heard about it before, but had never seen it before.

Thinking about it, even if it is Boulder City, not everyone can afford it.

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of little effort. I'll give you another one later. If you feel feverish, take it. If you don't have a fever, you don't need it. It's good to save your life later."

Lucius will remember the kindness of others to him, even if it is a piece of cake.

Besides, the pills are precious to them, and to Lucius, they are just a reward for drawing a blind box.

Hearing that Lucius wanted to give him medicine, Yudeep shook his head quickly and said.

"How can that work! You saved my life, how can I accept such a precious thing."

Lucius didn't talk nonsense with him, and stuffed the aluminum foil board cut into small pieces into his brother's hand.

"You take it for your brother, don't let me save him after so much effort, you got infected and died on the way back to him."

Yugin hesitated, but he glanced at the injury on his elder brother's leg, and finally nodded.

"Thank you... I will repay you! When I take my big brother back, I will come to work for you every day!"

"No need, you are the pillar of your family now, and you are the only one who can hunt. What will your family eat if you work for me? If you really want to repay me, you should close this place first, and wait until the spring of next year." Let's talk about something else."

Seeing that Lucius had said so, the two of them didn't refuse any more, but their eyes were full of gratitude, expressing that they would definitely come to repay him when this winter passed.

Bunny, who was watching the plot on the side, pulled Tomorrow, and asked in a low voice that the manager couldn't hear.

"What are they talking about?"

Tomorrow pinched his chin and thought.

"I don't understand, but I made a rough guess."

Walker encouraged him from the sidelines.

"Tell me, maybe you are right."

"Okay, then I'll just talk briefly, it's not necessarily true... That indigenous boy went out hunting to treat his family, but we captured him. The manager recognized him and asked him to bring the seriously ill family member, healed them with medicine from the sanctuary, and then the natives were very moved, saying that we are their friends, and they will probably establish diplomatic relations with us next."

Bunny said in a daze.

"How to establish diplomatic relations?"

Before Tomorrow could speak, Walker patted him on the shoulder and said with a playful smile.

"You're stupid, how do the natives establish diplomatic relations? Of course it's a marriage! It's not an old routine for a chief to marry a daughter or something."

"Damn it? Will our managers sacrifice too much?!"

Gale coughed lightly.

"Don't listen to Walker's nonsense. Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I still prefer the CP of him and the proprietress of the weapon shop."

Tomorrow nodded.

"I can always reach a consensus with Gale. You two should reflect on why your brain waves are always on a different channel from normal people."

Shuri's eyes sparkled, and she whispered excitedly.

"Why does CP have to be the proprietress? Can't it be a young man who knows how to repay his kindness?"

"Damn! Something's wrong with you!"

"Is this game serious?"

"..."

Lucius couldn't listen anymore, pretended not to hear and left.

Speaking of...

The income of the current version of tailoring seems a bit high?

The next version will balance it out.
