Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Take Precautions
After cleaning, applying antidote ointment, and bandaging the wounds, Yao Ran said, “I have cleaned the wound and applied medicine to prevent poisoning. However, Grandpa Quan is old and weak. He may still have a fever for another day, but I will give you anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, and antidote.”

“Give Grandpa Quan one pill for each medicine twice a day and feed him more water to avoid dehydration. If there is alcohol at home, you can wipe his body with alcohol to reduce his fever faster.”

After giving out instructions on how to take care of Grandpa Quan, Yao Ran packed up her things and prepared to leave.

However, before taking a step, she stopped again and added, “If his condition worsens, find me as soon as possible.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Grandma Quan quickly opened a drawer and took out two jade bangles. With a grateful smile on her pale lips, she handed them to Yao Ran.

Grandma Quan said, with tears in her eyes, “Miss Yao, thank you for risking your life to come here and save my husband. These jade bangles are payment for the medicines and for your help today. If it is not enough, I will try to collect more and send them to you later.”

Yao Ran took the jade bangles and nodded, “This is enough.”

After Yao Ran said that, Grandma Quan breathed a sigh of relief and escorted her out.

Before she left, Quan Yuanwei gave her a pack of instant noodles and said, “Miss Yao, this is the payment for the acupuncture treatment.”

Yao Ran remembered that they had not given her payment before, so she accepted it.

Quan Yuanwei then took the torch and added, “Miss Yao, I will take you back.”

Before he could light the torch, Yao Ran stopped him. “No need to send me back.”

With these words, Yao Ran left with two jade bangles and a pack of instant noodles. When she reached the 20th floor, she saw Huang Qian and Jia Xiang mopping the floor.

Jia Xiang saw the medicine box in her hand and asked, “Have you gone out to see a patient?”

Yao Ran nodded, “Grandpa Quan was bitten by a poisonous moth just now, and his grandson came to invite me to treat him.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Qian sighed, “It’s really hard to survive now. When I went out to check the situation outside this morning, I heard that many people had died since yesterday. A family living on the 10th floor was attacked by poisonous moths while sleeping. The whole family was wiped out in one night.”

He lowered his voice and continued, “When Lu Hong and others inspected Building 3, they found that the corpses bitten by the poisonous moths were covered with black and red mottled patterns, similar to the wings of poisonous moths.”

“The bodies swelled, and when they tripled in size, the flesh split along the patterns. I even witnessed one of the bodies explode and turn into dark red liquid mixed with rotten flesh. The pungent smell nearly killed me on the spot.”

Watching Huang Qian shudder as he recalled the bloody scene, Yao Ran’s eyes darkened. The lack of fuel and humid air are the main problems in dealing with poisonous moths. As the heavy rain continues, it will be difficult for humans to kill poisonous moths with fire.

‘I wonder what the military will do to address this issue.’

She thought for a while and asked, “Has the military released any information regarding what they will do to deal with this poisonous moth outbreak?”

Jia Xiang shook her head, “Not yet. The last news we got from the military was how to deal with poisonous moths. The poisonous moth arrived so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. There may be many casualties on the military side.”

After she finished speaking, Huang Qian’s eyes dimmed. Yao Ran observed their expressions and noticed that their care for the soldiers went beyond ordinary citizens. Based on her observations so far, Yao Ran has a guess in her heart, but she didn’t say anything.

After chatting for a while with Huang Qian and Jia Xiang, Yao Ran went home, took a few bottles of insecticide, three sets of protective clothing, and masks from her space, and then went out to give them to Jia Xiang and Huang Qian.

“You should wear this when you go out. The smell emitted by poisonous moths can cause dizziness and nausea. I don’t know what effect they have on the human body, but it’s better to take precautions.”

Huang Qian took them and smiled gratefully at Yao Ran. “Thank you, Yao Ran. I really need these.”

“When Captain asked me to explore the situation outside, I always felt dizzy and wanted to vomit when I came back. With this respiratory mask, I finally don’t have to hold my breath when I go out.”

Yao Ran nodded at him and said, “You’d better not go out too often. This morning, I noticed that the size of the poisonous moths had almost doubled. It seems that the colder the temperature, the stronger the will be.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Qian and Jia Xiang’s expressions became solemn. The two were silent for a moment and said, “Alright.”

After bidding farewell to them, Yao Ran returned home. She locked the three metal doors, went into her space to take a shower, and then sprayed herself with disinfectant.

After leaving the space, Yao Ran took out the flashlight and walked to the balcony. Through the three layers of glass, she observed the poisonous moths covering the outer layer of glass.

After observing them for a while, Yao Ran turned to look at the glass jar on the low table. She had trapped the poisonous moths in the glass jar for almost two days, but they still looked very energetic.

Yao Ran observed the poisonous moths inside the glass jar for half an hour, then put away the flashlight and started her daily training.
