Chapter 72

Fever and coma are not trivial in a war-torn Northwest African country like Tomanca. The initial symptoms of many deadly infectious diseases are fever and coma.Shao Fei was not in the camp that day, and led some special forces, scouts, and peacekeepers from the United States and Russia to the largest city in Tomanca to control an anti-government demonstration in the local area.

It is said to be a parade, but in fact it is not much different from an armed riot.The interim government of Tomanca could not control the situation at all, so it requested the assistance of the peacekeeping force.When the infantry fighting vehicle arrived at the destination, Shao Fei frowned tightly and clenched his back teeth tightly.

He has never seen such a chaotic scene - countless people in rags holding various weapons, including homemade earthen guns, stolen or robbed AK47s, long machetes full of rust, and extremely inferior ones at first glance. Hand-held rockets, and unknown farm tools.These people, old and young, ran wildly on the street, shouted, even danced and sang. There were many children in the team, some of whom did not have any fabric on their bodies, both boys and girls.They waved the tools in their hands high, and some smashed machetes and shovels with a scalp-numbing sound.Seen from a close distance, these civilians do not look like demonstrators expressing demands, they are clearly brainwashed cult members.

Before the peacekeeping forces from the three countries arrived, dozens of businessmen and government officials had been killed. Their remains—if the stumps can be counted as remains—were piled up like trophies, surrounded by people with weapons Singing and dancing, it seems that what is surrounded is not human flesh and blood, but a pile of burning fire.

Because of the large number of people, it is impossible for the peacekeeping forces to arrest all those involved in the killing. They can only prevent the situation from deteriorating further and rescue more innocent people.

But who are the innocents in such a country?

Like other peacekeepers, Shao Fei has no energy to think about similar issues.Trapped in the army of demonstrators, every bullet he shoots can kill people, and sometimes he even wants to blow the heads of these mobs, but his sanity is still there, the blue helmet representing peace on his head is still there, and the national flag on his arm is still there , he must remain calm.

It was very laborious to safely disperse thousands of civilians. Standing on the infantry fighting vehicle, Shao Fei felt that they were like waves of zombies.No, they are more dangerous than zombies.Zombies will only rush up to eat them, and a headshot is enough. These people have guns and rocket launchers, and their guns are always pointed at the heads of the peacekeepers.

The turmoil lasted from afternoon to night. Hundreds of civilians died, most of whom were "manslaughter" by their own people. An officer of the Russian peacekeeping force died, and members of China and the United States were also injured.

Shao Fei had a brain hemorrhage in the back of his head—he was hit by a black youth with a stone.This injury should be put in the past, it will attract ridicule, Ai Xin will hug his shoulder and laugh: "Airplane, aeroplane, don't say you are a special soldier of our Falcon, even a stone can smash you out of it. I'm afraid the political commissar will despise you and make you ashamed!"

But now no one is in the mood to make such a joke. Shao Fei was unable to dodge because he saved a Russian soldier, and he got that blow on the back of his head.Under the circumstances at that time, if Shao Fei hadn't acted, the number of victims of the peacekeeping force today would have risen to two.

The injury was not serious, but there was a lot of blood. Shao Fei was dizzy and had tinnitus.More than a dozen soldiers in the team were injured to varying degrees. The military doctor meant to take a rest overnight and go back after dawn.It has been almost a month since I came to Tomanca, and everyone knows that there are dangers everywhere, not to mention the night, even the daytime may be attacked at any time, it is not safe to go back overnight, and it is not conducive to the recovery of the injured.

It is up to Shao Fei to decide whether to go back or not.

Shao Fei covered his head and thought for a while, and finally decided to go back.

The military doctor's consideration was not unreasonable, but because an attack could happen at any time, they had to go back.

After receiving the mission, Xiao Muting discussed with Ye Chao and dispatched the most elite combat force of the infantry unit.Shao Fei led the team to leave in the morning. If he didn't rush back as quickly as possible, the consequences would be disastrous if any armed forces launched a surprise attack on the Chinese battalion.

After making a decision, Shao Fei still called Xiao Muting.The local signal was extremely poor, Shao Fei could only hear what Xiao Muting said was good, but couldn't tell what was wrong with the voice.

It wasn't until they rushed back before dawn that they found out that Xiao Muting had been sent to the medical unit.

Shao Fei was terrified, and rushed over before he had time to change the medicine for the wound on his head.His footsteps were trembling, and fear was like a stone paving the way forward, tripping him up and down a few steps.My mind was empty, and it seemed to be filled with something. I didn't dare to think about what to do if something happened to the captain, and I didn't even dare to think whether the captain was experiencing pain now.

Xiao Muting was in the isolation ward, and three male medical staff blocked Shao Fei from the door.But the body of Shao Fei's special forces, how could they block it.

At the critical moment, Ye Chao pulled him back, his eyes were hard to see, "Go back, don't make trouble here!"

What is adding to the chaos?Shao Fei's eyes were red, he looked at Ye Chao blankly, his dry lips moved, and he said dumbly: "I didn't make any trouble! Ye Ying, what happened to the captain? He was fine when I reported the situation to him at night. , How did you suddenly become unconscious? Did something happen in the camp at night?"

Ye Chao saw that he was panicked and at a loss, completely lost the calmness and composure he had when leading the team, his heart sank, and he slowed down his tone: "Go and treat the injury on your head first, then eat something to replenish your strength. Team Xiao’s situation has not yet been determined, the doctors are consulting inside, and domestic experts will provide help at any time. It’s useless for you to go in, but Team Xiao is worried.”

After Ye Chao finished speaking, he called Ling Yan, and lightly pushed Shao Fei's shoulder, "Go, I'm here to guard."

Shao Fei seemed less panicked, but his whole body was still tense.

In his eyes, Xiao Muting was an existence that would never fall down. Now that he hadn't seen him for a day, he was lying unconscious in the isolation ward.

He can't take it.

Ling Yan didn't say too many comforting words, and called him meals, and asked the nurse to help treat the wound.It was very painful when he took the medicine, and a piece of his hair was shaved to avoid infection. He endured it without saying a word, but suddenly cried while eating.

Ling Yan sat quietly at the side without asking why.

After a while, he choked up and said, "When I was sick, the captain carried me to the infirmary, cooked me meals, and stayed with me. Now that he is lying in there, I can't help him with anything, even what is his condition now. have no idea!"

Ling Yan sighed softly, knowing that no words could comfort him, so he simply continued to remain silent.

Shao Fei wiped away his tears in a hurry, and ate with big mouthfuls——Xiao Muting told him that when the task is in hand, he must eat when he can eat, because if there is something that must be done, the physical strength cannot keep up, and the scourge is getting along day and night comrades.

he remembers.He remembered every word Xiao Muting said.

In fact, he is not completely ignorant of Xiao Muting's condition.I have heard from the medical staff that it is fever, coma, accompanied by intermittent convulsions and swelling all over the body.

Before departure, I learned about many highly lethal infectious diseases in Africa, many of which have similar symptoms, such as malaria.

According to China's medical technology, malaria has not been an insurmountable difficulty for a long time. As long as it is treated in time, there is basically no problem.But Shao Fei didn't want Xiao Muting to suffer that kind of crime, and his heart ached unbearably when he thought about it.

As for other infectious diseases, Shao Fei didn't even want to think about it.

After taking care of himself, he came to the isolation ward again. His emotions were not as agitated as before, but his tension and fear did not decrease.

There were medical staff coming in and out of the ward one after another. Ye Chao pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "I've had blood tests, and no known pathogens were found, so it shouldn't be an infectious disease. The doctor said that Team Xiao might have been bitten by a gram worm." .”

"What is that?" Shao Fei's heart tightened, "Poisonous insect?"

"Well, it's a relatively common bug in Northwest Africa. It's a bit like a spider, but it can fly." Ye Chao said: "It's highly poisonous, and people will experience symptoms such as coma and convulsions after being bitten."

Shao Fei's hands were shaking: "Someone, did anyone die from the bite?"

"Yes, but not many." Ye Chao looked towards the ward, "It varies from person to person, and the situation of Team Xiao is gradually improving. Wait a while, and if the fever subsides and everyone is awake, you can go in and have a look. To see him."

Shao Fei waited every step of the way until the evening when Xiao Muting woke up from his lethargy.

The doctor has confirmed that he was indeed injured by gram worms. After taking the medicine, the high fever gradually subsided, and the swelling also gradually eased. When Shao Fei saw him, he was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking water, his face was paler than usual. It looked much weaker, but compared with ordinary patients, it was still a bit more awe-inspiring.

"Captain!" As soon as the voice came out, tears fell, Shao Fei ran to the bedside, almost pounced on him, grabbed Xiao Muting's non-infused hand, and stuck it to his face without thinking.

"It's okay." Xiao Muting knew that he was worried, and gently stroked his hair, wanting to say a few words of comfort, when he suddenly touched the gauze on the back of his head, his brows tightened: "Are you hurt?"

"Small injury." Shao Fei raised his head, "Captain, you scared me to death!"

Xiao Muting sighed softly.From the moment Shao Fei rushed in, his heart felt as if someone had hit him. Although his whole body was weak, he still wanted to hug this guy who was thinking of him wholeheartedly.

Hearing Shao Fei say "You scared me to death", I felt very uncomfortable, I blamed myself, but also worried, just now Shao Fei took his hand and put it on his face, he was also touched.

The nurse shouted at the door: "Don't stay too long, Captain Xiao just woke up and needs to rest."

Shao Fei hurriedly lowered his voice, but did not let go of Xiao Muting's hand, "Captain, are you feeling uncomfortable? When did you find something wrong? When I called you last night, you were fine. How did you feel before you fell into a coma? Didn't you It hurts?"

"It's not uncomfortable anymore, it's just that I don't have much strength." Xiao Muting actually felt uncomfortable last night. When he was on the phone, his whole body felt cold and he was sweating profusely. It's not really painful, but the feeling of chills and fever to the bones is worse than pain Tolerate.

But there is no need for Shao Fei to know about these.

"Can you eat? I'll call." Shao Fei asked.

Before Xiao Muting could answer, the nurse had already shouted: "Team Xiao can't eat now, and will start to eat liquid food tomorrow. The vegetable oil and salt our cooking team cooks is too heavy. Brother, remember, we will cook porridge for Team Xiao alone tomorrow."

Shao Fei got the order and immediately stood up: "Put it on me!"

Xiao Muting smiled: "What's on you, you don't have a task tomorrow?"

"It's my turn to rest." Shao Fei said, "You and Ye Ying decided to rest in line."

Xiao Muting knew that Shao Fei's rare vacation was going to be scrapped, and also knew that it was impossible to persuade him not to accompany him. The feeling of being cared for was very warm, but it also aroused some guilt.

In this way, the eyes looking at Shao Fei sank a little.

Shao Fei thought he was going to refuse, and immediately said: "Captain, you can't drive me away, I'm an orderly, I have an obligation..."

"I told you that Team Xiao needs to rest, why are you yelling?" The nurse came again, "Orders, right? Hurry up and boil water, wipe Team Xiao's body, by the way, bring some more clothes, and come out So much sweat, you have to change!"
