Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 224 Yan Qian Wakes Up

Fortunately, Yan Qian recovered well and was not jostled on the way back, so the wound did not reopen. Dr. Liu simply applied a large amount of ointment and then re-bandaged the wound.

However, to avoid complications such as wound infection, Dr. Liu still suggested that Zhou Yang give Yan Qian some anti-inflammatory medication if possible.

After seeing the patient, Dr. Liu took his leave.

However, before leaving, Zhou Yang and his companions gave Dr. Liu some supplies as payment for the consultation.

Dr. Liu didn't refuse and happily took the supplies and left.

After Dr. Liu left, Zhou Yang immediately took out a box of anti-inflammatory medicine from his spatial storage.

Having asked Dr. Liu about the dosage beforehand, I simply picked out two pills.

Then he took out a small cup of spring water from his spatial storage, peeled off the capsule of the anti-inflammatory medicine, and dissolved the medicine inside into the spring water.

Yan Qian is definitely not in a condition where he can take medicine; the only way is to force-feed him.

So Zhou Yang had no choice but to do it this way.

However, it was not appropriate for him to administer the medicine, so after preparing the medicine, Zhou Yang simply handed the blanket to Yan Fei.

"You should give your brother the anti-inflammatory medicine."

"Ah."

Yan Fei responded, took the cup, walked to the bedside, slightly lifted Yan Qian's head, and began to administer the medicine.

But the person was unconscious and couldn't even open their mouth. Not only did the medicine not get in, it also flowed down their neck from the corner of their mouth.

With no other option, Yan Fei had to forcefully pry open his older brother's mouth to force the medicine down his throat.

Seeing Yan Fei's simple and crude actions, Zhou Yang felt sorry for Yan Qian.

After everyone had drunk the cup of spring water and the anti-inflammatory medicine, they finally relaxed. Afterwards, Zhou Yang and the others planned to go back and tidy themselves up.

After such a fierce battle, they were covered in dust, sweat, and the remnants of sea monsters, and they smelled terrible.

Yan Fei, in particular, even went inside the giant octopus's brain, and still feels sticky and uncomfortable.

So they urgently needed to go back, take a shower, and tidy themselves up.

So the group temporarily handed Yan Qian over to his deputy, instructing him to send someone to Baijishan's team to find Yan Qian if he woke up.

After giving his deputy a few more instructions, he went straight back to his lodgings.

As soon as I entered the house, I took a nice, long shower and changed my clothes.

By the time everyone had finished washing up and came out, their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

So Zhou Yang took out a table and chairs from his spatial storage and set one up in the room to satisfy everyone's hunger.

As for the mutated seafood they had collected before, they now felt nauseous just looking at it, so Zhou Yang didn't touch it. Anyway, it wouldn't spoil in the cellar, and they could eat it later when they returned to the Baijishan base.

Looking at the table full of hot and fragrant food, the group couldn't help but swallow. However, adhering to the principle of "the parents should eat first," the other seven only began to wolf down their food after Zhou Yang took his first bite.

In less than twenty minutes, the entire meal was devoured, leaving everyone with round bellies, and even Xu Qingtang was so full she couldn't stand up.

The group sat for a long time before Ge You, who had been lying down, got up to clean up the mess.

After eating and drinking my fill, I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

However, Yan Qian's deputy did not send anyone over, and the group, thinking that Yan Qian was still unconscious, lost their will to rest.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Zechuan told Lu Yanwen and Xu Qingtang to stay here with Chi Feng and Yu Hui until Bai Jishan's people returned and to see what arrangements Bai Jishan would make. The other four of them went to the capital base team to keep an eye on Yan Qian.

Although Yan Qian's deputy should be trustworthy, it would be more reassuring for them to keep an eye on things themselves, so that they could intervene promptly if anything went wrong.

When Zhou Yang and the other three arrived, Yan Qian, the deputy, was diligently guarding the small room, and occasionally dealing with matters within the team.

Yan Qian is currently unconscious, so the matter concerning the team at the capital base naturally falls to him, the deputy captain.

Seeing Yan Fei and the other three arrive, the deputy captain finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up, saying, "Young Master Yan, why don't you take a look at the major general first? I need to go out and comfort the wounded in the team, and then distribute the rewards and compensation..."

Yan Fei nodded without objection: "Okay, go ahead." After saying that, he directly took over the position of vice captain and sat down by Yan Qian's bed.

The vice-captain nodded, quickly walked out, and closed the door behind him.

After the vice-captain left, Zhou Yang took out three folding chairs and placed them aside. He, Shen Zechuan, and Lu Xingye sat down behind Yan Fei in turn.

The four of them kept watch until almost 2 p.m.

Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan were still quite energetic, exchanging a few words every now and then, while Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye were so sleepy that they wanted to doze off.

On the single bed, Yan Qian felt like he had slept for a very long time. When he regained consciousness, he felt intense pain coming from all over his body. It wasn't just his body that hurt; his back hurt, and even his mouth and chin hurt a little...

Yan Qian struggled for a moment before opening his eyes. Looking at the gray ceiling, he almost thought he had entered a hospital. Only after he came to his senses did he remember that it was the small room he had stayed in for two days.

He vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, his abdomen was pierced by the tentacles of a mutated octopus, so was he saved?

Yan Qian was a little unsure, but after glancing at the back of his younger brother sitting next to him, he felt reassured.

It seems I have indeed been rescued, and the giant octopus should have been dealt with as well.

Yan Fei had turned his back to Shen Zechuan to discuss the next steps, so he didn't immediately notice that Yan Qian had woken up.

While Shen Zechuan was listening to Yan Fei's words and pondering, he glanced at the head of the bed and saw that Yan Qian had already opened his eyes, so he quickly interrupted Yan Fei.

"Your older brother is awake!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei immediately stopped talking and subconsciously turned around to look. Sure enough, he saw that Yan Qian had woken up and was staring blankly in their direction.

"Big brother, you're awake?!"

"Hmm. Ugh..." Yan Qian nodded, and just as he was about to try to move, he aggravated the wound on his abdomen and let out a muffled groan.

"Don't move for now. Although your wounds have been treated by a healing-type ability user, it only repaired most of your internal organs. The external wounds only look like they've healed a bit, but they're still very easy to reopen. So for now, you can only rest in bed. Don't worry about things outside for the time being; your vice-captain will handle it!"

"..."

Yan Qian paused for a moment, then didn't move. He glanced at Yan Fei and asked, "Can I eat? I feel quite hungry and a little thirsty..."

Yan Fei was speechless: "..."

They honestly don't remember asking that question...

So Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan went out again and asked Dr. Liu about it.

Dr. Liu slapped his forehead, blaming himself for forgetting to explain the diet, and quickly informed the two of them one by one.

Before the apocalypse, one definitely couldn't eat, but now Yan Qian is a superhuman with a recovery speed several times faster than ordinary people, so eating shouldn't be a problem.

However, just in case, it's best to eat only easily digestible and light liquid foods, and not to eat too much.

After consulting with Dr. Liu, Zhou Yang had a clear understanding of the situation.
