Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 148

The old woman was transferred to a private room.

Pei Zhi ran a check on her, uncovering only vague information and her medical records.

Meanwhile, the researchers requested the old woman’s blood sample and hurriedly tested it.

"She was rescued from a village outside the base last night, brought in around 2 AM. Her temperature then was 43 degrees Celsius—that’s the threshold for severe fever," Pei Zhi explained while taking her pulse. "It’s weak, but stable."

"The temperature has dropped to 39," he added.

Pei Zhi performed a light test. The old woman’s pupils responded slowly, yet still within the normal range.

"Grandma, how long have you had a fever?" Pei Zhi asked.

The old woman cupped her cheeks, trying to recall. "I think it started in the morning. The fever worsened by afternoon."

"Do you feel any discomfort now?" Lin Weihao asked after the tests were done.

He watched her closely, his gaze steady. He wanted to ask if she had awakened any powers, but such a question would raise suspicions.

The old woman shook her head. "Rather than discomfort, I feel better than I have in ages. Not to mention, the pain in my back and muscles is gone." She moved her legs, and to her surprise, there was no pain from even the slightest motion.

A flicker of hope rose in Lin Weihao.

"Grandma, please return to the bed," Pei Zhi urged.

"I just wanted to try something…" The old woman attempted to stand without a cane. Though her legs were still wobbly, she managed to stand on her own. "Look at that! At this rate, I could play with the children."

The nurse laughed softly.

Pei Zhi appeared astonished.

The old woman took a few laps around the bed before returning, lost in thought. "Sir, how did I end up here? The last thing I remember is my grandchildren feeding me mushrooms while I had a fever."

At the mention of mushrooms, Lin Weihao felt a strange reaction stir inside him. It must have been because of his wife’s lunch boxes.

Pei Zhi briefly explained the situation, even not hiding the details of the mass fever because they needed her cooperation.

The old woman nodded.

Grateful, Lin Weihao spoke up. "Grandma, if you can give me your family’s details, I’ll have my men search for them. But you’ll need to stay here for a while until we’re sure your fever is truly gone. In the meantime, you can write them a letter."

The old woman smiled brightly. "Thank you so much, kind sir."

Lin Weihao kept his promise and sent someone to fetch her family.

Meanwhile, inside the quarantine room where the villagers were kept, the air was filled with the sounds of crying children.

"Grandma! Grandma!"

"Officers! Officers! Have you seen my mother? Can you tell us how she’s doing?" A man knocked on the window, trying to catch the officers’ attention.

The officer guarding the door remained silent, a stern expression on his face.

Laughter, like tears, is contagious, and in the room full of crying children, emotions were hard to restrain.

The conversation the nurse had with her colleague was sure to have been overheard by the man behind the door’s glass pane. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
