Chapter 107: Injured, Sick
The pungent smell in the air stung her nose and made her dizzy. Seeing that several moths were still alive, Yao Ran reacted quickly and put them into the glass jar before they could regain their strength.
Unlike the dark red liquid, the moths emit an indescribable odor. It's not exactly a stench, but it's certainly not pleasant and can cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting if you smell it for too long.
After Yao Ran sealed all the live moths in a glass jar, she removed her protective clothing and collected the dark red liquid on the floor for samples. By accident, her finger touched the moth's remaining stingers in the pool of dark red liquid.
Yao Ran looked at her index finger and saw that it suddenly became red and swollen, followed by numbness. In just a few seconds, the swelling had spread to her wrist.
Looking at her left hand, which looked like a pig's trotter, Yao Ran decisively took out a military knife from her space and cut open the swollen area to let the poisonous blood flow out.
What came out of the swelling was not red blood but black blood, which smelled particularly bad.
Yao Ran calmly pressed the swelling area to drain out all the black blood. Then, she cleaned the wound and applied detoxification ointment before bandaging it.
When she was done, she sat on the sofa and observed her left hand. Half an hour later, the feeling in her left hand returned a little bit, and the swelling was reduced by half. Yao Ran then went to her bedroom and opened the medicine box.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She took out her surgical kits, sterilized the wound and surgical tools, and then sutured the wound without anesthesia. She only felt slight pain because the numbness in her hands was still there.
When she was done, she sterilized the surgical tools and returned the medicine box to the bedside table.
Yao Ran did not object to his suggestion and said, "Alright."
After Yao Ran returned home, she entered the space and took off her protective clothing and respiratory mask. She took a shower first and then left the space.
An hour after the poisonous moth arrived, Yao Ran heard the sound of a motorboat coming from outside. In the next second, a recording was played through a loudspeaker.
"The poisonous moths just attack our city, and they are very poisonous. Do not swat them with your bare hands. The water from dead moths may also be poisonous. Be careful when killing and cleaning them."
"If you are bitten, treat it immediately by releasing the poisonous blood. Most moths are afraid of fire, so use fire to drive them away."
The loudspeaker continued to repeat the message until the motorboat passed the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
Yao Ran wanted to see what was going on outside, but poisonous moths covered the windows and balcony. Left with nothing to do, she returned to her bedroom.
A few minutes later, she felt waves of pain in her injured hand, along with dizziness, blurred vision, numbness, and weakness.
Yao Ran broke into a cold sweat from the pain and gritted her teeth. She endured the pain, took out a bottle of antidote, and swallowed two pills at once.
After enduring for a long time, Yao Ran finally succumbed to the darkness and fainted. As she lay unconscious in her bed, she was trapped in a nightmare and experienced two years of torture in the laboratory repeatedly.
Yao Ran didn't know how long she had been unconscious. She felt very uncomfortable, and her body temperature alternated between hot and cold.
