1044: Bitten by a snake

Bitten by a snake

" What are you doing? It's hot," Ye Liu pushed Yu Dong away when he felt her embrace him. The weather was getting too hot and his entire body was covered with a thick layer of sweat, with Yu Dong hugging him it only made him feel even more stifled.  0

" But I am hot too," Yu Dong whispered in his ear causing Ye Liu to blush as he pushed her away. " Don't try to get cheeky with me, it's really too hot and I cannot even think of doing all those things at the moment get away from me. Just get off." 

Seeing that he did not want to do it, Yu Dong did not push him. Instead, she rolled away from him and said, " What about cuddling with no clothes on?" 

Her only response was a pillow thrown on her face. 

" Come on, I was all excited," Yu Dong murmured as she looked at Ye Liu missing the air conditioning of her building. Though generating electricity in her world was a difficult task, those who had the power of thunder sometimes helped the scientists to create electricity, but it was quite expensive. 

However, there was no way she could do the same thing here. 

" Don't even get me started," Ye Liu huffed as he rolled on his back, even though he was only wearing his innerwear, his skin was shimmering with sweat droplets. " In such a weather you might as well kill me rather than do that." 

" Not even a little bit?" Yu Dong asked with a pout. 

Ye Lous stared at her pouting expression for a few minutes before saying " No." 

Yu Dong wanted to say that he was being unfair but her words were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. 

" Miss Yu! Miss Yu! Hurry up! Zhou Xing was bitten by a venomous snake while working near the mountains!" The voice of Madam Gong penetrated the walls of the Yu family causing everyone to sit up straight in the bed. Even the children were startled by her panicked shout causing Chen Mi to spend a few minutes to coax them back to sleep. 

When Yu Dong heard that one of the workers was bitten by a snake, she immediately twisted on her bed and then slid out.  With a jacket donned on her shoulders, she rushed out of the room and opened the doors of her house for Madam Gong who was knocking at the door with a flustered expression. 

" What happened?" Yu Dong asked while putting her shoes on. 

Madam Gong was currently a nervous wreck, she stuttered for quite a while before she opened her mouth and then said in a hurry, "It's Zhou Xing, that girl was digging at the mountain with us but suddenly she felt hungry, she told me that she was going to dig some wild edible vegetables but ended up running a snake nest. Before we could save her, the venomous snake had already bitten her." 

Though Yu Dong offered them three meals a day, sometimes they would go up the mountains after doing an extra shift to either hunt a rabbit or pick some wild vegetables. Because her team had to start working in another place, Madam Gong thought to spend the entire night digging the well, it was normal for the workers to feel suddenly hungry, which was why she did not stop Zhou Xing even though they ate quite a lot at dinner. 

However, Madam Gong did not think that Zhou Xing would end up running into a snake nest and even get poisoned. That girl was the breadwinner of her family, if something happened to her then Madam Gong was sure that she would be in trouble.

When Yu Dong heard that Zhou Xing ran into a snake nest her brows couldn't help but furrow. Though the mountain behind the village had been silent till now it did not mean that there were no longer any wild animals wandering in the depths of the forest. 

  The place she marked was quite away from the inner parts of the forest which only meant that the wild animals were slowly moving to the bottom of the mountain in search of food because never before this did she hear any villager saying that there was a snake nest at the bottom of the mountains. 

" Do you know how that snake looked?" Yu Dong asked. In the past there were quite a lot of poisonous mutated snakes that wandered on the land of the apocalypse world, thus each officer was given a lot of anti-venom. Fortunately, Yu Dong never met with a mutated snake in her life and all the anti-venom was still stored in her space. If she could find out the category of the snake then she would be able to deal with venom in Zhou Xing's body.

Madam Gong thought about it before answering, " It was King Cobra. I went to ask Doctor Gu for help but unfortunately, she has to go somewhere and is not at home. Even Madam Wu is not at home." 

When Yu Dong heard that it was a king cobra, she heaved a sigh of relief. She had an anti-venom for the venom of the King Cobra, and as long as it was not too late she would be able to save that worker named Zhou Xing. 

Once she and Madam Gong arrived at the mountains, Yu Dong rushed towards the crowd that was surrounding Zhou Xing and immediately said, " What are you doing? Get away from her. Leave enough space for her to breathe calmly." 

She then stepped forward and crouched down before placing her hand on Zhou Xing's chest. Though her breathing was shallow, her heartbeat was still there seeing this Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief, she looked at the nervous women who were surrounding them and said, " Wait here, I know how to deal with this venom. I will go and bring the medicine, while you all wait here." 

After she was done speaking, Yu Dong did not give a chance to them to say anything. She calmly headed up to the mountains before taking out the anti-venom because it was for much stronger venom, Yu Dong had to dilute it first. Only then did she squeeze some out in a syringe and head back.
