Da Hwa City's Ji Kang Hospital, from the clinic to the inpatient department, was completely paralyzed. It was filled with petrification patients wailing in pain and despair.
They were dying, slowly dying from the pain that was bursting out of their bodies.
There were also those who fell into delirium. They screamed gibberish that no one could understand. They were controlled by the pyramid of the mental world.
Doctor Xiao Gang went from receiving patients at the orthopedic clinic to now lying on a hospital bed. He could barely even lift his arm. The disease progressed so fast that even he had lost track of time. One night? Or two nights?
At that moment, the room with 4 beds was filled with more than 10 patients and their family members.
Ever since they found out that Xiao Gang was a doctor here, they had been bombarding him with questions, questioning, angrily asking, hopefully asking, and begging him with questions.
What should they do now? What else could they do? What could they do to stop the pain? What could they do to cure this disease?
"I'm sorry, I don't know …" Xiao Gang could only answer in confusion, "Progressive musculoskeletal disease, petrification disease, I don't know …"
Perhaps the Phecda members knew. Since the apocalypse, only a small team of Phecda members had been sent here to maintain order at the hospital. Many people could understand how badly they were lacking in manpower at this time, but they roared and begged. Save them, or at least save the young children.
They did not know that the ones maintaining order here were normal Phecda members. They actually did not know much.
They were just waiting, hoping for the frontline to achieve victory as soon as possible.
This was also the hope of the normal Phecda members at the various hospitals who were also shrouded in a fog of despair …
On the television hanging on the wall, the news presenter urged the people to calm down. Every phone received the same message.
Initially, most people could maintain their composure but as the pain increased, the mental exhaustion and the physical inability to move, the people could not help but slide into the spiral of despair. It was the same chaotic scene in the ward and the hospital lobby. The medical staff who had fallen ill one after another were powerless to do anything.
Amidst the waves of cries of pain, there were people sobbing softly, and there were also the sharp and helpless cries of children, which further shattered the already fragile collective will.
Was this the end? Was this the end …
Only death could release them.
Only death could free them?
Some of the patients who had already broken down dragged their bodies in great pain and struggled to walk to the window or balcony in search of relief. They were about to jump out of the window. A mother was holding her child, standing on the balcony and hesitating. She didn't want to suffer anymore, but the desire to let her child live pulled her back.
Suddenly, a sudden gust of cold wind blew through the dark night.
The wind was so strong that the windows that were opened were closed with a bang. The piercing cold made the patients in front of the windows feel shaken. They shivered from the cold, but they were also awakened by the piercing cold. It was the same for the patients by the balcony. The night sky was like an abyss, but there seemed to be a flash of light from it.
Not only were their spirits shaken, even their sore bodies, muscles, soft tissues, and joints suddenly slowed down …
This huge gust of cold wind was bringing new life.
The patients suddenly felt that the painkillers they had taken and the diclofenac diethylamine emulsion they had applied earlier had suddenly taken effect.
After taking the medicine for so long, the effect was almost zero. Now that the cold wind blew, it started to take effect. The pain was fading.
The exhausted Doctor Xiao Gang, who was lying on the hospital bed, woke up from his daze under the cold wind. Why did he feel a little different …
Suddenly, other than the screams, wails, curses, and cries, he heard something else. It was a different sound that he had heard for a long time.
It was the running footsteps of the Phecda members and the joyful shouts, "Hang in there everyone, the frontline has been taken care of. The abnormal weather has passed!"
Earlier, the official news reported that there was an abnormal natural phenomenon similar to El Niño around the world. It could also be called a 'supernatural force'. This abnormal weather not only caused a series of torrential rains across the world, it also caused people to suffer from rheumatoid disease, that was what the patients were currently suffering from.
But now …
"The Phecda members at the frontline have contained the source of the abnormal weather!" The Phecda members who ran by shouted, "Everyone's illness will be cured, everyone will live!"
"What?!" "Has it been solved?" "Is this really caused by the abnormal weather?" "They're just trying to calm us down …"
The powerless crowd immediately became restless. Many people had doubts in their hearts, but they could not suppress the excitement that began to surge like an undercurrent. Could it be true?
The members of Phecda could lie, but suddenly, his body … did not feel as painful as before. In fact, the pain was dropping like a receding flood … The strange feeling inside his body was indeed dispersing. It was disappearing into the unknown, just like how he did not know where it came from before …
Some seriously ill patients even discovered that the blood-colored pyramid that had been lingering in front of their eyes and driving them crazy had disappeared into thin air.
After being tortured for so long, peace had returned to their eyes.
The delirious patients woke up from a nightmare. Their bodies were covered in cold sweat. Even though their limbs were still restricted, it did not feel like they were buried in a grave.
"Everyone, hang in there, the abnormal weather has passed!" This group of Phecda members ran through every building, every department and every corridor at Ji Kang Hospital. Their voice was more convincing than the broadcast. This kind of joy spread like wildfire, igniting people's will to live.
"It's over, it's over …" Doctor Xiao Gang propped himself up from the hospital bed and looked outside in agitation. He said to the patients and their family members who were equally agitated, nervous, and at a loss of what to do, "It's my guess, it's my guess. As long as there are no more abnormal forces and there are no more abnormal bone growths, everyone will have a chance to recover through surgery … It's over, it's over …"
Hearing the doctor say that and knowing that the torment of pain was no longer there, the people's faces relaxed.
Similar scenes were also happening in other hospitals at this time. A force had brought them out of the abyss of suffering.
What made them even more excited were the other news reports on the television. The floods that erupted all over the world were receding!
The flood had receded and so had the pain.
The night was still long but it would eventually pass. Day would come with the cawing of the crows.
