Chapter 226 Heat Stroke
Chapter 226 Heat Stroke
"Wait, don't cry, tell me what happened first?"
"Xiaojiu, wuwuwu... She, she is sick, her whole body is running hot..." The mountain cat cried with tears and snot.
Su Qianqian held her forehead helplessly: "Don't cry, take me to see it first."
So, under the leadership of Bobcat, Su Qianqian came to the slaves' living area again.
Compared to the last time I came here, there have been great changes. There are almost no orcs on the roadside, and the orcs who usually work under the pine straw and animal skin fences are nowhere to be seen.
Su Qianqian followed Shanmao to Xiaojiu's residence and found that the leaves and bark used to shelter from wind and rain were withered and shriveled by the scorching sun. One can imagine the torture the people inside were going through.
She bent down and took the little girl out. She touched her forehead and found it was extremely hot. Her face was pale, her breathing was a little rapid, and she was unconscious.
It's obviously heatstroke.
Su Qianqian quickly carried her to the shade of a big tree nearby, then took out a hide bag filled with water, put a handful of sea crystal sand in it, and finally gave it to Xiaojiu to drink.
People who suffer from heatstroke usually sweat a lot and can replenish the water and electrolytes needed by the body through salt water.
"That bark enclosure made of pine straw is too stuffy and there's no air circulation. If she stays in there for a long time, she'll inevitably get heatstroke."
Su Qianqian took out a piece of animal skin from her storage ring and put it on the ground. Then she gently put Xiaojiu down and reminded her, "Don't go into the bark enclosure during the day. It's a little cooler here in the shade. Take this animal skin bag and feed Xiaojiu some later. She's sweating too much and needs more water."
Although he didn't understand what Su Qianqian was saying, Bobcat nodded repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, Su Qianqian stretched out her right hand again, and the supernatural power in her body gradually condensed in the palm of her palm. In just a moment, a fist-sized piece of ice condensed, emitting a hint of coldness.
She ignored Bobcat's extremely shocked look and directly put the ice cube into Xiaojiu's arms.
Xiaojiu's heatstroke is already quite serious. If the body is not cooled down in time, it is likely to cause excessive accumulation of heat in the body, damage to organs, and endanger life. Therefore, using ice cubes to cool down is the fastest and most effective way.
"You, you actually have the legendary dual-system superpowers..." Bobcat looked at the ice cube stuffed into Xiaojiu's arms and said in disbelief.
"Why, haven't you seen it before?" Su Qianqian glanced at him with a smile, then another piece of ice condensed in her palm and tossed it to Shanmao, "You should hold one too, so you don't faint too."
Bobcat caught it in a hurry, and holding it in his arms, he felt a cool breeze reaching his head. The feeling of being unable to breathe due to the heat disappeared instantly, and the whole person felt as if he had suddenly entered a snowy day from a hot summer day, refreshed and cool.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said in panic: "I...I..."
"Alright, no need to thank me." Su Qianqian waved her hand and said, "Let me ask you something. Have you seen a male orc wearing a strange hat in the past few days?"
The mountain cat was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Is it... the slave who always follows you? I haven't seen him in the past few days. Do you want me to help you find him now?"
For a moment, he even changed the way he addressed Su Qianqian.
In the City of Beasts, having superpowers is not a rare thing. After all, those city guards patrolling the streets all have superpowers. But possessing dual superpowers is one in a million, a genius that only appears once every few hundred years!
Such a genius deserves respect wherever he goes.
"Forget it, you should stay and take care of your Xiaojiu." Su Qianqian sighed helplessly, "I'll go find it myself."
If Yin Shuo hid away out of anger because he didn't wait for me, I guess no one would be able to find him.
Su Qianqian was just about to get up and leave when dozens of slave orcs suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her.
Shanmao subconsciously protected Xiaojiu behind him and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?"
Unexpectedly, the slave orcs suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Qianqian: "Please save us, give us some water or ice, we are willing to exchange all our animal skins for..."
These orcs took out the animal skins they had worked hard for several days, and those who didn't have animal skins took out the tendons they had kneaded themselves, and even took out the bone utensils they had polished...
These orcs were almost naked, without a single intact animal skin on their bodies. Their exposed upper bodies were blackened and cracked by the scorching sun, and covered with dust and sweat. Their lower bodies were barely wrapped in a grass skirt, but it was also torn by the sun and half fell off.
They looked at Su Qianqian with hope on their desperate faces, their lips cracked and dry due to long-term dehydration.
Su Qianqian watched, but couldn't bear it after all.
