The dilapidated stone houses are covered with hay, and although this is a mountainous area, it is still sweltering.

The surrounding mountains and trees make it windless in the village, and the only generators are not running for a long time due to limited supplies and gasoline shortages.

With Tang Luotong and Ye Chen, Diana walked quickly to a house, looked back and forth, left and right, and she was sure of it.

Pushing open the door, the room was dim, with a hint of sourness, and the three of them came to a small room.

The house was clearly rebuilt after it collapsed, and the beams were slanted, with only the windows letting in a little light.

"Monkey, look what I've brought you!"

Walking briskly to the thatched bed, Diana said to the child lying on the bed.

What she spoke at this time turned out to be a local dialect, which really opened Tang Luotong's eyes, according to what she said, it was only three or four months since she came here.

Sure enough, she is very talented, and her mastery of foreign languages is so high that it is unbelievable.

The child, known as the monkey, was only over ten years old, and he tried to open his eyes with a childish spirit.

The emaciated face had sunken eyes, and the blank eyes looked at Diana.

"Thank you!"

The disease was eating away at his life little by little, and the young man reached out and grabbed the breadfruit with difficulty.

The fruit of the baobab tree is oblong, grayish-white, about the size of a mango, and it is definitely a very rare fruit in this kind of place.

On that day, the monkey and his friends in the same village went to look for breadfruit before they met the dehydrated Diana, and it was this breadfruit that saved Diana's life.

Struggling to grasp the breadfruit, a smile appeared on the corner of the monkey's mouth.

That smile was like a knife in Tang Luotong's eyes, and they were still suffering from illness when they were hungry.

"Wait a minute, I'll cut it for you, and you'll be ready to eat it right away!"

Now that the monkey could no longer hold the breadfruit, Diana fell to her knees and hurriedly cut the breadfruit with a knife.

But when she handed the breadfruit full of water to the monkey again, she found that the monkey's smile had frozen.

"Monkey! Monkey! Wake up! Don't you want to eat breadfruit, don't you say it's good to eat breadfruit, you get up and eat it! ”

Dropping the breadfruit, Diana threw herself on the monkey's corpse.

But no matter how she shook it, the monkey's eyes never opened again.

The grief-stricken Diana cried loudly, and Tang Luotong's tears on the side also fell.

Being robbed of his life by illness at a young age, this feeling made no one able to let go, Ye Chen's eyes were also a little wet, and he didn't say a word while standing there.

To be honest, he has seen too many such scenes, where is the country ruined, the war is coming, and the most unlucky are these old and weak women and children.

The crying soon attracted a group of children about the size of monkeys, several of whom were sobbing quietly, and they were all emaciated.

Ye Chen sighed, turned around and walked out of the room, looking at the same dilapidated houses around him, remembering that on the way Diana told them that these villages were rich before.

Just now, they also passed by two former villages, but those new-style buildings have long since turned to black ashes, and the remnants of the walls are all the malignant work of the scorpion group.

This forced them step by step to retreat, and they could only return to the top of the cliff they once were.

The water source here is okay, and there is a big river under the cliff, and it is okay to use buckets and ropes to carry water back, although it is laborious.

But food has become a big problem for them, there is no sale, they have to rely on manual digging, and most of the old and weak women and children have no way to work.

The distribution of food was entirely handled by tanks, and most of the food was eaten by the young and middle-aged, and the old and weak women and children were able to share it only without starvation.

It's not that the tank is bad, but it's really a helpless move, after all, all the food can only be hunted and gathered by young adults, if they don't have enough to eat and have the strength to work there.

Under such conditions, the medical environment is already very poor, and once you get sick, it is often fatal.

In a village where there is a shortage of medical treatment, people die of illness almost every day, and this time it fell on the monkeys.

The crying gradually stopped, and the monkey was carried out by his friends, because the medical conditions were not good, and once it died, it was burned immediately to avoid the spread of germs.

Tang Luotong helped Diana, who was already crying, as if she had lost an important partner at this time.

Soon, the clearing was filled with firewood, which was not scarce in such mountains.

The monkey was placed on the firewood, and as the tank ignited the firewood, the fire quickly devoured the monkey's corpse.

Diana hugged Tang Luotong, she couldn't say a word after crying, Tang Luotong also accompanied her to tears, but found that Ye Chen had disappeared without a trace.

Didn't attend the monkey's funeral because Ye Chen had other things to do.

Walking around the village, Ye Chen also understood the situation of every household, and he looked at the emaciated faces with a frown.

There were more than 500 people in the whole village, but they were lifeless, and the old and weak women and children who stayed here were completely waiting for death.

This feeling is very depressing, and a pair of godless eyes are full of despair.

"Where did you go?"

It wasn't until everything returned to calm that Ye Chen walked back, Tang Luotong sat at the door of the monkey, looking at Ye Chen with a serious face.

"I've gone to check on the situation, I'm afraid this disease is not small, if it goes on like this, the whole village will die!"

The blister-like beans seen from the monkey carcass are definitely not ordinary diseases, but dengue fever, which is a terrifying phenomenon on the continent.

This mosquito-borne virus is raging in Africa, often killing the entire village and the whole village, but it is very terrible.

"No, it won't!"

Tang Luotong had only heard of this disease, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

"I've seen entire villages die at the hands of this terrible virus, and if we don't get the medicine as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ye Chen sighed and said helplessly, the infection rate of this disease is very high, and here with poor medical conditions, it is almost equivalent to an incurable disease.

"Where's the medicine?"

While the two of them were talking, Diana, who was still tidying up the room, had already walked out.

With tears on her face, she can't let anyone die here anymore.

"If you suffer from dengue fever here, I'm afraid there is only one place where there is medicine!"

Ye Chen's words didn't need to be finished, the smart two girls had already thought that the only place where there might be medicine was the scorpion group.
