Chapter 669: Advanced Evolution Fungus Infection

No wonder Broken-Waist Wolf arrived less than half an hour after dark — the three wolves it brought today were all sick. Escorting three sick wolves through sixty li of evolution forest, traveling at night was even more dangerous.

Standing at the entrance of Xiong Dong, Xia Qing observed the three wolves carefully through night-vision goggles and asked, "Broken-Waist, are these three also companions of yours and the Queen's? Why didn't I see them when I went to Mountain Sixty? Their fur is sick — do they need medicine?"

Broken-Waist Wolf walked over to Xia Qing, gestured for her to take the trade goods out of the side pocket, then tilted its head slightly and bared its adorable, snow-white little fang tips.

After taking out a pigeon-egg-sized yi stone, Xia Qing's smile was even brighter than Broken-Waist Wolf's. "Handsome Wolf Bro, you really are the clever wolf standing at the top of Jin Zita — you really know the rules, you really know how to handle things! Good, I'll treat them right away."

Wolves with sparse fur, emaciated, breathing heavily — a few drops of external parasite repellent wouldn't cure them. She had to carefully examine the condition of these three wolves before she could administer medicine.

Xia Qing pointed at the wolf den with its door tightly shut and discussed with Broken-Waist Wolf, "Shall we go inside the wolf den to treat them?"

Broken-Waist Wolf stopped smiling and stood still, staring at Xia Qing.

"Fine, we won't go into the wolf den, we'll treat them right here." Although she didn't understand why they couldn't go in, Xia Qing fully respected the trading partner's wishes. She took out her medicine kit, put on antibacterial gloves and disinfected, then tapped the wolf's head and started calling out, "Handsome Wolf Bro, call that wolf over here."

Broken-Waist Wolf turned its head and let out an "Aowu." Although the wolf that came over wasn't the one Xia Qing had called, one did eventually come over, baring its teeth, reluctant and unwilling.

The condition of these three sick wolves was much milder than when Wolf Lao Er first arrived at Territory Three. Back then Wolf Lao Er couldn't even see, lying motionless in the sheep pen, without the energy or strength to resist.

Even if these sick wolves resisted, Xia Qing wasn't afraid. Because she was wearing the snake-skin coat and snake-skin gloves, if these sick wolves dared to move recklessly, one slap from her could pin a wolf down. Besides, with Broken-Waist Wolf watching nearby, these wolves wouldn't dare make trouble.

Xia Qing, the unlicensed wolf-pack team doctor, examined it thoroughly and found that this wolf not only had hair loss and was emaciated, but its body temperature was higher than a normal wolf's, and there was still not-fully-dried feces stuck to its hind leg. This indicated it not only had skin problems but also diarrhea symptoms. As for why it had diarrhea and fever, that would have to be determined after lab testing.

After taking samples of the wolf's feces and skin dander, Xia Qing first applied dermatitis medicine powder to it, then dripped external parasite repellent on the back of its neck, and moved on to the next one.

The symptoms of these three wolves were basically the same, so this disease might be an infectious one. Xia Qing took a syringe out of her medicine kit and drew blood from this last wolf. The wolf, stung by the needle, growled and roared, trying to bite Xia Qing, but was stopped by Xia Qing's hand and Broken-Waist Wolf's stern roar.

Because it struggled so violently, this wolf actually coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Xia Qing's expression grew even more grave.

She took out a water basin, poured in uncontaminated spring water, added medicine for treating gastrointestinal issues, and had Broken-Waist Wolf call the three wolves over to drink the medicine.

After the treatment ended, Xia Qing gestured and asked Broken-Waist Wolf, wanting to take it back with her. "Handsome Wolf Bro, one dose of medicine can't cure them. They need to stay here. Handsome Wolf Bro, come back to the territory with me, okay?"

Broken-Waist Wolf looked up at Xia Qing, as if pondering what her words meant.

So Xia Qing gestured again and changed her phrasing. "I have a very nice blanket. The Queen will definitely like it. Handsome Wolf Bro, come back with me and take a look?"

This time Broken-Waist Wolf understood. It bared its little fang tips, let out several "Aowu" at the three wolves, then followed Xia Qing out of the valley. The three wolves were left behind in the valley, still not allowed to enter the wolf den.

When the human and wolf crossed the isolation belt, Broken-Waist Wolf noticed that the door of the iron-net wall at the north isolation belt hadn't been installed yet, so it stood at the empty spot where the door should be, looked at Xia Qing, and showed a puzzled expression.

Truly worthy of a brain-domain evolved wolf — its facial expressions were getting richer and richer. Or rather, after spending more time in contact with the wolf pack, she herself was increasingly able to understand the body language of these creatures called wolves.

Xia Qing lowered her voice and gestured as she explained, "In a few days, a door will be installed here. Once the door is installed, Handsome Wolf Bro can pass through two doors to get to my territory from here. Aren't you happy? Aren't you excited?"

Broken-Waist Wolf went in and out through the north gate of Territory Three three times, using its actions to show Xia Qing how much it loved the door.

After it had played enough, Xia Qing first carefully disinfected it from head to paw, then peeled off its snake protective suit and disinfected it thoroughly again, before letting it go home first. "Handsome Wolf Bro, go home first. I still have some things to do, I'll be back later."

Broken-Waist Wolf went home by the familiar route. Passing by the greenhouse, it even went in and picked up a perilla leaf for Sheep Boss before heading toward home.

After Ji Li came over, Xia Qing handed him the five sample test tubes and whispered a reminder, "Brother Ji, be careful. The stuff inside might be infectious."

Xia Qing, the half-baked vet, judged from the symptoms that the condition of the three wolves was somewhat complicated. After isolating Broken-Waist Wolf from the three sick wolves, she immediately contacted the professional — Zhang Shiyi.

She hoped she was being overly worried.

After getting home, Xia Qing set aside her worries and took out the two pink wolf nests she had made. "Handsome Wolf Bro, look — these are wolf nests I made for you, the Queen, and the wolf pups. Do they look good? Do you like them?"

Broken-Waist Wolf saw such a beautiful thing, its eyes lit up. It came over to sniff and smell, then carried it to the side of the small table, placed it in front of its laptop, and smiled happily.

Seeing that it liked them, Xia Qing also smiled very happily and became much more talkative.

"I originally wanted to decorate them with a few pretty pearls, but since you and the Queen have pups now, I was afraid the pups would gnaw the pearls off and swallow them, so I didn't add any. Take these two wolf nests with you later. This is a gift from me to you and the Queen — congratulations on having your own pups."

Broken-Waist Wolf probably didn't understand much of this long speech of hers, but that didn't affect its good mood. It raised a paw and gestured for Xia Qing to play a video for it.

Since it had come all this way, of course it had to learn some knowledge before leaving.

Not giving it a choice today, Xia Qing opened the laptop and directly played a video about the transmission methods and preventive measures of infectious diseases.

Although the fever symptoms weren't necessarily caused by an infectious disease, there were far too many infectious diseases during the year of natural disasters. Xia Qing was terrified that those three feverish wolves had caught an infectious disease and would transmit it through Broken-Waist Wolf to the nursing head wolf, the weak pups, and Wolf Lao Er who had just recovered.

Broken-Waist Wolf sat solemnly upright in the soft pink wolf nest, staring at the laptop watching the video — very much the air of a top student.

Even with brain-domain evolution, it was still just a wolf. Such complex knowledge couldn't be understood in one viewing — it asked Xia Qing to play it a second time.

The second video hadn't even reached halfway when the idol's phone call came through.
