"Osan base?"

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows and suddenly recalled that Jiang Youzhen seemed to have mentioned to him before that the infection data on June 2 included an infected patient from Osan Air Force Base, who was also the first MERS infection in the South Korean military.

Could it be this Jin Canyu?

"Where is he now?"

"Of course, it's at the Wushan base."

Faced with Gu Ji's questioning, Li Minfu stumbled a bit in his words. He didn't know whether he was nervous or was hiding something. "Jin Canyu first felt uncomfortable at the base. He went to our hospital for examination and was diagnosed with MERS. He was taken away the same day and transferred to another hospital."

Arriving at a military medical facility."

"He only stayed at Shansang Hospital for less than a day and infected five patients?"

Gu Ji was slightly startled, "How can you let such a super patient with such a strong contagiousness go casually? What if he goes back and causes an infection within the military region?"

"There's nothing we can do about this. The other party is a soldier and is not under our jurisdiction."

Lee Min-bok waved his hand and began to shirk responsibility.

Gu Ji knew very well that he could not count on Shansang at all. After taking the information of "Jin Canyu", he personally found several people for questioning based on the information of the three generations of infected patients.

Among the five people, three were medical staff, and they were accidentally infected with MERS during the diagnosis process. The remaining two were passers-by who had close contact with Jin Canyu during his medical treatment, and their transmission ability was second only to that of MERS.

For the "most infectious person in South Korea".

It just so happens that "Kim Ji-goo" is still carrying the case of the Osan base laboratory explosion.

You can take this opportunity to investigate together.

Therefore, after he quickly confirmed the identities of the two super patients in the hospital, he asked Zhang Shiyun to notify the Disease Management Headquarters and transfer the patients to a special negative pressure ward for focused isolation.

Among them, the white-haired uncle who was the first-generation infected person has now entered the advanced stage of severe disease and relies entirely on a ventilator to survive. After expert evaluation, he believed that the risk of transfer to the hospital was extremely high, and his family members did not agree.

In the end, the CDC decided to assign three medical staff to be responsible for his intensive care unit.

So busy all afternoon.

The progress of the side quest in the lower left corner of Gu Ji was finally refreshed to "2/5".

Unfortunately, real-time monitoring of infectious disease data shows that the number of MERS infections and confirmed deaths have also increased by 16 and 1 respectively. Nearly 2,000 schools have been closed. The level of people's rebellion once approached 40%, and a resistance movement is about to break out.

In order to prevent Seoul from continuing to be chaotic.

In the evening, he called Lee Hyun-jung, the Cheong Wa Dae secretary-general, hoping that the Cheong Wa Dae would issue an announcement that Seoul would not be locked down and allocate food and necessities from other regions to ensure the normal life of Seoul people.

"We are already sending people to implement the suggestions you made."

"That's great." Gu Ji changed the subject and began to report the results of the search for the "super patient" in the afternoon. "According to the dean on duty at Shansang, Jin Canyu was forced to leave by people at the military base. I want to investigate.

Does he need to notify the Osan base first?"

"Wushan Base..."

Li Xuanzhen was a little hesitant in his words. It seemed that this matter was a bit troublesome even for a secretary general like him. "Well, I will be responsible for negotiating the issue of the joint military region. You can investigate other super-infected people for the time being. Wait.

I'll let you know when I have news."

"good."

The phone hangs up.

Gu Ji picked up the diagnosis information of "Jin Canyu" again.

It said that he had been treated at Sansang Medical Institution many times for fractures. During this period, he had close contact with the first-generation MERS patients. Shortly after returning to the base, he developed symptoms such as fever, chills, and muscle aches.

But Gu Ji always felt that something was not quite right.

Since the army required him to be transferred to a military medical facility for isolation, why did Jin Canyu not go to the military hospital for diagnosis at the beginning instead of coming to Sansang for medical treatment?

After thinking for a long time, Gu Ji couldn't figure it out.

Decided to wait for news from Lee Hyun Jung first.

in the following time.

He has been rushing to the list of 23 hospitals with confirmed patients announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Because at present, except for the two people he reported and Jin Canyu, the remaining "super patients" have not yet begun to appear.

Fortunately, the solution provided by Gu Ji before was very effective.

With the establishment of South Korea's Central MERS Management and Countermeasures Headquarters and the government's control in important areas such as airports and ports, although it has had a great impact on the city's economy and tourism industry, the number of new patients has begun to gradually decrease in the past few days.

As of June 24, 67 of the 179 confirmed patients have recovered and been discharged.

However, the total number of deaths from MERS has reached 27.

There are still 9 left before the ultimate goal fails.

"There were 6 new cases in one day on the 24th. Were four of them infected at Pyeongtaek Mary Hospital? First, temporarily seal the ward and prohibit people from entering and exiting. I will rush there immediately."

Gu Jigang discovered an anomaly in the infection monitoring information above his field of vision, and then received a call from the investigation team. He hurriedly grabbed his briefcase and said, "Jang Se-yun, follow me to Pyeongtaek."

"Okay senior!"

The two drove quickly to Queen Mary Hospital.

As the largest source of MERS incidents in South Korea, the management of Pyeongtaek Marie Hospital had serious oversights, and changes were made only after an investigation.

After arriving at the hospital, Gu Ji quickly identified the fourth super patient based on the information on infected patients and arranged for the CDC to transfer him.

Now only "Jin Chanyu" is the last one left.

But more than a week has passed, and the investigation still cannot be launched, because Jin Canyu is a first-class sergeant major of the Air Force, with a very high sergeant rank. He is the oldest non-commissioned officer in Osan Base. In addition, Osan Base is a joint military base between the United States and South Korea.

There were a lot of secrets involved, so Li Xuanzhen never negotiated well.

After dealing with Pyeongtaek Mary Hospital, Gu Ji prepared to return to downtown Seoul.

But when the car door was halfway open, he stopped where he was.

The reason is that the number of infected people above the field of vision suddenly increased by two people, and according to the distribution of red dots on the map, they all appeared at the same point, and they were not far away.

Gu Ji originally thought that another hospital in Pyeongtaek area had a nosocomial infection.

But when he zoomed in on the map location, his eyelids twitched.

It turned out to be Osan Air Force Base!

In the evening, the CDC and the MERS investigation team did not collect the confirmed information of the two patients, which illustrates a problem: the military region is deliberately concealing it!

Not to mention that "Jin Canyu" is one of the side goals.

If we just leave the Wushan base alone, if a large-scale infection breaks out in the military area, or one or two people die, even the ultimate goal will be affected!

So early the next morning, Gu Ji couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Jang Shiyun, come with me to the Osan base!"

"Okay, senior."

Jang Se-yoon was a little surprised. After all, the Blue House has not yet negotiated and communicated well with the Osan US-ROK Military District.

Although the Osan base is named "Osan City", it is actually located in a plain suburb north of Pyeongtaek City, about 60 kilometers south of Seoul, and is guarded by army troops stationed around it.

The base has a wide area and is divided into two major areas: the airport area and the camp area.

The area near the airport is basically farmland and hills, while the area near the camp is much more prosperous. In addition to basic facilities such as soldier barracks, residences for military dependents, and canteens, there are also supermarkets, schools, hospitals, etc.

Because there are a large number of American and Korean Army, Air Force soldiers and their families and children stationed here, there are many shopping malls, bars and clubs outside the camp. But behind the seemingly lively scene, a sudden explosion exposed the secret experiments of the United States and South Korea.

The location of the room is within the U.S. Air Force Base at Fordham.

Gu Ji asked Zhang Shiyun to park the car on the street outside the base camp wall.

He picked up the telescope and observed the situation inside through the iron fence.

The laboratory in the Forhan Air Force has long been isolated by the US military with green construction geotextile shelves on the pretext of cleaning up the site and rebuilding it. Outsiders cannot see inside at all. They can only see the garbage trucks coming from inside and behind.

The bucket was also covered tightly with canvas, so I didn't know what it was transporting.

However, the main purpose of his visit this time was for "Jin Canyu", so he began to focus on observing the hospital building in the camp.

It's a pity that there are no high-rise buildings near the Wushan base, so it is impossible to get a bird's-eye view.

"Senior, someone is coming out."

Zhang Shiyun suddenly reminded him.

Since the prosecutors and the military have two different systems, they cannot get a license to enter the base to investigate the case. Therefore, in the past, when investigating the explosion in the laboratory, they could only operate outside the base walls, or take advantage of the family members of American soldiers to come out to play and make insidious remarks.

ask.

Following his reminder, Gu Ji saw a middle-aged white woman with blond hair and blue eyes leading a seven or eight-year-old child out of the base gate, seemingly preparing to go shopping in a nearby shopping mall.

"Bring some medical protective equipment."

Gu Ji noticed that although they were all wearing masks, there were obvious signs of wearing them many times. After all, the whole of South Korea is in urgent need of medical protective equipment due to MERS, especially in Seoul and Pyeongtaek, which are the hardest-hit areas. Masks are hard to come by.
