"Director Gu is right. Although the source of the virus has not yet been found, Dr. Li helped us treat virus patients and saved dozens of lives that were facing death threats. This is the greatest result we have achieved so far in the disaster area." Yan
The secretary came up surrounded by many leaders and said with a smile.
"Yes, Dr. Li, you are too humble!"
"If the disaster area hadn't been relieved by now, we should really be celebrating."
Other doctors and leaders also spoke one after another. The crowd did not lose their enthusiasm because of Li Tianchen's words, and the atmosphere of joy rose again.
"Doctor Li, you have just treated so many patients, how about you go and rest first? I have ordered people to find the source of the virus, and I will notify you immediately as soon as there is news." Gu Liming said with an excited smile on his haggard old face.
.
Li Tianchen smiled and shook his head. He understood Gu Liming's good intentions, but finding the source of the virus was urgent.
"I am not in a hurry. The source of the virus must be found as soon as possible, because judging from the patient's condition, the source of the virus is not trivial. If there is a delay of one minute, someone may be infected, and there are signs that the source of the virus is expanding and strengthening."
Gu Liming's expression changed and he said in surprise: "Dr. Li, have you discovered it too?"
Li Tianchen nodded and said: "Patients with mild illness have more severe viruses in their bodies than patients with severe illness. It's just that they have just been infected and the virus has not yet completely broken out."
It was precisely because he discovered this situation that Li Tianchen decided to carry out intensive treatment to shorten the time, and then he could go away to find the source of the virus, completely destroy the virus, and eliminate future troubles forever.
"Yes, we only discovered this situation yesterday. Patients who were infected with the virus before could live for five or six days, but the survival time of patients infected with the virus is getting shorter and shorter. The patient who died recently took only 50 days from being infected with the virus to death.
Less than 72 hours.”
Li Tianchen was able to analyze these quickly, which proved that he was extremely careful and had superb medical skills. Gu Liming was very impressed, but he was also worried when he thought that the virus was getting more and more powerful.
"Director Gu, where did the latest infected patient get the infection?" Li Tianchen asked.
"Do you want to take a look at the scene?" Gu Liming immediately understood what Li Tianchen meant and said, "He is an ordinary sanitation worker who lives in the west of the county. He doesn't know when he was infected with the virus, but since you want
Go, I will send someone to take you there right now."
Li Tianchen nodded, without further ado, the earlier the source of the virus is discovered, the more people's fear and burden can be alleviated, which will have a huge effect on reversing the overall situation in the disaster area.
Seeing that Li Tianchen had just finished treating dozens of patients and was going to find the source of the virus again, Secretary-General Yan sighed: "Dr. Li's professionalism is worth learning from all of us!"
Li Tianchen used his practical actions to win the admiration and even admiration of everyone including Secretary-General Yan.
Li Tianchen did not expect that his actions would yield such results.
"Come here, immediately send a car to accompany Dr. Li and mobilize all available forces to help Dr. Li find the source of the virus as soon as possible." Secretary-General Yan then issued the order.
Soon, Li Tianchen and Mu Lianyun followed a doctor sent by Gu Liming, riding in a military vehicle protected by soldiers, and drove at high speed to the home of the virus-infected patient.
Fangwu County is surrounded by mountains, and its area is much smaller than the county towns in coastal provinces and cities. Ten minutes later, they finally arrived at the western part of the county town. Here is a relatively backward residential area with stone houses connected together.
"Dr. Li, this patient said he felt unwell after returning home. It's not clear whether he was infected at home or at work. We checked all the places he walked, but there was no trace of infection.
Found something abnormal." The doctor who brought them said.
Li Tianchen nodded, "Where did this patient go that day? Can you please lead me through it again?"
Since even the patient himself doesn't know it clearly, he can only use the simplest and stupidest method and try it again, maybe he can find something.
The doctor was quite convinced of Li Tianchen and immediately opened the door of the patient's house without saying much.
Since the patient himself did not know where he was infected with the virus, his family members were also quarantined for examination, and no one lived there.
Li Tianchen carefully inspected the patient's residence and found nothing. Then, he and Mu Lianyun followed the doctor out the door and walked along the route that the patient took that day.
This sanitation worker's job was to clean the streets. After walking around the streets, Li Tianchen paid careful attention to the ground, air, trees, etc., but he didn't find anything.
Mu Lianyun looked at the deserted road, frowned and thought: "There seems to be nothing unusual here, but why is it infected?"
Li Tianchen was not surprised. There are many ways of virus infection, and it is normal for there to be no traces. Otherwise, virology experts such as Gu Liming would not be able to do anything.
"Um?"
At this moment, Li Tianchen's ears suddenly twitched, but he heard some strange and subtle sounds.
"Did you hear that?"
"What?"
Mu Lianyun turned her head, with a confused look on her face.
Li Tianchen's heart moved, and he immediately concentrated on listening carefully. The sound turned out to be clearer, as if something was crawling.
His sensory abilities are far beyond those of ordinary people, and his ears can even hear the sound of mosquitoes several meters away.
Li Tianchen quickly activated his consciousness, left his body, and explored his surroundings.
Sure enough, his spiritual consciousness soon discovered that the sound came from the sewer next to the road not far away.
Under careful exploration with his spiritual consciousness, Li Tianchen soon discovered that there were about a dozen ants in the sewer, crawling along the sewer.
There is a faint hint of purple on these ants, which is the smell of the virus.
There was indeed something strange about this group of ants. Li Tianchen's heart moved, and he immediately strode over and lifted up a stone slab in the sewer.
The scorching sun's rays instantly shone into the sewer, revealing the dirty and rotten edge of the sewer. Sure enough, a group of ants were seen moving, and a foul smell filled the air.
Mu Lianyun groaned, quickly covered her nose, and took two steps back, looking at Li Tianchen with a puzzled face.
Li Tianchen didn't seem to smell the stench. He frowned slightly and stared at the group of ants.
These dozen ants were different from ordinary ants. They were huge in size and purple in color. After the stone slab was lifted, the ants were frightened and fled in all directions.
