Zhaotun Village is on the edge of Feicui Town. The conditions are difficult. The protection provided by the World Tree is limited. There are low thatched huts, stinky ditches, and many white cloth banners in front of the doors. The epidemic situation
It broke out. Looking at the amount of white cloth from a distance, the situation was very pessimistic.
Several people wearing yellow isolation gowns were observing the situation at the home of an infected person. In a dark room, a thin and dirty old lady curled up in the corner. She was wearing a blue and white plaid isolation gown, her eyes were gray and gray.
Numb, she was staring at a young man lying not far away. The man had lost most of his life to the epidemic and was so thin that he was not human. Several medical staff in isolation suits were making their last efforts to bleed him.
The man's thin thigh was covered with blackened bleeding spots. The bleeding was black and could not be stopped at all. The usual bloodletting therapy in previous years seemed to be inapplicable to this strange epidemic. Many patients
They often died of shock caused by massive hemorrhage. Plague doctors were helpless about this. They knew nothing about treatment drugs, understanding of the disease, or even its transmission channels. Suddenly, the sick man violently
He started convulsing, vomiting blood from his mouth, and several plague doctors immediately ran away.
Liu Yuexi had seen several scenes like this in the morning. He was shocked that life was so fragile. After a while, the man died, and the body was hastily put into a body bag for subsequent processing. The whole room was filled with a lot of
The old lady in the corner was carried out amid ashes of vegetation. She said nothing, did not cooperate or resist, just like a living mummy. Just now, her last relative, her youngest son, died. And
Tragedies like this happen every day.
After walking out of the isolation area and changing into isolation clothes, Yue Xi and two other fellow travelers came to the tent of the temporary epidemic command post. "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Liu Yuexi, for the fuel you sent, as well as the gorse seeds and
The alder tree is exactly what we urgently need. Judge Yu is indeed right, you are indeed an upright person at heart."
The woman who spoke is the female pastor of the Holy Light Church. Standing next to him is his husband, Zhang Zihe, the only pioneer healer in the Ten Towns area. This is a very legendary figure. Being a pioneer is a popular profession. Generally,
Most of them would go to big cities to develop, but this one went in the opposite direction, taking root in the countryside and specializing in treating the diseases of ordinary people, especially refugees and untouchables. The two of them had a very high reputation in the entire ten towns.
"It's useless. It's just that we can dispose of the corpses better and control the epidemic more effectively in these circles. When the dead are almost gone, the epidemic will naturally end and the rainy season will continue next year." Zhang Zihe's words are very convincing.
He is discouraged, maybe because many years of rural prevention and control work have made him extremely disappointed.
"What are you talking about, Zihe? The supplies Mr. Liu brought are completely personal. It's not like you don't know how expensive fuel is. Please say a few words. I'm sorry. Mr. Liu, my husband may be too busy recently."
, a bit." The female pastor smoothed things over.
Yue Xi was not angry. Judge Yu had specially greeted him before he came. Even a tough guy like Lao Yu had to remind him how bad this man and his brother were. Yue Xi was well prepared and didn't say much.
, going straight to the point, "I don't dare to show off in front of two experts, but judging from what happened just now, the symptoms are neither like plague or influenza, nor are they different from fever, especially the symptoms of spurting blood, which are too bizarre.
Yes, I personally think it’s a new infectious disease.”
The couple were surprised by Liu Yuexi's extraordinary knowledge. They thought he was just a charitable person, but they didn't expect that he knew so much. "Is Mr. Liu a doctor?" the pastor asked.
Yue Xi waved her hand, "You misunderstood, no, it's just a family business. It's just opening a small trading house to make some living money. It just so happens that general medical immunity supplies are the main business items. Refugees and untouchables live in poverty, and they are affected by the rainy season almost every year.
I have also experienced the pain of the epidemic, and I have experienced it deeply."
Zhang Zihe's eyes lit up and he said: "What you said is very insightful. Symptoms of bleeding are rare. I suspect that the way this disease spreads is through the blood medium. There is too little known at present, except that it is not easy for awakened people.
Apart from contracting the disease, we know nothing else, which is really shameful.”
Yue Xi asked: "I can help send the samples to Wangjing for further laboratory analysis. I also have acquaintances in the Druid Church. Let's see if we can get some more alders and gorse. Right now, isolation and disinfection are a big deal, and we can't let the situation get better.
It continues to spread. If possible, I hope you two can go to the provincial capital with me. In the final analysis, we still need support from above and you can explain the situation more professionally."
"This is great, great, thank you. I'll get ready right now. Soon." Zhang Zihe ran out before he finished speaking.
Yuexi looked at the female pastor and said, "Your husband is indeed an interesting person."
The female pastor also shook her head, smiled and said to Yue Xi: "Mr. Liu, you can call me by my name. Zeng Yi, you always treat me like this, I feel a little embarrassed."
Yue Xi also smiled, "My name is Liu Yuexi, and acquaintances call me Yue Xi. You, no, Pastor Zeng can also call me that. I am a direct person, and you are very busy, so I will not beat around the bush.
I have my own reasons for coming to help. It is not selfish. As you may know, I have a new enclave in the dark world and need a large number of land reclamation personnel. The most ideal channel is these refugees and untouchables. This year's infectious disease outbreak has seriously affected
When I recruit people, can you tell me how far the infectious disease has spread and how serious the situation is."
Pastor Zeng looked at Yuexi and smiled: "Mr. Yuexi is very straightforward, but this is good. According to our current understanding, the same infectious disease broke out in five villages including Zhangtun Village this time.
This shows that the virus is very contagious. But this time it is a bit strange. There is no epidemic report even near the most remote Hongye Town. You must know that the conditions there are the worst. The situation over the years tells us that other remote villages and towns are very likely to hide the epidemic.
Report, if this is the case, it will be difficult to say if the plague continues to spread. Mr. Yuexi just mentioned that he can contact the provincial capital and hope that it can be done as soon as possible. The spread of the infectious disease cannot be delayed. The situation this time is different from previous years.
"
"Is it possible that it is man-made?" Yue Xi expressed her conjecture and told Zeng Yi about the pollution situation in the water source that she saw when she went to the enclave.
Zeng Yi frowned after hearing this, "When you said that, I remembered something. There seems to be a cult called Chaos Truth that has appeared over there recently. It is expanding rapidly. It seems that there are no villages or areas where they have entered.
There is a large-scale epidemic situation. I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
"The Chaos Truth Cult is interesting. Okay, I will check it out. When I am ready, I will go to Wangjing with you. I will inform you as soon as possible. Okay." Yue Xi vaguely felt something fishy.
, not wanting to stay any longer, he resigned from Zeng Yi and hurried back. He had a lot of troubles on his side.
When I got home, it was already afternoon, and the house was a little deserted. After asking someone, I found out that her mother went out to burn incense, and Zi Yue didn't know whether it was because of things in the shop or Zi Ling's things, but she hadn't gone out with Monkey until now.
Back. Daozi is still practicing in the gravity room. Ajie and the guy named Lin Wanqiu went out for a romance.
.Everyone was worried. Yuexi sat helplessly on the Grand Master's chair, feeling bad and not knowing where to go.
Just after drinking some tea, Liu Zi hurried in. Yue Xi happened to be looking for him and asked: "How is the investigation going?"
Liuzi took a sip of tea first and said: "Brother Yue, I've checked everything. It's quite troublesome. There's really no news about Mr. Ba. This old boy has been quite peaceful recently. He doesn't gamble randomly, and of course he doesn't have money to gamble. He
He quit his job at the lumber factory and gave up the rent on the house he rented. Neighbors also said that he seemed to have found a new job in Harbor City. It doesn't seem to be fake."
Yue Xi rubbed her temples, feeling very annoyed. Could it be that his fortune had changed? It was impossible. She asked again: "Where is he today? Is there anything unusual in the past two days?"
"Oh, he went out to play with Zi Ling."
"I'm not letting you watch. What if I run away? Why don't Ziyue strangle me to death?" Yue Xi's scalp went numb after hearing this.
"Brother, didn't you say you were watching? I sent several of my men to watch secretly." Liu Zi was confused.
"Oh my God, each of these, please tell your people to invite them back. At least come with them openly and don't cause any trouble to me again, brother."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away. Oh, brother, there's a manager who calls himself Hongtai, a large commercial firm in Wangjing, looking for you."
"Hongtai, I haven't been in contact with him before. You don't want to cooperate. You just need to receive him." Yue Xi was troubled, how could she be in such a mood.
"Brother, I guess the person who came here is evil. The young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Ciyu, is also here."
"Oh, that's it. Where is he?"
“Old shop on Yizi Street.”
"Okay, you go ahead and I'll go meet them." After Yue Xi finished speaking, she set off to go out.
Just as they were walking to the gate, the family's carriage just came back. Monkey helped Ziyue out of the car. It seemed that she had just come back, "Where have you two been? You came back so late." Yue Xi was very unhappy and coldly said.
asked.
The monkey said: "Oh, Brother Yue, my sister-in-law and I went to Principal Li to see if she could help find out about Ziling."
Yue Xi didn't even look at the monkey, but stared at Zi Yue: "I didn't ask you."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zi Yue explained: "Yue Xi, you misunderstood. Monkey happens to know Principal Li. Principal Li knows Director Wang of the Provincial Academic Affairs Department. I was wondering if I could inquire about Zi Ling."
At this time, the more she explained, the angrier she became. Yuexi said bluntly: "I misunderstood something. Didn't I say I would solve it? Why, I can't figure it out or something."
"That's not what I meant, Yuexi." Zi Yue was about to cry.
"Then let me in, don't embarrass me outside." She hated these words, and Ziyue held back her tears and ran in. Monkey and Yue Xi were left at the door. Yue Xi felt a little regretful, but it was a pity that she was so embarrassed.
After all, he could not suppress the inexplicable evil fire in his heart, and said ruthless words to the monkey: "The house has been chaotic enough recently, so please don't cause trouble for me. Your own body is also in a mess. At this time, just stay at home."
Cultivate yourself and stop making trouble, okay? I think my reputation is not bad enough."
The monkey looked at Yue Xi, said nothing, and walked away silently. Yue Xi got on the carriage, closed the door, and asked the coachman to take him to Yizi Street. In the carriage, he was a little annoyed. What happened when he came back this time?
