Chapter 138 Plague Outbreak
The sound of movement in the distance made Gu Luan and Jiang Xian look over.
Seeing the chaos over there getting out of control, both of them frowned.
Eventually it got messy.
“The plague has broken out.”
Gu Luan knew this step would come.
But I didn't expect it to break out under such difficult circumstances.
If we were at the base now, the plague might be easier to control.
They had just escaped, the crowd was scattered and it was easy to get out of control.
Once the plague spreads, the military will have no way of suppressing so many people.
There were people running around everywhere.
Some people also ran towards Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
The two of them quickly dodged and dared not contact these people.
Gu Luan took out alcohol and sprayed it on Jiang Xian, and then gave them both medicine to prevent the plague.
Although they are healthier than others, they dare not be careless.
"Let's see what the situation is."
The two found a quiet place and stopped again.
Jiang Xian would check the situation nearby from time to time, fearing that he would be attacked by those dead rats.
Fortunately, this area is relatively clean, except for some disgusting bugs.
Another night has arrived.
The temporary resting place was much quieter.
It seemed that the plague was under control.
Professor Hou had just finished seeing those patients and now had time to go back to the tent to rest.
He is over seventy years old and cannot compete with the young people.
After a busy day, if you don’t take a rest, your body won’t be able to bear it.
After finally getting a break, Professor Hou looked worried.
Thinking about the urgently needed medicine, I didn’t know what to do.
Although the base has a lot of Chinese and Western medicines, there are too many people.
Because they were prepared, the plague was contained and controlled in time.
If there is a subsequent shortage of medicine, the situation is likely to get out of control.
And what if the plague spreads among those who escape?
"Professor Hou."
Just as Professor Hou closed his eyes and thought of a solution, a familiar female voice sounded behind him.
Professor Hou opened his eyes, looked back, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
At some point, two people in protective suits appeared behind him.
I can't see their appearance, I can only tell from their body shape that they are a man and a woman
Who are they and what do they want from him?
When did they appear in his resting place?
"Who are you?"
Professor Hou spoke in confusion.
The voice sounded familiar, had he heard it somewhere before?
Professor Hou thought carefully but still couldn't remember.
"Professor Hou, there are things left for you one hundred meters southwest. I hope you can use them to save more people."
After Jiang Xian finished speaking, he said "please" to Gu Luan again, then turned and left the tent.
Professor Hou was stunned by what the two said.
By the time he reacted and opened the tent to look for people, he could no longer find any trace of them.
Medical staff in protective suits were everywhere.
Professor Hou simply couldn't find those two people among these people.
"Professor, you've been tired all day, why don't you take a rest?"
A medical staff member came over, watched Professor Hou walk out of the tent, and asked with concern.
Professor Hou's mouth twitched slightly. He just said, "I'll take a break for a while," and walked away to another place.
He needed to find someone to check if there was anything left for them in the southwest.
What would those two people have left behind?
More than ten minutes later, a group of soldiers escorted Professor Hou and several other experts to a place one hundred meters southwest.
"What's this? Are they trying to fool us?"
An expert took a casual look but saw nothing.
"There seems to be something over there."
A soldier discovered something and shone a flashlight over there.
More than a dozen containers were neatly placed on the open space, and no one knew what was inside.
Professor Hou was excited and ran over quickly.
Several soldiers opened a container.
The scent of green grass and medicinal herbs instantly spread in the air.
“Is this a herbal medicine?”
An expert widened his eyes, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and walked forward with a fresh herb.
"They are really herbs, and they were just unearthed not long ago."
"Just unearthed? Lao Qin, are you kidding me?"
Another expert came over.
When he saw the herbs in the container in front of him, he was speechless.
"Really? It's real! Where else can so many herbs be grown? More than ten containers, at least a million kilograms!"
When all the containers were opened, everyone present showed expressions of shock and joy.
There is a serious shortage of medicines now, especially medicines to treat the plague, which are simply not enough.
They checked carefully and found that most of these herbs were Chinese herbal medicines for treating plague.
It was delivered to them so promptly. Who on earth did this good deed without leaving his name?
"Mr. Hou, did you see who it was?"
An officer in his thirties walked up to Professor Hou and asked him seriously.
"I don't know. They were wearing protective clothing. I only know they were a young man and woman."
Professor Hou shook his head. Something suddenly flashed through his mind and his pupils shrank slightly. "Could it be that couple?"
He finally remembered where he had heard those two familiar voices!
Their voices were very similar to those of the man and woman he met when he was collecting herbs in the mountains two days ago.
It must be them!
They were the ones who told him that rats would cause trouble.
It's just that the time was too short and they didn't have time to prepare countermeasures.
They must have brought so many herbs to the base because they wanted to save more people.
Professor Hou murmured, "Good man!"
"Mr. Hou, what's that couple? Do you know them?"
the officer asked eagerly, looking back at the nearly twenty containers.
Who on earth has the ability to move so many containers here?
Who is so powerful that he can plant millions of kilograms of herbs in the apocalypse?
How much land is needed to grow so many herbs?
Growing herbs takes time.
The most important thing is that most of the things here are medicinal herbs for fighting the plague.
Do they know something?
For some reason, the officer suddenly thought of the mysterious woman who predicted the end of the world.
Like the mysterious woman, will the mysterious man and woman have anything to do with her?
These capable people usually don't want to show themselves in public.
But he always stands up quietly in times of crisis.
Deserve everyone's admiration and respect.
"I don't know them. I just know they are nameless heroes."
Professor Hou wanted to meet that extraordinary man and woman. "It was they who reminded me last time that rats would riot, but it was too late."
"Is it them?"
The young officer was shocked and speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Since they are unwilling to expose themselves, we should not think about finding them."
Professor Hou said in a deep voice, glanced at the rest area, and then looked around.
He thought that the man and woman might be in the temporary resting area of the base, or they might have already left.
No matter what, they are good people and heroes.
"Mr. Hou is right."
The officer nodded and sighed silently.
Even if he wanted to look for them, he would definitely not be able to find them.
It is not easy for a powerful person to be found if he wants to hide.
