Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow, looked at the patient's condition, and said, "What else can we do? We're just second-year interns, and we don't know anything about neurosurgery. We can only wait."

So we waited there for two minutes, but we didn't just stand there. We treated the wound on his head, but due to our lack of experience, there was not much we could do.

However, during this time, I noticed faint black veins on the patient's neck. At first, I thought they were tattoos on his body, but upon closer inspection, I realized they were not.

Just as I was wondering, Dr. Zhang pushed open the door to the emergency room and walked in.

"What is the patient's condition?"

"I suffered a severe blow to the head, my skull is caved in, and my heart is beating with a murmur," I said.

Dr. Zhang put on his stethoscope and listened to the patient's heartbeat. He found that there was indeed a murmur, but halfway through listening, his eyes were drawn to the black veins on the patient's neck.

"OK! Now everyone listen to me, keep your hands off the patient and don't touch them!" Dr. Zhang frowned as he finished speaking and then stared at me, asking, "Xiao Lu, did you forget something? Tell me, what is this?"

Everyone in the emergency room was stunned.

Looking at Dr. Zhang's solemn expression, and then staring at the black veins, I had a guess in my mind and said, "I don't know if I'm right."

"Tell me about it," Dr. Zhang said, looking at me.

I glanced at Zhou Yang and said, "His condition seems to be caused by the Ehrlich virus. At first, I thought his optic nerve damage might be due to a severe blow to the head, but now it seems to be caused by the Ehrlich virus. But isn't this virus supposed to be infective to humans?"

Indeed, the Erin virus first appeared on a farm in Europe in 2016, and at the time, virologists said that the virus would not be transmitted to humans.

Dr. Zhang said, "That was a couple of days ago. The World Health Organization issued a statement saying that the Erin virus can now infect humans, and thirteen cases have been confirmed in North America. I originally thought it would take some time for the virus to spread to Asia, but I didn't expect it to appear now."

“But there are many reasons why blood vessels turn black, it’s not necessarily the herin virus,” I asked.

Dr. Zhang said, "Whether it is true or not, the patient's reaction is questionable, and that's enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the emergency room panicked.

My heart suddenly skipped a beat. I remembered what Su Ming had said to me on the phone three days ago. Could it be that he wasn't joking with me?

But how did he know?

Looking at the panicked crowd, Dr. Zhang calmly said, "There's no need for everyone to panic now. We don't know how the Erin virus spreads among humans yet. It could be airborne or transmitted through bodily fluids. So right now, the most important thing is to contain the source of infection and prevent others from getting infected."

Hearing this, I glanced at Zhou Yang; his hand had just been bitten by a patient!

Zhou Yang's face was deathly pale, clearly because he was afraid of being infected as well.

"Xiao Lu, go and notify the CDC to come over right now. Zhou Yang, go and notify the police outside, then pull down the gates and seal off the entire emergency room. Under no circumstances should anyone in the emergency room leave, understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Zhou Yangxian said hurriedly, and then ran out.

I also went to notify the people from the CDC to come over.

There's nothing we can do about it. If the Erin virus is highly contagious, then it's possible that everyone in the entire emergency room has already been infected.

At times like this, it would be a crime to ask anyone to leave.

Therefore, extreme measures are the only option.

Just as I was notifying the CDC, Zhou Yang had already notified the police and control room, and all the gates in the emergency room were lowered, sealing off the entire emergency room.

...

At the time, I thought this matter would be over soon.

But this is just the beginning. Just like Su Ming told me on the phone three days ago, the world has changed.
