The moment Zhou Mi fainted in car F001, she called 120 (the emergency number in China) and Li Lechen's mother. Instead of rushing home from work, Li Lechen's mother went straight to the hospital. So, when the ambulance arrived at the hospital with Li Lechen, her mother arrived just in time.

As expected, what I feared most came to pass.

Li Lechen's mother felt particularly irritable today, so she was worried when he said he had to work overtime tonight. Luckily, Zhou Mi was there.

Of course, it's not something to be taken lightly when your son suddenly faints again, so Li Lechen's mother didn't even have time to thank Zhou Mi before rushing to the operating room.

At this moment, patient F001 was being wheeled into the operating room on a stretcher, and his previous medical records were quickly retrieved.

"There's an unexplained tumor in his brain, and he's fainted twice suddenly." The doctor quickly read through Li Lechen's medical record, then instructed the nurse, "Check his blood pressure!"

"Blood pressure is normal!" the nurse replied.

"Monitor heartbeat!"

"Electrocardiogram normal!"

"Perform an intracranial CT scan!"

"The CT scan showed no abnormalities."

The nurse was stunned as soon as she said "nothing unusual was found." How could there be nothing unusual? Wasn't it said there was a brain tumor? And it should have been less than three months ago, right?

The doctor was also stunned.

He wasn't Li Lechen's attending physician, so he didn't know much about Li Lechen's condition. But according to the medical records, the tumor was about the size of an egg. The patient had been in a deep coma for two months due to the pressure from this huge tumor and almost became a vegetable.

How could such a large tumor suddenly disappear in less than three months without surgery?

The tumor has disappeared, which is a good thing, but why has the patient fallen into a coma again?

So what should we do now?

Judging from the examination, the patient was as if he were asleep, and his heartbeat was even faster than that of a normal sleeping person, just like a normal awake person.

The nurse looked at the doctor.

The doctor looked bewildered.

This was the first time he had encountered such a strange emergency patient, leaving him completely at a loss as to how to proceed.

The doctors didn't know what to do, and the nurses knew even less.

But should we just stand there in the emergency room?

"Is it possible..." the nurse suddenly hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"you say."

"The SW18 virus... I've heard that some patients experience coma symptoms when they first fall ill, but no problems can be found in tests..."

Doctor: "Where did you hear that?! How could the symptoms of SW18 virus be like this? At the very least, there should be chills all over the body!"

Feeling cold all over...

The nurse then realized that they hadn't taken temperatures!

So they quickly used a thermometer to test the temperature of F001, who was lying on the bed.

The numbers on the thermometer kept changing. At first, it was normal, rising rapidly from 30 degrees Celsius like a normal person would. However, when it reached 35 degrees Celsius, it started to rise slowly by a fraction of a second.

This speed is a bit off.

It seems like it's about to stop.

"Beep beep!"

The thermometer made a sound because it stopped reading.

35.8 degrees? !

How is this possible?!

The nurse was completely stunned when she saw the temperature.

The doctor looked at his partner nurse with an expression that seemed to say, "You're not a newbie, how could you make such a basic mistake? You can't even take a temperature?"

Who doesn't know how to take their temperature? It's not a traditional thermometer, it's an electronic thermometer pen. Just tap your forehead and it shows your temperature, okay?

The thermometer must be broken!

The nurse was certain and immediately replaced the thermometer.

At this moment, F001 was lying on the stretcher, genuinely a little scared. He hadn't fainted, of course; he was just forcing himself to close his eyes, not resisting any actions, pretending as if he had passed out.

But in reality, it's very difficult to do that.

The human body has an innate defense mechanism. When faced with danger, it will subconsciously increase its heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and mental tension.

Therefore, it's generally impossible to fake fainting convincingly.

It was thanks to Li Lechen's previous experience of suddenly fainting for no apparent reason that F001 was still able to lie there safely.

As for body temperature, it was thanks to the high level of tension that F001's normal body temperature was only 34 degrees Celsius.

I really don't know why this is, maybe it's due to mutations over two thousand years. Because the difference is only two or three degrees, you can't feel it with normal contact, but you can detect it with a thermometer.

Most people get sick when they have a high temperature, such as 39 or 40 degrees Celsius, but it's rare to get a low temperature. However, the SW18 virus is one of the symptoms of cold skin.

Could it really be the SW18 virus?

When the nurse used a third thermometer and the reading was still 35.8 degrees Celsius, both she and the doctor were stunned.

No one dares to be negligent at a time like this.

The nurse immediately took out a full set of protective clothing from the cabinet, and she and the doctor put them on. Then they quickly sealed off the emergency room and activated the level two orange alert.

For the SW18 virus, which has been confirmed to be extremely dangerous, major hospitals across the country have established comprehensive emergency response measures. If the patient requiring emergency care had presented with vomiting and coughing, they would have been immediately isolated and treated. However, the problem is that this patient had no symptoms other than fever.

However, the terrifying aspect of the SW18 virus is its extremely high mutability; who knows if it has mutated again now?
