Chapter 204 What if we get infected?
The entire camp was busy until the second half of the night before it gradually quieted down, but some complaints could still be heard from time to time. Obviously, everyone thought Bai Yu'an was making trouble.
Bai Yu'an found some experienced old military doctors such as Yang Heng. They also felt that Bai Yu'an was making a fuss out of nothing and their attitude towards Bai Yu'an was obviously perfunctory.
After that, Yang Heng sent Bai Yu'an back.
"Second Young Master," he struggled to speak until he reached the door, "Could it be that you... made a mistake?"
Bai Yu'an remained firm, "Impossible."
"Oh!" Yang Heng sighed. He was afraid that Bai Yu'an had made a mistake, which would only cause stronger resistance among the entire Bai family army.
However, he was more afraid that Bai Yu'an was not mistaken. Then... could they still go back alive?
"Uncle Yang," Bai Yu'an said with a serious expression, looking into Yang Heng's eyes earnestly. "I know no one believes me, but Uncle Yang, this is the first time I've asked you for help since I started practicing medicine. You must believe me. We must be fully prepared, otherwise... the entire Bai Family Army will really... never be able to return."
"Okay!" Yang Heng quickly made up his mind. "No matter what others say or think, you're the one I interact with the most, and I believe you're not the kind of person who would do anything reckless."
He stepped forward and patted Bai Yu'an on the shoulder, "From now on, I will hand myself and the entire Bai Family Army over to you."
Bai Yu'an watched Yang Heng walk away. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, but... could he really live up to everyone's disappointment?
Little Tuanzi had been sleeping restlessly, so when Bai Yu'an came back, she sat up in a daze.
"Second brother," she called out in a baby voice, "You're finally back."
"Yes." Bai Yu'an hesitated for a moment, then went over and sat next to Li Suining. "Li Suining, thank you. This time, if I can save everyone and reverse the outcome, you will be the biggest contributor."
"No, it's not." Little Dumpling was still very sleepy, and he leaned on Bai Yu'an in a daze, and said softly, "Second brother, you are the biggest contributor."
Bai Yu'an smiled and shook his head. At this point, he really began to like this little guy.
But this time...can he trust her completely?
Starting from the next day, the Northern Barbarians launched another surprise attack. Bai Yunfeng, Bai Shi'an and others fought back with all their might to buy more opportunities for the Bai family army to recuperate.
Bai Yu'an went to the wounded soldiers' camp early in the morning, but he didn't expect that three more wounded soldiers had died of vomiting blood last night.
"Is there a plague?" some soldiers asked tentatively while coughing.
Everyone looked at Bai Yu'an and Yang Heng.
Bai Yu'an hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. This matter could not be concealed, and these wounded soldiers would know it sooner or later.
"This is retribution!" someone suddenly shouted.
Soon, many people responded.
"You're right. This kind of natural and man-made disaster is God's punishment for us and for you, Bai Yu'an."
"You are so selfish. Even God can't stand using a child to test medicine. You have caused us to suffer. Get out of here. We don't need your treatment!"
"Yes, go away. You can't cure us anyway. If you leave, our illness will naturally heal."
For a time, everyone in the wounded camp wanted Bai Yu'an to get out, believing that this plague that came out of nowhere was a punishment for Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yu'an did not refute or argue. He just did what he had to do. The first people he had to save were still the guys in the wounded camp.
"Alright, stop messing around." Yang Heng couldn't stand it any longer. "No one wants a plague to happen. This talk of retribution and divine punishment is pure nonsense. Only if you cooperate well can you be cured as soon as possible and return alive."
Yang Heng's words had some effect, but the wounded soldiers still had a very bad attitude towards Bai Yu'an. Whenever Bai Yu'an examined them, they would scold and curse him.
But from beginning to end, Bai Yu'an never resisted. He still followed his principles and treated these people wholeheartedly.
However, as time went by, something that no one could accept happened: more and more people in the barracks had fever and cough, and people vomited blood and died every day.
In fact, the deaths were not just from the wounded camp.
Bai Yu'an and Yang Heng looked at the latest number of patients in their hands, and their faces looked very ugly.
Bai Yu'an realized that his initial idea did not work completely and they needed further action.
"Deputy General Huang," but before that, he felt he had to clarify something. "Can you explain it?"
He recorded the number of patients in the past few days. Although many people under the command of other deputy generals also started to have fever, the number of patients under the command of Deputy General Huang doubled almost every day.
Deputy General Huang's expression changed slightly, his eyes evading, "I don't understand what the Second Young Master means. What do you want me to explain?"
"Do you want to kill everyone?" Bai Yu'an felt something was wrong, so he sent someone to investigate. "These past few days, your soldiers have been drinking water directly from the well, right?"
Deputy General Huang looked a little embarrassed. "I... I didn't expect this to happen. Could it be... that the disease really came from the water in the well?"
He was a little unconvinced, "But even though my soldiers got sick the most, didn't their men get sick too? They didn't drink the water directly from the well, but didn't the result remain the same?"
"Same? Look, your number of people infected is four or five times that of others. You call this the same result?" Bai Yu'an was furious.
Deputy General Huang lowered his head in frustration and stopped talking.
Indeed, he did not expect this result. Moreover, there were too many people and it seemed that things were out of control.
"Second Young Master, what should we do now?" Yang Heng asked tentatively, "If this continues, the Bai family army...will really be wiped out."
"Separate them!" Bai Yu'an has been studying information these days. He knows that there is another possible route of transmission, which is breathing.
"What do you mean?" Yang Heng didn't quite understand.
"From now on, the entire camp will be divided into two parts. Those infected and those who are not infected must be separated." Bai Yu'an said with some difficulty, "I suspect that eating or talking together may also spread the plague."
"How could this happen?" Everyone in the tent changed their expressions.
Bai Yu'an continued, "Also, anyone entering the infected area must wear a face covering, and once inside, they are not allowed to leave at will."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"What about us?" An older military doctor was the first to question, "Are we going to live in the infected area? What if we get infected?"
