Chapter 536 I'm Going to Hit You
If I acknowledge you, you are someone I care about; if I don't, even if we share the same blood, we will still be strangers.
It must be said that Xiao Baihui's words carried considerable weight.
He instructed the locals to send the supplies and doctors up the mountain early the next morning, and the supplies arrived at the summit as scheduled the following day.
Considering the difficult mountain roads and transportation challenges, these people directly deployed more than a dozen helicopters from the province that were closest to the location to transport the goods, making repeated landings and departures.
The appearance of these planes inevitably disturbed the tribespeople who dared not go out.
After learning that these planes were delivering supplies to them, the restless hearts of some people were effectively calmed down.
People can wait, but they fear waiting without seeing the future. The appearance of these airplanes gave them a glimmer of hope.
Surprisingly, Academician Liu and his entourage, who were predicted by Fengtianyu to arrive at noon that day, actually arrived right after the supplies.
As soon as they landed, the elderly man with white hair rushed out and grabbed Shi Lang's hand to ask what was going on.
After learning that his younger brother was the expert in this field, he then turned to Shi Yuyan for further questioning.
Fortunately, Shi Yuyan had already learned about the situation from everyone the night before, and she answered almost every question the old man asked.
They were overjoyed to learn that they had brought specialized testing reagents.
The elderly and the young didn't get along very well. After greeting the clan chief and others, they put on protective suits and went to collect samples for testing.
With specialized testing tools, the testing time is not too long, and results can be obtained in as little as an hour.
But for those waiting outside, that one hour was an extremely difficult one.
Wu Chi and the others prayed in their hearts that perhaps their people were not infected with this virus, but with another similar disease.
However, things often don't go as planned.
An hour later, the people involved came out, and everyone looked very serious.
The people guarding outside felt a sudden jolt of fear upon seeing this, and instantly all eyes turned to Shi Yuyan.
Shi Yuyan gritted her teeth and said truthfully, "After testing, they were indeed infected with the AIR virus."
Wu Chi and the others' expressions changed slightly, and the last bit of hope in their hearts was completely shattered.
Grandpa Wu swayed and almost fell, which startled Wu Yan, who quickly caught him: "Dad, you can't fall! They're all waiting for us to save their lives."
Grandpa Wu was reminded by his son and barely managed to cheer up.
That's right, his people are still waiting for them to save their lives. They are the leaders of the tribe. If they fall now, who will they be able to rely on?
"Doctor, what should we do now? One person died last night. They were all my people, many of them were still young and had never enjoyed any good fortune. They shouldn't have died like this. You have to save them!"
Even if Grandpa Wu hadn't said it, everyone knew that this was why they had come.
"What were the symptoms of the person who fell ill last night before they died? How many people were present at the time, and have these people been in contact with others? Have they been quarantined? How many people have been in contact with the patient in the past week? Generally speaking, the incubation period for this disease is only half a month, but under normal circumstances, early symptoms usually appear within three to four days. Have any of the people who were in contact with the patient already developed these symptoms?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chi frowned and cautiously asked, "What are the early symptoms you mentioned?"
"Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, and cold-like symptoms. In the middle stage, it can develop into high fever, body aches, and even skin discoloration. Finally, it can lead to vomiting blood. This is a sign of severe and critical illness. Generally, it is difficult to save the patient at this point. Even if the patient is saved, they will face sequelae such as organ failure, which will affect their lifespan. Therefore, this disease must be detected and treated early in order to have any chance of surviving."
Upon hearing Academician Liu's words, Wu Chi and the others' expressions changed slightly.
"The clansman who unfortunately passed away last night vomited a lot of blood before he died. He was bleeding from all seven orifices and his face looked terrible."
Were there many people present at the time?
"a lot of."
Upon learning that Wu Chi and the others were actually present at the scene, and that Grandpa Wu had even seen the patient up close, Academician Liu, without any regard for personal feelings, ordered them all to undergo testing.
Even if no infection results are found yet, the three people are ordered to be quarantined.
This is because the virus becomes highly contagious after a patient vomits blood.
Given that it was already a highly virulent virus, coupled with vomiting blood and the fact that no one at the scene was wearing masks or other protective measures, Academician Liu had already predicted that most people would be infected.
After hearing Academician Liu's explanation, Wu Chi and his two grandsons turned ashen-faced, yet they were helpless.
The immediate priority is to disinfect the entire village as soon as possible and identify those who have already shown early symptoms. They should be taken to receive treatment to stabilize their condition and prevent them from infecting more people.
Last night, the first group to be quarantined were the team members who returned to the village with Wu Chi. Some of these people have indeed started to show early symptoms, and some who were close to Uncle Li have even started to show mid-stage symptoms.
However, these people are scattered in various parts of the village, and they are still living with their families. How to get them out as quickly as possible and put them into the makeshift wards for treatment is a problem.
At the critical moment, Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu took the initiative to step forward.
"Let's go."
It wasn't that they were being reckless; among all the people present, only the two of them had special physical conditions and would never be infected by this virus.
Academician Liu and the others were taken aback, and then reminded them, "This is very dangerous."
“We know, but this danger is relative to you.” It doesn’t include the two of us.
Academician Liu, Shi Yuyan, and the others were taken aback again, only then remembering the special nature of the two, and a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.
"really?"
"We're not foolish enough to act tough at a time like this."
After a moment's hesitation, the group decided to trust them: "Okay, then we'll leave it to you."
Shi Yuyan was still somewhat worried. She stared at the two of them for a long while, hesitating to speak, before gritting her teeth and saying, "You...you must take care. Don't be afraid. Even if you are infected, I will definitely save you!"
Ye Wanxi: "???"
Feng Tianyu: "Heh!"
The crowd around: "..."
Shi Lang was so angry at his stupid younger brother that he laughed. He slapped him on the back of the head, making him stagger and almost fall.
Why did you hit me again!
"That's exactly what I'm going to do! You can't even say anything auspicious at a time like this, you deserve to get beaten up! If they really get cursed by your bad luck, just wait and see how I deal with you!"
