Chapter 295 Plague Outbreak
Another night, Han Ying and Lu Yuan were looking at the cactus in Villa 1107, and a rustling sound came from the intercom placed aside.
It’s Lei Minghu.
After the call was connected, Lei Minghu said that there were five people in military uniforms in front of their house, who said they wanted to register the population and supplies in the house.
We will help them transfer supplies when the base moves, but now each family needs to pay a deposit of 100 kilograms of food first.
Lei Minghu called to ask Han Ying and the others if they had heard about this matter.
He always felt that it was impossible for the base to publicly announce the relocation and transfer of supplies so early.
Lu Yuan asked Lei Minghu to calm those people down first while he consulted the top leaders of the base.
As soon as Lu Yuan hung up the intercom, Han Ying was connected to Gu Yuanping's channel.
"Deputy Base Commander, there are five soldiers at Villa 1208 in Area D who want to collect 100 kilograms of food as a deposit to help move the supplies when the base is relocated. I want to ask if this is true?"
After the intercom was connected, Han Ying told Gu Yuanping everything in one breath.
"How is that possible? I'll send someone over right away, you guys hold the person steady first!"
Gu Yuanping was dumbfounded when he heard Han Ying's words. What was going on?
Has the news that the base is planning to relocate spread like wildfire within the base?
It is clear that the advance troops they sent to Jiangcheng have not returned yet.
How did this news spread so quickly?
This matter could be a big or small matter, so Gu Yuanping immediately sent people to 1208 to arrest the five people.
After being brought back to the military prison, Gu Yuanping personally interrogated him.
These five people were fake soldiers. When they were digging the rubble, they found a box of military supplies, so they thought of impersonating soldiers to steal supplies.
Before coming to Lei Minghu's house, these five people had already defrauded six families and got 600 kilograms of grain.
600 kilograms of grain is already a considerable fortune in today's world.
But these five people tasted the sweetness.
They thought they could earn another 400 kilograms of grain before stopping.
In this way, each of the five of them can get 200 kilograms.
As for the news of the base relocation, the five people actually overheard it from several soldiers who were resting while rummaging through the ruins.
Gu Yuanping felt terrible when he found out that the information was leaked by someone in his own company.
Walls have ears. As strict soldiers, they don't even understand this truth.
After asking about the place where they heard the news that day, Gu Yuanping found the team on duty nearby.
I don’t know who leaked the information, but everyone in the team was punished.
Finally, four people came forward to admit their mistakes, saying that they had let the secret slip during the conversation.
So these four people were sent by Gu Yuanping to the front line to clean up the corpses. If anyone was dissatisfied, they could leave the team.
However, they all expressed their willingness to accept punishment.
Han Ying and the others didn't know these details, and there was no need for Gu Yuanping to tell them.
He only said on the intercom that those fake soldiers were sent to labor camps, and he didn't say anything else.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not ask much about the relocation or transfer of materials.
Maybe Gu Yuanping would say something if asked, but Han Ying and the others planned to wait until the advance team returned before considering it.
After this incident, the four families continued to stay at home.
Han Ying is tinkering with the constant temperature clothing. She wants to use it to make a few pairs of socks and gloves.
Although she has learned to make simple clothes, her skills in making delicate items such as socks and gloves are not yet developed.
So these days, Han Ying has been trying to make socks and gloves using some ordinary fabrics.
Every day after the sun sets, Lu Yuan would carry a sprayer and spray all around the villa.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is a step that cannot be skipped for safety reasons.
That night, after coming out of the space, the two took a shower and were setting up tables and chairs in the room to make dumplings.
But other places in the base were gloomy at this time, especially the medical point.
Many people have suffered from diarrhea in the past two days.
Although the conditions are not good now, everyone still pays great attention to imported things.
The water provided to the wounded at the base is also boiled. We are not afraid of boiling it repeatedly, but we are afraid that parasite eggs will appear again after the water cools down.
But despite such caution, many people in the base still suffered from diarrhea.
These people not only had extremely severe diarrhea, they had to defecate more than ten times a day, but nothing came out and they even excreted blood.
This can be fatal.
Not only that, some people have a lot of spots on their bodies.
Seeing the spots on those people's bodies reminded everyone of the blue spots on the body when infected with the T1 virus.
However, the spots this time are different from those infected with the T1 virus. These spots are dark red and extremely itchy.
Even scratching the skin won't stop the itching.
The entire medical station was extremely busy, and every medical staff member wished they could be split into ten parts.
The original medical station collapsed after the earthquake, and the current one is just a temporary one.
So the conditions are very limited and the space is also limited.
Therefore, those who suffered external injuries in the earthquake were sent back home to recuperate after receiving medicine.
The people at the medical station intuitively felt that the situations that had occurred in the past two days were probably related to the earthquake.
Therefore, the direction of exploration is towards the epidemic.
Sure enough, those who had spots on their bodies were because they were bitten by mosquitoes.
Those mosquitoes may have crawled over the corpses in the ruins, sucked their food, and then came to bite humans, thus spreading the germs on the corpses into the human body.
These people with spots on their bodies are relatively well off. Apart from the unusual itching, no other further symptoms have been found for the time being.
As for those who had diarrhea, the base found out that most of them had gone through the ruins and come into contact with corpses in the past two days.
I think these people inexplicably became carriers of the plague virus when they were rummaging through the ruins.
Their excrement has a very strong ability to spread viruses. If it is thrown everywhere, there is a high chance that the virus will be transmitted to others.
In other words, now in addition to the risk of being infected with the plague in the ruins, even going to a public toilet may carry the risk of infection.
Han Ying and the others didn't know about these things, but Gu Yuanping told them not to go out unless they had enough supplies.
Even when going to the toilet, people should avoid going to public toilets as they are said to have become a source of infection.
Upon hearing the news, Han Ying and Lu Yuan were shocked.
Who would have thought that you could get sick just by going to a public toilet?
But can public toilets be closed?
It must not be sealed, otherwise everyone will throw their excrement everywhere, and the entire base will become the source of infection.
Han Ying and her colleagues told Lei Minghu and others the news and asked them to temporarily pack the waste in bags and then take them out after a few days while wearing protective clothing and masks.
