Shen Liwu put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head gently, and said in a calm tone, "Commander, you are too polite. This is what I should do. And the commander has given a lot, I will do my best."
The commander nodded, and his expression eased a little, but his brows were still slightly furrowed, obviously the worry in his heart had not completely dissipated.
He turned to look at Madam Guan, his tone gentle but with a hint of unquestionable firmness, "Sister-in-law, don't work too hard. Chen Yu's health is important, but you have to take care of yourself too. If you need anything, just tell me directly."
Mrs. Guan nodded, her eyes lowered, her hands unconsciously twisted together, her fingertips white, "I see, thank you for your concern, big brother."
The commander sat down and sighed, "Beijing may be in big trouble. The hospital just sent a message that thousands of people have caught a severe cold, with coughs, fevers, weakness, and rashes on the skin. Medicines and injections can't make it go away. It's also highly contagious, and people are coming to the hospital one after another. Sigh!"
Shen Liwu's expression froze instantly, her fingertips unconsciously pinched the edge of the teacup, the tea swayed slightly in the cup, reflecting her furrowed brows. She looked up at the commander, her voice low and urgent, "What is the specific situation? Are the isolation measures in the hospital in place?"
The commander shook his head, a look of deep worry between his brows. "The quarantine area is full, but the number of patients is still increasing. The hospital is seriously understaffed and medicines are beginning to run out. Most importantly, the disease spreads too quickly, and even some medical staff have been infected."
He paused, and his eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping at Shen Liwu's face, "Doctor Shen, I know you are proficient in pharmacology, I wonder if you have any way to treat this disease?"
Shen Liwu's fingers gently stroked the edge of the teacup, and his eyes gradually became focused and sharp, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, she spoke slowly, her voice low and calm, "I passed by yesterday and met a patient with similar symptoms to what you described. I didn't expect it to spread so quickly."
Shen Liwu looked at the commander firmly, "I need to take a look at the specific conditions of these patients, maybe I can find some clues."
The commander nodded, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "Doctor Shen, it's great that you are willing to help. I will arrange for someone to take you across the border, and the hospital will also cooperate with you."
"good."
Jiang Xichi stood up and said, "Me too."
Shen Liwu raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xichi, frowning slightly, “Mr. Jiang, this is not a trivial matter. You may be exposed to the virus. You don’t have to take risks.”
Jiang Xichi just smiled faintly and looked at her firmly, "Doctor Shen, don't forget that I am also a researcher, and I also have the responsibility to contribute to society. Besides, you are fighting on the front line, and I am supporting you in the rear. I will not let you fight alone."
Shen Liwu was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, “Since you insist, let’s go together.”
Seeing this, the commander waved his hand and said, "Xi Chi, it's okay for you. It's always good to have more helpers around Dr. Shen. I'll arrange a car to take you to the hospital."
Shen Liwu was afraid of infection, so she wore a mask herself and gave one to Jiang Xichi.
Only after coming to the hospital did she realize the severity of this cold. There were so many people infected.
The hospital corridors were packed with people, and the air was filled with a suffocating smell of disinfectant and herbs.
