Chapter 412 There is still one person who can
Gu Jiayue felt that the guesses in his heart were like a huge rock pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
She didn't dare to express this terrible idea, fearing that once she did, it would cause the already frightened villagers to fall into complete panic.
A contagious disease, a disease whose source cannot even be found! What will these villagers do when they find out?
Will they become suspicious of each other and fight to protect themselves? What will they do with the sick people?
She didn't dare to think any further.
But if we say nothing and allow the disease to spread, the scope of infection will become wider and wider, and the entire Annan County, no, even the entire Juzhou City may be empty!
She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and strode to Doctor Lin and the village chief, her voice trembling slightly. "Lin Yi! Village chief!"
The two people who were called looked up at her at the same time.
Lin Yi's face was full of fatigue, with dark circles under his eyes. He was obviously worried for a long time, but he still pretended to listen to her seriously.
"Jiayue?" The village chief spoke first, his eyes full of concern. "You look so bad, are you feeling unwell?"
Gu Jiayue shook her head, her tone solemn. "I'm in good health, but I have a discovery!"
Almost at the same time, Doctor Lin also spoke, "I also have a discovery!"
Could it be that the two of them had the same idea?
Gu Jiayue and Dr. Lin looked at each other and saw the fear of the unknown in each other's eyes.
Gu Jiayue said first: "I just asked Hu Zi to go to the county town, and he found that many people in the county town also had the same symptoms as the children in our village, vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever."
Doctor Lin took over, speaking with difficulty, "I've seen similar symptoms described in an ancient medical book before. It starts like a common cold: fever, cough, and dizziness. But in the middle and late stages, a variety of symptoms appear, but they all ultimately affect the lungs, turning them into a white, flocculent mass. Ultimately... there's no way to save them."
"I just carefully examined several children and found that two of them had similar signs in their lungs."
Clang——
The teacup in the village chief's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The scalding tea splashed on his trouser legs but he was completely unaware.
He is not a worldly-wise man. Having been the village chief for so many years, he has experienced a lot and has much more knowledge and vision than ordinary villagers.
He instantly understood what the two people meant, his lips trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.
"Do you think... this disease... is... is..." He didn't dare to say the word "plague".
He knew very well what those two words meant.
It represents death, it represents that there is no cure, it represents that the people around you will fall one after another, and in the end there may only be dead silence.
He couldn't help but think of the plague he had experienced as a child. His family members had left him one by one, and in the end he was the only one left in the family.
He will never forget that despair and fear.
He clenched his hands tightly together, his knuckles turning white from the force, and kept telling himself not to panic, not to get confused. He was the head of the village, and the villagers were watching him. All matters were waiting for his decision.
He looked at Lin Yi, "Is your conclusion accurate? Can you guarantee its authenticity?"
Lin Yi shook his head. "I'm not very proficient in this area of medicine. I can only say that I'm 70% sure."
70%? That's not enough!
The village chief's heart sank.
You must know that if this news is released, it will definitely cause great panic.
If it is finally discovered that it is not a plague, then the person who leaked the news will definitely be torn to pieces by the angry people!
But if we leave it alone and allow the disease to continue to spread, the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Plague, no one can escape!
Just when the village chief was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, Gu Yuchuan rushed in. With a strange look on his face, he said to Gu Jiayue, "Jiayue, come out for a moment."
Gu Jia didn’t know what was wrong with Gu Yuchuan, but he didn’t look well. Could it be that Yuchuan’s condition was serious?
She quickly followed him to the corner of the yard. "Second brother, what's going on?"
Gu Yuchuan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He lowered his voice and said hurriedly, "That thing in my head just now told me that a major infectious disease will break out in the entire southwest! If it is not stopped in time, there will be very serious consequences. Maybe... many people will die."
Gu Jiayue didn't expect that in the end it was Gu Yuchuan who indirectly confirmed the news.
She felt dizzy and her whole body was shaky, almost unable to stand.
The experiences of the past four years in the previous life came flooding back to my mind like a tide. Those painful things that I didn't want to recall suddenly appeared in my mind, as clear as if they happened yesterday.
Only then did he realize that those memories were not forgotten by him, but were simply sealed away deeply.
That year, there were three students in their class who never appeared in the classroom again and remained in that winter forever.
During those years, so many people worked day and night, and so many medical staff fought on the front line, and finally the disease was brought to an end.
Four whole years!
Modern times, whose efficiency, technology, and medical expertise far surpassed those of Dagan, still took four years to bring the epidemic under control. What about Dagan?
How long will it take to control the big move?
Or is there no chance of controlling it at all?
She took a deep breath, holding onto the pillar next to her to force herself to calm down, a hint of hope in her eyes: "Since your system told you there would be an epidemic, did it tell you how to solve it?"
Gu Yuchuan nodded, a complicated look on his face. "Yes! It said that as long as I complete the task, it will tell me the solution to the epidemic and make me famous forever."
Completed the task?
Gu Jiayue reacted instantly. Wasn’t the system’s mission to kill her?
She chuckled. Using her life to exchange for the lives of millions of people is really a good deal, isn't it?
The system is willing to reveal this matter, and it is not difficult to guess what it is planning.
She wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and let Gu Jiayue die on her own!
Gu Jiayue even anticipated that if she disagreed, it might have other ways to tell the news to more people.
Those people are not Gu Yuchuan. They don't care whether she lives or not.
But the system calculated it wrong. Gu Jiayue cherishes her life very much and will not die easily!
She was one of the volunteers fighting on the front line back then, and she remembers all the epidemic prevention procedures and precautions clearly.
Coupled with his reputation in Taohua Village, she was completely helpless!
But the most important thing now is to figure out which medicines can be used to control the epidemic!
What medicines did you use in your previous life?
She hurriedly called the system in her mind, opened the system mall, and slid her fingers across the virtual screen, trying to find the right medicine.
But she searched again and again, and searched every corner of the mall, but couldn't find it.
"System, why is there no medicine to treat the epidemic?"
"Host, because our level is not high enough, the system mall is not fully open." The system's voice was a little helpless. "What we can see and use now are all things that can actively help us with our mission. The medicine for the epidemic you mentioned is a special item that requires a very high score and a targeted system to carry. We are an education system, not a medical system, so we don't have these things."
With every word the system spoke, Gu Jiayue's mood grew heavier, until it felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Then is there a prescription? Basic epidemic prevention prescriptions will do." She continued to ask without giving up.
"Yes, there are basic epidemic prevention prescriptions in the system mall," the system replied. "But so far, you don't know what causes this infectious disease or what its specific symptoms are. Basic epidemic prevention prescriptions can only play a certain preventive role and cannot provide treatment for those already infected! Moreover, because the cause of the epidemic is unknown, the effectiveness of the defense will be greatly reduced!"
"There's another more practical problem," the system's voice sounded even more helpless. "You've just experienced a six-month drought. Even if I could come up with a prescription, you wouldn't be able to find the corresponding herbs to make medicine! There are some herbs for sale in the mall, but host, you have no education points!"
"I understand. You can give me the basic epidemic prevention prescription on credit, and I'll figure out the herbal medicine myself."
From the very beginning, Gu Jiayue knew that the system was not omnipotent, so she rarely relied on the system to do anything.
But this time, she wished the system was omnipotent.
But the system's answer made her heart sink to the bottom.
She took a deep breath, moved the muscles around her lips, and tried to make her voice sound calmer.
He turned around and went back to the house to find Lin Yi. "Lin Yi, is there really no way at all? Even if there is only a little bit of hope, it would be fine."
Lin Yi shook his head. "As I said earlier, my main focus isn't on epidemics, and I haven't done much research on this. But if I can find the source of the epidemic and understand what caused it, I should be able to try to find the right medicine and come up with a prescription to control the condition."
Do we want to find the source of the epidemic?
Gu Jiayue thought about the people she knew over and over again, and finally found that only Dr. Lin was a professional doctor and only he was capable of doing this.
But he has to take care of so many patients now and has no time to find the source.
Although he has taught many children medical knowledge in the past six months, learning medicine is not something that can be done overnight. Those children are still at the stage of learning about herbs and are of no help at all.
So, she is the only one who can do the task of finding the source of the epidemic!
No, there is another person who can do it!
