"mom."
Li Lechen called out to his mother, who was intently watching the accident ahead.
Zhou Lifen was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then met her son's serious and earnest gaze.
"Put this on."
Li Lechen handed a face mask to his mother.
Zhou Lifen was somewhat puzzled; she had no recollection of packing a mask into her luggage before leaving home. Moreover, this mask was quite elaborate, not just an ordinary cotton one.
Indeed, this mask is quite extraordinary. Li Lechen bought it from the mall for 500 Sunshine Coins. Wearing it can block 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, far exceeding the effectiveness of a gas mask.
In fact, this mask is just a beautified version of a gas mask. Not only does it not look strange, but it also looks very nice. It once led the fashion trend, and everyone on the streets wore it.
Although Zhou Lifen accepted the mask, she was still puzzled: "What's wrong? Why are you wearing this?"
Li Lechen had already put one on himself first, and then made up an excuse, saying, "Don't you think it smells awful?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lifen subconsciously sniffed hard.
Suddenly, she smelled a disgusting, sour stench that hit her nostrils and almost made her vomit.
It really stinks!
Zhou Lifen quickly put on her mask, took another deep breath, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the air was incredibly fresh, just like breathing in the wild.
Is it because of the mask?
Or is it just psychological?
Anyway, it's so comfortable, so I don't care what the reason is, I'll just wear it.
Other people's business is ultimately their business. Although Zhang Yifei was very frustrated at the moment and was still scratching his chest, since nothing else happened, the passengers who were watching the commotion returned to their own affairs after a while.
The flight attendants in charge of cleaning worked efficiently and finished cleaning in less than ten minutes.
Although everything seemed fine on the surface, the person sitting in front of Zhang Yifei was still a little uncomfortable. After all, he had just vomited so much on the back of the chair; it looked clean, but the bacteria were definitely still there. He didn't want to sit back down for a moment.
After making the announcement, the flight attendant contacted the airport where the plane had landed, informing them that a passenger on board had fallen seriously ill. The passenger briefly described the symptoms and asked if a doctor could provide immediate treatment.
There's still an hour before the plane lands.
At this moment, the flight attendants could do nothing but watch Zhang Yifei anxiously clutching his chest and try to calm the passengers next to him.
Time seemed to crawl by, both for the flight attendants and especially for Zhang Yifei. He felt as if he were being burned alive.
What happened?!
Apart from Li Lechen, no one knew what was wrong with him.
Finally, the plane landed.
An ambulance was already waiting on the ground, because Zhang Yifei had scratched his chest until it was covered in blood. This was only the result of the flight attendants' efforts to restrain him; otherwise, Zhang Yifei might have scratched himself to death on the plane.
Everyone made way for the patient and watched as the doctor boarded the plane and was carried off on a stretcher.
Then everyone disembarked from the plane in order.
Suddenly, everyone saw someone rush up from behind and then the stretcher was taken out.
"Li Lechen!"
Zhou Lifen had barely realized what was happening when she discovered that her son had already squeezed onto the platform.
What happened?
What's going on?
Why was he pushing so fast? The person who had the attack wasn't a relative or friend. Why would he push his way up?
Li Lechen couldn't really do anything by squeezing up, but he felt he couldn't just sit idly by.
Soon, everyone on the plane disembarked and scattered. While it's not to say that everyone was infected, those who were close to Zhang Yifei, as well as the flight attendants who had cleaned up his vomit, had a very high chance of being infected.
That's right. The HI25 virus back then was not taken seriously at first because of its rapid spread, and because there was no effective treatment, which led to so many deaths.
It's still under control now, so why not give it a try?
Catching up with the stretcher, Li Lechen went straight to the point and said to the doctor next to it, "I am a member of the National Mathematical Association and I also have research in biomedicine. Judging from this person's symptoms, he should have contracted a new type of influenza that is highly contagious. I suggest that it is best to isolate and observe all the passengers on the plane."
Li Lechen could only say this. He couldn't use the term HI25 virus because it didn't exist at the moment, and saying it wouldn't have any impact; it would only make his claims seem less reliable to insiders.
Li Lechen's membership in the National Mathematical Association is correct; besides that, he has no other credentials to boast about. As for his research in biomedicine, for someone from over a thousand years in the future, he would be considered a top expert in any field by today's standards.
But the doctor clearly found it strange.
He looked at Li Lechen, who had a serious and anxious expression. He could tell that Li Lechen was just a high school student, or at most a freshman or sophomore in college, but his tone was unusually mature.
Flu viruses mutate every year. There's nothing strange about that.
Is it highly contagious? Flu viruses are highly contagious, and they can even be fatal.
What are these?
Whether this boy is a member of the National Mathematical Association or an expert in biomedicine is irrelevant to the current situation.
Imagine the scale of the operation: controlling an entire plane and isolating and observing its inhabitants. It would likely alarm even the Ministry of Health.
Therefore, this kind of thing definitely won't happen because of one person's words.
Li Lechen understood the doctor's gaze and then remembered that it was 2018, a time before the HI25 virus outbreak, so he naturally couldn't understand how terrible the HI25 virus was.
Historically, following the outbreak of the HI25 virus, a rigorous and effective set of methods for disease detection, control, and treatment has been established globally.
In situations like this, if someone suddenly falls ill in a public place, everyone in that area will be temporarily quarantined until it is confirmed that the illness is not contagious or that the illness itself is not fatal.
This is not something that one or two countries are doing, but something that all countries in the world are doing.
When it comes to the survival of humankind, all nations share the same interests.
But it's 2018 now, and this system hasn't been implemented yet. Isolating an entire plane of people is an absolutely huge undertaking.
So, after carefully examining Li Lechen, the doctor resolutely pushed this strange patient off the plane with the nurses, onto the ambulance, and sped away.
As for the people on the plane, they can go wherever they want and do whatever they want, completely unaffected.
