Antu County launched a vigorous investigation and screening operation.
Just like when the troops first entered the house, they took a manual approach and conducted screening tests on each resident one by one.
It’s just not as easy as registering your household registration.
It is not easy to screen for viral infection because the cold wave virus lurks in the human body and cannot be easily detected.
In the previous life, the cold wave virus was discovered after more and more patients with symptoms reported it after some caring people reported it.
In this life, because of Lu Qin, the virus was discovered nearly two years in advance.
As far as he knows, the incubation period of cold wave virus ranges from one month to several years.
Just like Liu Zifeng himself, even if there is a cold wave virus in the body, it may not necessarily produce corresponding symptoms.
But people like Lu Qi and the pregnant woman unfortunately became the first group of people infected with the symptoms.
Because there are no symptoms, many people do not believe they have any disease and refuse to get checked.
Many people don’t understand why the so-called “secondary screening” is suddenly necessary.
"I still have work to do! Are you soldiers here just to eat? You're checking and checking, delaying everyone's work. Are you going to give us all food?"
"I'm not sick, I think you're the ones who are sick!"
"Are they going to use us for some kind of experiment? I heard there are a lot of secret research institutes... that want people to do human experiments..."
Cursing and noisy sounds came from the crowd.
The few medical staff were pushed and shoved so hard that they could hardly bear it.
The guards on the side fired a shot into the air with a "bang", and the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
"Old rules, anyone who doesn't get checked out will get out of Antu County!"
Captain Liu's brief and dangerous words echoed through the crowd. Finally, everyone lined up in an orderly fashion, waiting for sampling and screening.
The inspection method is very simple, which is to poke a small hole on the fingertip. In fact, it is said to be a blood test, but the special sampling tube takes a little sample of human tissue and muscle.
The presence of cold wave virus in human blood is not very obvious, and only some clues can be found in muscle tissue.
Of course, the most widely distributed tissue is the brain tissue, but brain tissue cannot be taken out, and cerebrospinal fluid is not something that can be easily sampled, so Dean Fang had to settle for the second best and proposed the method of sampling muscle tissue to test and investigate the spread and existence of the virus.
…
Lu Qin looked out the window.
The few medical staff were taking samples from the anxious crowd one by one.
This is a huge project and the cost is even greater.
This is even more of a blow to Antu County, which is not very rich in material resources.
But Qu Dongbo insisted on conducting a massive investigation.
The medical staff outside the window were wearing snow-white protective suits, intertwined with the shining snow piles, like a flower scroll.
It’s a pity that the word written on the back of this scroll is death.
Lu Qin looked at the scene in front of him with some worry.
Qu Dongbo was busy in the office with his never-ending work. Seeing his worried look, he put down the document in his hand and said:
"Don't worry. Didn't Dean Fang say that as long as you don't eat human flesh, the possibility of infection is very small, and people who are infected with the virus don't necessarily have fatal symptoms."
Lu Qin nodded. She knew that including Lu Qi and the pregnant woman, the two confirmed patients, the other people infected with the "cold wave virus" were not in any danger of life for the time being.
But Lu Qin knew that once these symptoms appeared, death was inevitable.
However, the progression of this virus is chronic. When the damage to brain tissue reaches a certain level, humans will become a vegetable.
"I know, I'm fine. I just wonder why such an evil organization would surge under such peace?"
Lu Qin couldn't understand why her biggest wish in her past and present lives was to be able to live peacefully and comfortably in this damn apocalypse.
But what about those people, including Liu Zifeng and others, who started with such a good foundation, are unwilling to live a leisurely life in the end times. Instead, they take risks and engage in such dirty and evil transactions. Why is that?
"There are always such evil faces in every era. It's just that sometimes we can't see them." Qu Dongbo comforted.
"Maybe I'm too naive!" Lu Qin shook her head and said self-deprecatingly.
"That's why I insisted on investigating," Qu Dongbo said with a smile. "I know it's really inappropriate to expend so much manpower and resources to investigate the existence of the virus, but... I still feel that this situation cannot be tolerated."
"I don't want to see that happen under my administration."
Qu Dongbo's firm voice came.
Lu Qin always understood his intentions. She knew that Qu Dongbo was an idealist, upright and incorruptible, and did not want to leave any cancer behind.
But he also paid a huge price for it.
Antu County is short of resources, and a war with Rongcheng is imminent in order to seize resources.
"So, regarding Rongcheng..." Lu Qin hesitated to speak. She really wanted to show some concern for Qu Dongbo, but was afraid to bring up his biggest worry at the moment and increase his stress.
Qu Dongbo didn't feel anything too much and said bluntly: "It's okay, I have already made arrangements for things over there, and the main force of the outpost is approaching Rongcheng."
There was a certainty in his tone, which finally put Lu Qin's slightly anxious heart at ease.
"But...if I go, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with Antu County's affairs. I plan to have you serve as acting director of the Antu County Disaster Relief Office." Qu Dongbo paused, then continued, "Antu County isn't very peaceful right now...with this virus thing happening again."
"Ah?" Lu Qin was confused by this sudden news.
