"An infection incident has occurred at the 8th Hospital of Street 278. Preliminary rating: D-level offensive area. Team 007, Captain Xiao Yao, and Team Member Xie Xuan are currently handling the matter."
"You have been assigned a task. Please proceed to the entrance of Precinct 45 within five minutes. The shuttle bus number serving you this time is 023."
Xie Xuan had just signed the application form for the Bai Ze system that had been advanced to her when she received two messages in succession on her terminal.
Ding Qiaoyun said without surprise: "Have a good trip."
Xie Xuan felt that it was okay not to say this, "Do you have any clues about what I asked you to investigate last time?"
"No," Ding Qiaoyun said flatly. "We didn't find the blue reagent bottle or the strange letter you mentioned at Li Yajun's residence. The logistics and courier companies didn't find any unidentified packages sent to Li Yajun."
Xie Xuan was a little disappointed, but felt that it was expected. "Okay, thank you."
Ding Qiaoyun accepted the thank you. "I'll continue to help you investigate, but there's a high probability that I won't find anything. If what you saw is true, the person behind it not only has access to the security door code for the light rail tunnel, but can also use the spores to precisely create parasites in a dry environment. If such a person wants to destroy the evidence, they have plenty of ways to do it."
Xie Xuan nodded, "I understand. I'll be leaving first then."
Ding Qiaoyun waved her hand and lowered her head to continue her work.
Xie Xuan walked out of the gate of the Ecological Bureau and looked for shuttle bus numbered 023 among the all white shuttle buses at the door.
This time, there were only two people on the mission, she and Xiao Yao, so Xie Xuan went straight to look for them among the queue of small shuttle buses.
Train 023 was parked at the end of the train, with its doors open. This time, Xie Xuan arrived faster than Xiao Yao.
After getting in the car, Xie Xuan consciously began to put on protective clothing. When she finished putting on the protective clothing and the five-minute countdown was about to return to zero, Xiao Yao's figure finally appeared in Xie Xuan's sight.
Xiao Yao ran a few steps and got into the car, his bangs on his forehead were all messed up.
"Sorry, I'm late." Xiao Yao said, closing the car door. The driverless car automatically located the destination and began to move forward steadily.
Xie Xuan saw that Xiao Yao's face still had marks from sleeping, and couldn't help but ask, "Were you sleeping just now?"
While adjusting his bangs in front of the shiny helmet, Xiao Yao replied to Xie Xuan, "I came too early and fell asleep waiting for you."
Xie Xuan felt guilty. She didn't get up this morning and was more than an hour late.
Fortunately, the Ecological Bureau does not have strict regulations on working hours. In theory, as long as you complete a task once a week, you don’t have to go to work.
But now, except for the rainy season, due to the shortage of manpower, if you do not report to the Ecological Bureau after the vacation, the shuttle bus will drive directly to your doorstep to pick you up for the mission.
However, few people do this. Firstly, working in the Reception Department is a high-paying job that is hard to find even with a lantern in District 6. Secondly, if the entire team cannot go on a mission because of one person, the other teammates will inevitably feel dissatisfied.
"Sorry, I got up late today."
Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Today's task is not too difficult and can be completed quickly."
Xiao Yao put on his protective suit and suddenly said, "Ling Wenqing seems to have been transferred to the general ward. Have you visited him?"
Xie Xuan didn't expect Xiao Yao to pay attention to this matter. She nodded and said, "I went there the day before yesterday with Zhou Yuanyuan, my former teammate."
"I know. I went on a mission with her temporarily a few days ago."
Xiao Yao paused for a moment. "She seemed to be in a bad mood at the time. I guess the series of accidents involving her teammates was a huge blow to her. How was she when you saw her the day before yesterday?"
Xie Xuan looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, and instead of answering, she asked, "There are so many teams in the containment department, you don't care about every one of them, do you?"
Xiao Yao laughed. "How is that possible? I only care about her because she used to be your teammate. I don't have the energy to care about every colleague's feelings."
Xie Xuan agreed. "She still doesn't look well. I don't think she's in the right state to continue working. It would be best if she could take a break and adjust for a while."
Xiao Yao looked at Xie Xuan, smiled and said, "I think so too."
This topic was briefly touched upon, and Xiao Yao began to discuss with Xie Xuan the information regarding the mission that had been received.
"The 8th Hospital of 278 Subdistrict is a public general hospital that also treats patients infected with spores. This infection occurred in the infected area."
There are generally only two types of spore-infected patients who can be treated in ordinary hospitals. One type is patients who are infected within the field and then killed by the parasite, and the other type is patients who are infected by infected people outside the field.
The difference between these two categories is that the former is to treat the sequelae of infection, while the latter is to prevent further spread of infection.
Generally speaking, the activity of spores will decrease after the infected person dies. There is a certain possibility that people infected by spores that have failed to parasitize multiple times will survive.
Because the growth of spores is highly dependent on water sources, most spores cannot parasitize and infect humans in a dry environment. Therefore, the most important thing in the infection area is not sterility, but low air humidity.
The cause of this infection incident was that someone was smoking in the infection ward. The smoke triggered the fire alarm, and the water sprayed, directly killing all the infected people in the infection ward.
Xie Xuan found it a little unbelievable, "Isn't the hospital a no-smoking area?"
"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded. "So if this smoker didn't die in the field, he would most likely face charges of premeditated murder."
"Attention Team 007. We are expected to arrive at our destination in five minutes. Please put on your protective gear and be ready. Preliminary mission rating: D-Class Attack. Estimated completion time: 4 hours and 45 minutes."
Xiao Yao put on his communicator and buckled his helmet. "The last mission was my fault as captain. You won't need to take action this time. Just watch from the side. I can handle it quickly."
Xie Xuan certainly wouldn't foolishly insist on helping, so she agreed straight away, "No problem."
The Eighth Hospital of 278 Street is very different from Taikang Hospital. It uses intelligent robots on a large scale to replace basic manual work.
From the fully automatic medicine dispensing machine at the dispensing window to the automatic cleaning robot operating on the ground, there are very few staff members wearing white uniforms in the entire hospital.
When Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao walked into the hospital, the last few patients were being evacuated. Seeing Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao wearing black protective suits, the patients subconsciously moved aside.
The work of the Ecological Bureau's Reception Department may seem like that of firefighters, but in fact, most residents see them more as undertakers.
Seeing these black protective suits and the white protective suits of the logistics department is like seeing the Black and White Impermanence coming to take souls.
