Chapter 275: Sleeping for a Whole Day
The medical team didn't have any extra tents, so Chu Qiao wore a mask and stayed in Lu Zhan's tent. The tent was leaking air, and the night wind was cool. Chu Qiao opened his eyes and looked outside through the hole in the tent, watching shooting stars streak by.
"Lu Zhan, how many people can survive until next year?"
Although Lu Zhan was still thin after taking the medicine, he looked much better. "I can't make it. One month, one month of infection. Twenty percent of people can make it, but the rest, without medicine, will just die."
Chu Qiao sighed.
The next day, Chu Qiao continued to boil the medicine. The decoction was more effective than the capsules. Most of the doctors' fevers had gradually subsided after drinking the medicine for a day.
Hank was very attentive. On the first day, when Chu Qiao was weighing, he memorized the types and weights of the herbs that the Beidou people found obscure. On the second day, he was able to dispense the herbs independently, and Chu Qiao concentrated on taking care of Lu Zhan.
That day, Lu Zhan's cell phone suddenly rang.
Lu Zhan glanced at the screen and picked up the phone immediately. He didn't have the energy to hold it in his hand, so he turned on the loudspeaker.
Chu Qiao pointed at his phone: "I'm going out?"
Lu Zhan shook his head: "No need."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar from the other side: "If you don't come back, don't come back."
Lu Zhan looked at Chu Qiao awkwardly.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth. It was you who didn't let me go out.
Lu Zhan's face turned ashen.
Forget it, I'll give you some face. Chu Qiao looked out the window and pretended not to hear anything.
Lu Zhan: "Dad, please give me some face."
The other side snorted coldly: "Face? What face do you want? If you don't come back, not only will you lose your face, but I will also lose myself."
With a "touch" sound, the phone seemed to be thrown aside.
A young voice came from the side: "Brother Zhan, don't blame the old man. The old man has been worried to death since he hasn't heard from you recently."
"What about my brother?" Lu Zhan asked calmly.
"Don't mention it. He hasn't been seen recently. Even Miss Lu has rarely come home recently. That's why the old man is so angry."
Lu Zhan glanced at Chu Qiao and whispered, "Just coax him and tell him I'll be back soon."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhan said embarrassedly: "My dad is old and has a lot of things to do."
"I understand." Chu Qiao smiled.
…
On the sixth day in Nigeria, except for the critically ill patients, everyone was able to go out and basically stop taking medication, relying on their own immunity to get through it.
Chu Qiao calculated the time. Any food here needed to be airdropped, which was very inconvenient. It would be better to return to China for treatment.
Chu Qiao discussed it with Lu Zhan immediately.
Lu Zhan understood that Chu Qiao wanted them to return to their home country where medical facilities were better, but...
"It's true that the medical conditions here are too poor, but we carry the virus with us, and going back now would only cause trouble for everyone."
Chu Qiao shook his head. They were heroes who had brought glory to the country, and no matter how great the cost, they should return to their country to recuperate.
For this reason, Chu Qiao specifically asked Chen Ao to find the director of the military hospital, but it was of no avail. Without an official order to bring them back, no one dared to bring back the medical team that might be carrying the virus.
Chu Qiao had no choice but to find the email address of the mayor who had made the complaint and sent a special email, hoping that the medical team would receive better care.
However, this message fell on deaf ears and there was no response for two days.
When Chu Qiao was in despair, he received a strange phone call.
"Hello, who is this?
"Hello, I'm Lu Xiaoxiao, the deputy mayor's secretary."
Chu Qiao was stunned: "I am Chu Qiao."
The other party obviously didn't expect this either, and paused for a moment: "Ms. Chu, we saw your email in the mayor's mailbox. Regarding what you said, we have carefully considered it and have arranged an isolation point. We will contact you as soon as possible to arrange for the transfer of the medical team back to the country."
Chu Qiao: "Thank you, I'll wait for your news."
"Okay." A beeping sound came from the other side.
Chu Qiao hung up the phone and walked towards the tent. Less than a minute later, his phone rang again.
"Hello."
"Chu Qiao, I'm Lu Xiaoxiao." Chu Qiao frowned. Didn't they just fight?
"Secretary Lu, is there anything else?"
"Are you in the medical team? How is my brother?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.
"Your brother?"
"Lu Zhan, Lu Zhan is my second brother. It was the office call just now, so I couldn't ask him. He hasn't given us any definite information in a long time. How is he doing now?"
Chu Qiao was still in shock that Lu Xiaoxiao was Lu Zhan's sister, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Is she..." Lu Xiaoxiao's voice choked.
Chu Qiao quickly said, "No, no, he's fine. I brought him some medicine. He's almost recovered, so I asked to return home."
Lu Xiao carefully swallowed it and said, "Thank you. The government will also make arrangements as soon as possible. Please take care of my brother."
"Don't worry."
Chu Qiao returned to the tent and stared at Lu Zhan. Between his eyebrows and eyes, Lu Xiaoxiao did look a bit like Lu Zhan, but Lu Zhan had more distinct features.
Lu Zhan looked at Chu Qiao staring at him, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chu Qiao said angrily: "No, please tell your family that you are safe. I thought you were born out of a rock, but I didn't expect you to have so many brothers and sisters."
"What's the meaning?"
"Lu Xiaoxiao, the deputy mayor's secretary, your sister."
"How do you know?"
"Don't worry about how I found out. Just call and tell them you're safe. I'm leaving."
Chu Qiao left the tent and heard Lu Zhan pick up the phone: "Brother, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Two days later, the Beijinzhou government personally sent a helicopter to the medical base to transfer the patients.
Medical personnel, fully armed and wearing isolation suits, were brought onto the helicopter.
Because Chu Qiao had contact with too many patients, he also put on isolation clothing and was taken to isolation.
Before leaving, Hank didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of reluctance.
Chu Qiao patted the young man's head and said, "I still have some medicine left, and the finished medicine is already in place. The rest depends on you and the local medical staff. Remember, medicine is limited, and cutting off the transmission route is the key."
Hank choked and nodded: "I remember."
The moment Chu Qiao stepped onto the helicopter, Hank shouted, "Sister Chu Qiao, I will go to Beidou to find you."
Chu Qiao looked back and smiled. The mist on her goggles blocked her expression, but revealed her tenacious perseverance.
…
The returning medical team has to go through a ten-day quarantine period. Everyone cannot leave the quarantine point, or even leave the room. Three meals a day are delivered on time. When needed, they can call the staff to make a request.
Chu Qiao was happy and relaxed. She had once thought about what she would do when she had plenty of free time one day.
Unexpectedly, it was realized very quickly.
Of course, netizens are curious and envious about Chu Qiao's quarantine life, and there are strong calls for live broadcasts.
Chu Qiao had no choice but to open the live broadcast room and perform for them online his skill of sleeping all day.
