Chapter 2 Expedition to Epidemic Areas

Back in the office, Guo Anan began to pack up the things on his desk, except for the personal belongings that had to be taken away, Guo Anan took almost nothing. After giving away the delicate knick-knacks on the table one by one, Guo Anan sat in front of the computer for a while.

Colleagues on WeChat quietly sent messages to ask, she turned off the message and opened it again, thinking that she would probably not see each other again in the future, so she patiently replied a few words.

Before she left, she had already begun to say goodbye.

Colleagues looked at her with pity, it was a pity that such an excellent person was taken away by Linda, everyone wanted to fight upright, but no one really offended Linda because of Guo Anan, after all, his performance appraisal was still in Linda's hands.

Before leaving work in the afternoon, the list of follow-up visits to the front line was circulated in the newspaper office. The only place was given to Guo An'an, the backbone of the interview department, and some people were greatly relieved, while others felt a little disappointed that they could not go to the front line.

After seeing the list, Linda's face instantly darkened, because there was no Guo Anan's name in the list he reported.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Huang's phone called. Lin Da answered the phone with a smile on her face, and her dissatisfaction with Guo Anan deepened, this girl actually went directly to Mr. Huang by bypassing her direct leader, this is a clear rebellion!

"Guo An'an, you are so bold!" Lin Da called Guo An'an to the office, pointed at Guo An'an's nose and scolded: "I usually take a lot of care of you, you have a lot of room for improvement in business ability, I will try my best to help you improve, now that your wings are hard, you don't look at me in your eyes?" Okay, since you took the initiative to run to the front line of the epidemic area in front of Mr. Huang, if you want to be a hero, I won't stop you!"

Guo Anan smiled and watched Lin Da jump to his feet, the irony at the corner of his mouth became stronger, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Mr. Lin, I am not in front of you anymore, you should be happy! Besides, you don't have to do anything, I will disappear automatically, we are all happy, win-win!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Da obviously didn't like this little joke, he finally realized his gaffe just now, and after calming down his emotions, he handed an A4 piece of paper with the interview content and contact person written on it to Guo An'an, "You can contact the person in charge of the hospital later and set off with them." This time, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and the danger factor is relatively high, I hope you will do a good job of protection over there and must return safely. ”

Only then did the colleagues in the office understand that Guo Anan was packing up his things to prepare for going to the front line, although everyone knew that Guo Anan had done in-depth investigations on many hot events, but this plague was obviously different from the past, and it would really be life-threatening.

Seeing the relaxed smile on Guo Anan's face, everyone's hearts were sour, and several female comrades hugged Guo Anan with red eyes, and words of blessings and advice poured into Guo Anan's ears and mobile phones.

Even so, what can be changed? Everyone knows each other, who doesn't know the little ninety-nine in someone's heart?

"Okay, it's time to perform with you, I'll do my best. Guo An sneered at the bottom of his heart, but he did enough work on his face.

The newspaper also attaches great importance to this reporter's action in the severely affected area, and specially arranged for the interview department to produce a special series of reports, and arranged for the video team to broadcast the whole process live, which was broadcast live on the whole network through the financial media platform.

The news of the departure came very suddenly, and at noon on the second day after the list was confirmed, Guo Anan received an order to leave immediately. After packing her luggage in a hurry, the newspaper made a special trip to give Guo Anan a large suitcase of protective materials, and also sent a special car to send her to the designated location of the hospital, where she set off together with the second batch of medical staff from the Luzhong City People's Hospital.

When starting from the newspaper, Huang Qingquan and the leadership also specially presented flowers and blessings to Guo An'an, which shows that the newspaper attaches great importance to this expedition.

Guo Anan sat calmly in the car, her face under the mask was expressionless, she recalled in her heart what Huang Qingquan said just now, but she didn't have any mission, but the world didn't need her anymore, she just went to find a way out.

But when waiting for the flight at the airport, she still had some expectations, for example, when Ren Xudong heard that she was going to the epidemic area, would he feel sorry for her and keep her?

Guo Anan thought about it again and again, and finally dialed Ren Xudong's phone, she felt that even if they couldn't be together, they still had to say goodbye, in case they could regret it for the rest of their lives, then she would be happy.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check before dialing. Sorry,the number you dialed does not exist......”

Guo Anan has dialed this number countless times in the past seven years, how can it be an empty number? Guo Anan hung up the phone in despair, and the original seven-year relationship really broke up, and there was no trace left. But what about the traces in the heart?

Dizziness and sadness came up all kinds of feelings, Guo Anan wanted to take off her mask and take a big breath, but she just held her breath and slowly squatted down.

As far as the eye can see, there is darkness. In that case, it's better to walk away silently.

"I want to see you, I just want to see you, I just want to see you in the future......" The mobile phone rang several times persistently, and Guo Anan came back to his senses until the passer-by next to him reminded him.

"Guo An'an, why didn't you tell me when you went to Huhan for a follow-up! If I hadn't seen it on your website, wouldn't you just leave without telling me!" He Xiao cried as he spoke on the other end of the phone.

"Xiaoxiao, the notice came urgently, I didn't know until noon that I left today, don't worry!" As a good friend who has been together since elementary school, Guo Anan really can't see He Xiao crying.

He Xiao paused for a few seconds, "Then you promise me that you must wear a mask, do a good job of protection, and you must give me a safe return, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"

"Also, if you lack masks and protective clothing, you must tell me, and I will send them to you even if I go abroad to grab them. ”

Guo Anan agreed one by one.

At this time, the medical staff of various hospitals began to gather in the airport hall, and they were about to take a group photo and take an oath.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, this is the second batch of medical staff sent by Luzhong City to aid Han, with a total of 37 people, respectively from 5 tertiary hospitals in the city, including 5 attending physicians and 31 nurses in various departments, led by the vice president of Luzhong People's Hospital.

The secretary of the municipal party committee specially rushed to the airport to bid farewell to the medical staff who rushed to help Huhan. Guo An'an took photos from various angles with an expressionless face, and those choked words flashed in Guo An'an's ears - "Win the battle and look forward to victory." No one is left behind! We are waiting for you to come back!"

The medical family members who came to see them off had tears in their eyes, and all the reluctance and advice were hurriedly sent out at the moment of departure.

"When I come back, we'll get married. A tall and thin male doctor hugged the girl in front of him tightly, they had planned to get married after the Chinese New Year, but the sudden epidemic broke their plans.

The girl nodded vigorously, trying to swallow back her tears, not to let him worry, "Although you can treat and save people over there with peace of mind, I have me at home! ”

Guo Anan sent the photos and stories back to the editorial department, and after editing and sorting out these interviews, they were quickly published on the headlines of the Lu Bao app.

After taking a group photo with the members of the medical team to aid Han, Guo Anan followed the army on the plane. All the members of the medical team on the plane came from different county and city hospitals, but they all shouldered the same mission - to fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties together.

Guo Anan listened to the people around him discussing the difference between the new coronavirus and SARS, which was very boring, so he put on headphones and began to sleep. Half-asleep and half-awake, she suddenly heard Soda Green's "Little Love Song", and her tears broke down in an instant.

It was the first song that Ren Xudong sang when he chased her seven years ago, just downstairs in Guo An'an's dormitory, Ren Xudong sat by the flower bed, playing and singing softly: "Even if the heavy rain turns the city upside down, I will give you a ...... in my arms."

Guo Anan looked down from the balcony with a shyly face, Ren Xudong was handsome and chic at that time, which made people reluctant to look away.

In the days that followed, they experienced countless quarrels and anger, and every time Ren Xudong would sing to make Guo Anan happy. In the past seven years, "Little Love Song" has become a witness to the love of two people, but now, the love song is still the same, and the people have long been separated.

Guo Anan pulled off the headphones and threw them at his feet, covering his mask and trying hard to prevent himself from crying, but he couldn't stop the tears from falling like threads.

A few pieces of paper were handed over next to him, Guo Anan took it and covered his eyes, and soon tears wet the tissue. Next to put the paper on Guo Anan's hand again.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you take good precautions, you'll be fine. The man next to him persuaded softly, but how did he know that being afraid would not make people sad, and that it would be only to live alone.

After a long time, Guo Anan stopped her tears, she thanked the man next to her, and went to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance, looking at the girl with a haggard face and red and swollen eyes in the mirror, she only felt weak and tired.

After a busy afternoon, when he returned to his seat, Guo Anan realized that it was past the time to take medicine. She quietly squeezed the pill into her palm from her handbag, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she hurriedly stuffed the pill box into the deepest part of the bag, and then hurriedly swallowed the pill.

She doesn't want others to see her different, and she doesn't want people to know her current mental state. For her, when she is alive, she must leave the best memories to the people around her, even if she is facing strangers, she Guo Anan should be the proudest existence.

So even in the most difficult times, she always faces malice and difficulties with a smile, others praise her for being outgoing and cheerful, but no one sees her pillow wet with tears in the middle of the night.

In the face of aid workers from all over the country, the Huhan municipal government has already prepared buses to transport medical staff from the airport directly to the designated hotel.

When Guo Anan followed the Luzhong People's Hospital and his party to Tongren Hotel, it was already late at night. Everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, but there was excitement that could not be suppressed.

In order to avoid cross-infection, everyone lives in a single room, and in order to avoid aerosol transmission, the central air conditioning is also not allowed to open. Guo Anan, like everyone else, dragged a heavy suitcase into the room, only to feel a chill on his face.

In the future, it is not easy for Guo An'an, who is used to heating rooms, to live in such a cold environment.

As soon as he packed up his personal belongings, Peng Wei, the team leader of Luzhong People's Hospital, called and said that because doctors from all provinces across the country participated in the treatment this time, the medical team from Lu Province would be assigned to different hospitals.

In the next period of time, Peng Wei will concentrate on coordinating the logistics and material support of medical staff, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to take into account the interview task.

Affected by the epidemic, there is a shortage of masks and protective clothing and other materials for many medical staff, and Peng Wei's mission this time is to ensure the safety of medical staff.

Guo Anan simply asked Peng Wei for the allocation list of personnel, intending to act alone.

There was only one quilt in the room, which barely kept some temperature on the body. Guo Anan washed his face and clothes and got into the quilt.

Guo An'an's dream is to be a war correspondent, and this time when she came to the epidemic area to fight the war, although she did not see the artillery fire, but she faced a more cunning virus, so she still very much hoped to send back some excellent reports. What will happen after her dream comes true, Guo Anan doesn't think much about it, the important thing is that at the moment, she must ensure that she is not attacked by the "enemy".
