Chapter 138: Diffusion
Han Ye didn't take Zhou Weicheng's words to heart, because Zhou Weicheng's words have never been reliable, not to mention that what happened in the news, on the other side of the ocean, 108,000 miles away, had nothing to do with him.
But no one expected that Zhou Weicheng's inference about the virus would turn out to be a prophecy!
Due to the extremely high contagiousness of the type I virus, coupled with the convenient transportation of modern and the high mobility of the population, the US CDC has not been able to contain the spread of the virus even though it has tried its best to isolate people infected with the virus.
More and more infected people are starting to appear in Boston.
In just a few days, the number of infected people has skyrocketed from hundreds to 300, and it is still increasing rapidly, while the earliest virus infected people are in isolation hospitals, dying one after another, and none of them survived.
Rumors swirled, panic began to spread, and more and more people began to flee Boston, to other cities, or other countries, hoping to escape.
And this accelerates the spread of the virus!
Originally, the type I virus was only in the Boston area, but as a large number of people dispersed to various places, more and more cities in the United States began to find people infected with the virus, and the number of infected people rose sharply.
A day later, the first case of type I virus infection appeared in the UK.
Soon after, infections were found in other European countries.
Two days later, the type I virus was officially introduced to Asia, and there were people infected with the virus in Japan, India, and South Korea one after another.
The type I virus seems to have entered the stage of accelerated spread and is becoming more and more difficult to contain!
Although no infected person has been found in China for the time being, with the rapid spread of the type I virus, it is only a matter of time before the virus enters the country.
There are more and more news reports and comments on the type I virus on TV and the Internet, and the atmosphere of worry is gradually spreading in society.
"I'll just say it, the type I virus is difficult to contain, and in just a few days, the virus has spread all over the world. ”
In the dormitory of NTU, Zhou Weicheng proudly rested his legs on the table, and the computer was playing news reports about the virus, boasting of his foresight.
"You're a crow's mouth, a good spirit that doesn't work bad. If you are asked to say something seriously, and you can't say anything, as soon as you report a disaster, it will be like divine help! I almost wonder if you are an agent of the disaster. Han Ye said angrily, "I don't know when this virus will spread to China, who knows if we will be infected, you are still proud! ”
As soon as he said this, it immediately aroused the concern of the rest of the dormitory.
Zhang Zhen frowned, and said very worriedly: "How long has it been? It has spread from the United States to Japan and South Korea, but I am afraid that it will spread to China, and it will only be a few days, I hope we don't get shot." ”
Zhou Weicheng was an optimist, and said loudly: "What are you worried about? The virus hasn't come in yet, and it's still far away." Even if it does spread to China, China is so big, there are so many people, and we often stay in school, the chance of being infected is very small. It won't be so unlucky to hit the virus. ”
Han Ye snorted: "That's not for sure, the virus doesn't have eyes, will it still give you preferential treatment?" However, I still hope that your prediction is accurate." Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble. ”
"What's the big trouble?"
A crisp oriole-like voice came from outside the door. Immediately afterwards, Charlene's pretty figure appeared at the door.
"It's nothing, I'm talking to foodies and Zhang Shao about type I virus. Han Ye smiled and said, "Don't you have a class in the afternoon, why did you come here at this time?" ”
"I miss you, can't you come and see?" Xia Lin walked in and sat on Han Ye's lap.
Since the last time she had an affair with Han Ye in the dormitory, her intimacy with Han Ye has increased significantly, and she no longer resists some intimate contact with Han Ye.
"Ahem, don't be so close to no one, don't treat us as good air, show affection under the noses of so many bachelors, I don't know if we will die quickly?" Zhang Zhen coughed a few times and protested.
Zhou Weicheng glanced at him with disdain: "You are a groom every night, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a bachelor? ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh sadly, "Actually, in this dormitory, I am the only one who is a single person in the real sense." ”
At this time, Levi, who was reviewing, suddenly said: "How can you be the only one? I don't have a girlfriend? With me by your side, you are not alone." ”
Zhou Weicheng looked insulted: "Don't compare me with you, you are naturally cold, you are not interested in any girl, the nature of the two of us is completely different." ”
Levi said lightly: "Aren't you the same? Why did you lose a love affair and force yourself to be taller than me?"
Zhou Weicheng was furious: "Damn! You don't open any pot!"
Xia Lin looked at the two of them pinching each other there with amusement, and said to Han Ye: "Actually, I really have something to do with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Han Ye asked, stroking her hand lightly around her waist.
"My cousin has come back from England and plans to stay at home for a few days, and it is rare that our whole family has gathered, and my grandfather is going to have a reunion dinner, and I want to invite you to go with him. ”
"Wow! This is the rhythm of meeting parents!" Zhang Zhen said with a smile, "Boss Han, congratulations, you are about to become the son-in-law of the Xia family, work hard, and strive to get a baby out before graduation." ”
"I'll go!"
Han Ye picked up a book and wanted to smash it at Zhang Zhen, Zhou Weicheng was suddenly startled, and asked with a vigilant face, "Your brother came back from the UK, won't he be infected with the type I virus?"
"If you don't open your mouth, you'll die!" Xia Lin glared at Zhou Weicheng angrily.
Zhou Weicheng laughed dryly and said, "I just asked casually, it's not for everyone's good." ”
Charlene said angrily: "Don't worry, my brother is in good health and has not been infected with the virus." Now in order to prevent the virus from entering the country, the inspection of the entry channel at the airport is very strict, and there are special personnel to measure the body temperature, once the body temperature is abnormal, it will be taken away immediately for further examination, and once the diagnosis is confirmed, the entire plane will be quarantined for observation.
When my brother came back, he passed the examination and did not have any symptoms. ”
"It may still be in the incubation period, you must know that the longest incubation period is one week, and the shortest ......is one day," Zhou Weicheng wanted to continue to say some disappointing words.
Han Ye couldn't help it, and said in unison with Xia Lin: "Shut up!"
Zhou Weicheng saw that he had provoked the anger of the public, and finally closed his mouth in amusement and never spoke again.
Zhang Zhen shook his head gloatingly, and commented: "If you owe it, you have no human rights." ”
Although Xia Lin sincerely wanted to invite Han Ye to participate in this family gathering, Han Ye finally refused her invitation.
One is that he has made an appointment with the old god stick at night, and the other is that he feels that it is still a little inappropriate for an outsider to insert himself into a family gathering.
Charlene saw that he really didn't mean to participate, although she was a little disappointed, she didn't force it.
After Xia Lin left, Han Ye was busy reviewing and practicing, while Xia Lin had no time to find Han Ye because she hadn't seen her cousin for a long time and wanted to accompany him, so she just called every day.
In this way, two days passed without incident, and at noon on the third day, the local media in Nanling suddenly broke an explosive news:
The first case of type I virus infection was found in Nanling City!
Now the infected person has been sent to the Provincial People's Hospital for isolation and treatment!
This news is like dropping a bomb on a calm lake, which immediately shocked this city of tens of millions of people!
During this time, reports about the type I virus have been overwhelming, and the citizens of Nanling have long understood how terrifying this virus is.
Once infected with this virus, it is equivalent to a death sentence, and there is no cure.
In the case of general treatment, once the patient develops the disease, he will die within three days, even if the best treatment is used, he can only live for another three days at most!
After three days, the sick will die!
They originally thought that although the type I virus was terrible, it was still abroad after all, and it was still very far away from them.
But who knows, this virus has come to them unconsciously!
Panic began to brew throughout the city.
The emergence of type I virus not only shook the Nanling Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, but even the Central and Southern Party Committee was greatly shocked and attached great importance to it.
A few hours later, the Level 1 emergency plan was activated:
All primary and secondary schools in Nanling City are closed, and all students go home to rest.
All large-scale gatherings and activities have been temporarily banned, and all bars and Internet cafes have been temporarily closed, and citizens of the city have been warned to minimize going out and gatherings as much as possible to avoid infection.
Universities, on the other hand, have begun to close their campuses, prohibiting any students from leaving the campus, and once they do, they must undergo a seven-day quarantine to make sure that nothing is going before they can return to class.
Despite all the measures taken, the type I virus is too contagious.
Since there is one case, there is naturally a second case, a third case.
Soon, several more cases of the virus were found and sent to the hospital.
As more and more people infected with the virus appeared, the whole city was thrown into a panic, and various rumors about the number of infections and deaths were spreading, which added to the panic, and many people began to pack their packages and prepare to flee with their families.
For a time, the atmosphere in Nanling City was depressed and tense to the extreme.
On the fifth day, the first case of type I virus infection in Nanling City died after rescue efforts failed.
It was on this night that Han Ye received a call from Xia Lin's roommate, saying that Xia Lin was a little uncomfortable and asked him to go over and take a look.
When Han Ye heard this, he quickly put down the homework at hand and rushed to Xia Lin's dormitory.
Charlene was lying on the bed at this time, sick and without any energy.
"What's wrong with you, why are you blushing as if you're drunk?" Han Ye teased with a smile.
Xia Lin said weakly: "I don't know, maybe when I went to take a bath yesterday, it was spread too little, I caught a cold, and now I have a headache." ”
"Yes? I'll see. Han Ye stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and couldn't help but be taken aback, Xia Lin's forehead was like a red-hot kettle, and it was very hot.
"You have a fever, and it's so bad, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the infirmary. ”
Charlene shook her head slightly: "It's okay, I've already taken cold medicine." It's just a small cold, no big deal. ”
"It's such a bad burn, it's not a small cold. Han Ye frowned, a little worried.
He stretched out two fingers and grabbed Charlene's wrist, injecting a trace of ancient divine power into it, wanting to check Charlene's condition.
If you don't check it, it's enough, but this inspection made his face change suddenly!
Charlene didn't have a cold at all!
He could clearly feel that an extremely fierce and terrifying toxin was raging in Charlene's body, wreaking havoc on her body!
The ferocity and weirdness of this poison were far from being comparable to those corpse poisons, and even he felt terrified!
