204. Viral mutations

Cai Houyong reluctantly took out his wallet and said, "How much?"

"There are ten on September 10th, twenty on the 11th, and ...... on the 13th" Village Chief Gou took out a soft copy with a photo of a glamorous female star on a plastic cover, and calculated it slowly: "There are two hundred and fifty-two in total!"

"It's three hundred yuan, don't look for it!" Cai Houyong paid him.

"Hehe, he is worthy of being a big cadre from Yanjing, he is generous. When the township cadres come to our village, they always eat and drink for nothing, and I don't bird them!" Gou Erdan happily took the three hundred yuan, folded it neatly and put it in his pocket, pressed it twice, put on a smile and arrogant prince, and said with a posture of not taking the township cadres in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go to the village committee. Zhang Jiangfeng said with a wry smile.

Gou Erdan took out a little tobacco from the cloth bag hanging from the red copper tobacco pouch pot, stuffed it into the dry tobacco pot, smoked it with a click, swayed his head and led the way, and walked towards the village committee.

The village committee is in the west of the village, at this time, it is already meal, and under the dim street lamp, the villagers who are not sick gather in twos and threes to enjoy a cool meal.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jiang Fengye Fan wearing protective clothing passing by, he immediately stepped forward, surrounded them, and eagerly asked if there was any possibility of cure and whether progress had been made.

Zhang Jiangfeng looked at the faces of the villagers full of enthusiasm and felt a deep sense of responsibility, and he said emotionally: "Thank you for your understanding and support for our work. You have to have confidence in the Government and the Working Group. ”

He pointed to Ye Fan behind him and said, "This is Ye Fan, the No. 1 divine doctor in Lingnan, with superb medical skills and wonderful hands. They came out of here to solve this problem......"

Swish!

They surrounded Ye Fan again, and a seven or eight-year-old girl cried instantly, grabbed Ye Fan's protective clothing gloves, and said expectantly: "Doctor, you must cure my grandfather's illness, he said that he wanted to watch me be admitted to university...... You must let him live...... You're a miracle doctor, you must have a way, right?"

Ye Fan stroked his head lovingly, and said, "Don't worry, my uncle promised you that he will definitely return a healthy grandfather to you, do you believe me?"

"Believe. The girl raised her innocent little face and said with a smile, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing, she stuffed two hard-boiled eggs into Ye Fan's hands, and said: "This is the egg laid by the old hen I raised, it is natural, give it to my uncle for supper! If my uncle wants to eat chicken, I will kill that chicken......"

"Thank you. Ye Fan grabbed the two eggs and choked in his throat.

Ye Fan looked at the little girl, and saw that the liberation shoes she was wearing were worn out, and even her thumb was exposed, which showed that her life was very difficult.

Ye Fan knew that although these two eggs were not a heavy gift, for this little girl, they were the best gift she could take.

Bidding farewell to the villagers, under the gaze of their hopeful eyes, Ye Fan and they came to the village committee.

Just arrived at the door, Ye Fan suddenly found a familiar figure - He Xin!

I saw her with a colleague, holding a camera, and talking anxiously with the soldiers guarding the door. But the soldier waved his hand resolutely and rejected her.

She didn't follow up on such important news as the Lingnan Famous Doctor Conference, it turned out that she was here.

Ye Fan touched his nose and walked to her side and said, "He Xin, why are you here?"

"Huh?" He Xin turned his head in astonishment when he heard Ye Fan's voice, and then shouted in surprise: "Ye Fan, you are here too!"

"Well, I was originally attending the Lingnan Famous Doctors Conference, and because the epidemic situation here is strict, I came to support. Ye Fan explained with a smile: "Elder Wu, they are all here. ”

"Hello!" He Xin walked to Wu Zishan's side, glanced at Wu Qingdai and said with a smile: "Old man Wu, we have finally met! My previous report has caused you a lot of trouble and damaged your old man's reputation, I apologize to you!"

"Am I old?" Wu Zishan joked generously.

Then he pointed at Ye Fan and said, "You're right. The No. 1 Miracle Doctor in Lingnan is Ye Fan! No, he just won the award! Reporter He, you are very prescient!"

This is Zhang Jiangfeng, director of the Epidemic Prevention Center of the Ministry of Health. Ye Fan introduced Zhang Jiangfeng to He Xin. He Xin was introduced to Zhang Jiangfeng and said: "This is He Xin reporter from Lingnan TV and a famous program supporter!"

"Hello Director Zhang!" He Xin came over to shake hands.

Zhang Jiangfeng held her hand and said: "Reporter He, you disregarded the danger of your life and went deep into the front line to interview and report, your dedication is amazing, I admire it!"

"Director Zhang, don't put a high hat on me. ”

He Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The process of entering the epidemic area is very difficult, and I can't even have a press card! I finally contacted the Huzhong Provincial Government and allowed me to enter for interviews, but ......" She pointed to the door of the village committee, "I was stopped here again!"

"Reporter, you have to understand us. We are well aware of the importance of the public's right to know, and we have no intention of concealing the actual situation at the scene, but this sand lice is even more ferocious than the SARS epidemic back then, and we are mainly out of the consideration of your personal safety. Zhang Jiangfeng said with a smile.

He didn't lie, Zhong Shanyue was removed from the title of leader of the working group because he concealed the actual situation in the epidemic area from the ministry and the public.

As soon as Zhang Jiangfeng arrived, he immediately announced the actual situation in the epidemic area, including the number of patients, the cure rate and other important information.

"I should be fine wearing a hazmat suit just like you. He Xin pleaded.

Zhang Jiangfeng hesitated, to be honest, he understood He Xin's feelings, but he was also afraid that if He Xin was infected with the virus, it would be more than worth the loss.

He Xin said firmly: "Being a journalist is not only my professional identity, but also a way for me to survive, and my duty as a journalist is to investigate the truth of the facts and make it public." This is my mission. For this, I am not sorry to die. ”

"Okay! I allow you to interview, but you must wear protective clothing and pay attention to safety!" Zhang Jiangfeng looked at He Xin's determined eyes, and finally agreed.

"Okay! Thank you!" He Xin and the colleague who was carrying the camera changed into protective clothing brought by Cai Houyong and said with a smile.

At that moment, I heard a terrible voice: "Ah, I've been bitten by sand lice! Oh my God! Help! I don't want to die!"

Ye Fan hurriedly pushed open the door of the village committee compound, and saw a man in protective clothing rolling on the ground, it was not someone else, it was Jiang Dawei.

Zhang Jiangfeng walked over with a solemn face, and saw that Jiang Dawei's protective mask had been opened, and shouted coldly: "Why did he open the mask?"

His sweat stained the protective mask, and when he looked at the patient's ulcer, he couldn't see clearly, so he took it off. Then ......" A middle-aged doctor said with a look of horror on his face, "and then a few bugs suddenly crawled out of the patient's ulcer wound and jumped on Dr. Jiang's face......"

"Quick, prepare syringes, antibiotics!" Zhang Jiangfeng saw that several doctors under Jiang Dawei were obviously frightened, and they were all stunned, and he gave orders on his face.

"Yes!" everyone suddenly realized and moved quickly.

At this time, Ye Fan was extremely calm to observe the ulcer of the patient Jiang Dawei was treating before.

The first thing that shocked him was that the ulcer was huge, and the place on his chest was almost completely rotten, and he could no longer see the complete skin, which was full of red flesh. Moreover, the ulcer still has a tendency to penetrate deep into the body, and the muscles and blood vessels are rotten.

The most terrifying thing is that from those flesh buds, some small black insects the size of soybean grains kept crawling out, and there were a lot of small insects, like a black river, crawling out quickly and densely, shocking, making people feel creepy.

As soon as they touched the air, they immediately jumped up and were extremely aggressive, and pounced on the surrounding crowd, and several doctors had to take out the disinfectant and spray it.

The scene was immediately filled with a mist composed of liquid medicine, but Rao was so, and those little insects were also fearless, lying on the patient's bare skin, biting wildly, and there was a ghost crying wolf howl at the scene.

Several doctors were so anxious that they sprayed the liquid even more violently, and then the little worms sensed the power of the medicine, let out a terrifying squeak, and then scattered and fled, disappearing in an instant.

"They can actually parasitize in the human body, and they have become bigger......" Zhang Jiangfeng had a look of despair on his face, his eyes were full of horror, and he muttered to himself.

Previously, they had thoroughly examined the patient's body and found no parasitic phenomena. Sand lice do not lay eggs in the human body, but by moist streams of water. Moreover, the original sand lice were only the size of a sesame seed, but now they are the size of a soybean grain!

Could it be that in such a short period of time, they have mutated again?

For a moment, a terrible thought appeared in Zhang Jiangfeng's mind: this kind of sand lice that can quickly mutate cannot be produced out of thin air at all, and can only be made in the real yàn room!

Are they biological or chemical weapons made by some hostile countries?

"Oh no!" a middle-aged doctor said anxiously, "Dr. Jiang has a large ulcer on his face, and he has a low-grade fever!"

Zhang Jiangfeng's gaze fell on Jiang Dawei's face again, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

I saw that the skin on Jiang Dawei's face was rapidly festering at a speed visible to the naked eye, his mouth spit out white foam, his pupils dilated, and his body was obviously in extreme pain, constantly swinging, and spasms violently.

"It's itchy!" he let out a howl of pain, and reached out to scratch his cheek, but was held down by two doctors, and then his body struggled violently, and screamed, "It hurts!"

An even more terrifying scene happened!

A sand lice actually came out of his ear, flapping its claws and chirping, and its sound was so terrible that it made people feel creepy.

It seemed to stretch out its front paws in a majestic manner, and bared its teeth and claws at the crowd.

"What should I do?" everyone's faces turned pale, and there was only one emotion in their eyes—despair!

They are anxious, but they can't do anything about it.

Sand lice have apparently mutated again, not only growing in size but also becoming resistant to pesticides. The antibiotics at the moment are completely ineffective! They can only watch Jiang Dawei die!
