Nan Zhiqiao usually looks cold, but he didn't expect it to be so touching when he talks about love, and every sentence is in Zhen Zhen's heart.

Ye Zhenzhen's face turned crimson, and she said with the remaining reason: "Oh, then Senior Nan will take it back first, and wait until he comes back from the anti-epidemic rescue in West Africa." ”

"No, you're going to keep the ring today. ”

"Why? Didn't you say that you could think about it for a few days? Besides, the 'Life Ring' ring is an heirloom of the Nan family, you should be cautious about giving it away, Senior Nan, you can still bless you with it." ”

"It's only symbolic, it doesn't bless anyone, and the last time it was proof that Mother didn't come back safely with it, and besides, the ring had other tasks. ”

"What task?"

"I want you to take it with you every day, as long as you see it, you will think of me, and during the days when I went to West Africa, you could only think of me in your heart, not about other people. ”

Ye Zhenzhen smiled, "There are no other men around me, and even if there are, they are all neutral to me." ”

Nan Zhiqiao was also amused, "Neutral? Okay, a child like Gao Xiaowei shouldn't be neutral." ”

Ye Zhenzhen smiled in her heart, this senior Nan is still thinking about the last blind date, but I didn't expect that in this kind of thing, the cold Nan Dashen is still a little cautious.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Well, he is still a minor in my eyes, so it's okay." ”

Nan Zhiqiao personally put the ring necklace around Zhen Zhen's neck, looked at it quietly for two seconds, and then instructed: "You are not allowed to take it off, and you can't take it off when you sleep at night." ”

"What about baths? Shower gel will corrode the ring. ”

"It doesn't matter, diamonds are not afraid, platinum chains are not afraid, in short, you have to carry it all the time. ”

"Okay, I'll always take it, now you can rest assured. ”

Nan Zhiqiao nodded a little childlike.

Nan Zhiqiao's goal was achieved, the confession was clear, and the ring was given to his sweetheart, everything was expected, and he gave a few more instructions before sending Zhen Zhen upstairs.

——

Early the next morning, Ye Zhenzhen still ran to the airport to see her off, but quietly saw her off, hiding in the distance and watching the rescue team board the plane, without letting Nan Zhiqiao find out.

Seeing the plane leave, Ye Zhenzhen hurriedly returned to the central laboratory.

In the following days, Ye Zhenzhen counted her fingers, looking forward to the stars and the moon, looking forward to Nan Zhiqiao's return, and also looking forward to Nan Zhiqiao's phone call or email.

Over the past few days, through the photos and text content sent, Ye Zhenzhen slowly learned about Nan Zhiqiao's whereabouts.

On the day of departure, the rescue team took more than 20 hours along the way after a transfer flight to arrive at the Freetown Lunji International Airport in Sierra Leone.

After meeting with the local health authorities, the rescue team assisted the local hospital in testing people suspected of Ebola infection, and then isolated and treated the positive patients.

In order not to worry Ye Zhenzhen, Nan Zhiqiao deliberately took a few scenic photos in the downtown area of Freetown in his spare time and sent them back, including the vast Atlantic Ocean in front of the city, the lush mountains behind the city, the white ancient castle-like presidential palace, the magnificent parliament building on Tower Hill, and the huge kapok tree in the city center......

Looking at the landscape photos sent back by Nan Zhiqiao, that is, there are no hospitals or photos related to the Ebola epidemic, Ye Zhenzhen deliberately looked for the figures of the locals in the photos, searched and searched, and found a few local black people in one of them, without wearing masks, Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, the locals did not wear masks, maybe this Ebola epidemic is not as serious as the news report said.

As soon as this illusion arose, the next day, Nan Zhiqiao sent another set of text messages, which basically meant that there were new cases of Ebola in eastern Sierra Leone, because there were several experts in the field investigation of infectious diseases in the Chinese rescue team, and Nan Zhiqiao also had a few local doctors and several volunteers from Doctors Without Borders to form a temporary rescue team and rush to the eastern mountainous areas where there were new cases.

In the mountainous eastern part of Sierra Leone, on the border with Guinea and Liberia, the place where Nan Zhiqiao's rescue team is going is in the border mountains of the three countries.

As one of the poorest countries in West Africa, Sierra Leone naturally did not have a network signal in the remote mountainous areas in the east, so in order to cooperate with the on-site epidemiological investigation, it specially carried the Inmarsat Global Mobile Phone (GSPS) donated by International Mobile Satellite Corporation to ensure smooth communication.

Along the way, Nan Zhiqiao sent back a few photos from time to time, all of which were local customs, and there was no shadow of the Ebola epidemic, there were isolated primitive villages in the photos, the innocent smiling faces of a group of African children, small rivers in the mountains, shrub branches taller than people, and diamond mines, and there were many black workers around the mine who manually shook diamonds from the muddy water. The setting of Blood Diamond. ”

Blood diamonds, also known as blood diamonds and conflict diamonds, refer to diamonds mined in war zones and produced by opposing parties to legitimate governments. Ye Zhenzhen has also seen the movie "Blood Diamond", the bloody scene in it is still vivid, and she can't help but touch the "Life Ring" ring hanging between the neck, the rough diamond of this ring was also brought from Africa, I don't know if it is a blood diamond.

As if telepathically, Nan Zhiqiao immediately sent another message, "The 'Life Ring' ring is not a blood diamond, it was bought by my grandfather from the official market in Namibia back then, and you can wear it with confidence." ”

Ye Zhenzhen also playfully replied with a message, "Are you going for sightseeing? Why don't you have a picture related to the epidemic?"

Soon there was a reply, "Why not, those are the natural foci of the Ebola virus epidemic just now, and we must learn to find clues from them." ”

Well, what Nanda God said was justified.

Nan Zhiqiao's rescue team quickly arrived at the eastern village where the epidemic broke out, and in the next few days, Nan Zhiqiao only occasionally sent a few messages back, but there were no photos.

From several pieces of information, Ye Zhenzhen sorted out the ins and outs of the rescue team's discovery of the epidemic.

In a small village in the mountains on the border of the trilateral border, a two-year-old baby began to develop fever, vomiting, and black feces after being bitten by a fruit bat, and the baby died four days after the onset of the disease. Tracing the families of the dead babies revealed a chain reaction of Ebola virus infection.

After the death of the two-year-old baby, his three-year-old sister also died five days later, with symptoms of fever, vomiting and melena.

The baby's grandmother followed suit and died three days later.

Several people from outside the village also attended the funeral for my grandmother, and in the days that followed, people who had attended the funeral also developed symptoms, and the Ebola virus spread further and further as people came to the funeral, and the outbreak expanded.
