Chapter 20: The Comatose Man

After spending the night in the cave, Elous went to the valley early the next morning to see the cage traps laid down.

There was prey in each cage, and two wild monkeys broke into the trap, and Eros easily caught two monkeys.

Irus lifted the cage and the monkey onto the buggy and returned the same way.

Back in Case, Irus sent the monkeys to the monkey farm, where the larger one sold for $20 and the smaller one for $18.

After Martin finished speaking, Dr. Sky wanted to follow the path that Eroth had walked and re-walk, maybe he could find clues related to the new virus.

Martin advises Dr. Sky, "Don't go to the forest alone, it's easy to get lost, and the forest is very dangerous, buffalo will attack humans, and the tribal villagers in the forest have been attacked and killed by buffalo." Elous dared to go into the forest alone because he was experienced, and because he had a gun with him, and he went to places he knew. ”

Doctor Sky finally discouraged the idea of going to the forest alone, and even if he did, he would take a few more people with him, preferably Doctor Nan from China.

After investigating Aurus's whereabouts in the forest, Dr. Sky prepares to leave the South Valley Lumber Mills.

Before leaving, Dr. Sky casually asked, "Why isn't Li Gang here?" ”

Martin sighed helplessly: "He's sick, he's taking time off to rest, and I've been doing his work for the past few days." ”

"Sick?!" Dr. Sky trembled in his heart, Li Gang had taken care of Elous, and had a history of close contact with Elous, and it was not a good sign to be sick at this time.

Dr. Sky was going to see Li Gang, and Martin was happy to lead the way.

Li Gang lives in the dormitory building of the South Valley Lumber Mill, not far from the South Valley Lumber Mill, on the edge of the small town of Case.

Coming out of the South Valley Lumber Mill and turning a low, hillside wood, a four-story dormitory building came into view.

Li Gang's dormitory was at the end of the east side of the second floor, and Martin led Dr. Sky to the door of the dormitory, which was closed.

Martin reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response, and he shouted twice, still no response.

"Are you going out? You're sick, where are you going?" Martin stood at the door of Li Gang's dormitory, hesitating, did he go to the clinic?

Dr. Sky asked Martin, "Do you have Li Gang's mobile phone number?"

"Yes. ”

Martin took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Gang's mobile phone number, and a low mobile phone ringtone came out of the room through the crack in the door.

Dr. Sky and Martin looked at each other.

Martin asked, "Li Gang always carries his phone with him. ”

"Do you have a spare key?"

"I don't, but the security room downstairs does. ”

Martin hurried downstairs, grabbed the key, and hurried upstairs.

When they opened the door, they were stunned at the same time.

I saw that the room was stained with blood, there was black vomit on the floor, there were blood stains on the sheets, and there was a fluffy black mass under the quilt.

Dr. Sky walked past the vomit on the floor and walked to the bed, lifting the quilt to reveal a dark-haired man inside.

The man was bare-chested, wearing only a large dark blue pants, and his yellow skin was covered with purple-red bleeding spots.

The man's eyes were closed, and it was none other than Li Gang, the head of the Nangu Lumber Mill.

Martin exclaimed, "Oh my God, how could this be? ”

Reached out and tested the man's snort, and there was still breath.

Dr. Sky picked up the bedside clothes, winked at Martin, and said, "Get him dressed and get to the hospital." ”

The two of them hurriedly dressed Li Gang and carried people downstairs.

An off-road vehicle was found from the Nangu Lumber Mill and the unconscious Li Gang was helped into the back seat, and an Asian driver named Xiao Liu drove the car, ready to take Li Gang to the hospital.

"The clinic in the town is close to here. Martin did as he pleased, letting the car go in the direction of the Keys Town Clinic.

"No, the small town clinic can't handle the situation, go to Kenema. Dr. Sky instructed the driver to go to Kenema, the nearest big city to the town of Keys.

Xiao Liu, a Chinese man in his twenties, is a distant relative of Li Gang in China, who usually works as a driver and secretary for Li Gang at the Nangu Lumber Mill.

The young Xiao Liu thought about it, Mr. Li's current situation looked very serious, and he couldn't save his life by going to the small clinic in the town, and he was still delayed.

Xiao Liu resolutely followed Dr. Sky's instructions and drove in the direction of Kenema.

The small town of Keith is about an hour's drive from Kenema.

On the way, the unconscious Li Gang vomited twice, and the black and red sticky vomit was scattered in the back seat of the car, and Dr. Sky took care of the patient while instructing the driver, Xiao Liu, "This vomit may be infectious, and when you get to the hospital in Kenema, take some disinfectant to disinfect the car." ”

The driver, Xiao Liu, agreed.

As we approached the city of Kenema, there was a fork in the road.

Xiao Liu followed the signs and prepared to go to the Kenema Government Hospital, but Dr. Sky pointed to another road, a road to the suburban infectious disease prevention and control center.

The driver, Xiao Liu, "chuckled" in his heart.

Xiao Liu, who has been at the Nangu lumber mill for two years, experienced last year's Ebola outbreak, when many Ebola patients and suspected infected people were sent to the Infectious Disease Control Center for treatment, and locals talked about the place with fear.

The driver, Xiao Liu, parked the car at the fork in the road and hesitated: "Doctor Sky, do you want to send Mr. Li to the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Center for isolation?"

Xiao Liu's tone was faintly worried, and Dr. Sky comforted: "It is a professional infectious disease hospital, and the hospital design and medical staff are the best, and Mr. Li will get the best treatment there." ”

Xiao Liu glanced back at Mr. Li in the back seat of the car, his distant cousin was dying, and it was better to listen to the advice of a professional doctor now.

Turn around and head to the Infectious Disease Control Center on the outskirts of Kenema.

With the previous experience of Aelous, the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Center directly sent the unconscious Li Gang to the isolation ward for first aid.

Li Gang was lying on the emergency bed, bleeding from every hole in his body, and the emergency doctor was helpless in the face of this situation.

The doctor gave Li Gang's arm a needle and blood transfusion, but the blood flow did not stop at the location of the needle hole, and the blood transfused was not as much as it flowed out.

At the same time as the rescue, an even worse situation occurred, and the patient, Lee, began to have convulsions and spasms, which are symptoms of pathogen invasion of the brain.

Without waiting for the emergency doctor to take other treatment methods, Li Gang's heartbeat and breathing suddenly stopped.

Li Gang died, twenty minutes after being sent to the isolation ward of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Center, in an emergency bed.

Dr. Sky, Martin, and driver Xiao Liu, who accompanied Li Gang, were all in shock and fear.

For Li Gang's colleague, Martin, and driver Xiao Liu, Li Gang's death is the departure of a leader, a relative, and a fresh life.

For Dr. Sky, Li Gang's death was a sign that the disease was beginning to spread.
