Chapter 21: Tribal Customs

Although Martin and the driver Xiao Liu were very sad, they were also thinking about how to deal with Li Gang's aftermath next, and Martin was thinking about who would take over the Nangu Timber Mill after Mr. Li's death? The driver, Xiao Liu, was even more sad and thought about how to inform Mr. Li's family in China.

Dr. Sky wondered, what could be done to control the spread of this terrible infectious disease?

Through the death of Li Gang, Dr. Sky can be sure that Li Gang must have been infected while taking care of Aurus.

Dr. Sky called to inform Minami of the new death today.

After hearing the news, Nan Zhiqiao felt that the situation was not good, and the infectious disease caused by the new virus began to spread, and it affected the employees of the Nanmu Group overseas, so it was time to investigate in person.

Minami no Joe asked Dr. Sky to put together a written report on the whole thing, including the first case, Aelus, the results of the on-site investigation into Aelus, the death reports of the monkey farm owner Kay, the cleaner Kupper, and the head of the Namic Valley Lumber Mill, Li Gang, and the possibility of the rapid spread of the virulent infectious disease.

The written report was reported at the first level, and the local government health department began to pay attention to it, and Nan Zhiqiao participated in this matter as an infectious disease assistance expert.

The training program in Liberty City came to an end for the time being, and Nan Zhiqiao drove an off-road vehicle and took Ye Zhenzhen to the infectious disease prevention and control center on the outskirts of Kenema.

Li Gang's body is still parked in the morgue of the Center for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control.

Because Li Gang died of a suspected virulent infectious disease, according to regulations, the body must be sparked and cannot be transported back to China.

The Nangu Timber Mill notified Li Gang's family members in China, who were busy applying for visas and flying over.

Nan Zhiqiao airlifted the blood tissue samples collected from Li Gang back to China, one to Li Guoshou at the Guojing Medical Center, and the other to the laboratory of the Gao Institute of Infectious Diseases of the China CDC.

The Guojing Medical Center, where Li Guoyi is located, is a newly built laboratory with world-class experimental equipment, and the laboratory of the Gaoyi Institute is also advanced in equipment and has experienced staff.

After receiving the specimens, the two laboratories in China began to work overtime to process them, and Nan Zhiqiao sent the detailed information of the cases from the specimens back to China by email.

At the same time, Minami no Jo, who was in Kenema, also began to work to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

First of all, people who have been in contact with the four deceased should be quarantined and observed.

The four deceased are the first fatal case, Aelous, the owner of the monkey farm, Kay, the cleaner of the monkey farm, Kupper, and Li Gang, the head of the Nangu lumber mill.

The four deceased were all residents of the small town of Keyes, Irus and Li Gang were from the South Valley Lumber Mill, the owner of the monkey farm, Kay, and the cleaner of the monkey farm, Kupper, were from the monkey farm, and the owner of the monkey farm, Kay, was the owner of the North Eagle Lumber Mill, and had contact with the workers of the North Eagle Lumber Mill, and the cleaner Kupper returned home after getting sick, which is a small tribal village near the town of Keyes, and Kupper's funeral was also held in the village, and there were many people who attended the funeral and touched Kupper's body, including Kupper's relatives and acquaintances of the same tribe。

The crowd split up, with Nan Zhi Qiao and Vera Ye going to the South Valley Lumber Mill, and Dr. Sky going to the North Eagle Lumber Mill.

For the contact population of the South Valley Lumber Mill, because of the large number of people who have been in contact, the South Valley Lumber Mill has its own infirmary, and the people who have been in contact with Irus and Li Gang are directly arranged to be isolated and observed in the infirmary, and the contact population includes Asians and local blacks, and the people are also very cooperative.

The North Eagle lumber mill has had less contact with the owner, Kay, and the cleaner, Kupper, and are both local blacks, and the North Eagle lumber mill does not have its own infirmary, so it is temporarily isolated in a makeshift medical center near the Keys Town clinic.

More than half of the cleaner Kupper's tribe is a small village called Sanger, in the forest north of the town of Keyes, a kilometer away from the North Eagle Lumber Mill, and more than half of the people in the village attended Kupper's funeral.

After dealing with the affairs of the South Valley Lumber Mill and the North Eagle Lumber Mill, Nan Zhiqiao, Ye Zhenzhen, and Doctor Sky went to Sange Village together.

Nan no Qiao drove an SUV, and Dr. Sky showed the way because he had been to Sange Village once before.

The forest mountain road is difficult to travel, the mountain road is one kilometer in a straight line, and the off-road vehicle twists and turns in the forest, and it takes more than 20 minutes to reach the entrance of Sange Village.

On the muddy dirt road at the entrance of the village, two arm-thick trees fell to the ground, and the thick trunks and lush canopies blocked the dirt road into the village.

The SUV stopped in front of the fallen tree, and through the sparse trunk of the tree, you could see the thatched house in the village not far ahead.

"Who blocked the road?" asked Ye Zhenzhen in confusion.

Dr. Sky got up from the back seat of the SUV, looked into the village, and said to himself: "This road is the only way to enter and exit Sange Village, people from other villages will not come here to cut down trees to block the road, it must be done by the villagers of Sange Village, is there something big going on in the village?"

"What's the big deal? you need to lock the villagers in the village themselves?" asked Ye Zhenzhen curiously.

"There is a custom of the tribes here, whenever a big plague comes, they will block the passage at the entrance of the village with trees, and close their own villages, so that their own people do not go out, and people from outside are not allowed to enter. Dr. Sky explained with a slight nervousness.

Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself, this practice of the tribe is a bit like self-isolation, not to mention the effect, there must be a spread of disease in the village.

Nan Zhiqiao said to Dr. Sky, "Sky, you are familiar with this place, go and explain to the people in the village, we are doctors, and we are here to help them." ”

"Okay, I'll go find their chief. ”

Dr. Sky jumped out of the car and was about to bypass the branches of the trees on the road, when suddenly two black men in their prime rushed out of the village, armed with homemade rudimentary spears, and shouted intimidating at Dr. Sky as he tried to cross the barrier trees.

Dr. Sky immediately raised his hands above his head and explained his identity in the local language.

The two black men looked at the off-road vehicle behind the roadblock, and the two yellow people on the off-road vehicle, half-convinced.

Dr. Sky held up the medical medicine box he was carrying, put the red plus medical sign in front of the medicine box, and pointed to Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen on the off-road vehicle next to him, and explained to the two black men in local language, "We are all doctors. ”

One of the two black men, who was a little older, questioned Dr. Sky, who answered them all.

Soon, the two blacks made a gesture of giving way.

Dr. Sky explained in English to Nan Zhiqiao and Yip, "They only let me go in alone to see the chief, and you can go in again when I explain the situation to the chief." ”
