Chapter 232
The iceberg of the Wei family, which hides itself underwater, is about to surface. Its sheer size will exceed anyone's imagination. And Ye Tao, who gave the Wei family a painful blow, also became a person hated by the Wei family. However, this qiē has nothing to do with Ye Tao for the time being. He was sitting on the plane flying out of the land of China at this time.
The display screen is playing the news of Ye Tao's destination.
“…… It has been more than 50 hours since the Gambier Hills area lost contact with the outside world two days ago. So far, 75 bodies have been recovered, including 25 rescuers who tried to enter the missing area of Mount Gambier. Nothing is known about the missing area of Mount Gambier. However, some experts have extrapolated that the final death toll could be in the thousands, based on the number of local residents and tourists. At present, the Chinese Consulate General in the local area has received a report that there are Chinese tourists in the missing areas of the Gambier Mountain area. The relevant leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued instructions requesting ......"
An hour ago, Ye Tao was still gagging with a long-legged beauty in the provincial hospital. But now he is flying to a continent in the Pacific Ocean to investigate a mysterious disappearance. Luo Li pushed Ye Tao's shoulder. She had been holding this glass of water for ten minutes, but Ye Tao was still in a daze.
Ye Tao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly took the water from Luo Li's hand. "Thank you."
Ye Tao originally wanted to bring Wei Ping. But the long-legged beauty stayed on the grounds that the Chinese medicine clinic needed someone to sit down. Ye Tao hurriedly could only take Luo Li, a child-like little nurse, to fly to the unknown Australia. After Luo Li finished pouring water for Ye Tao, she also sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the floating clouds outside, stunned. As if talking to herself, she said: "I passed through there on my trip to Australia the previous summer. The people there are very hospitable. And I often meet Chinese tourists......"
Caterina sat down next to Lori at some point. The blonde doctor patted Luo Li on the shoulder and comforted her.
Caterina poked her head out and said to Ye Tao, "Our task is to find out what is going on there. Only by figuring out what happened could rescue forces enter the Gambier Hill area in search of possible survivors. Don't get your hopes up too much, though. Caterina handed over a faxed internal report. It was to the effect that after verification, the communication situation in the missing area of Mount Gambier was normal, and there was also a message for help earlier. But until the last twenty-four hours there was only discouraging silence.
Ye Tao took the fax that was specially translated for him, glanced at it hastily, and handed it back to Katarina. "What do you think is going on in the missing area of Mount Gambier?"
"Terrorist attacks, harmful gas leaks, and perhaps even a terrible infectious disease that has never been seen before. Rescue forces cannot penetrate, and all possibilities cannot be ruled out. In fact, the Australian government has listed as many as two dozen possibilities. Every possibility should be discussed rigorously. We were summoned by the WHO to explore the possibility of infectious diseases. Katerina shrugged. It's a stupid idea, but at least it doesn't have to take a bigger risk. As you are well aware, more than two dozen rescuers died mysteriously while wearing gas masks and other protective equipment. ”
"What about corpses? An autopsy should rule out a lot of possibilities. ”
Caterina shook her head. She lowered her voice and said, "The corpses are all sealed and isolated. The most important thing now is that there must be no more unnecessary casualties. See what I mean? ”
Ye Tao sighed heavily. "Understood. If there are casualties again, someone will definitely bear the blame afterwards. "There have now been small-scale demonstrations in several major Australian cities to protest the government's ineffective response and lead the death of 25 rescue workers. The Australian government is not willing to take any more risks......"
"But if the government doesn't act, the public protests will only get louder." A gray-haired middle-aged man in his forties suddenly interjected into the conversation. Ye Tao recognized him as the head of the diplomatic department accompanying him. The middle-aged man waved his hand to signal that several people did not need to get up deliberately. He squeezed into the seat next to Ye Tao. "I haven't had a chance to introduce myself yet. I'm Fang Xueren, Deputy Director General of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Security of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can call me Lao Fang. ”
Fang Xueren stared at Ye Tao for a while and said. "I've heard my father talk about you."
Ye Tao guessed Fang Xueren's identity after thinking about it slightly. He smiled and nodded. "Deputy Director Fang is in the prime of life, don't work too hard when you work, you are tired and your health is not good." Fang Xueren patted his gray hair and sighed. "It is said that human life is a matter of heaven. The safety of foreign-related citizens is even more worrying. Just like how many Chinese people are in this incident, I haven't verified it yet. How could I not worry about it. ”
Fang Xueren and Caterina nodded. He asked: "You are both professionals, especially Dr. Ye is very eye-catching in the process of prevention and control of new infectious pneumonia in Suzhou and Hangzhou. How likely are you to think this incident is caused by an unknown virus? ”
Ye Tao replied: "This has to be looked at separately. ”
"Oh?" Fang Xueren didn't understand too much.
Caterina understood what Ye Tao meant. "In general, it is not very likely to be caused by the virus," she explained. This is because viruses rarely exhibit such distinct regional transmission characteristics. I think Director Fang should understand what I mean, right? ”
Fang Xueren nodded. "Yes. The missing area is limited to an area of more than a dozen kilometers in the Gambier Hill area. ”
"So Dr. Ye and I both think that in general, it is unlikely that there will be an epidemic. Unless it's a special case. ”
"Terrorist attack?!"
Ye Tao nodded with Caterina and didn't say anything more. Fang Xueren confessed: "You take advantage of the time on the road to rest. Once you arrive at the place of the incident, it is difficult to have time to rest. Fang Xueren pointed to his gray hair before leaving. I know this very well. ”
Katerina waited for Fang Xueren to leave before continuing: "I think the biggest possibility at the moment is a terrorist attack. It is possible that it is a newly synthesized biochemical virus. The blonde female doctor looked at Ye Tao, hoping that he would also mention his own opinion. Ye Tao shook his head. "I wouldn't have made any comments without seeing the patient."
Caterina hated it but was helpless. She muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's not a formal occasion to exchange views in private. ”
Fang Xueren did not lie to the two. As soon as the two landed, they were taken by car to a university in a nearby city. Health experts from all over the world gather in a large conference room. Caterina greeted a few acquaintances and engaged in a heated discussion. Ye Tao has no interest in such "brainstorming". He asked Luo Li to borrow a cartoon eye patch, and sat in the corner with headphones on and fell asleep.
Ye Tao had just arrived, and he didn't rest well, and most people expressed understanding. But a few US imperialist experts don't care so much. They gathered together and came to Ye Tao's side. They wanted to make a move, but the sleeping Ye Tao snored like thunder, which actually suppressed their momentum a little......
