Chapter 235: The Death Zone
"A Chinese doctor who sees dealing with an unknown crisis as an opportunity for 'publicly-funded tourism' wants to speak?"
Everyone stared at Ye Tao with surprised eyes. The local officials did not look at Ye Tao differently because he was lazy during this time. The translator next to him said, "Dr. Ye, Minister Charles asked if you have anything to say. ā
Ye Tao smiled wryly. He said to the translator. "I guess you're mistaken. I'm Dr. Yip, not Dr. Yip. ā
The translator was dumbfounded. All of you are among the world's top medical experts! He confirmed with his colleagues again and again that he was sure that Ye Tao really didn't have any academic qualifications. "I'm sorry. Dr. Yip. What do you have to say? ā
"Could you please translate it for me. First, I don't think there is any need for the experts from the countries who performed the autopsies on the victims to continue to quarantine. They will also need to assist in the follow-up work. It would be wise to end their isolation early. ā
After the translator explained Ye Tao's request, a group of local officials talked about it. In the end, they didn't make a hasty decision. "Minister Charles would like to hear all your requests."
"I need the cooperation of your government in carrying out animal realization. Allow the animal to enter the missing area with the testing equipment. I would like to know the effects of the abnormal state of affairs in the Mount Gambier area on animals. ā
This time, several officials on the rostrum had a much longer discussion than just now. Eventually, it was the senior security official named Charles who put an end to the argument. He personally walked in front of Ye Tao with the translator. "I understand Dr. Yip's feelings. When the time comes, we will do our best to promote the realization of the animal. But at the moment......"
Ye Tao waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to say any more. He's also watched the news these days. "As an outsider, I don't really care what you do. It doesn't matter if your government is really pressured by animal protection groups to refuse animal practices. Please end Dr. Carter's medical isolation early. I'll take her back to China in a few days. ā
Minister Charles was somewhat embarrassed. He nodded. "I respect Dr. Yip's decision."
"These people are unreasonable!" Ye Tao scolded on the way back to his residence. "It's better for the medical elite to risk dissecting corpses than for animals to go into the lost area to find their way. Could it be that the lives of animals are worth more than human lives?! ā
Luo Li pouted and shook her head. "Although I love small animals, I also think these people are too pretentious."
"They insisted on sending people alive into the Gambier Hill area to die, but I couldn't control it. I don't know if Caterina is willing to leave this place with me. ā
Luo Li heard Ye Tao's off-string sound.
The Australian authorities eventually agreed to Ye's first request. This is because there does not appear to be any evidence that the cause of death was medically contagious. The previous quarantine was nothing more than an overreaction of the government in the face of an unknown crisis.
Caterina came out of the isolation room and was busy again. Ye Tao took advantage of the absence and said to her: "I plan to return to Huaxia in two days." Are you coming with me? ā
"I didn't see that I was discussing with Dr. Powell...... What the?! You want to go back? The blonde doctor was halfway through and suddenly turned back. Now the eyes of the world are focused on the Mount Gambier area. How many people want to participate in the survey. Are you in Australia and want to return home when things don't go your way? ā
Ye Tao shrugged. "I don't do meaningless things. So I didn't waste time going to autopsy the bodies of the victims with you. Right now...... Frankly, I don't want to watch people die. ā
The blonde doctor frowned. Her blue eyes looked at Ye Tao. "Surely you already know something. Tell me all your thoughts. ā
"This involves another principle of mine. I don't give an opinion in the absence of certainty. Unfortunately, the Australian government has rejected my animal real yĆ n's suggestion. I didn't have a chance to verify my guesses. What's the point of staying here? I'm not going to take the consequences with a group of people who don't want to use animals but risk their lives. ā
"What happens if a living person enters the missing area of Mount Gambier?"
"Death, very soon, without any warning, without any trace."
Caterina had a puzzled expression. "How can you be so sure?"
"Seeing with the eyes." Ye Tao smiled. "You're too discipline-oriented. Always trying to put the mysterious death into a certain box. Toxic gases, biotoxins, viruses...... It seems that if you don't put it in the box, you don't feel comfortable. Instead of searching in the fog, why not look at what is in front of you. The victims had no external injuries, could not have been infected with harmful viruses, and the deaths occurred in a specific area. These clues that you can see are ignored by you. ā
Caterina was speechless for a long time. If it weren't for Ye Tao's reminder, I'm afraid she would never have found herself in a mindset. "I think I kind of understand what you mean."
"It's good to understand. As long as a living creature dies after entering the 'death zone', I am 80% sure that I will be able to figure out the cause of its death. "Ye Tao's current spiritual power can already expand a considerable range." I just need to watch in a safe area. ā
The blonde doctor nodded thoughtfully. "There is a great moral resistance to getting the population to accept that animals are real. But we can try crouching in the death zone. Maybe there will be wildlife ......."
"Animals are much smarter than people." Ye Tao insinuated: "There are already so many people and animals dying in that area, and wild animals will hide in that area when they find danger." In fact, I spent the night near the quarantine area on the first night I arrived. All wildlife avoids the 'dead zone'. So I'm sure if the Australian government sends people in again, it will still be the same result as the first rescuers. ā
Caterina suddenly realized. No wonder Ye Tao has been hiding in the corner and dozing off on the first day of discussion. It turned out that she had misunderstood Ye Tao all along!
Ye Tao said: "My students are still waiting for me to go back to class. I'll fly back to China in two days. I hope you can come with me. I'm for your good. ā
Caterina was silent for a long time. If it is true that all the rescuers who re-entered the area will die, as Ye Tao said, then the saliva of public opinion will definitely drown all the members of the expert group. Ye Tao hoped that she would leave as soon as possible, also out of good intentions. But Caterina shook her head. "Can your conscience really be at peace when you leave like this?"
This time it was Ye Tao's turn to be silent. "But what if you don't leave. Waiting to see the follow-up rescuers also die there and then be infamous on their backs? ā
Caterina leaned into Ye Tao's ear and whispered a few words. Ye Tao's eyes widened. "Are you sure it's okay?" "You yourself said that human life is far more important than a few cats and dogs!" "Then let's do it......"
