Chapter 357: Arrival in West Africa!

Overnight, the photo of Su Le crying silently because of a song on stage circulated wildly on the Internet.

The girl with a sweet appearance and a deep voice but a bald head is firmly remembered by everyone.

As soon as the video of the concert was released, Su Le's helpless crying immediately touched everyone, and she choked up with tears and sang "He doesn't love me", which has also become a classic in the minds of a generation.

On the Huaxia side, when countless people were affected by Su Le, and some even spontaneously began to look for who the person who made Su Le sad, the person in question, Hua Bing, had already arrived in West Africa with Ma Lei, and stepped on this barren land ravaged by the virus.

After a night's rest, the sky was just dawning, and Hua Bing and Ma Lei were ready to go.

Two people were eating breakfast at the hotel where they were staying, and a man in his thirties walked over surrounded by several soldiers with Chinese flags on their chests.

"Doctor Hua, Doctor Ma, hello!" The man greeted them.

Judging from his clothes, he should not be a person in the army, but a scientific researcher.

"Hello, you're Dr. Sun Qian, right?" Hua Bing got up and shook hands with Sun Qian.

He and Ma Lei had already received a notice last night that a doctor of virology named Sun Qian would come and take the two to the epidemic area today.

"Yes, I am Sun Qian." Sun Qian smiled and said, "Doctor Jiu Yanghua's name, I finally saw you today." You're much younger than I thought, and you're really young! ”

"Don't dare to be." Hua Bing simply said politely, then went straight to the point and asked, "When are we leaving?" ”

"You can go now." Sun Qian thought for a while and said, "It's very troublesome to come out after entering the epidemic area, so please make full preparations." ”

"It's ready." Hua Bing said.

After following Sun Qian into the military armored car, the three of them rushed to the epidemic area under the protection of the army.

The road was very bumpy, and looking through the car window, there were patches of low, dilapidated bungalows, and black-skinned West Africans were dressed in rags and emaciated, which made people feel deep sympathy for them after seeing them.

He couldn't bear to look at those people again, Hua Bing said to Sun Qian, "Dr. Sun, tell us about the situation of the Echra virus." ”

"Okay."

Sun Qian nodded and began to explain to the two: "The Echra virus has a history of many years, and it was first discovered by humans in southern Sudan in 1976. When the human body is infected with the Eqira virus, it will develop a very terrible hemorrhagic fever, which is manifested as nausea, vomiting, body aches, fever, internal bleeding and external bleeding. ”

Ma Lei was slightly surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "The symptoms are very similar to the Marburg virus!" ”

"That's right, both viruses belong to the fibriviridae family." Sun Qian replied.

"Since it's the same kind of virus, isn't there a solution to the Marburg virus to try to solve the Echra virus?" Hua Bing asked.

"I tried, but it didn't work." Sun Gan's face was very solemn, and he said slowly: "Although the two viruses are of the same family, the reasons for their formation are not the same, and now we have not found out how the Echra virus spreads, so we have no way to start." ”

"No wonder." Hua Bing said with emotion.

It stands to reason that two similar virus solutions should be similar.

However, if the source of the virus cannot be found, the same virus cannot be solved in the same way.

"The most important thing is that the Echra virus is much more terrifying than the Marburg virus, and now the biosafety level of the Echra virus is marked as level four, and the Marburg virus only has level one." Sun Qian explained seriously.

"Level 1 and Level 4? Does it make any difference? Ma Lei asked strangely.

Level 1 to level 4, there is only a difference of three levels in the middle, and three levels can be described as terrifying?

"The difference is too great." Hua Bing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said, "Let me tell you this, the biosafety level of HIV and SARS viruses is only level three. ”

"What?!" Ma Lei was taken aback.

HIV and SARS viruses who don't know what they are?

Then the terrifying virus biosafety level is only level three, and the Echra virus is even one level higher than them, it is level four!

"Don't be surprised." Sun Qian looked at Ma Lei and said slowly: "The mortality rate of the Echra virus is nearly 90 percent, and it is not surprising that there is a four-level biosafety level. ”

"Oh my God......" Ma Lei was a little stunned, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of mission did I choose to participate in......

"Haha."

Seeing his appearance, Hua Bing next to him laughed and patted him on the shoulder, Hua Bing said: "If you come, you will be safe, with Uncle Shi here, you will not be in danger." ”

"Huh." Ma Lei laughed dryly.

Hua Bing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and instead continued to ask Sun Gan: "Are there any precautions after we enter the epidemic area?" ”

"I didn't pay much attention to entering the epidemic area, because the epidemic area was also divided into two areas."

Sun Qian took out a document and said while reading it: "The epidemic area is surrounded by ordinary areas, which can be operated normally, and medical personnel, researchers and troops from various countries are stationed in ordinary areas. However, if you want to enter the quarantine area in the middle, you must wear an isolation suit. ”

"Still wearing isolation gowns?" Ma Lei was about to cry.

"Yes. Contact with body fluids, skin, and mucous membranes of patients can be infected with the Eqira virus, and ......" said this, Sun Qian paused before saying: "And now it has been confirmed that the Eqira virus can also be transmitted through droplets." ”

"......" Ma Lei's face turned completely green.

Droplet transmission? It's not very different from airborne transmission!

During the chat between the three of them, the armored vehicle finally drove into the ordinary area on the periphery of the epidemic area after going through several strict checkpoints.

Just by coming in, you have to accept so many layers of inspection, but you can imagine that if you want to go out, it will really be like Sun Qian said, it is even more difficult than climbing to the sky!

The armored car stopped in the Huaxia area, and representatives of the Huaxia side had already greeted him and Ma Lei.

However, what Hua Bing and Ma Lei didn't expect was that in addition to the people from Huaxia, there were also many people from other countries gathered here.

People from different countries have flags representing their respective countries on the chest of their clothes.

Under the sweep of the Chinese soldiers, the United States, Britain, South Korea, Japan, etc., almost all the countries next to China have people here.

"They're here to greet them, too?" Hua Bing asked strangely.

Who knows, Sun Qian glanced at those people in disgust and said, "How could they come to greet us?" They all came to see the fun. ”

"Watching the excitement?" Ma Lei was confused for a while, and couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

This time, before Sun Qian could answer, people from other countries had already shouted out in Huaxia.

"Look, I heard that it's Chinese medicine in China!"

"Chinese medicine? Chinese medicine is also qualified to come here? Do they prepare their little needles to prick the viruses that are invisible to the naked eye? Haha......"

"I'm curious to know, do they know what a virus is? Haha......"

A group of foreigners burst into laughter and chatted loudly unscrupulously, completely ignoring Hua Bing and Ma Lei.

Until this moment, Hua Bing understood why these people gathered here, and for a long time, they were waiting to mock Huaxia's Chinese medicine practitioners.

Seeing this scene, Hua Bing sighed deeply.

Traditional Chinese medicine is like this for the world, it has never been taken seriously, and even deeply despised.

In the eyes of people in other countries, Chinese medicine is nothing more than the existence of pseudoscience, and there is no difference between yin and yang, five elements acupuncture points, and superstition.

"Damn, how are these guys talking!" Ma Lei was a little annoyed by their ridicule, and he raised his foot and was about to walk over to reason with them.

However, as soon as he took a step, he was pulled back.

Looking back, Hua Bing was looking at him, shaking his head at him constantly.

"Uncle Shi, they're too much!" Ma Lei said angrily.

"I know." Hua Bing nodded, looked at the group of people who were constantly sneering and had begun to communicate in English, and said seriously: "Let them laugh, when we use Chinese medicine to solve the Echra virus, they won't be able to laugh." ”

"That's right." Sun Qian also walked over and said, "The majesty of the tongue is useless, you must prove it to them with your actions!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Lei clenched his fist fiercely.

Ignoring the foreigners, Hua Bing and Ma Lei walked into the temporary house built in Huaxia.

Some of the people inside were eating and resting, some were discussing problems with each other, and some were constantly busy in a meal on the workbench.

"In order to ensure some important information, there is no external communication equipment in the epidemic area, and if you need to contact the outside world for something, you must apply in advance." Sun Qian said.

"Can't talk to the outside world?" Ma Lei asked.

"No, you can't. Telephone, internet, mail or any other means are not allowed. Sun Qian said: "But you can tell me if you need it, and I will help you apply." I'm in charge of everything during your time here. ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Qian took them around to familiarize themselves with the environment here.

In the end, the three of them came to a room that was not very large and had all kinds of daily necessities, and this room was the residence of Hua Bing, Ma Lei and Sun Gan.

After a brief tidying up, Hua Bing took out his small medicine box from his luggage and said, "Dr. Sun, I want to go to the quarantine area to find a patient to see his condition for myself." ”

Ma Lei and Sun Qian were shocked when they heard this!

"Doctor Hua, we have all the information about the virus here, and it is too dangerous in the quarantine area, so I don't recommend you to go." Sun Qian hurriedly said.

"No, it's useless to just have information, I still have to look at it myself to rest assured." Hua Bing said decisively.
