Chapter 121: Wild Fruit Suspected of Being the Source of Infection
"What? You want to enter the village? Zhao Xi looked at Yan Murong with surprise on his face, and shook his head again and again. No, absolutely not, you're a doctor, and you know what the situation is now - even those villagers we distribute food and water to prevent them from entering the mountains again, the virus spreads too fast, and as long as you are infected, it is equal to a 100% mortality rate before the antivenom is developed - aren't you looking for death when you go in? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your dad? ”
"So what do you say?" Yan Murong said helplessly. "Just the patient's blood study? What's the use of that, treating the symptoms but not the root cause - if you can't find the source of infection, it's useless at all. ”
Yan Murong's proposal was so shocking that this guy actually wanted to go into the mountains to find the source of infection.
This group of doctors had no one else agreeing except himself, and even Chen Hanqing shook his head.
"It's too dangerous." Chen Hanqing thought for a moment and proposed. "It's better to wait, let's see if we can treat these patients with traditional Chinese medicine first, and then it's not too late to send people into the mountains when the antivenom is developed."
"When the time comes, everyone will die, why is it not too late?" Yan Murong said with a wry smile.
"That's right." Chen Hanqing looked at Yan Murong and said. "Can you use acupuncture to delay the onset of the virus?"
"How can it be delayed?" Yan Murong said helplessly. "If it's a simple internal organ lesion, maybe I still have a way - blood, do I have to bleed them all one by one? Even if it could be bled out, no one could guarantee that the newly created blood would have the virus. ”
"That won't let you go into the mountains either." Zhao Xi said stubbornly.
"Isn't there a hazmat suit?" Yan Murong pointed to a protective suit and gas mask on the table next to him and said.
Liang Shaokun sat on the side, looking at Yan Murong with an idiotic expression, thinking, this kid really thinks he is an immortal? Go, go, it's better to go and don't come back, it's better to die in the mountains.
Yan Murong didn't know Liang Shaokun's vicious thoughts, and said with a smile. "That's it, I'll go into the mountains later, and the sooner I find the source of infection, the sooner I'll be back."
"Are you really sure you're going?" Zhao Xi was silent for a while, looked at Yan Murong and asked solemnly.
"What's certain about this." Yan Murong said with a smile. "Depending on the situation, the virus is transmitted from blood to food or wounds -- yes, food and wounds."
After speaking, Yan Murong didn't wait for the others to speak, turned around and ran out, and directly got into the isolation tent that was set up separately on the side.
"Hey, who are you? Get out, get out. A researcher in the tent saw someone suddenly breaking in, and hurriedly put down the notebook in his hand and urged Yan Murong to say.
"I'm a doctor, it's fine." Yan Murong explained. "There's something I want to know."
"You're a doctor?" The researcher was stunned for a moment, but said in a resolute tone. "It's not okay if you're a doctor, we're also doctors, even if you're a doctor, you have to wear protective clothing before coming in, right?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Yan Murong smiled, and regardless of his repeated words, he walked to the side of a man who was isolated by the isolation cover.
The man was about 30 years old and had a strong body, but there were already a lot of blood spots on the surface of the skin on his body, and he also looked muddy.
"Big brother, can you hear me?" Yan Murong knocked on the isolation cover and shouted at the man with his eyes closed and didn't know whether he was sleeping or resting.
The man opened his eyes, glanced at Yan Murong with despair in his eyes, and nodded.
"Okay, now that you can hear me, I have a few questions for you." Yan Murong said. "Big brother, when did you start showing symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting?"
"Two days ago." The man said weakly.
"Then when did that Wang Laixi have this symptom?"
"I think it was a week ago." The man thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm." Yan Murong nodded, and then asked. "So where did he go before? Did you come back with any wounds or anything you ate? ”
"I don't know." The man shook his head and said. "We have to go to the mountains every day to hunt some prey and come back, I don't know what he ate and whether he was injured or not."
"Big brother, you can get out quickly." The man persuaded. "This disease is terrible, you go out quickly, beware of infecting you."
"It's fine." Yan Murong said comfortingly. "I'll ask you a few more questions and get out."
"Just ask." The man nodded.
"Did you have any injuries before you had this symptom? Or what have you eaten? ”
"Nope." The man shook his head and said. "I didn't have any injuries on my body - I ate, I ate at night after I came home from hunting, and I became ill shortly after eating."
There are no injuries on the body, and I haven't eaten anything, how can it be infected? Yan Murong thought suspiciously, it seems that it shouldn't be transmitted through food-if it is transmitted through food, then he eats the same as his family, why is there something wrong with him?
After thinking about it, Yan Murong asked again. "What do you eat when you go up to the mountains to hunt?"
"Didn't eat anything." The man said. "Usually when we go up to the mountains to hunt, we bring some dry food and water -- we can't finish it, so we go at noon and go home in the evening to eat."
"That's right." The man suddenly thought of something, looked at Yan Murong and said. "When I was about to go down the mountain, I ran out of water, and I was a little thirsty, so I picked some wild fruits in the woods on the mountain and ate them."
"Wild fruit?" Yan Murong's eyes lit up and asked. "Did anyone else eat it?"
"Some ate it, some didn't." The man said.
"How many of the people who are infected now have eaten wild fruits?" Yan Murong asked anxiously. If it's because of the virus that the wild fruit is infected, it's much easier. At least the source of the infection has been found.
"Eat them all." The man said. "But, there are people who are fine."
"Is anyone okay?" Yan Murong was stunned. Did you guess wrong?
"That's okay, big brother, you can rest first." Yan Murong looked at the man and said. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to save you."
"Hey, I can't save it." The man sighed and said in despair. "Big brother, if you can, let's find out the reason quickly, it doesn't matter if I'm dead, I still have two dolls at home, but don't let them get sick too."
"Don't worry." Yan Murong said with a resolute face. "Give me three days, three days, and I will definitely find a way to find out the reason to save you."
