As we all know, the tropical region has become a high incidence area of various parasitic infectious diseases in the world because there is no alternation of four seasons, and various tropical diseases are formed by mosquito bites, such as malaria, schistosomiasis, filariasis, dengue fever, yellow fever and .......

Malaria is the most frightening part of the Nanyang Islands, which is hot and humid all year round, and the hotbed of malaria mosquitoes is a breeding ground for Anopheles mosquitoes, which is ubiquitous and unpreventable.

Among the islands of the South Seas, the tropical diseases of New Guinea and Borneo are the most ferocious.

The southeast sea expedition had bad luck since it descended south to Luzon, first being attacked by natives in a bay and ten people were killed; Later, they encountered a huge wave at sea, and seven people were unfortunately swept away by the huge waves, and then on other islands, they also clashed with the local natives from time to time, and more than a dozen people were killed and injured.

Now, the fleet adrift at sea is even more panicked.

Zhang Qin led the fleet to shore at the northeastern corner of Borneo half a month ago, and then left Borneo to turn to the eastward course to explore the southern islands of Luzon.

Unexpectedly, when the fleet sailed to the west coast of Samar Island in the eastern Philippines, eight members of the crew suddenly experienced chills, chills all over the body, goosebumps on the skin, cyanosis of the lips and nails, pale face, muscle and joint pain all over the body, and then trembling all over the body and chattering teeth. It lasts for up to a moment before it stops naturally.

Two or three days later, these people developed fever symptoms again, and the high body temperature was frightening, and they were restless and moaning; Some are delirious, empty, and even convulsive; Some have severe headaches and stubborn vomiting that last for an hour or two. Later, not only did he have a fever, but he was also sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked.

These symptoms are intermittent, and after a certain period of time, the patient can resume their appetite and work normally.

But these strange illnesses frightened the entire crew of the expedition, and the three doctors who accompanied the expedition had never seen or heard of this disease, and could only prescribe some common medicines for fever, cold, deficiency and cold.

After boiling the medicine prescribed by the doctor and drinking the patient, the patient's condition did not improve, but the condition became more and more serious, with coma, convulsions all over the body, accompanied by spleen, hepatomegaly, and anemia.

The number of sick people also increased from eight to twenty-three, forcing Zhang Qin to order the sick to be treated ashore on the unknown island.

As the number of sick people increased, the doctor was helpless, and panic and depression began to appear among the crew, and gossip was rampant.

A group of fire-lit crew members gathered together and whispered.

"I tell you, it's a plague. I used to hear from villagers who had traveled to Nanyang in my hometown that the poisonous insects and ants in this Nanyang area were typical miasma places, and there were many kinds of highly contagious and terrifying epidemics. One person on a ship was infected, and within a few days the whole ship would be infected, and there was no cure for it, and finally he died in extreme pain. ”

"Now that more than 20 people have been infected, won't we die?"

"Not necessarily." Someone objected: "I have heard the old people say that when there is an epidemic, the best way is to drive those infected people into the mountains, away from them, and burn down the clothes and houses where they live, so as to avoid being infected." ”

"Then why don't we just leave them here and burn all the things they have used?"

"You said lightly, to leave these people here, you have to agree with Manager Zhang and Captain Yu. Among the sick people is Captain Yu's brother who was born and died, you said that he was thrown on this wild island, can he agree? ”

A meaty guy threw the dry wood in his hand into the fire and shouted dissatisfiedly, "How can this work? He can't care about his own brothers and ignore the lives of our brothers on the ship, right? We can't sit still here, maybe one day one of us will be infected, and we have to go to Manager Zhang to find out. ”

"Yes, we can't wait here to die, Lao Tzu would rather die in battle than wait here stupidly for the painful death of the epidemic. Look at those who are sick, they are all tossed and unhuman. ”

These people talked louder and louder, and they didn't care about it, and more and more crew members gathered around them. In order to save their lives, everyone was enthusiastic and clamoring to find Zhang Qin for an explanation.

Zhang Mao happened to pass by, stopped and heard what the crew was talking about, his face was shocked, they were going to make trouble with the official, and hurriedly ran to Zhang Qin to report the matter.

The outbreak of the epidemic in the fleet made Zhang Qin at a loss, rubbing his forehead and not knowing what to do. Just now, Dr. Chen came to tell him something even more worrying, Dr. Xiao was sick.

There were only three doctors in the entire fleet, and now one of them is sick. In addition, public opinion among the crew has been surging in recent days, if this spreads, even the doctors who have been medaged for a long time will be infected, and the crew members who are shrouded in panic will not blow up the pot?

Zhang ran in in a hurry, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"Chief, the crew is talking a lot right now, clamoring for you to make a decision now."

"What decision?" Zhang Qin raised his eyebrows, and secretly said that these guys want to make trouble now?

"Huh?" Zhang Mao sighed and said, "When the epidemic breaks out, everyone knows that the best way is to isolate them. But the fleet still has a mission, and it has to return to its homeland, and the epidemic cannot be cured. For the safety of the rest of the fleet, the crew clamored for you to leave these sick people here, and the fleet left immediately. ”

Zhang Qin was a little depressed in his heart, he didn't know all this, but he didn't feel at ease when he left his subordinates who had followed him for more than half a year to fend for themselves on this wild overseas island. Moreover, Yu Hong was extremely opposed to doing this kind of abandonment of his companions, and several of the sick people were old subordinates who followed him on the battlefield.

"Please come out and say something."

"Manager Zhang, a few more people are infected today, even Dr. Xiao has been infected, let's not wait here to die, we have to go home."

"Yes, we're going home, out of this damn place."

Nearly 200 crew members gathered outside Zhang Qin's tent, clamoring for him to come out and make a decision, if one of them was not handled well, maybe these crew members would have to riot.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the process of death!

They saw with their own eyes that the infected person was convulsed and unconscious at the onset of the disease, his skin was hot and red, his headache was splitting and screaming, but his body was emaciated like a ghost for a few days.

Facing the excited crew members gathered outside the tent, Zhang Qin came out and comforted: "Everyone, please listen to me. ”

"Manager Zhang has something to say, everyone be quiet." The prestige team of the crew was shouting loudly, and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, staring at Zhang Qin, and would not give up if they could not give them a satisfactory answer.

Zhang Qin sighed and said: "Everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, the brothers who are living and dying abroad in this overseas life, you asked me to order them to be thrown on this wild island to die, what is this peace in my heart?" When I go back, how can I explain to His Royal Highness King Yan and their family? ”

The guy with a meaty face came out of the crowd and said dissatisfiedly: "What the chief manager said, it is everyone's will to leave the infected people here, and it is not the responsibility of the chief manager alone. What's more, this is for the sake of the fleet, isn't it a person who is greedy for life? His Royal Highness promised to blame, and I will bear it. The families of the brothers who stayed behind, after we returned, were willing to pay a sum of money to compensate. ”

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

"Commander, give orders, we don't want to stay here for a moment."
