Chapter 681. After-effects of the plague
Kant shook his head at the end, lifted the curtain and walked out.
And he walked out of the tent.
Kant took off his overalls and asked the leader of the medical team, "Is it now certain that this soldier is infected with the plague?" ”
"Yes. Basically, it can be confirmed. The leader of the medical team replied heavily.
"So, did anyone among the medics who took care of this soldier last night also contracted this disease?" Kant pondered again and again and hesitated.
The medical captain took a deep breath and replied, "Although there is no initial manifestation of this disease in vitro, in order to ensure that the virus is not leaked, the three soldiers who cared for this soldier last night have been taken to other tents and quarantined. We will check their physical condition at any time. ”
Such an incident on the way back was also a heavy blow to the head of the medical corps.
Now we can only pray that this situation is still under control.
Kant nodded, and asked worriedly, "In the current situation: the soldier in the battalion, will the illness threaten his life?" ”
"The patient's body temperature is already much higher than the standard of a normal person. Now the functions of various systems in the body are gradually weakening. It probably won't last more than two days. The medic captain replied.
Kant frowned tightly, the severity of this plague was far beyond his expectations.
"Now the plague is still within the range of a few people, and it must not be allowed to continue to spread." Kant warned sharply.
"Command." The medical captain replied.
Back in his tent, Kant immediately sent a message to the captain of the guard, asking him to come and see him immediately.
Kant sat at the desk with his hand on his forehead, immersed in his worries.
"Lord." After a while, the captain of the guard arrived in front of the tent.
"Come in." Kant said.
The captain of the guard walked over to Kant's table and crouched down to salute.
"You know what's going on in the army." Kant motioned for him to stand and spoke.
"Yes, I heard from the soldiers of the Medic." There was also a bit of heaviness in the captain's tone.
"Your soldiers know about it, too?" Kant asked, looking up.
"No, just in case it causes panic. The news didn't spread again," replied the captain of the guard.
"Hmm." Kant nodded and said, "I came to you this time to ask you to help search for information that soldiers are infected with the plague. It is up to you to go to the infected soldier's companion and ask him if he had been feeling sick a few days earlier, and where his main place of activity had been during the last few days. ”
"Roger, do you have any other arrangements, may I ask the lord?" The captain of the guard asked.
"Well, give an order to all the soldiers, not to go near the tent where the soldiers infected with the plague are. Those who violate the law will be dealt with by military law. Kant commanded.
"Command."
After receiving the task, the captain of the guard immediately said goodbye and left the camp.
In Kant's mind: he knew how badly the plague could spread. Even the glorious cities of ancient civilizations were once destroyed by an outbreak of a plague.
Today, the group is still trekking in the desert, and the medical equipment they carry with them is relatively simple. It is of little use in the face of such an infectious disease.
The lives of the plague-stricken soldiers could no longer be saved, and they could only hope that they would not mistakenly bring the people carrying the virus into the main city.
In the afternoon, the captain of the guard returned to Kant's camp with the information he had gathered.
"How?" Kant asked.
"Two soldiers who were close to the infected soldier said that about three days ago, the soldier seemed to be weaker, coughed a lot, and told others that his chest hurt. However, they thought it was a regular illness caused by the temperature difference in the desert, so they just advised the soldier to go to the medical team to get a cough medicine. I didn't care much about it. It wasn't until the later period that the soldier didn't eat or drink for a whole day, and the soldier who was traveling with him noticed the abnormality and took him back to the camp to rest, the soldier fainted from heat stroke. ”
"Well, so did the soldiers drink the cough medicine that the medical team gave to the soldiers?" Kant thought for a moment and asked.
"Didn't drink. We found the original vial in the soldier's locker, and the medicine inside had not been tampered with. The captain of the guard replied, "I heard from others: it seems that this soldier has not always been very fond of medicine. ”
"Okay, you go on." Kant replied.
Then I asked them about the soldier's range of activities in the previous days, and they said they didn't know much about it. Because the soldier usually walked around the barracks after lunch and dinner, and they didn't follow him to see where he went. The captain of the guard continued.
"Then the cause of this plague infection must be a mystery." Kant said silently.
"The soldiers who were traveling with me didn't seem to know that anyone in the army was infected with the plague, and when I told them not to approach the tents where the medics were stationed, they asked me how the soldier was doing." The captain of the guard continued.
"Alright, you can tell the medical team leader what you know. This is relatively important information for him. Kant confessed.
"Command." The captain of the guard responded.
Kant followed the captain of the guard out of the tent and watched him leave.
Looking at the sky outside, it was already almost dusk.
Because of the sudden occurrence of such a thing, the process of today's day has also been delayed.
I don't know what the situation is dealing with on the medics' side.
Kant was strolling around the barracks, and he happened to see the soldiers of the medical corps, dressed in protective suits, walking out of a tent with a pile of soldiers' clothes, utensils, etc., and walking outside the barracks, throwing everything into the fire that had been lit earlier.
Kant took a few steps in that direction when he heard one of the guards followed by a leading medic shouting and asking, "Why do you want to burn all these things?!" ”
The medic didn't say a word, but continued to throw his things into the flames in silence.
Smoke rose above the flames, and the medical soldiers near the fire hurriedly took two steps back, and the guard, who was constantly questioning loudly, was dragged away from the scene by several medical soldiers.
Kant witnessed the whole process and sighed in his heart.
After all, in the end, even the body of the infected soldier will be buried in a fire in this wilderness.
