After entering the wax moon, the entire northeast seems to have become an ice cave, the Majiahe and Songhua rivers outside Fujiadian have been frozen, and the original planned card inspection has lost its effect, and the patrol team can only be sent to inspect without supervision for 24 hours. There is no pop-up window to update quickly// The good thing about the update is that Si Xing and Zhao Jingxing have sent a lot of people to support, but there is no shortage of manpower. There are only 20,000 or 30,000 people in the entire Fujiadian, but there are as many as 3,000 or 4,000 epidemic prevention personnel stationed here, almost besieging this small city.

As soon as Wang Haiyang fired the first shot, the surrounding patrols heard it, thinking that someone had escaped from the city, and the people who found it fired a warning shot, so they rushed to the location of the incident.

By the time the second shot was fired, many of the patrolmen could already see him riding away, and all kinds of guns rang out like firecrackers. It's a pity that the distance is too far, and the accuracy is not good, so many shots have not even touched a single hair. Even so, it scared Wang Haiyang and the others enough, they desperately waved the horsewhip, and drew blood marks on the horse's body, only hating to ride not the wind-chasing horse that traveled a thousand times a day and eight hundred nights.

Wang Haiyang was annoyed in his heart: With the dense gunfire behind him, no matter whether Ding Dacheng's assassination success or not, his stockade in Eagle's Beak Cliff will definitely not be saved! It seems that after going back, you will have to pack up and find a safe place to hide for a while!

The patrol members ran to the scene of the crime out of breath, only to see an old man and a young man lying on the ground with blood flowing, and hurriedly called the quarantine doctor in the team: "Come and see, are these two people infected and ran out of the city?" Is there any salvation? ”

The doctor brought a mask and rubber gloves and came over to turn over Second Uncle Meng's eyes. Shaking his head: "The pupils are dilated, and it is no longer good." After that, he walked to Wu Keren's side, checked the injury, and put his finger on the major artery in his neck. said: "If the rescue is timely, this guy may be able to get his life back." ”

"Then rescue it!" The volunteers around me were all young people in their twenties, and they felt the same way when they saw the injured being the same age as themselves.

The doctor spread his hands: "If you want to save it, you have to quickly transfuse blood and undergo surgery." Not to mention surgical instruments, there is no blood transfusion here, how to save it? ”

"Isn't it okay to have a hospital in the city?" The volunteers were babbling.

The doctor said, "It's three or four miles from the city, and the delivery is slow. I'm afraid the blood will drain before I get to the hospital! Send fast, bump the road a few times, die faster! ”

Volunteers clamoured: "If you send it to the city, there is still a glimmer of hope; Lie down here. can only wait for death. In contrast, it's natural to give it a try! ”

"Okay, do your best, and be safe. I hope this young man will be blessed with a great life and can survive to the hospital. "The doctor can't resist this group of hot-blooded young people. I had to take out the hemostatic agent from the first aid kit and sprinkle it on the wound, and wrap it with a bandage. Volunteers went around to find branches and sticks, took off their clothes and tied them into a simple stretcher, lifted Wu Keren and sent them to the city. -

Soon. The case appeared on the desk of the Patrol Police Station of the Binjiang Department. Although the party Wu Keren had a hard life, he escaped by luck. But he has been in a coma. Wu Cunde couldn't figure out whether it was a simple homicide or whether it involved the flight of city residents. In line with the principle of "there was a mistake in killing, but I didn't let it go", the case was sent to Sun Yuanqi.

Now, the daily death toll in Fujiadian has climbed to 30, the nursing home is overcrowded, Sun Yuanqi is so busy, how can he bother to care about this kind of thing, he roughly flipped through the case file and handed it back to Wu Cunde: "No matter what the inside situation is, it will be handled as a homicide case, and your patrol police station will be responsible." I am only in charge of epidemic prevention, and these matters are not under my jurisdiction. ”

Such homicides occur several times a year in every part of the Northeast, and for various reasons, most of them end up being unresolved. If it is really to be investigated, it will be very difficult to solve the case, and the patrol police station will definitely have to take off a layer of skin. Wu Cunde saw that Sun Yuanqi didn't ask, and his heart fell to the ground. After returning and instructing the patrol police to strengthen patrols outside the city to prevent bandits from entering the city and disturbing them, the matter basically ended here. Except for the relatives of Second Uncle Meng and Wu Keren, who cares?

As expected when I first arrived in Jilin, the plague is now spreading at an unimaginable speed and scale in the three eastern provinces due to the inadequacy of the quarantine measures in the early stage, with cases reported in almost every prefecture and county. The only thing to be thankful for is that Sun Yuanqi has fortified Shanhaiguan and other places in front of the north, sealing the road to the entry of the plague, so that there are no epidemic reports in other parts of the country.

In the sanatorium, Wu Liande privately dissected several corpses, and after careful observation during this time, he finally came to the conclusion that this is a new type of plague, which is mainly transmitted by droplets, has a short incubation period, and the infected person has critical symptoms of systemic poisoning and symptoms specific to respiratory tract infection. If there is no timely and effective treatment after infection, patients usually die within 2 or 3 days. Marmots are the source of the virus, and the first to get the disease were the Kannai immigrants who caught marmots in Russia.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a process was invented whereby marmot fur was comparable in color to mink, provided that the fur was properly processed. For a time, marmot skin became the new favorite of the world leather market, and the price rose year after year. In 1910, the price of each marmot skin soared more than six times compared to 1907. The huge profits attracted a large number of Chinese and Russian businessmen. They recruited Chinese laborers to hunt and kill marmots. In 1910, the number of marmot skins exported from Manchuria alone increased from 700,000 in 1907 to 2.5 million.

Marmots, also known as marmots, are abundantly distributed in the vast northeast and Siberia. No one thought that this cute and valuable little creature would be the root of the plague virus. Marmots become blind, lose their voice, become sluggish, and are driven out of their nests by their healthy counterparts. Experienced hunters can tell at a glance whether it is an infected marmot or not, and they will never hunt a diseased marmot.

Due to the disasters in Shandong and Zhili provinces year after year, a large number of laborers went north to Kanto. Many unexperienced Kannai laborers join the otter hunting team, but they do not have such experience, and often hunt large numbers of infected marmots because they are easy to catch. In the primeval forests of the Northeast Ice, hunters drink a sip of snow water when they are thirsty, and when they are hungry, they feed on marmot meat. In this way, the plague virus was transmitted from infected marmots to trappers.

After collecting a dozen otter skins, the hunters lodged at the inn. These inns are extremely simple, often with dozens of people crammed into a large kang. In winter, in order to keep warm, the doors and windows are closed. Once someone is infected with the plague, almost no one in the inn is immune, and many people inadvertently become victims. These people will become a new source of infection as they travel south along the railway. Infect more people. In this way, the epidemic spread from north to south and soon spread throughout the Northeast Plain.

After getting Wu Liande's research report, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly sent someone to invite Kitasato Shibazaburo and Hafken to inform them of the latest findings: "Mr. Kitasato, Dr. Hafken, according to the observations of our researchers in the nursing home, this is indeed plague, but the clinical manifestations are different from the past. It should be possible to identify a new type of plague that can be traced back to infected marmots. This is also the reason why Mr. Kitasato did not find the plague bacillus in rats. The most important thing is that this plague can be transmitted by droplets, and it must be isolated and protected during the epidemic prevention process. Among them, masks are even more indispensable—"

Huffken laughed: "Dr. Johnson, I know that you are the patent owner of the new mask, and it is your wife's factory that makes the mask, but you can sell the mask among your citizens." As for us. You know, we have a plague vaccine, we don't need any masks. I would suggest that you do your research on the customer's condition before your next pitch. ”

Sun Yuanqi was stunned: Could it be that Lilith is also involved in the production of masks? Immediately Zhengse said: "The problem of mask manufacturers. It has little to do with the condition we are going to talk about now. Once again, I tell you solemnly, this new type of plague can be transmitted by droplets! ”

Haffken's face was full of disdain: "I and my uncle have participated in the prevention and control of plague in India, Hong Kong and other places many times. He has a lot of experience in epidemic prevention, that is, the plague is transmitted by rats. Rodent control is the key to control. Quarantine, masks and the like are simply not necessary. Do you know why when you first arrived in Fujiadian, only a dozen people died a day, but now it has risen to more than 30 people a day? The reason is simple, your method is wrong! You should not be quarantined, but you should go to exterminate rats. Understand, Doctor? ”

For the indescribable and hopeless Hafken, Sun Yuanqi no longer intended to convince him, but asked Kitasato Shibazaburo instead: "Mr. Kitasato, do you think we should abandon the old prevention and control methods and pay attention to isolation and protection?" ”

Kitasato Shibazaburo replied vaguely: "Ah, since Dr. Sun has researched such results, it is also necessary to strengthen isolation and protection to a certain extent, at least wearing a mask will not increase the infection rate of plague." Of course, if hygiene can be maintained and rats can be eradicated, it should be possible to ensure that the epidemic does not spread in residential areas to the greatest extent. In short, the study of plague needs to be further deepened, especially by scientific means. ”

Sun Yuanqi heard it, and it seems that Kitasato Shibazaburo also has great doubts about his research results.

Since they do not cooperate with their own epidemic prevention measures, it seems that they can only continue to work alone. It is said that it is done alone, but in fact, in addition to disinfection and isolation, there is no better way, and getting sick is basically waiting for death. Zhao Jinghui and others even tried to use the newly developed penicillin, but the effect was not obvious. Just when Sun Yuanqi was at a loss, a bad news came: Hafken, who was still fighting with him a few days ago, was infected with the plague and died in the Russian railway hospital.

It turned out that Dr. Haffken did not listen to Sun Yuanqi's advice at all, and after returning to the hospital, he continued to do his own thing, wearing white clothes, white hats and rubber gloves to examine the plague patients. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? This good fortune finally ran out, and the plague bacillus took root and blossomed in his body, and no amount of plague vaccine was ineffective. He developed a headache and fever, then a rapid pulse, a cough, and finally a purple body, and died on the third day of the plague.

An expert in the prevention and control of the plague died of the plague!

The entire Northeast was suddenly in a panic, and even when the old fritter Kitasato Chai Saburo came to see Sun Yuanqi, he also brought a mask in a proper manner. Isolation, disinfection, and masks have been widely promoted in residential areas in Japan and Russia. At this time, it had been a month since Sun Yuanqi arrived in Fujiadian.

In the past month, the epidemic has not shown the slightest sign of improvement, but has intensified, and Sun Yuanqi's mood has become increasingly heavy. At this time, Sun Yuanqi received a report from volunteers again, it was still the same family, there were still patients, and he still refused to enter the quarantine. Sun Yuanqi had long been buried in his heart with a fire of ignorance, but he didn't find the opportunity to go crazy. Now that he heard the news, he was immediately angry, and he went straight to the past with Cheng Ziyin and others.

Standing outside the wall, you can hear the coughing of the patients in the room. This time, everyone didn't even bother to knock on the door, and everyone slammed the door directly.

When I entered the house, I saw Ding Dacheng lying on the bed, his face burning red, and he kept coughing. The doctor went to check without Sun Yuanqi's instructions, but the results of the examination were shocking: it was just a cold and fever, not the plague.

Since he had a common cold and fever, it was a bit too much for his group to break in. Sun Yuan was about to say a few words before he got up, when Ding Dacheng took it out of the quilt and pulled the trigger on his chest. To be continued.
