St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

A special patient is being rushed in by ambulance at a state hospital.

"Let go, let go!"

The nurse pushes the patient all the way to the emergency room.

Doctors who had been prepared for a long time were already waiting. 、

The patient was a middle-aged black woman, who seemed to be asthmatic and suffocated at the moment, and her expression was extremely painful.

The doctor took out medical scissors and cut the middle-aged patient's shirt open, revealing a reddened chest.

Reach out and touch it, even a little hot.

"Immediately cool the patient physically! Inject analgesic drugs, prepare for endoscopy to examine the respiratory tract... ”

The attending doctor gave orders to the assistant one by one, and at the same time, he kept busy with his own hands, helping to connect the sensing equipment to all parts of the patient's body.

After more than an hour of busy work, the patient's condition was temporarily controlled by physical cooling and respirators.

Dr. Evan came out of the emergency room with a tired face.

At this time, the people from the CDC were already waiting for him outside, a person related to the medical field and two people who were like bodyguards.

"Hello Dr. Aven, we are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and here are my credentials. ”

The woman at the head showed her ID.

Evan looked at it and read silently in his mind: 'Josephine, virology expert. ’

"Let's talk about something as we go. ”

For their arrival, Evan seemed uninterested, and walked in the direction of the bathroom without stopping.

"Doctor, for the case just now, how many did you take over?"

That's what Evan was worried about.

"It's twenty-three, and I still can't find a reason. ”

As if thinking of something, he turned to the brown-haired woman.

"However, the patient is not contagious and is not caused by the virus. ”

The bathroom had arrived, and Evan walked to the sink, turned on the faucet to wash his face, and used cold water to refresh himself.

"Can you tell me what you found?"

The woman showed the courtesy of a seeker of knowledge, without the arrogance of a government worker.

"The first case was about three weeks ago, when I thought it was an inhalation of hot gases that burned my airways and lungs. ”

Evan reminisced.

"Although it may seem serious, it is not unthinkable. ”

"However, we did not expect the patient to be found dead three days later!"

"Then the second case, two days after the death of the first patient, three more a week later, seven more identical cases two weeks later, and then almost every day there were similar patients who were sent to the hospital, and just now that was the third today. ”

The woman's expression was solemn.

"According to your report, the second patient hasn't died since then, hasn't it?"

Evan nodded.

"Let's go, let's go see him. ”

。。。

In the ward, a white man with a sallow yellow face was struggling to breathe with the help of a respirator.

When I saw Evan come in, I could only greet him by looking at him.

"Ben, you look so much better!"

Evan smiled and said a word to the patient, and then his eyes motioned to the three people behind him who were already wearing masks to pay attention to their words.

Josephine watched the patient closely.

He was lying on a bed that was one size larger than the usual hospital bed, and in addition to the respirator, there was also a ring of ice packs on his chest, and judging from a small freezer on the side, he should be changing the ice packs regularly and uninterruptedly.

Evan noticed that they were looking at the freezer and motioned for the three of them to come out of the room.

It wasn't until he got outside and closed the door that Evan began to explain.

"Physical cooling is the most effective control method and is essential, if the lungs and respiratory tract are not cooled, the patient's chest and lung temperature can reach nearly 45 degrees Celsius within three days, and there are signs of continuous increase, it is believed that the first patient died in the middle of the night. ”

"And what about after the physical cooling?"

Evan smiled reluctantly.

"I'm a competent doctor, and with the guarantee of physical cooling, the pain of the patient can be relieved by medication, and the signs of respiratory and lung burns also tend to heal on their own. ”

"But there is another problem, that is, even if the self-healing reaches a certain level, without physical cooling, the patient's chest and lung temperature will still rise, and the patient will always show listlessness and physical exhaustion. ”

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Evan deliberately explained.

"It's not a decline in physical fitness caused by illness, I mean physical exhaustion that is out of the normal range, and chest and lung injuries that make it difficult to lift your hands. ”

Josephine and her companion looked at each other, frowning, looking through the window and door at the "second patient" in the ward.

"Thank you for your cooperation with Dr. Aven, I think from tomorrow onwards, there may not be any such patients sent to this hospital. ”

Evan looked at her.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is going to take over, but this disease is not contagious, so why are you giving up the medical resources of normal hospitals?"

Josephine smiled, and she looked at Aven.

"We're not giving up on the medical resources of normal hospitals, like you, Dr. Aven, we need your help. ”

。。。

At this time, the 19th Organization Department of the National Department of Special Security was not aware of the special illness in St. Louis, or it had not yet attracted attention.

In addition to the discoveries they made in front of them, they paid close attention to the situation at home, and they also paid close attention to the movements of the French.

It turned out that the baguettes were really rice buckets, and according to the information sent back by Balu and the spy officers, the group of guys didn't get any valuable information at all.

On the contrary, Baloo discovered a mutation that happened in France, and notified the French authorities by covert means to prevent France from suffering certain losses, and at the same time sent back the information on the handling of this mutation by the French.

Worryingly, the mutation was not one of the "regular" mutations previously found around the world, but an unexplained new mutation that the French authorities called "death obstacle".

Half of the village was in a state of insanity and began to be addicted to suicide, several of which occurred in a short period of time.

The French authorities also dealt with it simply, forcibly removing all the people in the village and sealing off the village.

The people who were left were relieved by medication, and after 48 hours, they all returned to normal, and they all told the authorities that they had nightmares for several days, some said that there were monsters in the village, and some thought they had been poisoned.

Since it seems that the scope has not been expanded and there has been no overreaction, the French authorities have decided to "isolate the study".

That's what Norton was thinking about, this kind of example that isn't easy to access.

'What if this happens in the United States, like the French?'

"Jingle Bell Bell ~~ Jingle Bell Bell ~~"

The phone on the desk rang at exactly this time.

Norton was now half-lying on the table, propping up the table with his feet, so he picked it with his foot, and the phone landed precisely on his outstretched left hand.

"Hey sir, the new type of lung fever found in a downtown area of St. Louis may be a bit problematic!"

What is a new type of pulmonary fever?

"To be clear, is it uncontrollable or is it contagious?"

Basically, for a new disease, these are the only two questions that Norton can think of.

"No, the disease can be controlled, effective methods have been found, and the disease is not contagious... ”

FUCK!Are you playing with me?

However, the subordinates immediately added to it.

"But there is no cause of this disease, and it only occurs in the Bevo district, and the number is on the rise, and the condition of the patient, I have sent you the information to send you the information. ”

PS: Chapter 3/3.
