Chapter 1462: Plague
To be honest, he admires these four people, at least in terms of sense of responsibility and courage, the Silver Eagle people are much stronger than the Monya people.
The mouthpiece of the Monya Empire, the media, always attributed the problem to cultural differences when talking about the disparity between the Mongya people and the people of other countries in terms of quality. However, the Silver Eagle Regiment and the Phoenix Empire, as two countries of the same origin and different paths, are the most poignant irony of this answer.
Different cultures produce people with different qualities? It was just an excuse for the nobles to justify themselves.
The fact is that this disparity comes entirely from the needs of the ruler or the interest class, just as some families have gentle-grained dogs, while others have vicious dogs. The words are rough, but the reason is not rough.
"You people...... It's so cute. "It's the first time that Kudelia has praised people, and not to be mean, for example, that they are not self-sufficient, that they are too idealistic.
Tang Lin was a little surprised by her performance.
Tang Fang was also surprised, but he was more concerned about what happened after Roas, Walder and others entered the Monya Empire: "Where did Delmar and Juventus go?" And also...... What is the official announcement of Brady Star saying that you are suspected of killing two patrol officers? ”
"Delmar and Juventus ......," Walder hurriedly said, "We separated after entering the Monya Empire, and Delmar and Juventus went to the capital star system Celtic. And Royas is most concerned about the people's livelihood in economically backward areas, and I think it is not safe for him to come here alone, so I choose to go with him. As for what was said in the official announcement of Bradystar...... Let's talk about Royas. ”
Tang Fang was speechless in his heart, and secretly said that what this guy said above was just to brush up on his presence in front of him...... There isn't much important information, so it's better to tell it directly by Royas.
The person concerned didn't have that much thought, and after saying these words, he looked at his companion on the left hand side with an expectant expression.
Royas coughed lightly, and in a relatively calm tone, he told what happened to them after they arrived on Brady Star.
……
It turned out that not long after the two arrived here, they stopped in Jiangbei District, Bogda City, but they were not Pino? Eibar was kidnapped by the gunmen just now, but Royas was suffering from an occupational disease...... It can also be said to be caused by warm-heartedness.
These civilians in the Jiangbei district of Bogda city are plagued not only by poverty and hunger, but also by disease.
At the end of winter and into spring, plants and trees germinate, everything recovers, and even infectious diseases enter a high incidence period. Especially in an area with backward conditions such as Jiangbei District, the transmission route of the virus cannot be effectively curbed due to the living environment, which leads to the fact that regional infection has formed.
People who contracted the disease thought it was just influenza caused by the turn of the seasons and didn't pay much attention to it until the drugs they were taking in were no longer effective and someone died from the flu.
Of course, death from influenza is not uncommon in Jiangbei District, and some people die every year, but this situation mostly occurs in the elderly who have been sick for a long time, and rarely occurs in young people.
This year is different, as the number of young adults who die of illness increases, it gradually becomes a death vortex, fermenting in Jiangbei District.
Deadly influenza is difficult to cure, but fortunately, the transmission speed is not particularly fast, even if it has been more than a month since the death of the first patient, it has only spread in less than 30% of Jiangbei District, and has not spread to the whole city of Bogda. Therefore, the official medical institutions did not pay much attention to the outbreak of a deadly infectious disease in Jiangbei District, and only sent a few medical workers to help treat it.
As the old saying goes, the heart of the healer's parents ...... However, when social morality is corrupted by money and power, intellectuals become selfish egoists and doctors...... Many times you don't deserve the title of parent's heart, they will only look at how much money you have in your pocket, or whether you have power, whether you are a celebrity or an acquaintance.
The patients in Jiangbei District are ordinary people who even look down on doctors, with no money in their pockets and no power in their hands, and they lack the right to speak in this country, so they cannot bring prestige and reputation to doctors. What's more, the doctors appointed by the government are all unscrupulous quacks who have no real talent and hard work, but just eat and wait for death on the job, and they basically can't find effective countermeasures in the face of the stubborn influenza virus.
The greatest achievement they made after coming to Jiangbei District was to isolate those patients, then take tissue samples from the affected subjects, and send them to the Brady Star Center for Disease Control and Prevention to determine the parameters of the influenza virus and find effective countermeasures.
As for the treatment of patients...... There is no way to cure the disease with the drugs that the people of Jiangbei District can afford, and they cannot even delay it, and only a small number of expensive drugs brought by doctors can achieve the effect of maintaining the condition from deteriorating.
Under such circumstances, will the local government invest a lot of expensive drugs imported by other star systems in Jiangbei District? The answer is obviously no, because until the results of the CDC's research on the virus are not available, the patients in Jiangbei District are like a bottomless pit that will swallow a lot of wealth.
For those aristocratic lords who hold the power of the planet, the government's money is not the people's money, and of course it is impossible to spend a lot on those backward, barbaric, and dirty poor.
The epidemic in Jiangbei District was suppressed in this way, and the above did not send more doctors over, but only invested a batch of cheap drugs to control the spread of the disease and limit it to a certain range.
At the same time, the local government has set up a large number of checkpoints on the roads surrounding Jiangbei District, and police drones patrol the nearby area 24 hours a day...... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not to maintain law and order in Jiangbei District at all, but to be able to quickly lock down the entire area when the epidemic suddenly worsens, so that the tide of death can spread in a sealed can, rather than spreading under the sky like the wind.
Civilians who have no money, no power, no name, no right to speak are dead. It's like casting a dead leaf on the surface of the water, with a ripple or two at most. If it is replaced by a high-end population with status, fame and wealth in the prosperous area of Jiangnan, at least some people in the officialdom of Bogda City will be implicated and pay a heavy price.
After listening to Royas's story, Tang Fang understood why he encountered so many dark sentinels when he came from the north, and the real reason was not what he thought, the traffic policemen were bent on making money, and they actually existed to stabilize the situation.
Like he and Pino just now? Eibar and the others clashed, and the police drone came very quickly, which did not fit the impression of the Monya police in his mind that everything was late. Compared with their origins, I am afraid that there are a large number of police stationed in the north of the Ryder River.
Now the epidemic is controlled in a certain area, and the spread rate is relatively slow, still within the acceptable range, once the virus mutates, the epidemic breaks out, I want to come to Jiangbei District near not only the police stationed, but also a large number of soldiers, the entire area will be completely blocked.
On the way here, when the detector was scanning the inside of the building, he found someone in a nearby container, which he thought was the person living inside...... After all, this is a slum.
Now it seems that things are not as he thinks, those people are quarantined patients, and they are placed in containers to distinguish them from healthy people, and also to block the transmission route of the virus.
Back to the Royas and Walder matter...... The medical personnel sent by the government knew that they could not cure the fatal disease with their own ability, and that at most they could only prolong the survival time of the infected, so they no longer cared about treating the patients, and lived a life of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. After all, it is a disease that even the highest medical institutions in Brady Star cannot overcome, and they are originally a group of people who are waiting to die in certain medical institutions, and whether those patients die or live will not bring any change to their income and position.
It was in this context that Royas and Walder came to Jiangbei District.
You must know that the former is a hero who was awarded the Silver Eagle Medal by the Silver Eagle Regiment, and it can also be seen from the previous conversations between the four of them that they all have a kind, upright and loyal heart, and it is certainly impossible to ignore it in the face of the tragic scene in front of them.
Royas told Pinault? Eibar and others, as doctors themselves, chose to help those patients unconditionally.
He was just a doctor, powerless against a deadly virus that was extremely resistant to drugs. The so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, and the lack of medicines and medical equipment also makes him unable to do it.
Because I can't stand the eyes of those patients who are eager to survive, I can't watch the fresh lives wither and wither. He, Walder, Pinault? Eibar and the others chose to go to the hospital south of the Ryder River for the rich to steal the most effective hormone drugs, at least to keep the patient's life alive.
It was in this process that Wald and Roas, disguised as doctors, were discovered by the patrol police, and when the other party questioned their identities, they were forced to kill the two of them, and then joined Pinault outside? Eibar and the others fled back to Gangbuk District.
The next thing is that the official screen recorded through the hospital's monitoring equipment, compares the physical characteristics of the two, determines the identity information, and issues a wanted warrant around the world.
"Is the Deadly Flu ......" After some digestion, Tang Fang figured out what happened to Walder and Royas when they came to Brady Star, and the five fingers of his right hand gently tapped on the armrest of the sofa, revealing a thoughtful expression.
In fact, he had already contacted Miss Emma to inquire about the sudden illness in Gangbuk District.
It should be that the Bogda city government deliberately concealed the problem of the epidemic in Jiangbei District, and there was no news about the fatal flu on the Brady Star network at all...... No, it should be said that the relevant news was filtered by the Blue Shield system as soon as it appeared, and it was basically impossible to know the disaster here through Internet channels.
"What about the CDC? Has there been any progress in related research? ”
"No...... According to the data intercepted by the official network of the Bogda municipal government, the CDC's research on the influenza virus has not yielded any results. ”
After listening to Emma's words, Tang Fang stood up and walked a few steps to the door, then suddenly turned around and said, "Take me to see those patients infected with the S-R influenza virus." ”
The S-R influenza virus ------ code name given by the Bogda Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention for the fatal influenza outbreak in Jiangbei District.
Royas looked at him with a surprised gaze, but Walder said bluntly: "What? Do you also have research on influenza viruses? ”
At the beginning, Tang Fang won him in front of Ralph in terms of strength, Delmar in wealth, Juventus in command ability, and Roas in morality. Standing here now, looking at the expression on Captain Tang's face, it seems that he has some thoughts about the deadly influenza virus infected by the residents of Jiangbei District, which will inevitably make him feel an indescribable feeling.
Tang Fang didn't speak, Tang Lin said with a smile: "Not to mention the ...... of research"
Royas looked at Tang Lin and moved his gaze to Tang Fang's face: "S-R influenza virus? ”
Tang Fang nodded: "This is the name given to the virus by the Brady Star CDC. ”
Royas was very strange, according to Tang Fang, they had only arrived at Brady Star not long ago, and he didn't know about the epidemic in Jiangbei District before he told about his encounter here, but why did he turn his head and say the word "S-R influenza virus", which was still the name given by the Brady Star CDC.
He didn't ask the doubts in his heart, because the person standing in front of him was the captain Tang who turned the Helenbuir region upside down, he was not qualified to question, and the friendship between the two sides was not deep enough to open their hearts...... Although he would love to have this qualification.
"Follow me......" Royas got up from his seat, moved his slightly numb legs, and led the way out of the living room.
"This damn cushion...... Pino, the guy who didn't know how to move two chairs in the living room, was a complete miser, just as we hadn't seen him entertain us with food and wine for a long time. Walder grumbled as he walked out after Kudelia.
How many people came to the street one after another and found Pinault? Eibar is leading people to clean up the collapsed part of the small building opposite.
Hearing the knock on the door behind him, the black man saw that they had come out of the room, and ordered the people next to him to continue to sort out the construction debris, and he quickly leaned up.
Royas told him about Don's intentions, and the black man glanced at the mysterious young man behind him, and although he didn't hold out hope, he led them towards the dilapidated shipping container behind.
Before I could walk into the nearest container, I smelled the smell of disinfectant water.
To Tang's surprise, the automatic door was not locked, Pino? Eibar politely knocked outside, pressing the open button to open the mottled alloy door.
The interior environment was very dark, and only the pale patients could be seen lying on the dilapidated beds, and it could be seen that they still had enough mobility, and some could even turn over and sit up, looking at Roas behind Pino with longing and gratitude.
However, today's protagonist is not a military doctor, but a young man further back.
Kudelia whispered to Walder in the back, "Aren't you afraid of getting infected with the S-R flu virus just like this?" ”
