Ten minutes later, Gu Jiashu called.

"Little sister, just now the results of the hospital laboratory department came out, and Bacillus anthracis was detected in Wang Likun's blood, and this Wang Likun was a septicaemic anthrax secondary to pulmonary anthrax.

Unexpectedly, several clinical symptoms of anthrax in this anthrax epidemic were all manifested, such as cutaneous anthrax, pulmonary anthrax, intestinal anthrax, and secondary septicamic anthrax. ”

The rancher of Yuntai Ranch was also infected with anthrax, and the mutton with Bacillus anthracis also came from Yuntai Farm, which was the target of the next investigation.

——

Yuntai Ranch.

Located at the southern end of the Yuntai Mountains, Yuntai Ranch is a very fertile hillside pasture with gentle slopes and green grass cover.

At the foot of the mountain is Wangjia Village, there are dozens of families in the village, the rancher Wang Likun is from Wangjia Village, and the workers of the ranch are all from Wangjia Village.

There is a road in front of the village, which connects Yuntai Ranch and Wangjia Village with the outside world.

In front of Yuntai Ranch and Wangjia Village, which are usually sparsely populated, a large number of people have now gathered.

Lianhai City activated the emergency response plan, and various departments formed an epidemic handling team, including the CDC, the hospital system, the industrial and commercial market department, the animal husbandry department and the police, and took joint action.

Yuntai Ranch and Wangjia Village were classified as epidemic areas, and the road in front of the village was cordoned off, guarded by the police, and non-relevant personnel were prohibited from entering and leaving.

The CDC's on-site shunting car was parked outside the cordon, and Gu Yanan, Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao were sitting in the car.

After Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao finished collecting samples in the food street next to the university town in the eastern district, they sent the samples back to the disease control laboratory, and carried out on-site flow shunting and took Gu Yanan to Yuntai Ranch.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Nan Hanfei standing in the middle of a group of policemen.

When Nan Hanfei saw the people from disease control, he took the initiative to come over and want to say hello to Gu Yanan.

Glancing at Gu Yanan, only Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao followed, Nan Hanfei asked with a smile, "Why didn't your follower come today?" ”

"Follower? Who? ”

"It's for the one you came back from abroad."

Gu Yanan reacted, it turned out that Nan Hanfei was referring to Gu Qingcen.

"Brother Qingcen went back to the CDC to send samples."

Gu Yanan has been busy dealing with the epidemic, and he actually forgot about Gu Qingcen, he asked Gu Qingcen to send samples back from the People's Hospital before, it stands to reason that he should have appeared when he should have been investigating in the university town in the Eastern District, but now that such a long time has passed, could it be that something happened in the process of sending samples?

Wang Xiaoxiao had been following behind Gu Yanan, and when she heard Nan Hanfei's question, she hurriedly replied, "Captain Nan, our Gu Dashen was originally going to come together, but there was something wrong with the laboratory, and he was helping to solve it, so he would come over later." ”

Nan Hanfei didn't care about Wang Xiaoxiao's explanation, but he was very concerned about Gu Yanan's sentence "Brother Qingcen" just now.

"Isn't it a bad idea to call working hours?"

"What are you called?"

"You never called me 'Brother Han Fei' when you worked with me, or you will call me 'Brother Han Fei' in the future, and you can call me 'Brother Fei Fei' if you want."

Gu Yanan was aroused by this title, and glanced at Nan Hanfei, "Captain Nan, just now the two of us had a private conversation, so it is not considered working time, but I have been calling Teacher Gu or calling my name directly during working hours." ”

"That's good, but I don't mind you calling me another name during working hours."

Nan Hanfei wanted to talk to Gu Yanan more, but found that a doctor wearing a protective suit hurriedly ran over and reported to Gu Yanan.

"Director Gu, I have checked the villagers of Wangjia Village just now, and no suspected cases of anthrax have been found, but many of the ranch workers have symptoms of cutaneous anthrax."

"Okay, send the symptomatic ranch workers to the hospital for isolation and treatment, and we'll go to the ranch now."

Dealing with the right thing is important, Nan Hanfei picked up the warning tape, let the staff of the CDC go, and whispered to Gu Yanan on the side, "Be careful." ”

Follow the road to the foot of Yuntai Ranch Mountain, and then follow the mountain road into the slope of the ranch.

The sheep in the pasture are concentrated in several large sheepfolds, and there are a few leisurely lambs grazing on the slopes.

"Where is the dormitory for the ranch workers?"

The doctor from before pointed the way, "Over there, not far from the slaughterhouse." ”

Ranch worker dormitory area.

Several sick workers were carried out of the dormitory on stretchers by doctors, and Gu Yanan looked at the symptoms of several people.

Some have sores on the face and neck, and most of them are swollen arms and broken scabs, which are typical symptoms of cutaneous anthrax.

There are also a few people with milder symptoms who follow themselves on stretchers.

The rancher and most of the ranch workers fell ill, and the ranch operation was paralyzed.

Gu Yanan found a ranch worker who had no symptoms and asked about the situation.

The worker took the initiative to explain, "Our boss brought in a batch of sheep from the northwest half a month ago, and there were dozens of them, and the sheep began to get sick not long after they were introduced.

The boss told us to kill the sheep, the meat was frozen in the cold storage of the pasture, and the wool was buried in the ravine under the pasture.

Later, all the sheep that were brought in died, and the original sheep in the pasture began to get sick one after another.

The boss was also sick and hospitalized, and the proprietress gave an order for us to separate the sick sheep from the non-sick sheep, and the sick sheep continued to be slaughtered, and the meat was put into cold storage, and the fur was buried in the ditch.

Since then, the workers on our ranch have also started to get sick.

Doctor, do you think I'm sick too, I want to go to the hospital for a closer examination. ”

"Rest assured, we will arrange for all farm workers to be inspected, and you now tell me the exact location of the cold storage and slaughter area of the ranch."

Yuntai Ranch, slaughtering area.

Dozens of sheep in poor condition were enclosed in the slaughterhouse.

On the side of the slaughterhouse, the bloody scene.

A sick and dead sheep lies on the board of the slaughterhouse.

The sheep's eyes, mouth, and anus have a soy sauce-colored bloody fluid flowing out, and the tongue is half-extended, and the tongue coating is blue-purple.

Gu Yanan asked the worker who gave directions, "Are you going to slaughter the sick sheep?" ”

"We also know that the sick and dead sheep are not clean, but this is the order of the boss and the proprietress of the boss, and we cannot disobey their orders and bury the sheep without permission." The workers were very aggrieved.

Lu Li, who was standing on the side, said, "The money is earned by the boss, and the life is given by you, and the next time you encounter this situation, you will have to distinguish the weight." ”

Before the words fell, there was a sudden "plop" sound from the sheepfold next to him.

A lamb that was still alive just a moment ago suddenly fell to the ground, bleeding from its mouth and nose, and after a few convulsions, it lost its breath.

Everyone present was taken aback by the speed of the lamb's onset.

The workers were even more frightened, and they couldn't care about the questions of the disease control personnel, and said anxiously, "I told you everything I know, the cold storage is next to the dormitory area, you can see for yourself, and the mutton that died of illness is inside."

I'm going to follow the doctor to the hospital, and I don't want to die here like these sheep. ”

The workers ran away and followed the medical team to the hospital.

Gu Yanan instructed Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao, who were following alongside, "Sample the sheep that died of illness just now, as well as the land and surrounding environment here." ”

Lu Li: "What about the other sheep?" I don't think these sheep are in a good state of mind. ”
