Chapter 133: Flying to West Africa

Zuo Li used the hands-free, and Chen Tianming next to him heard it and looked at him with a smile.

Zuo Tian found that her smile was a little nervous, she seemed to be looking forward to Zuo Li's answer, but she was afraid that the answer would be different from what she had in mind. After all, as soon as this sentence came out, it was a certainty, and it was completely different from what I said before.

Zuo Li stretched out his hand and took Chen Tianming into his arms, looked at her eyes, and said word by word: "Dean Gu, I volunteer to apply to join the medical team and go to West Africa to participate in international rescue and medical missions, fight Ebola, and promise to resolutely complete the task." ”

After hearing this, Chen Tianming smiled, and his smile was very bright. Snuggled into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Gu Zhijie's voice came from Zuo Li's phone, excited and low: "Very good, but I want to remind you that this outbreak of Ebola virus is the one with the highest fatality rate among all Ebola viruses, Zaire Ebola, according to statistics, the mortality rate is as high as 90%. That is to say, once you are infected with nine deaths and one life, you are not in a hurry, you can think about it again tonight, it doesn't matter if you don't go, it is completely understandable in the hospital. ”

Of course, Zuo Li knew about the Ebola virus, and he had read a lot of information about the virus.

It is the deadliest virus known to exist in its natural state in the world. And there are several kinds of this virus, the most powerful of which is the Zaire Ebola virus mentioned by Dean Gu Zhijie just now, once it is confirmed that he is infected with this virus, he basically gives up treatment, but only blocks his isolation from the outside world.

Because there is no specific drug for Zaire Ebola virus at present, it can only be treated symptomatically, alleviate the symptoms, and then give the last hope of life to the patient's own immune system, that is, it depends on the patient's own creation.

The patients who die of this disease die in a tragic state. Because this disease is called Ebola hemorrhagic fever, its main symptom is unstoppable bleeding, and even if the needle is inserted, blood gushes out of the needle hole. It is not an exaggeration to bleed from the seven orifices, and the eyes will be as red as rabbits, because the eyes are bleeding.

In front of his eyes, he saw footage of the tragic death of an Ebola patient.

He took a deep breath, held his phone, and turned his head to look at Chen Tianming, who was lying in his arms, snuggling up to him.

Chen Tianming looked up at him, shook his head slightly, and signaled not to agree.

Zuo Li also shook his head slightly, but said that he did not agree with Chen Tianming's hints. He said calmly to Gu Zhijie: "Dean Gu, I understand that it is the deadliest virus in the world, with a fatality rate of up to ninety percent, and I understand its danger. But I still volunteered to join the medical team and resolutely fulfilled this glorious and sacred mission. ”

Gu Zhijie's appreciative voice came from the other side of the phone: "I didn't see the wrong person, it's good!" Since you voluntarily applied to go, I can tell you that Chen Tianming also took the initiative to apply to participate. We look forward to your integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to create new miracles in West Africa! ”

………………

Searchlight Meng Xin and Fat Tiger Yao obviously took the initiative to apply for registration, and they were both approved.

Zuo Li didn't expect that the applications of Fat Tiger and Searchlight were also approved, and he was very excited that the three dead friends could break into West Africa together.

The medical team formed this time was divided into several groups, and the four of them were in a group with Zuo Li and the other two doctors from the Second Hospital, who were the attending doctors of the infectious disease department, surnamed Xiao. The attending physician of the pediatric department, surnamed Tong, is a young mother whose son has just been weaned.

There were only two days to prepare. On the third day, the Chinese medical team departed for West Africa. The hospitals that sent doctors donated a large number of medical supplies and medical supplies, and they flew there at random.

In addition to the dossier protective equipment and medical supplies, the three hospitals also specially asked Zuo Li to pick up the commonly used Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces and pack them randomly to take away.

Zuo Li called his parents to talk about it before leaving, and his parents complained about why he didn't say it in advance? However, he was very open-minded and agreed with his decision. After all, their son is an adult, and they are very relieved to be able to make such a brave decision.

International airport terminal lobby.

Zuo Li and the others were sitting on a bench waiting to board the plane, when they suddenly heard someone behind them calling him, and the voice was very familiar: "Master! ”

Zuo Li turned his head to look, but it was a tall bull.

Dressed in camouflage uniforms, the badges on his chest and shoulders are the same as those of Zuo Li, the national flag and the Red Cross symbol, embroidered with Chinese and English icons of the Chinese medical team.

Zuo Li was very strange and said, "You also joined the West African medical team?" You don't know how to heal, so what kind of medical team do you join? ”

The bull smiled and said, "Yes, Master, you don't know, right? I am the vice president of our city's security company, and our company has also been notified to recruit a few volunteer security guards to follow our medical team to West Africa as escorts. I heard that Master, you had signed up, and I hurried to sign up. Master, this is called master-apprentice fate. You can't get rid of me if you want to, hehehe. ”

"Your whole piece of dog skin plaster!" Zuo Li said angrily.

Chen Tianming was very happy: "Don't say that, this is perseverance, and you will not give up until you reach your goal." ”

Although the Qiang Niu once made a big fuss in the three hospitals, Chen Tianming's perception of the Qiang Niu has changed greatly because of Qiang Niu's insistence on worshipping Zuo Li as a teacher and accepting Zuo Li's three very demanding requirements to study the world's famous works. And this unexpected trip with the same team, I have more feelings of comrades-in-arms, and I even helped the bull to speak.

The bull gratefully hugged his fist at Chen Tianming and arched his hand: "Thank you, Director Chen, for your compliment." ”

Zuo Li said helplessly: "Go and go, your legs are on you." By the way, how are you reading your world classics? ”

"I'm still watching, I've brought it all with me for this expedition. But the fifty paper books of the world's famous books were too heavy to carry, so I downloaded all the e-books and put them on my phone to read them at any time. Experience: It's hard to be honest, but I'll try to learn how to write. ”

Zuo Li nodded and said, "No problem." ”

The bull is a talker, and after getting on the plane, he listened to him talk alone, and he had to pull Zuo Li to play poker to kill time.

Zuo Li also felt that it was too boring, and he had to fly for more than ten hours, which was boring, so he agreed. Chen Tianming shook her head and said that she wanted to read a book, and she didn't know how to play poker.

Qiang Niu bragged that he played cards very well, partnered with Zuo Li, and Fat Tiger and Searchlight were a pair. As a result, Fat Tiger is a stinky card basket, always making mistakes, and being twisted by a searchlight. He wasn't angry, he just laughed dryly, of course, he was beaten by the superb chess skills of Qiang Niu and Zuo Li.

The time passed quickly, and they finally got through the long more than ten hours of air travel, and they finally flew to the skies over Africa.

They landed at the international airport in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Then they unloaded the donated medical materials, loaded them into transport trucks, and took a bus to a nearby military airport, from where they took the donated supplies to the epidemic areas in West Africa on a military transport plane.

Because all flights in the affected areas have been grounded, only military flights are still transporting supplies and military personnel to and fro.
