Duofan, Lu Yuan, Zhaoli and Chade returned to their tents.

In addition to four beds arranged along the rectangular tent, four chairs, and a table by the door, all that was left of the tent was some miscellaneous items by the door. Each chair is also empty, and its belongings are placed. After many times, the three of them were sorting out their sleeping bags, preparing to go into a long sleep, and Lu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed thinking about his thoughts.

Sorting out his sleeping bag many times: "Old Lu, you don't rest and rest." ”

Lu Yuan: "No, I'll go to the greenhouse later." ”

Zhao Li: "It's better to sit still and go now!" You're comfortable, you can move freely, the three of us are miserable, to say something unpleasant, it's like squatting in prison! ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "I've already tasted prison, and now it's time for you to experience it too." Am I not waiting for a spacesuit right now! When you put it on, you go. ”

Many times: "You talk! I'm sleepy. ”

Zhaoli: "Lao Duo didn't sleep well at night, because he was worried about his son, right?" ”

sighed many times: "Hey! Lao Zhao, there is something wrong with what you said. ”

Zhao Li pricked up his ears: "What's wrong?" ”

Many times: "How can it be said that it is like squatting in prison!" ”

Chad's laughter: "Hey, hey! What do you mean 'it's going to jail'! Lu Yuan and Zhao Li both "Hehe! He laughed out loud.

said angrily many times: "You kid, what words can change the taste when you say it in your mouth!" I mean, in order not to infect each other, isn't it a last resort to isolate like this! How do you say it's a prison! ”

Zhaoli: "You know! As far as you can understand! ”

Many times: "Take Lao Tzu as happily as possible." ”

Zhao Li: "What did you say?" Say it again? I didn't hear clearly. ”

Chade smiled: "He said, 'Take Lao Tzu as much as you can'." ”

Zhaoli immediately got out of his sleeping bag, sat on the edge of the bed and stared, pretending to be angry and said to Chade: "He swept you in, and you can't hear it." Clean up, clean up this old guy and see if he's talking nonsense. Cha De also jumped out of his sleeping bag when he heard the sound, and rubbed his hands: "You old immortal, dare to scold me." The two of them threw themselves on the bed many times. yelled many times: "What are you doing! Lao Lu save me! ”

Lu Yuan only laughed on the side.

Zhao Li and Chade blushed hard, turning their stomachs down and their backs up.

Zhao Li: "You lock his legs, I lock his hands." ”

Zhao Li crossed Duoban's hands from behind his back, and found that Duoban bent his calves above and tried to stick to Duofan's thighs, and the two of them were panting heavily, and their mouths were nagging: "Let you call Lao Tzu, let you call Lao Tzu." ”

Many times: "Oops! Tap, you're real! ”

Zhao Li: "Happy! The mouth is quite hard, give him more strength. After finding that half of his body was pressed against his calves, Zhaoli pulled his two arms onto the big fork.

Many times: "Oops! Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. ”

Zhao Li: "Do you dare to call Lao Tzu in the future." ”

Many times: "Don't dare, don't dare." Zhaoli and Chade stopped, and returned to their bedside to sit and gasp. After many times of slow and painful looks, he turned his body and turned his face up again, and kept touching his arms and legs: "Why is it so heavy, oops!" It hurts to death. ”

Lu Yuan smiled: "How old are you, you are all fathers, according to the ancient habits of early marriage and early love, you can already be grandfathers, and you are still so nonsense." ”

Zhao Li smiled: "Heh! Scold! Didn't we sleep well last night? This is also to relax his muscles and bones and refresh him. ”

Chad: "Hey, hey! In the future, if you scold again, we will help you refresh yourself. ”

Many times: "I won't thank you for helping me." ”

Chad: "No thanks! I like to do that. ”

Turning sideways several times, face inward: "Tired, sleep." Zhaoli and Chade also drilled into the sleeping bag as if they were inducted, and Zhaoli said to himself: "Sleep and sleep." ”

Lu Yuan: "Hey, hey! It's over! It's quiet now. ”

Zhaoli: "Old Lu, don't forget to turn off the lights." ”

In the haze, someone said: "Wake up!" Wake up! ”

The three of them looked sleepily at the door, and a man in white opened the door and flashed in. The sudden light and the man in white made the eyes of the three people who opened their eyes stabbed, and they quickly closed them with their hands while quickly closing them for a while.

The one who found out was weak: "Oops! Who-huh? Zhaoli also said listlessly: "Who?" Shocking. ”

One of them closer was a female voice: "Wake up!" ”

Only then did the three of them realize that there was another person closer to them. In the dimness, it was vaguely discernible that the man was also wearing a white spacesuit that was attached from top to toe, and the spherical helmet around his neck was half transparent and half opaque. The light behind the transparent area is so dim that you can't see who it is.

Repeatedly: "Please turn on the lights." Who are you? What's the matter? "The one who came in from behind turned on the lights.

Female voice: "I'm Le Siya, I'm going to draw your blood now." ”

Zhaoli: "It's you!" Blood draws? Why? ”

Lesia: "Take a blood test!" ”

Chad: "We're going to test it too?" ”

Le Siya: "No one can be special, they have to be tested." ”

Many times: "Oh! Let's smoke it. He sat up and raised his right arm.

Where was Le Siya stunned: ""

Many times impatient: "Pump! ”

Le Siya said angrily: "If you don't roll up the sleeves of your clothes, how can I smoke them." ”

Many times: "Whew! ”

Lesia inserted the syringe into the vein of the cubital fossa several times, and for a while she did not draw much.

Lesia: "That hand." ”

He did so many times, raised his left hand, and looked at Le Siya glaring at him, and said many times: "Wow! He rolled up his left sleeve again. Lesia slapped his elbow socket a few times with her hand, spotted the spot and pricked another needle, but still didn't draw much blood.

Many times still not very sober: "I'm out of blood? ”

Le Siya smiled and said angrily: "You won't die without blood, you just woke up, you are not active, and the blood has not flowed to your hands." Wait a minute, I'll pump theirs and move my arms on my own. ”

Le Siya approached the side of Zhaoli's bed, Zhaoli sat on the bed and raised his bare right arm, staring at Lesiya's face behind the hood, and said without words: "It's my turn?!" He added: "It's better for me to cooperate, shouldn't I praise it?" ”

Le Siya ignored him with a straight face, only raised his right hand in front of his eyes to take a look, and saw that the cyan veins on the inside of his elbow could not be seen clearly: "You can't do it either." ”

Le Siya turned to the side of the bed and kicked the bed: "Hey! Why are you still sleeping, get up, lazy worm! ”

Chad: "Sister-in-law, me"

Lesia: "Get up! Let me see your elbow socket. ”

Repeatedly sarcastically checked: "When is this!?" What's the situation!? Hum! It's useless to call Auntie. Lesia chuckled.

Zhao Li: "Hah! Ha! Ha! I'm laughing to death, you're bad enough. ”

Cha De was not angry, but still said in a relaxed tone: "You and I and Lao Lu are brothers, so you and Lao Lu will also be called auntie." ”

I only heard a light pat "pop", patted on Chade's head, Le Siya: "It's not big or small, it's a joke about your sister-in-law." ”

Cha De's aggrieved cry: "Why don't you beat him." ”

Lesia: "Say! ”

Chade sat up, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "Let me call you Auntie, doesn't that mean that you are old, do you think you take advantage" The first sentence is not bad, it is very comfortable to listen to Le Siya, but the addition of the latter sentence is heartwarming.

Le Siya's scolding: "Say it again! ”

Chad: ""

After a while, Lesia began to pack up the phlebotomy tools.

Chad: "Okay? ”

Lesia: "You can't either. ”

Walking to the door, Le Siya turned around: "You guys are active, I'll come back in half an hour." Remember, don't move too much, just let the blood flow to the limbs. If you still lie in bed and I can't draw blood, I'll prick your eyes a few more times. ”

"Bang!" Behind him was a commotion in the tent, and Le Siya smiled and pouted: "Go" beckoned his companion to walk towards another tent.

Ivan and Wenhe were talking to the communicator, while Dokik, all the time, was in front of the monitor in front of his desk, looking at the screen or typing in various data and symbols. This is the scene in Ivan's tent, which is still busy every day from the time when the sky is unknown to when most of the people in the base have slept.

Ivan was sitting at his desk, facing the communicator, and Wen He was sitting beside him.

The communicator came: "There are a few people here who want to take a flight over to see how their families are doing, do you think it will work?" ”

Ivan's resolute expression: "Absolutely not." ”

Communicator: "Shall I reply to them like this?" ”

Ivan stammered apologetically, "Oh! Which! Which! No, you can be tactful, ah! For example: I have the best doctors and nurses here to watch over them, so that they can work with confidence, such as: yes! In short, to be tactful, you must not say how bad the situation here is, how harsh and so on, this will not only affect their emotions, in case they really break through, it will also affect the patient's mood and the doctor's treatment here, and the consequences will be serious.

I would also like to explain to you here that you should work with peace of mind.

We have come here from so far away, and we have encountered so many dangers and hardships on the way, haven't we all come here? Now, seeing that our crop breeding work is about to bear fruit, we will soon be able to plant a large area, and our biggest problem of grain will also be solved. Although there are some epidemics at present, how can such small problems stop us from continuing to survive! Right! If you think about it, that's the truth.

So I ask you to rest assured that we are only getting past this little hurdle at the moment. Moreover, sooner or later, this hurdle will appear, so now that it has appeared, we have to face it and solve it. If it's solved, won't we be able to continue to live in peace and stability again? ”

After saying this, Ivan: "Ahem! Ahem! He coughed for a while, and his tired sweat came out. He had rarely spoken at length before, and this time he couldn't help but be a little nervous. He pulled out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

There was silence in the communicator for a while, and it was a positive voice: "Okay! I will advise them, don't worry! The communicator screen closes.

Wen He looked at Ivan with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that the blood pressure is a little high, you bring my medicine." As he spoke, he turned around, and Wen He was already looking for medicine in the drawer of his desk.

Ivan looked at the time on the communicator: "Whew! The sun is about to go down, and the collector can rush back by taking the blood samples of the first base people, right? ”

"No problem, it's just over two hours away, and it's only getting dark."

"How's the virus testing in human blood samples here? It should be almost over! ”

Wen He shrugged: "I guess it's almost." ”

Ivan connected to the infirmary: "I'm Ivan, are the results of the blood sample virus test coming out?" ”

The woman's voice on the communicator: "Oh! It's out."

Ivan was a little anxious, but his voice was quite kind: "What happened? Go ahead! ”

"No, that's great!

"Hmm!"

"In addition to those whose symptoms are obvious and can be confirmed from the superficial condition, other people's blood samples show that they have also been infected. That is to say, except for those who have been isolated due to their illness, the people who have not been quarantined here are also infected, or virus carriers. The other party paused for a moment as if waiting for Ivan's response.

Ivan's face expression and tone were calm: "Hmm! ”

"From the first critically ill patients to be infected, we searched for a suspected first infected person."

"Who?"

"It's Tamin."

"Why him?"

"We used holographic fluoroscopy, blood sample testing, pathological analysis of tissue sections, and most importantly, we found two viruses in a tissue section of a scar on his left wrist, in a clotted blood clot, and in his respiratory system. The two viruses are basically the same in terms of high-power microscopic appearance, but there are some differences in the gene fragments. ”

"Does that prove he's the first to infect?"

"Didn't I say 'suspicious'!"

"Oh!"

"We found a contagious virus in his body, and a virus in and around his wounds that was not contagious, but was basically similar to the infectious virus. From this, we can deduce such a process: that is, the incontagious virus invades his body through the wound and mutates, and then produces an infectable virus, so that it infects our entire base. ”

"Hmm!"

"We only detected two viruses in the blood of Tamin's from the blood samples of all the base personnel, and he was one of the first patients to be detected, so we came to the conclusion that the 'first person was suspected to be infected'."

Ivan let out a long sigh: "Hey-" "Do you have a rescue plan now?" ”

"Hmmm! As you know, Professor, we are complete outsiders. The environment in which we are born and grow up is not here - such a microbe, viral environment, and it is impossible for our various cells to adapt to this environment immediately, let alone resist the attack of viruses in the microbial environment here. ”

Ivan was apologetic: "I know! As you know, I'm not studying this or any kind of virology, and I don't know anything about it. Ay! It's been almost a year since we've been here, and now there is such a serious virus infection. ”

"If you really want to explain, you have to elaborate, now is not the time, and it's too troublesome, can you elaborate on it when you have time?"

"Just talk about it, it doesn't matter, I don't study this."

"Then I'll keep it simple. In fact, we have been exposed to all kinds of viruses here anytime and anywhere during this period of time, but these viruses do not understand our body cells, so the invading viruses are killed by our cells, mainly white blood cells, and excluded from the body, but over time, after a long period of such contact, these viruses have begun to adapt to our body, and the next thing is that they begin to be able to chew our cells. ”

"This, these invisible things, seem to have wisdom!"

A slight laugh came from the communicator: "Don't look at the viruses, they are so small that they can't be seen with the naked eye, and even an ordinary microscope can't tell what they look like." But they are much earlier than the emergence of human beings in the universe, I am afraid that there have been hundreds of millions or even billions of years, and some people have deduced that the emergence of viruses is basically similar to the emergence of the universe.

They are small, but they are much more adaptable than us humans. Time will tell, right? ”

"Hmmm! Right! Right! ”

The communicator was silent for a moment: "What else!" Right! What is our solution that you asked earlier? That's right, we're still working on it, so I'll let you know if it's available, okay? Professor. ”

"Okay! I hope you guys can hurry. So be it! Report any progress later, I will not ask questions to put pressure on you in the future. ”

"Thank you Professor for your understanding and support."

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Don't close it yet, I'm sorry, I still have a question that suddenly comes to mind."

"It's okay, you say."

"I'm trying to ask, can't we solve it with the drugs we have?"

"Oh! Yes! All kinds of drugs we bring have been physical, chemical and clinical experiments, and the results do not have much effect.

As you know, these drugs are used to deal with the virus carried by the earth and our own way, and it is impossible to kill the brand-new virus here, which has been confirmed both theoretically and clinically. ”

After a pause, the communicator: "During this time (referring to the 'lucky' planet), there is no time for us to research new drugs, and there is no symptomatic virus for drug research. Although there are virus samples, it takes time to develop new drugs, and it is unlikely that new drugs can be developed without more than half a year or more than a year.

In fact, we have already started to study new drugs, but the problem is that the current epidemic is too serious and the development is too fast, which does not allow us to have too much time to wait for the research and application of new drugs. But please rest assured, we will try our best to prepare multiple sets of plans to deal with it.

Also, it can be completely cured, so absolutely, I can't and can't tell you now, but we'll do our best, that's the only promise I have to you right now. ”

Ivan pondered for a long time, recalling Lesia's words in the communicator: "Okay, I know, you guys are busy, but you also have to pay attention to rest." ”

"Thank you!"

Heaven and earth have been filled with a dark sky. The sound of waves from the distant sea hitting the rocks of the reef can be faintly heard in the man-made structures on the silent island. For many days, day and night, there were no more noisy voices and moving people. But the light leaking from the cracks of many tents, and the glare behind the glass blocks of the tall thermostatic shed, indicate that this place, the island, is still the site of life.
