Chapter 296: The Storm (I)

In general, the best way for Chen Yang and his right hand is to avoid his right-hand companion as much as possible and not get too close to him.

This is probably the most helpless but the most effective method, without contact, there can be no battle, and if you don't fight, you won't lose.

Just when Chen Yang and the two monsters in his right hand were bored with this headache for them, a shocking thing was also happening in Los Angeles outside.

After almost a week of silence, the incubation period of NDM-EH in the population is coming to an end, and a sudden outbreak of the disease is about to begin.

At the University of California Medical Center (UCLA) in Los Angeles, Professor James looked at the emergency room lobby in horror, his hands and feet were cold, and he even became a little short of breath for a while.

With many years of medical experience, it stands to reason that he should never be so disgraced, but the scene he has seen with his own eyes now can't help but be shocked by it.

The nurses running back and forth, the medical treatment that was quickly activated, the doctors rushing out of the lounge, everyone had a look of shock and confusion on their faces, and even rushed to bump into others.

If it had been before, Professor James would have frowned and let the panicked doctors accept his roar, but no one had the heart to think about anything else, including himself.

For two hours, it was as if all the people in Los Angeles had been infected by bacteria, and more than 30 patients were sent one after another, all of them were infected with bacteria! And it's all the same bacterial infection!

This is a large-scale epidemic germ event!

After seeing the same four or five patients, and thinking of the several similar patients that the other hospitals had received in the previous days, Professor James immediately asked the hospital nurses to put on full isolation gowns and isolate the patients.

At the same time as evacuating the rest of the patients who are not related to the disease, the news will be reported to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Unfortunately, at this very moment, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based in Atlanta, Georgia. It's been a mess for a long time.

More than 10 states in the United States, including the West Coast and famous cities on the East Coast, have seen a geometric increase in the number of patients infected with NDM-EH, and the number of reported cases alone has exceeded 2,739, and the number of cases is rising. The shocking impact made the staff in the headquarters turn pale.

It's just a day!

Even more terrifying than the Ebola virus......

The incident has been reported to the White House in Washington, as for what to do......

……

……

The residents of Los Angeles are probably a little strange today, and they suddenly find that the frequency of ambulance dispatches today is much higher than usual, no, not much higher, but much, much higher.

Liu Jie is a Chinese-American. It has been about seven years since he immigrated to Los Angeles, where he brought his wife and children over, and now he is quite satisfied.

I have to admit that this place in the United States is not as good as I thought when I was at home, no matter what kind of paradise it is, there are unhappy existences. After living in the United States for just one month, the United States is a paradise, and the idea that the United States is full of gold was shattered in Liu Jie's heart.

Turn between. Liu Jie, who recognized this clearly, honestly threw away his unrealistic illusions. Fortunately, I worked hard and struggled.

It took five full years to go from a mobile Chinese food stall to a Chinese cuisine with five branches, which can be regarded as "famous". With money and a certain social status, Liu Jie immediately brought his wife and children to the United States, feeling that the goal of his life has been achieved.

If there is anything unpleasant about it now. That's your own child.

Although he graduated from the local university, he didn't listen to his father at all, he didn't listen to the arrangement, and instead entered a company that he had never heard of to work, what is it called Andres?

This company sounds unreliable!

Liu Jie was depressed. But soon he shook off his depression and troubles, and took the flowers he had just bought, with a smile on his face. Today is the 24th wedding anniversary of him and his wife, although they are both old husbands and wives, but this romance cannot be less, after all, he owes his wife too much in the past few decades, and at this time, he has the ability, and he still has to make up for it.

can't live up to his wife's decades of hardship.

Holding the flowers in his hand, Liu Jie looked left and right, and was about to cross the zebra crossing, when a whistling ambulance rushed past him, and the wind swept the flowers in his hand.

"Hey, this is the third one, right?"

Liu Jie was very puzzled, walking from another street, he had already encountered three ambulances, did something happen in Los Angeles today? Or is there a traffic accident or fire nearby?

Shaking his head, no matter what, these are none of his business, or doing his own thing is the most important.

Walking into the restaurant, Liu Jie frowned suddenly, in the French elegant restaurant that should have been quiet, there were more than a dozen people in a mess, surrounding a place and not knowing what they were doing.

"Quick, call an ambulance."

"Somebody fainted here."

It's been seven years here, no matter how bad Liu Jie's speaking and hearing used to be, at this time it's no different from the locals, as soon as he heard the shouts of several service staff, he looked forward curiously, someone fainted?

Wait, the man who fainted, why is the dress so similar to what his wife is wearing today?

An ominous premonition arose, Liu Jie gasped, hurriedly threw away the flowers in his hand, squeezed away the crowd and rushed forward, looking down and couldn't help screaming, tears couldn't help but flow down.

The person who fainted to the ground, Ju is really his wife!

This is not only happening here, but also in all parts of the United States, especially in major cities such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, where the number of sudden onset of the disease has risen dramatically.

Some of them suddenly get sick during meals, some of them are in the process of driving, and there are also sudden nausea and vomiting and diarrhea during work conversations and meetings.

From 6 o'clock in the morning, the screeching of ambulances continued to ring in major cities, and by 7 o'clock in the evening, almost all hospitals were filled with patients.

Liu Jie, like many people who lost their souls, sent his relatives to the hospital, and before he could ask the doctor, he saw people wearing white protective suits walking into all corners of the hospital and began to register all the personnel.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

Some people were whispering exclaims, some people wanted to escape from the hospital, while Liu Jie kept looking for a doctor, wanting to ask about his wife who had entered the emergency room.

"I'm sorry, sir, please go and register."

Two personnel wearing white protective suits blocked the direction of the corridor on the second floor to enter the emergency room, and asked Liu Jie to go back to register.

"Wait a minute, I—I want to ask my wife."

However, Liu Jie's sad expression could not arouse the slightest sympathy from the personnel wearing white protective clothing, and looked at the crowd indifferently and vigilantly, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, please go over and register, we are people from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, please don't worry, your relatives are now in first aid, and everyone will be fine." ā€

If these people in white protective suits hadn't come in, I'm afraid that even if the people present were in a hurry, they would not be as frightened as they are now, especially after saying this, a white man stood by the window, looked outside downstairs and said in horror: "Oh my God, why did you lock down the hospital?" ā€

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the people who were still in the hall crowded to the window, and when they looked out, sure enough, several trucks drove over, and the people in white protective suits jumped down, blocking the door to enter and exit the hospital, and also pulled up a yellow cordon and a biohazard hĆ i sign.

"What do you want to do?"

"You're breaking the law!"

"I'm looking for my lawyer......"

Liu Jie was mixed in with the excited crowd, and there were hundreds of excited people, which suddenly made the personnel of more than a dozen disease control centers present nervous, and they were both persuasive and assured, but unfortunately these family members who followed the patients did not understand this. They only saw people from the disease control center suddenly break in, wearing terrible protective suits, and the doctors and nurses were nowhere to be seen, which was very strange when they thought about it.

Liu Jie listened to the roars of the white and black people around him, his eyes were full of dazed looks, his heart was full of worry about his wife, and he was afraid of the scene he didn't understand, and unconsciously, he retreated to the back of the crowd, took out his mobile phone and dialed his son's phone number.

"Toot toot...... Feed? ā€

There was a deep voice from his son on the phone, and Liu Jie, who usually felt that his son was disobedient, choked up and said: "Xiaoyi, your mother, your mother, her ......"

"My mother? What happened to my mom? ā€

On the other side of the phone, the deep tone immediately changed, and he asked urgently.

"Your mother, your mother suddenly fainted and is now being resuscitated in the hospital."

"Fainted? What's going on? How could you faint all of a sudden? Isn't my mom very healthy? ā€

Liu Jie didn't know how to answer his son's series of questions, and before he could organize a language explanation, his son's tone changed: "Wait, my mother won't be ...... Alas, how did I forget, damn it! ā€

"Xiaoyi, you, what did you say?"

Liu Jie was at a loss.

"Dad, which hospital are you in now?"

UC Medical Center...... I can't seem to get out. ā€

After hesitating, Liu Jie said.

"Can't get out? What's going on? ā€

"It's like a group of people from the disease control center, who don't allow us to leave, and we have to register our identity information."

"Quarantined you? Alas, bad! Dad, don't worry, just wait for me in the hospital. ā€

Hanging up the phone, Liu Jie was still at a loss, not knowing what his son's idea was.

At this time, he suddenly felt that his son had really grown up, and he was much calmer than himself as a father when he encountered emergencies. (To be continued......)
