[171] Stealth virus

The night recedes and a new day begins.

The Grand Theater, which has only been built for a year in the Folk Village, has been set up as a quarantine camp at this time.

On the big stage, which was supposed to be staged for various local dramas, the dark red curtain has been lifted, the seats in the theater have been removed, and dozens of simple board houses have been temporarily erected.

The people who are isolated here are all people with fever signs, one room per person, and all kinds of medical monitoring facilities are complete. Strictly speaking, the people who are quarantined here are not infected for the time being, but are only in the stage of observation.

Those who are seriously ill and have fallen into a coma are isolated in another place.

Du Xiaoyin sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Qian Xiaoyu, who was 'fully armed' in front of him, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that after a few days of separation, we would meet again." ”

Qian Xiaoyu was wearing a fully enclosed epidemic prevention suit, and said with a wry smile: "Leader, I didn't expect to see you here." Including Dali and Lin Xiu, I don't want to see anyone! ”

Du Xiaoyin smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay, I'm not a leader now, just your patient...... Tell me, how am I doing now? ”

Qian Xiaoyu sighed and said, "In normal times, I will tell you that you are nothing more than hyperthermia caused by a cold, just rest for two days and take a few pills." Now, I'm not sure of anything...... Of course, if your body temperature can recede within twenty-four hours, it is enough to prove that you are not infected. ”

Du Xiaoyin frowned and said, "Listen to what you mean, can't you even get a diagnosis now?" ”

Hearing this, Qian Xiaoyu showed a strange look on his face and said, "There are some things that can't be revealed to you, but now that you have entered the isolation camp, it doesn't matter...... Leader, you understand what I mean, right? ”

Du Xiaoyin nodded, indicating that he fully understood.

Qian Xiaoyu's words are not difficult to understand, in short, after entering the quarantine camp, whether you are infected or not, the only way to leave here is to wait until the epidemic is completely controlled and there are no hidden dangers. And until then, no one can leave here!

Qian Xiaoyu saw Du Xiaoyin nodding and continued: "At the beginning of the outbreak, everyone thought that it was caused by an unknown virus, and for this reason, we did a lot of research work. But it is disappointing, or unbelievable, that until now, we have not been able to detect the existence of this virus! ”

Du Xiaoyin is a psychologist, but he also knows a little bit about biology, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but blurt out: "How is this possible?" ”

A biological virus is a non-cellular microorganism that is small, simple in structure, contains only a single nucleic acid (DNA/RNA), and must parasitize in living cells and proliferate in a replication manner.

Like all living things, it has the ability to genetize, mutate, and evolve, and is a very small and extremely simple life form. Viruses are highly parasitic and completely dependent on the energy and metabolic systems of the host cell to obtain the substances and energy needed for life activities. Leaving the host cell, it is just a large chemical molecule, stop moving, can be made into protein crystallization, for an inanimate body, when it encounters the host cell, it will show typical life characteristics by adsorption, entering, replicating, assembling, and releasing progeny viruses, from this point of view, it is a primitive life form between living and non-living things.

"From a scientific point of view, it's really impossible, but the truth is, it doesn't exist, or we can't observe it with the current technology!"

Qian Xiaoyu sighed helplessly, and it could be seen that this fact hit him as a pathologist quite hard.

Du Xiaoyin's eyes gradually showed a trace of fear, and said: "If you can't even find the body of the virus, wouldn't this mean ......?"

Speaking of this, she stopped talking, looking at Qian Xiaoyu, as if hoping that he would stand up and give a different opinion.

Qian Xiaoyu nodded gloomily and said, "To tell you the truth, the current research work has come to a standstill, and the command has reported the news to the highest level." Around this evening, a group of top experts from all over the country will be stationed in the Folk Village. ”

Hearing the news, Du Xiaoyin was completely silent.

In the past two days, she had foreseen that the situation was developing in the bad direction, but she did not expect it to collapse to such an extent.

If even the body of this unknown virus cannot be discovered, it means that once it spreads, human beings will not have any means to restrain it!

"Do you believe in apocalypse?" Qian Xiaoyu suddenly asked.

Du Xiaoyin's face was a little dazed, and said, "It turned out that I didn't believe it, but ......"

Qian Xiaoyu said: "I didn't believe it originally......

Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up and said, "Hey, why am I talking about this?" If my mentor heard this, he would have given me two bursts of chestnuts. ”

As he spoke, he put away the stethoscope and other instruments, and said, "Leader, you have a good rest and drink more water." ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Du Xiaoyin said, "Xiaoyu, do you have any medicine here to treat scalds?" ”

Qian Xiaoyu said: "Are you burned?" ”

Du Xiaoyin told Da Li and Lin Xiu about cooking by themselves in the small courtyard of the farmhouse in the past few days, and said: "When it was my turn to cook, I was accidentally burned by the fire. ”

Qian Xiaoyu said: "You wait, I'll go get you medicine right away." ”

Waiting for Qian Xiaoyu to leave, Du Xiaoyin slowly opened his hand and looked at the burns in his palm.

Here, it wasn't accidentally burned by the fire while cooking, but burned by the red-hot projectile from last night!

The scene from last night is still in front of me...... Du Xiaoyin looked at his palm in a daze, and suddenly sighed softly.

She had long understood the magic and mystery of Mo Yan, and as time passed, she felt that she could barely understand that guy.

But now it seems that this understanding is too wishful thinking...... After a while, Qian Xiaoyu brought the ointment for treating burns and said, "I forgot to tell you that the person who was injured by you last night was found, and it was a local villager." ”

Du Xiaoyin asked, "How is he now?" ”

Qian Xiaoyu said: "There is no big problem with the body, your shot only hurt a little flesh and skin, it looks scary, but it is actually not a big deal." But mentally ......"

He shook his head, but he stopped talking.

It must have completely collapsed, right? Du Xiaoyin sighed and did not continue to ask.

……………………………… Courtyard No. 36, in Mei Qingqian's temporary bedroom.

The girl lay on the bed, her snort was calm, and she had fallen into a deep sleep.

Mo Yan sat on the edge of the bed, his slender and steady fingers resting on Mei Qingqian's veins, and his face looked indifferent.

Beside him, Mei Sanding was restless, looking at him with a smile, and he didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, Mo Yan withdrew his hand.

At this time yesterday, he used his true qi as a needle to hook up and stimulate the innate origin in Mei Qingqian's body, causing it to start working on its own. Today, it is up to us to determine whether this self-operation can continue without hindrance.

Mei Sanding swallowed nervously, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it?" ”

Mo Yan smiled slightly and said, "Old Mei, congratulations, the shallow origin can already operate on its own, and there is no hindrance!" ”

Hearing this, Mei Sanding took a deep breath...... After getting the answer he wanted most, he didn't jump up in surprise like ordinary people, but sat there and was stunned for a long time.

This old man can't be a happy fool, right?

Mo Yan slandered in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Old man, don't learn from Fan Jin, I'm a junior, don't dare to break ground on your old face!" ”

When Mei Sanding heard this, he glared at him, then sighed lightly and said, "It's been ten years, I've been looking forward to this scene in front of me, and I've been looking forward to it for ten years." I thought that when this day really came, I would be pleasantly surprised......"

Speaking of this, he patted Mo Yan on the shoulder and said with emotion: "When this moment really comes, there is of course joy, but more of it is tiredness from the bottom of my heart, and a great sense of relief. Mo Yan, you not only cured the shallow disease, but also gave the old man a relief. Otherwise, the day I die, my eyes must be open! ”

Mo Yan smiled: "Old Mei, today is a happy day, let's not say such musty words, okay?" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Let Qingqian sleep well, let's go out first." ”

The two walked out of the room, Mei Sanding looked at Courtyard 36, where there was no leisure to speak of, and said apologetically: "I've been bothering you for a long time, I'll let Chris and them move out today." ”

Mo Yan laughed and said, "Then I'm really thankful!" ”

Mei Sanding smiled: "You kid, can't you pretend to be polite?" ”

It has been determined that the strange disease of the baby granddaughter has been completely cured, and the old man is extremely happy in his heart, and said: "The old man talks about the madness of youth...... Mo Yan, do you have the courage to accompany the old man and me to fight for a good drink? ”

Mo Yan smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I don't bully the elderly." ”

Mei Sanding said: "I have quit drinking for many years, and today is the first time to quit, you must accompany me to drink this wine." ”

An old man and a young man laughed and walked downstairs to the backyard.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw that Chris was already sitting in the wooden pavilion, looking at the newspaper in his hand with a solemn face.

Seeing Mo Yan and Mei Sanding, Chris said: "Mo, I know you are a person with a way, can you help me contact the medical institutions in your city?" ”

Mo Yanqi said: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Chris raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "I want to participate in the prevention and control of the epidemic that happened in Laishui Town, your city, I am a doctor, and it is my duty to save lives and help the wounded." Mo, can you do me a favor? ”

Mo Yan smiled and said, "To be honest, I really can't help you with this favor...... Chinese are more accustomed to solving their own affairs, you are a big-nosed foreigner, this kind of big thing, and it is not your turn to intervene. ”

After a slight pause, he saw Chris's face full of doubts and puzzlement, and said: "Big nose, you don't have to be surprised, this is a difference in concept, and it is not intended to reject your kindness." ”

Chris retorted: "Don't you Chinese have a saying called 'one good man and three gangs'?" ”

Mo Yan said: "Yes, there is this sentence, but the hero here refers to his own hero, not an alien hero like you." ”

Chris shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is clearly discrimination and xenophobia......"

mentioned the epidemic that happened in Laishui Town, Mo Yan didn't care much, but Mei Sanding on the side frowned slightly.

"Mo Yan, there seems to be something wrong with this epidemic......"

The old man gently tugged on Mo Yan's sleeve and said in a low voice: "In the past, when the epidemic occurred, the propaganda was basically liberalized, but this time, public opinion was quite well controlled. ”
