Chapter 177: Grim Situation
"In addition, there are also a group of patients in Violent City, sixty kilometers away, we followed the orders of Boss Luoya, locked them inside, leaving two doctors, but one died not long ago, and there is still one left, of course, we also regularly send supplies and medical supplies to them, but the number of deaths is increasing day by day, and it is estimated that it will not last long."
Margaret added on the side, saying, "The people in Violent City are strongly asking to come out, especially the doctor, I went to see it a few days ago, and it's really ......"
Even her appearance is so ugly, people who have always been hard-hearted can't stand it!
In fact, most of the people who can leave Storm City have sneaked out, but almost all of them are infected, and they are waiting to die when they go out, or they will infect more people!
The black scorpion was silent: "......"
Loya instructed him that if he couldn't hold on, he would give up here, lead the healthy people, go back to the United States or Mexico, and make a comeback later.
However, the black scorpion is unwilling to give up easily, because, in addition to being an important base for the Violent Queen's organization, which was finally brought down and a lot of infrastructure construction was carried out, it was also his hometown!
The largest tribe in the surrounding area, where he was born, had many of his relatives and friends.
It is impossible for him to leave with so many relatives and friends. And many people may not be willing to follow him away.
If nothing else, let's just say that his old father, with his support, has just become a chief. Now that he has a taste, it is impossible to listen to him.
What his old father didn't know was that if the black scorpion left, his position as chief would not be kept at all. I'm going to be killed by someone else!
The black scorpion frowned, came back from his chaotic thoughts, and said, "Doctor Zhou, there are four doctors in the base, and they know the disease better than me, why don't I call them out and let them report to you carefully!" ”
Zhou Qiao waved his hand: "They are estimated to be very busy, and there may be a risk of bringing out germs, so I'd better go in directly." ”
"Huh? This is going in? ”
"I just arrived, why don't you rest for the night first, and then talk about it tomorrow?"
The black scorpion and Margaret were surprised and persuaded one after another.
Zhou Qiao said: "I'm not here for tourism, so let's go in first, if I don't solve the problem, I won't come out!" ”
"Huh?" Black Scorpion and Margaret and the others looked at each other.
The black scorpion was a little worried, if something happened to Zhou Qiao, how would he explain to Boss Luoya?
However, in the end, he couldn't resist Zhou Qiao, so he had to send him in person.
The base in the middle of the mountain, the space is very large, and the black scorpion asks people to drive, while moving slowly, he points in all directions and gives Zhou Qiao a brief introduction, what are the areas and what are the main functions.
Originally, this is all confidential, and ordinary people are not qualified to know, but who is Zhou Qiao?
That's the man behind the boss! Therefore, the black scorpion was introduced very seriously.
In this base, there are even many tanks and large unmanned fighters, and there are many advanced weapons in the arsenal that far surpass the surrounding forces, which makes Zhou Qiao staggered.
It's just that the black scorpion said that many high-level officers in the surrounding forces have returned from studying in the Chinese military academy, and the means of fighting are endless, and the base suffered a lot of losses at the beginning, and later after Luo Ya's boss gave them special training and cracked the opponent's tactics, they slowly leveled the disadvantage, and even relied on the advanced equipment to slowly gain the upper hand.
Margaret smiled: "Boss Loya is a natural tactical genius, and many of her ideas are refreshing to us, and we all sincerely worship and support her. ”
Zhou Qiao nodded, Luo Ya does have a lot of advantages, she can be regarded as a natural leader and handsome talent, but he doesn't understand a little, why do you have to go to East Africa to establish a base, is it just for the gold, diamonds and some precious resources and minerals here?
In the United States, even if you don't want to be a police inspector or a Fobole, isn't it about to become a Texas legislator now? Isn't it fragrant to run for governor in the future, or to go to the next level, and to be powerful?
However, without the continuous financial support from this side, Luo Ya is estimated to not be a parliamentarian or governor.
In fact, the mineral resources here are one of the important reasons. Because Luo Ya now has a lot of identities on the surface, some businesses that were not on the table on Eighteenth Street in the past, such as D products, have long been abandoned by her.
Gold, diamonds, and some rare metals can sell well no matter which country they are shipped to.
In addition, building a base here, expanding the territory, and engaging in various operations are also her hobbies.
Some people like to play similar terminal games or mobile games, but Luo Ya, the pursuit is relatively high, and likes to play the live-action version!
This mountainside base is very large, Zhou Qiao and their speed is not fast, but they are also thirty or forty yards, and they have walked for more than ten minutes.
However, the space of the base is not longitudinal, but horizontal, with many ventilation ducts leading to the Great Rift Valley along the way, as well as some emergency doors, which serve as escape routes and are not usually opened.
Eventually, the patient's quarantine area was finally reached.
This place only occupies a corner of the base, but even so, there are nearly 800 patients inside.
Zhou Qiao gasped, there were only four doctors and more than a dozen nurses out of eight hundred patients, and it was estimated that it was ...... Do your best, and obey the fate of God.
Outside the isolation area, Zhou Qiao glanced inside through the glass window on the door, and it was an empty hall, with beds one after another, and the distance between each one was about one meter and a half.
Four doctors and more than a dozen nurses, dressed in uniforms, wearing masks and gloves, were busy inside.
The black scorpion called the leading doctor inside and asked him to gather everyone over, right at the door, through the glass window, to meet Zhou Qiao first.
This is also a necessary procedure, otherwise, what if those doctors don't listen to Zhou Qiao's command?
Zhou Qiao rushed in, and people would say, "Who are you?" "There is a possibility of driving people out of the way!
Therefore, Zhou Qiao did not object.
"Okay, okay, I'll call them right away." The lead doctor was Sampson, and he was the leader of the base's medical team.
Sampson went to call someone, and the rest of the doctors and nurses were naturally full of complaints when they heard this.
A doctor also scolded and scolded, bursting out foul language: "shit! It's all busy like a dog, and you have to go over to meet the so-called new experts! ”
However, in the end, everyone had to gather around.
As for the patients, there are several critically ill and dying soon, but it is not of much use to rescue them or not. Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest can only be resisted by the patient himself.
Every day, some corpses are packed and dragged out, long numb.
The black scorpion turned on the intercom system on the wall, pointed at Zhou Qiao, and shouted inside: "This is Doctor Zhou Qiao Zhou, a famous doctor from the United States, who can't wait to come in to support you just after arriving!" I won't say much, during the time that Dr. Zhou is here, everything is under his command and arrangement, if anyone doesn't cooperate, don't blame my bullets for not having long eyes! ”
As he spoke, he slapped the submachine gun on his chest hard!
Although he is a commander, he still loves the P90 alone, and he hangs on his body every day, inseparable. This is also to cultivate a sense of gun, and you don't practice your hands for three days!
Through the huge glass window, two groups of people inside and outside looked at each other, with different eyes and expressions.
In particular, the doctors and nurses inside were very surprised: the young man outside, who was too young to speak, and looked to be in his early twenties, was the new expert? Did you graduate with an MD? No, did you graduate from undergraduate?
"Famous doctor? Sorry, haven't heard of it! One doctor shrugged his shoulders disdainfully and muttered softly.
Although Zhou Qiao is quite famous in California, these "military doctors" have been in Africa, and they haven't been back to Europe and the United States for many years, and they come out in a hurry to take a vacation, and Zhou Qiao is also a recent rise, so it's not surprising that he hasn't heard of it.
The scolding doctor couldn't help it, and raised his neck and asked in a loud voice, "May I ask Dr. Zhou, which medical school did you graduate from?" How long has it been since you graduated? Is there a license from the attending physician? ”
The series of three questions that hit the key point, although simple and ordinary, is not inferior to the life-killing Three Immortal Sword, if you change to an ordinary young doctor, you will be embarrassed on the spot, and you can't get off the stage!
The black scorpion's face is black, and his face is already black, but at this time, he is the same as the Lord of the Stove, and it is still the East African version of the Lord of the Stove.
Zhou Qiao waved his hand lightly, signaling him not to be angry, then smiled slightly, and replied to the doctor: "I graduated from a medical school in China, but I am also a visiting professor at the University of California, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In addition, I have already obtained the license of the attending doctor in the United States, issued and certified by the California Medical Board, if it is fake, you can check it at any time, anyway, the Internet is also very convenient now. ”
There is no wired network on the base for the time being, but Black Scorpion, Margaret, and the doctors here are equipped with satellite phones, and their mobile phones have international data packages, and occasionally surfing the Internet does not cost much.
As for the doctorate degree, Zhou Qiao was embarrassed to say that he hadn't gotten it yet, and he needed to wait a few months. However, this is not a thing, the doctorate is much weaker than the name of the visiting professor!
Doctor of Medicine, at most, used to study there, but the visiting professors of the two prestigious universities, that status, leverage, is equivalent to the supervisor of the doctor of medicine.
Without particularly profound attainments and fame, how can you become a visiting professor at a prestigious university. Strictly speaking, it is even more powerful than some ordinary doctoral supervisors!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned!
"Really?" The doctor couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, another doctor said, "Dr. Zhou, it is a coincidence that I also graduated from the University of California, San Francisco Medical School, but I have never heard of a young visiting professor like you?" ”
Zhou Qiao asked, "How long have you not been back?" Or how long has it been since you had been in contact with your teachers at school? ”
The doctor said, "It's been two or three years." ”
Zhou Qiao said: "That's not it." I was just hired last year! ”
The doctor nodded: "Then I'll contact the professor at the school when I'm free and confirm." ”
Zhou Qiao shrugged, meaning casual. Am I afraid of you going to find out?
The black scorpion frowned and shouted, "Why, you still dare to question Doctor Zhou?" He couldn't help but tighten the gun in his hand!
You questioned Dr. Zhou, just don't give me face, really don't dare to kill you?
Although Boss Luo Ya has given you a very high status, I don't dare to touch you easily, but if you provoke Dr. Zhou, hehe, I'll be logical! Boss Loya won't say anything either.
Zhou Qiao waved his hand, signaling him to be calm.
"Otherwise, you all go back, I'll just change my clothes and go in." Zhou Qiao said to the black scorpion, Margaret and others.
"Okay, if you need anything, just call me. You can move these guards outside at any time! The black scorpion beckoned, called the guards, and instructed them to listen to Dr. Zhou's arrangements and protect Dr. Zhou.
"Yes, sir~" the guards shouted in unison.
"Doctor Zhou, I'll leave it to you here, and I'll have someone bring dinner later. The conditions are simple, and I hope Dr. Zhou will overcome them more. The black scorpion said apologetically.
Zhou Qiao smiled: "It's still the same sentence, I'm not here for a vacation!" Ordinary working meals are fine. ”
"Doctor Zhou, let's retire first, there are still a lot of things to deal with outside." The black scorpion and Margaret gave Zhou Qiao a standard American military salute in unison, and then left.
On the other side of the glass window, the doctors and nurses looked at each other, what happened? What is the origin of this man? Even Chief Black Scorpion and Chief Margaret are so respectful? Also salute? I haven't seen them salute us at any time, they have always shouted and drunk us as if we were subordinates!
"Why don't you leave?" Zhou Qiao looked at the two black beauties Yaji and Lu Xianna in surprise. Suddenly, I felt that I was a little familiar with what I said, but I forgot where I had said it?
Jackey and Lu Xianna glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "We won't go, the boss has said, let us protect you closely, and you can't leave a single step!" ”
Zhou Qiao: "Then I go to bed at night, will you follow me?" ”
"Uh-huh~" Jacqui and Lusena nodded repeatedly.
Zhou Qiao: "......" guess they were joking.
However, even if they sleep, they probably sleep in this quarantine area, and they want to follow, so they follow.
So, when Zhou Qiao went to change into isolation clothes, Yaji and Lu Xianna also followed, they didn't change their own first, but helped Zhou Qiao change his clothes one left and one right!
Unable to meet the kindness of the two slender black beauties, Zhou Qiao stretched out his arms, lifted his legs, and changed the isolation gown.
Suddenly I feel so guilty, this is the king of the king experience card renewed?
When Yaji and Lu Xianna changed Zhou Qiao, they were very slow and careful, but when it was the turn of the two of them, three times five divided by two, in just a few seconds, they quickly put on their clothes, and Zhou Qiao was stunned.
The contrast between before and after is too great!
Yaggy and Lu Xianna just felt that some of the patients inside were very rude, and some of them had problems with their orientation, and Dr. Zhou was so weak and handsome, what if he was bullied?
But they forgot how relaxed and casual Zhou Qiao was when he wore body armor on the chariot before.
What's more, Zhou Qiao also has the self-defense ability of perfect level hypnosis, how can these sick people hurt him? Besides, they are all sick and lying in bed, waiting to die, where do they have the ability and mood to bully doctors?
It's too late to ask the doctor to treat the disease and save your life!
After Zhou Qiao entered, he greeted everyone and said, "I don't know which one is free, can you introduce me to the specific situation." "Black Scorpion and Margaret weren't professionals before, and they spoke very roughly.
"I'm sorry, but I still have a few patients over there who need urgent attention."
"Me too."
"Me too."
The doctors and nurses were gone. Nurses are really busy, but doctors are not.
However, to Zhou Qiao's relief, there was still a doctor who stayed.
And as soon as the other party spoke, Zhou Qiao was slightly stunned!
"Dr. Chow, it's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Chen Zhining, and I will introduce you next! "The other party's Mandarin is very standard, and he actually speaks Chinese.
Zhou Qiao said in surprise: "I'm still very happy to hear your standard Beijing films in this kind of foreign country!" I'm not a northerner though. ”
Zhou Qiao's Mandarin has a bit of a southern accent, at least he is not very good at curling his tongue.
Then he straightens his tongue, if it is a more solemn occasion for poetry recitation or something, or when the speed of speech is relatively slow, he can also say it standardly, but in daily conversation, he often does not go out of his way to divide it.
Zhou Qiao stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Zhining, both wearing gloves, but it didn't matter.
After a brief chat, Zhou Qiao learned that although Dr. Chen's Mandarin is very standard, he has actually followed his mother abroad since he was a child, studied in high school and university in the United States, and his MD was also studied in the United States, and he graduated from Emory University School of Medicine in Georgia, USA.
At first, he also opened a private clinic, but later because his father was a gambler and owed too many debts, in order to pay off his father's debts, he had to sell the clinic, and then joined Luo Ya's command and came to the East African base as the attending doctor of the base's medical team.
The main thing is that Luo Ya's remuneration is very generous, far more profitable than opening a clinic, and the other thing is that Luo Ya promised him that he could advance his salary for five years! His father's debt crisis could be solved in one fell swoop.
Zhou Qiao sighed lightly, patted Chen Zhining's shoulder, and then the two walked towards the ward.
Chen Zhining is very professional and understands the condition of each patient very well.
Soon, Zhou Qiao roughly figured out the current situation.
He didn't use the system's auxiliary diagnostic function, mainly because he had just operated on Veronica not long ago, and the account balance was not much now, only 136 points, and there was no replenishment here, unless Luo Ya was busy and rushed over to meet.
You have to be careful and save a little money.
There's no way he'll eat Jaggie and Lusena head-on, right? That was too much, after all, it was Luo Ya's personal bodyguard sent to him. Moreover, although the black beauty is beautiful, he really can't be interested.
This unknown disease, which the base medical team has named "Disease X", is a new type of virus that has never been seen before, mainly invading the kidneys, causing kidney failure, which in turn causes the rest of the organs to fail.
However, many patients also have heart, lung, liver and other parts of the infection. Eventually, it is also a multi-organ failure death!
It's very confusing.
The lethality rate is naturally quite high, generally starting from obvious symptoms of infection (high fever, fatigue, waist and abdominal soreness, foamy urine, hematuria, heart rhythm disorders), no more than seven days, that is, death!
As for infectivity, it is relatively weak, but it is also more than malaria.
Malaria is easy to treat, and there are corresponding medicines, but for this unknown disease, they have tried many drugs, but basically they are ineffective or have little effect, and they do not work.
In addition, they have not yet fully figured out how the disease spreads. Direct contact with blood, feces, and the body has been determined, but it is not known whether it is transmitted through droplets, mosquito bites, etc.
For safety, they have made the highest level of protection. Doctors and nurses, all wearing isolation gowns.
"At the beginning, we were also short of doctors and medicines, but Boss Luo Ya is very patterned, it is said that an additional investment of eight million has been added, and a large number of drugs and equipment have been transported in a short period of time, and there are nearly 100 hemodialysis machines alone, but unfortunately, the relief is alleviated, but after all, the symptoms are not cured, and the number of deaths every day is still increasing."
"At the beginning, there were more than 3,000 patients isolated here, but now there are less than 900 left, maybe, when these people are all dead, maybe this small disaster will be over!" Chen Zhining sighed self-deprecatingly.
But he knew that it was impossible, because the reason why the number of patients did not continue to increase was because they were eligible, and there were not many patients sent to this base quarantine area, and there were many indigenous people, who would not have the opportunity to be transported here for treatment.
The medical area of this base only accepts the fighters, logistics personnel and their related relatives of the base. Because a lot of the fighters are recruited from the local area.
It is said that many surrounding tribes hold traditional funeral ceremonies and sacrifice ceremonies almost every day, sending off the deceased while praying for the arrival of the gods, hoping that the gods will help them!
There was a delay last night, and today and tomorrow will definitely be more than 10,000 words a day.
