Chapter 125: Forty-Eight Hours (July 23, 2/2 Subscription Request)
At the entrance of the camp, the lights are bright. Before Sun Lien and the others' car arrived at the door, they had already heard the boiling life coming from the camp, and even the sound of dogs barking.
"It's noisy inside. Liu Tangchun and Sun Lien Hu Jia sat in a car, he squinted at the American camp, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, "I guess I found that someone ran away, and I am organizing forces to prepare to find someone." โ
The vehicle stopped at the gate of the camp, and two American GIs wearing desert camouflage uniforms walked out with a frown, and they waved their hands to the vehicle in which Sun Lien and others were riding, signaling them to leave immediately.
Liu Tangchun got out of the car and said something to the two soldiers. Sun Lien clearly saw the sudden change in the expressions of the two soldiers in the car, and then one of them turned his head and ran towards the camp, as if he had gone to ask the superior officer.
After about ten minutes, two American officers with dark faces walked out of the camp. The white officer who walked in front of him shouted angrily at Liu Tangchun. Sun Lien didn't hear what he was shouting, but he saw the white officer pulling out the pistol directly from his belt.
The armed guards quickly jumped out of the car and pointed their weapons at each other. The Asian officer behind the white officer also had a changed face, snatched the pistol from the white officer's hand, and shouted at the other man.
The situation suddenly became chaotic. Several soldiers with guns did not know whether to point their guns at the armed guards and Liu Tangchun at the gate of the camp first, or follow the commander to surround the white officers first. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and a sudden change in the situation occurred.
The white officer suddenly fell to his knees with his head in his hands, and he fell to his knees almost with a howl on his face, his eyes were naked. But the screams didn't last long, and after about a few seconds, he suddenly opened his mouth and vomited on the ground. Dirt erupted from his mouth, splashing nearly a meter away on the ground.
Sudden, severe headache, coupled with ejection of vomit. Sun Lien jumped out of the car as soon as possible, which looked like a typical symptom of a ruptured brain aneurysm. has the same idea as Sun Lien, as well as Liu Tangchun, who is standing closer. He had already put on a mask and gloves, and when the white officer fell to the ground with his head in his hands, he had already rushed to the other party's side to prepare for the rescue.
In fact...... In an environment like Africa, a sudden rupture of a brain aneurysm is basically hopeless. A ruptured aneurysm can cause rapid brain herniation and then death. Unless there is an urgent craniotomy, which simultaneously releases cranial pressure and stops the bleeding, the person is dead.
However, just as Sun Lien and Liu Tangchun rushed forward to prepare for the rescue, all the American GIs, including the one with the recaptured pistol in his hand, scattered in terror. It was as if the man who fell to his knees was not his comrade-in-arms, but some kind of devil who could eat people.
Liu Tangchun felt that the situation was wrong, and quickly stopped his pace. And Sun Lien also found something wrong from the status bar.
The status bar did not indicate any symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage on the part of the white officer, but rather an acute meningitis that lasted 27 hours.
"Is this the symptom of the infectious disease in your camp?" Liu Tangchun shouted to the Asian officer who was avoiding him in the distance, "All of them are like this? Hey, I'm talking to you! Can you be a little brave like a man?"
The Asian officer ducked back at least ten meters before shouting to Liu Tangchun, "Almost half of the people are like him! The doctors have nothing to do, and all the people with headaches die almost in a day!"
Sun Lien, who heard this, chuckled in his heart. According to the indication in the status bar, the white officer had acute meningitis only 27 hours after the onset of the disease, which means that almost all of the patients died almost 48 hours after the onset of the disease.
Such a short course of disease, such a high mortality rate...... There are only two diseases in Sun Lien's knowledge system that can be compared to the current situation - plague or Ebola.
However, when plague spreads in a human population, not all of them present as acute meningitis, and Ebola can be fatal for at least two days and the symptoms are particularly pronounced. Sun doesn't think medical experts in the U.S. will not recognize Ebola.
If it weren't for the plague or Ebola...... What kind of illness could this be? Sun Lien frowned and was thinking, while Hu Jia ran out of the car. Without saying anything, he brought an N95 mask and goggles to Sun Lien, and also handed over two pairs of latex gloves, "Do a good job of protection, and protect yourself before saving people." โ

With the help of several elderly American experts, the white officer, who fell to his knees and wailed, was carried onto a stretcher and sent to a quarantine camp within the camp. Sun Lien and Hu Jia, as well as Hu Chunbo, who was a little frightened, also met with the captain of the American medical team who led the team under the leadership of Liu Tangchun.
The head of the U.S. medical team is a very wealthy black woman. If it weren't for the strong American flavor of the other party's tongue when he spoke, just looking at the violent natural volume of the other party's head, and the dressing style full of local style, Sun Lien would really treat her as a local.
We met again. The black woman showed a tired smile at Liu Tangchun, "I thought you would leave directly." โ
"Dr. Ivera Morrison, I said a long time ago that the biggest problem with you is that you don't want to say it directly - you asked Mattheison to send that text message, right?" Liu Tangchun shook hands with the other party, "Let me introduce, this is Sun Lien, my student, who has a wealth of experience in dealing with infectious diseases." This is Hu Chunbo, a neurologist and an authority on acute meningitis. This is Hu Jia, and you can consider her the most experienced nurse in the whole of Polythanvia. Liu Tangchun gave each of the three people he brought a high hat to wear. "I've informed the country, and the country has instructed us to do everything we can to provide you with humanitarian assistance, so I'm here with these experts. โ
"Thank you for your generosity, Dr. Liu. We need help really much right now, any help. Iweala sighed, "Mathiessen...... It's dead, it's me who sent you a message on his marsat phone. โ
"What?!" it was Liu Tangchun's turn to be shocked, "When is it? This can't be......, right? Isn't he an infectious disease expert?"
"He was the first to get sick and die, just after he spoke to you two days ago and agreed to your arrival at the camp. Iweala's expression was a little sad, "After his death, this kind of ...... suddenly began to prevail in the camp Unknown virulent infectious disease. Within two days, along with the doctors in the camp and the soldiers in charge of security...... If you count Captain Andrew, who has just become ill, there are a total of twenty-seven people in the camp. Thereinto...... Nineteen people died. No one can live past 48 hours......" She looked at Liu Tangchun with some sadness, and Sun Lien and Hu Haibo, who were standing behind him and speechless in shock, shook their heads, "We still don't know what the transmission route is, it's too dangerous here, you shouldn't come." โ
