Chapter 1299 The most inexplicable disease
The little girl suddenly had a trace of sadness in her eyes and she choked up and said, "Why didn't you come here earlier? If you came here earlier, your parents wouldn't have died."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished the translation, Ji Xiangjun suddenly felt aching in her heart. She finally understood why the little girl cared about her younger brother so much. It turned out that her parents had already died of the tower virus, and her younger brother was her only relative.
Su Tao looked heavy and asked, "How many people are not sick?"
The little girl said: "There are dozens of people who are not sick in the village. They want to take care of the patients. The rest of us are responsible for finding food. Although there are trucks to deliver supplies to the village regularly, the number is too small and the number is getting fewer. Therefore, at other times we will stop some passers-by on the road to see if we can get food."
Su Tao sighed and realized that although the government has maintained continuous assistance to Tali Village in name, it has actually given up on this village and maintained a self-destructive attitude. As for the so-called vehicles that transport materials, it is just a formality.
Su Tao called out a accompanying officer and asked in a serious tone: "Has the convoy escorting supplies not arrived in Tali Village for several days?"
The officer showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "This is an order issued by his superiors. A soldier escorting supplies showed symptoms of high fever during the return journey..."
"So you decided to terminate all aid?" Su Tao said angrily, "No matter when and where, we cannot give up on them, that are living lives."
The officer smiled bitterly, "If it is not controlled, it will only cause more casualties. Talijik was originally very chaotic, and if it is used by someone with a heart, it will cause great panic."
Su Tao knew that it had nothing to do with the officer in front of him. It must be the decision made by the Talijik government officials. Since they could not save the patients in Tali Village, it would be better to let them all die and then deal with it. This method is completely inhumane.
Su Tao underestimated the difficulty of participating in Tali Village this time. He originally thought he would receive support from the government, but now it is very likely to become a situation of fighting alone. If he cannot control the epidemic, he may be abandoned by Talijik.
However, it has reached this point and cannot retreat any more.
Xie Jiaojiao asked softly: "Do you still want to move forward?"
"Of course, there is a group of people waiting for us to treat." Su Tao said unswervingly.
The convoy continued to drive forward and finally arrived at Tali Village. Judging from the infrastructure of Tali Village, it was actually not as backward as expected, and it was far more modern than Qishanling Village. Before the outbreak, Tali Village should be a paradise with comfortable life. The roads are spacious, and there are shops, hotels and supermarkets.
However, everything was changed by a sudden outbreak of the epidemic. The road was deserted and there were no pedestrians. The glass walls of the supermarket were smashed, the goods on the shelves were emptied, and the shelves fell to the ground in a row.
The traces of arson can be seen from time to time on the roadside, facing the threat of death, and the sins of human nature are also exposed.
The convoy parked in the square where supplies were often distributed, and medical assistance set up temporary tents and began to make Siqi Tang, which enhances resistance.
Su Tao asked Liao Huashi to preside over the treatment preparations, and took Ji Xiangjun and Xie Jiaojiao to the home of the village chief of Tali Village according to the address.
After ringing the doorbell, a middle-aged woman opened the door, looked at the visitor suspiciously, and said hoarsely: "What's wrong?"
Xie Jiaojiao explained: "I am a medical aid team from China, and I came specifically to solve the epidemic."
A light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she coughed violently for a while, saying, "Are you here to find my husband Haynes? Our family is sick. He is now in a serious condition and has no strength to speak."
Following the woman to a small bedroom on the second floor, it was full of decay, which made people feel nauseous. Xie Jiaojiao looked at the old man on the bed and looked pale because the skin exposed to the air of the village chief Haynes had already festered. As a professional doctor, she had seen death, but although Haynes was not dead, his current appearance was really terrifying, just like a zombie in a heavy-tasting Western horror movie.
Relatively speaking, Ji Xiangjun is better because she has been mentally prepared for a long time and does not want to be too weak in front of Su Tao, so as not to be criticized by Su Tao.
Su Tao and Xie Jiaojiao said, "You all go out, I'll treat him alone."
A look of surprise flashed in Xie Jiaojiao's eyes and she whispered: "Expert Su, he is so ill, and his contagiousness is also very strong. You are the core soul of the medical aid team. If you are infected, then..."
Su Tao waved his hand easily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am a doctor, not an ignorant reckless man. I know what diseases can be cured and what diseases cannot be cured. The village chief's condition seems to be very serious, but it is not that there is no chance of treatment at all. Now, due to the epidemic in Tali Village, people are panic, and many people have lost the desire to survive. If you want to overcome the epidemic, you must first let the patients regain the hope of survival."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded and said, "But this is really too dangerous. The village chief's wife has been infected because of taking care of him. If you treat him, the probability of being infected is too high."
Su Tao waved his hand. Although Xie Jiaojiao's words were full of pessimism, Su Tao could feel that Xie Jiaojiao's relationship with her was heartfelt, "Wait for a moment outside, I will create a miracle again."
Xie Jiaojiao was silent for a moment. This time she volunteered to enter the epidemic area as an interpreter and the medical aid team. It was because she witnessed with her own eyes how Su Tao cured Najia, who was on the verge of death. Xie Jiaojiao's courage, on the one hand, convinced her because of Su Tao's medical skills, and on the other hand, she also knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If the disaster relief operation is completed successfully, Xie Jiaojiao will definitely receive the award.
When Xie Jiaojiao and Ji Xiangjun left the room, Su Tao came to Haines, first took a vein for him, and then observed his physical condition. Although he had known the symptoms of the tower virus from the information provided by the military, this close observation gave a deeper understanding of the virus.
The Tari virus has a very high similarity to the terrifying Ebola virus, which is more contagious and has a higher mortality rate than the Ebola virus.
Haines's symptoms have reached its end, and antiviral drugs have no effect on him. His life fire is very fragile and may be extinguished at any time.
Su Tao showed a solemn look, and he took a deep breath. This was definitely one of the most unsolvable diseases he had encountered so far.
