Chapter 1462 Epidemic
To be honest, he also admired these four people. At least in terms of sense of responsibility and courage, the Silver Eagle people were much better than the Monya people.
The mouthpiece media of the Mongolian Empire always attribute the problem to cultural differences when talking about the quality gap between the people of Mongolia and those of other countries. However, the Silver Eagle Group and the Phoenix Empire, as two countries with the same origin and different paths, are the sharpest irony of this answer.
Do different cultures produce people with different qualities? That's just an excuse used by the nobles to blame themselves.
The fact is that this gap comes entirely from the needs of the ruler or interest class, just as some families have gentle dogs, while others have very vicious dogs. The words are rough, but the reasoning is not rough.
"You people... are so cute." This is the first time Kudelia praised others, instead of being mean, for example, they are overconfident, for example, they are too idealistic.
Tang Lin was a little surprised by her performance.
Tang Fang was also very surprised, but he was more concerned about what happened after Rojas, Wald and others entered the Monya Empire: "Where did Delmar and Juventus go? And... Brady Star's official notice said that you were involved And what about killing two patrolmen?"
"Delma and Juventus..." Walter rushed to say: "We separated after we entered the Munya Empire. Delmar and Juventus went to Celtic, the capital star system. Royas is most concerned about economic backwardness." Regarding the people's livelihood in the area, I thought it would be unsafe for him to come here alone, so I chose to go with him. As for the things mentioned in the official announcement of Star Brady...Let's talk about Royas."
Tang Fang was very speechless, secretly thinking that what Walter said above was just to make his presence felt in front of him... There is not much important information, it is better to let Rojas tell it directly.
The person involved didn't have that much thought. After saying these words, he looked at his companion on the left with an expectant expression.
Royas coughed lightly, and told in a relatively calm tone what happened to them after they came to Planet Brady.
...
It turned out that the two stopped in the Jiangbei District of Bogda City not long after they arrived here. It was not that they were kidnapped by Pino Ebar and the gunmen just now, but that Rojas had an occupational disease...or it could be said that they were warm-hearted. Sincerely.
The civilians in Jiangbei District of Bogda City are not only plagued by poverty and hunger, but also tortured by diseases.
Winter ends and spring comes, vegetation sprouts, everything recovers, and even infectious diseases enter a period of high incidence. Especially in areas with backward conditions like Jiangbei District, affected by the living environment, the transmission of the virus cannot be effectively curbed, resulting in the fact of regional infection.
People who contracted this disease thought it was just influenza caused by the alternation of seasons, and did not pay much attention until the medicines they used in the past lost their effect and some people died of influenza.
Of course, death due to influenza is not a rare phenomenon in Jiangbei District. Some people die every year, but this kind of situation mostly occurs in chronically ill and elderly people, and rarely occurs in young people. .
This year is different. With the increase of young and middle-aged people who died of illness, it gradually turned into a whirlpool of death, fermenting in Jiangbei District.
The deadly flu is difficult to cure, but fortunately, the speed of transmission is not particularly fast. Even if it has been more than a month since the death of the first patient, it has only spread in less than 30% of Jiangbei District, and has not spread to the entire Bogda City. Therefore, the official medical organization knew that there was an outbreak of a deadly infectious disease in Jiangbei District and did not pay much attention to it. They just sent a few medical workers to help treat it.
There is an old saying that the heart of a doctor is parents... However, when social morality is corrupted by money and power, intellectuals become selfish egoists, doctors... Many times they are not worthy of the name of parents, they only look at the money in your pocket How much money, or whether there is power, is not celebrity with acquaintances.
The patients in Jiangbei District are all ordinary people who even doctors look down on. They have no money in their pockets and no power in their hands. They lack the right to speak in this country, so they cannot bring prestige and reputation to the doctors.
What's more, the doctors appointed by the government are all unscrupulous and quack doctors who have no real ability and are just waiting to die in their posts. They can't find effective countermeasures against the stubborn influenza virus.
The greatest achievement they made after they came to Jiangbei District was to isolate those patients, then take tissue samples from the sick subjects, and send them to the Brady Star Center for Disease Control and Prevention to determine the parameters of the flu virus. Find effective countermeasures.
As for the treatment of patients... The medicines that the people in Jiangbei District can afford can't cure the disease at all, and they can't even delay it. Only a small amount of expensive medicines brought by doctors can achieve the effect of maintaining the disease from worsening.
Under such circumstances, will the local government invest a large amount of expensive drugs imported from other star systems in Jiangbei District? The answer is obviously no, because before the Brady Star CDC's research work on the virus has no results, the patients in Jiangbei District are like a bottomless pit, which will swallow a lot of wealth.
For those aristocrats who hold the power of the planet, the government's money is not the money of the people, and of course it is impossible to spend a lot on those backward, barbaric, and dirty poor.
The epidemic in Jiangbei District was suppressed in this way. The higher authorities did not send more doctors over, but only injected a batch of cheap drugs to control the spread of the disease and limit it within a certain range.
At the same time, the local government has set up a large number of checkpoints and sentries on the roads surrounding Jiangbei District, and police drones are patrolling the surrounding area 24 hours a day... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not at all to maintain law and order in Jiangbei District , but in order to quickly seal off the entire area when the epidemic suddenly worsens, so that the tide of death spreads in a sealed tank instead of spreading under the sky like the wind.
Those civilians who had no money, no power, no name, and no right to speak died. It's like dropping a dead leaf on the water, causing at most one or two ripples. If it was replaced by the high-end population with status, fame, and wealth in the prosperous area of Jiangnan, at least some people in the official circles of Bogda City would be implicated and pay a heavy price.
After listening to Rojas's narration, Tang Fang finally understood why he encountered so many black guards when coming from the north. The real reason was not what he thought. The traffic policemen were all focused on making money, but they actually existed to stabilize the situation.
Just like the conflict between him and Pino Ebar and others just now, the police drone came very quickly, which did not conform to the impression that the Monya police were late in everything in his mind. Comparing their whereabouts, I am afraid that a large number of police forces are stationed in the north of the Ryder River.
Now the epidemic is controlled in a certain area, and the transmission speed is relatively slow, which is still within an acceptable range. Once the virus mutates and the epidemic breaks out, not only will there be police stationed near Jiangbei District, but also a large number of soldiers will welcome the entire area. Completely blocked.
On the way here before, when the detector was scanning the situation in the building, he found someone in the nearby container. He thought it was the person living inside... After all, this is a slum.
Now it seems that things are not as he thought. Those people are all isolated patients, and they are placed in the container to distinguish them from healthy people, and it also means to block the way the virus spreads.
Back to the matter of Roas and Wald... The medical staff sent by the government knew that they could not cure the deadly disease with their own abilities, at most they could only prolong the survival time of the infected, so they no longer put the matter of treating the patients on the back burner. In my heart, I lived a life of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. After all, it is a disease that even the highest medical institutions in Brady Star cannot overcome, and they are originally a group of people who are waiting to die in some medical institutions. Whether those patients live or die will not affect their income and positions. bring about any change.
It was against this background that Rojas and Wald came to Jiangbei District.
You must know that the former is a hero who was awarded the Silver Eagle Medal by the Silver Eagle Group. It can also be seen from the previous conversations between the four people that they all have a kind heart, integrity and loyalty, and of course it is impossible to ignore the tragic scene in front of them.
Royas told Pino Ebar and others that he was a doctor and chose to help those patients unconditionally.
He is just a doctor, powerless in the face of a deadly virus with strong drug resistance. The so-called clever woman can't cook without rice, and the lack of medicines and medical equipment also prevents him from doing anything.
Because I can't bear the eyes of those patients who are eager to live, and I can't watch the fresh lives wither and wither. He, Wald, Pino Eval and others chose to steal the most effective hormone drugs from the hospital for the rich south of the Ryder River, at least to maintain the lives of patients.
It was during this process that Wald and Royas, who were disguised as doctors, were discovered by the patrolling police officers. When the other party questioned their identities, they were forced to kill the two of them, and then reunited with the skins who were released outside. Nuo Ebar and others fled back to Jiangbei District.
The next thing is for the officials to use the images recorded by the hospital's monitoring equipment to compare the appearance characteristics of the two, and after confirming their identities, they will issue arrest warrants around the world.
"The lethal flu..." After some digestion, Tang Fang figured out what happened to Wald and Royas when they came to Brady Planet. The five fingers of his right hand lightly tapped on the armrest of the sofa, showing a thoughtful expression.
In fact, he has already contacted Miss Emma to inquire about the sudden illness in Jiangbei District.
It should be that the Bogda City Government deliberately concealed the epidemic situation in Jiangbei District. There is no news about the deadly flu on the Brady Star network... No, it should be said that the relevant news was filtered by the Blue Shield system as soon as it appeared, and it was basically impossible to pass through. The Internet channel learned of the disaster here.
"What about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention? Has there been any progress in related research?"
"No... Judging from the data intercepted from the official network of the Bogda City Government, the CDC's research on influenza viruses has not yielded any results."
After hearing what Emma said, Tang Fang stood up and took a few steps towards the door, then suddenly turned around and said, "Take me to see those patients infected with S-R influenza virus."
S-R influenza virus ----- Bogda City Center for Disease Control and Prevention gave the code name for the deadly influenza outbreak in Jiangbei District.
Rojas looked at him with unexpected eyes, but Walter said bluntly: "What? You also have research on influenza viruses?"
At the beginning, Tang Fang defeated Ralph in strength, defeated Delmar in wealth, defeated Juventus in command ability, and surpassed Rojas in morality. Standing here now, looking at the expression on Captain Tang's face, he seemed to have some thoughts about the deadly flu virus infected by the residents of Jiangbei District, which inevitably gave him an indescribable feeling.
Tang Fang didn't speak, Tang Lin said with a smile: "It's more than just research..."
Rojas looked at Tang Lin, then moved his eyes to Tang Fang's face: "S-R influenza virus?"
Tang Fang nodded: "This is the name given to the virus by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of Brady Star."
Rojas was very strange. According to Tang Fang, they had only arrived at Brady Star not long ago, and he didn't know about the epidemic situation in Jiangbei District before he told what happened here, but why did he turn around and say the word "S-R influenza virus"? term, or the name given to it by the Brady Star Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
He didn't ask any doubts in his heart, because the person standing in front of him was Captain Tang who had turned the Hillenbel region upside down. He was not qualified to raise doubts, and the friendship between the two parties was not deep enough to open their hearts... Although He would have liked to have this qualification.
"Come with me..." Rojas got up from the cushion, moved his slightly numb legs, and led the way out of the living room.
"This damn cushion... Pino, he didn't know how to move two chairs into the living room. He's an out-and-out miser, just as we haven't seen him entertain us with good wine and food for a long time since we came here." While complaining, Walter walked out behind Kudelia.
Several people came to the street one after another and found that Pino Ebar was leading people to clean up the collapsed part of the small building opposite.
Hearing the sound of the door behind them, the black man saw that they had come out of the room, and ordered the people next to him to continue sorting out the construction waste, while he walked up quickly.
Rojas told him Tang Fang's intentions, and the black man took a look at the mysterious young man behind him, and led them to the dilapidated container behind despite his hopelessness.
Before I walked into the nearest container, I smelled a smell of disinfectant.
To Tang Fang's surprise, the automatic door was not locked. Pino Ebar politely knocked outside, pressed the open button, and opened the metal box door with mottled skin.
The internal environment is very dark, and only pale patients can be seen lying on the dilapidated beds. It can be seen that they still have enough mobility. Some people can even turn over and sit up, looking at Pino with longing and grateful eyes. Rojas behind him.
However, today's protagonist is not a military doctor, but a young man further behind.
Kudelia asked Wald in a low voice from behind: "Aren't you afraid of contracting the S-R influenza virus when you come in like this?"
Thank God, God bless me, for the reward of the wings of the Fallen Dark Angel.
