The Aphra virus

Ling Xuan looked at Xiao Yi's flickering eyes and could not help but laugh. He leaned into Xiao Yi's ear with a smile on his face, but he said coldly, "How about that gift? Xiao Yi? You must have received it, haven't you? How do you feel? Are you surprised?"

"It's really you who are playing tricks behind!" Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Haha, of course it's me. Otherwise, who would be thinking about you all the time? Xiao Yi, you dare to rob my woman. You will pay a heavy price for this." After finishing his words, Ling Xuan laughed and let go of Xiao Yi's hand. Then, he turned around and strode away.

Those who didn't know the story would think that they were reminiscing about the old days.

Of course, Ling Xuan's words just now could not escape Mu Qingwan's ears. At the same time, when she was worried about him, Ling Xuan's words, "How dare you rob my woman", made Mu Qingwan's heart beat hard and sink instantly.

Xiao Yi did not take Ling Xuan seriously. Although Ling Xuan was aggressive and had great support from someone, he was just an ordinary person in front of Xiao Yi after all. As a cultivator, Xiao Yi would not put him in his eyes.

At this time, it was too late. Yuan Mingyi, from the Public Health Bureau of Baise City, asked for Xiao Yi and others to rest first. They would enter the disease area together tomorrow.

Late at night, the shadow of the towering mountain covered the valley. A solemn atmosphere spread in the camp. Whether it was the Union of Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine on Ling Xuan's side or the expert team on Xiao Yi's side, they also sat around the fire in twos and threes and started today's dinner.

The simple dinner was beyond everyone's expectation. Each person only had two packs of instant noodles and one bottle of mineral water, which made the faces of several doctors who just arrived with Xiao Yi turn green. However, at this moment, it was not good to complain, so they had to bite it.

Xiao Yi and Mu Qingwan were used to cultivation, so they didn't care about it. They sat side by side around the fire and ate noodles silently. They didn't talk too much, and they didn't feel embarrassed because of the cold atmosphere, as if they should be like this. Instead, they felt calm and peaceful.

The female reporter named Gu Yuwei had been very enthusiastic about Mu Qingwan since Mu Qingwan cured her nauseous head with powder. At this moment, she skipped sitting beside her and Xiao Yi. She also enthusiastically took out a large bag of beef jerky and stewed chicken wings and handed them to Xiao Yi and Mu Qingwan.

"Thank you, I'm full." Xiao Yi got up and threw the empty bowl into the garbage bag and went straight into his tent.

Gu Yuwei stuck out her tongue and whispered to Mu Qingwan, "Mr. Xiao is so serious."

"Well, did he?" Mu Qingwan glanced at Xiao Yi's back and smiled.

"Of course, Miss Mu, don't you think so?" Gu Yuwei tilted her head and asked.

"I don't think so." Mu Qingwan said with a smile.

"Are you a couple?" Gu Yuwei suddenly asked out of curiosity.

This made Mu Qingwan suddenly stunned. After a moment of hesitation, Mu Qingwan shook its head and said, "Of course not."

"Really? But I think you have a tacit understanding, just like a couple who have lived together for many years," Gu Yuwei said while chewing a piece of beef jerky.

Mu Qingwan did not answer her. She continued to have noodles. However, there were waves in her heart. "It turns out that the feeling of a couple is not my illusion. Even a little girl whom I just met can see it. However, will Xiao Yi feel this way?"

Thinking of this, Mu Qingwan's heart beat fast.

"However, to be honest, a man like Mr. Xiao is really attractive. At first glance, there is nothing special. The more you contact him, the more you think he is different. He is mysterious, mature, wise, generous, and responsible. Hehe, this should be the perfect image of a man in all the girls' hearts, right? What do you think, Miss Mu? By the way, Miss Mu, does he have a girlfriend?" Gu Yuwei asked with a smile.

"No, I don't know." Mu Qingwan replied in a dull voice. Thinking of Ling Xuan's hateful words, Mu Qingwan's restless mind cooled down instantly. "Yes, he is so excellent. How can there be no woman around him? Maybe I am just a poor woman who needs help in his heart."

Mu Qingwan frowned slightly, and gradually felt that the taste of the noodles in its mouth was like chewing wax. After quietly cleaning up the tableware, it returned to its own tent. However, this night, it was sleepless.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not know what Mu Qingwan was thinking. At this moment, Xiao Yi was sitting in the tent, reading some internal information about Chunshui Town provided by the local health bureau.

This time, the break-up of the Aphra virus was very sudden. No one knew the source of the virus. So far, there was no way to ease the disease. The death rate was really 100%.

There were many patients' photos in the file, and Xiao Yi looked through them one by one.

Although he often came into contact with all kinds of plague in his previous life, and this time he had been psychologically prepared for the plague of Chunshui Town, when the pictures of the patients and the dead appeared in front of Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi was still deeply shocked.

The patient in the photo was infected with the Aphra virus at first. Just like they got a cold, they had a fever and ran at the nose. Two days later, the corners of the mouth, nose, eyes, ear hole, and even the front and back apertures began to bleed gradually. Three days later, there was obviously a shell of blood on the surface of the body. Five days later, died.

Moreover, from the autopsy photo of the patient, it seemed that the inside of each corpse was simply like being thrown away by a bomb. It had been corroded by virus and melted into a mass of paste. It was the same for other animals.

"Phew." Xiao Yi took a deep breath. The bloody photo made Xiao Yi feel extremely heavy in his heart. He understood. No wonder the Aphra virus could be called "the invitation of death" by the medical area. Such a miserable disease was the first one Xiao Yi had seen.

At this moment, Xiao Yi was desperately hoping that there was a patient who could let him feel the pulse and find out the truth about the virus.

However, it was clearly written in the material that even if it was a handshake, it was highly likely to be infected. Xiao Yi had to suppress his strong impulse and wait for tomorrow to follow the order of the officials.

The bonfire in the camp was gradually extinguished, and everyone returned to their tents.

One night passed quickly.

As soon as the sun was shining, Xiao Yi got up and came to the outside of the tent. Looking in the direction of Chunshui Town, the town was dead silent. There was even no ordinary chicken or dog singing. Under the gray sky, there was a deep deadly atmosphere. Occasionally, there were soldiers shouting to the town through the loudspeaker and the rumble of the military truck. This only intensified this horrible atmosphere.

All the doctors outside the town, including the Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine union led by Ling Xuan, had put on the protective clothing specially assigned by the health bureau according to the regulations. With tight protection, they set off to the town.

After passing through layers of the periphery of the town, they finally entered the town enveloped by death.

There was no one on the street. People could occasionally see the horrified and desperate faces in the house through the window. There were many people hanging white spirit banners at the door of the house. It's for their members who just passed away. A breath like the ghost of hell instantly hit everyone's heart.

The crowd sighed and walked all the way to the Central Hospital, where all the patients were treated.

As soon as they entered the door, they heard a heartbreaking cry.

A few doctors in the same white coats shook their heads and walked out of a ward with resignation on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Mingyi, a member of the Baise City Public Health Bureau, came forward and asked in a hurry.

"Another one has died, and all his family members have been infected. Alas, it's too miserable." The doctors sighed.

"Alas." Yuan Mingyi couldn't help sighing and turned to introduce them to the local doctors. "Last night, the expert panel of the Tianli Province arrived. Please introduce the specific situation of the patients to the experts."

"Then please come with us to the ward and have a look." The local doctors did not treat Xiao Yi and other experts too enthusiastically.

After dealing with this extremely vicious Aphra virus for a few days, the local doctors' hearts were already cold. They had long believed that unless miracles appeared, the situation could not be reversed. Otherwise, Chunshui Town would be completely annihilated sooner or later.

Everyone quietly entered a nearby ward.

There were a total of eight beds in the ward. At this moment, the room was full of people. The patients in this ward were all on the third day of their illness. They were covered with blisters as big as beans and were covered with blood. Some patients had already fallen into a serious coma. Their situation was really terrible.

"Oh my god!" Mu Qingwan and Gu Yuwei, the two women, glanced at each other and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The other western doctors, especially the members of the expert panel in Tiandong Province, were even more frightened. At this moment, they had already lost the mentality that a normal doctor should have. Instead, they were instantly surrounded by fear. Everyone's hearts were filled with the same voice. What should they do if they accidentally fell ill?

If they had known that the situation was like this, they would rather give up their promotion than come to this horrible living hell.

"That's the case. At present, there are 66 patients in the hospital, but someone dies every day. If it goes on like this, who knows how many people left? Alas..." The local doctors let out a long sigh.

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly seemed to be frozen.

In the solemn atmosphere, Xiao Yi slowly walked to a patient's bed and put his hand on the patient's wrist.
