From Arms Dealer To King of War

  Chapter 955 A little bit better

  Qiao Liang spent more than 20 years in Xinsheng Town, the most torturous and busiest 20 days...

   People die every day, and new supplies arrive every day.

  Qiao Liang was not used to it at first. Not only would he have nightmares at night, but whenever he saw sick children dying in despair, he would feel very uncomfortable. Occasionally, he would find a place by the river to cry aloud late at night.

   It's not that Qiao Liang is not strong enough, but the 'feeling of powerlessness' will make him collapse from time to time.

  He tried his best, but things didn't go the way he expected.

  The early 379 patients died within 20 days of nearly 150, and most of them were children and women.

  Following up, more than 30 people were infected one after another...

  The death rate of more than 40% gave Qiao Liang an extremely deep understanding of the Marburg virus.

  The so-called 10-20% mortality rate is a lie. When most of the people infected with the virus are malnourished women and children, this rate will double.

  The confusion and incomprehension in the eyes of those children before they died became a lingering image in Qiao Liang's mind.

   At this time, Qiao Liang began to understand that most viruses in this world are actually 'incurable diseases'.

  Because there is no drug that can eliminate the virus in the human body, with the development of society, people improve their ability to take care of patients...

  You are not breathing well, so I will give you drugs to dilate the airways.

  If you have a fever, I will reduce your fever.

  You are bleeding, and I will give you medicine to stop the bleeding.

   Facing the Marburg virus, after doing all of these, the rest is left to fate!

  Qiao Liang has always been unable to accept that kind of 'powerless death', because his parents died of 'powerless'.

  In order to avoid thinking about it, Qiao Liang chose to work, working non-stop...

   Qiao Liang, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs close to 200, lost almost 30 catties in 20 days.

  But the results of his work are very gratifying!

  The two brothers of the Qiao family seem to have a talent for managing people in their bones, but Boss Qiao is the kind of leader who goes deep into it and practices it personally, while Qiao Liang is the scientific management of intellectuals.

  With the old monster 'crocodile' and a group of anteaters, those poor people behaved very obediently, and as they gradually tasted the sweetness of being obedient, they began to cooperate more and more.

  In Xinsheng Town, there were only a few thatched huts at the beginning, and it took only 20 days to build a ward.

  Use wood to build the base, and then send the giant infrastructure to the modular simple house to build on it. Generally, a house can be built by 5 people in one day.

  And those poor people could only sleep on the ground from the beginning, and then slowly owned tents. When the medical area was basically completed, they began to dismantle the tents and started to build houses for themselves with great enthusiasm.

  The development of the whole town is like the fast-forward button has been pressed, there will be some changes every day, and there will be more things in the town every day.

  Most of the people here have never owned a house of their own in this life!

  They didn't expect that after being absorbed by Jialiang Shipyard, they would not only get a salary, but also have a house.

   Houses made of prefabricated panels are not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but for these poor people, these clean and bright houses are something they never dared to think about in the past.

  Compared to the nervousness of those foreign volunteers about the virus, the mentality of these poor people is much better.

  Compared to menacing viruses, poverty and hunger also kill people every day.

  In the hearts of these people, there is also a feeling of powerlessness, and poverty and hunger are more profound and lingering.

  Because of the virus, you can still rely on your body to resist it. Poverty and hunger, you really have nothing to do!

  TC came out of the ward late at night, took off his protective clothing, and after triple disinfection, walked to the river bank with a depressed expression.

   Saw a house on the river bank with lights on, TC walked over to it...

  He didn't knock on the door either. When he pushed the door open, he saw Qiao Liang working. There was a strong aroma of coffee in the room.

TC unceremoniously walked around the coffee pot, poured himself a cup of black coffee, took a sip and said to Qiao Liang, "I suggest you take a break, and dragging yourself down won't help much with the town's problems. .”

  Joga put down the pen in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at TC, and said, "Don't talk about me, what about you? Why have you been here until now?"

  TC's face darkened for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said: "Yali is dead, she is only 4 years old...

   Before she died she asked me, 'What is death? '

  I don't know how to answer..."

   As he spoke, TC rubbed his face with his hand, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this **** world?"

  Qiao Liang held the cold coffee cup in both hands, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and said softly: "I used to think that I was suffering enough, but now I find that this world is really deeply desperate...

   TC, a kid asked me yesterday why those patients were dying...

   Then I began to understand why my brother was so irritable sometimes.

  Old, I am old, and the old of people!

  Young, my young, and the young of people!

  Civilization should be reflected in the protection of vulnerable groups, but many people fail to do so..."

   As Qiao Liang looked at the puzzled TC, he shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't understand..."

  TC has a cowboy temperament, he rubbed his face vigorously to drive away the sadness on his face, then grinned and said: "I really don't understand what you are talking about, but I understand the anger in your brother.

  Liang, you didn’t see what Sangha Town looked like in the early days, that’s the real purgatory.

  Your brother pierced the haze of despair with anger and let hope shine into that place, so he is so respected.

  It's a pity that this **** world is not fair, sometimes no matter how hard we try, we can't do anything about the result. "

As he said that, TC took out a syringe and a tube of medicine from his pocket, walked to Qiao Liang, and said, "This is immunoglobulin, you need the help of this thing, otherwise you will have to wait for the new town to be established. broke down.

   This is not your responsibility at all, you try your best, and leave the rest to God. "

Qiao Liang rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders indifferently, watched TC inject the immune protein into his body, and said with a smile: "There is a word in our Hua country called 'let the flow be', and my understanding of this word is to try your best. But for the sake of not forcing it later.

  I still have some energy, so I want to try, even if one less person dies, it would be good.

  In the past, I have always been puzzled by the 'change' that the Dragon Lizard talked about, but now I understand...

   What the dragon lizard wants is 'a little bit better', really just a little bit is enough!

  I didn't realize until now...

   Every extra life is a little bit better!

  Patient suffers less pain is better!

  Every smile on the faces of those poor people makes them feel better!

  I can do it, I should do it, even if the result is insignificant to this world, it doesn't matter. "

  TC heard it, and said in surprise: "After hearing what you said, I feel like I don't deserve to sleep.

   Dude, know why so many people like your girlfriend? "

   As TC looked at Qiao Liang's weird expression, he waved his hand and said, "The 'like' I said is pure liking, even that innocuous guy named Long Li is no exception.

  Your girlfriend has a sunshine-like silliness, as if everything is good in her eyes, and it is worth the enthusiasm.

  Dude, don’t act like you’re bitter and bitter, you should learn from your girlfriend and do what you’re willing to do instead of turning everything into your own responsibility.

  Our abilities are limited, don't let responsibilities take up too much of our lives, we must first be responsible for what loves us. "

  Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Tong Tong for two days...

   "Qiao Liang..."

   Just when Qiao Liang felt a little annoyed, a cry came from the river...

  Qiao Liang thought that he had auditory hallucinations due to excessive fatigue, he clasped his ears and said, "I seem to hear someone calling me..."

  TC went to the door and stretched his head for a look, then said with a smile: "You better come and see, your girlfriend is really amazing..."

   Qiaojia ran to the door in amazement, and then saw Tong Tong standing on the deck of a quick response ship, screaming loudly at himself...

  The most surprising thing is that a series of cement ships are towed behind the quick response ship, and the containers transformed into houses are neatly arranged on the ship.

   Qiao Liang looked at Tong Tong who had obviously lost a lot of weight, his eyes suddenly blurred...

   This girl knew that she had been worrying about the speed of the town's construction, so she came up with this method.

  When I am busy, someone is thinking about me wholeheartedly, that feeling is hard to describe.

  TC glanced at Qiao Liang, let him push **** Qiao Liang's shoulder, and said, "Dude, you are a lucky guy, hurry over...

  First of all, don't let the person who loves you down!

   Your brother is much better than you at this point, but you can do it too! "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and then ran to the river to say hello, 'Crocodile' came out from the side like a ghost, and took Qiao Liang on a speedboat, slowly Beside the quick response ship...

   After boarding the boat, Qiao Liang found that Mama Yang was standing on the rear deck and looking at him with a smile. He froze for a moment, walked over and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

  Dr. Yang touched Qiao Liang's sunken cheek with a bit of distress, then shook his head and said, "Today is your birthday!

  Tong Tong has been urging the construction period of the container, and finally caught up. "

"ah?"

  Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a few people coming out of the cabin...

  Kino pushed a dining car with cakes on it, and Adele happily ran around the deck holding a handful of lit fireworks...

  Tong Tong wears a pointed hat on his head, holds a mobile phone in his hand, stamps his feet anxiously and looks at the time...

   When twelve o'clock came, the girl screamed and rushed over, jumped up from a long distance and fell into Qiao Liang's arms...

  Qiao Liang snorted and was crushed to the ground...

   Tong Tong rode on Qiao Liang's chest and shouted happily, "Happy birthday!"

   After speaking, the girl grabbed Qiao Liang's face, frowned and said, "Why did you secretly lose weight?

   Is there any secret recipe? Tell me now, or I'll..."

   Qiao Liang looked into Tong Tong's eyes, sat up and hugged her in his arms, hugged her hard, and said, "Tong Tong, let's get married!"

  Jinuo, who was holding a video camera at the side, heard Qiao Liang's marriage proposal. He let out a weird cry and shouted, "Promise him, promise him, promise him..."

  Tong Tong covered his fat face, struggled for a while and said: "It's not romantic!

  How about I secretly promise you first, but you have to ask again later? "

  Qiao Liang looked at the uncontrollable joy in Tong Tong's eyes, and he laughed boldly and said, "We will get the certificate when we go back this time. You are my wife, and I can ask for it ten more times!"

Standing not far away, Qiaojia watched his younger brother complete an extremely hasty marriage proposal. He smiled and hurriedly made a flawless gold ring, walked over and stuffed it into Qiao Liang's hand, and said, "There is no ring for the proposal. How?"
