Several people greeted each other and sat down. Xie Xianqing looked around and leaned close to Song Zhiyu's ear and whispered, "It seems that this meeting is not simple. These army commanders are not so easy to call. They are all gathered today. Is there something big going on? There hasn't been any news recently."

Song Zhiyu shook his head slightly. In fact, he already had some guesses in his mind, but they had not been confirmed. While the few people were talking, another group of people walked in.

"chief of staff."

The man had a dignified face and an upright posture. When he saw the people present, he nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

"I called you all here today because I have something very confidential to tell you."

Several pictures appeared on the screen of the conference room, two of which were of a room similar to a laboratory, with an operating table, surgical supplies, glass bottles, and the most eye-catching thing was a whole pool of blood and human organs soaked in formalin. There were also several pictures of several people lying on the beds with their eyes closed, men, women and even children.

"This!" The others frowned as they looked at the photos. They could sense that this matter was probably not simple. Song Zhiyu and Xie Xianqing also looked at each other. The people in the photos had already started to develop abscesses on their faces.

The chief of staff looked at the people present seriously, his mouth straightened, his eyes sank, and he said, "I asked Zhiyu and Xianqing to go to Yuncheng some time ago, and it was not for no reason. Look at these photos, these are the photos taken by our army when we rescued prisoners in Country M last month. As you can see, this is only a small part of it. There are many such laboratories in the basement of that building, and the number of such patients has exceeded one hundred according to statistics. We have already contacted the local government, and these people have received temporary treatment, but the news came the day before yesterday that the death toll is rising sharply, and the reason is that the body's organs are rapidly failing, and neither targeted drugs nor emergency drugs have any effect."

Having said this, everyone turned to look at Song Zhiyu and Xie Xianqing standing aside.

The two of them were also looking through the patient medical records sent from Country H and the treatment records during this period.

Looking at the information in his hand, even Song Zhiyu pursed his lips. The symptoms of all the patients listed here were basically the same: weak hands and feet, abscesses, fever, fever subsided, fever again and again, and finally coma and organ failure.

"Old Song..." Xie Xianqing's face was serious. These symptoms were very familiar to him, or they had encountered them before.

Song Zhiyu closed the medical record, looked at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "So far, the symptoms are the same."

There was no need to say more. Both of them knew what the other was thinking. If they were just suspicious at first, then when they saw the medical records, Song Zhiyu could basically confirm that the patient in Yuncheng Hospital had the same cause and condition. The day before he came to Beicheng, the patient's fever had just subsided.

After Song Zhiyu briefly described the situation of the patient in Yuncheng, everyone fell silent. If they were just assisting in the investigation before, now they were worried. The same unknown disease had appeared in the country. Although there was only one case, there was no guarantee that there would be a second, third, or even tenth case in some unknown corner.

"Zhiyu, you and Xianqing should continue to keep an eye on the patient in Yuncheng. Also, Commander Qi, send more people to strengthen the investigation in the border areas. Don't mobilize too many troops to prevent people from panicking. I will secretly travel to various provinces and regions in the next few days. This matter should not be made public, but we still need to be careful and vigilant."

"Chief of Staff." Song Zhiyu's voice was not loud, but everyone could still hear it clearly. Everyone looked at him in unison. His eyes were slightly lowered, his nose was high, and his lips were very light. Every contour line seemed gentle but contained a sharp chill, making him look even more noble and indifferent.

"I want to go to Country H and verify in person whether these cases overlap with the patient in Yuncheng."

"Old Song!" Xie Xianqing was a little anxious. Country H had been plagued by internal and external troubles in the past few years. Civil unrest had broken out in some areas. Guns and cannons were not sharp and could cause accidental injuries at any time. Moreover, the disease had not been identified yet. If it was a contagious disease, problems could easily arise if one was not careful.

The chief of staff remained silent. How could he not know what Song Zhiyu meant? As the only military doctor who had detailed contact with the patient in Yuncheng, Song Zhiyu was undoubtedly the best candidate in terms of medical skills, judgment, and sensitivity in the entire military hospital. However, it was precisely because he was the best that it was difficult to make a decision. Any accident would be a huge loss.

"Chief of Staff, you should know that I am the best candidate. Only by finding out the specific cause of the disease can we prescribe the right medicine and all things can have the next step. Otherwise, we will be like a headless fly." Song Zhiyu's face was calm, but every word he said was firm and powerful, which made people have to believe him.

Song Zhiyu is aware of the dangers of this trip to Country H, but if he retreats like this, then what is the point of choosing the profession of doctor?

"Believe me, I can! I will come back safely with a detailed pathology analysis."

Everyone present fell silent, as if they had not expected Song Zhiyu to be so determined. It was an unsafe country with frequent wars, and everything was unknown. If something unexpected happened, even the bodies might not be able to return to the motherland.

After a long while, the chief of staff finally sighed and said, "Okay, but you only have two weeks. This is not the time I gave you. We have received news that Country H will conduct an internal purge in half a month. By then, the entire country will be unsafe. Song Zhiyu, you must come back within two weeks. No matter what the result is, you must come back safely!"

Because the computer slides were on, the curtains and doors were closed, and only a few incandescent lamps were on in the conference room. Everyone looked at Song Zhiyu beside them. Under the cold light of the incandescent lamps, he sat upright on the chair, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face: "Don't worry, I will complete the task and return safely."

Xie Xianqing could no longer sit still, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go too! I'm also a chief physician. Although my ability is not as good as Old Song's, one more person means more strength. I've also been in contact with the patient in Yuncheng. Chief of Staff, I apply to go to Country H with Doctor Song!"

"No." Song Zhiyu retorted, "You need to stay in Yuncheng and keep an eye on the patient. Save his life. His life is very important. If something happens to him, it will be useless even if I get a detailed pathological analysis."

"Zhiyu is right. Xianqing, you need to look after the patient in Yuncheng. We need people on both sides. I can't do without either of you two. It can only be you. I only trust you."
