At eight o'clock the next day, Lin Chen got up at Shi Xuanxuan's slightly shy urging.

With the beauty in his arms, Lin Chen was really a little lazy and didn't want to think about it. However, considering that the team still had some matters to deal with and a brief meeting, he could only grit his teeth and put on his clothes.

In the garrison, Liu Yi was already waiting for him.

"In the past few days since you left, we have successively taken in three more survivors. The secret surveillance of Uncle Ling and his men as you ordered is also going on, and none of his confidants made any move. Two people tried to provoke them the day before yesterday but failed. After being reported, they fled at night. As for the fully integrated resources and materials of the convoy, there were a total of 208 people, nearly 70 tons of flour, rice, etc., and 190 firearms of various types. Fuel and ammunition are..."

Liu Yi reported everything in detail, giving Lin Chen a rough idea.

Generally speaking, nothing major happened during the days he left, and the supplies are sufficient at present, so there is no need to worry for a while. Although he had a headache with these data, Lin Chen knew that as the captain of the team, he had to be aware of these things. However, as the number of people in the team increased, he felt that it was necessary to consider an internal affairs department responsible for the daily operation of the team in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Have you found out the two people who escaped?"

Liu Yi nodded and said: "It probably has nothing to do with Uncle Ling and the others. Those two people were just dissatisfied with the regulations of our convoy temporarily confiscating the guns and returning them to the garrison for deployment. It's a pity that they ran fast enough and our people couldn't catch up. superior."

"Didn't you catch up?"

Liu Yi looked at Lin Chen and said a little embarrassedly: "It was our dereliction of duty. Not only did we let them escape, we also let them take away a car, 400 rounds of ammunition, and 100 kilograms of food!"

"Be more careful in the future. It's best not to let this happen again."

Although Lin Chen was a little worried, he didn't pay much attention. As long as it wasn't under the instigation of Uncle Ling and a few of his cronies, just two ungrateful people wouldn't cause much trouble. Even if it were revealed that he had supernatural powers, Lin Chen would not be afraid at all with his current strength. Especially in a few days, when his supernatural power breaks through the eighth level of the intermediate level and enters the advanced plant control master, he will be able to completely ignore other human forces!

Liu Yi quickly made a guarantee and said at the same time: "I have reprimanded the personnel from the garrison office who were responsible for the security that night, and deducted their benefits for two days. Those two guys can leave with their things and cars, just like the people from the garrison office Relaxation must have something to do with it! It’s probably because they thought they had just defeated Uncle Ling and there was no threat to the team near Long Qishan!”

"Rewards and punishments must be clear. Who is responsible when punishment is due? You must not be lenient!"

Lin Chen warned sternly, some things are related to the long-term development of the team, so we can't be careless, let alone be merciful!

"I remember!" Liu Yi nodded seriously.

"That's good."

Seeing that Lin Chen seemed to be going out, Liu Yi suddenly thought of something and said, "Lao Fan from the medical team came to see you twice. You were already asleep last night, so I didn't call you. He came to see me again this morning. He said he asked you to go find him after seeing you!"

"Xuanxuan has already told me, it's about the virus vaccine, right? Why, has he made any progress?"

Liu Yi nodded, but then said hesitantly: "It's not just about vaccines, it seems, there are other things... You should ask him, because Lao Fan didn't explain it clearly to me."

"Okay." Lin Chen didn't think much and found Lao Fan directly after coming out of the guard station.

At this moment, Lao Fan probably didn't sleep well at night, and his eyes were a little red. In addition, the doctor from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital was also nearby. The two seemed to be discussing something, but their expressions were not good. Seeing Lin Chen coming over, Lao Fan seemed to have found a backbone, and quickly came up and said: "Captain, you are back!"

"What happened?"

Seeing his expression, Lin Chen suddenly felt something bad: "Isn't it because you came to me because there have been some breakthroughs in the virus vaccine?"

"Originally, it was, but now it's not!" Lao Fan said a little anxiously: "Actually, there isn't much progress. We just discovered a drug that can initially inhibit the virus based on the experimental data. Because there is no professional equipment, the distance is There is still a long way to go before the vaccine is developed. I just came to see you again, mainly about the acute mutated infectious disease in the fleet!"

"What? Where did the infectious disease come from?"

Upon hearing the word "infectious disease", Lin Chen's nerves became tense. In the apocalypse, there is a lack of medical treatment and various conditions are poor. Once a large-scale infectious disease breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"It's true, we confirmed it together!" The middle-aged doctor next to him nodded: "It's a mutated paratyphoid fever! Since yesterday, people in the team have had fevers and gastrointestinal problems. At that time, I At that time, Lao Fan only had a common cold and didn't pay much attention to it. However, in just one night, more than 20 people were infected. Only then did we realize that something was wrong with this infectious disease. It should be Category A paratyphoid fever!”

"Paratyphoid fever?" Lin Chen had only heard of influenza and typhoid fever, and couldn't help but asked strangely: "What is that? Is it dangerous?"

Lao Fan sighed and said: "Paratyphoid fever is somewhat similar to typhoid fever, but it is not caused by a virus. It has a short incubation period and may break out in one day. The infected person will continue to have a fever, headache and general discomfort. , it may also be complicated by intestinal diseases, such as intestinal perforation, acute gastroenteritis, etc. If it is serious, it may even lead to intestinal bleeding and viral pneumonia! Originally, the fatality rate is not high if treated in time, but..."

After hearing the words that the fatality rate was not high, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. But then he heard the turning point and couldn't help but worry again: "Just what?"

"It's just that the paratyphoid fever that appears in our team is different from the one before the end of the world!"

Lin Chen said in surprise: "How do you say that?"

Lao Fan thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, paratyphoid fever is more common in summer and autumn, and the type of virus that infects young adults is mostly Salmonella Paratyphi A. But it is December now, New Year's Day is coming soon, it is not paratyphoid fever It’s the most common season. Moreover, the symptoms of the infected people in our fleet are also very rapid, and some of the subtle details are different from those of paratyphoid before the end of the world. Therefore, we conclude that it may be a variant of Salmonella A!”

Lin Chen nodded and asked worriedly: "How contagious is it? What should we do?"

"Currently, the infection is very contagious. My suggestion is to immediately isolate and treat those who have been infected, and fully ventilate the room. In addition, those who have been infected should also use dishes and chopsticks separately, and be sure to use high temperature when washing. Disinfect! As for those who are not infected yet, you can take emergency preventive medicine. Cotrimoxazole should be effective, and we also have it in the fleet!”

"Do it now!"

Lin Chen did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

Although the implementation of isolation measures will definitely cause panic among the team, infectious diseases must not be underestimated. Now, more than 20 people have been infected in one night, more than a quarter. If the delay continues, we don’t know how many people will be infected. As for the panic of the survivors, as long as the team's top management repeatedly explains it, it should be able to be controlled within a certain range!

"As of an hour ago, twenty-eight people have been infected. Fortunately, the team has antibiotics, and most people's conditions are under control. A few serious ones..." Old Fan shook his head and did not continue. .

Of course, Lin Chen understood what he meant. He was shocked and asked, "Can't we resuscitate it? Didn't you say that its fatality rate is very low? Is there a lack of medicine?"

Lao Fan shook his head and said helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to be saved, nor is it a problem with the medicine, but our conditions are really too bad. Of those sentenced to death, only one was the original infected person, and the other The three of them were seriously injured during the war with Uncle Ling. Their physical condition was already extremely poor, and if they were infected like this... before the end of the world, they might have been able to be saved by being placed in a special sterile ward. Now, alas, !”

"Then, what about the basic physical fitness enhancer?"

Lin Chen still has this thing in his hand. If it is useful, he will not be stingy with a few hundred crystal coins to save their lives!

"It can't be saved." Lao Fan had obviously considered that thing and vetoed: "If they had been strengthened before being injured, they might still be able to hold on. Now their bodies are about to die, even if they are temporarily strengthened, it is too late. …”

Just like that, four people were gone again?

When I was at Andu and Songping bases, although I saw far more dead people than now, they were all pure strangers. Lin Chen definitely didn't have much affection for people who had never even said hello, and he could accept seeing them die. But almost everyone in my team is familiar with them, and most of them can be called by their names. Lin Chen felt a little uncomfortable if four people died at once!

"Will the remaining people still have problems?"

After being silent for a while, Lin Chen quickly adjusted his mood. For those few survivors who could no longer hold on, he could only wish them a safe journey. Now, the more critical thing is to ensure that other people in the convoy will not be infected again!

Obviously, the mutated paratyphoid fever that infected so many people had something to do with Lao Fan's failure to identify the virus in time. Lao Fan, who was blaming himself in his heart, heard this and said with certainty: "After taking timely measures, basically there will be no problems. The more than 20 people who have been infected can basically be treated, and our team has enough antibiotics. As for The other survivors will not be in much danger because the source of infection has been found!”

"Source of infection?"

Hearing Lao Fan mention this word, Lin Chen immediately became concerned and asked, "Have you found out? How did this infectious disease crisis break out?"

Lao Fan nodded and said: "He was the last survivor to join the convoy two days ago. At that time, he only had some symptoms of a cold. Unless a comprehensive physical examination was carried out, nothing unusual could be found from the appearance. Since yesterday At the beginning, his virus started to attack and spread rapidly!"
