Master Qin Jiu is dead

Li Changfeng also learned the news from the Melting City Evening News

【Melting City News】

Unexplained symptoms of fever, cough, fatigue, fatigue, muscle aches and other symptoms have occurred in the Lubian Renjia Hotel in Rongcheng City. At present, 5 people have died and 12 people have been hospitalized. The dead include the hotel owner Qin Gentiana and his nephew. Although the cause of the disease is unknown, it is highly contagious, and the possibility of influenza cannot be ruled out...

Years of medical and scientific research experience told Li Changfeng that this is definitely not a simple flu

He hastily put down the newspaper and rushed to the local hospital.

Li Changfeng showed his medical license, "Where is the fever patient? Take me to see it."

"This way please" the nurse also looked confused, isn't it just a few fever patients?Is it still necessary to invite foreign experts for consultation?

Because Li Changfeng was too good-looking, there were more and more nurses and doctors onlookers, and finally the head of the department also came over.

The director of the department was a woman in her 30s, with light makeup on, and she walked over slowly, her high heels touching the floor, making a crisp sound that spread throughout the inpatient floor.

"Besides fever, cough, fatigue, muscle aches, do you have any other symptoms?"

A dozen people lying on the bed shook their heads

An old man with slow movements and a rough voice coughed and said slowly, "Sometimes the cough is so bad that I feel like I can't breathe."

Li Changfeng subconsciously covered his nose, "Have you been to other places recently?"

the old man shook his head

"So have you eaten anything special recently?"

The old man continued to shake his head

"Have you ever eaten wild animals like bats and civets?"

The old man nodded, "There's nothing special about these, right? These are our hotel's signatures, and we will eat them when the guests can't finish them."

Li Changfeng frowned, his face was very serious

"When did you eat it?"

The old man thought for a while, "Five days ago"

"Have you eaten it too?" Li Changfeng asked others

Some nod, some shake their heads

"Who was the first person to show symptoms of fever and cough?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally a weak voice came from the corner, "It's Qin Jiuye, but he's dead"

"About when"

"If I remember correctly, it should be the day before yesterday. He had a bad cough and went back early. I thought it was strange at the time. Although he is old, his body has always been strong and there is nothing wrong with him."

"Immediately report to the next level according to the second-class infectious disease, and isolate the dozen or so patients separately. Without permission, no one can visit"

The "okay" nurse hastily complied

Director "Professor Li" rushed up to greet him, "Do you have any new ideas?"

"Did CT do it?"

"Done"

"Bring me to see"

The nurse handed over the CT. Under the light transmission, Li Changfeng could clearly see some multiple patchy shadows. Most of the lesions were on the edge of the lungs.

"When was this filmed?"

"yesterday"

"Take another shot"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." The attending physician hurried back to the office to issue a doctor's order.

"Professor Li, is it serious?"

"Remember SARS in 2000?"

"This,, is impossible," the director turned pale in an instant

"What is your current diagnosis?"

"influenza"

"Ridiculous" Li Changfeng's calm face showed a hint of anger

"Then according to Professor Li's train of thought...?"

"When the CT scan is finished, show it to me"

"Good good good good" the director was frightened into a cold sweat, if it is really like SARS in 2000...

Think carefully

Due to the director's pressure, the new CT scan was completed soon

Most of the patients did not have any obvious changes in the new CT until they saw the old man who was coughing badly when he spoke. A large flake of ground-glass-like fuzzy boundary shadow, part of which has developed into a consolidation, manifested as an obvious large white flake.

"This..." The director thought it was unbelievable just now, and was stunned when he saw the chest CT that changed so quickly.

"It's pneumonia." Li Changfeng said firmly, "Moreover, it's probably not ordinary pneumonia."

"Reappearance of SARS?"

"uncertain"

"What do you mean?"

"Virus Variation"

Li Changfeng walked out of the ward, only the director was still in a mess in the wind

"Keep Qin Gentiana's body well, it's best to convince his family to do an autopsy"

"it is good"

"Find out the guests who have been in and out of that hotel within the past five days for centralized isolation, especially those who have eaten bat soup and civet cats, and pay attention to them"

"it is good"

"As well as those family members who have been in contact with them, they must be told to self-isolate at home, take their body temperature on time, and see a doctor immediately if they feel unwell."

"it is good"

"All medical staff must protect themselves. Follow the procedures of aseptic operations, masks, protective clothing, and sterile gloves, all of which are indispensable."

"Um"

The fever clinic got busy instantly.

"Professor Li, what should we do now?"

"Monitor the changes in the condition of the patient's chest at any time. Any changes should not be taken lightly. The rest should be diagnosed and treated according to infectious pneumonia."

"it is good"

"This is my business card. I have been in China for the past month. If you have any doubts and need my help, you can call me anytime." Li Changfeng handed over the business card.

"Okay, thank you very much Professor Li"

"Health depends on life, life depends on it, it should be"

However, no one took Li Changfeng's words seriously.

The deans have never seen a patient, let alone Li Changfeng. No one would believe the appalling "rumors" of "SARS reappearance" or "virus mutation"

Truth can also become a rumour, as long as one chooses not to believe it.

Until November 2025, 11, the epidemic was out of control.

The fever clinics of the major hospitals in Melting City are endless, and the inpatient department is full. The extra beds are crowded with the aisles, which is still not enough.

The melting city that used to be resplendent and prosperous was suddenly howling everywhere, and the land collapsed and the ground cracked.

On November 2025, 11, the melting city will be closed.

Although Li Changfeng had already made mental preparations, the out-of-control outbreak of the epidemic exceeded his imagination. It seemed that this virus was not ordinary cunning.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Li Changfengli?"

As soon as Li Changfeng opened the door, there were two or three policemen standing outside the door.

"I am, what's the problem?"

"We are from the Rongcheng Police Station." Several policemen showed their badges and did not say a word of nonsense, "After investigation, Mr. Li went to Lubian Renjia Hotel half a month ago, and now we need you to come with us "

"I can go with you, but I need to know why"

"Preliminary investigation, the outbreak of this outbreak may be related to the irregular consumption of wild animals in the hotel"

Li Changfeng frowned, "I told the outpatient director of the city hospital about this half a month ago, isn't it too late for you to do the investigation now?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just go if you are told, what are you doing so much?" Several policemen were already a little impatient, "You'd better bring some personal belongings, after finishing the record, you need to go to the designated hotel. Quarantine, no permission, no stepping out of the hotel”

"Wait a moment" Li Changfeng went back to his room, took some belongings, and got into the car.

"Aside from snake blood bibimbap, bat soup, braised pangolin, spicy civet, charcoal-grilled bamboo rat, and drunken shrimp, are there any other game dishes?"

"there is none left"

"Have you eaten all of it?"

"No, not a bite"

The policeman nodded while taking notes, and continued to ask,

"Approximately how many people were in the room that night?"

"Twenty or Thirty"

"Have they all eaten?"

"I don't know." As soon as Li Changfeng finished speaking, he thought of Bailang. He had been drinking that night, so he probably didn't eat, but did Bailang eat after he left?Li Changfeng suddenly became a little impetuous, but he still cooperated with the police and finished the record.

After finishing the record at the police station, he was taken to the designated hotel.

"Go in." The police opened a room and let Li Changfeng live in. Li Changfeng saw the garbage and fruit peels all over the floor, frowned, and said depressedly, "Can you give me a single room, and the isolation fee will be paid by me." out by yourself"

"It would be nice to have some accommodation. If it weren't for the fact that you are a doctor, we would have arranged you in a six-person room, and you still pick and choose."

"Sorry, change another room for me, if I have to quarantine with him for half a month, I will go crazy"

The policeman looked at the fat man lying on the ground sleeping soundly and the fruit peels all over the floor, with a look of disgust, "All right, all right, if it wasn't for your cooperation, I wouldn't bother to care about your life or death."

In the next room, as soon as the police opened the room, there was a strong smell of smoke. The room was pitch black, and the lights were not turned on. Only the red starlight flickered in the darkness. The boy could not see his face clearly in the darkness, but he could see his face. to the smoke floating in the air.

Seeing the two people at the door, the young man was surprised for three seconds, and then began to smoke silently again, without saying a word, Fang Fo had already been used to indifference.

"I'm going, what kind of hell is this? Aren't you afraid of getting lung cancer if you smoke so much?" room bar"

"No, just this one"

"Huh?" The policeman looked confused. Isn't this room worse than the one just now? "Okay, okay, as long as you think it's OK"

"sorry to bother you"

"You're welcome"

The police slipped away, and Li Changfeng walked into the room. Even though it was pitch black, he still didn't turn on the light.

The boy sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, even if it was blurry, even if he didn't say a word, he could recognize him at a glance. The moment he saw him, the irritability just now disappeared, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot.

He approached him slowly, then stopped in front of him, took the cigarette from his hand, and stubbed it out in the ashtray, "Don't smoke, I can't smell it"

"I can't smell you want to live with me?"

“I have no better choice”

"So, I will do it after you weigh the pros and cons. Is it the last choice?"

"Bailang, is it interesting to say these things now?"

"Boring"

"Maybe we can still be friends like before"

"Would you like to make.love with your friends?"

Li Changfeng: ...

"I think" Bailang smiled, "so I don't want to be friends with you, I just want to sleep with you."

“I think I'd better get another room”

The moment Li Changfeng turned around, Bailang stood up and threw him onto the bed, "You brought him to the door this time, let's settle the old and new ones together."
