Chapter 314 Infectious Disease Hospital, the First Battle Is About to Begin! (Red Comet Marswand Rewards Additional Update 2)

"Three patients were found at 37 Glaston Street."

"Four cases were found at 25 Cameron Street. They belong to three families."

"2 cases found at 37 Alama Street..."

The news is summarized one by one to the infectious disease hospital. On the large map in front of Gretel, toy figures as tall as a finger were placed one by one, and they quickly gathered into a small cluster.

——Most of them fall into an area intentionally marked yellow.

Gretel frowned and couldn't let go. He was deeply impressed by this area, which spanned two entire blocks in a low- to middle-income area. The 12 buildings are all properties of the same nobleman, and this nobleman is responsible for the piped water supply——

Water supply for the entire city of Nevis, with the exception of the garden area, is provided by a centralized water supply facility maintained by the Temple of the Springs. There is only one exception to this, which is the original private water company... And among the areas that the private water company is responsible for, the largest area is the 12 buildings of the nobleman!

Grete clenched his fist tightly. He knew it, he knew it! If this hidden danger is placed in the city, it will explode sooner or later!

The question now is, what disease is causing this outbreak...

"Contact the Emergency Management Department! Block these two blocks!" Grete issued a series of orders:

"All patients, everyone who lives in the patient's home, bring them to the infectious disease hospital! Go to the Black Crow Swamp for four people, all the patients' residences, drinking water, food, clothing, toilets, and conduct environmental sampling! Temple of the God of War, Goddess of Spring Water Temple, send one person each to your temple, and try to invite as many healers as possible to come and help!”

………………

Mrs. Belland turned the tap.

The water is a little yellow and very small. She muttered "these are damned", deftly picked up a copper pot to catch the water, and began to prepare dinner:

Little Avery found a job yesterday, and I want to give him something good to eat;

Tommy did well in the exam yesterday, and he should be rewarded. He will graduate from general school next year, and hopes to find a job like a clerk;

Should little Lila be sent to school next year?

Well, it depends on how much salary her two brothers can get. If the salary is high, little Lila can be sent to learn how to read, and the family can move to the same neighborhood where they originally lived.

There is no need to be like now, with two and a half young men, a little girl, and herself, four people crowded into a room...

"Mom, mom!" The five or six-year-old girl came over and pulled the hem of her skirt with a pout. Mrs. Beland turned back and touched her daughter's hair: "Little Lila, what's the matter?"

"Mom, I have to go to the bathroom!"

"Go, go and come back quickly." Mrs. Beland ordered. Listening to her daughter running out of the room, Mrs. Berland suddenly became sad, pulled up her apron and wiped the corners of her eyes:

"Old man, I wish you were alive... This girl is already six years old, and she still has to go to the public toilet in the corridor. There is not even a washroom at home..."

She put down her apron and went back to her work. Vegetables need to be washed and shredded; salted fish should be cut into a large piece and divided into three small pieces, two larger and one smaller; wash a few potatoes to prepare potato soup, and stew a pot of oatmeal porridge...

The middle-aged widow worked quickly. After sorting out the ingredients for dinner, she suddenly felt something was wrong:

Why hasn't my daughter come back yet? It was just to use the toilet, why did it take so long? Little Lila is usually very well-behaved. When she goes out to play, she is always told first...

While he was hesitating, heavy footsteps rushed up the stairs. Mrs. Berland opened the door and saw a group of men in black running through the corridor. Mrs. Belland was so frightened that she quickly closed the door, and a little worried, she quietly pushed the door open a crack and stood aside to watch.

The group of people rushed straight to the end of the corridor, and their footsteps turned as if they were entering a public washroom. After a while, they all left together. Mrs. Berland glanced at the crack of the door and saw one of them holding a little girl with auburn hair and limbs hanging down softly. It seemed to be her daughter!

"Little Lila?!"

Mrs. Belland was startled and immediately opened the door and rushed out. Before she even touched her daughter, one of the men in black reached out to hold her back and shouted:

"Your daughter?"

"yes……"

"You live here? How many people are there in your family? Where are the others?"

"There are two other sons... Eli is working and Tommy is in general school..."

"address!"

As he spoke, he pointed his right hand, and a little light flashed on his fingertips, which shone on Mrs. Belander's face. Mrs. Belland was in a trance, and for some reason she vaguely gave the address. The leading man in black waved his hand:

"Take it away! Go to her house to take samples! You two, go your own way and bring her son!"

Immediately, two men in black pushed her aside and rushed into the door. Mrs. Belland was shocked: "Sir, sir...I..."

I want to beg, but I don’t know what happened to my family, and I can’t even ask for mercy. Feeling anxious and scared, my stomach suddenly felt cramping, and I squatted down holding my lower abdomen.

"Don't be afraid." When she was extremely frightened, a young man suddenly came out from the crowd and reached out to support her. The young man bent slightly and spoke softly:

"A plague has broken out in this building, and your daughter is also sick. We are about to send her to a specialized hospital. You and your two sons may also be infected together - judging from how you are not doing well now - —According to the latest regulations promulgated by the Department of Public Health, it is best to go and observe together.”

He helped Mrs. Bellander downstairs with the tow frame and put her into the carriage. There were seven or eight people crammed into the small carriage, all of them were sick, clutching their stomachs and moaning in pain. Mrs. Berland hugged her daughter and just felt a little relieved when she jumped up from her seat:

"My oatmeal! The stove's still on!"

"...Go and deal with it personally!"

The carriage went further and further into the distance. The location of the infectious disease hospital is near Grete's mage tower, less than one kilometer away. Mrs. Belland got off the carriage with her daughter in her arms, and saw the doorway of the building in front of her, which was already busy:

"Quick, quick, quick! Quick, quick, quick!"

"This is going to die! Stretcher, stretcher!"

"Where is the priest?"

"Another car is coming? The second floor is already full. Send it to the third floor!"

"But Leon, the third floor is the respiratory infectious disease area!"

"There are no patients now! Send them up! The gentleman is here, I will explain to him!"

In the midst of the chaos, Mrs. Belland hugged her daughter tightly and did not dare to let go. Soon someone came to greet them:

"Is the little girl sick? Can she still walk? If she can't walk - bring the stretcher! Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, just go with the little girl. If you don't feel uncomfortable, go to the observation area -"

Mrs. Belland looked around. After standing at the door for a while, she saw at least three priests trotting over. They can't afford the pastor's treatment... For families like them, when they get sick, they have to bear it by themselves. At most, they can only buy some medicine...

"I'm fine..." Mrs. Berland endured another cramp in her stomach and gritted her teeth:

"Can I stay with my daughter? She will be scared if she can't see me..."

"Those who are not sick should go to the observation area." The boy who greeted her was fully equipped with a hat, mask, and gloves, and he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. His eyes were still smiling, but his tone had become stiff:

"Quick, take the person away! Take samples! Send them for examination! Hurry, run!"

A man wearing full epidemic medical uniforms ran over with a transparent disk, pulled Xiao Li onto the disk, pulled her away and left. Just as Mrs. Berland was about to ask more questions, she felt another overwhelming abdominal pain. Her vision went dark, she squatted down and was supported by the young man:

"Are you feeling unwell too? Can you still walk? If you can walk, follow your daughter. If you can't walk, just wait. The stretcher will be here soon!"

"...I'll go up!"

She met a young man in the middle of the hall. The black hair on the young man's forehead was completely wet and stuck to his forehead. As soon as he rushed into the hall, he shouted:

"Leon, how many patients are there now? How many healers have come?"

"Sir, there are 129 patients! There are 9 priests from the Church of the God of Nature, 17 from the God of War Temple, and 12 from the Spring Temple!" Leon Carlos responded. Gretel swayed on his feet and asked urgently:

"What are the symptoms?"

"Abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea... nausea and vomiting, headache and bloating, no strength to open eyes... By the way, there are a few who said they couldn't see clearly, their limbs were numb, their lips and tongue were numb..."

Leon handed over a brochure. Gretel scanned it ten lines at a time, and his heart was racing:

Such a large-scale disease is mostly related to the intestinal tract, so there is no doubt that it is an infectious disease... Intestinal diseases are mostly transmitted through feces or mouth, but what is the specific transmission route? food? water? sewer? Water pipe? Should we put everyone in quarantine?

——12 buildings, how many residents are there?

Before he could finish his thoughts, several more carriages stopped one after another. The apprentices went up to pick people up, arrange transportation, and inquire about their illness. At the same time, the apprentices who had sent the previous batch of patients had already rushed down. Seeing Gretel in the hall, they filed up and reported:

"Three patients, one has abdominal pain and diarrhea, one has a fever of 37.8 degrees, headache and vomiting, and one has severe abdominal pain and bloating!"

"Two patients, one has abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stools, and a fever of 38.5 degrees, and the other..."

"Four patients..."

Grete stood upright in the crowd of apprentices, looking at the patients pulled in one by one, as if he saw everything, and as if he saw nothing at all. 129 patients, 133, 135, 139...146...I don’t know how many patients are behind...

They only have 38 priests now…

Among the apprentices at his disposal, there are only 12 healers, all of whom are apprentices—oh, the girl from the Natural God Cult has recently advanced to a level 1 priest. There is also a mage apprentice in the medical branch who can be used as a healer...

Suddenly another apprentice rushed down the stairs. She was small and wearing a heavy epidemic medical uniform. She could only tell from her voice that she was a girl. She came in and shouted:

"Pastor! Is there any more pastor? There is a little girl dying!"

Mrs. Belland only heard the words "The little girl is dying." She made a trombone sound, turned around and pounced on the young man in the center of the crowd. Halfway through, her legs felt weak and she fell down, but she didn't feel the pain at all. She crawled and squeezed into the crowd, hugging Grete's legs:

"My daughter! Save my daughter!"
