As soon as he got the news, Butler Ye contacted Mi Wan and then drove to the pet hospital himself.
“Uncle Ye, don’t panic yet.” Sparrow Jing handed a glass of water to Butler Ye who was getting panicky.
“Thank you.” Butler Ye drank water and after his mood calmed down a bit, he continued to explain to Mi Wan. He didn’t explain it very clearly on the phone just now, “As far as I know, the HR manager of Dashao’s Company, didn’t feel comfortable and felt ill, and then she suddenly fainted during a meeting. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor confirmed that the HR manager was infected with a special virus, which was highly contagious. Then, the entire Mi Group was temporarily closed. All employees who have been in contact with the HR manager have been temporarily quarantined. The young master and the company’s senior executives are all inside.”
“So serious?” Mi Wan frowned.
“Also, this HR manager has a child who goes to Popcorn Kindergarten. Now Popcorn Kindergarten is also under quarantine. A lot of parents are crying outside the kindergarten, and the school doesn’t know what to do.” Butler Ye sighed, “Now I just hope that none of them end up being infected.”
Although he hoped so, the situation was definitely not optimistic with a virus that was serious enough to require immediate isolation by the hospital.
“Uncle Ye, don’t worry, my brother will be fine.” Mi Wan was not worried about Mi Yan’s health condition at all. He drank tea brewed by two flower demons in succession, so there was no way he wouldn’t be able to resist this virus at all. As for other employees of the Mi Group, Mi Wan didn’t know much about the virus, so she wasn’t sure.
As for the kindergarten, the demon tribe had its own function of resisting viruses, so the demon cubs in the kindergarten should be fine. The demon hunters also had spiritual power to protect the body. The group of children from Xuanwu Mountain would be able to survive as long as they all had cultivated spiritual power, there shouldn’t be much of a problem, so the only ones who would have problems were ordinary children in kindergarten. But ordinary people formed the largest group in this world.
“Boss, the news is out.” Xu Zhuang, who received the push message reminder, used the remote control to turn on the TV in the pet hospital.
On the TV, an emergency news was being broadcast: “It is reported that our city’s hospital received a female patient with fever three hours ago. A new type of transmissible virus was detected in her body, and isolation was carried out immediately. Experts said that this virus is highly similar to the H6N6 virus that occurred in Donghai City 30 years ago and is highly contagious. The infected people initially show symptoms such as fever, dizziness, sore throat, symptoms and it’s a bit similar to a cold.”
At this time, the host paused and seemed to have received the latest news. Then she continued to report again: “I just received the latest news. In Nanhai City, a large number of patients with fever infections suddenly appeared. Most of them are fishermen and vendors in the seafood market. Experts initially estimated that the source of the virus may be fish stocks near the South China Sea. The city government is stepping up personnel investigation. In the near future, it is best for everyone not to come into contact with seafood, and those who have been to Nanhai City in the near past, once you find that you have fever symptoms, please self-isolate in time and call 120…”
After that, the host also popularized a lot of prevention methods and knowledge, but Mi Wan was no longer in the mood to listen.
“Nanhai City, that’s a tourist city.” Although Xu Zhuang was a veterinarian, he had also studied medicine. He knew the dangers of infectious diseases best. Moreover, the source of infection was Nanhai City, which was also an important tourist city in China. It received tens of millions of tourists from all over the world every year. Although there was no follow-up report in the news, Xu Zhuang could already imagine the consequences of this virus. It was possible that it had spread to all parts of the world.
“Didn’t the news just say that this virus is highly similar to a virus from thirty years ago? Maybe a treatment will be found soon.” Mi Wan said optimistically.
“Boss, viruses will mutate, especially in the early stages. And even if they are highly similar, it does not mean that the same medicine will be effective.” Xu Zhuang said pessimistically.
“Is it going to happen again? The mortality rate of H6N6 back then was as high as 10%.” Butler Ye was the only person present who had experienced the infectious virus thirty years ago. Thinking about his experience at that time, he still had lingering fears.
“What was the source of the H6N6 virus back then?” Sparrow asked curiously.
“It was conger eel. A fisherman caught a mutated conger eel that tasted extremely delicious and was infected with the virus.” Because of this incident, Butler Ye had not eaten conger eel in the past thirty years.
East China Sea, South China Sea, seafood, conger eels, fishermen, seafood market?
All these connections reminded Mi Wan of something. She took out her cell phone and called Fan Chen.
“Hello~~” There was some noise on the other end of the phone.
“Fan Chen, is the shark demon next to you?” Mi Wan walked to the side and asked softly.
“Yes.” Fan Chen replied.
“Then ask her if this sudden virus is related to the batch of virus-infected fish she told us about last time?” Mi Wan asked eagerly.
“Yes.” Fan Chen sighed, “I asked her just now, it is indeed the same virus.”
“So this virus was really caused by her?” Mi Wan asked angrily.
“No.” Fan Chen explained, “She has been at the bottom of the East China Sea for decades and has never been to the South China Sea. The group of fish she discovered before was also purified by the old turtle using the purification technique.”
“Then. Why…the virus broke out, is it such a coincidence?”
“Wan Wan, the sea is too vast, and there cannot be only one group of fish carrying the virus. The old turtle’s purification technique only purified a part of the East China Sea, and it is impossible to purify the entire ocean.” Fan Chen said.
Mi Wan fell silent. She knew that Fan Chen was right. The ocean was too vast, and even a ninth-level demon could not purify the entire ocean. Fan Chen was still the demon king, but a sacrifice at the beginning of spring made him use up all his demon power.
“Then…then can you ask Old Turtle if there is a way to purify the virus this time.” Mi Wan said hopefully, “I heard Lao Xu say that Nanhai City is a tourist city, and there are people from all over the world travelling there every day. If the infection spreads among tourists, the consequences will be very serious.”
“Okay, I’ll ask him.” Fan Chen seemed a little apprehensive, but he still agreed.
“Then I’ll wait for your news.” Mi Wan hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Mi Wan and Butler Ye went to Mi Group. Mi Yan and some employees who had come into contact with Xia Ning were quarantined in the company’s large conference room. It seemed that because Mi Yan was also quarantined, everyone was in good condition, did not panic, and actively cooperated with the doctor’s work.
Seeing Butler Ye and Mi Wan coming over, since they couldn’t talk to each other through the glass in the conference room, Mi Yan took out his mobile phone, dialed Mi Wan’s number, and took the initiative to comfort her: “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry.”
“I know, just came to take a look.” Mi Wan replied.
“Thank you.” Mi Yan was silent for a while and then asked, “How is the kindergarten? You have introduced so many of your friends’ children to go to school there. Have they made it difficult for you?”
Mi Yan did not expect that an infectious disease in the people in his company may even affect the kindergarten. He didn’t know if this incident would affect Mi Wan. He had agreed to let Mi Wan’s friend’s child be transferred to their kindergarten in order to do Mi Wan a favor, but he did not expect that his good intentions would lead to bad things.
“Don’t worry, they’re all fine.” The group of people she introduced were the ones who needed his worry the least.
Mi Yan was inside at this time and couldn’t help. He couldn’t distinguish the truth from Mi Wan’s words. He just told her: “You don’t have to worry about me here. Just take care of yourself. If you encounter something difficult, ask Uncle Ye more.”
Mi Wan nodded and asked: “When will your quarantine end?”
“If it is confirmed that I am not infected, I will be able to come out soon. Now everyone is queuing up to wait for the test, and there will probably be news in the evening.” Mi Yan said calmly.
“Oh, then you can just wait for the test results. I’ll go to the kindergarten to have a look.” Mi Wan said.
“Well… I have placed a child in the kindergarten. If she is okay, can you take her back first?” Mi Yan said suddenly.
“Child?” Mi Wan was startled. Mi Yan seemed to be unmarried, but he brought a child.
“Yes, a little girl, about four or five years old. She doesn’t like to talk to people. Just ask the director. I picked her up on the road. I’ll tell you when she gets out.” Thinking of the little turtle, Mi Yan felt regret again. If he had known earlier, he would have left the child with the police.
“Okay, then when you come out, come pick her up from my place.” Mi Wan didn’t ask any more questions.
