Chapter 1538: Plague Zone

In the plague area of ​​Tianjin Wei, almost all patients are isolated here, and the stinking here is so terrible that even the constables responsible for isolating them need to wear masks and dare not approach without orders.

Every hour, people are dehydrated and die, which is even more creepy, with vomiting and wailing everywhere.

"It's really scary. In just three days, more than 300 people have disappeared. The plague in the past is just like this. I don't know how many people die if this continues. The doctor and the doctor are helpless. Our Tianjin military personnel are frequently moved, and I don't know where the plague comes from."

"There is a saying in the city that the plague spreads through miasma, and a miasma infects these patients. I don't know whether it is true or not, everyone in the city is in danger, and there are people who sprinkle lime on the streets, but it has no effect at all. Now, the number of patients has reached more than 800 in three days."

Officials from Tianjin Security Office were also wearing masks to inspect the plague area. They were their parents here. If something big happened, they had to stand up.

The scenes in the plague area made these officials feel shocking. Few of them have seen such a terrible scene, just like hell on earth.

In the face of the plague, the current civilized technology seems so fragile that they don’t even know the cause, transmission method, or treatment method.

"Sir, the Beijing Telegraph Station reported that the plague investigation team has already taken the train from Beijing and will soon arrive at our Tianjin Security Bureau." A telegrapher urgently informed the officials of the Tianjin Security Bureau.

"The savior is here. Come with me to the train station to welcome them!" The officials from Tianjin Security Office were overjoyed.

Tianjin Wei Railway Station has been blocked by soldiers carrying muskets. Before finding out the source of the plague, no one is allowed to leave the city through the railway station.

However, trains from other cities can still transport supplies and personnel here.

An investigation team composed of the Ministry of Medicine, Biology, and Nursing School came to Tianjin Wei. They found the haze shrouded over the city - the streets were deserted, and occasionally a few pedestrians who went out to buy groceries were also in a hurry and did not dare to walk on the streets. Some people sprinkled lime and splashed water at their doorstep.

"You are reacting so quickly, and you have arrived so quickly. Alas, our place is usually very prosperous and lively, but now everyone is afraid of the plague and dare not go out." Tianjin Wei officials said to the arrival of the investigation team with concern.

"Everyone wears a mask just in case. Your Highness, you also wear a mask, don't make a joke about your life." Xiao Xiu'er checked everyone's mask wearing.

Sofia quickly put on a mask, revealing only a pair of water-blue eyes.

"Sir, please take us to the plague area where the patient is."

"This is a natural thing."

A huge investigation team of 200 people entered the city, and many residents looked carefully at the people in white coats through the cracks in the door.

They were notified later that these people were doctors sent by the capital to fight the plague.

After hearing that the Beijing City sent investigators as soon as possible, the residents of Tianjin Wei who were not sick were relieved. At least they were not given up.

The investigation team where Xiao Xiu'er is located came to the plague area.

The plague area is not the place where the plague breaks out, but all patients suffering from the plague are concentrated near a village and a charity village outside the city to prevent them from infecting the people in the city.

"We have concentrated all the patients in this village, but new patients are still emerging in the city. It is really incredible. 300 people have died due to this plague, and the charity village next door is crowded." The official introduced the basic situation to the arrival of the investigation team.

"There are several possibilities. First, the source of the disease is not eliminated in the city; second, the patient is afraid of being transported here to wait for death and is hiding in the city. They are the new source of infection; third, some of the constables or doctors guarding here are infected because of contact with the patient, and then bring the plague back to the city..."

The people from the investigation team came to the village, and the patients here were all seriously dehydrated and could not be seen.

"What a terrible disease..." Xiao Xiu'er has seen many diseases, but she has never seen such a large-scale malignant infectious disease, which is shocking.

"It is said that the toxic miasma circulated in the city is emitting from the soil to cause the plague. Do you think it is the toxic gas in the city that causes the plague to rampant?" said an official.

"It is unlikely that it is a toxic gas. If it is really a harmful gas, the first infection should be the nose, respiratory tract and lungs... But now it seems that almost all patients are infected with the stomach and intestines. It is very likely that they have encountered some unclean food or... water?" Xiao Xiuer and other doctors had their first reaction when they thought of food and water poisoning.

"I need a patient to be dissected to see if I can find the root cause." Koch, the leader of the Biological Institute, wanted to leave the body directly.

"There are so many places in the charity village, that is, you need to communicate well with their families. You should also know that your body and skin are the parents, and the people pay attention to their peace of mind. To be honest, they are not willing to hand over it... But don't worry, just leave this matter to us." said an official from the Tianjin Military Government Office.

They did not know how to find the cause of the disease, but they played an indispensable role in the aftermath and maintaining order. Without the government, the rescue operation could not be carried out smoothly.

Princess Sophia was frightened to the point of seeing her mentor leaving her body for an autopsy.

She had studied bacteriology with Koch before, and was exposed to culture media or some birds and animals. This time she actually directly dissected the disease, and the gap was very big.

"Our medical department also wants to study a few diseases." Xiao Xiu'er was not as nervous as a novice like Princess Sophia. Her tone was very stable and she was used to these things.

"Okay, OK." The officials were very impressed by the doctors and people in the biology hospital that they were not afraid of the sick body at all, and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Soon the investigation team began work that many officials wanted to stay away from each other.

Princess Sofia, who had never experienced all this, looked pale. When the intense work began, Princess Sofia wanted to vomit several times, but she was tenacious and did not retreat.

"The people in the investigation team are really desperate and completely disrespectful to ghosts and gods. Wouldn't the timid person be scared to death?"

"It's really hard for them to do low-level work that only coroners do."

A group of officials were unable to intervene in this matter and admired the behavior of the investigation team.

In addition to physicians and bacterologists conducting anatomical studies, nurses are taking care of patients. They seem to relieve the pain of these patients and replenish the dehydrated patients, but the effect is not great.
