From Monday to Friday.
In just five short days, the world seemed to be the same as before. Nothing much had changed.
However, this autumn seemed to be colder than usual.
The cold wind howled and withered yellow leaves scattered all over the ground, covering the road with a layer of gold.
On the way to school, Ye Lingchen could not help but frown.
He did not know when it started, but there were fewer and fewer people on the road. Even if there were people, they were all wearing masks and walking in a hurry.
Even when they entered the school, many students wore masks and covered themselves up tightly.
"Thud!"
A soft sound reached Ye Lingchen's ears. Fifty meters away, a student suddenly fainted on the ground.
At this moment, the students who were originally close to it all had a look of panic on their faces. They quickened their steps and moved to the side to avoid it.
Just as Ye Lingchen was about to go over to take a look, the school's uniform staff arrived and carried the student away in a hurry.
The student raised his head in front of Ye Lingchen. His face was flushed as if it was on fire, and he was still mumbling to himself. Due to the high fever, he was still in a daze.
The temperature of the fever was estimated to be at least 40 degrees. Moreover, his body was sore and weak. It was likely that he had not eaten for some time.
In just an instant, Ye Lingchen could roughly see the student's problem.
When he arrived at the classroom, the atmosphere in the classroom was more solemn. It was completely different from the usual hustle and bustle.
"F * ck! Year 2 Class 3's Zhao Yan just fainted and was carried away! "Lil 'Gen inhaled sharply, his face filled with fear.
"Everyone in their dormitory has received the notice and will be taken away for a full physical examination."
"That's too scary! Many students in their class are also scared to death, "Potato said. Perhaps it was fear, he could not help but shudder.
"What's going on?" Ye Lingchen raised his brows and asked.
Recently, he had been busy streaming and writing novels. His daily routine was very regular and he did not pay much attention to the outside world. How did things turn out this way in just five short days?
It was as if everyone was suddenly in a state of panic.
"Ye 'zi, you don't know?" Xiang was stunned. "Open Weibo and take a look. There are all kinds of news push notifications."
Ye Lingchen took out his phone.
The trending searches on Weibo were already exploding. Almost all of them were about flu news. At the same time, Ye Lingchen finally found out the name of the flu — Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu.
"An entire class in XX Elementary School has been infected with Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu."
"Students from grade six and below, if you notice any symptoms of a cold, go to the hospital immediately!"
"Manifestations and prevention of Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu!"
"The hospitals are overcrowded. The whole city is in crisis. Everyone is panicking!"
The trending searches made Ye Lingchen's heart sink.
Every spring and autumn was the season for influenza outbreaks. However, there had never been a time when influenza was as rampant as this time. Most importantly, the influenza virus this time was unusual. Ordinary drugs could not kill it at all!
Although a lot of measures had been taken, it would take a long time to develop a medicine for influenza. No one could afford to wait!
Because … this flu could kill!
"How did Zhao Yan get Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu?" Lil 'Gen's voice trembled slightly. In this situation, contracting Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu was equivalent to being sentenced to death.
"Although Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu mostly targets children, once an adult's immune system declines, they will also get Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu. Most importantly, this flu is extremely contagious. It's too aggressive." Potato gasped.
"F * ck! I can't go home this National Day! "Xiang's phone popped up with a piece of news and he could not help but exclaim.
"Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu is getting more and more serious. The flu virus is actually evolving and starting to affect adults. To prevent the virus from spreading, the entire city is now banned!"
If one wanted to take a plane or a high-speed train, they must go through a comprehensive inspection and be 100% sure that they were free of the flu virus.
Ye Lingchen also understood the seriousness of the matter and began to search for news. The more he read, the more shocked he became.
The Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu virus had only appeared in the past two days. When the flu broke out some time ago, many people went to the hospital for treatment.
At first, they thought it was just a simple flu. However, after a long period of treatment, the flu showed no signs of getting better. Instead, it was getting worse.
The initial symptoms of Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu were exactly the same as a normal cold. There was only a cough and overall weakness. However, as time went on, a fever would start, loss of appetite, and physical skills would deteriorate. In the end, the fever would not subside and the illness would consume it.
At the beginning of the class, both the students and the teacher were a little distracted. After the class ended, the teacher reminded the students to pay attention to keeping warm and improving their physical fitness before leaving the class.
The students also dispersed and headed back to their dormitories.
Ring ring ring!
Ye Lingchen's phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was his mother.
"Hello, Mom."
"Son, how are you at school?"
"Everything's fine on my side."
"There's been a Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu recently. You must take good care of your body. Your dad said that once you catch a cold and your physical fitness declines, you might get Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu." Xu Zhen's voice was full of worry. "You must drink more hot water. Don't let yourself catch a cold, understand?"
"Mom, I know. You and Dad must take care of your health too."
"Your dad is a doctor. We know what to do," Xu Zhen said. She paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "You didn't go to the hospital for a checkup. This flu really tortures people beyond recognition. It's just too pitiful."
"Is Dad's hospital okay?"
"A bunch of people come to the hospital every day. The flu can't be cured at all. No one can leave the hospital. It's full now. Your dad hasn't been back for three days. I guess he hasn't even had a good night's sleep." Xu Zhen's voice was very heavy. "In the hospital, there are children and parents crying everywhere."
"Mom, let Dad take care of himself. Don't push yourself too hard," Ye Lingchen said.
He knew his father's character. Under such circumstances, he might really fight to the end with the flu.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lingchen looked at the photos posted by people on the Internet and sighed heavily.
The pain of the patients and the crying of their relatives seemed so powerless in the face of the disease.
At the same time, he began to search the Internet for an analysis of Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu and its symptoms from the beginning to the end.
Although his proficiency in Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine was not full, his Chinese Medicine was 70% and Western Medicine was 80%. Ye Lingchen did not believe that he could not cure this flu!
Soon, countless pathologies began to rapidly filter through his mind.
However, at that moment, his whole body was slightly stunned. The appearance of Xiao Feifei's illness the last time appeared in his mind. Her symptoms seemed to be Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu …
