Chapter 681 - The Effects of the Plague
Chapter 681: The Effects of the Plague
Kant shook his head at the end, lifted the curtain and walked out.
He walked out of the tent.
Kant took off his work clothes and asked the captain of the medical team, “Has it been confirmed that this soldier was infected with the plague?”
“Yes. It’s confirmed.” the captain of the medical team replied solemnly.
“Then, did any of the medical soldiers who took care of this soldier last night also get infected with this disease?” Kant asked hesitantly.
The medical team captain took a deep breath and replied, “Although we haven’t found the initial signs of this disease outside the body, in order to ensure that the virus is not leaked, the three soldiers who took care of this soldier last night have been taken to other tents and isolated. We will confirm their physical condition at any time.”
The incident that happened on the way back was a heavy blow to the person in charge of the medical soldier.
He could only pray that the situation was still under control.
Kant nodded and asked worriedly, “Based on the current situation, will the illness of the soldier in the camp pose a threat to his life?”
“The patient’s body temperature has far exceeded the standard of a normal person. The functions of the various systems in his body are gradually weakening. He may not last more than two days.” the captain of the medical unit replied.
Kant frowned tightly. The severity of this plague that appeared out of nowhere was far beyond his expectations.
“The plague is still within the range of a few people. We must not let it continue to spread.” Kant warned sternly.
“Yes.” the medical captain replied.
After returning to his tent, Kant immediately sent a message to the captain of the guards, asking him to come immediately.
Kant sat in front of the desk, holding his forehead with his hand, immersed in worry.
“Lord.” After a while, the captain of the guards arrived in front of the tent.
“Come in.” Kant said.
The captain of the guard team walked to Kant’s desk and squatted down to salute.
“You know what happened in the army, right?” Kant asked after he signaled him to stand up.
“Yes, I heard the news from the medics.” the tone of the captain of the guard team was a bit heavy.
“Did your soldiers also know it?” Kant raised his head and asked.
“No, in order to prevent a panic, the news did not spread.” the captain of the guards replied.
“Yes.” Kant nodded, “I asked you to come here this time to ask you to help me search for information about the soldiers being infected with the plague. “You will personally go to the companion of the infected soldier and ask: This soldier began to feel uncomfortable a few days ago, where is his main activity area during these few days?”
“Roger, does Lord have any other arrangements?” the captain of the guards asked.
“Yes, issue an order to all soldiers, do not casually approach the tent where the infected soldiers are. Those who violate the law will be dealt with by military law.” Kant ordered sternly.
“Understood.”
After receiving the mission, the captain of the guards immediately retreated and left the camp.
In Kant’s heart, he knew the extent to which the plague’s harm could spread. Even in the glorious city of the ancient civilization, an outbreak of the plague had almost destroyed everything.
Today, they were still trekking in the desert, and the medical equipment they brought with them was relatively simple. In the face of such an infectious disease, it was of no use at all.
The lives of the soldiers who were infected with the plague could not be saved. They could only hope that they would not mistakenly bring the people who carried the virus into the main city.
In the afternoon, the captain of the guards returned to Kant’s tent with the information he had gathered.
“How is it?” Kant asked.
“Two soldiers who were close to the infected soldiers said that about three days ago, this soldier’s physical strength seemed to have become weaker. He often coughed and told the others that his chest hurt. However, they thought that it was a common disease caused by the difference in temperature in the desert, so everyone just suggested that the soldier go to the medical team to get a set of cough medicine. They didn’t care anymore. It wasn’t until later that the soldier didn’t eat or drink for a whole day. When the soldier with him noticed the abnormality and brought him back to the tent to rest, the soldier fainted due to heat stroke.”
“Well, then did the soldier drink the cough medicine that the medical team gave him?” Kant thought for a moment and asked.
“No. We found the original bottle of medicine in the soldier’s storage cabinet. The medicine inside was not touched.” the captain of the guards replied and added, “I heard from others that the soldier didn’t seem to like drinking medicine.”
“Okay, go on,” Kant replied.
“Then I asked them about the range of activities of this soldier in the past few days. They said that they didn’t know much about it. “Because the soldier usually strolls around the military camp after eating lunch and dinner. They haven’t followed him to see where he went.” the captain of the guards continued.
“Then the cause of the plague is a mystery.” Kant said silently.
“The soldiers traveling with me don’t seem to know that someone in the army is infected with the plague. When I told them not to go near the tent where the medics are stationed, they asked me how this soldier is doing.” the captain continued.
“Okay, quickly inform the captain of the medical team about the information you know. This is important information for them.” Kant said.
“Yes.” the captain of the guards replied.
Kant followed the captain out of the tent and watched him leave.
He looked at the sky outside. It was almost dusk.
Because of such a sudden incident, the progress of the day was delayed.
He did not know how the medical soldiers were handling the situation.
Kant was strolling in the barracks when he saw the medics wearing protective clothing. They came out of a tent with a bunch of soldiers’ clothes, equipment, and so on. They walked to the outside of the barracks and threw everything into the bonfire.
Kant took a few steps in that direction and heard a guard following closely behind the leading medics shouting, “Why did you burn all these things?!”
The medic did not say a word but continued to throw the things in his hands at the fire silently.
Thick smoke rose from the top of the fire. The medic soldiers near the fire hurriedly took two steps back. The guard who kept shouting questions was also dragged away by a few medic soldiers.
Kant witnessed the whole process and sighed in his heart.
In the end, even the body of the infected soldier would be buried in a bonfire in the wilderness.
