Chapter 267 The whole city breaks out

"Buzz"

While Gu Ji was thinking about the side mission, his phone vibrated.

When I took it out, I saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Prosecutor Jin Jijiu, I am Li Xuanzhen."

"Director Li?"

Gu Ji did not expect that the head of the Blue House Secretariat would personally call him, a junior prosecutor.

"I want to talk to you in person, so Director Jiang asked for your contact information."

On the phone, Li Xuanzhen's tone was kind, "I checked your information. You majored in microbiology at Seoul National University and are especially good at research on bacteria and viruses. No wonder you have so many insights into this MERS incident."

He started by praising him.

Obviously, this conversation paid more attention to Gu Ji than the previous discussion in the restaurant.

"So, what do you think is the best starting point to break through this public health emergency?"

"Super patient."

I'm really sleepy and I give you a pillow.

When Gu Ji heard Li Xuanzhen's words, the first thought that popped into his mind was the side mission that had just been refreshed.

So, he simply repeated his previous summary and analysis.

"So, I think the government's top priority should be to seize the time to set up infection control points in Seoul and prioritize targeting all super patients. Only in this way can the problem of virus spread be solved as soon as possible!"

The phone receiver suddenly went silent for a long time.

There is a high probability that Lee Hyun Jung is waiting for the South Korean President's opinion.

Sure enough, in less than half a minute, he affirmed: "It's a good idea. I'll leave it to you to solve the problem of 'super patient'. Is that okay, Prosecutor Kim?"

"No problem at all."

"Okay, if you have any questions, just call me directly and I will do my best to provide you with the greatest help."

Li Xuanzhen's words were equivalent to obtaining the Blue House charter on behalf of Gu Ji.

With such a large backstage, it will naturally be more convenient for Gu Ji to get things done.

AM Hospital Outpatient Department.

Although Gu Ji's distribution optimization has been carried out, more and more infected people and close contacts in Seoul cannot stand up. This is due to the publicity of Lin Inna and Jiang Songyuan, which has made many netizens see the sincerity of AM Hospital, especially the free masks. at this point.

At this time, an uncle cut in from the side of the team and came to the head of the team.

Just as he was about to squeeze in, he was stopped by the security personnel responsible for maintaining order.

"Sir, please fill out the form and go to the back to line up!"

"I'm not here to see a doctor. I just want to get a mask. Can you give me a few more packs? There are several people in my family."

"Sorry sir, for PCR testing, each person can only receive one free mask."

"Then I'll be done with it if I do it a few more times!"

"Uncle, this is not allowed..."

After finally waiting for the security to deal with the unreasonable old man, he chatted with the rotating medical staff standing aside.

"What do you mean by the news released by the government today? Is it going to impose a lockdown on Seoul?"

"I don't know, but my boyfriend works at the airport. He said that all major airlines are reducing flights now, and people from the CDC have also begun stationed at the airport to set up a blockade."

"City closure, real or fake?"

The two did not expect to be heard by the patients in line.

As soon as these words came out.

Suddenly there was an uproar in the clinic lobby.

In an instant, a white-collar man in a suit hurriedly took out his phone, half-covered his mouth with his hand, and shouted in a low voice: "Get your daughter back quickly, I'll go back right away, oh, don't ask why, book the nearest flight immediately!"

"Hello? Dad, Mom, from now on, don't go out of the house, and don't contact anyone. The country may not be able to control the spread of the virus. That's the news I just heard in the hospital!"

"Xiyuan, you better not come over to see me. I heard that Seoul is going to be closed down. If you come over, you won't be able to leave again!"

Although Gu Ji explained in time, he still couldn't stop the panic from fermenting in the crowd.

The security guard and the medical staff couldn't have imagined it.

Their simple guess could have such a terrible impact.

The female nurse was so frightened that she almost shed tears.

"Prosecutor Kim, what should I do? I didn't mean to do it. The police won't arrest me as a rumor maker, right?"

"It's not all your fault, it's just that everyone has been suppressed for too long in this incident."

Gu Ji has personally experienced so many checkpoint crises.

Therefore, he knows that human beings are absolutely unable to remain calm in the face of crisis.

With the daily release of data on MERS infections and close contacts by the CDC, gunpowder has been planted in the hearts of the people. Until the government announced these policies, it was equivalent to completely igniting panic.

Sometimes, this panic can even be scarier than the virus itself.

Gu Ji called his subordinate Zhang Shiyun and asked him to accompany him to the hospital to investigate the super patient.

Unexpectedly, after leaving AM Hospital.

The number of vehicles on the street suddenly increased a lot. They seemed to be people who had heard the news from the government and were preparing to leave Seoul early.

"Since yesterday, the MERS infection has worsened in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. No specific drug has yet been found to treat this disease. The National Center for Disease Control and Prevention has decided to raise the risk level of this MERS event to 'severe'!"

In the center of Seoul, Gu Jigang picked up Zhang Shiyun.

As a result, a government announcement was broadcast on the large promotional screen in the shopping mall, and the speaker was none other than Zheng Yinsheng from the crisis response analysis room.

The words just fell.

"Boom buzz", a black car suddenly rushed up from the intersection, ran straight through the red light, and ran towards the west of the city, as if it was in a hurry to reincarnate. But then, other vehicles at the intersection seemed to react and ignored the traffic rules. , jumping in whenever possible, and some vehicles even rushed directly onto the pedestrian road.

"Didi! Asiba, get out of my way!"

"Can the one in front move?"

"Don't cry, kid! Dad will take you out of here right away! Yeah! Can the one in front move?"

…

In the blink of an eye, the driveway was in order just a moment ago.

All of a sudden, they all gathered together and crowded in the middle of the intersection. No one gave way. The owners of several cars even opened their car doors and started fighting on the street.

"This...how could this happen!"

Zhang Shiyun had never seen such a scene before. Seeing that the surroundings were crowded with cars, he could only look at Gu Ji anxiously, "Senior, the car can't move, what should we do now?"

"get off."

Gu Ji looked around and judged that the traffic jam was unlikely to be cleared for a while, so he decided to walk.

Anyway, the target point is not far from here.

The two of them walked along the sidewalk.

Almost all the shop owners on the street closed their shops in a hurry, except for convenience stores and pharmacies, which were surrounded by water.

A large number of passers-by rushed into the store and began to frantically buy food and daily necessities inside, as if for free. Some people even fought over a few buckets of instant noodles, knocking the shelves next to them to the ground. Overwhelmed a couple.

"Senior! Someone is injured in the convenience store!"

"Call the police first!"

Gu Ji glanced at the time and rushed in with Zhang Shiyun.

"I got this thing first!"

"Get lost! It's not yours until the payment is made!"

"Please, sir, I still have a seriously ill wife and children who need to be taken care of at home. Please take pity on me and give me this box of instant noodles!"

"Uuuuuuuuu, mom..."

The convenience store had completely turned into a mess. Several people tore into a bag of potato chips, and eventually the package broke and the potato chips were scattered all over the floor. Some people even pushed a cart of goods and fled out of the door in a panic, even without paying the bill. None.

"Someone is injured under the shelf, please stop fighting for it!"

Zhang Shiyun shouted loudly, trying to wake up the chaotic crowd around him, but at this critical moment, no one cared what he said.

"Lift the shelf up first!" Gu Ji and he grabbed both sides of the shelf respectively.

After lifting it up with strength, the woman underneath hurriedly got up, grabbed her husband and crawled out, while thanking you, "Thank you! Zhengxun, please get up quickly and thank me properly, Zhengxun?"

"Ahem, vomit, vomit, vomit..."

Unexpectedly, the woman just pushed her husband twice.

The middle-aged uncle named "Zheng Xun" began to cough violently, and suddenly passed out before he could take a breath.

"Zhengxun! Wake up! Don't scare me!"

"Oops, senior, was he seriously injured when he was hit by the shelf?"

Zhang Shiyun was in a hurry and looked at a loss.

Gu Jize quickly came to the middle-aged uncle. He first touched the ribs on both sides and found that there were no signs of fracture, indicating that it was not a pneumothorax. When he opened his mouth, there was no foreign body blocking his throat.

"Does he have a history of heart disease?"

"No, I just had a fever recently and felt uncomfortable all over. I didn't expect that..."

"Has he been to the hospital recently?"

"Ah, I think I went to Shansang Hospital to prescribe medicine for me, because I haven't been able to sleep well lately..."

"Zhang Shiyun, call the CDC immediately and find a highly suspected case of MERS, and request that people in the supermarket be immediately screened for close contacts. Auntie, please stay here and don't leave!"

Gu Ji directly interrupted the middle-aged woman's speech and helped the uncle's head to lie on his side to prevent saliva, phlegm, etc. from getting stuck in the throat.

"What? MERS!"

"Quick! Run! Someone here is infected with MERS!"

"Damn it! Get out of the way!"

A nearby woman who was rushing to buy food heard the words Gu Ji said and screamed in fright.

Unexpectedly, one stone caused thousands of waves.

With the middle-aged couple and Gu Ji as the center of the circle, the surrounding crowd instantly fled in all directions, and soon a hollow circle with a radius of two meters was formed in the center of the supermarket.

You know, no matter what Jang Se-yoon shouted just now, these people only care about themselves, which is enough to prove how terrifying "MERS" is in the hearts of the Korean people.

Not only that, government departments now also attach great importance to it.

Not long after Gu Jicai asked Zhang Shiyun to call the police, patrolmen wearing dark blue police uniforms and explosion-proof helmets surrounded him with shields and mechanical batons, and instantly blocked the entrance to the supermarket.

"The police are closing down the supermarket!"

"Let us out!"

"I hope everyone will cooperate and don't leave now. You need to wait until the CDC investigation and recording is completed before you can leave!"

It seems that the Seoul Police Department is also aware of the chaos taking place in the city, so it directly dispatched combat police, which is equivalent to Xia Kingdom's special police riot brigade.

Not long after, CDC personnel wearing white protective clothing walked in with yellow warning tape.

Gu Ji handed the person over to the person in charge of the scene.

Because he and Zhang Shiyun had already taken protective measures before leaving the hospital. Not only did they wear goggles and masks, they also put on two layers of gloves on their hands.

So after registering, the two of them were the first to leave the supermarket.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Ji finally arrived at the gate of Sansang Hospital in Seoul.

That's right.

His first target was Sansang, one of the two major sources of MERS, because two of the "super patients" were in this hospital, especially the strongest individual case that infected 85 patients.

Upon entering the outpatient department.

The number of people in the lobby seems to be nearly half less than that of AM Hospital. But judging from the mess on the ground, it seems that the list of patient hospitals has just been announced today, which caused panic, so many people were scared to come to Sansang Hospital. Patients ready for treatment left in a hurry.

"I want to find your dean."

Gu Ji didn't waste any time, grabbed a nurse and showed her ID.

But I didn't expect that the director was not in the hospital. According to the nurse, it seemed that he was called away by the senior management to hold a press conference, most likely to apologize to the public.

After all, in this MERS incident, a hospital in Shansang infected nearly 30% of its patients due to poor management and failure to report the disease in time and implemented a lockdown.

After a long time, a short middle-aged man in a white coat walked slowly.

Unexpectedly, it was him who was on duty today, Li Minfu!

Because he had previously lied to them about the presence of anthrax in Sansang's emergency department, and then joined forces with AM Hospital to suppress Sansang, Lee Min-bok didn't give him a good look when they met.

"What are you here for?"

"Specialized by the Cheong Wa Dae Secretary's Office to investigate super patients!"

Li Minfu was originally thinking of some reason to refute Gu Ji, but when the three words "Blue House" were uttered, his expression suddenly changed.

It wasn't until he saw the photo of the concession document on his phone that he drooped his head and led Gu and Gu to the respiratory ward in frustration.

Currently, all confirmed patients and close contacts are quarantined here.

Looking at the piled beds on both sides of the ward corridor and the close contacts lying on them playing with their mobile phones, Gu almost vomited blood, "This is how you conduct isolation. Don't you know that MERS was suspected to be airborne just a few days ago?" Case?"

"We really have no choice. There are too many close contacts, and many nurses and doctors have also been infected. Now the hospital is short of beds and manpower."

Li Minfu just finished speaking.

Gu Ji saw Han Zaiyuan lying in the ward, who was the director of the respiratory department of the emergency room.

Shaking his head and sighing, he asked Li Minfu to bring the information of all confirmed patients, as well as the data on the infection chain of second- and third-generation infected people.

as expected.

Gu Ji discovered the two super patients in the file.

But in addition to the white-haired uncle who was the first-generation infected person and the strongest infected person, there was another person who caught his attention, named Jin Canyu, 36 years old, who infected 5 second-generation patients. "Who is this person?"

"He He……"

"Speak quickly!"

"He is a soldier and comes from Osan Base."
