The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 212 The Winter is Coming
He is also the owner of a family hotel in a small town.

Every time the original owner came to the town and settled in the town.

He would make a special trip to the station to pick up people coming from afar.

"How is it? Tired!" Old John looked at her up and down with concern.

With a ruddy complexion, he seemed to be living a good life, with a big mustache on his mouth.

"I'm fine, how are you all?" Ling Xiao replied, putting the luggage in the trunk by himself.

She walked to the front quickly, and soon sat in the passenger seat, and even buckled up the seat belt, the old man drove.

"They are all very good, everyone is looking forward to your coming." The old man said with a smile, the relationship between the original owner and this family is pretty good.

Every time I come to the town, I will bring some exquisite Christmas gifts, which are very attractive to children, and those children are very happy with the original owner.

After accepting the memory of the original owner, Ling Xiao hurriedly bought some Christmas gifts, ready to send them out at that time, and always wanted to maintain these feelings for the original owner.

After Ling Xiao arrived in Weilan Town, he didn't do much. He distributed some gifts first, and even greeted the children. The children in childhood were very cute.

They are like large dolls, they can walk, move and talk, and they still have a baby voice when they talk, they are very fun, they are simply the most beautiful dolls, this is the cutest stage.

It is said that the cubs in the infancy period all have the characteristics of cuteness, which is evolved. In order to ensure the reproduction of the race to the maximum extent, after all, if the infancy period does not have the care of the elders, the chance of growing up is almost zero.People who can hurt cute children are not human beings.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao went to the grave of the original owner's boyfriend. The young man in the photo had a smiling face like the rising sun, and his appearance was forever fixed in the original owner's heart as the youngest.

Looking at the photo, Ling Xiao didn't say anything. This is the path chosen by the original owner. It is impossible for her, an outsider, to care about the original owner's emotional issues, and she doesn't know how long she will stay.

After going to visit the tomb, Ling Xiao found out that there is still a place for skiing in this small town. The original owner knew how to ski, so she learned it out of curiosity.

She quickly mastered this sport and spent some time on it. She is a relatively courageous person, and quickly practiced a lot of skills.

And on Christmas Day, people in the small town held a bonfire party, and a group of people mixed together lively.

After playing with everyone for a while, Ling Xiao didn't stay up all night, but went to bed early, she had better rest more.

What I didn't expect was that Ling Xiao was awakened by the unexpected ringing of the phone when he slept in the middle of the night.

Which sick person is calling at this hour?I don't know if everyone is asleep?
As someone who wanted to adjust his body and didn't even care about Christmas Eve, he was really angry.

Ling Xiao grabbed his phone and glanced out the window, it wasn't too dark outside.

Because of the snow, there is still a faint white light.

But it's only three o'clock in the morning.

"Hey! What's the matter?"

Ling Xiao looked at the caller ID.

She thought it was a prank.

It was a prank by some guy who went on vacation somewhere else.

But after looking at the number on the caller ID, I found that it was not the same thing.

"Ms. Lianna, I regret to inform you: the vacation is over, please return to the institute as soon as possible."

The voice of the caller was very unfamiliar, which made Ling Xiao a little confused about what was going on.

But the phone number is indeed the office phone number of the research institute, and it belongs to the kind of number that is not disclosed to the public.

What's going on here?Why let her return early?Something must have happened!This idea suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao's mind.

She said: "I am now in Azure Town, Ribe State. It will take some time to go back to the institute. I wonder if it will delay things? It seems that I have to hurry back as soon as possible."

"Please come back as soon as possible, as soon as possible, because there are problems related to the epidemic now." The man said.

Ling Xiao understood as soon as he heard it, and was about to get up, and said at the same time: "Okay, I'm going to go back, right away."

"Okay, Ms. Lian Na, then I will inform other people, goodbye." After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Ling Xiao was a little speechless after hearing the busy tone, the caller was really in a hurry!
And the side proves that the problem is not small, so I don't have the idea of ​​complaining, so let's go back!

She got up quickly, dressed quickly, and then packed her things.

Then I looked at the information from the Internet, how to leave.

Fortunately, the flight is not crowded at all.

There is a place on the plane.

Then she hurriedly booked a flight.

Prepare to rush back to the institute as quickly as possible.

After booking the ticket, she hurried to the kitchen with her things.

After cooking herself some food, she wrote a letter to old John while she had time.

She told the old man that her unit had urgent matters and had to leave, and wished them a happy holiday.

After eating, she went to the station to transfer to the airport, and took the nearest flight back to the city where the research institute is located.

After returning to the research institute, I found that half of the people hadn't come back. After all, most of them were traveling as a family, and I'm afraid they went farther.

Even if some people are traveling abroad, it will take more time for them to get back even if they receive the news.

Ling Xiao belongs to the one who came back quickly. Although Weilan Town is a bit far away, after all, he has not gone abroad yet.

Why!It's really a headache, she has some thoughts in her heart, and there will be a big hole.

What annoys her so much is that she is calm after such a big event.

Even the most well-informed media did not report it, as if it was fake.

But the person from the research institute notified everyone to come back, which means that the matter is not small.

Then there may be a deliberate concealment of the facts.

This is to commit a great death.

Is it really an epidemic now?

Or was it just a false alarm?

At this moment, Ling Xiao was also a little surprised.

This requires real evidence to prove it.

In fact, most people are kept in the dark and don't even know it.

Just thinking about Ling Xiao makes her very angry, she doesn't even know what's going on.

This shows that her news is a little behind, but An Qi got the information from other channels.
Ling Xiao couldn't help thinking of the message from An Qi, saying that someone she knew was sick in Avic City yesterday.

Said he was covered with red rashes, the man panicked and ran to the hospital to see, he soon felt that something was wrong.

Because there are many patients with the same condition in the hospital, Zhatui has a rash?What's going on here?He thought about it and felt helpless.

I also showed everyone the selfie, the face was covered with red rashes, Angie saw it with a bit of curiosity, and naturally wanted her friend Lianna to take a look.

Wanting to ask his friend what was going on, he forwarded the corresponding thing to Ling Xiao's mobile phone. After receiving this picture, Ling Xiao's first feeling was that it looked a bit like Ebola.

Who let her experience the Ebola virus situation in person, this impression is really too deep, those filoviruses are not low infectivity, and the toxicity is particularly high, there is contact infection (mainly bodily fluid infection) , droplet infection.

If it is really filoviruses such as Ebola and Marburg, it would be a particularly terrifying thing for people in this country. After all, people in this world have not had filoviruses for a long time.

What made her feel wrong the most was what happened in Avic City. You must know that Avic City is a medium-sized city, and it is not very popular in the whole country.

If it wasn't for the Stein Biological Research Center in Avic City, which is similar in nature to the research institute where the original owner worked, the original owner should not have that city in his memory.

After Ling Xiao began to suspect that it might be an infectious virus, her first reaction was, did something happen to the biological research center?
This is definitely not her wild imagination, because the Stein Biological Research Center has many original virus strains sealed there.

Because researchers need the original strain to study viruses, they can't just talk about it on paper, right?

Ling Xiao closed his eyes and began to recall the information related to the biological research center in the memory of the original owner.

Because the research institute and the research center are very similar in terms of research.

Even when she graduated, she could enter the research center.

For this reason, the original owner was still very hesitant.

Later, I found that the atmosphere of the institute was good.

The original owner finally chose this side.

But she still remembered the information from the research center.

There are many original strains of viruses above level [-] viruses stored.

Among them is Ebola, which has not yet been thoroughly studied.

After thinking of this, Ling Xiao's face was very ugly, and he felt that the possibility of filovirus increased.

In the past, she still thought that she might have misunderstood the symptoms, or could it be another disease?

After all, some other diseases can also cause red rashes, because the Ebola outbreaks were all in another continent.

But thinking of the city he was in, Ling Xiao had to think of the Stein Biological Research Center.

Could it be that the virus leaked out there?Although this possibility seems very low.

You must know that the security alert level of the research center will not be low, only high.

The security measures of the research institute are very high, completely militarized.

Meaning the chances of leaking a virus are low.

But it doesn't mean absolutely nothing.

If Ling Xiao's guess is true.

That means that Avic City may become a Shura field.

It also explains why the patients in the hospital have those symptoms?

So what is the situation at the research center?Ling Xiao was very curious.

There is another feeling: the epidemic was discovered relatively late, and many people became ill.

The most hateful thing is that as a person who studies viruses, he has not been notified until now, and it has been too long.

Thinking that those who study viruses still don't know anything, Ling Xiao feels a toothache.

She is very anxious at this moment, how did she get to this point?Those of them who are responsible for studying the virus have just received the news.

It was several days late, which in itself is not good news. In fact, there are still many people who don't know the relevant news at all.

Thinking of this, maybe Ling Xiao didn't even have the idea of ​​going home after getting off the plane, so he just took his luggage and went back to his office.

Intuition tells her that she will be very busy for a long time, and she doesn't know if she will go home to rest sometimes, so it's good to bring some clothes for a change.

After entering the office and turning on the computer, she received an electronic notification with the words Urgent, so she clicked on it and it turned out that something happened in Avic City, it should be an epidemic.

She couldn't help frowning after reading it. If there was really a major epidemic in Avic City, then it should be under control now. Why is there no news?After looking at the notice, someone should have found something wrong and contacted the research institute.

The reason why it was said that someone contacted him was that Victor, a doctor in Avik City, had received several patients with the same symptoms in a row.

Dr. Victor contacted other doctors in the city and found that there were still many patients applying for medical treatment, but they had not yet scheduled their time to see a doctor.

After some investigation, he found that the number of patients applying for treatment was increasing rapidly, and there were more similar patients among the emergency patients.

After getting no reply, Dr. Victor contacted a classmate in the institute, who just stayed behind to read the information and felt something was wrong.

After asking David, the top leader of the research institute, David sent a notice to let people, including Ling Xiao, return to the research institute quickly.

Because it wasn't just Ling Xiao who thought something was wrong, David also felt something was wrong, and wanted to see if everyone had a good way.

After reading the announcement, Ling Xiao felt bad. The presence of many patients meant that the virus might spread there.

All right!That Avic City could become the Plaguelands, and that's a big problem.

In addition, she thought of An Qi's message, and An Qi also knew about it, circle of friends?
If she found out in her circle of friends, who sent the message?
I'm afraid that person is in the same class as An Qi, how about An Qi?
Of course, it may be someone she has come into contact with.

This is a more difficult thing to deal with.

After thinking for a while, she sent An Qi a message.

She said, "Anqi, do you know the person who sent the message?"

After a while, An Qi replied: "No! It was forwarded by someone else I know."

Hearing this, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and it is very likely that he will be infected if he comes into close contact with an infected person.

"That person was in Avic City when he was sick, and he was so frightened when he saw the situation that he ran out overnight."

After seeing this message, Ling Xiao first felt that it was troublesome, which meant that some people might run away with the source of infection, which is very bad.

Depend on!Ling Xiao almost lost his voice and greeted God, the world is now globalized, and the transportation is relatively developed.

There are all kinds of planes, trains and cars, and the transportation is very convenient. You can go to another city anytime, anywhere.

If someone runs to another country, it means that the virus will break out within that country.

If so, there is a possibility of a plague worse than the Spanish flu.

This trouble is gone, what should I do now?
Tube?No right, whatever?No one can escape.

At this moment, Ling Xiao is a little confused, my God!

Finally she regained her mood and figured out what to do first.

She first sent several attention messages to An Qi who was far away in the Aegean Sea.

"Hurry up and buy a house in the Aegean Sea, stock up on food, and keep an eye on what's going on."

"I can only say so much, you must pay attention to your own safety, as long as you know it in your own mind." Ling Xiao said.

The reason why she was asked to buy a house was because she was afraid that if the situation got out of control, An Qi would still have a place to stay instead of being kicked out by the hotel staff.

Fortunately, there was no epidemic before An Qi went abroad, so the country she went to would not reject her directly.

"??????" Angie on the opposite side typed a series of question marks, but she didn't understand.

Ling Xiao said in his heart: "If the virus gets out of control, An Qi will stay there for safety."

But she couldn't send out these words to prevent being said to spread rumors.

After all, some things and information are not suitable for individuals to speak out.

"You have to learn to protect yourself."

"Is it really possible to be...?"

"Nothing can be determined right now."

"We can't be sure until we have some real evidence."

As a researcher, it is impossible to speak freely without empirical evidence.

"In addition, it's good to know some things well, so as not to panic." Ling Xiao continued.

Angie sent back a message, saying, "Got it, anyway, I've already left the country, and William just happened to be away."

William was her only son, and he happened to go to other countries to do charity work, and Angie didn't care about others.

She is going to buy food and other things right away. There is no need to buy a house. This is her house, which is specially used for vacation.

She planned not to run around during this time, but to stay at home obediently.Of course, the reason why I don't say it is that An Qi has a brain. She knows one thing very well, that is, when the epidemic hits, if people who are not infected do a good job of self-isolation, there is basically no possibility of infection.
