Watching Nurse Sun leave, Zhang Tianhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he remember that there was still someone sleeping inside the curtain, and he couldn't help but smile.

After quietly finishing his notes, he went inside the curtain and looked at Xiaotian, who was fast asleep. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Without any hesitation, he lay down next to Xiaotian on the one-meter-wide hospital bed. He put his arm around Xiaotian and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Song's father looked at the message he had just received, his eyelids twitching. After all, who could have imagined that things would turn out this way?

The widespread panic in Changfeng County is a minor issue compared to the crucial task of controlling the spread of the virus.

"Xiaowen, things are much more serious than we thought!"

Sitting there, looking at Song Wen and several squad leaders, a bitter expression appeared on his face.

"Director, we don't have any better solutions right now. We can only isolate people, forcibly prevent them from leaving their homes, and require them to report any issues immediately."

"This is the only way to more effectively control the spread of the virus."

"Yes, Chief, we have joined forces with the outside army and have taken full control of the entire county!"

"Major Sanyo from the military police is also helpless. He said he would ask his superiors for instructions, but so far no troops have come to help us."

"Now we need to think about how to prevent the spread of this virus, and see if there are any preventative drugs, such as herbal decoctions."

"No, the Japanese have taken away a lot of medicines from the major pharmacies in the county, especially anti-inflammatory drugs, which are no longer available!"

"Yeah, without medicine, how can we prevent it? Isn't this just gambling with our brothers' lives?"

"Director, we also need to report this matter to our superiors. What do you think we should do?"

"Do you think it's useful for us to report to our superiors? Do you think they'll care whether we live or die? Or do you think they'll give us medicine to treat these virus-infected people for free?"

Director Song also took a deep breath, his tone filled with endless desolation, and gave a bitter smile.

"Then we can only wait to die!"

"Pretty much, but we still need to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, so that our brothers don't get infected too, understand?"

"Yes!"

"Pass the word down: everyone be extremely careful, don't get yourself killed again, understand?"

"Yes!"

……

Inside the hospital.

Miura dragged his tired body to the office in the morning and saw Major Sanyo sitting there, also with a bitter look on his face.

"Miura, is there no other way?"

"No, if I had, I would have done it already. But now we have no way to do anything. The medicine we applied for from our superiors has not arrived. They have used the excuse of insufficient medicine to not send us a single pill."

"Not only that, the higher-ups also accused us of not doing our job properly, causing panic throughout the county. They said we had to take responsibility, otherwise they would send us to a military court."

"Damn it, I'm so angry, so angry!"

Sanyo's face also turned ugly upon hearing this. His application had been rejected outright, and he even felt a bit pained, as he had really messed things up this time.

"Our superiors criticized our 'Longevity Plan' for being immature, which led to such a big problem. They demanded that we take responsibility for it ourselves, and that we were severely lacking in manpower, so they demanded that we solve the problem ourselves."

"They offered us nothing but verbal encouragement."

Sanyang smiled bitterly, only now realizing that their Changfeng County had been abandoned by the higher authorities.

Abandonment, though unspoken, was something both of them understood. "By the way, Miura, if the military police die again, they'll be almost wiped out. You need to think of something quickly! Didn't you do experiments here?"

"It's no use. We don't have an antidote at all, or even the means to make one, let alone any treatment. We don't even have the most basic medicines."

"Damn it, who stole our medicine and plunged our entire Changfeng County into despair? I estimate that in another two days, who knows how many more people will die in the county."

"The Chinese are dead if they die, but the warriors of the empire really cannot die, otherwise we really have no way to explain to our superiors."

"Have you had anyone research this virus? If a better solution can't be found, the entire county may be ruined, and you and I will be nailed to the pillar of shame of the empire."

"I understand, but we lack talent in this area!"

"Alas, that's true, there really isn't anyone with that kind of talent!"

The two men understood each other perfectly when they thought about talented people, but they were completely clueless about what to do next.

After all, this is just a small county town, an inland county town that is not very famous. In the past, very few people would have paid attention to it.

"Alright, I haven't finished dealing with things on my end yet. You can take your time here and take care of your business!"

"it is good!"

Sanyo also left helplessly. He went down to the first floor and looked around. The first floor was as quiet as a chicken coop. There wasn't even a nurse, let alone anyone to move around.

"Ugh!"

He sighed, then walked straight out the gate, got into his car, and headed directly to the military police headquarters.

It's not far, only ten minutes away.

……

"Old Liu, the situation is getting more and more critical, and you're still sitting here in a daze. Don't you have a heart?"

Old Zhou watched as Old Liu sat there drinking tea, not even lifting his eyelids, and he became somewhat anxious. Clearly, he hadn't expected things to be so much more serious than he had imagined.

"Old Zhou, what's the use of your anxiety? Can you save people? Can you prepare medicine? Or will your arrival cure people infected with the virus?"

"The hospital has no solution, so what can you, a secondhand traditional Chinese medicine doctor, possibly do? You don't really think you can help just because you want to, do you?"

Old Liu glared at him irritably and continued drinking his tea, but his expression was still somewhat forlorn.

"Not only that, do you think the Japanese didn't want to save people, or did they want to let their soldiers get infected with the virus and not try to save them?"

"You think too highly of yourself. Don't you know your own limitations?"

"Old Liu, what are you saying? Don't I want to do my part too?"

"I'm doing this out of kindness, understand? I'm just being kind!"

"You mean well, but are you going to help instead of causing trouble, or do you just want one more lost soul or wronged spirit to satisfy you?"

"You know better than I how to deal with infected people, and you've seen it with your own eyes. Do you think we can still go out for a walk now?"

Old Liu glared at him, then leisurely sipped his tea, and picked up a classic novel to read.

After all, what happened here was truly astonishing, and even internal and external communication had been severed.

"Is there really no other way?"

"No, no!" (End of Chapter)
