Phantom

In the villa on the outskirts of the capital, Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua listened carefully to the events of [-].

The old principal Xu Jiaojiao closed her eyes and continued to recall: "I heard from Zhao Fenglian, the dean of the medical school, that the virus brought by Africa is extremely contagious. After the aid engineer died, several doctors and nurses who participated in the treatment at that time Due to inadequate protective measures, the staff also began to develop red rashes one after another. Soon the strange disease spread throughout the hospital. Afterwards, I basically couldn’t survive a week..."

Xu Jiaojiao's voice was very soft, and there was no blood on her face. Obviously, recalling that past event still made her shudder. Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua looked at each other, and they both read a trace of fear in each other's eyes. The instinct of an unknown deadly virus.

Xu Jiaojiao finally sighed: "Therefore, at the end of October 1980, the hospital saw that the situation was at great risk of getting out of control. Under the coordination of the city government, they found our medical school and hoped that the medical school would send infectious disease experts and professors. Gu Tianyu went to participate in this battle against the virus...Old Gu was the number one expert in the research and development of virus serum in China at that time..."

Ling Shuanghua couldn't help but said, "Is this too dangerous?"

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said: "That's right, but Professor Gu still went, he only said one reason, because he is a doctor, how can he shrink back in the face of a terrible disease? At that time, he brought three volunteer students together I went to the scene and participated in the desperate struggle against the virus with medical experts from other places. Finally, after two months, they successfully extracted the antiviral serum and firmly controlled the epidemic. However, The story has just begun..."

Lin Wenzhou and Ling Shuanghua sat up straight when they heard this, with very serious expressions.

Xu Jiaojiao's old voice continued to recall slowly: "These things just now are to briefly explain the background to you two. They all happened before January [-]th. As a member of the party group, I already knew Some sporadic ones. I remember that after New Year’s Day, after completing the antiviral serum, Gu Tianyu came back with three students. The school also discussed at the time that Professor Gu and the three students should be commended secretly. The reason for the secret is because the city government A document has been issued, requesting that this matter be suppressed, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it, so as not to cause social panic."

Lin Wenzhou nodded in understanding.He can totally imagine it.If the news leaks out, how much social turmoil will be caused. Infectious diseases have always been one of the terrible factors affecting social stability.

And in early [-].The domestic political situation is also very complicated, and indeed no one dares to make trouble at this time.

Xu Jiaojiao drank her saliva slowly, and continued: "However, the four of them refused the commendation. They locked themselves in a laboratory of the medical school as soon as they returned to school, and they did not touch anyone. Because Professor Gu said that the incubation period of the virus has not yet passed, the four of them decided to self-isolate and continue to observe, just in case the virus was transmitted to other students...In fact, they didn't want to go back to school at first, and wanted to stay in that research group They continued to study, but the leaders felt that the limelight had passed and the virus had been suppressed, so they decided to disband, and there was nothing they could do about it.”

Lin Wenzhou also sighed in his heart, this Gu Tianyu is really a person with a strong sense of responsibility, this kind of professional ethics and lofty quality are indeed worthy of appreciation.

Xu Jiaojiao changed her breath, and continued: "Then on the [-]th, something happened... Okay, let's go back to the emergency party group meeting, and Lao Zhao cried and told us that the four of them, Gu Tianyu, all started to appear red. rash, and it's almost gone..."

Lin Wenzhou felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley when he heard it, and he immediately said, "Didn't you have antiviral serum?"

Xu Jiaojiao said with a trace of sadness: "I also asked at the party group meeting, Lao Zhao told us with a sad face, and Gu Tianyu told him through the walkie-talkie that the virus on one of the four of them had mutated, and the original anti-virus The serum was no longer working, and three other people were subsequently infected with the new virus..."

Ling Shuanghua's face turned pale when she heard this, and she muttered: "It's a good thing I'm isolated..."

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said: "Indeed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, this is a university!"

Even though more than 30 years have passed, she still paused with some lingering fear, and continued after a short rest: "Because the place where Professor Gu and the others locked themselves up is a laboratory, so Professor Gu asked Lao Zhao to give us a report from the party group team. With a message, he strongly urges the party group to permanently close that laboratory and never open it to allow the virus to spread. He also said that he is very grateful for the continuous training and care of the party organization, but regrets that he cannot continue to serve the party and the country..."

Hearing this, Lin Wenzhou was also a little moved, but Ling Shuanghua was still the same, with a cold expression on his face.

Xu Jiaojiao's voice was also choked with sobs. It can be seen that even after a long time, she was still quite emotional when she recalled Professor Gu's sacrifice. Principal Gu, who has the best relationship with Gu, I think he is about to collapse."

Lin Wenzhou was also saddened. In the battle against this terrible virus, sacrifices are inevitable. I remember the massacre a few years ago, which also caused the sacrifice of many medical staff.

Xu Jiaojiao said with some sobs: "In the end, our party group meeting discussed and decided to respect the wishes of Gu Tianyu and those three students, and permanently close the medical laboratory. Come down...the three students will be treated as missing. It just so happens that they went to support the No.1 civilian hospital in Qingzhou City before it was also highly confidential...just after eleven o'clock in the evening on January [-]th, Professor Gu Tianyu died , I heard from Lao Zhao that when he left, his expression was very peaceful and satisfied, and in his words, he has lived up to the world in his life."

Xu Jiaojiao calmed down a little and said: "Later we reported the matter to the municipal government, and the leaders decided to secretly recognize the four as revolutionary martyrs. The municipal government will take the lead in giving special care to their families. As far as I know So far, the Qingzhou Municipal Government still allocates funds to those four families on a regular basis every month. It also takes care of Professor Gu’s descendants in various ways to mourn Professor Gu’s spirit in heaven... The seven members of our party group finally unanimously decided to name Professor Gu’s sacrifice as [-] incident."

Lin Wenzhou suddenly realized that this was the [-] incident.

But he immediately thought of a serious question, and said, "Is there a mutant virus in the hospital?"

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "Fortunately, according to the city government, there seems to be no virus mutations spreading there. In short, an epidemic was extinguished in time, and it was precisely because of the anti-virus serum developed by Gu Tianyu himself. , saving the lives of a large number of medical staff.”

Ling Shuanghua said in a low voice: "Then speaking of it, that Qiuzhi building..."

Xu Jiaojiao nodded and said: "Yes, you probably guessed it, our school can't publicly commend them, so everyone decided to build this building, just to commemorate Gu Tianyu and those three students, to express our school's respect for them I hope that future generations will never forget their sacrifices, their sacrifices are worthwhile, and they saved tens of thousands of lives."

After listening to Xu Jiaojiao's narration, Lin Wenzhou's heart was also surging. It turned out that there was such a secret behind the Qiuzhi Building. No wonder Qi Yueyi felt that the building was built like a monument or a tomb.

Lin Wenzhou couldn't help but asked, "Then, where is the laboratory where Professor Gu and the others locked themselves up?"

Xu Jiaojiao said: "Oh, I'm not very clear about the details. I remember I also asked how to deal with the laboratory? Lao Zhao replied that it was on the top floor of the medical building, but he reassured us that the virus cannot pass through the air. Transmission is mainly contact infection, but the chance of contact infection is much higher than that of ordinary viruses, and it has reached the point of indirect contact infection. Let me give you an example. Suppose I have a virus. I touched this cup just now. If the two of you If you touch it, there is a great chance of being infected..."

Lin Wenzhou thought for a while and said, "Oh, but no matter how powerful the virus is, it will always have a survival time outside the human body..."

Xu Jiaojiao said: "That's right, that's why Lao Zhao also said that as long as the laboratory is closed and no one is allowed to enter it, it will be completely safe after a while."

Lin Wenzhou nodded and stopped talking, but fell into deep thought. He always felt that something was wrong.

Xu Jiaojiao added: "Of course our school will not be reckless. After Professor Gu and those three students died, our school, the city government, and experts sent by the hospital discussed how to deal with their bodies. Our school The specific person in charge is Vice President Gu Jingcheng. They formed a special group to be responsible for the operation of this matter. I really don’t know how they dealt with it in the end, because this is highly confidential. The only thing I am sure of is that there is no After a while, the school officially launched the construction of the Qiuzhi Building, which is very efficient."

Suddenly Ling Shuanghua interjected: "Old principal, in that case, the 'non-existent classroom'..."

Xu Jiaojiao said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I really don't know."

Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the two young people, the old headmaster paused, and said seriously: "I also know what the students discovered in the next few years, and I even guessed that it is inextricably linked with the Qiuzhi Building back then. relationship, but to tell you the truth, each of our principals has received some confidential attention from the previous one and the city leaders, including this. My predecessor Lao Zhao and the then mayor talked with me together. They Seriously tell me that no student is allowed to investigate this 'non-existent classroom', and if they find out, they will be killed immediately in the cradle, at all costs!" (To be continued..)
