Lord of the Oasis

Kant shook his head at the end, opened the curtain and walked out.

And walked out of the camp.

Kant, who took off his overalls, asked the captain of the medical team: "Is it now confirmed that this soldier is infected with the plague?"

"Yes. It can basically be confirmed." The captain of the medical team replied heavily.

"So, did any of the medical soldiers who took care of this soldier last night also be infected with this disease?" Kant hesitated and asked.

The medical captain took a deep breath and replied: "Although no early signs of the disease outside the body have been found, in order to ensure that the virus is not leaked, the three soldiers who took care of the soldier last night have been taken to other tents. They are quarantined inside. We will confirm their physical conditions at any time."

What happened on the way back was a heavy blow to the person in charge of the medical corps.

Now we can only pray that this situation is still within control.

Kant nodded and asked worriedly: "Based on the current situation: Will the illness of the soldier in the camp pose a life threat to him?"

"The patient's body temperature has been far higher than a normal person's standard question. Now the functions of various systems in the body are gradually weakening. It may not last two days." The medical captain replied.

Kant frowned tightly. The severity of this sudden plague was far beyond his expectation.

"The plague is still controlled within a few people, so we must not let it continue to spread." Kant warned sternly.

"Take the order," the medical captain replied.

Returning to his tent, Kant immediately sent a message to the captain of the guard, asking him to come see him immediately.

Kant sat in front of the desk, supporting his forehead with his hands, immersed in worries.

"Lord." After a while, the captain of the guard arrived in front of the camp.

"Come in." Kant said.

The captain of the guard walked to Kant's table and knelt down to salute.

"You know what happened in the army, right?" Kant said after gesturing for him to stand up.

"yes,

Heard the news from the soldiers in the medic corps. "The guard captain's tone also sounded a bit heavy.

"Do your soldiers also know?" Kant raised his head and asked.

"No, just to prevent panic. The news didn't spread anymore," the captain of the guard replied.

"Yes." Kant nodded and said: "I came to you this time to ask you to help search for information about soldiers infected with the plague. It is up to you to go to the infected soldier's companions and ask: How many days did this soldier live? He started to feel uncomfortable before, where was his main activity place in the past few days."

"Received, does the lord have any other arrangements?" the captain of the guard asked.

"Well, I am issuing an order to all soldiers not to approach the tents where soldiers infected with the plague are. Anyone who violates the rules will be dealt with according to military law." Kant ordered sternly.

"Take orders."

After receiving the mission, the captain of the guard immediately said goodbye and left the camp.

In Kant's mind: He knew very well how severe the harm of the plague could be. Even the most glorious cities in ancient civilizations were almost destroyed by an outbreak of plague.

Nowadays, their group is still trekking in the desert, and the medical equipment they bring with them is relatively simple. It has no use at all in the face of such an infectious disease.

The lives of the soldiers infected with the plague could not be saved. They could only hope that people carrying the virus would not be brought into the main city by mistake.

In the afternoon, the captain of the guard returned to Kant's camp with the collected information.

"How is it?" Kant asked.

"Two soldiers who were close to the infected soldier said: About three days ago, the soldier seemed to have become weaker, coughed frequently, and told others that his chest hurt. But they They thought it was a common illness caused by the temperature difference in the desert, so everyone just suggested that the soldier go to the medical team to get some cough medicine. They didn't care much about it anymore. Until later, the soldier stopped eating and drinking for a whole day and walked with him. The soldier noticed the abnormality and when he took him back to the camp to rest, the soldier fainted from heatstroke."

"Well, so did the soldier drink the cough medicine the medical team gave him?" Kant thought for a while and asked.

"I didn't drink it. We found the original medicine bottle in the soldier's storage cabinet, and the medicine inside was untouched." The captain of the guard replied and added: "I heard from other people: It seems that this soldier has never been very fond of drinking medicine. .”

"Okay, go on," Kant replied.

"Then I asked them about the scope of the soldier's activities in the past few days, and they said they didn't know much about it. Because the soldier usually walked around the military camp after lunch or dinner. Specifically, he went They haven't followed him to see anywhere." The captain of the guard continued to state.

"Then the cause of this plague infection must remain a mystery." Kant thought silently.

"The soldiers accompanying me didn't seem to know that someone in the army was infected with the plague. When I told them not to go near the tent where the medical soldiers were stationed, they still asked me how this soldier was doing." The captain of the guard continued.

"Okay, you can tell the captain of the medical team what you know as soon as possible. This is relatively important information for him." Kant explained.

"Take your orders." The captain of the guard responded.

Kant followed the captain of the guard out of the camp and watched him leave.

I looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost dusk now.

Because something like this happened suddenly, the progress of today's day was also delayed.

I don’t know how the medical soldiers are handling the situation.

Kant was walking in the military camp when he happened to see medical soldiers wearing protective clothing coming out of a tent with a pile of soldiers' clothes, equipment, etc., and walked outside the military camp to collect everything. Throw it into the previously lit fire.

Kant took a few steps in that direction, and heard a guard followed closely by the leading medical soldier and yelled: "Why do you need to burn all these things?!"

The medical soldier didn't say a word, but continued to throw the things in his hands into the fire in silence.

Thick smoke rose above the flames, and the medical soldiers near the fire quickly took two steps back. The guard who kept shouting questions was also pulled away from the scene by several medical soldiers.

Kant witnessed the whole process and sighed in his heart.

After all, in the end, even the infected soldier's body will be buried in a fire in the wilderness.
