Pollution throughout the territory - #317 - Chapter 313 Plague Scholar
“That’s not OK.”
Unexpectedly, he declined.
Xia Ren sighed, feeling a little regretful.
He returned to the topic and asked, “What do you mean by assessing a disease?”
Niu Changshou straightened his collar and said: “I told you just now that some pollutants will cause multiple infections after infecting humans. This is very valuable experimental data and an important way for us to understand pollution.
Dongpu City has recently diagnosed many weird cases, which have reached our alert standards. Therefore, in order to confirm whether it is really caused by pollution, professionals need to conduct evaluations, and I am the epidemic scholar responsible for evaluating the cases… . “
“Plague scholar?”
Xia Ren thought about this title for a while, “It sounds quite high-quality.”
At this time, the food was almost served. He greeted everyone and said while eating: “So what is the disease?”
Niu Changshou shook his head: “I don’t know yet. I am planning to go to the doctor here today to learn more about the situation.”
Xia Ren thought for a moment and said, “Okay, since we have nothing to do anyway, we will just accompany you around.
However, this should be an internal matter within your World Superman Association. Why would you trust me? “
“You still don’t understand the relationship between your foundation and our Superman Association.”
Niu Changshou explained with a smile: “Although they are two independent organizations, in fact, we help each other many times. This kind of thing is a secret that ordinary people cannot know, but you are the foundation People who know how to do it will be different, and if the plague is really caused by pollution, your foundation will also get busy together.”
After all, he had too little information. Even though Niu Changshou thought what he said was clear enough, Xia Ren still seemed to understand.
“Then how do you keep the Superman Association running?”
Could it be that, like foundations, most of them rely on donations or generate electricity from love?
“You underestimate us.”
Niu Changshou seemed to like answering people’s questions and said: “The World Superman Association has developed for so many years, and has also cooperated with the Supreme Alliance government. Over time, we have secretly mastered more than 45% of the medical treatment in the entire Blue Star. Institutions and all medical systems are under our monitoring, so we don’t have to worry about money at all.”
Forty-five percent of all medical institutions in Blue Star…
Xia Ren calculated in his mind that medical institutions include pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, pharmacies… and so on.
It is difficult to calculate the profit in one day, let alone one month.
“So you make money like this.”
Xia Ren sighed subconsciously.
“Isn’t it the same with your foundation? As soon as there is a pollution incident, you step in to investigate. When the situation is a little more serious, you take over the entire area. Now three percent of the living area in Blue Star belongs to your foundation. We acquire it. You have to spend money and so on, but you are completely unreasonable and just monopolize the real estate.”
“One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed.”
Xia Ren nodded.
He remembered the previous Dawn Center. After the incident, the Foundation immediately stepped in and took over the school and part of the nearby area.
Xia Ren did not pay attention to the Shuguang Center afterwards, but that training institution should have become the property of the foundation as Niu Changshou said.
Because her eating appearance in the morning attracted a lot of attention, Lu Yi was afraid that Xia Ren would dislike her and stop hiring her, so her eating appearance this time was much more ladylike, but her appetite did not change. Xia Ren kept asking She bought four bowls of rice, and she and Lily ate them all.
“It’s okay, eat slowly, there will be more after you finish.”
Xia Ren was afraid that she would choke and affect her eating efficiency, so she thoughtfully brought her a cup of tea.
After finally being able to have a free meal, he naturally hopes that he can eat as much as he can and replenish energy. It is not his own money anyway.
“Thank you boss, the boss is so kind!”
Lu Yi raised his head and said something, then continued eating.
Niu Changshou sat across from him, and he didn’t touch the food on the table.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Xia Ren asked.
Niu Changshou looked at Lu Yi’s full of appetite with a bit of envy in his eyes: “I don’t eat this. I usually drink the water directly.”
“So luxurious?”
Xia Ren was very surprised. He knew the importance of Mingshui, which was a scarce resource.
Niu Changshou rarely showed a wry smile and did not explain anything.
During the meal, they ate from close to eleven to eleven-thirty. The time was not too long, but the food they ate was very exaggerated.
“I won’t invite you to dinner next time.”
Niu Changshou held the long bill in his hand and said with a grimace.
Xia Ren laughed twice, skipped the topic, and said, “Don’t you want to evaluate the case? Where should we go next?”
…
…
Dongpu University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital.
Led by the white-haired vice dean, they entered a large conference room.
There were only two doctors wearing glasses sitting on the long conference table. They looked to be at least fifty years old.
The vice president introduced: “This is a Niu scholar, and the others are colleagues from the foundation.”
Both doctors had serious faces. They stood up and nodded, then sat back down again.
Niu Changshou seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time and didn’t care.
He clapped his hands, and the sound echoed in the somewhat empty conference room, “I also know that your time is precious, so there is no need to waste it. Please tell me the specific situation.”
“OK.”
The vice president also walked to the conference table, picked up the documents that had been prepared, and reported as a matter of routine:
“The earliest suspicious case can be traced back to a year ago. The first patient was 54 years old. He came to the hospital for diagnosis because of long-term chest pain. The symptoms lasted for about three months. After examination, he was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The cause of the disease is unknown. After being hospitalized for a week, the patient developed symptoms at night. He suffered a sudden epilepsy, brain death one hour later, followed by multiple organ failure and cardiac arrest. Because the family did not agree to the autopsy, no more information could be obtained.”
“The patients in the second case and the third case were hospitalized at a similar time. The patient in the second case was a 32-year-old male. He suffered severe head trauma in a car accident caused by fatigue driving. After more than ten hours of rescue, he was basically out of life. It was dangerous, but she suffocated to death with an oxygen tube inserted the night she was admitted to the ICU. The patient in the third case was a 9-year-old girl. Her parents discovered that she had sudden seizures every night for half a month. She yelled and was diagnosed with specific phobia by other hospitals. During the treatment, she was found to have respiratory failure during sleep many times, so she came to our hospital for treatment, but that night she was found to have jumped from the ward on the fifth floor to her death.”
“The autopsies of the patients in the second and third cases revealed abnormalities in the brain, and a large number of hollow-shaped holes appeared in the subcortex, which were suspected to be parasitized by some kind of parasite, but no parasites were found anywhere in the body.”
