1382 Unknown Illness
At the border, Bo Xiao was patrolling the surroundings with his subordinates.
“Sir.” The subordinate walked over and reported the situation to Bo Xiao. “When we arrived, the people from the surrounding village had already left.”
Bo Xiao looked into the distance quietly. “There’s no trace at all?”
“No.” The subordinate shook his head. “We didn’t find any other traces. According to the information we gathered, the village here ran away because they made illegal drugs. Now that they heard the news, they ran away.”
Bo Xiao did not believe it. He frowned slightly. “Even if they ran, it’s impossible for a few villages to run away without a trace.”
“But this place is adjacent to the Black Triangle. It’s also possible that they formed a group and left the border to the surrounding countries.”
There had been all sorts of sneaky crossings in the border town here for a long time. It was not impossible for such a phenomenon to cross the border to escape capture.
Bo Xiao considered this possibility, but he felt a little uneasy. “Search again and focus on the people crossing the border.”
“Yes.”
After his subordinate left, Bo Xiao went to the quarantine hospital to check on the injured villagers.
“Have you found out the reason?” Looking at the bruised patient in the ward, Bo Xiao’s expression was solemn.
The doctor shook his head helplessly. “We took samples of these patients, but we couldn’t find the source of the virus in the end. From the current situation, it’s very likely an unknown new virus.”
Although Bo Xiao was not a doctor and had been on missions for a long time, he still had some understanding of these sudden situations. What he was most concerned about now was…
“Is this unknown illness contagious?”
Speaking of this, the doctor shook his head. “From the current situation, it shouldn’t be contagious. There are more factories here. Our preliminary diagnosis is that they became like this because they consumed an overly polluted water source.”
In the ward, the patient roared in pain. Bo Xiao glanced at the ward. “Then hurry up and develop a way to treat the illness. You have to figure out the source of this virus as soon as possible.”
Some viruses might not be harmful at first, but who knew what it would become after time.
Bo Xiao did not want to cause a greater disaster because of a little negligence in his work.
“Yes.” The doctor nodded. “Don’t worry, we’ve already gathered and isolated all the infected people. We’ve also gathered and sealed the hospital here.”
“That’s good.” The patient in the ward was still howling. Bo Xiao turned around and strode away.
After Bo Xiao left, the doctor gathered the others in the hospital and began to work overtime to test and study ways to deal with this unknown illness.
After leaving the hospital, Bo Xiao underwent a complete disinfection before returning to the camp.
He had been out on missions the entire day and finally had some time. He picked up his phone and saw that there was a call from An Rao.
Bo Xiao called An Rao on WeChat and the call was picked up instantly.
An Rao’s smiling face appeared in the camera. “Hubby!”
Seeing the background behind An Rao, Bo Xiao smiled. “You went to the manor again.”
“That’s right.” An Rao pulled Xia Wanyuan’s arm. “I came to see Yuan Yuan. Let me tell you, Yuan Yuan’s child is so cute. I’m unbalanced. Our Xiao Qingli didn’t look so good in a few days. Her daughter is so beautiful. I’ve already booked a betrothal…”
An Rao was talkative to begin with. After not seeing Bo Xiao for so many days, she had countless thoughts she wanted to share with him.
Bo Xiao listened quietly and looked at the smiling An Rao in the camera. Bo Xiao’s eyes were quite gentle.
After a while, seeing that Bo Xiao was silent after saying so much, An Rao coughed in embarrassment. “What’s wrong with you? I’ve said so much, why didn’t you say a word? You made me so embarrassed.”
Bo Xiao smiled and looked at An Rao intently. “An Rao.”
“Mm?” An Rao replied and raised an eyebrow.
“Thank you,” Bo Xiao said quietly.
Just these two words were like a switch that instantly froze An Rao. Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the joy she had pretended to have collapsed.
An Rao liked to have others accompany her the most. When Bo Xiao was at home, An Rao would share all sorts of strange thoughts with Bo Xiao every day.
Now that Bo Xiao was out on a mission, she did not want Bo Xiao to worry, but she could not suppress her longing for him. She had always wanted to share what had happened recently with Bo Xiao.
Initially, if Bo Xiao did not say anything, she could always pretend to be happy, but Bo Xiao had exposed this layer.
“Bo Xiao, you’re so annoying.” An Rao’s voice was clearly filled with tears.
Bo Xiao’s eyes were gentle. “I’m going out for an inspection soon. I’ll contact you next time I’m free.”
“Mm.” An Rao carried the child over for Bo Xiao to take a look. “Work in peace. I’m doing quite well. I’m preparing to accompany Yuan Yuan in the manor for the next two days.”
“Okay.” Bo Xiao smiled, put on his hat, and walked into the night sky after hanging up.
On the other hand, looking at the hung up phone, An Rao was a little empty.
Xia Wanyuan walked over and patted An Rao’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, he’ll definitely be safe.”
An Rao sniffed. “Yuan Yuan, am I an unqualified military wife? I think other people understand their husbands quite well. Why do I think of Bo Xiao like this?”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and stroked An Rao’s hair. “Silly, it would be strange if you didn’t miss him.”
An Rao snorted softly. “Forget it, I was the one who asked him to pursue his dream. I can’t hold him back. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Didn’t you ask me to help you watch the movie ‘Under the Sky’? Where is it? I want to watch it.”
The sample of “Under the Sky” had already been sent to Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan had been relatively busy recently and did not have time to care about this matter. Coincidentally, An Rao had come over today, so Xia Wanyuan found a companion to review this television drama.
Xia Wanyuan sat on the sofa while An Rao went to get fruits and pastries. As she munched on melon seeds, she leaned on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder and watched the television drama.
As the magnificent music sounded, An Rao was gradually attracted by the television drama in front of her.
Two hours later, An Rao held the melon seeds skin in one hand and the empty cup in the other as she looked straight at the television screen in front of her.
“Yuan Yuan, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you’re too amazing. Why is your television drama so good!! Boohoo, what’s the next episode??”
