"Until that day, I was infected with the plague by Xiaolian, and I found out that I was different from them. I took my blood for testing, and I only got the plague, while they were infected with two diseases at the same time!"

"Two epidemics?" Zhang Cheng asked puzzledly: "Your high fever symptoms are the same as theirs, except that you don't have the rash!"

"Well, that's why it's confusing, because the symptoms of this insect plague are also high fever, headache, body pain, vomiting and abdominal pain, including throat and lung symptoms are the same as the epidemic. Their nose bleeds and rashes are misdiagnosed as symptoms of the epidemic with high fever."

"In fact, they were infected with the epidemic and attacked by the insect plague, which caused such a serious reaction."

"Then how did this insect plague come about?" Liu Zhi asked.

"The rain this year was abnormal. It fell early and continuously, causing widespread flooding in the south. I think a lot of victims and livestock died, which led to the breeding of germs. In addition, the miasma in the south is serious, and there are many poisonous insects, which led to insect plagues. The refugees were infected with the insect plague, and when they went north, they were infected with the epidemic. The two epidemics combined to lead to such a serious situation." Bai Xin explained.

"Then why, Doctor Bai, you were only infected with one disease?" Liu Zhi was very confused.

"Because epidemics are transmitted through breathing, and this insect plague is transmitted through blood, we wore protective clothing, and the charity cemetery was disinfected, so we did not get infected with the insect plague. But that day, Xiaolian choked and took off my mask, and that's when I got infected with the epidemic!"

"So that's it! If it's just transmitted through blood, how is it transmitted?" Zhang Cheng thought of this and asked quickly.

"Mosquitoes!" said Bai Xin.

"Then it's impossible to guard against!" Everyone was shocked.

"It's not impossible to prevent. As long as we do a good job of disinfection, burning moxa, disinfecting, checking the sanitary water in each household, and building protective fences, we can sprinkle quicklime on the flooded houses in the south to prevent mosquitoes from breeding. After this period of time, the number of mosquitoes will decrease and their ability to spread will be weakened."

Bai Xin explained to them, but there were many things he couldn't explain clearly. Whether it was an epidemic or an insect plague, both were now self-limiting diseases. As long as they didn't occur at the same time, the occurrence of severe illness could be reduced.

"But doing so would be a bit of a fuss. After all, the insect plague cannot be proven to be contagious. If it is reported to the court, and there is no effect after all the operations, I will definitely be charged with deceiving the emperor." Liu Zhi looked at Ye Qi worriedly.

Ye Qi sat at the desk with a sullen face, thinking without saying a word.

"Then we should control it on a small scale first. We can control the insect epidemic in Pingyang Town first. After all, the range of mosquitoes is not large. As long as we control their reproduction and spread, and control the flow of infected people, and wait until the symptoms are reduced, we can carry out large-scale epidemic prevention."

"It's just that this door-to-door inspection and disinfection requires a lot of manpower. I wonder if General Ye can send someone to help?"

Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi. She couldn't explain it to them with experimental data, but the original incubation period of the insect plague might be more than seven days. Now with the epidemic, it would break out in about two days, so the prevention and control should be effective quickly. However, she didn't know whether Ye Qi would believe her.

If he really sent people to search the city, would he be criticized in the future? If there was no result, would someone with ulterior motives make a fuss about it? Bai Xin lowered his head, wondering if he should not have asked for help just now.

"Okay!" Ye Qi looked at her and replied.

Bai Xin raised her head, stared at him for a long time with her eyes flickering. When she lowered her head again, she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Thank you for your hard work, General!" After calming himself down, Bai Xin looked at Ye Qi again and said.

Then I arranged the things that needed to be done and the measures that needed to be taken one by one.

Ye Qi and his soldiers were indeed very efficient. Within a day or two, protective measures had been completed for the entire town.

As Bai Xin expected, after the insect prevention work was done, the number of new patients has been gradually decreasing. With a clue, antibiotics have been used according to the symptoms. The number of critically ill patients in the charity cemetery has also decreased, and some have even shown signs of improvement.

"You have no idea what's going on. You're showing off just because you feel better!" Li Ze looked at Bai Xin, who was leaning weakly on the sickbed, and blamed her.

This person, who could not walk steadily these past two days, started giving injections to patients. Others did show signs of improvement, but he himself remained listless.

"After this period, I'll be fine after two days of sleep!" Bai Xin said lightly. It's just that he had been working non-stop and had just recovered from a serious illness, so he didn't get enough rest.

"How did you know about the insect plague?" Li Ze asked.

"You forgot that we once went to tropical areas to carry out missions. Those places are prone to dengue fever. It was just that the virus here interfered with my vision at the time, which delayed me for some time." Bai Xin looked at him and said.

Li Ze gave her a thumbs up: "It has to be you!" Then he glanced at her again and continued to tease: "But General Ye, who dared to start a war to prevent the epidemic with just a few words from you, is not simple!"

Bai Xin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't he say that saving the people is also the responsibility of the subjects!"

"Oh, yes, so I heard that he has reported the situation today, and the entire Dome Country is doing epidemic prevention according to your statement!" Li Ze said playfully.

"You're too impatient!" Bai Xin said in a low voice, the corners of his mouth unable to stop rising.

"That shows my full trust in you!" Li Ze chuckled. The tacit understanding between the two of them was getting better and better.

Bai Xin didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so she just leaned on the bed and closed her eyes.

Suddenly, he heard some commotion outside the medical tent and Li Ze quickly ran out to see what was going on.

"Oh no, there's a fire around the charity cemetery!" Li Ze ran back and said anxiously.

Bai Xin suddenly came to her senses after hearing this: "Then you carry Xiaolian out first, and then go help Xiaomin transfer the patient. I'll pack up the case data here and leave right away!"

"Okay!" Li Ze said, and carried Xiaolian, who was lying on the other sickbed, out. Before leaving the tent, he turned back and asked softly, "Could it be that they put it there specially?"

Bai Xin was stunned while packing up her things, then said, "Let's go out first!"

He suppressed some emotions in his heart. The fire came in a strange way. It did not seem like an accidental fire. There was no sign before, but the entire surrounding area was on fire. It was meant to surround the charity cemetery.

While she was thinking, thick smoke was coming in from the gap under the medical tent. Bai Xin neatly packed up the medical records she usually sorted out and put them from the box into the experimental space. Then she ran out of the medical tent.

The entire charity cemetery was surrounded by thick smoke and raging flames. Since it was made entirely of wood and had many mosquito nets set up to prevent mosquitoes, the fire would quickly spread.
