Chapter 740 - Strange (2)

Chen Che looked at Yang Linhai with a smile on his face, as if he could read what was on his mind.

Yu Tao immediately calmed down after being reprimanded by Yang Linhai, but he still looked very worried.

"Base chief, some elderly and children are sick. Their bodies are very hot and they're unconscious."

"What did the doctor say?" Yang Linhai asked indifferently, without any concern in his eyes.

Yes, he didn't care at all. They were just some old people and children. In his eyes, these people were a burden to the base, and he would usually just say a few words of concern out of necessity.

Judging by the way Yang Linhai was responding, Yu Tao knew that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"Base chief, the doctor said he can't find the cause, and there are a large number of people who are sick, practically more than half of the elderly and children in the base. Base chief, there is something very wrong about this."

At first Yang Linhai thought it was a small issue, but when he heard what Yu Tao said, he was surprised. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier? Quick, bring me there to take a look."

Yang Linhai felt a chill behind his back and he began breaking out in cold sweat. If he didn't handle this issue properly, his position as base chief would probably be lost.

Originally, because of the incident with Z-City and Dr. Lin, his reputation had dropped quite a bit. Right now, with this matter, Yang Linhai felt that someone was probably secretly plotting against him.

But right now wasn't the time for his conspiracy theories. It was more important to deal with this matter.

Not only did Yu Tao feel that something was wrong, even Chen Che also felt the same way. He felt that this issue had something to do with the Venus flytraps outside.

But exactly who was targeting the base?

Chen Che didn't understand.

He went with Yang Linhai to the only hospital in the base, which was established three years ago. Although the equipment was not comparable with the previous large hospital, it was still pretty good.

Right now, however, there were tons of people outside the hospital, moaning in pain and crying.

Other people couldn't help feeling jittery.

Chen Che looked, and the people who were sick were indeed elderly and children, but there were more children present. Chen Che knew in his heart that many households probably weren't willing to send the elderly to the hospital. Hospital bills were expensive, after all.

Director Han was also very busy. So many children and old people had fallen sick overnight, and most importantly, he didn't know what the cause was. Seeing their flushed faces, he could only begin with giving them a drip.

"Director Han, what's going on now?" Seeing this scene, Yang Linhai became very anxious. With so many people sick, it was no longer a small matter.

When Director Han Guang saw Yang Linhai, he handed over his current duties over to the nurse, wiping the sweat off of his face as he walked toward Yang Linhai.

"Base chief, the situation is bad ah. There are simply too many patients here and the medicine we have will only last a couple of days. Also, we don't know what the cause of this illness is at the moment."

Han Guang was also worried. There were so many children and old people. Just how many lives were in their hands ah? This illness had come so suddenly, and they couldn't find the cause at all.

Yang Linhai thought about it and asked, "Could it be a viral infection? These last few days, it's been chilly in the morning and night, and very hot during the afternoon. They might have caught a cold."

"No way," Han Guang retorted with a red face. "I have been a doctor for 20 years. How could I be unable to diagnose even a common cold?"

Yang Linhai's words, in Han Guang's opinion, were simply an insult to his medical skills.
