Chapter 1025 - I’ll just go in alone

Time passed until it was afternoon.

“Teacher, we’re reaching soon.” Zhao Ming Qing had been looking at the map the whole time. When he saw that there were just a few kilometers left, he started to get nervous.

“What is it? Are you still a little nervous?” Lin Fan said with a laugh. It was an influenza after all. If they don’t manage to cure it, they would get infected as well. Hence, whenever a big influenza appeared in a place, the first line of medical personnel to charge in were all very brave.

After all, just because one was a doctor didn’t mean that he or she wouldn’t get infected.

“A little bit. But it’s fine,” replied Zhao Ming Qing.

Even after studying Chinese medicine for so many years, he had never come across such an experience. After all, it was Chinese medicine. Whenever a major problem popped up, he definitely wouldn’t be the one to research it.

Lin Fan patted Zhao Ming Qing’s shoulder. “Relax. With me around, it will be fine. This influenza is actually nothing much.”

This wasn’t just bragging. He really believed that. After all, with his current abilities, if he had to panic over a small thing like an influenza, he would just find a hole to bury himself.

Leukemia was difficult to cure. People had researched it for decades but still couldn’t completely conquer it. On the other hand, influenzas would only catch people unprepared. In the end, after a period of time, people were sure to be able to resolve it.

Hence, the only difficult part about the influenza was that it was foreign.

If anyone else had said that, Zhao Ming Qing wouldn’t believe it. But these words had come from his teacher’s mouth. Hence, he had unwavering faith in those words.

Very soon, they reached the scene.

Li Chong was the Commander of this quarantine operation. When he saw a car slowly approaching from the distance, he quickly stuck out his arm and gestured for them to turn back.

But when he realized that they wouldn’t leave, he frowned. What are they trying to do?

Could they be reporters?

But that shouldn’t be the case. Which reporter would dare to come here now? Is getting the news more important than their lives?

When Li Chong saw an old man come out of the car, he was confused. He had no idea what this old man wanted. “Mister, you can’t go in here. Please go back.”

Zhao Ming Qing said, “I’m a Chinese doctor. My teacher and I are here to look at the situation of the influenza.

When Li Chong heard that, he was immediately touched. At the same time, he really admired them.

After all, everyone was quick to avoid this influenza. Now that such an old man had come with his medicine box to see the sick, he couldn’t help but be touched and shocked.

But the current situation wasn’t one that could be resolved with Chinese medicine.

“Mister, you have a goodwill but the government has already formed a specialist team that is tackling the influenza now. So there’s no need for this. Go back,” said Li Chong.

Zhao Ming Qing waved his hand. “No. My teacher and I came from far away just to resolve this. How can we go back?”

Li Chong was taken aback. He hadn’t expected this old man to have come with his teacher. It seemed that it would be another old man. This situation put him in a tough spot.

Then, Lin Fan came out from the car and walked towards Li Chong. “Hello, I’m Lin Fan. We came from Shanghai to look at the situation here.”

Li Zhong was about to open his mouth but when he saw the opposite party’s face, he was startled and speechless. After a long silence, he finally regained his senses.

“Are you Master Lin?” Li Chong had heard of Master Lin before but he had never been like those fans who chased their idols crazily. However, when something like this happened, his heart was filled with anxiety. After all, he hadn’t received any updates in a long time and he had no idea when this influenza would be conquered.

Then, he started to think. Can the Master Lin who cured leukemia also cure this influenza?

“Mmm, I am.” Lin Fan smiled. In his heart, he was mumbling to himself. Looks like I’m quite famous. Even in this kind of small place, there’s someone who knows me.

Actually, if he had only received the Nobel Prize or cured leukemia, no one would know who he was.

The main thing was that he was in the headlines every day. Anyone using their phones who paid even a bit of attention to the news would have seen him.

For example, the important leaders of the country might not even be known by those who didn’t pay attention to the news. If you asked those forty or fifty-year-old men and women if they knew some of the celebrities on the Internet, they would be dumbfounded.

They would have no idea who they were.

But for Lin Fan to be known by the masses, it was because he had done many major things. Li Chong had noticed this and that was why he had recognized Lin Fan with one look.

“Master Lin, why did you come here?” Li Chong was forty-something and close to fifty but he was still young at heart. He liked to follow the news on the Internet. However, he knew that the government hadn’t asked Master Lin for help.

“Huang Yun Town’s Mayor says that he’s my fan. He told me about the situation here. Since I saw that my fan was in trouble, how could I just sit still in Shanghai? That’s why I immediately drove here,” explained Lin Fan.

“Huh?” Li Chong was stunned. Then, he thought for a moment before saying, “Master Lin, Shanghai is close to 2 kilometers away from here. You just drove here?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “Let’s not talk about all this for now. What’s the situation in Huang Yun Town.”

When he heard Master Lin ask about this, Li Chong’s expression turned serious. “There are 10058 people in Huang Yun Town. There are now more than 3000 people infected. The remaining have mild influenza symptoms. This infection rate is very high but luckily, the Mayor has calmed the townspeople. Also, the townspeople are willing to cooperate with us. They’ve stayed inside and haven’t come out the whole time. If a conflict happens, we wouldn’t be able to manage it.”

“They’ve all been infected?” Zhao Ming Qing was taken aback and in disbelief. “It’s only been a few days. This infection rate is too great, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, the infection rate is great indeed. It’s very dangerous,” said Li Chong. He felt that this infection rate was too great as well. Since when had there been such a powerful influenza? In just a few days, a whole town had been infected.

Moreover, they had even had people go in to sterilize the place but the virus couldn’t be exterminated. This showed that this virus was very strong and very resilient.

Lin Fan thought for a moment before saying. “Alright, enough talk. If we delay any further, who knows what will happen? Ming Qing, give me the equipment. I’m going in to take a look.”

“Teacher, if you go in, what about me?” Zhao Ming Qing was anxious. He had come all the way here as well. He couldn’t just stay outside.

“Don’t go in. If you get infected, who will handle the things at the end?” said Lin Fan.

Li Chong said anxiously, “Master Lin, wait a moment. This isn’t a joke. Once you go in, you won’t be able to come out before there is a solution.”

Lin Fan laughed. “Don’t worry. I’m going in to resolve this. If I couldn’t resolve this, why would I even be here?”

“Alright, enough talk. Ming Qing, wait outside. Keep in contact through the phone. If I need anything, you shall help me prepare them.”

Zhao Ming Qing said, “Teacher, I’ll go in with you. With me around, at least you’ll have an assistant.”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “It’s really not needed.”

Li Chong said, “Master Lin, please wear a protective uniform.”

“I don’t need it. It’ll affect my movements,” said Lin Fan.

“Then wear a mask.” Li Chong was a little stunned. He felt as if this Master Lin wasn’t afraid at all.

Lin Fan smiled. “What’s the use of a mask? The infection is so strong, it probably isn’t reliant on saliva transmission.”
