Chapter 1013 Infection
"What’s going on with Mayor Ji Xiang?"
The three doctors were naturally anxious when they heard that many people in the village were sick.
Mayor Ji Xiang sighed.
"Just three days ago, for some unknown reason, a disease suddenly spread through the village. It started with vomiting and diarrhea, and later progressed to high fevers and comas. At first, it was only one household experiencing these symptoms, and we thought it was just food-related.
In our village, with vomiting and diarrhea, families usually just endure it at home, rest for a couple of days, and recover.
But by yesterday, suddenly, many households in the village started having these symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and high fevers. The father from that initial household was the first to fall ill, and now he’s already gone."
Mayor Ji Xiang’s words immediately put Bai Xiao and the others on alert.
The symptoms didn’t sound very serious, but the more they listened, the more it seemed like an epidemic.
If this disease really spreads, it would be very troublesome.
"Mayor, we need to do two things right now. First, take us to see the patients, including the one who first died since he hasn’t been buried yet according to what you said. Second, immediately lock down the entire village so no one can leave or enter. Make sure to inspect each household to see who has fallen ill. Everyone affected must be reported."
Bai Xiao and Dr. Zhang instinctively realized something was quite wrong.
Mayor Ji Xiang was startled.
