Chapter 587: 587
“What is going on here?” Wang Yao couldn’t see the difference between these and other areas of the hill on the west side . The only thing was that he felt depressed when he was in those places, which made him uncomfortable .

Nothing grew in those places . They were completely deserted . The atmosphere was becoming even worse .
“No one should come here anymore,” Wang Yao said .
Something horrible had happened . If anyone got infected again, the consequences would be bad .
He left the hill on the west side and told what he had discovered to Wang Jianli, the village secretary . He needed Wang Jianli to make an announcement .
“Yao, I don’t quite understand what you told me . Tell me the truth, what will happen if someone approaches those places?” Wang Jianli asked .
“They will become as crazy as that dead sheep and Chen Jiagui,” Wang Yao said .
“OK, I see . ” Wang Jianli immediately got what Wang Yao meant and how serious things were .
A thought suddenly occurred to Wang Jianli . “But, you’ve been to those places . ”
“I just observed those places from a distance,” Wang Yao said .
“I see . That’s good,” Wang Jianli said .
He acted fast . First, he arranged some people to come to the village from the town center .
“What?” Those people couldn’t believe what Wang Jianli told him . “Are you kidding me? Is this fantasy or real?”
However, they eventually took Wang Jianli’s words seriously since they didn’t want to take any risks . What happened to Chen Jiagui was the best evidence . If the disease broke out, they wouldn’t be able to take the consequences . They were not stupid .
“I see . We will report to our superior . You can take us there if required,” one of the men said .
“OK,” Wang Jianli said .
Another group of local officers soon came to the village . This time, they took some of Chen Jiagui’s tissue back to the laboratory in town .
“What the hell is this?” The laboratory assistant was shocked when she saw Chen Jiagui’s blood under microscope .
“What happened?” the laboratory director asked .

“Chief, come take a look,” the laboratory assistant said .
“Holy sh*t!” The laboratory director, who was in his 40s, couldn’t help but curse .
He immediately rang his superior .
“We have to report this to the city’s local government of the city,” the director said .
No one dared to delay such a serious thing .
The Haiqu local government quickly sent a team of specialists to Lianshan town center to read the report . In order to make sure no mistake had happened, or maybe because they doubted the expertise of the laboratory in Lianshan, they sent a blood sample to Haiqu
“This is a horrible virus,” the Haiqu laboratory director said .
Even more concerning was that they couldn’t find the same type of virus in the archive . This indicated that the virus was completely new to them and extremely contagious .
“I think we should report it to the senior office of the local government,” a laboratory assistant said .
“OK,” the laboratory director said .
The local government in Haiqu took immediate action . A team of specialists arrived in the village late afternoon to meet with personnel from the county’s Health Department . They went to Chen Jiagui’s house together .
“Sis, another group of doctors came,” Chen Zhou said to his sister . He happened to bump into the people on his way out .
“It looks like the issue is serious,” Chen Ying said .
“Sis, do you think the village is going to be isolated?” Chen Zhou asked .
“Possibly,” Chen Ying said .
If the virus was highly contagious, this small village would probably become a quarantine area .
“Shall we tell Dr . Wang about it?” Chen Zhou asked .
“I think Dr . Wang already knows,” Chen Ying said .

“Isolation?” Wang Yao was surprised when he received a call from Pan Jun .
“Yes, I heard it from a friend . They haven’t made the final decision yet . Is it serious?” Pan Jun asked .
“Yes,” Wang Yao said .
“Let me know if there is anything I can help with,” Pan Jun said .
“OK, I will,” Wang Yao said .
Quarantine . Wang Yao looked up at the sky, which had started to darken .
His parents asked him about the disease during dinner . After all, two groups of doctors had come into the village and made a big scene . This was the first time their village had attracted so many medical staff . They knew something was happening .
“They came because of Chen Jiagui . His condition was horrible,” Wang Yao said . “It is highly contagious . The group of people who came earlier were from the county . The other group is from the city . If the virus doesn’t get controlled and another case is found, our village will become a quarantine area . ”
“Quarantine area?” Zhang Xiuying sounded nervous . “So, we won’t be allowed to leave the village?”
“Correct,” Wang Yao said .
“Is it gonna become that serious?” Wang Fenghua put down his chopsticks .
“Probably,” Wang Yao said .
Meanwhile, Chen Jiagui’s house had been blocked .
“No one is allowed to enter this house,” the city specialist said before leaving .
The specialists had seen Chen Jiagui’s body lying on the bed . To be honest, they were scared themselves . After all, they had never come across this kind of situation before . The virus was horrible . In less than three days, a sheep and a person had died because of it . It was too much for them to handle . None of them wanted to stay in the house for too long . Therefore, they didn’t bother to take a good look in the house and left with simple instructions .
After a discussion, the group of Haiqu specialists decided to ask for assistance from the province .
“What? They’ve gone back? They just left us here watching the house?” a Lianshan doctor complained .
“Hey, they are from the city . Who will give a damn about us?” another Lianshan doctor asked .

It started to get late . Wang Yao left his house at about 9 p . m . He took several bags with him .
“What do you need those bags for?” Zhang Xiuying curiously asked .
“To load soil,” Wang Yao said .
He headed south after he had left his house . He didn’t change his direction to west until he arrived at the south end of the village . No one was on the street at this time of day, but most houses had lights on .
Woof! Woof! Woof! Dogs barked from time to time .
Wang Yao went to the hill on the west by himself . He went to the pit . In just a moment, he was inside the pit .
He had a shovel in his hand . He shoveled some soil into a bag and then stored it into the system . He planned to take the soil back to Nanshan Hill to test it . He had taken the soil to a laboratory to test before . The result suggested that the soil was toxic and unsuitable to grow anything in . However, the result didn’t suggest the toxin was contagious and could kill animals .
He took the soil samples back to Nanshan and entered his Spirit Gathering Battle Array .
“San Xian!” He summoned his dog . “Come here to take a look at this!”
Woof! Woof! Woof!
San Xian was unsettled after sniffing the soil in the bag . It was as if there was a bomb in the soil .
“No good?” Wang Yao asked .
Woof! Woof! San Xian kept barking .
“I see . ” Wang Yao patted San Xian’s head and put the samples away .
How should I test it? Wang Yao kept thinking about it . He didn’t go to sleep until late that night .
Meanwhile, some people couldn’t sleep at all .
It was a bit gloomy the next morning .
“It’s about to rain . ” Wang Yao looked up at the sky .
It started to rain after 9 a . m . Wang Yao saw a car coming into the village from the north .
Here comes another group of people .
“The rabbit? What do you need the rabbit for? The one you brought from the hill is still here,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I need it . Can you buy several more rabbits back?” Wang Yao asked .
“What do you want to do with them? You want to eat rabbit meat?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“No, I need them to be alive for my experiment,” Wang Yao said .
“I see,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“You are so cute!” Wang Yao looked at the small rabbit in the cage . “It might hurt . ”
He brought the rabbit back to Nanshan Hill .
“Oh my god, what happened to him?” a Qi Province specialist asked . The group of specialists traveled overnight to the village . They were checking Chen Jiagui’s body .
“Are you sure he only died four days ago?” one of the specialists asked .
“Well, I think so,” a Lianshan county doctor said .
“Are you absolutely sure?” a specialist asked .
“Well, not really . You know, look at his body . We really can’t be sure,” the doctor said .
The atmosphere was awkward outside Chen Jiagui’s house as the specialists held a meeting .
“We need to take the body away, but the body needs to be processed first,” one of the specialists said .
“Are you sure? This might be too risky,” one of the specialists said .
“Yes, it might be, but the body will help us study the virus,” the lead specialist said .
