Although an armored car has dismantled its weapons, it is much better than an ordinary car. At least, it has thick skin and durability. On the way, it is not so easy to walk in the bustling urban area of ​​Shanghai. The road conditions are not so easy to walk in. The sedan has a low chassis and is not so suitable. Only trucks are easy to walk in.

Apart from the drivers, four more people were added, and the team of the volunteer medical team expanded again.

After planting the flag of the "Red Cross Volunteer Medical Team", Lu Xiyan, the captain of the medical team, announced his departure at the order.

The convoy drove out of the gate of Guangci Hospital and gathered many people along the streets, silently seeing off the volunteer medical team, adding a bit of tragic color.

Among the people who saw him off, Meng Fanxing almost couldn't help but shed tears.

It's really dangerous to go there, how can you not worry at all?

Meilong Town is affiliated to Caojing District, Shanghai, but it is already a suburb. It borders Songjiang County and is about 60 miles away from the city.

If you walk, it will take at least one day, and if you want a car, it will take at least two or three hours. This is already fast.

The convoy probably departed from Guangci Hospital at about 8 a.m. It would be nice to arrive at noon, not to mention that there are still some sections of road along the way that are difficult to walk.

The most troublesome thing is the various levels and inspections set up by the Japanese.

Although the flag of the "Red Cross" volunteer rescue team was hung and various pass permits were applied, the King of Hell was easy to deal with, and the little ghost was difficult to deal with.

No matter what you do, you will pass by and pluck your hair by geese.

However, there were foreigners on the car and the passing procedures, which made these people slightly restrained and did not dare to go too far. The journey was still smooth.

When the convoy arrived in Meilong Town, it was almost twelve o'clock noon.

This used to be a very lively and bustling town. The Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway passed through the town and was a transit station for north-south freight. Emperor Zhengde went to Jiangnan and met the beautiful and lively girl Li Fengjie in Meilong Town. He fell in love at first sight, leaving behind a love story between the prince and the common people that has been passed down to this day.

The Meilong Town they saw was almost deserted on the streets, with shops closed, and even a bark of dogs could not be heard, like a dead town.

When the convoy entered the town, I saw a few people on the street. Some shop doors were open, but they were all covered. The guy sat in the store, with his head hanging down and listless, and obviously he had no business.

A convoy suddenly came from the town, which naturally alarmed the mayor and the director of the town office. The two of them also received a notice from their superiors in advance that a volunteer medical team was coming and asked them to receive them and do a good job in logistics support. This is a big shot from above.

Now it's finally here.

The mayor's surname is Li, a bald middle-aged man, gray-white Zhongshan suit, has a fat figure, and constantly wipes sweat with a handkerchief. He looks a little weak, and when he smiles, he even wrinkles on his face. I wonder if he is of the same clan as Li Fengjie five hundred years ago.

The director of the town office was named Zhou, and he looked in his thirties.

Perhaps the people above explained Lu Xiyan's identity to them, so when the two of them came over, they looked a little flattering, especially when they saw the armored truck, they looked even more envious.

"Dr. Lu, the town has prepared some small wine for the medical team. Is it not too late for us to have a meal first and then go to the quarantine area?"

"We have received the kindness of Mayor Li and Director Zhou, but the most important thing we are now is to go to the quarantine area to treat the people. If you don't bother with it, you can send the food to the quarantine area. How about it?" Lu Xiyan said.

"This, this..."

"That's it, Director Zhou, you get in the car and take us to the quarantine area." Lu Xiyan said without any explanation and directly ordered Director Zhou to say.

He didn't have time to socialize here, and he didn't need to give face to the mayor. He came to save people, not to drink and eat.

"Master Li, please help us deliver the meal." Lu Xiyan got into the car and greeted him. If they didn't eat this meal, they would be counted on them. We should not let these big rats take advantage of it.

Mayor Li stood by the roadside, staring at the convoy passing through the town area and heading south.

The isolation area must not be located in the lively Zhendian area. If you leave the town area, you will have to go south four or five miles, and you will have to go southwest and another fifteen or sixteen miles.

There are no major roads along the way, only minor roads, and cars are barely accessible, but it is difficult to turn around.

This was an abandoned charity village in the past. It was probably not used for many years. It was surrounded by mountains. This time the cholera erupted from a nearby village.

Immediately afterwards, people were infected in seven or eight surrounding villages. The village that first broke out was almost dead now, and now, the infected villagers in nearby villages have been driven into the isolation area.

Moreover, more and more people are being quarantined, and nearby villages, including the nearby Changqiao, Qibao and infected patients in Songjiang County are also sent to this isolation area.

Some villagers spontaneously, some local town offices and Japanese troops sent people to send them here forcibly.

The isolation area of ​​Meilong Town is already the largest area nearby to accommodate cholera infected people. And with the arrival of medical teams, more and more patients in this isolation area will be.

Some patients fell dead on the road before they entered the isolation area. The Japanese soldiers in protective clothing and recruited nearby people to come over and carry the bodies away for burning or burying them deep!

A barbed wire was drawn around the isolation area, like a military prohibition area. Except for medical staff, there are only in and out of the area.

The Japanese military guard headquarters in Shanghai dispatched a squadron to be responsible for the quarantine area, and the police removed from nearby towns and districts to maintain relevant order.

The atmosphere here was extremely depressing and tense. The Japanese soldiers were armed with guns and were ready to fight. Obviously, they were also afraid of being infected. Each of them was equipped with protective suits and individual gas masks.

The vigilance in charge of the isolation area was a Japanese captain who personally led people to welcome the arrival of the medical team outside the isolation area.

The Red Cross sent a translator to Lu Xiyan. When they encountered the Japanese army along the way, they at least had no obstacles in communication.

Of course, Lu Xiyan understood Japanese, but he never showed it in front of anyone.

"Dr. Lu, I have long admired Daname. My name is Ichino Ogawa, and I am the person in charge here." The Japanese captain who brought Kazuna Ogawa obviously knew Lu Xiyan.

"You're welcome, Mr. Ogawa." Lu Xiyan nodded lightly and asked the general translator to him in Japanese.

"Dr. Lu, please!"

The Japanese army built many recommended high platforms nearby, as well as simple military camps.

Lu Xiyan and Tongzhi entered the command communication camp set up by Kazuo Ogawa here.

"Mr. Ogawa, my team wants to enter the quarantine area as soon as possible to treat our compatriots. I also ask you and the soldiers you have accepted to provide convenience." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.

"Okay, Dr. Lu, the order I received was to assist the medical team in doing a good job in patients in the isolation area and to control the spread of this epidemic. The arrival of you and your team will bring hope to the people inside. I am very grateful to them on their behalf." Kazuno Ogawa bowed slightly to Lu Xiyan.

Lu Xiyan nodded. As long as the Japanese don’t interfere, their work will be much easier.

"The supplies and cars I brought must enter the quarantine area. Mr. Ogawa, is there any problem?" Lu Xiyan asked.

"As long as you don't bring contraband in, there is no problem."

"Of course, we are here to save people. Besides, there are all patients inside. What's the point of bringing contraband in?" Lu Xiyan asked back.

"What you said makes sense." Ogawa Kazuno nodded. There were men and women in the medical team, and the total was just over 30 people.

What can more than thirty people do?

What's more, they have passed the inspections of various checkpoints along the way. How important is it to check again?

"By the way, Dr. Lu, I want to introduce your old friend." Kazuno Ogawa smiled slightly, clapped his hands, lifted the military tent, and a slim figure walked in from outside.

"Dr. Lu, do you still remember Shizuka?" Shizuka Fujimoto smiled slightly, and stretched out her right hand generously.

Fujimoto Shizuka!

Lu Xiyan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He really didn't expect to meet her here, how could she appear here, Fujimoto Keigo's daughter?

"Dr. Lu, why? When you meet old friends, don't you shake hands?" Fujimoto Shizuka burst out laughing.

"Miss Shizuka, you really scared me. Why are you here?" Lu Xiyan reached out, shook hands with Shizuka Fujimoto, and immediately let go.

"I'm different from my father. He studies clinical medicine, and I'm very interested in infectious diseases, so when I heard that cholera epidemics were found in Shanghai, I came over." Fujimoto Shizuka explained.

"Are you alone?"

"Of course not, and my research team is also there. I didn't expect to work with Dr. Lu here. It's a great honor for Shizuka," said Shizuka Fujimoto.

"Dr. Lu, Miss Shizuka will enter the quarantine area with your medical team next. She will assist you in treating and rescuing the infected people here. I hope you don't refuse." Ogawa Kazuno said solemnly.

"Of course, I will not refuse if one person is more powerful." Lu Xiyan nodded and told him intuition that Shizuka Fujimoto would never appear here for no reason, she must have his purpose.

If she only studies cholera infection, there is not only one quarantine area around Shanghai. Why did she choose the same area as herself?

"Dr. Lu is also an expert in infectious diseases. It is very honored that Shizuka can learn by your side." Shizuka Fujimoto bowed slightly.

"I am just a doctor, and it is my duty to treat diseases and save people. Miss Shizuka is polite." Lu Xiyan said lightly.

"Dr. Lu has been running all the way and hasn't had lunch yet. Otherwise, eat some sushi first, take a break, and then enter the quarantine area?" Fujimoto Shizuka said.

"The lunch that Mayor Li of Meilong Town has prepared for us should be delivered immediately, so I won't bother Miss Shizuka and Mr. Ogawa."
Chapter completed!
