Xie Zhou nodded at the middle-aged man and asked, "Doctor Fu, how is the situation?"
"At this moment, we still need to wait for the test results. But from the symptoms of the patients, we are 70% sure that this parasite transmits through body fluid," Fu Huike said.
"Doctor Fu, can we prevent the contamination?" Wen Chang asked.
"Since this parasite needs 10 days of incubation time before it becomes contagious, we can quarantine the patients to stop the spread. It’s just that we can’t remove the parasite through surgery since it could enter the flesh upon contact."
Xie Zhou thought for a moment before he asked, "Doctor Fu, do you have any solution?"
Fu Huike shook his head and sighed. "Since the parasite will consume their nutrients and energy, if there were no solution, the patients would die in less than 20 days after the incubation period."
When he heard this, Xie Zhou went silent for a moment before he said, "I understand. I will try to contact Professor Mo and see if he is able to help us."
Hearing Mo Junjie’s name, Fu Huike’s eyes lit up. "If we can ask Professor Mo’s help, that would be the best."
Xie Zhou glanced at the mutants inside the quarantined rooms and said, "Doctor Fu, I have to trouble you and your team for now."
Fu Huike smiled and replied, "It’s no trouble at all. Saving lives is our duty as doctors."
After leaving the health center, Xie Zhou returned to his office and made a call. The call rang for a while before it was picked up.
"Commander Xie, why are you calling me?"
Noticing the annoyance in Mo Junjie’s voice, Xie Zhou smiled and said, "Professor Mo, sorry to disturb you this late, but there is an urgent matter that I need your help with."
In Sanchou Base, Mo Junjie had just closed his eyes when his phone rang. He rubbed his face and asked, "What is it?"
"We found a parasite inside the mutants’ bodies, which caused them to go out of control. The incubation period for the parasite is 10 days, and it is transmitted through body fluids."
"Our doctors had tried to remove the parasite through surgery, but the parasite would enter the body upon contact. To avoid risking the doctors’ safety, we can only quarantine the patients and ask for your help to develop the vaccine or cure."
After hearing Xie Zhou’s explanation, Mo Junjie was interested. He thought for a while and said, "I will ask my Captain to send me to the Green Lake Base tomorrow. For now, collect the patients’ blood samples and record their vital data and symptoms."
Hearing that he agreed to his request, Xie Zhou heaved a sigh of relief. "I will ask the medical staff to prepare the blood samples and record the patients’ data."
"If there is nothing else, I will hang up the call," Mo Junjie said.
"Goodnight, Professor Mo."
After hanging up the call, Mo Junjie lay on his bed and went to sleep. Since he didn’t want to meet with the Mo family, it was better for him to see what’s going on with this so-called parasite.
