Chapter 1230

“Ebala virus?”

When he saw this news, Fang Qiu immediately frowned, clicked on it to have a look, and murmured, “Africo is indeed unfortunate. We’ve just managed to bring the malaria epidemic under control, but now a new virus has emerged.”

“However, this situation should be related to the inferior environment over there.”

When he thought of the environment, Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head.

He had been to Africo, so he had some idea of its environment. However, this little bit of knowledge was far from enough.

Fang Qiu still remembered something clearly.

Back then, he had seen on the Internet that due to the high temperatures in many regions of Africo and its unclean environment, they were infested with flies.

Many people who couldn’t afford to eat would use dustpans to swat those flies every day. After killing them, they would knead the dead flies together and make them into fly burgers.

Thus it could be seen…

How awful the living conditions were in Africo.

In any dirty environment with high temperatures, viruses would grow fast and become highly contagious. So, it was no surprise to learn that various kinds of viruses had appeared.

Unexpectedly…

When he read the news, Fang Qiu felt a sudden rush of panic when he thought of Jiang Miaoyu.

As mentioned in the news, the virus was highly infectious.

It wouldn’t be long before it spread all over Africo. By then, it would be dangerous for Jiang Miaoyu.

“Comores is an island country. Since the place where the Ebala virus was discovered is not there, the virus won’t spread to Comores in such a short period of time.”

“What’s more, Miaoyu is in the medical assistance base. They should have received news about the Ebala virus. As a medical assistance agency, they would be fully prepared.”

Thinking of this, Fang Qiu was slightly relieved.

“According to her schedule, she will finish her one-year medical mission in half a month.”

Fang Qiu calculated to himself her probable time of coming back from abroad.

Just then…

“Beep, beep, beep…”

His phone suddenly rang.

Fang Qiu looked at the caller ID and found it was Jiang Miaoyu!

“Speak of the devil — here is she now!”

Fang Qiu shook his head with a chuckle, quickly picked up the phone, and said before Jiang Miaoyu could say anything, he spoke, “I was thinking about you, then you called.”

“Really?”

Jiang Miaoyu didn’t believe it.

“Don’t you believe me? It’s true!”

Fang Qiu said with certainty, “It should be late afternoon in your place. It’s half past six in the morning here. I just received a push notification saying the very contagious Ebala virus appeared in Africo. When I saw it, I thought of you and was worried about your safety. When I figured out you should finish your mission in half a month and return home, you happened to call me. What a coincidence, don’t you think so?”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Miaoyu smiled wryly and said, “I called to tell you about the medical assistance program.”

“Is there a problem?”

Fang Qiu asked in puzzlement.

“No.”

Jiang Miaoyu paused and said, “My medical mission has been extended.”

“Huh?”

Fang Qiu was quite taken aback.

“Here’s the thing.”

Jiang Miaoyu paused for a moment before saying, “I’ve considered this carefully. I want to train some local doctors. You know how poor the conditions here are. It’ll be of great help if I pass on some simple medical knowledge to them, and I’ll select some people to study in our school. To accomplish my plans, I’ll have to stay here for another two months. ”

“But the environment over there is appalling. After the malaria outbreak, now the Ebala virus emerged. This virus is highly infectious. If you don’t come back, I’m afraid…”

Fang Qiu was worried.

“It’s okay.”

Jiang Miaoyu interrupted, “We are all doctors here. The local medical conditions are not good, but we have a medical assistance team. The material resources needed will be delivered to us as soon as possible. We’ll take precautions even if the virus appears in Comores, not to mention that the Ebala virus might not even spread here. I’ll be fine.”

“That’s true.”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said with a sigh, “Well, you’re introducing Chinese Medicine to foreign countries. By imparting this medical knowledge to them, you can help them prevent some diseases that may break out in the future. Doctors of Chinese Medicine are always willing to treat the common people. You’re a good doctor, but you can’t ignore your own safety when protecting others. Take good care of yourself. Don’t be careless, understand?”

“Understood.”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s thoughtful words, Jiang Miaoyu responded happily, “Don’t worry. I will look after your girlfriend. I will never let her suffer.”

“Now that you’ve promised me, you will be held responsible if anything happens to my girlfriend.”

Fang Qiu replied merrily.

They chatted for a very long time.

Jiang Miaoyu ended the call.

However…

Just after they ended the call and Fang Qiu was about to go out for breakfast, his phone suddenly rang again.

This time, it was Li Ji.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“I have important news.”

Li Ji’s solemn voice came from the phone. “I’ve just received news from a reliable source that said many Earth Treasures seemingly appeared in a place close to Africon Savannah in the south of Egyptt!”

“Hmm?”

Fang Qiu heard this and cocked his eyebrows in surprise.

“Do you want to go and have a look?”

Li Ji asked.

“Impossible.”

Fang Qiu immediately shook his head and said, “How could there be lots of Earth Treasure in that place? I have seen relevant information about malaria from Africo’s ancient books and have gone to the south of Egyptt bordering Africon Savannah. I only saw one Earth Treasure, though I had walked through that area. So, there can’t be any other Earth Treasures. This news may not be true?”

“Oh, you’ve been there?”

Hearing Fang Qiu’s words, Li Ji immediately frowned, paused for a moment, and said, “I’ll go and confirm the accuracy of this news.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

On the other side…

Fang Qiu suddenly had a bad feeling.

“The Ebala virus just appeared, and now numerous Earth Treasures have shown up?”

His eyebrows furrowed and Fang Qiu felt something bad would likely happen in Africo.

Here…

On the world underground-force forum…

“A large number of Holy Fruits emerged in Africo!”

The appearance of a post attracted the attention of countless people.

Fang Qiu clicked on it.

Except for a photo, there was nothing else in the post.

He took a closer look at the photo.

The picture was taken near Egyptt. At a glance, many objects that resembled the Holy Fruits seemed to have cropped up everywhere.

This photo gave rise to an intense discussion on the world underground-force forum.

In the face of the temptation of so many Holy Fruits…

All the major forces in the world immediately sent their people to snatch as many as possible.

At the same time…

Egyptt’s metahumans also headed there immediately.

Not long after…

Egyptt released a statement.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They denied the news that a lot of Holy Fruits had appeared there and indicated that they did not welcome any force that came with the intention to rob.

Sure enough…

No country and force, large or small, believed Egyptt’s statement, so they did not summon back those people they had sent out.

All the forces didn’t take drastic measures but waited for the investigation results from their people. Once they confirmed that the news was true, they would make their move right away.

Here…

Fang Qiu had breakfast with employees of the Dendrobe cultivation base.

Right after breakfast…

He Xue called.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Boss, your beautiful old classmate, Jiang Mengjie, is here. What sort of job have you assigned to her?”

He Xue asked.

“Wait for me. I’ll go back to Beijiang now.”

Fang Qiu responded, hung up the phone, and immediately booked an air ticket back to Beijiang.

When he was in Beijiang…

It was ten o’clock in the morning.

They arrived at the newly built work area of the cultivation base.

Fang Qiu saw Jiang Mengjie from afar. When he approached, he saw that the Tianshan Rat Hare was in her arms.

This scene surprised Fang Qiu a little.

Unexpectedly…

This little creature remained so quietly in her arms.

“You’re back?”

Seeing Fang Qiu, Jiang Mengjie smiled sweetly and asked, “Sister He Xue has shown me around. I’ve also learned about the foundation.”

“Tell me, what sort of duties have you arranged for me?”

With this…

Fang Qiu shook his head and smiled, saying, “Well, at present, all the physicians we recruited have gone to the countryside, but practicing medicine in the countryside is risky and there could be some potential problems. To avoid as many problems as possible, I want to set up a system where they can input all the information, including the diagnoses and prescriptions they made. Then the foundation will examine the information in the system. Once any doctor was found to have prescribed the wrong medicine, their mistakes should be corrected through the foundation’s intervention. Thus, only experts with a thorough understanding of Chinese Medicine are qualified for the work.. ”

“What do you think of this position?”

Fang Qiu asked.

“Good.”

Jiang Mengjie, seemingly taking it for granted, nodded and asked, “Will I be the only one responsible for such an important mission? Aren’t you afraid it will wear me out?”

“You certainly will not be the only one.”

Fang Qiu shook his head and continued, “So, I need you to recruit as many employees as you think is appropriate. But every one of them should be competent and well-trained!”

“No problem.”

Jiang Mengjie nodded in agreement at once.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

Suddenly, Fang Qiu’s cell phone rang again.

“I need to take this phone call.”

After excusing himself, Fang Qiu immediately took out his mobile phone, strode aside, and looked at it. When he found it was from Li Ji, he immediately picked it up.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu spoke up.

“It’s confirmed.”

Li Ji’s voice spoke, “There are indeed a large number of objects that resemble Earth Treasures that came up in the south of Egyptt. It is uncertain if they are Earth Treasures, but even if those things are not as precious as Earth Treasures, they’re valuable enough. You should log onto the underground forum to take a look.”

After hanging up the phone…

Fang Qiu immediately entered the world underground-force forum to check the information.

As soon as he was on the forum, he found others had been discussing this matter avidly.

Fang Qiu carefully looked around.

He learned some forces had discovered Holy Fruits in a large tract of grassland where Egyptt and some other countries met. This area was not under anybody’s jurisdiction.

The news showed up.

All the people who paid attention to it were thrilled.

Many people even began to denounce Egyptt for lying.

Meanwhile…

All the forces started dispatching people there.

After all, this was an excellent opportunity to improve their strength!
