Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 970: Shocked Secretary Yan

The four of them each had a bicycle and rode towards the commune.

I have to say, in this day and age, traveling together on four bicycles is pretty shocking.

Fortunately, they were in the countryside and didn't meet many people on the road. If they were in a town with many pedestrians, they would have attracted a lot of attention.

On the way, the team leader also told them to help convince Secretary Yan and make him believe in the plague.

After all, this matter was too serious. The captain was worried that he alone would not be able to convince Secretary Yan and make him believe it, so he sent people to investigate and report to the higher authorities.

After all, if it is reported and later proved that the incident did not happen, Secretary Yan would be punished, which might even ruin his career advancement, so Secretary Yan had no choice but to be cautious.

The group rode their bicycles directly to the commune government building and found Secretary Yan.

Secretary Yan, who was sitting in his office, was startled when he saw a group of four people coming in, all wearing masks.

Everyone who came was wearing a mask, and Secretary Yan didn't recognize who the person was at first.

It was not until the team leader, Liu Jingxue, greeted him that he recognized her.

Secretary Yan stood up, looking surprised, "Lao Zhang, why are you here at this time?

There is still some time before the thawing work starts, and we haven't been notified of any meetings. Why are you here, Lao Zhang?"

As for Liu Jingxue, Secretary Yan guessed that she might have come because she needed to borrow a phone.

After all, she had come here a few times, always to make phone calls.

As for why the captain came here, Secretary Yan couldn't guess.

You know, in the past, if there was nothing wrong, he would never go to the commune.

"And why are you all wearing masks? Even if it's to block the wind, why don't you take them off after entering the house?"

The captain made an agreement with the three people on the way to talk to Secretary Yan about the epidemic first. After he had digested it, he would talk about borrowing the phone.

"Secretary Yan, I came here this time to report something important to you.

As for why we wear masks, you will understand when we are done. ”

Upon hearing this, Secretary Yan hurriedly said, "I'm sure you must be thirsty after all this journey, so I'll pour you some tea to moisten your throats.

Let’s talk slowly after we finish our tea.”

When the captain heard this, he quickly stopped them, "Secretary Yan, there's no need to pour the flowers. We don't plan to take off our masks to drink tea. Don't waste tea."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Yan frowned and said, "Lao Zhang, what the hell are you doing?

I always wear a mask and I don’t feel stuffy.”

The captain smiled bitterly. If he didn't have to, he would never be willing to wear this damn thing.

"Secretary Yan, we have to wear it. We already have a suspected human-to-human transmission epidemic here," the captain said directly.

Secretary Yan was startled when he heard this, and his steps became unsteady. He kicked the table without paying attention.

"Lao Zhang, your joke is not funny at all."

“I’m not kidding, what I said is true.

There are already quite a few patients in our production team.

I also sent people to other production teams and production sites to inquire about the situation and found that many people were sick and some had died.

Haven't you heard of it?" the captain asked.

The commune was different from the production team. There was a certain distance between houses. The houses in the commune were built more densely, and people had more interactions, which made it easier for the disease to spread.

The captain believed that Secretary Yan must have heard something about it.

Secretary Yan frowned and thought for a moment, "Many people have been sick recently.

It's just because the weather is getting warmer, some people didn't pay attention, let down their guard, and caught a cold.

Every year when the temperature changes, people get sick. There is no need to make a fuss."

Seeing that Secretary Yan didn't take it seriously, the captain became anxious and raised his voice, "But the situation this year is different.

In previous years, some people did get sick when the temperature changed, but not as many as this year.

There are already dozens of patients in our production team, and they are all from families. This has never happened in previous years.

The contagiousness of this disease is truly horrible.

Moreover, the disease does not get better after taking medicine, and it keeps coming back.

I went to the town hospital and saw that they admitted many people with colds and fevers who had not been cured for a long time. "

Secretary Yan frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "Lao Zhang, you just said that there were dozens of patients in your production team, and when one person gets sick, the whole family gets sick too?"

Secretary Yan realized that the situation was not good.

"How can I lie to you about this kind of thing?"

The team leader began to talk about the situation of the production team and asked three people to testify for him.

He sent people to the nearby production team to inquire about the situation and also told about it.

"Lao Zhang, hearing what you said, the situation is really not good." Secretary Yan's heart was beating wildly.

He took a few steps back and sat down on the chair.

At this moment, he felt his legs were weak and he was completely unable to support himself to stand.

"Secretary Yan, should we report this matter immediately? You should make a decision.

At our production team, I have gathered all the patients together for treatment and do not allow them to run around to avoid infecting more people.

The Red Star Production Team has also been placed under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

"Here in the commune, the population is dense and mobile. If the epidemic spreads, it will be more dangerous than in the production teams below.

You need to take action now.”

Secretary Yan didn't say anything for a long time. This matter was too big and he had to think about it carefully.

“Lao Zhang, we cannot conclude that there is really a plague based on what happened in your production team alone.

We still need to look at a few more places.

This is a very big matter. If I report it without verifying it, and it turns out to be false later, I cannot bear the consequences."

The team leader nodded in understanding, "Then you should quickly arrange for people to go to the production teams and communes to understand the situation.

This is why I am telling you this.

If it is confirmed, quickly get a charter."

"We need to hold a meeting to talk to everyone about this."

Secretary Yan invited, "Lao Zhang, if I just talk, I won't be credible.

Come with me and tell everyone about the situation in your production team and what you found out in the town.

Otherwise, they might think I am lying and making fun of them."

The captain had expected this, so he didn't refuse. "Okay, no problem. I'll go with you."

Looking at the three people beside him, he said, "Lend them your phone so they can contact their families."

At this moment, Secretary Yan had no time to care about such trivial matters as borrowing a phone. All he wanted to do was to quickly gather people together and arrange for them to investigate in various places.

“Use it, feel free to use it.

Lao Zhang, please follow me."

Having said that, Secretary Yan pulled the team leader out.

"Liu Zhiqing, please feel free to use the phone. It's right there. Use it whenever you want." Secretary Yan said to Liu Jingxue as he walked out.

Liu Jingxue quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Secretary Yan."
