Struggle in the Steam Age

"Hurry up, take her to the third floor. There are my medicines and some tools in the laboratory over there, as well as a table suitable for patients." Lawrence also knew that saving lives is like putting out fires, so she quickly turned to Syfy. Er said. At this time, he also recognized that the little girl with brown curly hair was Jimmy's little daughter named Jenny.

After Lawrence changed into a clean white coat, Safiel also helped to measure Jenny's temperature, but Lawrence could see from her face that the overall situation of the little girl was not optimistic.

"39 degrees, this is too hot." Lawrence frowned after listening to Safir's report. "Anyway, we need to cool down first. You need to physically cool her down first. I need to test her blood to find out what caused his fever."

Speaking of which, Lawrence used a needle to prick a wound on Jenny's finger and obtained a part of the blood sample, then came to the research bench and took out a bright-looking brass microscope. After quickly processing the blood sample, he put the processed sample on the stage.

After Lawrence put forward the theory of microorganisms, many doctors devoted themselves to the discovery of various pathogenic bacteria. For example, the two issues of the "Federal Medical Journal" have almost become pathogenic bacteria exhibition manuals. Almost all the papers are It has to do with newly discovered disease-causing microbes and how to get rid of them.

Also because of the work of those doctors, after carefully observing the blood samples, Lawrence quickly recognized what the long strip of bacteria appeared in his field of vision.

"Typhoid fever bacilli, this is a big trouble." After thinking about the symptoms of typhoid fever, he can probably tell that the little girl named Jenny is indeed suffering from typhoid fever. Lawrence had also visited the street where the little girl lived before, and the dirty environment there was indeed easy to spread the disease.

"Safir." Lawrence shouted to Safir who was cooling Jenny with the eau-de-vie spirit from the Kingdom of Rurik outside, "Did you find anything wrong with Jimmy and the others today?"

"What's wrong—what aspect are you referring to?" Safir had finished cooling Jenny at this time, and while responding to Lawrence's question, she took out a blanket from the bottom of the cabinet for the convenience of cooling down. Covered by Jenny who took off her clothes.

"I mean, are there many people like Jenny who have a fever and get sick over there now?" After watching the curtain being pulled open, Lawrence described his problem in detail.

"Do you mean someone with a fever like Jenny?" Safir put his finger on his chin and touched it, showing a look of reminiscence. "I'm not sure, because when I went to that street, I only went to Jimmy's house. But when I was chatting with Jimmy's wife, I seemed to hear her say that there were a lot of people on that street this week. Someone in the worker's family was sick, which made it difficult for her to find someone who was also free to chat with after finishing the housework recently."

"This is a big trouble." Lawrence sighed, and then said to Safir. "You take care of Jenny here first, I'm going to St. Gutenberg's Cathedral."

"Is the situation so bad?" Safiel looked at Lawrence and asked nervously, "I need you to go to St. Gutenberg Cathedral now."

"Yes, very bad." Lawrence nodded, and then took off the white coat and mask he was wearing just now. "It's going to be a disaster if it's not handled well, a disaster that involves the whole city."

As someone who experienced the large-scale spread of dangerous infectious diseases in his previous life, Lawrence naturally knew how bad the situation would be if a severe infectious disease like typhoid fever broke out on a large scale. So he now has to get the message out. Especially those people or organizations that have the ability to stop this.

It's just that the only thing that makes Lawrence feel wrong is that according to the knowledge he has learned, the typhoid fever in this world is not very different from the typhoid fever in his previous life, and both have a long incubation period. And this outbreak of typhoid fever was too fast.

Just when Lawrence walked through the gate of the office, he happened to meet Fatina who was jogging towards the office. She left the office early this morning and went home to get back the potion that Lawrence asked her grandfather to make ten days ago using the materials obtained from the last Astral Plane competition. But now she is running hurriedly on the street as if she has encountered some insoluble problem.

"Lawrence, can you go to our family with me? In the past three or four days, a disease suddenly broke out among the rat people living underground. Although the potion can cure them, it can cure a group of people There will always be more patients after that. Our medical system is about to collapse, you are a doctor, maybe you can help us." After seeing Lawrence, Fatina immediately grabbed Lawrence's forearm and prayed.

"Illness?" Thinking of the Ratman living in the sewer, Lawrence immediately thought of little Jenny upstairs who had a fever. "Did they have a persistent high fever, loss of appetite, some enlarged spleens, and some even had blood in their stools."

"That's it, what you said is absolutely right." Fatina nodded her head frantically. "This disease broke out three or four days ago, and it spread very fast. Although superhumans will not be infected, ordinary ratmen are not immune. I always thought that our ratmen's bodies were immune to most of the disease. disease, but it is clear that this time we are not immune to this disease."

Then Fatina looked at Lawrence with longing eyes, "Since you know what this disease is, you must be able to treat it?"

"Yes, I know how to treat people with this disease, it's not very difficult." Lawrence nodded, "But the problem is that this disease is a severe infectious disease, if we can't treat it, we won't be able to treat it If it’s the source, we’re probably not healing people as fast as we’re getting new infections.”

"Then what should we do?" Fatina even drooped her beard after hearing what Lawrence said. It looked like the whole person had lost hope all of a sudden. "The information I have received at home is that the disease started from six nests at about the same time, which is really difficult to trace."

"Don't worry too much," Lawrence reassured. "Come here with me. This matter is not just about us humans or you rat people. It may involve all the people living in this city. So we need to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized now."

"Where are we going?" Seeing Lawrence directly summoning the Phantom Horse on the street, Fatina asked curiously. "Is it a certain hospital?"

"No, it's St. Gutenberg's Cathedral." Lawrence quickly turned over and climbed onto the phantom horse's back, and then pulled Fatina onto the phantom horse. "Faced with such a situation, we must mobilize all available forces."

"This is not a joke, little Lawrence." After rushing to St. Gutenberg Cathedral as fast as possible and finding Priest Carter and telling him about it, Priest Carter showed an expression of disbelief. "Why didn't I hear any news about this matter? You must know that our church has many charity schools in poor areas."

"I think it may be because it has only been five days since the large-scale outbreak began, and everyone has not reacted yet. And we often don't pay much attention to the information of the rat people." Lawrence said after thinking for a while. "Besides, it is the turn of summer and autumn, and there are more various diseases. It is very likely that this typhoid outbreak has been covered up by other diseases."

"Then you and the Rat Man lady are sitting here for a while, I'll go and ask first." After speaking, Priest Carter left the office, leaving only Lawrence and Fatina who were full of thoughts sitting in the reception chairs.
