Chapter 683: Female Advisor
Sergei frowned, "God, I hate this. =Music=Text=NovelThis is not like a bullet, it will hurt when it hits you. Viruses are invisible, and they are contagious. If one person is sick, it is likely to lead a series of them, and even our team will not be able to get out of that damn African jungle. ”
"Yes. So on that point, I have to stress it repeatedly before acting. Lin Rui looked at these mercenaries and said, "It is a virulent infectious disease virus that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, and the original virus causes a very high mortality rate. Of the approximately 1,500 confirmed Ebola cases, the mortality rate is as high as 88%. The main causes of death are stroke, myocardial infarction, hypovolemic shock, or multiple organ failure. The incubation period of the virus can reach 2 to 21 days, but in the tropical climate of Africa, it is usually only 5 to 10 days. ”
This news made all the mercenaries look a little ugly, they were not afraid of death, and they dared to charge in the face of a rain of bullets. But for the virus, these mercenaries are still a little hairy in their hearts. Especially since they had been fighting in Africa before. I know exactly what happens if you get infected with Ebola.
The Ebola virus is one of the most terrible viruses ever known, and once infected with the virus, there is no vaccine or other treatment, and the patient is almost condemned to death himself. In the words of one doctor, someone infected with Ebola will "melt" in front of you. The only way to stop the spread of the virus is to completely isolate the infected patients.
Because of the lethal power of Ebola and the fact that no vaccine has yet been proven effective, this mission can be said to be a high-risk mission. Even for this group of professional warriors who have experienced war and death, it is impossible to say that there is no fear at all.
"In view of the special nature of this operation, I will respect the wishes of all of you, and if you do not want to participate, you can not participate. Lin Rui said slowly, "As the captain, I still have this right." I don't want you to die. Besides, you don't need so many people this time, just have a team. ”
"But you'll go. Lincoln looked at him.
Lin Rui shrugged, "Although it is very dangerous and dirty work, someone has to do it." ”
"I see what you mean. Lincoln was silent for a moment and said, "I'll sign up." Wherever you go, I'll do it with you. ”
"And me. Sergei raised his hand.
"It's kind, but it's not your turn to be a Russian hero here. Count me in!" Jason exclaimed.
Yelena said slowly, "I won't leave the team. ”
Wang Haoze shrugged and said, "I seem to be afraid of death, of course I will do it." Actuary, how are you?"
Jiang An smiled slightly, "Just you daredevils, if you don't have me, who will take care of you?"
"Alright then, it's you and Lincoln. It just so happens that Park Dong-sang's injury is not yet healed, and Lincoln can supplement his position in the team. But that's not all. We also need a doctor who knows how to test for the virus, and we need to do some virus testing regularly throughout the operation to prevent anyone from getting infected during the mission. Lin Rui replied.
"Well, I know there's someone who fits. I know a man who used to be a military doctor. Lincoln frowned.
"No need, this silver wolf has already made arrangements. Because we don't want an ordinary doctor who can treat wounds, but a virology expert. The kind that helps us get things done. Lin Rui shrugged, turned around and picked up the communicator and said, "Cobain, is the doctor here?"
"It's already here. But I have to say, that's a pretty beauty. Cobain replied.
Lin Rui cut off the communication, looked at the door with a strange face, and was stunned for a long time. He frowned and said, "Doctor Lu, how could it be you?"
"Claudia?" said Lincoln and several other mercenaries strangely.
The doctor who accompanied the team turned out to be a female doctor, and it was Lu Hanxin, who had several interactions with Lin Rui.
Lin Rui frowned and said, "No, there must be some misunderstanding in this." We don't want an ordinary doctor, let alone a female doctor. ”
"Standing in front of you is a professional who understands virology, and I have been to Africa three times with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Reaching out to affected areas to provide isolation and essential medical care for patients infected with the Ebola virus. This is the fourth time that you are going to Zaire and the Congo River region. Lu Hanxin nodded and said, "I don't think you're qualified enough to question my business level." ”
"Well, that sounds like you're really good. But you have to understand that it's not as simple as following those bearded doctors who are overflowing with love to save people in Africa. We have to deal not only with deadly viruses, but also with scientists trying to weaponize them, and with the murderous armed thugs of the African jungle. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not questioning your business level, I'm questioning your ability to survive." It's a war. ”
"So, according to your theory, the war should let the women go away?" Lu Hanxin smiled slightly, "But there are also women in your team." ”
"Are you talking about Yelena?" Lin Rui frowned, "First of all, she has the ability to protect herself, and even many times, she is more ruthless than men. In case you didn't know, her nickname was Viper. The number of people who died at her hands may be greater than the number of patients you have saved. ”
One of the mercenaries couldn't help but whistle loudly, causing a burst of laughter. Yelena has always been the goddess of war in the minds of this group of people. In addition to being beautiful and eye-catching, this Russian female sniper is a high-efficiency killing machine.
"Ok, maybe I won't kill. Lu Hanxin nodded and said, "But I will save people." You might as well think about it, on the battlefield, how many people will the other side die before you are willing to exchange your comrades-in-arms for them?"
Lin Rui said coldly, "My team members are all priceless, and their lives are my lives." I will never trade the lives of my brothers for them. ”
"So, deep down, you also think that saving someone is more important than killing someone. Lu Hanxin said slowly, "I may not kill the enemy, but I can let you and your team members live well." Especially in such an environment where you are very likely to get the virus, don't you think that having a good doctor is more important than having a good gunner?"
Lin Rui was stunned.
"I think that's the case. The silver wolf walked in from outside the door and said slowly, "Although Claudia is young, she is quite familiar with Africa and has been exposed to the Ebola virus. So this time she joined as an advisor, and the benefits to our whole operation are self-evident. ”
"Mr. Michelle, I still hope that you will call me Lu Hanxin according to Chinese custom. The female doctor stretched out her hand and shook it with him, and said with a slight smile.
