From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Liang has spent more than 20 years in Xinsheng Town, the most painful and busiest 20 days...

People died every day, and new supplies arrived every day.

Qiao Liang was not used to it at first. Not only would he have nightmares at night, but whenever he saw a sick child dying in despair, he would feel very uncomfortable. Occasionally, he would go to the riverside to find a place to cry loudly late at night.

It's not that Qiao Liang isn't strong enough, but the feeling of powerlessness will make him collapse from time to time.

He tried his best, but things didn't go the way he expected.

Nearly 150 of the 379 early patients died within 20 days, and most of them were children and women.

Subsequently, more than 30 people were infected one after another...

The mortality rate of more than 40% gave Qiao Liang an extremely profound understanding of the Marburg virus.

The so-called mortality rate of 10 to 20% is a lie. When most of the people infected with the virus are malnourished women and children, this rate will double.

The confusion and confusion in the eyes of those children before they died became an image that lingered in Qiao Liang's mind.

At this time, Qiao Liang began to understand that most viruses in the world are actually 'incurable diseases'.

Because there is no drug that can eliminate viruses in the human body, with the development of society, people are improving their ability to take care of patients...

If you have difficulty breathing, I will give you medicine to dilate your trachea.

If you have a fever, I will bring it down.

If you are bleeding, I will give you medicine to stop bleeding.

In the face of the Marburg virus, after doing all these things, the rest is left to fate!

Qiao Liang has never been able to accept that kind of 'powerless death' because his parents died of 'powerless death'.

In order to avoid thinking about it, Qiao Liang chose to work and work non-stop...

Qiao Liang, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs close to 200, lost almost 30 pounds in 20 days.

But the results of his work are very gratifying!

Both Qiao brothers seem to have a talent for managing people, but Boss Qiao is the kind of leader who goes deep into the situation and practices it, while Qiao Liang is the scientific management of intellectuals.

With the old monster "Crocodile" and a bunch of anteaters around, the poor people behaved very obediently, and as they gradually tasted the sweetness of being obedient, they began to cooperate more and more.

The new town had only a few thatched houses from the beginning, and it took only twenty days to build a ward.

Use wood to build a base, and then send modular houses from the giant infrastructure to build on top. Generally, five people can build a house in one day.

The poor people could only sleep on the ground at the beginning, and then slowly owned tents. When the medical area was basically built, they began to dismantle the tents and started building houses for themselves with great enthusiasm.

The development of the entire town is like pressing the fast forward button. There will be some changes every day, and there will be something new in the town every day.

Most people here have never owned a house of their own in this life!

They did not expect that after being absorbed by the Jialiang Shipyard, they would not only get a salary, but also own a house.

Houses made of prefabricated panels are not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but for these poor people, these clean and shiny houses are something they could not even imagine in the past.

Compared with those outside volunteers who are nervous about the virus, the mentality of these poor people is much better.

Compared with the menacing virus, poverty and hunger also take away lives every day.

In the hearts of these people, there is the same feeling of powerlessness, and poverty and hunger are more profound and lasting.

Because you can still rely on your body to fight against the virus, but there is really nothing you can do about poverty and hunger!

TC came out of the ward late at night, took off his protective clothing, and after triple disinfection, walked to the river bank with a depressed expression.

Seeing a light on in a house on the river bank, TC walked over...

He didn't knock on the door. When he pushed the door open, he saw Qiao Liang working, and there was a strong aroma of coffee in the room.

TC walked unceremoniously to the side of the coffee pot, poured himself a cup of black coffee, took a sip and said to Qiao Liang: "I suggest you take a rest, dragging yourself down will not help much with the town's problems. .”

Qiao Jia put down the pen in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at TC, and said: "Stop talking about me, what about you? Why have you stayed up until now?"

TC's face dimmed for a moment, then he shook his head slightly and said, "Yali is dead, she was only 4 years old...

Before she died, she asked me, ‘What is death? ’

I don't know how to answer..."

As he spoke, TC rubbed his face with his hands and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this damn world?"

Qiao Liang held the cold coffee cup with both hands, looked at the starry sky outside the window, and said softly: "I thought I was suffering enough before, but now I find that this world is really despairing to the core...

TC, a child asked me yesterday why those patients died...

Then I started to understand a little bit why my brother acted so irritable sometimes.

I am old, and people are old!

My young, my young, and the young of others!

Civilization should be reflected in the protection of vulnerable groups, but many people fail to do so..."

As he spoke, Qiao Liang looked at TC who was a little confused. He smiled and shook his head and said, "You don't understand..."

TC has the temperament of a cowboy. He rubbed his face vigorously to drive away the sadness on his face, then grinned and said, "I really don't understand what you are talking about, but I understand the anger in your brother.

Liang, you didn’t see what Sangha Town was like in its early days, that was the real purgatory.

Your brother used his anger to pierce the haze of despair and let hope shine into that place, which is why he is so respected.

It’s a pity that this fucking world is inherently unfair, and sometimes we can’t do anything about the outcome no matter how hard we try. "

As he spoke, TC took out a syringe and a tube of medicine from his pocket and walked to Qiao Liang's side and said: "This is immunoglobulin. You need the help of this thing, otherwise you will have to wait until the new town is established." Broken down.

This is not your responsibility at all. You do your best and leave the rest to God. "

Qiao Liang rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders indifferently and watched TC inject the immune protein into his body. He smiled and said: "In China, we have a word called 'let nature take its course'. My understanding of this word is to try my best." And don’t force it for the future.

I still have some energy, so I have to give it a try. Even if one person dies less, it will be good.

In the past, I always didn't understand the 'change' that Dragon Lizard talked about, but now I understand...

What the dragon lizard wants is ‘a little bit better’, and really just a little bit is enough!

I don't understand until now...

Every more person alive is a little better!

The less pain the patient suffers, the better!

Every smile on the faces of those poor people makes them feel better!

If I can do it, I should do it, even if the result is insignificant to this world, it doesn't matter. "

When TC heard this, he said in surprise: "After listening to what you said, I seem to feel that I don't deserve to sleep.

Dude, you know why a lot of people like your girlfriend? "

As TC looked at Qiao Liang's weird expression, he waved his hand and said, "What I mean by 'like' is pure liking, even that indifferent guy like Dragon Lizard is no exception.

Your girlfriend has a sunny and silly air about her, as if everything in her eyes is good and worthy of enthusiasm.

Man, don't look bitter and resentful. You should learn from your girlfriend and do what you are happy to do instead of turning everything into your own responsibility.

Our abilities are limited, don’t let responsibility take up too much of our lives, we must first be responsible for those who love us. "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't called Tong Tong for two days...

"Qiao Liang..."

Just when Qiao Liang felt a little annoyed, a shout came from the river...

Qiao Liang thought he was hearing hallucinations due to excessive fatigue. He pressed his ears and said, "I seemed to hear someone calling me..."

TC walked to the door and took a look, then said with a smile: "You'd better come and take a look, your girlfriend is really a magical person..."

Qiao Jia ran to the door in surprise, and then saw Tong Tong standing on the deck of a quick response ship, screaming loudly at him...

The most surprising thing is that a series of cement ships are towed behind the rapid response ship, and the containers converted into houses are neatly arranged on the ship.

Qiao Liang looked at Tong Tong, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his eyes suddenly blurred...

The girl knew that she had been worrying about the speed of construction of the town, so she came up with this method.

It's hard to describe the feeling of having someone consider you wholeheartedly when you are busy.

TC glanced at Qiao Liang, pushed hard on Qiao Liang's shoulder, and said: "Man, you are a lucky guy, hurry up...

First of all, don’t let down the people who love you!

Your brother is many times better than you at this point, but you can do it too! "

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and then ran to the river to say hello. 'Crocodile' walked out from the side like a ghost, and then took Qiao Liang onto a speedboat, slowly Moved next to the quick response ship...

After Qiao Liang boarded the ship, he found Yang's mother standing on the back deck and looking at him with a smile. He was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Dr. Yang touched Qiao Liang's thin sunken cheek with some distress, then shook his head and said: "Today is your birthday!

Tong Tong has been pushing for the construction deadline of the container, and finally caught up. "

"ah?"

Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to speak, he saw several people coming out of the cabin...

Kino pushed a dining cart with cakes, and Adele happily ran around the deck holding a handful of lit fireworks...

Tong Tong wore a pointed hat on her head, holding a mobile phone in her hand and stamping her feet anxiously while looking at the time...

When twelve o'clock arrived, the girl screamed, screamed and rushed over, jumped up from a distance and fell into Qiao Liang's arms...

Qiao Liang groaned and was pushed to the ground...

Tong Tong rode on Qiao Liang's chest and shouted happily: "Happy birthday!"

After saying this, the girl grabbed Qiao Liang's face, frowned and said, "How come you secretly lost weight?

Is there any secret recipe? Tell me quickly, or I will..."

Qiao Liang looked into Tong Tong's eyes, sat up and held her in his arms, hugged her hard and said, "Tong Tong, let's get married!"

Jino, who was holding a camera on the side, heard Qiao Liang's proposal. He screamed strangely and shouted: "Promise him, promise him, promise him..."

Tong Tong covered her fat face, struggled for a moment and said, "It's so unromantic!

How about I promise you secretly first, but do you want to ask again later? "

Qiao Liang looked at the uncontrollable happiness in Tong Tong's eyes. He laughed boldly and said, "We will get the certificate when we go back this time. You are my wife. I can beg you ten more times!"

Qiao Jia stood not far away and watched his brother complete an extremely hasty proposal. He smiled and hurriedly made a flawless gold ring. He walked over and stuffed it into Qiao Liang's hand and said, "There is no ring in the proposal." How?"
