City’s Best Divine Doctor

The white fox was very cautious and in the blink of an eye, it had dashed into the nearby bushes.

However, many animals here are quite bold.

Boss Zhong continued to drive forward.

After nearly an hour and a half, when they stopped, the road ahead was no longer drivable.

Ye Qiu, Zhou Wenting, Boss Zhong, and two other friends of Boss Zhong got out of the car, and although it was not snowing, the wind was quite strong here.

The wind was howling continuously.

Zhou Wenting held Ye Qiu’s hand and followed Boss Zhong and the others forward.

There they saw tents and some machinery.

"They’re digging right here now," said Boss Zhong.

Ye Qiu already saw a group of people there, Russians and Chinese, all wrapped up, jumping into the muddy swamp.

There are many places here that might collapse underneath.

So, the deeper they dig, the more likely it is to collapse. Others have to watch from the side to prevent those people from sinking too deep and not being able to get out.

Ye Qiu also saw a huge skull there.

This skull should belong to a mammoth.

However, while the bones can also be made into crafts, their price is definitely much lower than mammoth tusks.

It was evident that this mammoth was on the verge of being unearthed.

The bones and tusks inside were well-preserved, but the flesh had long since decayed.

Of course, this was from a mammoth tusk that collapsed here tens of thousands of years ago, then died, and was buried. Tens of thousands of years later, these people are digging it out now.

Aside from labor costs, there are no other expenses, making it a highly profitable business.

But, they have to share the profit with the local Russians.

One can tell these people are working very hard at digging.

The black mud below carried a stench.

Ye Qiu understood why those infected patients had such a smell on them.

While Ye Qiu was watching, Zhou Wenting was observing from the side.

Boss Zhong went over and lit up a cigarette with another man and a Russian.

The wind was too strong, making it actually quite inconvenient to smoke here.

After watching for a while, as Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got back into the car, Boss Zhong turned to Ye Qiu and asked, "Did you see anything?"

"The virus."

The virus?

"The virus causing this outbreak of infectious disease, I suspect, was first transmitted by these people to others."

The virus of infectious disease?

Boss Zhong and the others were very surprised.

Boss Zhong almost forgot the reason he invited Ye Qiu this time.

"Dr. Ye, are you saying the virus was transmitted from those mammoth tusks?"

"No, it should be the mud beneath, or rather the virus that lay beneath many years ago is now being dug up along with the mammoth tusks by your workers."

Viruses and bacteria have always existed.

However, many are invisible to the naked eye and require a microscope magnified thousands or hundreds of times to be observed.

Ye Qiu now suspects that as these people were excavating the mammoth tusks, they also unearthed these viruses and bacteria, which then parasitized the human body and caused this kind of epidemic disease among the personnel.

Places like Siberia were permafrost layers before, and under much of the undeveloped and unexcavated soil, there might indeed be such viruses and bacteria.

However, Ye Qiu could not determine exactly where these viruses and bacteria were located.

If that’s the case, completely eradicating this kind of epidemic disease would likely be very difficult.

The only way might be to stop them from excavating mammoth tusks.

"Then I need to notify the local officials; they have been searching for the source of the virus all along."

Ye Qiu said.

"Let them investigate. If they can find effective Western medicine to eradicate the virus, when I return to the country and if a similar incident occurs, there will be Western medicine for treatment; otherwise, death would be inevitable."

Boss Zhong and his friends were somewhat scared after hearing this.

They never thought that those viruses and bacteria could be related to this.

In here.

As Boss Zhong drove back the way they came, Ye Qiu asked him to stop the car.

Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got out of the car.

He saw a large lake.

Now, the lake’s surface was frozen.

Underneath should be a very deep lake, with a layer of ice on top, and fish caught in the ice.

There were many fish frozen in place.

These fish probably came up for air, only to be frozen overnight unexpectedly.

In the distance, Ye Qiu saw a brown bear.

It had an impressively massive physique.

These Siberian bears have always been the rulers of this land, but in recent years they’ve been hunted by humans for their paws, gallbladders, and fur.

Zhou Wenting became a bit fearful when she saw the big bear, pulling Ye Qiu in a bid to retreat.

But Ye Qiu stood there.

He knew, in situations like this, the bears wouldn’t actively attack humans. Clearly, the Siberian bear on the other side had seen both Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting, but it was only watching and did not come over.

In the car, Boss Zhong took out a gun, preparing to fire a warning shot at the bear.

"No need to shoot, it won’t come over."

Boss Zhong said.

"I’m just afraid that if it does, it will end up with all its paws eaten."

Once the bear disappeared, they stood there looking at the vast white landscape and sky.

People like Chinese folks tend to enjoy eating wild game, and Boss Zhong, having spent so much time here, must have eaten quite a bit.

However, in Ye Qiu’s view, though many people to him were like ants, let alone animals which he completely disregarded, he was not someone who naturally loved to kill either.

What’s so good about bear paws, anyway?

As they got back into the car, Boss Zhong had just made a call to the officials, who were naturally very pleased to hear that the potential source of the viral outbreak might have been found.

Boss Zhong arranged to have some black mud sent to the officials, so Russian university students could research whether those viruses were indeed present.

Back at the settlement area, Ye Qiu found that there were indeed more buildings here, whereas very few had been seen from afar earlier.

Back there, Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting got out of the car.

It was a community of Chinese, resembling a small city back home. There were many shops, restaurants, and hotels, as well as people from The East Ocean, Korea, and nearby Russians who frequently shopped here.

It’s not a Chinatown, but it functions much like one.

Having been here for two days, Ye Qiu hadn’t had a look around yet.

It seemed like now was a good time to take Zhou Wenting and explore.
