Chapter 12: Meeting ()

At 11:30 am on September 7, Zhongjiang First Hospital.

Gao Fei hurried into the special ward marked Room 311 and saw his son sitting on the hospital bed with an infusion.

"Dad." The son shouted happily, but his expression was a little haggard.

Gao Fei walked over with big strides, squatted in front of his son, stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his son's little head: "Good, huh, did Tuantuan cry when he was given the injection just now?"

"No." The 4-year-old son raised his head proudly: "Tuantuan didn't cry, Tuantuan is a man, and the aunt who gave the injection praised Tuantuan for being brave."

"Good son." Gao Fei kissed his son's white and tender little face lovingly.

"How did my son get sick this time?" Gao Fei raised his head and asked the woman sitting by the bed. This was a young woman with pretty eyes, about 28-29 years old, wearing a white coat, and she was Gao Fei's ex-wife, Yu Xiao, a doctor from the First Hospital.

"Isn't it an old problem?" Yu Xiao sighed and said, "Asthma caused by cold and cough."

Gao Fei sighed softly. His son developed asthma due to a cold and cough when he was 1 year old. After three years, even though Yu Xiao has found countless respiratory experts and taken countless medicines, his son's asthma not only has not been cured, but has tended to develop into stubborn asthma. Yu Xiao said that if asthma cannot be cured before the age of 7, it will not be cured from then on.

"I remember when we were young, I was sick and had colds and fevers. Very few people had pneumonia. Unlike now, children's illnesses were either pneumonia or asthma, and the incidence rate remained high!" Yu Xiao said angrily: "The current environmental pollution is simply too serious!"

Environmental pollution! It’s environmental pollution again! Human beings have made great achievements in the past few decades of economic development and their living standards have also been greatly improved. However... all of this is at the cost of environmental pollution, and it is the generation of their son who is paying for environmental pollution! No matter how much medicine you take, you breathe bad air every day - how can asthma not worsen? Thinking about it, his son may suffer from the root of asthma for life. Gao Fei felt sad.

"By the way, I'll tell you something," Yu Xiao said hesitantly: "You have to make your own decisions on what to do."

"What's the matter?" Gao Fei looked at Yu Xiao.

"I have a junior high school classmate who is now a reporter from Zhongjiang Evening News. Yesterday, he suddenly found me and hopes to see the mayor directly through you, saying that there are very important situations to report to the mayor."

"A reporter from Zhongjiang Evening News? If he has any important things, he will go directly to the mayor?" Gao Fei frowned his eyebrows. The reporter went to the mayor. This kind of thing is too sensitive and handled with caution.

"My classmate is named Liu Xiao. On September 1, he and two friends, one are Dr. Song Qinghe from the Department of Biology, Zhongjiang Agricultural University, and the other is Professor Lin Yusen, dean of the School of Animal Research, Central South Agricultural University. They went to Qinba Mountain to inspect. It is said that they discovered some signs of major disasters."

Gao Fei's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of the three strange bones. Aren't these people the experts he wants to ask for?

"Let me do this, I'll meet them first and find out the specific situation." Gao Fei said.

Yu Xiao nodded: "Then I'll let Liu Xiao call you directly."

At 3 pm on September 7th, in a teahouse opposite the First Hospital.

Gao Fei listened quietly as Song Qinghe described the experience in Qinba Mountains, but his heart was filled with huge waves. Rat! It turned out to be a rat! The reason behind all the strange events in Qinba Mountains was that rats were making waves. It was incredible, but it was the only reason that could reasonably explain those bizarre events. The three missing people turned into bones within 5 days - it must be because they encountered a group of rats! Xie Xiaoqing was quickly knocked down by the group of rats, Guo Yaoguo struggled to climb a few meters, and why Deng Jun knelt beside the bamboo? Maybe it was because he wanted to climb up the bamboo to avoid the group of rats...

Even the strangely quiet bamboo forest was because of mice. The animals in the mountain fled from the mountain to avoid the rats...

Although Gao Fei was found out the truth about the disappearance of Guo Yaoguo and three others, he was in a heavy mood. At present, the rats in the Qinba Mountains are still in the brewing stage, and the accumulation stage is so terrible. If the rat group develops to a scale of more than 1 billion, think about the huge rat group that usually rushes from the mountainous areas to the villages, and the city... Gao Fei will be cold and will be in a state of groin.

"Although we have found a bamboo forest in the mountainous area that has 'early blooming'," Song Qinghe said frankly: "However, why does the bamboo forest 'early bloom' in advance? We do not have enough basis for whether the bamboo forests in the Qinba Mountains will bloom at the same time..."

"Wait." Gao Fei suddenly interrupted Song Qinghe and said, "I know a situation and I don't know if it is related to this matter. Some time ago, a friend who worked in a hotel told me that since June, the hot springs in the western part of Zhongjiang City, mainly Qinba Mountains, suddenly deteriorated! The hot springs that came from the ground in the past few months are dark red, bitter and astringent. If you use this water to bathe, your skin will have symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, and even ulceration..."

The hot spring has deteriorated! Song Qinghe quickly glanced at the teacher, and Lin Yusen's expression was also very shocked.

"The deterioration of hot springs indicates that the geological conditions in the western part of Zhongjiang City have changed for unknown reasons," Lin Yusen frowned and said, "The time for bamboo to bloom depends on the cycle of accumulating carbohydrates. This cycle will be affected by various factors such as climate, temperature, and geological conditions. The most important thing is the change in geological conditions. If the change in geological conditions has caused a bamboo forest to bloom in advance, then the same changes in the geological conditions of the entire western part of Zhongjiang City will inevitably lead to the blooming of bamboo forests in the western mountainous areas..." Lin Yusen's face became very pale.

"The entire western mountainous area, Qinba, Wuling and Baiyun Mountain area are 300,000 square kilometers!" Liu Xiao moaned: "Our guess in the mountainous area that day was a fact! The bamboos in the western mountainous area bloomed together... It was so terrible!"

"A great disaster is inevitable..." Song Qinghe murmured.

"The disaster has happened." Gao Fei smiled bitterly, and then told me about the disappearance of Guo Yaoguo and three others in the mountains and turned into bones.

"At that time, we found it incredible. How did the three living people turn into bones in 5 days?" Gao Fei sighed: "It's easy to explain now. They may have encountered a group of rats! The three people were gnawed in front of the crazy group of rats in the blink of an eye!"

Liu Xiao and Song Qinghe looked at each other, thinking about their experience in the mountains, they couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Lin Yusen hadn't decided to climb the tree, maybe the three people had turned into three bones...

"What's wrong? Gao Qu, your face looks ugly." Lin Yusen looked at Gao Fei with concern.

Gao Fei smiled bitterly and explained: "In order to search for the traces of Guo Yaoguo and three others, on August 30, I mobilized 177 policemen and more than 200 residents of Anchang Town into the mountains to search. If we encountered a group of rats that day... I don't know how many people would die! No wonder when I was in the mountains that day, I always felt very uncomfortable."

Several people were silent.

Lin Yusen raised his head and looked at Gao Fei and said sincerely: "Director Gao, the situation is urgent. We hope you can take us to see the mayor and report these situations to the mayor immediately."

Gao Fei nodded, but asked, "Professor Lin, have you ever reported these situations before this?"

Lin Yusen nodded and told the story about the Environmental Protection Bureau.

Gao Fei smiled bitterly: "Professor Lin, you should come to me directly. Now you are looking for the Environmental Protection Bureau first. Director Zhou of the Environmental Protection Bureau has stated that he wants to report to the higher authorities. I will take you to see the mayor... You know, after all, I am the police chief, and things in the mountainous areas fall into the category of ecological and environmental protection..."

"But that Director Zhou is just talking to us, and it is unreliable to expect him to report." Song Qinghe was a little anxious.

"Of course I know that Director Zhou is unreliable. However, the official agency has its own set of procedures and methods of doing things. If you act rashly, you may be in the opposite direction." Gao Fei sighed, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Professor Lin, do you think we can do this? Write an investigation report for this matter. I will find a way to send the report to the mayor's desk through the mayor's secretary. If the mayor is interested in reading the report, I will take you to see the mayor."

Lin Yusen nodded and said with appreciation: "This method is good. It is safe to do this without disturbing more people. It is better to consider the issue comprehensively."

"What if the mayor has no indication after reading the report?" Song Qinghe asked afterwards.

Gao Fei said slowly: "According to my understanding of the mayor, he is a leader with broad vision and open mind, and has a strong sense of responsibility for people's plans and livelihoods. I think he will never be indifferent if he sees your report."

"I hope so." Song Qinghe's tone was filled with a heavy helplessness.

"If I read it wrong, the mayor is indifferent to your report and indifferent to the upcoming ecological disaster." Gao Fei suddenly thought of his son, his son who was paying the price for the increasingly deteriorating environment, a nameless anger rose from his chest, and in an instant, Gao Fei felt his head heat up-

"I'm trying not to use this black hat, I'm going to get the matter directly into the province!" Gao Fei slapped the table!
Chapter completed!
