Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 557 - 428: Farewells

"This mission won’t be easy."

Gao Jun saw Zhao Heng accept without hesitation and sighed while saying, although Zhao Heng would be responsible for second-line work this ti, working in the World Health Organization’s bio-lab set up in Africa, it was still far from easy.

Not to ntion the working environnt, facing the Hemorrhagic Ebola, the most lethal ultimate virus in human history, the pressure was imnse.

"To be honest, if this situation were happening in our own country, I’d have nothing more to say and would rush straight to the front line, but this outbreak in New Guinea, I feel that things might not be so simple."

Zhao Heng also spoke frankly; for foreigners, risking one’s life is a level of international humanitarianism he couldn’t claim to have reached yet.

However, if it were his own country, it would be a different story; viruses are not sothing you can completely avoid, even if you wish to.

"You’re not wrong. For the mont, we must gather a basic understanding of the situation, rather than being completely ignorant. As for solving this issue, the United Nations Health Organization will naturally handle it."

Director Liu Shangming also agreed as he spoke.

"I will handle the center’s work for this period, Xiao Zhao. This trip might last one or two weeks, or at most, one or two months. Make sure to explain the situation clearly to your family."

Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng.

"Is this okay to disclose?"

Hearing Gao Jun said that, Zhao Heng asked with so doubt. He thought these matters would be strictly confidential.

"This virus outbreak happened in New Guinea, and New Guinea is an island nation that simply doesn’t have the capacity to lock down information. Now, international news is all over this matter, so it’s not much of a secret anymore."

Gao Jun nodded and said.

An obscure island nation in the Pacific Ocean suddenly experiencing an outbreak of a deadly virus originating from Africa, no matter how you think about it, is very bizarre.

"Let’s hope it isn’t what we think it might be."

Director Liu Shangming said heavily. As the director, he had more information.

If the Hemorrhagic Ebola outbreak in New Guinea is a natural disaster, then it would be unfortunate for the island nation, but if it’s man-made, the situation becos really terrifying.

Following that, Director Liu Shangming and Gao Jun conveyed many more details to Zhao Heng.

The departure was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, so today and tomorrow, Zhao Heng must handle his current tasks effectively.

Returning from the director’s office to the ward, Zhao Heng called Li Yang and Liu ng to the deputy director’s office.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Heng poured coffee for the two.

Seeing Zhao Heng like this, Liu ng and Li Yang exchanged a glance, wondering if sothing had happened.

"The ministry asked to make a business trip; the duration is uncertain. After I leave, the teacher will take charge, but primarily on professional matters, it will still be up to both of you."

Zhao Heng said to Liu ng and Li Yang, having been very satisfied with their performance since they joined the ward.

Regarding professionalism or other aspects, both of them were doctors capable of taking great responsibility.

"A business trip? Why the sudden trip?"

Liu ng asked with much confusion, knowing that the center was just taking off, and it was a crucial ti for its developnt. At this ti, soone as central as Zhao Heng was indispensable.

"Could it be a sudden public health incident?"

Li Yang speculated, seeing Zhao Heng’s solemn expression, a total contrast from his usual deanor.

’Previously, Zhao Heng was composed, poised, and confident, no matter the difficulty of the case, unlike now, where he seed unsure.’

"Have you heard about the situation in New Guinea?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said to the two of them.

Since both Director Liu and Gao Jun ntioned that the situation in New Guinea was no longer a secret, he could talk about it with Li Yang and Liu ng as well.

"I’ve heard about it; in the past few days, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean inexplicably erupted with Hemorrhagic Ebola."

Li Yang nodded and said.

"That is indeed inexplicable. New Guinea and Hemorrhagic Ebola’s origin, Africa, are separated by an entire Pacific Ocean."

"Director, are you being sent to New Guinea?"

Liu ng abruptly asked.

Knowing how terrifying Hemorrhagic Ebola can be, even watching related interviews and docuntaries post-outbreak made it terrifying, let alone being in close proximity to Ebola patients.

"Yes, but I’m not going to New Guinea, I’m going to a United Nations Health Organization bio-lab in Africa. If all goes well, I’ll be back in about a week."

Zhao Heng explained sowhat.

The Ebola outbreak in New Guinea, frankly speaking, anyone with a bit of insight knows there’s a big issue here.

"There are rumors that soone released a bioweapon in New Guinea, but I think it’s possible soone in Africa was infected, and it spread to New Guinea through a flight?"

Li Yang contemplated and said.

New Guinea is not the origin of Hemorrhagic Ebola, so the outbreak there has only two possibilities Li Yang ntioned: either soone released a bioweapon, or Africa already had an outbreak, and it spread to New Guinea through flights.
