The doctor was administering an IV to her when he saw so many people entering. He couldn’t help but frown and scold, "Get out quickly, this is likely a new type of influenza virus. Do you all want to be infected by barging in here?"
This doctor was officially the hospital’s dean, Gu Zhihan’s father.
It was only when he turned around that Gu Zhihan and Luo Mengmeng recognized him from his fully-covered white lab coat.
"How did you two get here too!" Seeing his own children coming to this virus-infested place, Gu’s father was almost brought to tears. He quickly ushered them out, "You must both go to the disinfection room with me and get disinfected before leaving!"
"Godfather, is it some kind of contagious disease?" Luo Mengmeng followed behind him, her little head couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Gu’s father shook his head, also uncertain, "The pathogen sample has already been sent to the higher-level hospital. We still don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s very likely a new strain of the flu virus."
"Is it that serious?"
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t help but gasp.
Perceiving the little girl’s panic, Gu Zhihan tightened his grip on her small hand, silently telling her that he would always be there for her.
Whether it was diseases or natural disasters.
Luo Mengmeng felt his silent comfort, looked up, and smiled brightly at him before tightly gripping his hand back.
Not far away, Jiang Yibai watched the two holding hands with a dim gaze.
wanted to hold her hand like that too, to tell her that he would also always be by her side.
No matter the illness or disaster.
After disinfecting themselves in the disinfection room, Luo Mengmeng and her classmates from Class Ten started heading back to school.
On the way back, everyone fell into an unspoken silence, and their steps slowed down significantly.
A journey that normally took ten minutes was stretched to more than twenty minutes because
they were all afraid of being punished by the principal later.
However, when they arrived at school, they realized that numerous cars and countless parents were lined up at the school gate.
The students of School A were all walking out with their backpacks, and even the school security guard gave them a few indifferent glances before he too went back to pack up his things.
"Isn’t it just past ten o’clock now, and there is still more than an hour until school is out, why have all the parents come to pick up their children?" Luo Mengmeng walked into the school campus, asking with confusion.
Tong Mo was also extremely curious.
Gu Zhihan simply grabbed a person, "Excuse me, why are you all carrying backpacks and walking out?"
"You don’t know?" The classmate looked at Gu Zhihan and the others in surprise, quickly saying, "It’s already been broadcasted on the news. A virus called ’S’ is spreading in our country, with a very high mortality rate, and no vaccine has been developed yet. The principal has already announced the suspension of classes, and final exams are canceled; we are sent directly for summer break."
"You guys should hurry home too, the virus is everywhere out here."
After saying this, the classmate hurriedly walked outside.
Luo Mengmeng and the others looked at each other, stunned.
"Did Godfather really guess right, an outbreak of influenza!?" Luo Mengmeng was shocked.
Tong Mo quickly waved his hand, "Forget about that, let’s quickly pack up in the classroom and go home. That’s what’s important now!"
"Schools have such large crowds; it’s a favorite place for viruses, we really need to leave quickly," Jiang Yibai added.
