Chapter 333 : Nangong Iren

Iren felt like he was thrown from a high place. This was really dire. The pandemic that occurred five years ago really left a deep wound in everyone's heart. The pandemic that lasted for three years had taken the lives of many people closest to them. If that happened again, Iren really didn't know what to do.

"Are you serious?" Yihshyong's voice was a bit stuttering.

"The doctor said so, Uncle," Tsaehorng replied.

"But if that's true,then the proper authorities must have issued an order to quarantine everyone who was currently in that hospital. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must have come to us," Chioujen said.

"We've all been vaccinated," said Jenqyih.

"That's right, Uncle," said Tsaehorng. "The doctors said that Juger's condition did not endanger anyone. So they did not apply quarantine procedures to him."

"Juger already got the vaccination, right?" Asked Iren.

"That's it, Uncle. In accordance with government regulations, we will only hire people who have been vaccinated against the raging virus several years ago."

"Maybe there is a certain condition of his body that makes him sick," said Yihshyong. "I'm not saying he's not sick because of a virus or bacteria. But certain conditions that Juger has may make him more susceptible."

Chioujen nodded. "This could be another virus whose symptoms are similar to those of the disease that became a pandemic five years ago."

"We have some things to clear up first." Jenqyih also opened his mouth. "The pandemic that started five years ago and ended two years ago has not hit everywhere. There were places that had not been touched by the pandemic."

"You're right," Chioujen said. "This happened because, at that time, there were many areas that immediately isolated themselves as soon as the epidemic broke out in other areas. They did not allow anyone to enter their areas. Therefore, those areas were relatively safe."

Jenqyih continued his words. "This gigantic city and its surrounding areas and our New World Capital and its surrounding areas were two of dozens of areas that were relatively safe."

"I guess," said Iren. "That's one of the reasons why people here don't seem to understand how bad things can get if the virus manages to spread widely."

"I hope this is all just a false alarm. Hopefully Juger recovers from his illness soon. Now it's better if we discuss other things. What do you think?"

Yihshyong's remarks closed their conversation about the pandemic. Iren was relieved Yihshyong stopped the conversation on that topic. Their area of origin, namely Yeuandong, was one of the many areas that had been severely affected. Talking about the topic in their hometown would usually make people fight each other because of differences of opinion that sometimes were difficult to bridge.

The pandemic had truly had extraordinary consequences in all aspects of life. Unlike in other areas where the most obvious impact was in the economic sector, in Yeuandong, the pandemic resulted in a multi-dimensional crisis. Even in the political field, the local government was almost overthrown. Political adventurers ruthlessly take advantage of an unfavorable situation to discredit the government, which had worked hard. Luckily, the worst didn't happen. There were still many good people who had sincerely worked hard to prevent further damage from happening.

Yihshyong looked at the clock hanging on the wall. He then turned his gaze to Chioujen and Tsaehorng. "I think you should leave now."

Chioujen and Tsaehorng nodded. They quickly got up and got ready to leave. However, at that moment, a familiar sound startled them.

Ring!

Everyone stopped moving.

Ring!
