Author: 橘子

T/N:Surprise! It's my birthday soon (the 23rd of Nov. in my time zone is in a few hours), and what better way to celebrate then to work! Haha just kidding, but thank you all for putting up with my suddenly slow schedule! To be honest, today was the first day since my country shut down where I felt joy. That's part of why I translated an extra chapter. I gotta share the happiness somewhere! I'll be done with this series soon. There are only 103 total chapters and we are at 87! I'll see if I can translate shorter stories in the future. I don't know how people do those 500+ chapters in a reasonable reading time frame. Props to them!

In order to eliminate the risk of an infectious disease from spreading, Long Ao issued an order and forced everyone to give blood samples for testing. Since the disease was likely to be brought in by the people from the 03 base, the soldiers from 03 Base needed to be checked first. Commander Feng, who concealed the fact that people contracted some sort of infectious disease on their side of the base, knew he was in the wrong. In order to avoid expulsion from East One Base, he took the initiative to hand over a lot of their food and supplies to the East One Base as an apology.

Zhang Gang, as a person who exhibited symptoms of contacting this disease, was the first to undergo an examination. Qiao Chen personally drew the blood from him for the lab tests. Then he followed up with a physical examination. Qiao Chen determined that it was a case of a food-based poisoning. There was something that he ate that he shouldn't have. Zhang Gang didn't have any signs that pointed to either a bacterial or viral infection.

Zhang Gang tried his best to recall everything he had eaten in the past few days. After spending some time thinking about it, Zhang Gang concluded that it was probably during the munitions factory mission in the mountains. He had picked a stalk of glass and held it in his mouth. This was probably what caused his poisoning. Fortunately, this was a poison with a simple structure. Qiao Chen understood it easily. Qiao Chen helped prescribe him medication that would help. He would be back to his regular old self within two to three days.

Long Ao gave him a severe reprimand, "What kind of times are we living in now? What kind of environment are we in nowadays? How could you just grab a random piece of grass and stuff it in your mouth?"

Zhang Gang lowered his head and accepted the criticisms without a single idea of arguing or defending himself. However, he still felt that he was lucky enough not be infected with any infectious diseases. Qiao Chen called Commander Feng and Sun Bin into his office after the results for the first batch of soldiers from 03 Base were complete. Long Ao was naturally Qiao Chen's messenger, so he was the one to call them over.

Qiao Chen spread copies of the inspection results on the table and said, "Of the initial batch of soldiers from 03 Base that were tested, three of them have this infectious disease you were talking about in their bodies."

"Th- three?" Commander Feng looked at Qiao Chen in shock and uttered. Qiao Chen had actually found three soldiers who were infected with the disease in only the first batch to be tested.

Qiao Chen looked at Sun Bin standing behind Mr. Feng and said, "You are one of them."

"Impossible!" Sun Bin glared at Qiao Chen and said loudly. "How wouldn't I know if I really contracted this disease? If I truly were infected, then how would I be asymptomatic? I'm sure you just slandering me to exact you revenge on me!"

Qiao Chen threw the test report over, "You can rest the results yourself. If you still can believe it, then why don't you ask one of your doctors? We'll provide a place for them to test your blood again, so you can see the results."
