Chapter 512: It has appeared
In order to quickly reach the destination, he traveled on a military transport plane, which is usually a plot that only appears in Hollywood shootout movies and spy movies, and Liang Baoguang experienced the feeling of being an ace agent this time, taking a C-17 Globemaster from Incheon and arriving in Houston after transferring to Okinawa.
There is a new outbreak of smallpox in Texas, which is also a genetically programmed version of the virus, but it is not consistent with that of the South Peninsula. Because Liang Baoguang had a very brilliant performance before, the SAR immediately remembered him, and he himself put down the work at hand to cooperate in a unified manner.
Thanks to the sparsely populated state of Texas and the xenophobic traditions of the Texans, the number of infected people after the smallpox outbreak was small, and those infected were quickly quarantined. But it was smallpox after all! At this time, unlike in the past, advanced network communication technology has made the word "secret" a thing of the past, and no matter how hard the state government tries, the news will inevitably leak out, and a mass panic and mass population migration will follow.
"It's very hopeful. Liang Baoguang overlooked the highway in Houston and saw exaggerated traffic comparable to the Spring Festival transportation, and many farmers even drove their cattle to relatives in the north, making the already narrow roads even more congested.
"All men are self-interested. John Lawrence shrugged his shoulders and hoped that the country had a long period of isolation, which is typical of the selfishness of this mixed group. When the smallpox epidemic broke out in the Southern Peninsula, they didn't react much as their stepfather, but the Celestial Empire's father has been busy supporting them, and now the smallpox virus has also appeared on the land of North America, and people have finally taken action.
Liang Baoguang shook his head, selfishness is indeed the mainstream of today's society, but there are also some people who are more worthy of the title of saint than him, such as his friend Watson Chamberlain, who is a person who is keen to contribute to the disadvantaged, "Is the state government of Texas controlled by Russian spies, I don't know that allowing people to move everywhere in this way will allow the virus to spread? Don't think that we control the situation in the South Peninsula, and we can also succeed here as a matter of course." ”
Liang Baoguang has limited information in his hands, only a few images of the virus under the electron microscope, and it is difficult to judge how powerful this virus is compared to the one in the South Peninsula, but he only speculates through logical thinking, and he also knows that this new type of smallpox must be more powerful.
There were two incidents of human-caused transmission of the smallpox virus in a short period of time, and the probability of coincidence was negligible, and he could only think that the disappeared Louis Lyon had made another move. The other party must have taken the detailed information of Cao Yumin's version of the smallpox virus in the Southern Peninsula, and he knew that the virus had already developed a targeted vaccine, and he would release a second smallpox virus, which can only show that he is confident in the latter's lethality.
"We also understand this, and we will take you to the relevant experts in a moment, and they will explain the situation to you in detail. John Lawrence was very embarrassed because he knew that the people of the Hope Nation were urinating, and the so-called patriots felt that they were super invincible and cute all day long...... No, he is invincible, and he will not call for foreign aid unless he is helpless, since he asked him to come forward to find Liang Baoguang to help, he can already explain the problem.
The CDC has set up a large isolation area with a hospital outside Houston, where people who have been identified as carriers of the virus have been brought here, and the helicopter that Liang Baoguang is riding in is parked on the tarmac on the top of the hospital. ”
After mixing into the top handful, the circle is very small, Liang Baoguang's main focus on infectious diseases naturally has to deal with people from the CDC, and his counterparts in other specialties have already gathered here before him. As a sign of respect, Jeff Sven, the director of the CDC, came here to wait for him, "Paul, I'm much more at ease with you, at least no one will be lazy." ”
"yes, everybody wants to give me some color. Liang Baoguang has the least qualifications, but his mouth is unforgiving, except for those elders who have a good relationship with his father, almost all his colleagues look at him unpleasantly, he is used to the high-spirited appearance of these people when they meet him.
"Come with me to the lab, we have been working on it for several days, and there are some phased results, but we are still far from success. Jeff Swain didn't care about the eyes of the security agents who accompanied him, and shoved the information directly into Liang Baoguang's hand, "The first cases appeared on several farms in the south, and based on the course of the disease, we believe that the virus should have been brought by Mexicans who crossed the border. ”
Liang Baoguang's brows tightened, quarantine measures have been taken here in Texas, but there seems to be no movement on the other side, if the virus is really brought from the opposite side, then Mexico, which has a higher population density and a more complicated situation, will definitely suffer greater losses, "It doesn't make sense, according to what you mean, there should have been a commotion over there." ”
"That's the problem, the new smallpox virus that we're dealing with has a longer incubation period than the one in the South Peninsula, with almost no adverse symptoms at the beginning of the infection, but once it occurs, the duration of the disease is very short. Jeff Swain pouted, everyone is a doctor, it is impossible not to have compassion, but he really can't take care of the other side, "The lives of people in the south are not valuable, and a few people who died are probably buried casually, who cares how they die?"
Liang Baoguang nodded, the south side is indeed chaotic beyond imagination, even if someone dies due to smallpox infection, I am afraid that it will not attract much attention, after all, there are no dead people over there that day, "I have to find a way to remind the other side to deal with it, this is all human life!"
"Unfortunately, neither the state of Texas nor Washington would do that, and we won't be able to communicate with the outside world as long as we come in. Jeff Swain patted Liang Baoguang on the shoulder, the security agency agents standing next to them were not decorations, and they would not let them leak the news.
In the south, where health care is severely under-resourced and the public is so distrustful of the authorities that it will be difficult to control the situation even if a response is taken, the most likely course of action for desperate Mexicans is to rush into their neighbors' homes in the north. Texas farmers, as Southerners, have always believed in white supremacy, and they will never sit idly by.
Liang Baoguang sighed, if they didn't want too many people to die, they had to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible.
