Chapter 432: The Virus Outbreak Besieges the City 14
The traffic jam at the front end of the Beiming Bridge was the first group of people who planned to cross the bridge, and they avoided the virus infected by the dense crowd in the urban area, and although they were stuck on the bridge in embarrassment, they were still healthy.
However, because he was bent on fleeing for his life, he did not prepare dry food, but although no one was allowed to pass on the other side, he would use transport planes to airdrop supplies every day to ensure that the people stuck on the bridge did not die of starvation due to the virus.
Bai Lu synthesized the previous news and heard, and calculated that there are about 30,000 healthy people left in the entire Xiaming City.
The topography of the whole Xiaming Island is high on both sides and low in the middle, among them, the South Ming is higher than the North Ming.
Because Nanming District is the highest and far from the epicenter of the virus outbreak in Zhongxia District, it should have the most survivors, according to the statistics of the last data, including the 8,000 passengers stranded at Nanming District International Airport, a total of about 16,000 people survived.
The terrain of Beiming District is lower than that of Nanming District, but the suburbs are larger, and if it were not for the pollution of the water tank in the community where Bai Lu is located, then the residential area would still be unharmed. Bai Lu estimated that with the 5,000 people blocked on the Beiming Bridge and the auxiliary bridge section at this time, about 10,000 people in the entire Beiming District are still healthy.
As for the remaining 4,000 people, most of them are scattered in various corners of Xiaming City, and the proportion is uncertain.
But one thing is certain, the Midsummer District must be the least, and that place has completely fallen.
Bai Lu guessed well, on the large electronic map of the Central Emergency Rescue Group. The use of red, which means "warning" and "danger", to represent the number of people infected with the virus, I saw that hospitals, bustling business districts, and even the entire Zhongxia District were all red.
The green color is used to represent the vitality, that is, the uninfected people, and the map shows that it is mainly concentrated in (1) near the cross-sea bridge in Beiming District, (2) Xiaming International Airport in Nanming District, (3) the entire roundabout coast of Xiaming Island, and (4) scattered in some mountainous and forested highlands.
As for black. then represents darkness. It is used to mark those who have been poisoned and then "resurrected", tentatively called "venom corpses", and the red areas on the electronic map are constantly turning black, indicating that those infected have died of poison and transformed into binary strong acids.
When I think of Xiaming City, there were originally more than 500,000 people. A sudden virus. As a result, less than 1/10 of the population remains. The hearts of all the people were sad.
Of course, it's more about fear.
Because, the increase in the number of infected people has never stopped. Everyone is in danger, and no one can guarantee that they will survive this disaster with no end in sight.
The sub-team of the Central Emergency Rescue Committee has proposed that the healthy people in Xiaming City be transported out by transport planes and isolated for observation, so as to save their lives on the one hand and develop an antidote on the other.
But this was opposed by conservatives, who feared that the highly contagious virus would be so deep that people from Xia Ming City would bring it out, a move that would endanger the truly healthy billion people in the country, and cause the destruction of the country and even the entire human race.
After much debate, the conservative argument was tacitly acquiesced:
We need to trap the devouring virus in Xia Ming Island, no matter what, we must not let it out, and if necessary, we must destroy the entire Xia Ming Island!
Bai Lu, who is still near the auxiliary bridge of the Beiming Bridge, and the survivors of the city, of course, do not know that the entire Xiaming Island may be destroyed.
The so-called destruction is to completely wipe out and make Xia Ming Island disappear from the face of the earth.
There is no need to question the technology and weapons of 2053, according to conservatives, even if nuclear weapons are used, they will not be able to let the devouring virus flow out of Xia Ming Island.
Although people did not expect the possible use of nuclear weapons, they knew that they could not get out until the virus was thoroughly studied, until the antidote was successfully developed.
Among the 30,000 survivors of Xiaming City, of course, some scientific researchers are included, after all, when the development was first developed, the government recruited a large number of talents from all over the world to build the new area.
In the early days of the virus outbreak, when communication was still unimpeded, these survivors seized the time to contact their respective scientific research institutes, university laboratories or private R&D centers, and passed on a lot of information about the virus and infected people to their colleagues, mentors, and classmates who were not in Xiaming City.
This nature was later compiled into the scientific research department, the biology department, and the medical department of the Central Emergency Rescue Center, and they are the most valuable information.
After the communication was lost, the survivors certainly did not give up on the study of the virus.
The initial direction of the various groups is the same, and the first question is to figure out, where does the virus come from?
Needless to say, the first patient who died on September 19, 2053 at the First Hospital of Zhongxia District was a crucial entry point.
However, due to the fact that the first patient was paralyzed in Zhongxia District, and the family members and caregivers of the first patient had died, or transformed into a "venom corpse", all parties could only find the nominal information of the patient from the online medical system:
Chen Youfa, male, 42 years old, a native of Xiaming City, is a sailing yacht maintainer by profession.
He is an employee of the Xia Ming Yacht Association, and his daily work is to provide professional escrow services and boat maintenance management for sailboats, yachts and other tourism and leisure sports vessels, including the cleaning and maintenance of the boats, and the maintenance of sailors for the shipowners when they go to sea.
The wife of the family is a full-time housewife, a son, a daughter, parents are still alive, and there is a brother and a family of four.
According to the online registration of the Human Resources Security Center, Chen Youfa resigned from the Xia Ming Yacht Association about a month ago, and there is evidence that Chen Youfa was hired as an exclusive yacht maintenance engineer by a wealthy expatriate who came to Xia Ming Island for a vacation, and the salary was very high.
Thursday, September 19, the eighth day of August.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Chen Youfa, who was somehow sore all over his body, vomited and diarrhea and had a high fever that did not go away, was sent to the First Hospital of Zhongxia District by his family, and the hospital initially diagnosed him with ordinary food poisoning.
Therefore, mannitol dehydrator and hypertonic glucose were alternately injected intravenously, and diuretics and dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection were used at the same time, but Chen Youfa remained unconscious.
About three hours later, around 1 p.m., Chen You woke up, but he was agitated and babbling, and not long after, he had symptoms of bleeding from his mouth and nose.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Chen Youfa's seven tricks of dirty blood gushed out, and finally his heart stopped beating and he was taken to the morgue.
At the same time, Chen Youfa's wife, son, daughter, as well as the attending doctor and ward nurse all fell ill, and the symptoms were also body aches, vomiting and diarrhea, and a high fever did not go away......
Within a few days, all the people who had been in contact with Chen Youfa died violently.
The survivor research team believes that the people and things that Chen Youfa came into contact with before being sent to the hospital are extremely suspicious, and the possibility of people who are mad about dropping the virus into Xiaming City cannot be ruled out.
The wealthy foreign businessman who came to Xia Ming Island for vacation is very suspicious!
