Chapter 420: Virus Outbreak Besieges the City 02
What does it mean to be more than a zombie virus?
Could it be that even if you are not bitten by the patient, you will still be infected? Bai Lu's little heart shrank suddenly, does it mean that the active virus can be transmitted through the air?
In that case, it's useless even if you go out of town!
With doubts, Bai Lu quickly found the key point of "transmission route". It has been described that the virus can be transmitted through direct contact with the patient's fluid, or contact with the patient's skin, mucous membranes, etc., to appease the small heart, but fortunately it is not spread by the air.
However, in fluids, the blood and excretions of patients are the most infectious, and secretions such as saliva, sweat, and tears also contain live viruses.
In short, a touch with the patient is over!
The most terrifying thing is that the virus spreads rapidly and multiplies in large numbers in the human body, attacking multiple organs, causing them to deform, necrosis and slowly decompose, resulting in further mutation after the infected person dies of internal and external bleeding!
This is what is known as the third stage.
It has not yet been determined why the dead infected have re-"moved", they do not seek fresh flesh and bite the living like zombies, but they will involuntarily wander around and crawl.
According to the only experimental reports, the fluid after the death of the infected person will be transformed into a binary inorganic strong acid due to the remutation of the virus, and it will be touched wherever it goes.
In particular, this acidic substance is extremely destructive, and all non-living objects that come into contact with it will be corroded, including steel and insulating materials, and living people and animals will naturally be infected after contact.
In other words. I just have to sit and wait to die!
Scientists named this new rare virus "devouring" based on its characteristics, which means devouring and destroying.
Bai Lu calculated that the origin of her time and space is still thirty or forty years away from the year 2053 where this mission is located, and she plans to write an anonymous letter: "In 38 years, the island city called "Xia Ming City" on the southeast coast of our country will fall into the disaster of a mutant virus, and I implore the relevant departments of the state to develop an antidote in advance and take preventive measures......
Well, no matter how you write it. It should all be after the task is completed. It's time to go back to the origin of time and space.
Bai Lu pulled back her thoughts and asked the customer Ms. Yang Lei to "go out of the city": Why didn't the customer directly ask to evacuate before the outbreak of the virus?
If you have the next order to "leave Xiaming City before the outbreak of the virus", I said. It is done in minutes. Of course. Bai Lu knew it in his heart. If the order task is so simple, then why does the company still support her as a salesman.
Flip back to the date: October 3, 2053, the node where Bai Lu entered. It has been two weeks since the first case of the virus was wiped out, that is to say, Xia Ming City has already fallen half at this moment!
While Bai Lu digested the information, it just happened to fit the original body, she opened her eyes and looked at the environment, this is a small suite that the Yang family's parents paid a down payment for their daughter to buy, two bedrooms and one living room, 60 square meters, very suitable for the single Yang Lei to live.
As a newly developed city, Xiaming City is not short of land resources, so there is no need to build residential houses into high-rise buildings, therefore, most of the residential buildings are designed to be 8-12 floors high, Yang Lei lives in a total of 10 floors, with elevators, a ladder of 4 households, she is on the 7th floor.
This floor height is not bad, and even if the elevator is broken, it is easier to walk up and down the stairs.
Friday, September 19, 2053, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month.
This was the time of death of the first patient who devoured the virus, but it did not attract the attention of the surrounding cities at this time, after all, the country is too big and the population is too large, and hundreds or thousands of people die every day for different reasons, so it is not surprising that someone dies in the hospital.
However, on the night of the first death of the virus, when eight people, including the family members and caregivers of the deceased, showed symptoms at the same time, the hospital in Xiaming City became nervous, and they quickly reported to the city's Health Bureau, Epidemic Quarantine Bureau and other relevant departments.
On Saturday, September 20th, the weather was cloudy.
The eight people who were hospitalized the day before all vomited and had diarrhea and a high fever that did not go away, and the health department of Xiaming City immediately reported the situation to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

At 7 a.m., 2 of the 8 people hospitalized showed symptoms of bleeding from the nose and mouth.

At 20:10 p.m., three of the eight people hospitalized the day before died due to rapid organ failure.
At 0:40 a.m., the entire hospital was paralyzed.
……

At 5:15 a.m., a traffic accident occurred on the main road in front of the city's No. 1 Hospital, due to a man covered in blood crossing the road and being hit by a passing vehicle, and the driver of the car lost contact with his family after taking the man to the hospital.

However, on Thursday afternoon, when Yang Lei's colleagues were about to drive across the Beiming Bridge, the road was already closed—
