227. Resident Evil
"I definitely didn't expect that the Dark Council would be able to make such a thing by not paying attention to scientific research, but emphasizing cultivation and level improvement. "When the CDC experts arrived, they found that they had been excluded from the core research team, and the core team was composed of people who had never met before, except for a few guys who were considered by the mainstream academic community to be outliers and weirdos. Naturally, among these people were the director of the Biochemical Research Institute of the Truth Society, several alternative scientists from the Federation of Strangers, and Insula was also present. Because of the results obtained by Sulla after more than ten hours of careful study, he made the above assertion.
Attention to this laboratory began when Ferry retrieved a body from the morgue and applied for a fully enclosed laboratory. But almost from the moment Zuo Lin walked into the laboratory, the communication between the laboratory and the outside world was restricted. In the experiments that Zuo Lin conducted inside, all kinds of data were disguised, and then handed over to ordinary virologists, pathologists, and so on who didn't know much about the mysterious field.
There is no doubt that the virus was spread by the Dark Council. The severe stench of corpses on the infected people is enough evidence of the presence of Orphe, the necromancer director in Los Angeles, who was only a little distance from San Diego at this time. And the characteristics of the virus itself make everyone's scalp tingle. It was indeed not an ordinary virus, but an extremely terrifying product of corpse poison. Zuo Lin is not a virologist or a cell biologist, his dissection is mainly to cut open the corpse to observe the way the virus acts, just through observation, he found that the virus is not eroding or corroding the human body, but transforming the human body. If the dead person cannot be cremated within 48 hours, the virus will take over the entire body, and then the dead person will be able to stand up and attack the living person.
When cell life scientists, virologists, and so on enter the laboratory to assist in research, more discoveries emerge one by one. The structure of the virus is extremely strange, and it has the characteristics of resistant to Exococcus radiata, extremophilic bacteria, and so on. Corrosion-resistant Echinococcus is also known as an undead bacterium, which is able to reproduce its own DNA fragments through a special mechanism, no matter how it is destroyed, as long as it does not exceed the final bottom line of Radiation-resistant Echinococcus, it can return to its original ecology, or even stronger. And extremophilic bacteria are something else. Extremophiles are usually only found in the depths of some caves, where acid flows instead of river water. Extremophilic bacteria, on the other hand, are able to survive in acid.
This kind of mixture, which I don't know how to make, is far more dangerous than everyone expected. As soon as the results of the research came out, the command of the fight against the virus issued the highest level of jǐng order. Almost the entire city of San Diego was completely blocked. All citizens will be quarantined through three lanes, and those who are not infected with the virus will be immediately evacuated from Santiago, temporarily resettled in the areas designated by the zhèng fǔ, and the entire city will be disinfected and cleaned up on a large scale. It also depends on the situation to decide what to do after that.
The word loss is no longer appropriate at this time, and it is not very important to assess the loss of such a disaster. What matters is how to help as many ordinary people as possible in areas where the virus is being affected. The three quarantine corridors are certainly a solution, but they are also likely to become a window to vent the serious dissatisfaction with the lockdown and quarantine under the fierce emotions of the local residents and cause a disaster, and everything depends on the ability of the current virus control headquarters.
"There's another problem," a cell biologist named Subic suddenly said, "the virus spreads strangely. I tested the infection and so on, the infection cannot be carried out through the air, and the infection and reinfection are formed by the grade difference. ”
"Grade difference?" everyone was stunned.
Subic nodded and continued, "That is, if the first infected person is infected with 100, the second infected person is probably between 50 and 70, and the third level is between 30 and 35. are slightly more than half of the original infection. Considering the characteristics of this virus, I think that different infections do not also mean that after death, after being transformed, the combat effectiveness may be different. ”
Subic's words caused the rest of the people to feel jǐng. Another virologist thought for a moment and said, "That's very strange, the current paradigm map of virus transmission does not fit into this hierarchical structure. I'm afraid there's another explanation......"
"Needless to say, there are still people in the Dark Council who are spreading the virus in San Diego. "Everyone understands now.
“…… That's it. The more efforts the outside continue to control the situation, the process of disposing of the corpses must be accelerated, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to use the humane cremation method that you are used to, it will be too late. …… Since it is corpse poison and necromancy, then, Father Bruce, please inform Rome at once that the equipment for mass production and sprinkling of holy water will be in place as soon as possible. …… Also, how many people are willing to enter the virus-infected area together and snipe those guys from the Dark Council?" Zuo Lin quickly thought of what to do, and immediately commanded succinctly. Although the vast majority of these people were not his subordinates, they all agreed.
Zolin originally proposed to enter San Diego to snipe the virus mongers of the Dark Council, and did not expect many people to participate. Corpse poison is not fun after all, even if it is him, even if he encounters a situation where he is contaminated with a little corpse poison, it will take a lot of effort to get rid of it. Druids are not afraid of ambushes and the like, and since they are not contagious through the air, this risk is worth taking. But there were so many people who signed up to participate in it that Zuo Lin was surprised. The two reserve knights who followed Father Bruce, Ferry, who had just prepared the laboratory for Zorin, an abysswalker and a pure-blood witch of the Truth Society, and others all asked to follow along. In the end, Zuo Lin had no choice but to take on the responsibility of a captain and chose a total of 10 people. Zorin, Emile and Insula naturally included, and since it was not good to join the druids more, the 3 druids were okay. In addition, it is the two reserve knights, the Holy Light and Holy Water of the Holy See, which is an excellent nemesis for the necromancy, and it is strange not to use that. Ferry didn't make the cut, and was replaced by another ability, Dunleavy, known as the Magnet King, whose ability was to control metal, just like the Magnet King in Jan. Once you encounter the enemy, with him, whether you are in close combat or distant combat, the opponent will suffer a great loss. Of the two people in the Truth Society, Zuo Lin chose the Abyss Walker McCreid, who was undoubtedly much more useful than the witch who had limited melee and long-range combat abilities and specialized in the attack of the Jīng God. The other three are a virologist, a local jīng English jǐng officer who is very familiar with the situation, and a veteran special forces officer in the city's anti-terrorist operations.
In order not to be alarmed, they did not enter the city from the direction where the flow of people who had heard the announcement and began to move towards several quarantine points might have passed, but pretended to be a team of staff carrying out regular patrols and used helicopters to a food and water distribution point in the city center before setting off. The food distribution point itself may also have been a focus of the attack, and although Ferry was not selected for the 10-man team, he came to the distribution point with him. The members of the First Team of the Wilderness Enforcers, who had already arrived in San Diego and had not had a chance to intervene in the situation, were unwittingly dispatched to various distribution points and to the emergency departure center of the indoor fire brigade.
"Be careful. Zolin told Emile. Emile, whose strength has not fully recovered, nodded, although she never thought that she was the kind of girl who needed to be cared for, but it was not annoying to receive such care.
Perhaps because Emile's body had not yet healed, they had been forming a rough arc since they entered the city, enclosing Emile in the center, while Zorin, Insula and Dunleavy formed a triangle. You can support each other at any time, or you can support everyone in the team. The first place they entered was San Diego Memorial Hospital, which virologists and mathematicians had speculated to be the first center of the virus's transmission.
Even if the surrounding area is closed and isolated, at least there are still people alive now. The spread of the virus cannot be carried out in complete disregard of the law of distance.
The city's water supply and electricity supply are still very normal, although because everyone is in danger, and because some desperate guys are smashing the streets, so that the road is deserted and there are almost no people in sight, but it is still possible to detect that in the houses on both sides of the street, there is some curiosity about their strange people who are still wearing laboratory white robes on the outside of the black special forces equipment, tactical vests and guns. Those eyes full of various moods flashed and haunted around them.
The news from the headset that "there is a corpse mutiny ......in Area 22" frustrated their preparations for a serious search. District 22 now has only one food and water distribution station, and there are fewer than a dozen resident staff and jǐng guards. Moreover, it is not an area with a high incidence of the virus, and everyone seems to have overlooked this place.
"Let's go, let's rush to support first. Helicopters have flown over. After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Lin looked at Insula and made a decision.
The situation in the 22 districts was far worse than they expected. Although District 22 is not a high-risk area, it is home to one of the largest industrial incinerators in the city, which has been used to dispose of corpses. When the number of corpses piled up to a certain level, and the staff had been far behind the schedule, this extremely terrible situation finally occurred.
Without hesitation, Dunleavy smashed open a roadside grocery store, and with great skill, he turned a pile of spirits into an incendiary bomb and threw it at the slowly moving zombie horde. Zombies don't feel anything, and although the flames destroyed the first few zombies, they couldn't stop the hundreds of zombies behind them from wading through the flames and rushing towards them, the living people who could be clearly felt.
"Evacuate everyone, and then notify the headquarters to send helicopters, helicopter gunships, and prepare enough incendiary bombs. The special forces officer had never seen such a scene before, and although his face was a little pale, he was still very shrewd in his command to the pilot who was getting the staff and Jǐng Wei onto the plane.
"Yes, sir, what are you going to do? The pilot asked rhetorically with concern.
"It's okay, leave us alone. We are safe. The special forces officer said this, but in fact, he himself was not very confident. The scene in front of me is just like what you see in the movie. Anyway, don't let yourself fall into the point that you don't even have a chance to commit suicide, in the bottom of my heart, this officer who has repeatedly wandered on the edge of life and death thinks so.
