Chapter 2 The Plague

In the conference room on the first floor of the National Center for Infectious Disease Research and Prevention, the small conference room is full of people at the moment. Everyone present had a solemn expression on their faces. From June, in the south of our country, an outbreak of a plague began. Someone in the room was making a report that the patient's initial symptoms were very similar to those of the flu. From the first case of the patient, in just a few weeks now, it has spread from local to the whole country. The speed with which the plague spread and the high mortality rate were unprecedented in history. And so far, we have few effective treatments. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to deal with the plague.

In addition to experts from the medical field, a special organization was also involved in this meeting. They are the Panel of National Security Advisers. What made those present feel strange was that it was not medical professionals who presided over the meeting, but the head of the national security special advisory group -- Lei Fu.

Reif, there is hardly any information about him in the official report. only knows that he is a southerner, and his height of 1.6 meters makes people look very much like an actor - Zeng Zhiwei.

"I believe you all already know the purpose of inviting you here today. Time is tight, and I don't want to listen to any more reports, nor do I want to listen to your medical jargon. I only have one purpose here, I want to know what we should do next?" Lei Fu, who was sitting at the conference table, looked at everyone present, "Everyone here is the top experts in China, don't tell me until now, you still have no choice!"

Leifu's words made many people present bow their heads!

"Team Leader Lei, I understand your feelings very well, but it takes time to study treatments and vaccines......

Refu knocked on the table, interrupting the other man's speech. They didn't know Reif, but before they came, Reif had already investigated everyone present. Minister Li, who spoke, has been working in the national health department for more than ten years, and he can be said to be a complete old fritter.

"Again, I want to know what we should do next?"

Obviously, Minister Li was a little unhappy that he had just been interrupted by Lei Fu. After all, he has always had the final say here.

Silence, probably after a few minutes. Sitting at the back of the conference table, a young doctor spoke.

"We shouldn't be blocking news now. Instead, they should be informed and updated on the situation in real time. Hospitals should also be notified to set up special work areas to facilitate isolation. And remind the general public to try not to go to or go to places with large crowds to avoid infection. More importantly, we need to set up a special emergency health team and a medical team, one to do a good job of preventing the epidemic in advance, the other to actively study treatments, and I suggest that we can also try to apply for the assistance of international medical organizations. ”

"No!" Minister Li was the first to stand up and object. "Because in this way, it is easy to cause panic among the masses of the people!"

"What's your name?" Obviously, Lei Fu didn't seem to care about Minister Li's words, but asked directly to the person who had just spoken boldly. Minister Li on the side looked at Lei Fu, and his whole face was completely blackened.

"My name is Chen Jiahao, and I just came back from the United States a year ago!" replied.

Reifer glanced at it, a very handsome young man. Lei Fu unconsciously stood up, walked up to Minister Li, patted him on the shoulder, but shouted Ah Liang.

This is a young man who pushed the door and walked in, looking to be in his thirties, born in the military, walking heroically, 1.75 meters tall, although not tall, but he was born in special forces, but he gave people a different temperament. At the moment, he can be said to be Reif's assistant and bodyguard. No one knew that this young man was not only good at hand-to-hand combat, but also proficient in English, French, Russian, Korean, and Japanese.

He came to Reif's side and handed him the folder.

"Three months ago, the first case of infection appeared in the south of our country. A month later, a widespread outbreak of plague began in the south, and in less than two months, more than 20 of the country's more than 30 provinces had similar cases. Now that people are dying every day, you tell me, are we going to wait until everyone is infected with the plague before we report it?"

In the face of Lei Fu's questioning, the conference room was silent. However, in Minister Li's view, Lei Fu's words just now are clearly aimed at himself. He was about to get up and leave, but Lei Fu was pressed tightly to his seat and couldn't move.

"You-" Minister Li's words were interrupted by Lei Fu before he could say anything.

"From this moment on, I declare that we have entered a special period, and Professor Chan Ka Ho will be the sole responsible person for the prevention and treatment of this plague. If anyone dares to disobey his orders, or disobey him, he will be dealt with as battlefield disobedience. ”

Minister Li has been smoked by Lei Fuqi's seven orifices. "Where did you come from, little red guy!"

Lei Fu then received another appointment document from Ah Liang's hand and threw it at Minister Li and said: "See clearly, if you dare to talk more, I will remove you immediately!"

At his age, when he reached the position of Minister Li, he had never seen any storms. But this time he was really angry with Lei Fu.

After reading the document, my shaking hands didn't know if it was because I was angry or afraid.

Lei Fu asked Ah Liang to cooperate with Professor Chen's work, and if there was any need, he must meet it as soon as possible, and make every effort to do a good job in the prevention and treatment of the plague.

As soon as the meeting was over, the TV was turned on, and all the news reports were about the plague. Include some precautions and methods. Even Lei Fu sighed, this Professor Chen can move fast enough.

Back in the office, Reifou sat alone at his desk, staring at the interrogation transcript on his computer. The video was recorded in an interrogation room and was interrogated by a foreign Chinese. According to the file, the reason for the arrest of the foreign Chinese was because of a brawl with someone on the street of the city. According to the file, another group of people took the opportunity to escape during the arrest.

During the interrogation, the expatriate Chinese kept saying that the reason why he was fighting in the street was because he wanted to stop the super virus that those people were carrying. He also stressed that the super virus carried by these people this time originated from a virus research center that our country destroyed in the capital two years ago. In the video, he repeatedly stressed that the operation did not completely destroy the virus data. Some of the research data were obtained by a research institute in the United States and improved.

Reifou watched the footage over and over again, trying to find something useful in it.

"Team Leaderβ€”" A woman walked into Reif's office. looks like she is only in her twenties, with flowing medium-length hair and a camouflage outfit, which also makes her more heroic in beauty. "Are you still watching that video?"

"Dol, this case is very close to the time of our first patient. Reifou said.

"You mean, it's quite possible that everything that is said in the video is true. The woman named Do'er said.

"I can't know for sure, but we can make a bold guess that if what is said in this video is true, then this plague is likely to be a virus war waged against us by other countries with ulterior motives. Lei Fu then asked, "What happened to the things I asked you to check?"

"I'm sure the content of the video hasn't been altered. It's just that we have searched through the police operation data for the past two years, and there is no record of the destruction of the virus research center. Duo'er pointed to the person in the video and asked, "Why don't you just interrogate this person?"

"Ran!" said Reif, "he ran away the night he was held, and all information about him was false!"

After being silent for a long time, Duo'er, who was watching the video, suddenly thought of something. She asked Lei Fu if she remembered that two years ago, in the center of Beijing, an office building caught fire and exploded, and it was said that it also alarmed the military. When Duoer just checked the file, she also saw the report.

"You say, could it be the military's ......," Doll said, raising an eyebrow.

"Check it out first, and then you immediately contact the person in charge of handling this incident at the time. Reifou said.

In Lei Fu's heart, he vaguely felt that this large-scale outbreak of plague across the country was not so simple.

North, the training center of the special combat team of a certain military region.

Ah Liang drove, Lei Fu sat in the back of the car, and Duo'er sat in the co-pilot, and began to introduce the information she had found so far. There are few official records of the fire and explosion of an office building in the city center that they are talking about. After the incident, the military also came forward to deal with this matter, and the level of secrecy was even more top secret. It took her a lot of effort to find out the military region responsible for handling this matter.

Lei Fu nodded, and when he saw the number of this military region, he had already guessed it in his heart.

The car was racing towards the destination, and under the reflection of the sun, Ah Liang suddenly felt a reflection, and his years of experience in the army made him feel a hint of danger.

Braking, turning left, followed by a gunshot that narrowly missed the tires. Then I heard a hissing sound, the sound of a cannonball piercing the sky.

"Get out of the car and hide!"

As soon as everyone got out of the car, the rocket artillery hit the car directly. For the performance of this car, everyone is still very confident. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to hide by the car. It's just that everyone knows very well that even if this off-road vehicle is modified, it will definitely not be able to withstand three such attacks.

"Damn, on this bare road, haven't we become a living target. Ah Liang was about to swear in a hurry.

"The Sniper should be on the mound in front left, Doer, how are your skills?" said Refu, who reacted.

Duo'er, who had calmed down, wiped the dust on her face, and said to Lei Fu with a smile, no problem, you will see in a while!

"Duo'er, after a while, you drive, first turn right, rush out of the main road, and then turn around and move in the direction of the sniper, mainly responsible for attracting the attention of the other party. Ah Liang, you give me a sneak touch from the other side, remember that I have to live all of them!" Lei Fu looked back at Duo'er, "You must be careful of the other party's rocket artillery." ”

Ah Liang made an OK gesture and said to Lei Fu: "I said team leader, how long have we not seen this battle coming." ”

Reifou smiled and didn't answer, turned around, and rolled into the small ditch of the signpost. Duo'er also jumped into the car and rushed out of the road, while Ah Liang was stealthily attacking in the other direction. Everything was done almost at the same time.
