Chapter 145: Virus
If you want to rank all the laboratories in Qianfan City in terms of busyness, then the research institute directly under the epidemic prevention institute will undoubtedly have its own place in the top three.
From the moment the scavenger program in the low-level community was fully launched, it was inevitable that the site as a disease research center would be operating at full capacity.
At first, it was normal, but the key to the main focus of the institute was the source of the epidemic and how to effectively cure the infected.
No one expected that the development of things would gradually deviate from the proper trajectory, and halfway through the scavenger plan, it was discovered that the infected people who were supposed to be quarantined had unexpectedly changed, and the weak patients had turned into monsters like mental pollution sources.
In view of the human mutation caused by the epidemic and then transformed into a kind of spiritual pollution source monster, how to prevent this situation from happening again has become an urgent problem to be overcome.
Although No. 35 Community Hospital, as a cutting-edge station, undertook sample collection and first-hand data collection, the real research and research ultimately fell to the research institute.
Now the already busy work is even worse with a jar of black-purple liquid brought by Newcastle, but who makes the family the deputy director of the epidemic prevention center, he repeatedly emphasized that this can of pus should be put as the first priority, and the researchers below had to temporarily stop their work.
However, as the research progressed, the dangers of the pus tank made everyone feel like a host, and the number of tests continued to grow.
The researcher, dressed in a white hazmat suit, left the lab and walked forward and took off his hood to breathe a little easier, until he reached the hallway with the data recorder in hand, and saw the familiar figure at first sight.
"Newcastle, the results of the second phase of the experiment ......"
Halfway through speaking, the researcher noticed that Newcastle appeared to be asleep leaning back on a bench, tilting his head sideways, and some snoring could be faintly heard.
Looking at the middle-aged man's tired face, he thought about it, turned around and sat down next to him, with the back of his head against the wall, closed his eyes, and took a rare moment to relax.
This state did not last long before he was interrupted by a sound next to him, and he turned his head to see Newcastle turning his neck cautiously, as if he was worried about disturbing him.
"Troph, hard work. ”
Newcastle patted his old friend's thigh a little embarrassed, he didn't want to wake the other party, but his neck was too sore, and he couldn't help but want to turn around twice.
"Others say I'm hard, I admit it, as for you, forget it, it's really funny to say this from your mouth, this is the result of the second phase of the experiment, let's see...... I'll admit that you're right to be worried, this thing is more dangerous than any disease we've ever encountered!"
Shoved the recorder into Newcastle's hand, Trove waited for him to reply, and suddenly as if he thought of something, he half-held his head high, looked at the checkered striped ceiling, and said coldly,
"It's really hard for us to study medicine, you look at the other deputy directors, what kind of places do you go in and out of all day long, Meijin Restaurant, Times Night Market, you have to be a VIP, what about you, don't talk about dealing with the virus all day long, you still have to worry about this kind of thing, and you know what's the funniest, the money earned by those guys has to add two 0's to your salary!"
"Haha~ When did even you start thinking about this kind of thing, we are doctors, different from others, don't talk about me, the deputy director, our mentor, the director of the epidemic prevention institute ran here yesterday, by the way, did you see the mentor?"
Looking at the data on the screen, Newcastle replied casually.
Trove and Newcastle were classmates, and both were students of Grand.
"Mentor? ”
"It was a little past 12 o'clock, late at night, and I was going to come here to check on the situation, but I met my mentor in the hallway, and he said that he had gone to see an infected person. ”
"12 o'clock? No wonder I didn't see it, we were in a seminar at the time, and there were only a few support personnel in the experiment...... Speaking of this, the teacher is so old, you find an opportunity to persuade him, these things are left to us, you have not done very well over the years, to be honest I am a little strange, this epidemic just appeared, the teacher suddenly came out of the mountain, as if he had predicted in advance that there would be such a scene today. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Trov searched for a topic, not to discuss anything, but simply to make his brain think of something else.
"Hmm...... Within 100 meters, the breath of an infected person will carry the virus, are you sure?"
Looking at the contents of the recorder, Newcastle's face became more and more ugly.
"Data doesn't lie, Newcastle, where did you get that bottle of pus, this is very important, in case there are a lot of this kind of stuff in the Ouroboros organization, the next situation we face will be the most difficult epidemic prevention war since Thousand Sails City became a super city!"
At the mention of business, Trof's smile faded completely, replaced by a grim face.
"No, based on the information I've got, the Ouroboros won't have much of this in their hands......"
Deftly avoiding Troph's questions, the exchange of information with Hannibal Lecter was a key channel for Newcastle to obtain information about the Ouroboros, and he promised Dr. Lecter that he would not reveal the matter to anyone.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, the information is reliable, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
Newcastle asked the question just raised by Trov when he connected with Zhu Jue in the early hours of this morning, and the latter made it clear that this was something that was kept by the Ouroboros cadres, and it was speculated that the number would definitely not be too much, but the results of this second round of experiments still made Newcastle worried, and couldn't help asking,
"Troph, tell me the truth, how long will it take for the vaccine to be made?"
"I don't know, from the outbreak of the epidemic to the present, it has not been more than half a month, not to mention the mutation incident in the bottom community in the middle, the research institute has done its best to tackle the problem, for other epidemics, maybe the vaccine has been put into use, but this time is different, I can only say that it will be done as soon as possible at all costs. ”
With the modern level of science and technology, ordinary viruses have long been thoroughly analyzed, and the production of vaccines has begun step by step, but this virus obviously has its own particularities, and even Trov is difficult to guarantee anything.
"I know, continue to work your side, I have to report this situation to the government immediately, and let them immediately let Heaven monitor the densely populated areas of the entire Thousand Sails City, and the security department must also be on standby at any time, go first, and when this matter passes, I invite you to have a drink, and you can choose the place." ”
Tapping his old classmate on the shoulder twice, Newcastle picked up the recorder and got up to leave, it was not yet time to catch up.
Walking quickly to the outside of the research institute, the airship has been waiting at the door.
Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sky.
Under the dark sky.
Snowflakes are all over the sky.
