Chapter 268: The Final Goal (03)

How is it possible for everyone to be infected? This is obviously abnormal, and after some investigation and verification, it was finally found that these people were infected with a strange virus, which is a virus that has never been seen before, and all the captured people were not spared, but their physical states are different, so the onset time is also first, and the pre-examination chief did not find the existence of this virus, indicating that the virus has been hidden in their bodies for a long time.

Although the military doctor immediately called in an infectious disease expert to test after the incident, it was still impossible to determine which type of virus it belonged to, but experts estimated that it was likely to be a new type of virus that could be transmitted through the air, and the specific symptoms had not yet appeared, so it was impossible to predict what the final consequences would be.

The cause of the infection is unknown, but almost all of the infected captives remember that they had not received any suspicious injections, but were simply kept in separate places.

In order to avoid the possible spread of the virus, everyone was isolated and treated, but since the virus has never been seen before, it is likely to cause large-scale infection, so all the people who have been in contact with these people have been quarantined and observed in all directions to prevent infection, and I did not expect such a big incident to occur at once.

"It must be Carol's ghost, this bastard dares to use a biological weapon." The ghost said.

Heavy punch They were also quite shocked after hearing the news, no one expected such a thing to happen, it seems that Carol did not simply exchange hostages with them, but also manipulated these people, I don't know if this group of people can survive this, it is just a matter of being captured, who would have thought that after returning alive, they would face such trouble.

"We always thought he wouldn't give up easily, so we did everything we could to prepare, but we didn't expect him to do that." The worm also thinks Carol is too cunning.

"From infectious disease experts to deal with this matter so far has not figured out the source of the virus, so whether they can save these people is still unknown, and it is not possible to determine whether it will be contagious, if there is really a risk in this regard, then he is really a bit big, after all, there are a lot of people who have been in contact with them, if this is a very threatening and deadly virus, then I am afraid that everyone they have been in contact with will have to be screened to confirm whether they are infected." The mention of this by Heavy Punch starts to have a headache.

"03 Have you been in contact with them?" The worm immediately thought of 03's safety, and it was impossible for 03 not to see those who were rescued.

"He has been tested and is not infected, but he is still under observation." "It's not clear how long the incubation period of the virus will be, and all the people who have been in contact with these people have been quarantined and can only move freely once the danger has been ruled out." ”

"The griffon has been in contact with Natasha, is he also quarantined?" The ghost asked.

"Yes, he is not immune, if there is a real infection, we may also have to be quarantined and checked, and indirect contact may also spread the virus." Heavy punch said.

"They're worried about causing a mass contagion! If there is a large-scale contagion, it will certainly be catastrophic. Worm said.

"There must be concerns about that." "This is a virus that has never appeared before, and if the news leaks out, it will definitely cause a massive panic, so they have learned the lessons of the previous period, and this time they are studying it in great secrecy." ”

"It's really troublesome to encounter this kind of thing, and now it seems that even if you get them back, it will only temporarily save their lives, as for whether they can survive, I'm afraid it depends on the will of God!" The ghost sighed.

"Carol ......" clenched his fist with a heavy fist, "this madman ......"

"How could he have such a thing? Could it be that he is engaged in the development of biological and chemical weapons? Worm asked incomprehensibly.

"Have you forgotten that poison gas lab under the hamster? At that time, the people in it mentioned that they not only produced poison gas, but also researched biological weapons and genetic weapons, and it seems that this is not only the hamster's syndicate, but also the 'Clock Tower' may have similar institutions in other places, they not only sell conventional weapons, but also engage in nuclear materials, precious metal biological and chemical weapons...... These things are basically not something that an organization can do, and it seems that their strength is indeed immeasurable! The ghost said.

The external investigation was also affected and had to be temporarily suspended, and all these infected people were isolated and treated, but all the treatment was almost useless, at most it was to control the expansion of the infection, and it was impossible to really cure at least the current situation, so in the process it was almost like watching their condition deteriorate slowly, but there was nothing that could be done.

It didn't take long for 03 to contact them again tiredly, "Although this incident did not cause a bad impact, and it also made people panic, all those who have been in contact with these people have been quarantined before being infected, and now there are at least 13 people here who are unable to work normally, how is the situation over there?" ”

"There is no progress in the investigation, no one has been found to have similar symptoms, the griffin is undergoing a new round of testing, the results will not come out until tomorrow, the ghost has been replaced with all the men who have been quarantined, and it has been confirmed that all the captives have been infected." Heavy punch said.

"You have a lot of prisoners over there, you have to be careful, so far, there is no drug that can compete with this virus, it can be said that there is nothing to do about this virus at the moment, there is almost no cure." Worm said to 03 rather worriedly.

"I will note that experts from the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention have been mobilized to conduct in-depth research on the virus, and virus samples have been successfully extracted, and I believe that a vaccine will be developed soon." 03 said.

"It's not going to be too fast, it's a brand new virus, and it's certainly not going to be conquered that quickly." "If there is a large-scale contagion before this, it will be an uncontrollable disaster. ”

"The professionals have made the worst estimates and arranged accordingly, and hopefully nothing worse will happen." 03 said, "Fortunately, these people received treatment en masse after they came back, and it did not cause a larger spread, but there are quite a lot of people who have been in contact with them during this time, and it will take a long time just to control these people for screening." ”

Carroll's possession of lethal biological weapons has indeed caused a huge internal panic, although this is limited to high-level and some countries directly related, but everyone knows what this means, if the 'Clock Tower' really desperately starts to spread the virus, it may cause a worldwide disaster, so some high-level leaders even began to discuss the policy of the 'Clock Tower', they do not think about how to avoid the outbreak of the virus, do not think about how to make a virus vaccine, but blindly want not to provoke anger' Bell Tower', just want to calm things down, which makes many people, including military doctors, quite annoyed, but helplessly, these people are all high-level political leaders, although they are not considered to be in power, they also have enough influence on the upper echelons, so these people can indeed play a considerable role in saying a word, and it is not something that grassroots workers like them can influence, however, the decision-making level is quite shrewd, not as idiotic as these people, and can fully realize it' The existence of the Clock Tower is a great threat, so after an emergency meeting, the upper echelons have issued an order for a full investigation of the Clock Tower, and have demanded that the organization be eliminated at all costs to ensure that it can no longer pose a threat.

"It seems that their upper echelons are not idiots either." After receiving the news, the worm said.

"At least a few are still awake, but what else can they do but give orders? Who wouldn't want to take out the 'Clock Tower'? But if there was a way, we wouldn't have dragged it out until today, these people in power are really ......" The ghost shook his head.

"Otherwise? Wouldn't it be up to them to do it themselves? They are where they are today because their subordinates are competent enough, no matter how they give orders, it has nothing to do with us, at most they can command the military doctors, as for us to work for ourselves, we are not carrying out their orders, but completing our own tasks. Heavy punch said.

Three days after the first infected person was found and effective precautions were taken, someone died from the virus, and a day later an indirect infected person was found, and a nurse in charge of nursing care was found to be infected with the virus......

The incubation period is 3 to 5 days, and the onset of illness is to death for 6 to 8 days, this cycle is too short, for a time all the people who came into contact with this group of captives began to panic, although some have been discharged from the possibility of being infected, but the vast majority are in isolation and observation, 03 and military doctors, they are also invited back to do the investigation again, this is not a trivial matter, once a large-scale outbreak, it will be almost catastrophic consequences, it is not an exaggeration to say, with the speed of onset of this virus, if there is a large-scale outbreak, kill a medium-sized country, It's a month or two at most.

"Don't the experts have a way to deal with it?" Upon hearing this, the ghost asked.

"At present, it can only be controlled by existing means, but whether it can achieve the goal, is still unknown, although it is not possible to accurately infer the incubation period and incidence of the virus from the infection of individual people, but it is obvious that there is no way to see this disease now." Heavy Punch sighed and said, "This matter is quite troublesome. ”

"What about us? Is the current investigation going on? "Bugs felt like they couldn't stop what they were doing because of the news.

"The order from above is to tell us to do a new round of infection screening." Heavy punch said.

"We haven't been in contact with the captives...... "The ghost said speechlessly.

"03 has been contacted, we have been in contact with 03, he is likely to be a carrier of the virus, in this case, we have to be more careful, there is no better way to deal with this virus now, we can only start with prevention and try to avoid being infected, so 03 asked us to re-examine and further rule out the possibility of being infected." Chong Punch also said helplessly, "There is no way, all infectious disease experts are helpless, and they can only control it through these means." ”

"This incident has caused a lot of panic, and it is estimated that not many people can work wholeheartedly, right?" Worm asked.

"At present, at least hundreds of people have been quarantined, after all, after they were rescued, they only had a simple examination, there was no sign of illness at that time, and there were indeed not a few people who came into contact with them, and now these people have all been dug up for isolation, and even the hospital where they are located has been fully isolated, and the families of patients who have been in and out of the hospital during this time period have been recovered, and the necessary screening ......has been carried out," Chong Punch said, "Now I can only do as much work as possible to reduce the possibility of the spread of the virus." ”

"It's a big trouble now, I thought I could transfer all my energy to the investigation of the 'Clock Tower', but who would have thought that such a big thing would happen." Worm said.

An hour later, they went to the location arranged for them by the military doctor for further examination and testing, and when they arrived, they found that the hospital had isolated a separate area for them, and opened a green channel, and the entire road from entering the parking lot to the inspection area was closed, and all those who came into contact with them were wearing chemical protective suits.

"Isn't this a bit big?" The ghost looked at these people and thought it was funny.

"It only shows that they have a deeper understanding of the virus and understand its harmfulness, so they have taken all necessary measures to ensure that the virus does not give any chance to spread infection." Heavy punch said.

The three men were asked to change all their clothes and then taken into an isolation cell, where their clothes were all taken and destroyed, including all their belongings.

"Could it be that they're going to melt that gun?" The Ghost found these guys interesting, as they carried a lot of things with them, including communication equipment and melee weapons, as well as a few other belongings.

"Is it necessary to do this? Those things are just sterilized, so why destroy them all? "Worm also thinks these people have gone too far.

"At present, all anti-virus methods cannot deal with this virus, and it can only ......be killed by a high temperature of more than 100 degrees for two hours," Heavy Punch muttered a little in his heart as he watched these people's actions.

"If they really check out something, will they directly take any extreme measures......" The ghost also looked furious.

"You're thinking too much, we're just indirect contacts." Worm said as he looked at the staff in fully enclosed protective equipment who came in from the outside.

"It always feels like they're treating us like experiments." The ghost looked at the men.

"Where you come, you are safe." The heavy punch lay on the bed as those people said.

So, they went through one of the most detailed examinations of their lives, where blood tests for blood and urine were the most basic, and they even shaved their hair and disinfected all parts of their bodies in all directions, making them feel like pigs about to be slaughtered.

The whole process lasted a full five hours, and it was not over until they had become completely impatient.

Later, they were placed in an isolation cell for further observation.

"Is this necessary? We haven't been in contact with those people, and besides, we still have jobs, so what's the point with you keeping us here? The ghost said protestingly.

"You're going to be here for at least 72 hours, and if you don't show any symptoms, you're going to leave." A man who was wearing full body protection and couldn't even see his face clearly said to them, "That's what the above means, we just do what we do, please cooperate with our work." ”

"Three days, you say, three days? Why should I listen to you? "The ghost has a very unpleasant attitude towards this guy.

"This is the order from above; Later someone will be connected to you through these devices and you. The man said, pointing to the big screen on the wall.

Soon, there were only three of them left in the room, and for a while they didn't know what to do, so they could only lie in bed in a daze.

After about half an hour, 03 contacted them remotely, and after a look, they realized that 03 was in a room with a similar status to them.

"When I see your state, my heart is balanced." Worm said jokingly.

"There is a new twist on things, two more people have died from the infection, and five more infected people have been infected, all of whom have had direct contact with the first infected people." 03 said, "Now the whole is aimed at' 80 members of the investigation team of the bell tower have been quarantined, the entire organization is almost completely paralyzed, and it is impossible to carry out the next step of the work, it is still unknown when it will resume normal operations, but it is certain that the work will not continue during the quarantine period, this process will last at least 3 to 5 days, or even longer, and some people will be ruled out of infection one after another, but this work is not done by a few people, their upper echelons are taking emergency measures to remedy it, as for the result is not yet known. ”

No one expected that things had developed to such a bad point, and the three of them couldn't help but be shocked after hearing this, and they immediately asked about Natasha's situation.

"The onset of her infection is late, but it has already entered the middle stage, according to the current rate of development, at most a week, if there is no effective treatment within a week, then he is afraid that he will ......" 03 did not say any more, but everyone understood what he meant.

"What about you?" Worm asked worriedly.

"I haven't noticed anything wrong yet, but as one of the first close encounters I'll probably have to observe for at least a week before the virus can be released after the currently established incubation period, during which time we can do almost nothing, but you don't have to worry too much, it shouldn't be anything." 03 This seemed to be comforting them, and it seemed to be comforting himself.

"Now that we've got samples of the virus, we should be able to produce a vaccine, right?" The ghost asked.

03 shook his head, "How can it be so simple, even if the pathology is figured out now, I am afraid it will take at least 1 to 2 weeks to produce the vaccine at the earliest, plus the test, I am afraid it will take at least a month, and by that time it is estimated that the first batch of people will have died, not to mention that most of the vaccines are mainly prevention, and they are ineffective for those who have been informed......"
