Three hours later, when the four vehicles returned to Life Science City again, the entrances and exits of the city had already been erected.

A steel gate stands in the middle of the road, and several black security guards are standing on the side of the road wearing protective suits and armed with firearms.

"Oh Fake...... I said guys, are you guys going to play Resident Evil? ”

As several cars stopped at the checkpoint, one of the security guards stepped forward and said to the man in the jeep, "That's too exaggerated, isn't it?" ”

It's a pity that the colleagues in the jeep didn't pay attention to him.

"We did go to an epidemic area."

Herbert stepped out of the car to resolve the embarrassment, he took out a document and handed it to the other party, while glancing back at the ambulance he was in.

It was only then that he understood why the other party would say such a thing.

I saw that the white ambulance was covered with dense bloody handprints, and just by seeing these handprints, Herbert could feel how desperate the villagers should have been.

"Hey......"

Sighing secretly, the security guard also checked the documents at this time, and returned them to Herbert after confirming that they were correct, "The car can't enter, you must go in, but someone inside will pick you up." ”

"Okay."

Herbert nodded, and then everyone got out of the car together, pushed the isolation cabin into the negative pressure tent and began to disinfect.

These people will only be allowed to enter the Life Science City after they have been thoroughly disinfected.

A complicated process followed, until two or three hours passed, and the four infected people were finally admitted to the research center.

Their blood samples were sent to a Level 4 biosafety laboratory, which had never been officially operational since its inception.

The fourth-level biosafety laboratory, the so-called international BSL-4 laboratory, is a laboratory dedicated to the study of the world's most dangerous viruses, and this level of laboratory is extremely rare in the entire Earth Federation, and there are only sixty-eight of them on record.

Chen Chen's one is the only private BSL-4 laboratory in the world.

At this time, several top microbiologists such as Bernhard and Evans were summoned here, these people wore closed isolation gowns, and the entire experiment was completed on a negative pressure clean bench.

"The blood slurry of the infected has been completed, but what about the human kidney cell culture dish?"

"Here."

"Okay, I've dripped slurry, let's see what kind of virus it is."

In the BSL-4 lab, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and Bernhard asked his assistants to test blood samples, while he and Evans and others did a different kind of processing.

Half an hour later, as everyone put the human kidney cell culture dish into the electron microscope for observation, the true face of the virus was finally revealed on the display.

But at this sight, many people can't help but gasp.

I saw that on the screen, human kidney cells were completely destroyed under the attack of this virus, the cell membrane was broken, the organelles were not shaped, and on the broken cell remains, there were countless thread-like things densely covered with them......

"Sure enough, it's a filovirus."

Seeing this scene, Evans sighed in a low voice, "It is almost certain that so far, there have only been two filoviruses found in the Earth Federation, and both of them are pathogens with the highest biosafety level. ”

"The specific result still depends on the assistant's side."

Bernhard waved his hand and turned to the busy crowd on the other side, "Joseph, what are the results of the serological tests over there?" ”

"The test results are in."

An assistant quickly walked over and handed the experiment report to Bernhard's hand, "Professor, the virus in this outbreak has cross-antibody reaction with Zaire virus, and the antibody antigen reaction is positive. ”

"Impossible!"

Hearing this, Evanston on the side said, "This is by no means a Zaire type!" ”

"If it's Zaire Ebola, it's easier to do."

Bernhard was also stunned, and then showed a contemplative look, "Although the fatality rate of the Zaire Ebola virus has reached 90%, the only way to transmit the contagious virus is bodily fluids, which can be easily blocked. ”

"So this virus is definitely not Zaire, but a new subspecies virus that is very similar to Zaire Ebola."

Evans nodded, "It's the same as the Reston Ebola." ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed a sudden look.

After all, among the known Ebola virus species, each subspecies has different infectivity and symptoms, of which the fatality rate of Zaire type is 90%, and the fatality rate of Sudan type is 50%, both of which are transmitted through body fluids and are not very contagious.

The most contagious is a subspecies called the Reston type.

It's an airborne Ebola virus that's almost identical to the Zaire virus, but thankfully, it only kills monkeys and doesn't cause any disease to humans.

It's just that when the Reston type was first discovered, many people were worried about what would happen if one day the Reston type of Ebola mutated and began to have an effect on humans?

No one dared to imagine that at that time, a catastrophe would befall them.

And now, it seems like it's really happening......

"Professor, we have done a whole glycoprotein gene sequence analysis of the isolated virus, and found that 98.9% of the nucleoxitic acid of this virus is the same as that of the Reston virus."

Another assistant also walked over and handed over an experiment report.

"Very well, since this is almost certain, this is indeed a variant of the Reston type of Ebola virus."

Looking at the report in his hand, Bernhard's expression became more serious, "In other words, this is an Ebola virus that can be transmitted through the air." ”

"You go ahead and crack his genetic map, and I'll send the first report to the boss first."

"By the way, let's brainstorm and name the virus so we can report it to the WHO, because we are the first to discover this new virus, and we have the right to name it." ”

When everyone heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and they all showed hesitation.

"Or should it be called the Namibian Ebola virus?" An assistant said.

"It's not good, it's clear that we were the first to discover a new virus, so why let Namibia be bare-washed?" Another assistant retorted.

"Or call it Bernhard Evans?" A third assistant made an observation.

"How can this be, let's call it Chen Chen-type Ebola......" Evans hurriedly waved his hand.

"Okay, what's so humble about this, let's name it after our company."

Bernhard on the side clapped his hands and said, "Black light virus, this name is very good, I believe the boss will also be satisfied." ”

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

In this way, the name of the new virus was officially named.
