After leaving the hospital, Long Dezhang shook hands with the two and said goodbye. Today's Yangchuan seems to have become a dead city, with all kinds of shops with black lights, empty public transportation, and entertainment plazas as far as the eye can see, all telling the city's current downfall and former glory.

On the two-way six-lane main road, a small white van is driving alone, and the loudspeaker on the roof of the car is repeating the words of advice to people to return home as soon as possible. Suddenly, in the shade of the trees on the side, a black sedan rushed out, and there were two people sitting in the car, it was Wei Yilin and Bai Yunlian. The former was concentrating on the steering wheel, and the latter kept turning sideways, and his gaze fell on the inpatient building of Yangchuan Fourth Hospital, and he never left for a long time until the inpatient building completely disappeared from sight.

A fence slowly appeared on the skyline, a checkpoint, across the road out of the city, fifty meters from the checkpoint, standing a yellow sign: stop check. Behind the sign, there is a large labyrinth of iron horses, completely blocking the road, and on the two lanes on the right, a six-wheeled police armored car is proudly watching the small ants approaching in the distance, and in front of it are four blue and white cars with flashing red and blue police car lights.

Even if the documents of the General Bureau of Detectives were displayed, the two were interrogated for ten minutes before they were allowed to let go, it seems that the current situation is really not optimistic, and the eyes of those police officers are also full of anxiety.

"Eight years ago, I was just like them, standing at the train station. Dozens of people blocked the endless sea of people in front of them. After passing the checkpoint, Wei Yilin suddenly spoke, "At that time, no one knew the bottom of their hearts, for fear that they would really rush over." ”

"Do you have a gun on your back?" For the story of that year, Bai Yunlian had much deeper feelings than Wei Yilin.

"No, batons." Wei Yilin turned his head slightly and glanced at Bai Yunlian with the tail of his eyes, "It's just across an iron railing, and even the wind blows down." ”

"It's just a matter of people."

Wei Yilin nodded in agreement.

"I'll tell you something." Wei Yilin lowered the window, rested his left elbow on the door, and only controlled the steering wheel with his right hand, "According to our investigation, the live broadcast did have a certain deterrent effect, and many people woke up and automatically left the blood worship meeting." ”

"Isn't that good?" Hearing this, Bai Yunlian breathed a sigh of relief, and the hard work of many days seemed to be worth it.

"But let the pessimism spread, admitting that Huanzhou fell, and failed to save credibility as the boss wanted, but was scolded because he couldn't cover it up and had to make it public." Wei Yilin's words changed, and he pressed a big stone on Bai Yunlian's heart, "What's more serious is that someone has started to publicize that the government will use this method to punish all those who don't agree." According to the statistics of the National Police Department, the proportion of violent resistance to arrest has increased by 200 percent compared with before the live broadcast. ”

"I don't believe the higher-ups would have anticipated this."

"I don't believe it either." Wei Yilin shrugged his shoulders, pressed the emergency lights, sounded the siren, and lit up the red and blue police car lights.

"By the way, what are they doing these days?"

"Labor." Wei Yilin smiled, changed lanes, and drove past the checkpoint from the leftmost lane that had just been cleared, and when the car passed by the traffic police officer who was alone at the checkpoint, Wei Yilin turned slightly sideways and saluted the traffic police, "You're late." ”

"It's the first time I've been in a police car." Bai Yunlian glanced at Wei Yilin.

"What do you say? Tianwu: Are they doing coolies? ”

Tianwu said that Mr. Jia bought a lot of oil, noodles, rice, and salt, and pulled them to the base truck after truck. No, manpower is scarce. ”

"I suddenly felt that it was good to go on this mission." Bai Yunlian showed an unkind smile on her face.

"Is there any news from your mentor?"

"Alas, I'm still bothered with things that can't be dissected, so I can only study blood." Bai Yunlian shook her head, revealing a helpless expression.

"Who is your mentor?"

"Professor Zheng Bihuang."

"I've heard of it." Wei Yilin frowned, "It's said that he is a workaholic, and he still fights like a young man in his seventies." ”

"No, just now Ah Yu told me that the old professor hasn't closed his eyes for two days, and he has been staying in front of the microscope to compare various known viruses. She also asked me to persuade him to take a break. ”

"Didn't Professor Gao say that this is a new virus?"

"The mentor said that since many experiments cannot be carried out now, then it is right again, in case it succeeds." Bai Yunlian shrugged her shoulders as she said, "He is admirably stubborn. ”

"I heard from Mr. Tianjia that Director Xu suspected that this was a biochemical attack from another country. People from the Eryan Investigation Office are investigating. ”

"It's hard to say, there are at least 320,000 viruses in the world that can infect mammals, most of which we have never heard of. If a country really discovers such a deadly virus and develops it in advance, it can really catch the opponent by surprise. ”

"But if it's a biochemical attack, we're going to have to die to apologize." Wei Yilin sighed, revealing a trace of sadness, "Such a big thing happened, and we didn't even have any warning. ”

"Didn't the National Police and Military Intelligence give early warning either?"

Wei Yilin shook his head: "No, I heard Mr. Jia say that because of this, the three directors were all criticized." ”

"I hope it won't be pursued at this time." Bai Yunlian also followed Wei Yilin's example just now, and propped her right elbow on the car door, "Having said that, no one should dare to act like this kind of blatant provocation of international law, right?" ”

"It's unlikely that the state will do it, but it can't be ruled out that some evil organizations will do this."

"You mean Kanza?" In Bai Yunlian's mind, Kanza's fierce face came uninvited, and she trembled with fright.

"Anything is possible." Wei Yilin raised his hand and scratched his head, "Secretary Liu just asked me what time I could arrive so that I could arrange a meeting time." ”

"Huh? Is it true that you don't give any time off? ”

Wei Yilin sighed: "There are not enough people. Originally, I wanted to taste saliva chicken with you in Ren'an, but now that it's okay, I can only eat white flour steamed buns. ”

"Hahahahaha." Bai Yunlian smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, "I should have eaten a big meal in Yangchuan first." ”

"The restaurants and restaurants in Yangchuan are closed, where are you going to eat?" Wei Yilin looked at her with disdain.

"There's takeout. The dishes are all placed at the door of the restaurant one by one. Bai Yunlian was not to be outdone, and followed Wei Yilin's example to salute him.

"You didn't say it sooner." Wei Yilin's expression was even more disdainful, "It's almost Suiyang now." ”

"Hmph." Bai Yunlian shook her head again, turned her face away, "Sleep." ”

"You want to suffocate me? That's five hours away! ”

"I'll ignore you when I wake up." Bai Yunlian looked proud, and made a grimace at the end.

Tonight's sky, full of stars, bright moonlight hanging high in the sky, soft light in the uneven puddles, and then through the reflection to provide the only light for the passing cars. After three hours of walking through the ruggedness, a building that was out of step with the surrounding environment finally appeared in Wei Yilin's eyes, this was the main building of the base.

"It's almost there."

Bai Yunlian covered her mouth tightly and yawned: "It's almost nine o'clock." ”

"Well, are you going to your mentor?"

"Yes." Bai Yunlian put on a loveless look, and patted the box in her arms with her right hand, "Ah Yu said, this thing, the mentor is looking forward to the neck has grown by two inches." ”

"It seems that your 'mission' has failed before it has even begun."

"yes." Bai Yunlian deliberately dragged the tone long, "We don't want to sleep tonight." ”

The living quarters of the personnel of the epidemic prevention department are located in Building No. 4, which is a reinforced concrete structure and is said to be built according to military standards. The ground floor is the living area, the basement floor is the office lounge, and the second basement floor is the research room, which is divided into five large compartments, three of which are assigned to the research team led by three professors, and the other two compartments are one for the conference room and the other for the storage room, which is filled with large and small bottles, cans, and boxes. The lower two floors are still being cleaned up.

The office of Zheng Mihuang's team is located in the second area on the right hand side of the entrance of the stairwell, about 80 square meters, which is full of various instruments, the innermost bookshelf is stuffed with materials, on the table next to the bookshelf, there is an electron microscope, and on the chair behind the desk, Professor Zheng is holding a magnifying glass to carefully examine the giant book on his lap.

"Professor Zheng." Bai Yunlian screamed softly, and at the same time knocked on the door that was not closed.

But Zheng Bihuang was so involved that he didn't hear it. Bai Yunlian hammered the thin iron door again: "Professor Zheng? ”

"Oh, Lianlian, are you back?" Zheng Mihuang raised his head and waved his hand to signal Bai Yunlian to come in, and at the same time put down the magnifying glass that was almost glued to his hand, "The blood sample was brought back?" ”

"Well, there's a registration form for all kinds of tests that can be done."

"Good work." Zheng Lao's tightly knit brows unexpectedly relaxed, "As soon as the basement below is completed, we can start experimenting." ”

"Hmm. Professor Zheng, where did the others go? ”

"Dinner." Zheng Lao raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, "If you haven't eaten, go quickly." After eating, take the time to rest and report again tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay." Without waiting for Bai Yunlian to respond, Zheng Mihuang raised his magnifying glass again, carefully comparing the picture in the Big Mac and the virus printed on an A4 piece of paper after being enlarged.

"Professor Zheng." Bai Yunlian hesitated a little, and her voice was slurred, "You ......"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Mihuang raised his head and looked at Bai Yunlian for a moment, and suddenly, a smile that saw through everything appeared on his wrinkled face, this smile was warm and kind, "Oh, you must have come to persuade me to sleep." ”

"Uh...... How do you ...... Aware? ”

"Those wild children persuaded me one by one, and they sent you."

Bai Yunlian's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple, like a child who had been exposed to a lie, and said embarrassedly: "Aren't you worried about you?" ”

"I'm seventy-four." Zheng Bihuang pinched his fingers: "Back then, I just graduated, and I fought against malaria. Eight years ago, I had another fight with the flu. This is the third one, the ancients said: Three battles must die. Now is the time to repay the country with death, and there is nothing to regret. But you young people, you should take care of your body, and in the future, you will have to take over the class of our old guys. ”
