Volume 1: The Eve of Doom Chapter 21 There is no room for optimism

At dinner, everyone's faces were painted with sadness, and today they can be said to have gained a lot - three large boxes of materials were neatly stacked in the middle of the crowd, and a small plastic bag was placed on the box, and in the transparent small plastic bag, several oval silver medals loomed.

Seeing that everyone was just holding compressed biscuits, Zhong Wenfeng simply broke the silence that lasted for more than half an hour, pointed to the plastic bag and said: "The leader of the Military Intelligence Bureau is called Feng Xiangxi, this is his epaulettes." As he spoke, two pieces of cloth sewn with Velcro were thrown onto the plastic bag.

"Where did you find them?" Wei Yilin simply put down the biscuits, grabbed the plastic bag, looked at the silver medals inside piece by piece, and finally, he grabbed the two collar badges, each embroidered with a silver lion - colonel.

"Sanyuan Street." Zhong Wenfeng covered his nose with his hands, and said with his hands and feet, "The corpses stink." Three people were next to each other in the corner, one of them carrying the box. ”

"How did you die?"

"Someone killed him."

As soon as Wei Yilin heard this, as if he had been electrocuted, his body trembled, and he raised his head suddenly, and the rest of the people also stopped what they were doing, and their glowing eyes were like high-wattage spotlights, which made Zhong Wenfeng sweat.

"There are wounds all over the body, and there are knives and axes."

"Pick the lock." As soon as Wei Yilin gave the order, Qiao Wu took out his military dagger and smashed it hard against the lock of the box. After a while, the lock of the box was smashed open, and the contents were similar to those in Bai Yunlian's box, except that the test tubes in this box were all empty, only the box was not empty - three silver medals, lying quietly inside, showing the date of November 6.

"Ming'er will send them all back." Wei Yilin put several military medals together and placed them on top of the "empty" box, "Attach this box." ”

"Thrown? Don't take them home? Zhong Wenfeng's reaction was even fierce.

"How do you explain to someone? What if they suspect that we killed someone? Qin Tianwu scolded.

"You're ...... again"

"Mingjun, what did you find?" Wei Yilin didn't give Zhong Wenfeng the slightest chance to finish his words, and just one sentence took the topic away.

"A whole bunch of statistical tables. From October 17 to October 22, there were more than 6,000 cases at this hospital alone. Qin Tianwu blurted out.

"It's too much...... It's too much......" Wang Mingjun repeated solemnly.

"We suspect that the infected also have a pre-mortem instinct." Qin Tianwu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said before Wei Yilin sent the response out, "There is a riot policeman, he is infected, but he can still fight, and we both almost can't beat him." ”

"Who said they were dead?" Bai Yunlian, who had been rubbing her left knee, suddenly said, and everyone immediately turned their eyes on her - right! The "experts" are here.

How did Bai Yunlian not mean to continue, nor did she notice the expectant expressions of everyone, and continued to rub her knees. The look on everyone's faces also changed to "disdain": I thought that you would have a high opinion when you opened your mouth.

"We've collected some blood samples from infected people, are they called specimens?" Wei Yilin tilted his head, glanced at Bai Yunlian, and saw that she didn't react, so he had to continue, "They were all admitted to the hospital in mid-October." From the bite to the onset of the disease, most of the time it took four days, with one exception. ”

"How do you make an exception?" Wang Mingjun is like a studious child, his body has taken a big step forward, if it weren't for the two boxes blocking him, he would definitely stick to the tip of Wei Yilin's nose!

"The time from infection to onset of illness was particularly short, only five hours."

"So fast?"

"yes, it seems that yesterday it was said that the shortest time was nine hours."

"This is because some people's bodies are particularly well-suited to the virus to thrive. Right, Yunlian? Zhong Wenfeng stroked his chin and said with the beard that had just grown.

How do you know, Bai Yunlian didn't listen to him at all, because at this time, Bai Yunlian's mind was full of: six thousand cases, five hours, the shortest, nine hours, suitable. These words are like crystal clear pearls, scattered on the ground, waiting for a thread to scurry them together to form a jeweled necklace.

I'm pretending to be cold again! Zhong Wenfeng, who had not received a response for a long time, scolded secretly in his heart.

"Poison King!" Bai Yunlian blurted out.

"What?" The rest of the people said in unison, "What poison...... The Poison King? ”

"Yes, for every virus, there will be a small number of people who are particularly suitable for the growth and spread of the virus due to physical reasons. In research, the 'basic transmission number R' is often used to indicate the transmissibility potential of an infectious disease. As it stands, the virus spreads by biting each other. Hmmm......"

Bai Yunlian frowned and thought for a while: "Since the onset time ranges from a few hours to four days, during this process, the patient may be anywhere, so the length of time and where the onset occurs are not the most noteworthy. ”

Others were stunned: "So what's the most noteworthy?" ”

"How many people can a patient bite before they are subdued. If it can't be bitten by anyone, the virus won't be able to spread. ”

"Then how many people can he bite, and what does it have to do with it?" Wang Mingjun asked impatiently, and his body was tilted in the direction of Bai Yunlian.

Bai Yunlian glanced at herself, and then at the burly Qin Tianwu: "If the patient is as thin as me, it is estimated that no one will be able to bite him, after all, no one will let a madman pounce on him." But if it's as burly as Brother Tianwu......"

"Then it bites a dozen or so, and dozens of estimates are not a problem, and these people will mutate one after another in about four days. So...... By the way, didn't you say that some patients still have fighting memories? That is, these people, it will be more difficult to subdue. ”

Qin Tianwu was immediately roasted by everyone's burning gaze and couldn't be cooked, only to see him "shrink into a ball" and complain: "Why are you comparing me!! ”

"What?" At the same time as Qin Tianwu spoke, Wang Mingjun bounced up, "So exaggerated? ”

"But these people are also harder to be bitten, huh?" Wei Yilin held his cheeks and said, "After all, at that time, there were still very few infected people. ”

Bai Yunlian didn't rush to answer, only to see that she opened the box that Qin Tianwu and the others brought back, and checked the data in the paper one by one. But the more she looked, the tighter her brows locked, and the other people's expressions became nervous, and for a moment, the room was silent.

"The first suspected case in this hospital was in early October?" Bai Yunlian almost screamed.

"What?"

"They thought he was crazy, so they sent him to a mental hospital."

"Two months ago." Zhong Wenfeng shook his head, and his clenched fist slammed on the floor on the side, "If you had served a snack, it wouldn't have been like this." ”

Bai Yunlian took out the notebook she was carrying, wrote a paragraph "rustling", and then read it again: "The concentrated outbreak is from around October 18th to the end of October, captain, Huanzhou also lost contact with the outside world at this time, right?" ”

"Well, the last message was on November 1st."

"That's right, the police officers who turned this person away at that time may be the first super-spreaders. The patient will bite them like crazy, and they can't kill it, they can only control it, and in the process, it is very easy to be scratched. Bai Yunlian glanced at Wei Yilin, "This is just one hospital, but there are thirty or forty hospitals in Huanzhou, and not every patient will be sent to the hospital." ”

Zhong Wenfeng nodded: "If you say so, in order to subdue these sick police, the authorities need more stronger, more burly people, such as special police, national police, and field agents of the General Directorate of Investigations." ”

"These are the second batch of super-spreaders?" The short man Qiao Wu only felt a chill on his forehead.

Qin Tianwu, whose body had finally "cooled down", interjected: "Then in order to subdue them, they had to send more burly and strong people. ”

"That's right, they played the last card." Wei Yilin nodded vigorously and said what Mr. Jia had asked to keep secret, but since the others had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter little by little under the guidance of Bai Yunlian, the secrecy would also lose its meaning, "Hometown Defense Regiment, but it still failed." ”

Finally, it was Bai Yunlian's turn to "conclude the statement": "The first thing it broke down was the institution that maintained stability. And the main force of Wei'an has the strongest potential to spread the virus. ”

"Every ...... Everyone...... Both? Wang Mingjun's voice was full of horror and panic.

"Hmm. Everybody is. ”

Wang Mingjun hurriedly patted the boxes among the crowd, and his tone was full of panic: "Then, is there any cure here?" ”

Bai Yunlian raised her head, glanced at him meaningfully, and then shook her head gently.

"That'...... Is it possible to develop a vaccine? Wang Mingjun couldn't wait to ask again.

"I don't know, I should." Bai Yunlian replied honestly, at this point, she didn't dare to pack the ticket, "I hope the time is in time." ”

Wang Mingjun almost fell to the ground, and a drop of crystal was hung from the corner of his eye.

"One more thing. Just now, when Yun Lian and I were collecting information in the infectious disease area, someone attacked us. ”

"People?" The rest of the people were shocked by this, "Could it be the same guy the day before yesterday?" ”

Bai Yunlian took over the conversation, recounted the incident as it was, and finally added: "He seems to be looking for something. I photographed it. I just don't know if it has anything to do with that group of people the day before yesterday. ”

In Wei Yilin's heart, a different kind of joy flashed. The hearts of the others also settled down, and they all took pictures: I'm afraid that I won't be able to find out who you are?

"Does he want to develop a vaccine?" Wang Mingjun's eyes full of loss flashed with a hint of excitement.

"How is it possible to have a decent laboratory without a considerable medical foundation. Developing a vaccine is a dream. Zhong Wenfeng blurted out, "I think this person's purpose is not so simple. ”

"You're saying he had something else going on after trying to get a blood sample?" Qin Tianwu's eyes rolled, and several layers of thick dark clouds immediately surrounded his face, and he turned his head to Wei Yilin and said, "Old Wei, this is not a trivial matter, you have to report to the peak immediately." ”

Wei Yilin swept away the debris on the surface of the box, and then spread the map on the surface of the box: "We need to find a safe place, a certain distance from here, before we can call a helicopter." ”

Several people immediately set their eyes on the map, and analyzed the pros and cons of various possible locations in the vicinity.

"Old Wei, I think it's time for us to transfer too." Qin Tianwu suddenly interrupted everyone's analysis, held his chin and said, "The person you met is not simple, and he dares to roam the streets and hospitals full of crises without wearing any protection, and he can kill so many infected people by himself. ”

"yes, that's what I just meant." Zhong Wenfeng hurriedly said, "Those people from the Military Intelligence Bureau are just wearing regular clothes, and the departure date is much earlier than us, so I suspect that we are already in the first batch of I don't know how many, and Shangfeng will let us be wrapped so tightly because of experience." The man was dressed so revealingly, and he didn't look like he was eating with us. ”

"If he really works for other forces, then we will be in big trouble." Qin Tianwu directly said the sentence hidden in Wei Yilin's heart - the situation is really not optimistic.

"Find the location first, and I'll report the rest later."

"It's a good location." Qin Tianwu poked hard at a small square plot on the outskirts of Xiyi County, the name of this piece of land is 10,000 acres of roses, it is an ornamental park with roses as the theme, "It's late autumn now, and the flowering period of roses is from May to June, and there shouldn't be many people there now." ”

Wei Yilin took out a ruler and carefully measured the length of the side of the square, and then calculated, this park is almost 3.6 square kilometers, such a large piece of land, it is more than enough to stop a helicopter, and even if the noise of the helicopter attracts a large number of infected people, this muddy ground is enough for the infected people to leave. Wei Yilin put his finger on the open space again, and slowly and carefully walked along each thin straight line starting from the empty block, there are three major nineteen small twenty-one roads for entry and exit, and there is no problem with this part of the traffic.

"That's it." Wei Yilin finally nodded, "Everyone is tired, hurry up and rest." ”
