Chapter 109: Black Water

The officer's resolute face, without a trace of waves, stated: "He already knows. ”

After speaking, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he looked at his classmates decisively and asked, "Is any of you hurt?" Or have you been bitten by a person or animal? ”

The students heard the officer's strange tone and cautiously said no.

The officer was obviously not at ease, and ordered several soldiers to check on their classmates one by one to make sure that no one was injured, so he sent two soldiers to escort the classmates to the barracks, and he himself led the small unit to the front and continued the mission.

Hurrying all the way, Nie Tian chatted with a few people without a stubble, and learned that the real name of the Humpty Sven boy is Tan Jie, and the real name of the blindfold woman is Song Zijin.

Song Zijin looked at Wen Weak, but his speed was not slow, and he followed steadily behind. On the contrary, Tan Jie couldn't keep up, sweating like rain in the back, panting like a cow.

When we arrived at the outskirts of Xijing City, it was already early in the morning, and the earth was covered with a layer of dreamy light light.

At this time, there was no early morning quiet, and the students, led by two soldiers, entered the heavily guarded temporary field barracks.

The entire barracks were filled with tension.

Wu Li and Nie Tian were led to the command post by a soldier, and the rest of the classmates followed the soldiers on duty in the battalion to a tent to rest temporarily.

The command post is composed of 16 individual on-board camping tents, which are horizontally combined and connected, and expanded vertically to form a large tent that can meet the needs of the division's basic command post.

The soldier asked Nie Tian and Wu Li to wait outside the command post, go in to report, and after a short time to come out, please let the two enter.

A meeting was being held in the command post, Nie Tian and Wu Li were arranged to sit in the back row of everyone, and it was Ning Fei who presided over the meeting, and the epaulettes were two bars and three stars, which had been replaced by two bars and four stars.

In just a few days, Ning Fei had been promoted to the rank of colonel, the rank of full division.

At this time, an expert from the "Expert Advisory Committee" is doing a brief study of the current situation, the virus, the infected person, and the environment.

A few days ago, an unknown virus suddenly appeared in a village along the Heishui River in the western suburbs of Xijing City, and many people were hospitalized with the virus, and they were misdiagnosed as influenza viruses because the symptoms were the same as the flu.

The day before yesterday, the unknown virus, after a few days of transmission and incubation period, a large-scale outbreak, after the death of the infected person, turned into a mobile corpse, frantically tortured the people in the villages along the Heishui River, causing the area to be devastated and corpses everywhere, and most families were not spared.

Therefore, the unknown virus was named "Blackwater".

"Blackwater" has spread rapidly throughout the city, and it is now suspected that the first patients infected with the virus were exposed to a band host near their place of residence, but after testing nearby animals and insects, nothing has been found, and the band host is still unknown.

According to animal experiments and scientific research such as the clinical manifestations of patients and the anatomy of deceased patients, it is found that the incubation period of infected people is 1-3 days, and there will be high fever, headache, sore throat, weakness and muscle and joint pain, followed by vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

After the onset of the disease, the virus spills out, resulting in internal and external bleeding, blood clotting, and necrotic blood quickly spread to various organs throughout the body, and the patient eventually develops symptoms such as bleeding from the mouth, nose and anus, and dies within 3 hours.

The mortality rate is as high as 100% in the currently confirmed cases of the virus.

After the death of the patient, the higher nerve centers of the brain are transformed into nerve centers distributed in various organs, and the energy of activity is initially inferred to be produced by the breakdown of ATP in the muscles.

The mechanism of the digestive system of the corpse is not yet understood, but it can still be consumed by eating meat to obtain energy, resulting in the corpse's unconscious and continuous activity, and the unknown cause causes its hearing and smell to be sensitive, and its vision is deteriorated.

Transformed corpses are unusually sensitive to the smell of living people, and exhibit extreme aggression and predatory.

Because the nerve center is scattered, shooting a certain part cannot incapacitate it, even if it hits the head, it only damages its perception ability, but does not affect its mobility.

The virus is transmitted through the air in the early stage, and the probability of infection is determined by the strength of the human body and the level of immunity.

Surprisingly, after a large-scale outbreak, the airborne transmission of the virus suddenly disappeared, and now it is transmitted through direct contact with blood, saliva, excrement, and vomit on broken human skin.

In addition, the "Black River" virus has extremely high heat resistance, and it takes 60 minutes to kill it at 100 degrees Celsius.

According to the study of virus sampling in different periods, it is found that the mutation rate of the "black water" virus is very fast, and the early linear virions have mutated into "U" type, "8" type, winding type, ring type, branched type, etc.

Virions are generally about 80 nanometers in diameter and can reach 1400 nanometers in length, while "black water" virions are only 40 nanometers in diameter and nearly 700 nanometers in average length.

Researchers are currently working on a test vaccine against Blackwater, and the timing of the success of the study is unpredictable.

Due to the rush of time, the above research is not comprehensive and in-depth, and is only for reference now.

After the experts finished speaking, Colonel Ning went on to say that the nature, degree of harm, and scope of the "Heihe" epidemic have exceeded the "National Emergency Plan for Public Health Emergencies" (level 1), and the epidemic is now tentatively classified as super major (level S).

Moreover, the particularity of the epidemic has posed a huge threat to social stability, politics, and even the survival of mankind.

This epidemic is not only a public health emergency, but also a biochemical crisis, but also a war between humans and viruses, and the outcome determines the fate of mankind.

The General Headquarters for Emergency Response is composed of relevant departments of the State Council and the military, with the competent leader of the State Council serving as the commander-in-chief, responsible for the unified leadership and command of the emergency response to the biochemical disaster, and making major decisions on handling the emergency.

The composition of the working group of the General Headquarters of the State Council for Emergency Response is based on the needs of the work of the emergency incident, and the General Headquarters of the State Council for Emergency Response has decided to set up eight working groups.

They are the front-line combat group, the mass life group, the isolation and monitoring group, the health and epidemic prevention group, the propaganda group, the production recovery group, the infrastructure support and post-disaster reconstruction group, and the social security group.

Each working group, the lead unit of work responsibilities and the member units shall have one copy of the notification document for each person, and read it by themselves.

The Xijing Municipal Government also warned the masses to stay at home and take preventive measures through various channels at the first time of the outbreak of the epidemic.

At present, the city is divided into severely infected areas, mild infection areas, and areas to be infected, with Xicheng District as the severely infected area, and the preliminary estimate of the number of infected people has exceeded 2,000, the southern and northern urban districts are mildly infected areas, and the Dongcheng District is the area to be infected.

On the basis of the city-wide isolation, each of the above four urban districts has implemented independent isolation.

According to the situation in different urban areas, organize and coordinate the armed police, police, medical and other relevant departments in the city, and use air-raid shelters, towers, prisons and other easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack sites to establish a number of emergency shelters.

Suspicious patients with the same symptoms can be isolated in a temporary observation room for observation, and those who have not become ill for more than three days may be transferred to a safe isolation area.

Once confirmed, patients should be promptly administered with the strictest measures of viral clearance.
