From the end of 546 to the beginning of 547 in the Apocalypse calendar, during the New Year's Eve period, the plague suddenly broke out in the Moonfall Basin.

The place of origin of the virus is Yufu Castle.

The first signs of the virus plague were noticed in the channels of domestic sewage in the urban areas of the city's outskirts.

December 29, 546 to January 5, 547.

People in the lower city can often see clumps of "black gas" entangled with each other in the sewer mouths. If you look closely, this is a mosquito, and the mosquitoes and mosquitoes are biting each other, killing each other like raising Gu. This kind of slaughter often results in the birth of some wasp-sized individuals, which build nests in the gutters and between houses.

Due to the strong cold wind in winter, not many people were bitten outdoors in sweaters, and the insects in the gutter could not move for a long time in the cold environment outside, so it did not attract widespread attention from all walks of life.

However, by this time, thousands of people in various areas of the lower city had become seriously ill due to poisonous insect bites.

In the midst of a slight panic among the people, dichlorvos and pesticides in Downtown sold well. And for children, toys like fireworks and firecrackers have a new kind of fun. The children sprayed the swarm with Chinese New Year fireworks.

……

But the biochemical catastrophe soon became more serious, and new alienated species appeared in the city's garbage cans and green belts. And some of the birds in the city are howling more and more.

Early January 547.

In the process of throwing garbage into the garbage can, people often jump out of some small lizard-like insect creatures, which often jump out to hurt people, and even evolved a latent creature in just ten days.

When birds and stray dogs approach the garbage can, something like a snake's head pops out of the blue. Bite it and swallow it into the trash, and when large objects such as humans and cars pass by, the latent creatures will not react, and they will curl up in the hole due to the violent vibration.

Therefore, at this time, there are no reported casualties among the people, and the risk of death of a small number of patients is considered to be an ordinary case.

……

January 6, 547.

Prompted by repeated biochemical leaks from unofficial environmental groups, the bureaucracy of Yufu City has finally begun to acquiesce to the presence of some dangerous species in the city.

However, the Taishou of Yufu Castle firmly denied that there was a serious biochemical disaster in the city.

The official spokesman of Taishou made an expert statement: it is believed that this is the recent development of the Northern Industries Organization in the Moonfall Mountains, which has led to the destruction of the ecological chain in the Moonfall Mountains, and the monsoon effect in the north has brought these small creatures to the cities.

Such expert rhetoric has shifted the attention of environmental groups in the city to the outside, and of course to the discontent within the city.

The city's major newspapers began to curse the Yankees in the Weishui area for destroying the environment, leading to insecurity in the city.

The media shifted the subject in this way, relieving the pressure on the bureaucrats in the city.

But the problem has not been solved: the security department, the city management department, and the fire department in Yufu City are blaming each other on how to solve such problems. The only unanimous opinion is to prepare for a lawsuit to seek compensation from the group that develops the mountains in the north.

[On the contrary, the social and business group of the northern development of the Moonfall Mountain Range, after hearing the accusations, hurriedly started a large-scale physical examination and self-examination, and carried out strict epidemic prevention]

……

Bureaucratic procrastination is a problem in any social system, and the only difference is that the bureaucratic system is better under a more strictly regulated system.

But in terms of efficiency, the feudal bureaucracy < the capitalist bureaucracy < the technocracy of the social and business group.

This is because the feudal bureaucracy is only afraid of the feudal lords, the capitalist bureaucracy is afraid of the group that controls the capital, and the bureaucracy of the social and business group is now worried about mass incidents.

Recently, the social business group has shirked the blame for a small number of people, but it is extremely concerned about some mass incidents, because once the matter is serious, there is an internal responsibility system.

In Yufu City, however, despite the outbreak of the disease in the lower city, the bureaucracy has very cleverly linked it to the winter weather.

The effects of the virus leak continue to be carried out quietly.

……

On January 8, in Yufu City, a tragedy occurred. A stroller was parked on the edge of the green belt, and as the baby cried, a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the green belt and snatched the baby away. Amid the screams of passers-by, the child's mother, twenty meters away, collapsed on the spot.

While the local security department was still discussing, that afternoon, angry people doused the entire green belt with gasoline, and the flames directly burned the entire ground. Then, with an iron fork in hand, he thrust the lizard, which was full of 20 kilograms and had a long tongue, from two fist-sized cracks in the green belt.

The death of this creature obviously could not quell the anger of the irritable people, and under the inertia of the media in the past few days, they began to pour into the mall and burn the goods of the northern social business group.

But the blind anger and lack of official power made things worse, and although the burning destroyed the breeding places of these small creatures, the urban crowds gathered at these sites and dispersed after gathering, which in turn provided powerful conditions for the spread of the disease.

On January 9th, when the black smoke of the incineration cleared.

A large number of people began to cough, various spots began to appear all over the body, people began to wake up from blind rage, panic spread through the city, but by this time it was too late.

On January 12, when a massive epidemic began, medical departments were overcrowded and people could not be treated, despair began, and chaos began.

For Yufu City, the cause of the epidemic is no longer important, and now this situation is definitely a biochemical leak, but the experts in the city have begun to guide public opinion.

Now the citizens of the city, well-liked families with conditions began to try to flee the city. And the poor who did not have the conditions began to buy goods in large quantities and even loot commodity stores.

In the alleys of the city, people in cloaks and clothes ran with large bags and small bags, and garbage and shredded paper flew on the ground, and everyone was in a hurry.

……

On January 15th, the upper echelons of Yufu Castle held an emergency meeting. Over the city, helicopters flew through the smoky sky and landed on top of the city's tallest building. Police cars around the area honked their horns, struggling to maintain law and order.

The mayor's speech was played on a huge electronic screen in the City Tower.

In the mayor's speech, he gilded the government meeting, claiming that it would immediately solve the city's food crisis, water and electricity crisis, law and order crisis, and control of infectious diseases. The eloquent speech soothed people's hearts.

However on the top floor of the municipal building

At the mahogany table, the Taishou on the first seat had a gloomy expression, and told the truth to the representatives of the major consortia who came to the meeting: The current situation in Yufu City is out of control, and you have already made plans.

After the meeting, outside the sun-lit steps of the building, members of the city's various conglomerates walked out and were interviewed by the media.

In the face of these city media, they all said without blushing and heartbeat that the crisis is under control, please keep quiet.

But a few hours later, the leaders of the major consortia in Yufu City immediately summoned the executives in their own groups. First, it was announced that the company would send their families to safety, and then their salaries were raised to make them move quickly and move the company's property.

……

The capital group is managed under the shady background of information from top to bottom.

When the top is faced with an intractable crisis, the top begins to open up its information circle to people one level below the pyramid and ask them to assist.

The financial plutocracy on the planet has such an operation: there is a subprime mortgage crisis, and the government takes money to the financial consortiums on Wall Street to tide them over, and the first thing the Wall Street consortiums do is to raise the salaries of their executives!

This makes the lower level very incomprehensible, what the people above do, the people below suffer, why are they still rewarding the top management?

Hehe, that's not a reward, but the "en" part of the operation when strengthening internal rule.

……

The consortia in the city are in action

Private armed forces entered the city in armoured vehicles to fight those who carried out looting and began distributing food and medicine to the population. Their actions have given hope to the inhabitants of the city.

All of a sudden, there was order in the city, and people began to line up to receive supplies, began to give medicine to their sick family members with hope, and began to cooperate with the government to isolate the seriously ill.

But, on the other hand, they are frantically evacuating assets within the city.

The production machines in the factories, as well as the documents and the entire family members of the important technicians, were transported out of the city. As for the so-called complete solution to the crisis, that is just the slogan of politicians now, used to draw a big pie.

The top management of the consortium in Yufu City did not think about solving the crisis in the first place, and the medicines they distributed to the residents were powerful analgesics in addition to super-powerful antibiotics.

This illusion of the population at large will soon be punctured by the harsh reality.

Isolation room area.

Some of these patients have monster-like tongues, sharpened teeth and nails, rickety spines, or rabies-like bites and delirium.

One night, inside the high walls, the epidemic spiraled out of control, with heart-wrenching howls and bites raging in the area, and the gunmen on the walls were mercilessly suppressed, a scene that was not recorded in the media.

The catastrophe began to gradually develop in the direction of catastrophe.

……

On January 20th, the once prosperous city of Yufu has become a pot.

A military armored vehicle is advancing towards the center of the city. The streets were forcibly cleared, and the cars blocking the streets were forcibly pushed to both sides by bulldozers. The government has also forcibly blocked the transportation system, and civilian vehicles are not allowed to move in the streets, so that the government's large trucks can quickly transport 'relief supplies' (in fact, the transfer of city property). ）

If you look closely at the broken carcasses piled up on the side of the road, some arthropods such as scorpions and centipedes move in and out of these metal wastes, using them as nests. These carapace shells, fangs are bright red, and the huge size of the viral creatures have frequently appeared in all corners of the city, and the city is like a Gu city.

Of course, in this city, the most threatening to the convoy are the mentally broken and hysterical residents.

On this military vehicle, soldiers in medium-sized armor are staring around with guns. The drone hovering on the roof of the car scans every black hole window on the streets on both sides.

Along the way, the military vehicles were frequently hit with incendiary bombs as they passed through some buildings. And observed a large number of monsters, as well as terrible mutations of humans.

In this case, the military and local consortia are not in the same interest camp.

The military knew that the local consortium was transferring property, but the local consortium's resolute political obstruction prevented the military from entering the epidemic area, so it had to send a joint investigation team to enter in the name of military research.

……

Elaborating on the current conflict of interests between the chaebol and the military:

When a biochemical leak occurs in a city, according to the law of Qianchuan, the military should immediately intervene to take charge of the military. However, once the military control was carried out, the assets of the chaebol could not be evacuated, and the Taishou of Yufu City and the chaebol were on the same interest front, so it was repeatedly emphasized that the epidemic was now under control.

And now that the situation has deteriorated to such an extent, these local chaebol forces are still vying for power with the local military.

The plutocracy is now focusing on bribing the city's landlords to obstruct external investigations.

When the military's investigative team intervened, they were shocked to find public opinion in the city: "The nearby military conducted biochemical experiments, which caused the city to suffer." ”

So after the convoy entered, there were already a number of seriously ill and desperate people, tied to explosives, and launched a lone wolf charge against the convoy.

The local snakes in the city watched from the sidelines, and when they saw the convoy shooting, they were more powerful to incite the people. Behind the scenes, they injected the purple needles given to them by the chaebol, which contained potions of doom and cell growth. This saved them from the disease for a while.

……

However, the well-dressed high-level leaders of the local chaebols, who used the information shady curtain to hide the facts from the general public, are now also deceiving these local snakes.

The ground snakes in the plagued area are not aware at all, and the virus in their bodies cannot be cured at once with repellent agents and cell regeneration agents.

Molecular clusters in the form of grape bunches have been inserted into their cell genes. Their genes are now extremely unstable, and two extremely expensive potions can only keep them stable temporarily.

If you want to completely eliminate those high-energy viruses, you need to grind them slowly in the culture chamber to inactivate these high-energy viruses in the body's natural metabolism. And the amount of doom repellents and cell regeneration agents consumed in this process is extremely large, and the price is sky-high.

The chaebols will not supply so many potions to these local snakes, now they just need to draw a big pie and let these tools work hard.
