Chapter 279: Eruption
"Larry, there are so many transport planes coming from Dongying today."
Lieutenant Larry, commander of the Guam Airport Garrison Company, stopped at a sentry post and counted the C-5 transport planes that landed one after another at the airport.
Hearing the exclamation of his friend Jack beside him, he replied directly: "This is the 3rd Expeditionary Force stationed in Dongying, with more than 17,000 people, only a small batch came over yesterday, and today is the big one." ”
Jacko asked curiously, "Why don't these guys just withdraw to the country?" ”
"Don't understand, do you? Without Dongying, we are here to face the front line of the Tang Kingdom, and we will all withdraw to the country, so we can't hold here. ”
"Alas, how can this Dongying archipelago sink on land? It can't be the imagination of those scientists, right? ”
"Who knows, the country of Dongying is very strange...... Hey, what's wrong with those people? ”
As Larry spoke, his eyes still fixed on the landing transport planes, many of which had stopped at the tarmac, the hatches opened, and groups of Marines began to descend.
However, he saw two of the transport planes, where there seemed to be people falling to the ground, and others were bending over and coughing.
More people began to scatter in terror.
Larry was about to run over to see what was going on, when he suddenly found himself being hugged by his friend.
"Jaco, what are you doing?"
"Larry, don't go, we'd better stay away. Someone must have been infected with the virus, you forgot, there is a super virus circulating in Dongying! ”
Larry instantly remembered that it had spread all over the world in the past two days, and he had talked to people about it, but it was said that it had been sealed in Tokyo.
How could the officers and soldiers of the United States stationed in Dongying be infected now?
No, it's already in Guam!
Just as he was thinking, the alarm at the airport went off.
The soldier on duty at the sentry post shouted at Larry, "Sir, the major's phone." ”
Larry hurriedly ran into the sentry post and picked up the phone to answer it.
"Larry, immediately gather the whole company, go to the warehouse to get the chemical protection suit, and then completely block the airport, you can't let these guys from the 3rd Expeditionary Force run around."
"Understood, I'll go."
The alarm sounded for a long time at the entire Mi Army Guam base, and soon many officers and men of the base put on chemical protective clothing and blocked the entrance and exit of the base.
He shouted an order over a loudspeaker, demanding that all the officers and men who disembarked from the transport plane stay in place and wait for the military doctor to test them.
However, the situation deteriorated dramatically, and more and more of the officers and men who had just stepped off the plane at the airport fell to their deaths.
This caused a huge panic among the living, who did not want to stay at the airport and stay with the corpses of the virus, and some of them gathered to run to other parts of the base.
This caused a conflict with the base garrison, and I don't know whose gun went off, and the scene suddenly burst into gunfire.
The officers and men of the 3rd Army, who were withdrawn from Dongying, were also fully armed, so naturally they would not sit idly by, and a fire broke out suddenly.
With the strength of the base garrison, in the face of a large number of officers and soldiers of the 3rd at the airfield, they were quickly defeated.
The officers and men of the 3rd immediately rushed out of the base.
No one noticed that several C-5 transport planes re-entered the runway and then lifted off.
……
……
Six hours later, the Ministry of Defense of the United States.
With a "bang", Curtis slapped his palm on the table.
"It's just nonsense, why didn't you conduct medical observation at the Dongying base in advance and make sure there was no problem before boarding the plane?
178 people died in the fire, which is really a great shame in the history of the rice army!
Locker is ready to go court-martialed! ”
"General Locker has also contracted the virus and is currently in emergency care," the adjutant said. ”
"Uh......" Curtiston froze.
"What is the current situation in Guam? How could Locker also get the virus? ”
The adjutant continued: "Major General Skanton, the commander of the Guam base, explained in a telegram that General Locker should have been infected in Dongying and became ill when the plane was about to land.
Fortunately, Major General Skanton announced the distribution of chemical protective clothing to everyone in time, and only then was he able to appease the 3rd officers and men at the airport.
However, many people still ran out of the base and fled to other parts of the island, causing panic among the islanders.
Major General Skanton has announced that Guam is now closed to all access roads.
However, it is said that several transport planes were refueled and lifted off at that time.
According to satellite positioning, the transport planes flew south to the Darwin base in Australia, where airport personnel reported that a total of 823 people had disembarked on the plane.
Forty-eight of these people have left the base and entered the city. ”
"Damn it!" The more Curtis listened, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but curse, thought about it and ordered: "Immediately send an order to the Australian Command, and be sure to arrest these 48 deserters!" ”
"Yes."
"Inform a few generals and call an emergency meeting immediately!"
"Yes."
……
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all know the situation, it is obvious that the virus has spread faster than we imagined, and our troops in Dongying have not been spared.
Now it is necessary to suspend the withdrawal of troops from the garrison as soon as possible, first conduct isolation and observation on the spot, ensure that there are no problems, and then arrange for transport planes to evacuate. ”
After Curtis briefed on the situation, he directly expressed his views.
Van Diatt frowned and asked, "General Curtis, if our garrison is all infected, then the situation in Dongying is probably even more serious.
There are a lot of expatriates there, but are there any of them who carry the virus? Or what about people who have the disease?
In addition, we also allow refugees from Dongying to be accepted, but after these people enter the country directly, have they dispersed to various places? ”
"Exactly how this super virus spreads, I asked Colonel Fleet, a virus expert, to explain."
As he spoke, Curtis turned to a bespectacled colonel officer beside him and said, "Colonel Fleet, come and talk about it." ”
Colonel Fleet nodded slightly, and then said, "This virus is modified by the Dongying people based on a previous epidemic pneumonia virus, and it is already a biochemical weapons-grade virus.
It is characterized by being extremely contagious, with almost no incubation period, and once it occurs, it can die in about 10 hours at most.
Its route of transmission is mainly airborne, but other routes of transmission are equally effective.
The Toei people have developed a vaccine, but they have not yet conducted clinical trials, but they have already vaccinated the Self-Defense Forces directly.
I suspect that some of these vaccines are ineffective or ineffective, and it is precisely these officers and soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces who have been infected because the vaccine is not effective enough to fight the virus, but it has a certain effect, and instead they have created an incubation period after infection and prolonged the onset of the disease.
It is very likely that the infection of our troops stationed in Dongying was caused by these officers and soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces.
In other words, the virus may have mutated, and there was no incubation period, but now there is an incubation period. ”
General Harris asked, "Do we have a cure?" Didn't there be a special drug for the super virus at the beginning? Can it be cured? ”
"Yes." Foley heads his head.
"Great." A smile suddenly appeared on Harris's face.
Fleet looked at Harris apologetically, and continued: "However, the medication must be started at the first time of onset, otherwise it will be too late, after all, it will only take 10 hours to completely destroy the patient's body, and some people even have less time." ”
The smile on Harris's face froze.
Curtis said: "I have arranged for this special drug to be sent to the bases in Dongying, South Korea, Guam, and Darwin, Australia, and all the people under observation will take the medicine as soon as they find symptoms." ”
Van Diatt asked, "Colonel Fleet, what do you mean, at least there should be no such virus among the people who entered our country from Dongying before.
But there may be an incubation period among those who were later invited, and these people did not get sick when they entered our country, and it is very likely that the virus has now spread into our country.
So how do we deal with it now? ”
"Only if all medical units are ready to treat these people and find and isolate them as soon as possible, otherwise the epidemic will definitely break out," Fleet said. ”
"I've informed the president that he's going to work with the CDC on a precautionary system, and we're only going to talk about what's going on inside the military," Curtis said. ”
"I suggest that the whole army enter the state of first-class anti-chemical warfare operations!" General Harris proposed.
