Chapter 34: Genetic Weapons

Now, with the military base under Antarctica the only hope, Wiener sat at his desk and opened a drawer with a yellowed group photo from the seventies and eighties, the only photo of Wiener and his father, Brian, who died in a car accident in 1982, and Wiener, who was only 28 years old, took over the family business. Brian and Wiener father and son have a common view of the world, Wiener Pharmaceutical was formerly a weapons company, but after Wiener took over, Wiener opened a new department, developing medicine and technology at the same time. By the 90s, Wiener's pharmaceutical turnover had accounted for 40 percent of arms sales, and in the 21st century, Wiener found that the global climate was changing dramatically, and he realized that medicine could bring greater profits. Sure enough, at the beginning of the 21 st century, because of the drastic decline in the quality of environmental protection, the types of diseases increased rapidly, and more and more people got sick, and the profits of pharmaceuticals far exceeded the profits of weapons exports.

The Antarctic military base, which began construction in 2004 and was not completed until 2015, can accommodate 100,000 people.

After thinking about it, Wiener rolled up his sleeve to reveal a watch, Wiener turned a few buttons, and a holographic projection appeared.

It was a little boy with yellow hair, "Master, are you going to use genetic weapons now?" ”

"Now we have to use this method."

"So, do we need to put our employees in refrigeration?"

"An order was issued to put all high-level and weapons department personnel in cold storage."

On the third day after passing the second round of interviews, Rick received an invitation to the third round of interviews, and Rick took a taxi to the notified location alone.

This is a luxurious villa complex, which is inhabited by some officials and nobles. There were soldiers in military uniforms outside, and after Rick explained his intentions, several people verified Rick's identity, and after confirming that it was correct, the soldier told Rick to keep moving forward, and after reaching the end, he kept to the left. After Rick entered, he found that it was like a village in the city, a significant feature was the abundance of green vegetation, and the ecological aspect was very good, Rick saw that many yards were parked with millions or even tens of millions of dollars of supercars, and some villas had civilian helicopters parked on the roofs.

When he arrived at the place where the soldier said, there were also a few soldiers outside, and after some tossing, Rick finally came inside, where there were four large centrifuges, simulating a weightless environment in space.

Rick saw dozens of people coming, five at a time, much like a playground ride.

A few people vomited directly after only a few minutes of entering, and then they couldn't go in. After about an hour, the second group entered, and Rick entered with two women and two men.

Inside is five seats, from the outside it looks like the centrifuge is small, but when you get inside, it feels big, five people sit side by side, there is a lot of space, and it is not very cramped.

The moment the hatch was closed, the centrifuge went dark for a moment, and then a lighting system was activated, and the centrifuge became surrounded by a projection of space.

The centrifuge began to work, and Rick instantly felt like he was being lifted up, as if he were far from the ground, as if he had been loaded into a ball and projected into space. Rick's heart jerked, and then the sky was spinning, and the stars around him became confusing, Rick felt that his eyes were full of small stars, and he fainted while spinning, and after an hour, the centrifuge gradually stopped, and Rick suddenly felt gravity, and was directly caught from the dream, as if Ben was spinning in space and was suddenly covered by a spider web ejected from the earth and quickly pulled back to the ground.

After going down, an officer smiled all over his face, "Congratulations, you are five of the twelve winners today," you can go, we have a fourth round of interviews, please go back and wait." We announced that there were only three rounds of interviews, but there were still more than 1,800 of the 500 Space Force spots pre-selected by XWY, so we decided to do it again.

After going out, Rick felt that he was favored by Lady Luck, there was a button on each seat on the centrifuge, as long as he couldn't hold on, he only needed to press it once, and the centrifuge could be stopped.

At the same time, on the African coastline, because of the destruction of space bases, countries began to withdraw their troops under the pressure of public opinion. As a result, the genetic virus spread, called PNX2, is a highly contagious virus that spreads without warning, and the virus spreads to all the troops along the coastline through the Coalition forces in just a few hours.

After the armies of various countries returned home, the virus began to leak out, because the role of the army is getting bigger and bigger, so these soldiers who have been infected with the virus but are completely unaware of it spread in the city, and soon, 70% of the people in the city were infected. The virus can be transmitted through air, water and aerogel, and the virus presidizes in the host's body before showing signs of cough, pneumonia, anemia and vomiting, sweating, tumors, and hemophilia.

The next day, a sixty-year-old army colonel of country M died mysteriously, and the military doctor soon found out that he did not die suddenly or commit suicide, but that there was an unknown virus in his body, as soon as the news came out, the army top brass immediately fell into a panic, and the whole army began to conduct a major physical examination, and in one afternoon, it was found that 120,000 soldiers had been infected with this virus, and they were all navy returning from Africa, and the government immediately realized that this might be a biological and chemical weapons attack by WDE, and the infected soldiers were immediately sent to a concentration camp, Several large cities that the soldiers had come into contact with were quarantined, and a quarantine zone covering hundreds of miles was quickly established, but it was of little use, and soon the military doctor discovered that the virus could also live in animals. This made the army even more panicked, because if the virus parasitized on birds, it meant that the virus could spread to other areas through birds.

The city is full of armored vehicles and helicopters, and these heavy weapons are used against the birds! A large number of birds were wiped out, and in order to escape the escape of birds, some sensors were specially arranged on the line of the quarantine area, and if there were flying objects passing by, the alarm would be triggered in advance, and the soldiers outside the quarantine area would shoot the fleeing birds to death with anti-aircraft guns.

The fact that the living virus appears to have been developed for people in developed countries and that the virus spreads slowly in Asia and Africa is a confirmed biochemical attack rather than an accidental infectious disease.

On the fourth day of the discovery of the virus, the coalition government declared a global state of emergency, and the big study was forced to be terminated, and everyone was quarantined at home.

Rick and Roo and the two old men were also staying at home, and while they were idle, a phone rang. Rick saw that it was Sun Mengyuan, since X Beria hadn't contacted her for a long time, Rick glanced at Luo Ou and went back to his room to connect the phone.

As soon as Rick connected, he heard Sun Mengyuan's sobs. Rick hurriedly asked Sun Mengyuan what was going on.

"My dad got infected with the virus and died!" Sun Mengyuan cried and said.

Rick's heart suddenly pinched, if Sun Mengyuan's father was infected with the virus, then Sun Mengyuan would also be infected.

"How are you, are you infected?" Rick asked.

"I don't know, my dad just coughed at first, then had a slight seizure, last night was fine, I went over this morning and found him dead."
