As early as the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, when science and medical technology were developed, mankind thought that most infectious diseases had been eliminated, but as everyone knows, bacteria and viruses are just dormant in a more insidious way, besieged by countless vaccines, antibiotics and medical methods, constantly evolving, waiting for the day when they will resurface.

In the Age of Calamity, the day has finally come.

After earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, plague, smallpox, and even variants of influenza viruses that have increased tenfold in intensity have appeared one after another, frantically erupting, and the invisible flood beasts are constantly harvesting fresh life and destroying the fragile order of human beings.

In the entire era of calamity, there have been three global super-plagues, each of which has infected hundreds of millions of people, and the vast majority of those infected have died within three to six months.

This is very much in line with the very cruel "Nine Laws of Certainty" in earthquake relief.

In a protracted natural disaster, the number of people who die directly from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storms and mudslides, does not exceed 10% of the total deaths.

The remaining 90% of the population often died from the plague after the disaster, famine and chaos caused by the collapse of social order, and other "indirect injuries".

The war against the plague is the most cruel and desperate war that mankind has faced in the Age of Calamity.

In this black war, an anti-epidemic force, known as the "Crow", came into being.

In the beginning, the Raven Force was just a makeshift emergency response team of soldiers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, and volunteers from all walks of life.

However, as the disaster continues and expands, aside from the three global epidemics, the moderate epidemic that affects a continent will break out every year, and the "small epidemic" that envelops a city has not subsided for a day.

The reason why they are called "crow troops" is because they habitually wear isolation suits coated with special nano-chemical defense materials, and the whole body is pitch black, not revealing half an inch of skin.

At the same time, the new high-efficiency air filter mask, with its long protruding scanner lens that can instantly detect abnormalities in the patient's body, and the scarlet reflection, make them look like the legendary ominous bird - the crow.

The situation of the crow troops, like the wind of the cursed bird of the crow, is very complicated.

Rationally, it is known that this anti-epidemic force is fighting on the front line of the fight against the plague, facing invisible demons such as deadly bacteria and mutated viruses, far more dangerous than the Red Helmets and ordinary military units, and the members of the Raven Force are well-deserved heroes who deserve flowers, hugs and glory.

However, emotionally speaking, every time the Raven Force appears, it is associated with a terrible plague, rotting corpses, and a lifeless city, coupled with their mysterious methods and impersonal rules, which makes it difficult for people to overcome psychological barriers and develop feelings of worship and closeness to them.

More importantly, the war between humans and bacteria and viruses is an eternal war of despair that can never be won.

The epidemic in this city has just been extinguished, and a new plague has broken out in the next city.

A specific drug against the virus has just been developed, but the virus has developed new mutations and become full of drug resistance.

This is like a race between humans and the never-tiring Grim Reaper, no matter how exhausted humans are, at most they will temporarily distance themselves from Death, but it won't be long before Death will eventually catch up with humans and put its cold scythe on the necks of humans.

The worst thing is that in the era of the collapse of the order in the Age of Calamity, the fragmented authorities did not actually have any means to control most of the plagues, and the only way to do so was to "isolate".

When a case is detected, a family is isolated.

When a plague breaks out in a city, isolate a city, not allow anyone to enter or leave, and then, wait for the human immune system and the ethereal fate to decide who is more qualified to live.

It is often the crow troops who carry out the isolation mission.

In this case, these "crows" wearing black isolation suits, bird-head masks, and scarlet scanning lenses become the embodiment of death in people's hearts.

"Healthy citizens" crying and trying to escape from the epidemic area and seek a way out, journalists who are extremely angry that the authorities are hiding the truth, ordinary people who do not know the truth but are full of simple compassion, frail old people, crying children, crazy women...... All of this is blocked by the black, cold walls of the Raven Army.

This is the scene that can be seen everywhere in the area where the epidemic has occurred.

In this case, it would be hellish if the Raven troops could still get a good evaluation.

"Lonely, cold, cruel, impersonal, like an emotionless machine, accompanied by bacteria and viruses, watching the outbreak of the epidemic but doing nothing, just silently waiting for death to harvest all life", this is probably the stereotype of the crow army in the minds of many ordinary people.

Yes, even Chu Ge couldn't help but gasp when he heard the name "Crow Troops".

He naturally knew that the outbreak of the epidemic had nothing to do with the crow troops, and the raging of bacteria and viruses could not be stopped by the crow troops, they were heroic troops who could endure humiliation and sacrifice more than the red helmets.

However, the creeps in the heart are not so easy to get rid of with rational thinking.

"This time, the crow troops sent to Lingshan City by the Supreme Council will be commanded by a lieutenant colonel named 'Wu Zhengting' who has just been promoted."

Guan Shan coughed dryly, hesitated for a long time, and then said softly, "Perhaps, I shouldn't speak ill of my colleagues behind my back, but this Lieutenant Colonel Wu is not easy to deal with, Chu Ge, don't think that you can convince him as easily as you can persuade me." ”

Chu Ge frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I haven't worked with Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting, you know, we weren't part of the same system in the first place."

Guan Shan said, "However, judging from the news I heard, he seems to be a very tough and decisive person, a typical iron-blooded soldier.

"Three years ago, a new type of plague suspected to be linked to an Ebola variant broke out in the rainforests of a coalition border, sweeping through three nearby towns and towns with a high mortality rate.

"The local area has just been incorporated into the Alliance's sphere of influence, and the Alliance's rule is still very weak, with many warlords, bandits, drug lords, and evil awakened forces such as the Celestial Organization active, and the alliance's medical team has no way to enter the local area through normal channels for isolation and treatment.

"To make matters worse, near these three infected towns is a large city with a population of millions, a large shelter formed by the influx of countless refugees.

"Once the infected people in the three epidemic outbreak towns run to this large city with a population of millions, the scale and intensity of the plague will instantly surge a hundredfold.

However, the warnings of the Coalition were ignored, and the medical team that forced their way in was hijacked by warlords, drug lords, gangsters, and evil awakened people.

"A large city with millions of people is about to be destroyed by the Ebola variant, and millions of people are going to die.

"It was this Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting who took the opportunity to evade his indecisive superiors and mobilize an air force to carry out saturation incendiary attacks around the three infected towns, creating a special 'isolation' with raging flames, and ultimately saving millions of lives."

When Guan Shanzhong said this, he suddenly stopped talking, just looked at Chu Ge.

Chu Ge pondered for a while, and said, "Wait, when Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting dropped the incendiary bomb, were all the residents of the three infected towns dead?" ”

"No one knows about this problem."

"Anyway, according to the analysis of virologists after the incident, the fatality rate of the variant Ebola virus is almost 100%, and no one can escape from this hell on earth, regardless of whether Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting drops an incendiary bomb or not." ”

Chu Ge said: "But at that moment, it is very likely that there is still someone alive?" ”

Guan Shan said heavily: "Maybe, but Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting did not directly drop incendiary bombs on the three towns, but only blocked their way out." ”

Chu Ge said: "What is the difference between using incendiary bombs to 'stack' a burning wall of fire outside the three towns and burning it directly? ”

Guan Shan said: "This question, after the fact, countless people raised it to Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting, and some people directly reprimanded him as a murderer, including the people who were saved by him in that big city with a population of millions - strange to say, it is about a certain sense of guilt, the people in this city, criticize him the most, he also has a bad career for this reason, obviously born and died and made countless contributions, and he is still a small lieutenant colonel, this time, he was sent to Lingshan City to perform such a tricky task, it seems to be a little." It means 'broken can'. ”

Chu Ge sighed.

Listening to Guan Shanzhong say this, this Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting is indeed difficult to deal with.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Guan Shanzhong's eyes reflected a rather strange light, "Should Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting drop the incendiary bomb, when the incendiary bomb was dropped, no one was still alive in those three towns, these are things that can never be said."

"But one more thing, for sure."

Chu Ge said: "What's the matter? ”

Guan Shan said: "Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhengting's life experience - he is an orphan, and both parents died of the super plague that swept the world decades ago. ”
