Chapter 90: The Plague Breaks

Soon the emergency center in Jinling City was overcrowded.

And those who were still in the city were terrified. They know it's a plague, just like the Black Death that ravaged Europe in history, the Spanish flu, and the SARS epidemic that swept the world, and then Ebola, and so on.

I don't know when, I'll be infected. They want to escape from here, but the city of Jinling has been quarantined. It is not that they are deliberately treated differently, but that isolating the source of infection is the usual means of preventing and controlling infectious diseases.

The sudden outbreak of the plague disrupted the original plan.

The European mission is gone.

The three Falcon brothers, who planned to go to Shazhou City to visit relatives when they were not busy and had no tasks, could not leave.

Not only are they unable to leave, but they also have a new mission to help deal with this plague event.

The core of the response to the plague is, of course, the medical team that has been temporarily stationed and the professors of the medical academy who are looking for the pathogen. The main thing the Falcon Survey Team can do is be responsible for investigating the origin of the plague. In layman's terms, who caused this disaster. This is a dangerous use that means being in close proximity to infected people and, if unsuspected, to infected people who are not yet ill.

The Falcon Survey Team risked their lives to investigate the first person to become ill. His daily life before his illness, the people he came into contact with in recent times. Nothing unusual was found. Moreover, the people he came into contact with, including some who were in close contact, did not fall ill.

Isn't that right, isn't the pathogen contagious this time? But how could someone be hospitalized with one illness after another?

They also called up the information of other infected people, and found that these people had no intimate contact with each other, and some of the people they came into contact with were mostly not sick, or even had some signs before the onset of the disease.

What can be expected at first is different, starting with these infected people and not finding the source of infection, and even they come to the conclusion that these people are not contagious.

Is it really a coincidence that so many people are getting sick one after another? Although the facts are in front of us, this is not logical. Convinced that seeing is not necessarily believing, the Falcon Investigation Team once again analyzed the infected people to find out what they had in common.

In terms of age and gender, no abnormalities were found, and the infected people were both men, women, and children.

From the analysis of the place of residence, there are no new discoveries, and the residence of these people is not concentrated, indicating that this is not a collective poisoning incident.

When the Falcon investigation team analyzed the diet and daily life of the infected people in the 24 hours before infection, they finally made a discovery. These people had drunk the same mineral water in the 24 hours, and at least 48 hours, before the onset of the disease. The so-called disease comes from the mouth, is there a problem with this water?

However, this mineral water is very common and can be found in almost every supermarket in every city.

With the attitude of giving it a try, the falcon investigation team took the mineral water and some other food that these people had drunk to a professional institution for testing.

After receiving the sample, the testing center rotated 24 hours a day and did an urgent testing experiment, and sure enough, several viruses and bacteria that could be obtained were found in these waters, and the specific diseases were not clear. When they fed the water to the experimental mice, the mice reacted violently, similar to those of an infected person.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the Falcon investigation team did not dare to delay, but immediately reported the test results.

The National Emergency Response Committee received the information and immediately interviewed the mineral water manufacturer involved. A decades-old brand, it is also one of the state-designated drinking water providers in the committee.

In the face of the sudden accusations, the mineral water producer did not panic. Because they know in their hearts that the products they produce are strictly tested at the factory. Strict control is carried out from the source of the water, and there will never be such incidents. In other words, it is very likely that the mineral water drunk by the infected person this time is a counterfeit.

The supplier argued with his arguments and insisted that there was no problem with his product. Experts in food testing were also specially invited to conduct field visits. Experts, of course, found no anomalies. In fact, the producer was indeed wronged.

After the falcon investigation team found out the cause of these people's illness, they immediately followed these mineral waters, found dealers, and then followed the vines and found the source of these problems. A factory that produces small workshops pours mountain spring water into empty mineral water bottles and puts the hot-selling mineral water brand on the market to make huge profits.

In fact, this small workshop has long discovered that this mineral water has a promising theme. Just before the first case of infection appeared, there were a series of bizarre deaths among their workers, and the superstitious boss thought that God was punishing him, and specially invited a wild monk to do it.

When there were infected people one after another in Jinling City, the word of the plague spread. The black-hearted boss realized that something was wrong, so he immediately closed the factory and laid off the employees.

When the Falcon Investigation Team found this place, it was already empty. Although they pounced, it was not without gain. Because Damin and Brother Long found an account book, which was the purchase, sale and inventory of products made by the factory managers.

In the face of this thick appearance record, the three Falcon brothers are one head and two older. These problems have long been sold all over the country, and even across the ocean to the other side of the ocean.

The Falcon Investigation Team, who was frightened by the truth, immediately reported the terrible news. In order to avoid causing panic, the authorities decided to urgently recall and destroy the water in question without making it public.

But it was too late, and infected people appeared one after another across the country. This time, the incident really expanded, and it became a global disaster.

Although the contagiousness of the plague this time was relatively low, it was not impossible, and since no effective treatment had been found, the hospital was immediately full, and a bed was hard to find.

The first infected people began to die one after another. Panic has spread further.

On the side of the investigation team, after many inquiries, they finally found the person in charge of the factory that caused the accident. Seeing the investigator coming to the door, the little boss was trembling and didn't dare to speak.

From the small boss's intermittent descriptions, the Falcon investigation team found out that the little boss really didn't know anything. He wanted to sell some fakes and make some money, but he didn't expect to make such a big move.

Looking at the black-hearted boss who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, Brother Long kicked him angrily.

The black-hearted boss was in pain, begging for mercy again and again, saying something like "a good man spares his life", and he said that he was willing to take the investigation team to the water source to see, hoping to make up for it.

It's impossible to make amends, but the Falcon Survey team thinks they should go to the water source. So, they didn't rush to settle the score, and let him lead the way and set off for the water source.
