Chapter 73: Interim Outcomes and Responses
Three hours had passed since I got the specimen from Lu Tian, and it was almost 12 o'clock, and it was time for lunch, when everyone in a room in Kyoto felt that the atmosphere was so oppressive that the air seemed to freeze.
"Old chief, the data of the virus has come out, and it will indeed make people become zombies after being infected!"
A middle-aged man in a white lab coat and glasses with high myopia is reporting to Chief One. It took them more than two hours since they got the specimen, and combined with several cases of necrosis in other areas, they had already come to some conclusions.
The wrinkles on the old chief's face deepened, what Mr. Lu said was right, this virus can really turn people into zombies, he looked at the white coat with hope, "When will a vaccine be developed?" ”
The white coat showed a trace of shame, but still replied: "The structure of this virus is too complex, and it is constantly mutating, there is no way to make a vaccine in a short period of time, and according to data, the virus will be fully activated after the 300th generation, no longer latent, and the speed of infection will increase a little with each breeding generation in the future, until it can be infected instantly!" Time is limited, we simply don't have time! ”
A chief next to him couldn't listen to it anymore and roared angrily: "Bastard, so many of you can't solve the problem, what do you want!"
As the people of the highest authority in China, everything they think about is based on the overall situation, if there is no vaccine to control the virus, how many people will become zombies?
Hundreds of millions or even billions of people may be infected as zombies, and at that time, thousands of years of civilization in China may be cut off, can he not be excited?
The rest of the leaders were also very dissatisfied with them, after all, there were so many people who didn't know when they could develop a vaccine.
At this time, suddenly a guard walked in and whispered a few words in the old chief's ear.
The old chief coughed lightly, and the rest of the people kept their mouths shut.
"Country M said that they had also discovered this virus, and they named this virus L virus, and they had preliminarily developed a vaccine, and asked us if we wanted it!"
"L-virus? Isn't it obvious that they did it, and after spreading the virus, they came to sell things to us, is it so shameless? ”
"This is a surprise to us, even if we find out in time, there is not enough vaccine, there is no way to stop this crisis in less than two days!"
"Fuck, yes, these brutes, and his grandmother wants to invade us Huaxia!"
There were all smart people present, and they saw the trickiness in it. They are all blowing their beards and staring, but there is a Resident Evil in the country, and it is difficult for them to organize a large-scale war! When the time comes, it will be good to be able to defend against the ambitions of these wolves.
So everyone was angry for a while and immediately calmed down.
"Old man Wu, even if this is the case, we have no evidence, now is how to solve this crisis!"
"How to solve it, the virus has spread across the country, and it can't be stopped at all, and now it's still about preserving the living force."
"Fortunately, we have already built a lot of underground bases, and more than 10 million people have lived in them, and now it's a matter of how to preserve more people."
Several people kept talking, and the old chief, who was sitting on the first seat, just listened quietly and did not speak.
"The vaccine is $5,000 a piece, which can be used by ten people, and only one million copies can be provided over there, so let's buy it first, and the people from your research institute will immediately take the vaccine and analyze it to see if we can get the vaccine as soon as possible."
"You immediately ordered the armies everywhere to be under martial law, and those who are infected with corpses must be dealt with immediately, and the army must not have problems, I am afraid that they will directly start a war in the near future, and in addition, we must try to protect the people who have not been infected, and it is a point to preserve a point of strength."
Soon after, all kinds of rich people with backgrounds got the news, desperately poured into the underground base, in order to get a place to enter, I don't know how many people went bankrupt, once back to the liberation, but they did not feel distressed on their faces, at this time, no matter how rich they are, how can life be important?
The number of people in more than a hundred underground bases in Huaxia has increased dramatically, and these people who were reluctant to come in before are now like crazy, making the capacity of the base quickly reach the limit.
However, these later people were temporarily isolated, and only when they were not infected with the virus and confirmed that they were safe could they really enter.
"Dad, when will it be our turn!"
A seven or eight-year-old boy looked at the crowd in front of him and ran up to his father and asked.
His father, a middle-aged man who was a little fat, was sitting on the ground bored at this time, and when he heard his son's words, he stood up and touched his head, and replied with a smile: "Come on, go and ask your mother to tell you a story!"
"No, Dad, I'm going to play a game, you give me your phone!"
"Let's play with it, don't run far!"
The man sat back again, staring at the crowd in front of him in a daze.
Sitting next to him was a noblewoman, who was his wife, holding her son gently, "Husband, is it worth it for you to do this?" ”
"How can it not be worth it, you don't see so many people wanting to go in, wife, I know you feel sorry for money, but if something really happens, money is just a pile of useless waste paper."
He is a billionaire who got the news from an official friend more than two hours ago, thought about it and made a decision.
He was a far-sighted man, and he could also see some problems from some phenomena, so he scattered the hard-earned property for decades, and brought the whole family in, and now as long as they passed the inspection, their family could enter.
They fell silent, and the people next to them continued to talk.
"This quota is really expensive, it costs five million a lot, I heard that it was only one million a few days ago!"
"You'd be wise to come in in time, and I guess it's going to be longer, believe it or not?"
A newly developed machine sirens an alarm, and the operator in a white lab coat shakes his head at several policemen in front of him.
"Will you come with us, sir?"
Two policemen immediately stepped forward, stopped the man who wanted to enter, and forcibly took him away.
The man resisted dissatisfiedly, and his voice faded away, "I paid the money, where are you going to take me!" ”
……
In the outside world, of course, ordinary people don't know this. Or go to work when you should go to work, and eat when you should eat. Running for life, many people lamenting heat stroke because the weather is too hot, these seem to be no different from usual.
But if you look closely, you will find that many people's eyes begin to turn red, as if staying up late, many people have symptoms of coughing, and there are more people in the hospital.
At this time, the government issued a warning, saying that the new flu has spread across the country recently, and the Ministry of Health itself issued a red alert, but what makes people wonder is that this time the government issued the name of the virus, what is the L virus, which is extremely contagious, so that people should pay attention to precautions and not be infected.
Most people with cough and headache also went to the hospital to prescribe some cold medicine, and did not feel that they were infected with the flu, after all, SARS and influenza A were much more serious than this.
They don't know that in order not to cause panic, the truth has been covered up, only the army is strictly inspecting, every soldier has to take a blood test, and once they find that they are infected, they will be immediately isolated and sent to a place for centralized treatment.
And the scientists who study these viruses are not able to make much breakthrough for a while, so they can only try to make some instruments to check the viruses to cope with the inspection of underground bases and the army.
Some high-ranking officials in various places also received the news and began to slowly concentrate the local police forces, secretly preparing something.
The reserves in the underground base are also increasing rapidly, and the materials are quietly being transferred from all over the place.
Because of the money contributed by many wealthy people, more and more materials were purchased and transported to the warehouse in waves.
The weather is very hot, or a high temperature warning, or a lot of strange things happening, it seems that there is no difference, ordinary people are running for life, occasionally enjoying a little happiness in the tension and fatigue, but they don't know that there is darkness slowly enveloping them......
