That mentor also learned a piece or two of information through the various materials left by his predecessors.

"Sir, our research, is this virus also used to kill people?" Masao Yamamoto licked his lips and asked in a low voice.

"No, at least I don't think so, and I'm trying to convince the Secretary of War to change the direction of my research."

Masao Yamamoto is no longer a layman who knows nothing about viruses, viruses can kill people, they can also induce mutations, they can be used in medical treatment, and even if they are used properly, they can also make a big difference in the field of medicine.

However, when he heard the word Minister of War, he swallowed it with difficulty, and muttered in a quieter voice: "Minister of War? ”

"Yes, where do you think you came from? It was a research base belonging to the Imperial Army. ”

"Huh?"

Masao Yamamoto screamed in surprise, but he didn't show much disgust, just pure surprise. At that time, Japan's militarism was still in its infancy, and it was mainly to arouse the nationalist sentiments of the Yamato nation, and to promote some national superiority and loyalty to the emperor.

It was not a bad thing for him to participate in the research of the army system, to serve the emperor and to make the Yamato nation stand tall among the world powers.

Perhaps, at that time, he also remembered the Blade of the Red Moon, the glorious ancestor dressed in military uniform, in the form of a fiery mass of tall warriors loyal to the lord, which constantly inspired him and helped him overcome his disgust and irrepressible vomiting of those filthy and filthy things.

As Masao Yamamoto delved deeper into the heart of his research, he became more aware of this fearful virus.

In addition to collecting a large number of materials about the large-scale epidemic in the past ten years, they also found several similar epidemics in ancient books, and even found the shadow of similar epidemics in the legends and stories of some primitive tribes.

It is inferred that this virus has been around for a long time.

However, the way the virus spreads has always been unbelievable, and there are many cases that show that the virus does not spread from person to person, and an infected patient cannot infect those around him, even if he eats and sleeps together.

In those voluminous materials, Masao Yamamoto even saw his father's name, but only a few sentences were mentioned and were not recorded in detail as a special case.

What is puzzling is that all the researchers who came into contact with those virus samples were not spared and all died in the line of duty. The virus samples were kept completely sealed, and even during the cultivation and experimentation process, the most advanced isolation technology was used at the time to ensure that the researchers were not exposed.

This is the first doubt.

The second confusing aspect is that those who are infected, who often exhibit various conditions of failure and mutation, and do not find any suspicious viruses or bacteria in their blood, hair, or other body groups.

The third puzzle is the origin of the virus samples.

After reading through the briefing on this topic, Masao Yamamoto discovered this problem - virus samples, which are usually taken from original carriers or infected people, since no suspicious viruses and bacteria have been found in the infected people, where do those samples come from?

Even his mentor couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, he was a professional, so he naturally discovered this suspicion earlier. If the source of the virus can be found, it will be of great help to the research on this topic.

"Teacher, what about the Minister of War? Didn't mention the origin of these virus samples? Masao Yamamoto asked very seriously.

The mentor shook his head, looking very helpless: "I'm not sure if what they said is true, according to the army, the person who collected these samples was dead when they were found. ”

"Dead?" Even those who are not deeply involved in the world quickly notice the surprising part.

"Unbelievable, right? There are many doubts in this, but the military department has made it clear that finding the source of the virus sample can be used as a sub-topic of the study, which makes people feel that what the military department said is not without credibility. ”

The conversation between the two was interrupted - the memories were broken and could not be collected.

Later, the mentor took Masao Yamamoto to an archive room, where there was information from the Army — some reports on the origin of the virus samples.

In fact, the project was originally led by military doctors from the Army Hospital, but it was only when they discovered that the virus had far exceeded the knowledge and research capabilities of the military doctors, so they expanded the scope of the project.

The virus sample was found on a fishing boat about seven nautical miles off the coast in the village of M612 (the secret number of a fishing village) in Hokkaido.

There were five fishermen on board, a paranoid military medical researcher, and all six were dead when the boat was found.

According to intelligence at the time, the fishing boat was not leased or requisitioned by the military department, and it is speculated that they found the researcher's body (and may still be alive) somewhere at sea and were about to take him back to shore, but before they could return to shore, all the people on board were infected with the virus and died.

Another fishing boat returning to port found the ghost boat - the crew should have thanked the owner for being a coward, they found the dead man on deck - the death was very strange, and they quickly fled the scene, and the fishermen reported the ghost boat to the coast guard.

The location where the ghost ship was found was more than 150 miles away from the fishing village (M001 village) where the plague broke out, and in order to avoid causing panic, the government at that time specially blocked the news - the poor coast guard had no knowledge of the plague and the virus.

They just thought it was a horrible pirate killing.

A total of six coast guards were dispatched at that time, and only one survived.

The coast guard stayed on board, and the other five officers boarded the ghost boat to examine the body, and later speculated that one of them had found the virus sample, which was contained in a special, and therefore conspicuous, bottle. Those people touched the virus sample.

According to the surviving officers' descriptions, the scene was horrific, and in just a few seconds, they quickly aged and died.

However, there was a police officer whose death was so special that he was documented as a special case that the officer swelled up rapidly, almost twice his height, as if there was a demonic force that quickly stretched his body and then blew it up.

However, along with the expansion of his body, there was also rapid aging - when the body was found, it had aged and shrunk, but it was also an astonishing 235 centimeters tall, much higher than his original height of 1.56 meters.

The seafarers, who had witnessed all this, thought that they had encountered a sea monster or some other devil, and as if they were crazy, they sent their ships back to port and reported the situation to their superiors.

Then there are the military doctors of the military department - the army has tightly sealed off the village of M001, and four military doctors have been mobilized from there, and those unlucky military doctors have all been infected and died.
