Chapter 32: Invitation to Join

In a ventilation pipe on the 6th floor of the medical union, a man of European descent was crawling forward, and cursing was coming out of his mouth from time to time.

"Are these kidnappers really looking for a place to invade, vents? Dirty and narrow......"

This person is none other than Mark Thomas, who promised Xiaofeng before to get into the vent of the ventilation pipe.

But as soon as he got into the vent, he regretted it, and it was hell for him with a little cleanliness fetish.

However, since he promised Xiaofeng, Mark has no reason to regret it, and he has to move on.

Mark moved quickly, because he didn't want to stay in the vent for too long, and second, there were marks on the dust of the vent, needless to say, most of them were left by the kidnappers.

Although there were traces of disturbance set by the kidnappers, Mark only took a few more minutes to clear them.

In the end, it only took eight or nine minutes to reach the destination.

"Huh~ha, it's really suffocating me." As the baffle at the end of the nozzle was pushed open, Mark began to breathe greedily into the air outside.

Because of his habit of cleanliness, Mark tried his best not to breathe when he was in the ventilation duct to avoid inhaling dust, and now as soon as he came out, he breathed heavily.

After a few breaths, Mark climbed out of the vent, which was a platform on the 6th floor of the Medical Union Building.

This place is usually impossible for anyone to come, and it is rarely noticed by others, and it is a blind spot; Only those maintenance workers will arrive when they come to carry out scheduled repairs.

And the only exit here is just a small opening next to the elevator, and it all relies on ropes to get in and out.

"Tsk, I really chose a good place."

Mark also had to admire that the kidnappers chose this invasion location was really perfect; Not only does not reveal his whereabouts, but also can quickly implement the kidnapping and escape plan.

"Let me see, little cubs, what ...... are left behind"

Exclamation to sigh, Mark was still very serious, checking the traces that any kidnappers might have left behind.

Looking around, Mark didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but a mark near the guardrail on the edge of the roof caught Mark's attention.

I saw that the dust traces here were relatively clear, and there was no thickness elsewhere.

"Is that so......" Mark said to himself, stroking his chin with his hand.

————————————————

The words are divided into two ends, at this time, in the conference hall on the 18th floor of the medical union.

"Hey, Chairman Lee, who are those two?"

Xiaofeng lazily pointed to the man and woman who were still sitting in the conference hall, who were the women and young men he had seen before.

"Oh, these two are experts who came with Dr. Kwan, and they were ordered to assist Dr. Kwan in developing a smallpox vaccine."

"Hello, my name is Pu Wenwen, and I am an immunologist!" The woman politely held out her hand.

Li Xiaofeng glanced at the woman twice, only to see the woman smiling, revealing a mature and capable temperament.

After a slight pause, Li Xiaofeng shook the woman's hand.

"Wang Fang, please advise!" The young man beside the woman said lukewarmly, it was a greeting.

"Hehe, okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's talk about the smallpox virus!"

Seeing that everyone had greeted him, Chairman Lee went straight to the point.

"Okay, let's see!" Xiaofeng said indifferently.

He was really a little curious about what kind of virus this mutated smallpox outbreak in the United States was.

"Okay, look at ......," Dr. Kwan said, turning on the screen on the conference monitor.

In the picture, an unrecognizable person, covered in pus and blood, is tied to a sheet.

"As you can see, this is mutant smallpox!" Dr. Kwan explains, "The patient's skin is distorted and deformed all over the body, and even becomes a monster. ”

"And the patient, delirious, sometimes quiet, sometimes furious."

Speaking of which, I saw that Dr. Guan pressed the button in his hand again, and the screen changed.

At this time, the picture is a short video, and I saw that the smallpox patient before was still tied to the experimental bed, showing calm.

But then, a staff member came to his side and was about to test his blood, when the patient suddenly burst out and grabbed the staff member.

The twisted hand, pus and blood splattered with force, and the staff was scratched and injured, after which a group of security guards arrived at the scene and took control of the situation.

"That's when smallpox patients go berserk, and it's clear that they were very aggressive." Dr. Kwan said.

"How do you feel a bit like ......" Seeing this, Li Xiaofeng's eyes shrank slightly, thoughtfully.

"It's kind of like Resident Evil, isn't it?"

"Hmm......" Li Xiaofeng did not speak.

Dr. Kwan then explained with action and saw that he pressed the button.

The picture is a man in a white robe, unrecognizable, with a hideous expression, and pus and blood all over his body.

Apparently this is the same staff member from before, who was infected and became a smallpox patient.

"Indeed, mutant smallpox is very similar to the T virus in Resident Evil, in which the infected person transmits the virus to the next host through wound infection."

"The mode of transmission is that the wound is infected?" Although Xiaofeng asked, he was thoughtful in his heart.

"Well, wound infection is the known way of infection."

"Actually, there's another point, I didn't confess to everyone......" Guan Gu suddenly changed his expression and became serious.

"Mutant smallpox has swept all of Manhattan, Manhattan has fallen, and New York has been locked down."

"The situation is very serious, and in order to avoid social panic and even world panic, the United States has blocked the news and secretly asked for help from medical organizations from all walks of life."

Hearing this, Xiaofeng was shocked in his heart, he never thought that mutated smallpox would be so powerful, and even the most economically prosperous administrative region in the United States, Manhattan, had fallen?

I don't know if his sister has experienced the ravages of the virus, his sister lives in Virginia, a continent away from New York, where the virus broke out, but despite this, Xiaofeng is still faintly worried in his heart.

"China attaches great importance to the smallpox virus and has begun to deploy military forces and make corresponding preparations just in case; As experts in the medical field, we have also been appointed to focus on the development of vaccines. ”

Dr. Kwan continued, "Although we are far away in the East and have nothing to do with ourselves, the duty of doctors is to treat them, and the heavy responsibility of developing vaccines in China falls on our shoulders......

"Then how are you going to research the vaccine, as soon as you get close to the patient, you will be attacked, and there is a high chance that you will be infected......" Xiaofeng asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, we just want to invite you to join our research group this time, because you are quite accomplished in the field of neurology, and can better understand the nervous system ...... of patients throughout the body."

"Hehe, you really think of me......" Xiaofeng interjected, "but I can't promise anything!" ”

"It's okay, you just join!" Dr. Kwan held out his hand and said in confidence.

Glancing at the harmless Dr. Guan, Xiaofeng was unhappy and said, "Cut, I'm joining!" ”

"Okay, this information is about the smallpox virus, you know first, and tomorrow you will come to the public medical school in H City......" Dr. Guan said, handing out a USB flash drive and a postcard.

Xiaofeng took it and looked at the postcard, which read: Guan Gu... Faculty of Medicine... Immunologists... He then put it in his trouser pocket.

"Alas, it's really troublesome......" exchanging contact information with Guan Gu, Xiaofeng left such a sentence, and left the conference hall.

"That guy, is he really a doctor? I've been a doctor for so long, and I've never seen such a perverse guy......" After Xiaofeng left, Wang Fang beside Pu Wenwen said unhappily.

Hearing this, President Li smiled bitterly: "Hehe, Wang Fang, Xiaofeng is like this, he is indifferent to everything, but in fact, his heart is very fine, you will know it after you have been with him for a long time." ”

"What Chairman Li said is that it is precisely because I fancy his talent that I will come to S City to invite him."

"The title of genius doctor, not everyone can get it......" Guan Gu looked at the aisle where Xiaofeng left, and said thoughtfully.

"Hmph, I don't care if he's a genius doctor or not, I just need someone who can contribute to the development of smallpox vaccine, and mediocrity doesn't deserve to stay in the team......" Pu Wenwen said suddenly, and then got up and left.

After waiting for a few seconds, Wang Fang also followed her and left.

"Hehe, Dr. Guan, as the leader of the research and development team, you must do a good job in people's hearts, I am old, so I won't worry about the affairs of you young people......" Chairman Li said to Guan Gu in a serious voice.

"Don't worry, Chairman Lee, I will set my ...... the record."

"That's nothing else, I'm quitting!"

"It's okay, it's not too early, you can go back first, and then we will discuss difficult medical problems together when we have time......" Chairman Li waved his hand.

"Definitely!" Sekiya said as he left the conference hall as well.

Now, in the huge conference hall, only Chairman Li was left, and he was sixty or seventy years old, and he seemed a little lonely, and he thought to himself:

"Alas... I hope you'll be able to do your job..."
