"As many as 1.23 million people died in the plague. The northern states of India have been devastated. Agriculture, commerce and culture are unlikely to improve for at least five years. The catastrophe could have been contained at first, but the prejudice and short-sightedness of the Indian government caused them to miss out on the early stages of the plague. According to an investigation report released by the Chinese government in September this year, the power struggles between various political parties in India have made the lower classes of people fall victim to politics. They could have spent $50 billion to rebuild the waterway cleaning facility, or they could have solved the problem at the root. But instead of doing so, they listened to the lies of the World Health Organization and the Americans, and spent huge sums of money to buy TQ2 from Pfizer in large quantities. ”

"Poor Indians simply can't afford to use this expensive cure, and politicians' lies and poor infrastructure make it impossible for them to change anything. Pfizer made a big profit, and the World Health Organization has long been bought by the Americans. This is the same as the financial crisis, which is actually a despicable act of the rich people who legally rob the last copper plate from the pockets of the poor. What's even more terrifying is the sordid behavior of Pfizer in this incident. They have already proved that both the "angel medicine" that caused shocking turmoil in the United States before and the "TQ2" that played the role of a savior in the Indian plague this time are actually tools used to accumulate wealth on a large scale. They are making money much faster than they think, even the traditional financial families can't compare to it. ”

"If you have money, you can have everything, even control, rule a country. This is true for Pfizer, who act in an unscrupulous manner and have no regard for ethics in the pursuit of profits. ”

"It's India that suffers this time, and who will be next?"

"Recorded by: Alice, an investigator at the International Committee of the Red Cross. Quinn. ”

"March 19: We investigated the current outbreak in Ethiopia and found that the biological characteristics of the bacteria infected with this plague are very similar to the source of the plague in India that occurred last year. The biological samples of the two are in agreement with more than 99%. ”

"The main infected area is still in the tropics, and we have given this bacterium a name———— Equatorial Fever Bacteria."

"The situation in the affected areas is very complicated and even worse than last year in India. The people here not only have to deal with the plague, but also the threat of war. The various clans are constantly fighting, and there are coups d'état almost every month. Ethiopia is better, but the situation on the Congolese side is a mess. There was almost no electricity here, and research work had to be suspended. The current team base is being moved, and the rebels are said to have received a new batch of equipment. It is a kind of individual mecha that uses the exoskeleton assistance system developed by the Japanese, changes the basic mode of operation, and adds a weapon system. I've never had much research on weapons, but Bob can tell the truth. According to him, this individual mecha can easily deal with heavy tanks, and even carry hundreds of kilograms of weapons and ammunition on the battlefield...... Oh, my God! The world is messed up enough, maybe I should get on the next plane out of Africa, away from these who don't understand what they're fighting for. ”

"April 22: Today we received assistance from Pfizer. This includes large generators and a constant supply of large quantities of fuel. Dr. Johnson succeeds Boyar as the new leader of our team. He's from Pfizer. Although we have a bad impression of the company, we must admit that Dr. Johnson is a good person, with a good sense of humor and not very strong at work. ”

"April 25: Comparative data show that although the equatorial fever bacteria have mutated from last year in India, the basic structure has not changed. Treatments with water purification can still work, and the results are significant. Dr. Johnson asked us to do a deeper analysis of equatorial fever bacteria. According to him, only by developing corresponding special drugs can we fundamentally solve the problem. ”

"I don't think so."

"The so-called special drug is actually the selection of antibiotics against the bacteria themselves. While killing bacteria, more resistant bacteria are produced. From this point of view, I tend to focus on phages. Because phages and bacteria are inherently natural enemies. Like a lion and a zebra, the latter is always food for the former. Of course, zebras will evolve and they will run faster, but in any case, they will only run fast, and they will eventually be eaten by lions, and they will never be able to beat lions. ”

Dr. Johnson's point of view is quite novel. He wanted to find, or create, some kind of virus that would be used to counteract equatorial fever bacteria. It is said that Pfizer is working on such a research project, and it has already made a breakthrough. Last year, they had already demonstrated the effectiveness of the miracle drug in India, and they wanted to replicate the same profit in Africa. ”

"To be honest, I don't approve of Dr. Johnson's approach. The animal cell membrane is a double layer of phospholipids and a large number of specific substances, the cell wall of plants is cellulose, and the outer structure of bacteria (cell membrane, capsule, etc.) is composed of chitin. Creating or discovering viruses to counter equatorial fever bacteria is like having several different safes that require different codes to open them. The reason why we humans get sick is because of our own immune system. If Pfizer does continue in this direction, even if it can develop a specific drug for the ever-evolving equatorial fever bacteria, it will also change the physiological characteristics of the drug users, or directly destroy the original immune system. ”

"And when they do it, the benefits are obvious, and the disadvantages are almost as much. I can't tell the difference between right and wrong, because I'm not an all-knowing and all-powerful God. But there will definitely be people who will be unhappy about this, and there will definitely be people who will stop all this, either openly or covertly...... Since its inception, antibiotics have occupied an extremely important position in the history of human medicine. There are so many countries in the world, and almost every country has its own pharmaceutical institution. It is no exaggeration to say that antibiotics are a core magnetic field that connects the interests of many people. Pfizer's approach is clearly breaking the rules. They obviously want to replace traditional antibiotics with bacteriophage viruses, use all kinds of resources and diseases that have emerged, maximize their advantages, and get the largest share of profits from them. ”

"There will definitely be people who will oppose it, and even cause large-scale chaos."

"August 3: Today's observational data shows that equatorial fever bacteria have evolved again. Their biological structure has changed, and their cell walls are no longer as soluble in water as they once were. To make matters worse, several commonly used antibiotics have not worked against it. We have increased the number of water purification washes for patients and increased the dose of antibiotics for another group of patients, and the slow release of the disease on both sides is not ideal. ”

"Maybe Dr. Johnson is right, only by increasing the development of bacteriophage viruses can we solve the problem at the root."

This concludes the file.

Zheng Xiaoyue glanced at Liao Qiu and found that he was still sitting stiffly, obviously not yet sobering up from the shock and fear before.

Perhaps this is the difference between the high and low levels of evolution. He's not a combat-type infected after all.

Taking out the pen recorder from the backpack and stuffing the memory card he had just gotten into it, Zheng Xiaoyue gently pressed the start button.

She had to know more before she could judge where to go next.

The pen recorder itself does not have a voice playback function, and headphones must be used.

Liao Qiu raised his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and just saw Zheng Xiaoyue's series of movements when he put on the headphones.

There was something strange on her face.

At first, he was slightly stunned, and then his entire facial muscles twitched.

In the end, Zheng Xiaoyue's face turned pale, there was no trace of redness, and a strange light shook in the depths of her eyes.

Liao Qiu found it difficult to understand the changes that had happened to her. So he supported the ground with both hands, stood up, walked over, squatted down in front of Zheng Xiaoyue, and asked suspiciously, "Big sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zheng Xiaoyue was obviously stunned. After nearly three seconds, her lips opened slightly, and her facial expression changed from sluggish to stunned.

She took off the earbuds with a mechanical movement, and handed them to Liao Qiu along with the pen recorder in her hand, speaking dryly, as if she had been walking in the desert for a long time.

"You should hear this."

Liao Qiu took the earbuds and put them on.

Although he didn't know Song Jiahao, and he had never met this person, with the memory cards he had obtained before, Liao Qiu was familiar with his voice.

"The next relic placement point is in Xichang. Like this time, you'll have to turn around and go back. Actually, you don't need to say that you know what to do. The situation is different now than it used to be because you have made the choice to "pivot". Enjoy your canned meal! Eat Zheng Xiaoyue, eat everyone around you, and then choose your favorite targets from ordinary people and transform them into new "canned food". This is a powerful act of necessity and an evolutionary path that you have chosen for yourself. ”

"Don't feel guilty, that will only make you weak. I love the saying "men bleed without tears", and the same applies to you. 100,000 Karel creatures are enough for you to use for a while, and you can get more next time. Hey, hey, hey...... You know, I never lied and never cheated on you. ”

"Don't feel lost about the future and don't have too many questions. It won't do you any good that way. The world is changing every day, and getting better or worse doesn't make the slightest difference to your current situation. You are infected, not human, and not mutant. It's hard to make a choice, but once you've made a decision, you can't change it. Congratulations, my friend, you will become the most powerful creature in the world. ”
