In the eastern part of the United States, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, only 300 kilometers from Washington, D.C., has been fenced with barbed wire and various obstacles, and National Guard tanks and armored vehicles are behind the wall as if they were defending the line.

Helicopters hovered in the sky, loudspeakers repeatedly broadcasting announcements such as "follow the instructions to the exit and wait for inspection" and "you will be shot if you climb over the wall".

Each exit is put together by several containers, and the flow of people has to enter one by one through the rotating railing, and each person enters, on the armored vehicle next to the railing, the mechanical arm will fall, and what kind of instrument will be used to scan the human body up and down. The person being scanned follows the instructions of the horn and walks towards the different containers.

Tanks and armored vehicles were at least forty or fifty meters away from the exit, and soldiers with machine guns were watching nervously at the exit. From time to time, someone loosened the straps of their helmets, spat on a cloudy breath, and looked like a nuclear bomb would explode in front of them at any moment.

"Another one! Damn, who knows how many people he infected! ”

In the inspection vehicle, looking at the faint red line on the head on the screen, the non-commissioned officer gritted his teeth and scolded.

Another non-commissioned officer said happily: "If it weren't for the technology that the Star Alliance urgently improved, the end of the United States would have been staged." ”

The two were chatting, and the atmosphere was relaxed, and on the screen, a person's head lit up with a large red spot that was eye-catching, and the two jumped up as if they were electrocuted.

"Radiation source! Discover the source of the radiation! ”

"Intensity sensing, 50 meters no response, level 4!"

"Dispose of it on the spot!"

The export container was originally connected on both sides, and the side leading to the crowd was suddenly closed, and the young woman inside was shivering, looking like she had a bad cold, and was startled passively, and then clutched her head and screamed.

Outside the container, a stout robot that had been crouching stood up, aimed at the patient, shot out the rope net, and dragged it to a separate container in the distance.

Outside the container was a metal platform, and the woman was still rolling and struggling in the net, and the robot picked up the iron cone on her arm and smashed it towards the woman's head and neck, mechanically, quickly, and violently. What is amazing is that even though the woman's neck is crooked, her head is deformed, her brain is bursting, her body is still twitching, and her arms are still shaking.

The robot took a few more steps back, and the weapon station of an unmanned armored vehicle next to it turned, focusing a beam of ultra-high frequency microwaves on the woman's head. White smoke gradually spilled from the woman's head, and after more than ten seconds, the woman was completely motionless. The door of the container opened, and the robot dragged the corpse in and threw it onto the already high pile of corpses.

The same situation is playing out at the same time at several exits in the quarantine zone, which is no different from the end of the film and television works.

For Washington, the rapid spread of the "stargate syndrome" is only two or three steps away from the end of the world.

The Amish people in this area have always lived a closed and conservative life, with no contact with television, radio, and the Internet, and newspapers only read local tabloids. Stargate syndrome has patronized the area, leaving the middle-aged and elderly people behind, and by the time the state government notices that something is wrong, the situation is so serious that the entire area must be locked down.

The whole of the United States watched the live broadcast of the lockdown of the Amish area, saw civilians who climbed over the wall without heeding the advice being shot and killed, and the test notices at the exits lit up with red lights, and the audience covered their mouths with sad faces, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally missing another source of infection. Of course, they are not visible to robots dealing with patients with radiation sources.

At the beginning of the outbreak of Stargate syndrome, the Americans were still stable and did not have a national mobilization like in China, but when the Amish settlement area became the hardest hit area, the president quickly issued martial law, which was only 300 kilometers from Washington!

Detection areas have been installed at airports and stations, and if an infected person appears, a sniper will shoot a tranquilizer gun, and then the robot will transfer to the isolation area and notify the IPCA, that is, the Blue Cross for containment. If it is a severe patient of the radiation source, it will be disposed of secretly on the spot.

Drawing on the experience of the Chinese government, the United States has also implemented a series of measures, such as banning large gatherings, advising the public not to go out, not to contact strangers, and providing services best through online channels.

On the part of the government and the military and police, the requirements are stricter, and all meetings are held online, and key members are not allowed to meet in person. Including the president, they have all become heavy otaku who stay alone in a small suite, and will die within half an hour of being off the Internet.

By mid-September, Stargate syndrome had spread around the world, with more than 300,000 people publicly reported and more than 5 million infected people quarantined.

This is not a normal illness, it is not transmitted through the air and blood, etc., but is a non-contact infection by eye contact, or even radiation. Identifying patients with Stargate syndrome based on their behavioral characteristics, as well as symptoms such as headaches, fevers, and DNA and blood abnormalities, is as dangerous as when a large number of medical workers were infected without understanding the SARS symptoms.

Through the study of patient samples, Starlink quickly launched a terahertz brain scanning plug-in, which contains a comparative model of brain tissue characteristics, which can accurately determine patients with Stargate syndrome.

Starlink's free sensor provided to various countries is a powerful tool to detect the type of radiation source infection, this sensor uses living brain tissue preservation technology, as well as bioelectric induction technology, as long as it is in the range of radiation sources, brain tissue bioelectricity will have subtle changes, and the radiation intensity and range can be indicated after analysis.

Char Heavy Industries also urgently switched to the production of robots, and on the basis of Younas combat robots, a large number of law enforcement robots with only simple intelligence were created, which made the military and police of various countries breathe a sigh of relief.

With reliable detection mechanisms and enforcement methods that are not afraid of direct contact, the spread of the disease has finally been contained.

The containment process and the handling of the complex environment all rely on the support of the Starlink special service, and for this reason, Xia Ming urgently recalled the special service stationed at the Star Gate and deployed them on all continents. Coordinated by the IPCA, or Blue Cross, they are transported to quarantine areas established by various countries, where they are monitored by robots and automation.

By the end of September, the curves of various indicators such as infected areas, infected people, deaths, and the number of people in custody began to decline. Scientists from various countries have also found that the harm and contagiousness of the "stargate syndrome" will decrease after multiple infections, and as long as the infection curve falls, it should not trigger another major outbreak.

However, what happened next made governments even more headaches.

First, there is the question of the millions of people in quarantine, and secondly, the lack of progress in treatment options. Some scientists are even pessimistic that it is impossible to find a treatment plan, because the patient has a damaged brain, and some of them are alienated into other structures. One is a neuropathy caused by damage to brain tissue, and the other is a psychosis caused indirectly.

Even if a treatment plan is found, they can be cured, and it is impossible for them to enter society again, and normal people will never dare to make even eye contact with them.

The second is the issue of responsibility, the average person does not know the root cause of stargate syndrome, but this disease is obviously beyond human imagination, and it must be related to the abnormality in the stargate. This has led the people and forces of all parties to point the finger at the government, asking them what is really going on and what is going on.

In order to stabilize the mood of the people, governments have been concealing the mental abuse ability of mutant Borg, and this concealment is not long-term and imprecise after all. At a time when the contagion is raging and a world war of zombs is on the horizon, calls for accountability are easily silenced, and now governments have no way to avoid it.

Why don't you tell people that the aliens inside the stargate are actually mutated zombies?

Why don't you tell people that this mutant zombie will infringe on people's minds and cause people to mutate?

Why not tell people that Starlink has a reliable way to defend against this kind of aggression, but Younas doesn't? Just rely on adaptive training and injections?

Why did the infected Younas officers and soldiers return directly to Earth?

Why did Starlink know about this but didn't alert the UNOC and the public earlier?

All kinds of questions, after the momentum of the contagion eased, came flooding through various channels. One secret after another was exposed, one by one insiders stood up to speak, and the truth was pieced together little by little.

Starlink agents rely on the training of independent consciousness in order to resist the invasion of thinking.

Starlink handed over the training plan to Younas early in the morning, but the UNOC refused to accept it.

After the surviving officers and soldiers of Younas withdrew to Earth, the Star Federation also reminded the UNOC to pay attention to their situation, but the UNOC did not respond.

In the early days of the outbreak of Stargate Syndrome, the UNOC also refused to cooperate with Starlink in depth, and it was handled by the countries themselves.

It wasn't until things got out of hand that the UNOC reached an agreement, founded the Blue Cross, and asked Starlink for its full assistance.

Faced with the truth, the public was furious, and the first crusade was the UN Secretary-General and UNOC President. It is believed that he has completely failed to fulfill his duty to coordinate and promote international cooperation and bears unshirkable responsibility for the outbreak of Stargate syndrome.

In late September, the secretary general and chairman of the board reluctantly resigned. Although he, as the nominal leader of the human race on Earth, "led" the human race to win the first foreign war, opened the stargate, and allowed the human race to enter a new world, the existence of the Star Federation, the dullness of the UNOC, and the ineffective handling of the stargate syndrome made him not leave any good name in human history after all, and people only remembered him as a gray and slippery resignation.

The resignation of the president does not completely dispel the doubts about the UNOC as an institution, and sober international experts have pointed out that the UNOC's performance is beyond reproach because it is essentially a coordinating body. When it comes to internal affairs, each country has its own position, and the responsibility for the ineffective handling of Stargate syndrome should not be borne by the UNOC.

Ordinary people are too lazy to care about the United Nations, and they want to blame the country, the government.

On the Huaxia side, because the government's control of public opinion is very strong, and the cooperation between Starlink and Huaxia was the earliest, although 50,000 people died and 1.8 million people were quarantined in this incident, but compared to the worst, the performance is good, and the tide of public opinion to hold them accountable is still calm.

In stark contrast, the United States has not cooperated effectively with the Star Federation until zombie sieges are staged everywhere, so it is also the latest to receive the support of the Star Alliance. It wasn't until the Amish infected area appeared that the Starlink special services were allowed to enter the operation, and the containment was also messed up.

The number of publicly reported deaths in the United States, as many as 100,000 in Americans, and only 700,000 in quarantine, shows how different the U.S. government's handling of this disaster is from other countries.

It seems that the president of the United States has had to resign.

"I'm figuring out the words of the resignation statement, so don't bother me about these things, let the vice president take over," said the president, who was still alone in a small room in the White House, in a very sad tone.

The most powerful country on earth has performed the worst in dealing with stargate syndrome, with 100,000 publicly reported deaths and more than 200,000. In the later stage, I really panicked, and in many places, mild patients were treated as severe patients, or even radiation sources, and directly disposed of. Among them are many meningitis patients, and even people who have a severe cold, who were ruthlessly killed by the military police just because they held their heads and shouted pain.

The government can also excuse itself from the responsibility of concealing the report because it has not counted the whole thing, but when the media and the people make up the death toll and find out that the United States is the country that has suffered the heaviest loss of human life, and that the reason is that the government has not handled it effectively and has refused the aid it could have received, it will not be able to escape its responsibility.

God is pitiful, he is really wronged. Who knew that there was still an incubation period for the mutant Borg to infringe on people, and it would not occur until it returned to Earth? Starlink has just fought a war with Japan, who dares to let this white wolf into the country?

But the Americans will not listen to these reasons, and the Republican Party also needs to abandon him as soon as possible, lest the responsibility of the government be extended to the responsibility of the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party will certainly not let go of this opportunity, and everyone hopes that he will step down as soon as possible.

He didn't want to be brought to Congress for questioning, so he was forced to resign, and he left early to save a little face.

At this time, the quarantined patient was dissatisfied with the living environment or something, so he didn't bother to care.

The chief of staff reluctantly disconnected the communication, followed by Musk's request for communication.

The president is a little irritable, Musk also suggested cooperating with Starlink as soon as possible, and he also satirized Musk, was he bought by Xia Ming, and now he has the face to see others?

was about to refuse, but Musk sent a message, "You can resign, the United States can't admit defeat." ”

Answering the communication, the president sighed: "What else do I need to do?" ”

Musk also looked quite frustrated: "I'm just a messenger, and I shouldn't be the first to tell you about it, but they, I mean the people on Capitol Hill, and the old men behind them, think that this moment is very dangerous for the United States, and we need to do something." ”

The president raised an eyebrow: "What else can be done?" ”

Musk said in a low voice: "For example...... Ask a question, why, Starlink agents can resist the invasion of thinking? ”

"They have a set of methods, which is what kind of autonomy they have", the president was puzzled.

"Then why, before Xia Ming entered the Star Gate, he knew how to protect against this kind of thinking invasion?"

Musk's questioning stunned the president, and after a long time, he laughed: "Yes, he is the culprit." ”

Then he shook his head: "But what does it have to do with me?" I will not do such a thing, if reality requires the United States to admit defeat, but not bow down for the sake of face, it will be more harmful to the United States. ”

He looked at Musk very seriously: "I don't think there is any point in smearing Xia Ming at this time." The mistake I made before was to push Xia Ming and Starlink too far. ”

Musk shrugged: "I'm just a messenger, in fact, I have the same opinion as you, president." But the United States needs a new beginning, and if you don't take a stand, they will do it anyway. ”

"Musk, don't mess with these things, the UAI program has been cancelled, you still have to focus on what you do best, what about me......"

In a tone of relief, the president said, "I want to experience space too." ”

Yandu, President Chen of the Fuxiang Medical Association, was chatting with someone's virtual image.

"Now the fire has been extinguished, but the spark has to be guarded against. The central government has decided to roll out the early warning and detection plan for Xingmen syndrome as soon as possible, all community pre-diagnosis centers must be managed, no further subcontracting is allowed, and all medical GEIs must also be connected to the satellite network. Lao Chen, you Fuxiang Hospital must be cleaned up quickly, otherwise there will be a problem of public opinion, and there will be no way to speak again. ”

"All in charge? How's that going to work? 90% of Fuxiang Hospital has not yet completed the transformation! ”

"There's no way, Stargate Syndrome is a matter of life and death, let alone obstruction, it's just that the implementation is not effective, and it will be pushed to the end! A lot of people outside are also staring at you, if you nod your head at this time, you will die an ugly death, it's not that I scare you! ”

"But hundreds of thousands of people in our Fuxiang Township have to eat, and we used to have Chihiro to make it easier for us, but now Chihiro is down, and we don't even have a place to advertise. If you do this, the stalls will all fall apart! Lao Meng, let's talk to the above again! By the way, the shares of several medical groups this year, do you like over there? ”

"Lao Chen, I'll tell you this, it's already the meaning of the above. To put it mildly, when the national disaster is at the head, you have to save some thoughts about cutting meat. ”

"This, this is not cutting meat, it's digging out the heart!"

"I'll just say so much, what's wrong with you, don't blame the top for not pulling you."

"Lao Meng! Old ......"

The virtual image of the other party disappeared, and President Chen paused for a while, took off his glasses, and slammed it on the table: "TM's can't feed the dog!" ”

After a moment of breath, Chairman Chan put on the AR glasses that were already half rotten and called another person.

"That's the case, the central government and Starlink are very close to Stargate Syndrome, Starlink took the opportunity to ask the central government to comprehensively carry out the EI of medical treatment, I think Starlink has the intention of digging our roots."

"Why against us? It's very simple, in the past, we fought so fiercely with the Ma Zai Ren Ge Lian of the Star Alliance, even Liu Ruru was sent in by us, and even several of their lives. Xia Ming, that kid will let go of the opportunity to serve us in a pot? He is a ruthless man who even Japan dares to declare war! ”

"It's not a question of whether he can't afford to look down on us, everyone knows that he wants to subvert the country, start with medical care, and cut this piece out of the hands of the state, which is the first step. Our Fuxiang is a stumbling block for him, no matter how big or small, it is the target he has to deal with. I see, what kind of stargate syndrome is this, maybe he did it. What is going on inside the stargate, as far as he knows best, isn't he the manager of the stargate? ”

The other party is his best buddy, when he opened a clinic thirty years ago, he played the attending doctor in the lobby, and now he is the chairman of a chain hospital group.

Hearing these news from the "front line", Chairman Chen's eyebrows twitched: "Is Stargate Syndrome really his ghost?" ”

"Who knows? Guess, it's actually a basket poked out by the idiots of the UNOC, everyone knows it", the other party laughed: "But who understands the outsiders?" Don't all those who have a loud voice believe whom? ”

Chairman Chen slapped the table: "Now in this situation, you don't have any ideas?" ”

The other party sighed: "What waves can a small character like us make?" Take a step at a time, and eat a meal. ”

"We'll have to discuss it, I have an idea," said Chairman Chen's eyes. (To be continued.) )
