Richard stayed on the experimental ship, personally watching every small step of the investigation, but the continuous investigation did not bring any useful clues to the truth - it seemed that each subject under investigation had a clear base and a transparent background, and did not have any possible potential problems.

They even turned the research ship upside down, but the investigation reached an impasse.

Zheng Zhilan felt a little uneasy about the current situation.

I have another tube of reagents withheld, and if they interrogate or search my home, will that lead to a conclusion that I am involved? That's not clear.

Fortunately, she did not wait for this day to happen, and the international situation became more and more chaotic -- and countries quickly shifted their focus away from this tube of reagents.

Governments that have been unable to hold their breath have begun to point fingers at each other, and newspapers and news are full of accusations against other countries, as if all countries are to blame and only their own countries are innocent victims.

At the next day's UN General Assembly meeting, governments around the loss of the test tube launched a mutual accusation without sufficient evidence, and the bear country was unanimously criticized by the members of the Star Ring Alliance. He simply left the scene angrily.

"At present, my country takes into account the current special international situation, even in wartime, my country is responsible for maintaining the maximum tolerance, if you still insist on going your own way, want to pour all the black water on my country's head, then sorry, Xiong Guo will no longer need to participate in such talks from today!"

"Humph! Be a thief with a weak heart!! The representative of the Principality of Heilan sent Nyakovsky away in such a voice.

And when he left, the countries, including the countries of the Star Ring Alliance, almost collectively turned the momentum of their attacks to the Eagle Country.

The countries of the Middle East have also seized the opportunity to carry out the harshest verbal attacks on the Eagle State, identifying the Eagle State as the culprit of all incidents.

Offstage, the blonde man and Zheng Zhilan also listened to the meeting.

"It's just a tube of reagents, it's just a prion sample, and now it's full of zombies, it's a big deal to refine a set again, why fight endlessly?" Zheng said, dismissive of the efficiency and focus of this group of politicians.

"Now everyone is not arguing over the virus sample, the point is that the theft itself may point to the source of the zombie crisis." The blonde man said, "All countries are suspicious of each other, and no one wants such troubled waters to lead to their own country." At the same time, everyone hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to fight for the greatest interests of their country. ”

"But in my opinion, in the current situation, it may be that before the culprit is found or the benefits are obtained, countries will fight first." Zheng Zhilan said.

"There is no way, sometimes, once the situation of one thing is formed, no one can shake it, and you can only wait for new developments to happen." The blonde man replied with a smile, "Current affairs are stronger than people." ”

For the current world situation, the "current affairs" of the bear country have become the biggest uncertainty factor on the surface.

――――――――――――

The attack on the experimental ship also made the situation of the refugee boat in Zhongzhou even worse.

The soldiers that Richard had originally sent to clean up the land were also urgently repatriated, and the transfer plan of the refugee ship was also put on hold, but Zheng Zhilan did not completely give up this effort.

"Would it be okay if the refugee boat was directly authorized to approach the land on its own, and the group of refugees would try to choose the right land for defense?" She advises blonde men.

"You're still speaking for the people of Zhongzhou." Nestas smiled, he was never overly sensitive to such harmless advice.

"Once you've been to that boat, you're going to have to find a way to talk to them, and Ms. Yang can't do it because she doesn't have the chips on hand. Now I have a good message for the countries, even if the government has no time to spare the energy to fulfill the previous demand, at least let the refugee boats dock and let them raise their own bases, right? Zheng Zhilan said.

"Yes, but remember, by doing so, it's the equivalent of putting the refugees back on land, and that group of people won't necessarily appreciate you, but may scold you." "Since they chose to come to the refugee ship in the first place, they largely didn't want to face the zombies that littered the mountains. ”

"Then they have to face the reality that if they are on the same ship as they are in prison, they might as well let them die a better death." Zheng Zhilan replied.

"Well, I can arrange it for you, but first of all, I am afraid that you need to make the refugees accept your arrangement, and I don't want to see the refugees being set on fire and disrupting the situation even more. You have to let the refugees make their own decisions, and you have to let them know that if they dare to make trouble, they will suffer in the end. ”

Nestas cotton with a needle agreed in principle to Lane's proposal.

Then this kind of thing, I'm afraid I have to rely on Ms. Yang to explain it to the refugees, Zheng Zhilan thought. Get up and walk over to Ms. Yang.

Ms. Yang was not interested in the current topic of the meeting - whether it was good or bad, it had nothing to do with Zhongzhou, and what she had in mind was to continue the lives of Zhongzhou people as much as possible, and to use her political energy to the maximum to prevent the invasion of Youguo.

When she heard Zheng Zhilan's words, she was overjoyed, and immediately left the venue and rushed to the refugee ship with Zheng Zhilan.

――――――――――

At the same time, after leaving the venue, Nyakovsky was determined to leave the aircraft carrier, and he booked a plane to return to China in an hour -- since the capital of the bear country had already fallen, he had to first take a flight to a city in the Far East and then transfer to the temporary residence of the current government of the bear country. This station is located in the hinterland directly east of the capital.

His plane took off from an aircraft carrier and almost went straight north -- he needed to fly into the airspace of the North South Bang Kingdom and part of Zhongzhou, but this part of the territory was now occupied by Youguo.

However, to the surprise of the international community, before he could fly through the North and South countries, the plane exploded, disintegrated, and finally sank into the sea over the East China Sea.

This became another huge fuse that upset the balance of the international community and eventually led to a world war.

――――――――――――――

The Bear Nation soon learned of this new development, which angered the Bear Leader.

Almost a few hours later, the Bear Country issued the highest security alert to the whole country, and at the same time, their nuclear weapons were fully prepared, ready to launch at any time to the Star Ring Alliance countries, Youguo, and Eagle States -- originally some of them were used to deal with Zhongzhou and other countries, but since Zhongzhou was almost non-existent, these nuclear weapons were also aimed at the major cities of the Eagle Country. As for the countries of the Middle East and Africa, these countries are either anti-eagle states in the first place, or they do not have a clear position (and most of them have little power) to protect themselves from the nuclear threat.

The Eagle Nation urgently met with the Star Ring Alliance countries overnight and asked them to suspend their conventional weapon attacks on the Bear Country to avoid further provoking the Bear Country, and at the same time, because the Principality of France and the Principality of England themselves also possess nuclear weapons, the Eagle Nation is also afraid of them. The Eagle State secretly demanded that these two countries not use nuclear weapons first before the time "the fish is dead."

On the other hand, the Eagle State and other non-nuclear Star Ring Alliance countries have reached a nuclear protection treaty, promising that if any country is attacked by the Bear State, the Eagle State will carry out a nuclear counterattack against the Bear State. At the same time, the Eagle Country's nuclear weapons also began to be on hot standby, targeting the major cities of the Bear Country, the Youguo, the Principality of France, the countries of the Star Ring Alliance, and the countries of the Middle East.

Even allies, in the event of a nuclear war, have to be put on guard.

Nuclear war is on the verge of breaking out.

This is not a cold war, but a real war -- a nuclear war against the backdrop of a biochemical catastrophe.

Countries are shrouded in nuclear shadows, and the living conditions of ordinary citizens are becoming more and more chaotic.

All over the world, the social order is already showing signs of collapse, with widespread shutdowns of schools, factories, institutions, and mass demonstrations every day.

In the case of the Eagle Country, the financial market plummeted, but the arms dealers made a windfall one by one, and the citizens rushed to the supermarkets and pharmacies to snap up all the supplies, but the arms dealers directly deployed force to garrison specific gun trading points -- want to buy guns? Come, you can pay money or materials, but want to grab it? You have guns, arms dealers have more guns, and we are not afraid to kill a few more people.

The country of Xiong faced multiple harsh winters economically, militaryly, meteorologically, and politically, and the citizens were divided into three groups, a few of whom stayed in their cities and hometowns, some of whom began to join the army enthusiastically, and the rest began to migrate to the Far East one after another.

The Duchy of Fran, the Duchy of Heilan and other countries of the Star Ring Alliance have a smaller hinterland, it seems that no matter where they are transferred, there will be the possibility of a nuclear attack, and their society is more "orderly", citizens should smoke and smoke, drink coffee and coffee, there are fewer products from MadeinZhongzhou, they also have a variety of products from New World factories such as North Africa, everyone knows that they are going to die anyway, it is better to be more refined.

And Youguo, under such chaos, has accelerated the progress of war preparations, recruited a large number of soldiers, rapidly promoted the arms industry, and quietly started the production of nuclear weapons.

"If necessary, in the area where zombies are densely populated in Zhongzhou, in addition to conventional weapons bombardment, 'special' weapons can be used to bring the northern province of Zhongzhou under the jurisdiction of Youguo earlier." Youguo's military officials have unleashed such rumors in the country.

These will be the beginning of an even more tragic apocalypse.
