Gu Ji's heart "popped".

The famous anthrax attack in the United States immediately comes to mind.

Using the presence of anthrax bacillus, the attackers hid anthrax powder in letters and sent them to several news media offices, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

If it were normal, he might not have been able to relate to it.

But last week, he was poisoned and killed by the anthrax virus, and there were two consecutive historical marks related to anthrax, so Gu Ji kept an eye on it.

He swallowed and foamed.

Carefully stuffing the documents into an envelope, he locked the office door, took out his mobile phone, and called Kang Sung-hoon of the Seoul Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

"You bring someone over right now, I may have been hit by a bioterrorist attack, yes, I suspect it's bacteria......

After hanging up, Gu Ji turned to look at Zhang Shiyun, who was drinking coffee outside the window, and dialed it again.

The moment this kid saw the phone number, he was stunned at first, thinking that he was looking for something for him, so he immediately got up from his workstation and walked over, and subconsciously reached out to pull the office door lock.

Gu Ji raised his palm, motioned for him to stop, and then pointed to his phone again.

Zhang Shiyun, who understood the meaning, was connected.

"Senpai, what's wrong with you?"

"Evacuate the office immediately, no, all the personnel in the office of the Public Security Section on the entire floor, and turn off the central air conditioning in the building, I may have been attacked by a biological, and there is an unknown white powder in the document package in my office!"

"What!? Senior, I'm going to find someone to save you now!"

"I've called the CDC, do as I say!"

Gu Ji directly glared and scolded, interrupted Zhang Shiyun, took a picture of the information on the package label and sent it over, "In addition, don't hang up your mobile phone, help me check the identity information and address of the sender on the package, including the ground inspection monitoring, I want to know who has touched this package!"

"Okay, okay senior, I'll do it! Nanzhu, Brother Shengtai, come with me......"

Zhang Shiyun turned the phone into an outgoing mode, put it in his pocket, and quickly explained to the two.

Through the glass, Gu Ji could also hear the surprised cries of several people.

Especially the secretary Pei Nanzhu, who was looking at him with a look of grievance and self-blame, after all, she was the last person to pass the package, and she also put it on the office table with her own hands.

Wait until all the men have left the big office.

Gu Ji slowly twisted open the door of the room, turned around and closed it, walked to the public office area under his hands, picked up the disinfectant alcohol spraying can, and began to spray his body.

Only then did he dare to relax his breath a little and take a breath more.

In the event of a bioterrorist attack, the first element is to stay calm, identify the situation, and then take timely protection, use environmental facilities and carry-on items to cover the body, mouth and nose, avoid or reduce the invasion and inhalation of pathogens, and immediately stay away from the source of pollution.

Fortunately, Gu Ji has been active in MERS hard-hit areas such as hospitals recently, and he attaches great importance to personal protection for fear of being infected with the MERS virus.

So never take off gloves and masks in public, even in your own office.

Otherwise, he might have inhaled the powder the first second he opened the package.

Don't look at it spilling just a little bit.

Don't underestimate this.

As we all know, viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., which are commonly used in biological attacks, are invisible to the naked eye, and the so-called white powder is only their carrier.

Take, for example, the anthrax attacks in the United States.

Just one gram of anthrax powder can contain 10 billion spores, and just one ton of dry powder is enough to turn a metropolis of a million people into purgatory on Earth.

This is the reason why Gu Jixian let Zhang Shiyun and the others leave.

He was 100% sure that some of the white powder that had been spilled on the package just now had fallen on his body, and if he walked out of the office directly, several people would be just as susceptible to infection.

Every three minutes, Gu Ji sprayed his whole body with alcohol.

He is now

It is not certain whether the white powder is Bacillus anthracis, as it was last week, and if so, the ability of alcohol to kill it is very limited.

Especially weapons-grade anthrax.

It is all developed by the laboratory specifically for biochemical warfare, and the spores' survivability, attachment ability, and drug resistance are extremely strong.

This thing is metamorphosed to the point that it can survive for decades in soil and 90 years in fur products, and it must be exposed to sunlight for 100 hours, boiled for 40 minutes, 110 high-pressure steam for 60 minutes, or soaked in formalin solution for more than 15 minutes to kill the spores.

In World War II, the British dropped weapons-grade anthrax on Gruina Island, killing all life on the island in a matter of days, and the island remained contaminated for decades to come.

It wasn't until 1986 that 280 tons of formaldehyde were used to eradicate the anthrax bacillus on the island!

So if it is not sanitized in time, it will continue to spread.

Because biological attacks are so horrific, they are also known as "nuclear weapons for the poor".

Because to cause a 50 percent mortality rate in one square kilometer, the cost is $2,000 with conventional weapons, $800 with nuclear weapons, $600 with chemical weapons, and $1 with biological weapons.

This is also the reason why national counter-terrorism agencies take biological attacks so seriously.

After about ten minutes, Zhang Shiyun sent news that everyone in the entire public security department had been withdrawn, and his boss Sun Jae-seok also asked Gu Ji's current situation through his mobile phone, and comforted him not to be afraid, and had notified the anti-chemical warfare troops.

Since the last time I saved him from a car accident at the AM Hospital intersection.

Son Jae-seok's attitude towards him began to change, until Gu Ji got in touch with the daughter of the AM chaebol, especially Lee Hyun-jeong, the head of the secretary's office, and showed even more care.

[In view of the general environment,

About another quarter of an hour passed.

There was a sudden dense series of footsteps in the corridor, Gu Ji looked up, followed the window at the door, and saw a scene of yellow figures, which were the staff of the CDC Infectious Diseases Department.

Because Gu Ji said in advance that the biological attack factor may be bacteria.

Therefore, Jiang Chengxun and the others are wearing heavy-duty fully enclosed chemical protective clothing with built-in air call, also known as third-level biochemical protective clothing.

The suit is equipped with a positive pressure system, which can ensure that it is fully enclosed and has a strong air tightness, which can prevent the penetration of all kinds of chemical liquids, gases, and viruses and bacteria.

In addition, there are chemical-resistant gloves, professional protective boots, and hard hats.

Through the door and window, Jiang Chengxun glanced at Gu Ji.

Then he began to instruct his subordinates to pull the cordon, set up barricades to blockade them, and found chemical-resistant plastics from the boxes, and pasted a curtain along the office door before asking Gu Ji to open the door from the inside.

"The source of the infection is in my office."

"Ki-chan, first give Prosecutor Jin face protection and sanitize his whole body!"

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Ji took the initiative to report the information.

Jiang Chengxun gave an order, and the two sanitizing personnel with disinfectant behind him took out a fully enclosed respirator, put it on Gu Ji's head, and put anti-chemical protective gear on his wrists, neck, and shoes.

After making sure that there was no skin *** outside, he took out a spray gun similar to spraying pesticides, and sprayed chlorine disinfectant spray all over his body.

Normally, chlorine is damaging to the skin.

Just like you must take a bath after swimming in the pool, otherwise it will cause dry skin, cause irritation and itching, and if you accidentally inhale, it will also cause symptoms such as lung pain, nausea, and difficulty breathing, so you must protect your face in advance.

After spraying the disinfectant, the two began to change the pure water to rinse Gu Ji.

It's like killing pigs during the New Year.

Jiang Chengxun took two other subordinates into Gu Ji's office, took out the instrument, opened the "source", that is, the suspicious package, extracted a little white powder, and looked at it through a dyeing microscope

The morphology was quickly confirmed to be bacteria, but the type and number of bacteria could not be determined.

So the rest of the package was sealed and placed in the biochemical safety box.

"Alright, no problem."

Jiang Chengxun beckoned in mid-air, "After a while, sanitize the inside and outside of the room completely, and then sanitize personnel to go through the extracorporeal sanitize again before they can leave the room, understand?"

"Understood!"

All CDC personnel in the room should cheer in unison.

After speaking, he turned around and came to Gu Ji's side again.

"Prosecutor Kim, you can go back to the CDC with me for a full body examination in a while, don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do!"

Gu Ji nodded.

Today, Kang Sung-hoon has already become the deputy director of the Seoul CDC Testing Center.

It may have something to do with the current shortage of disease control personnel.

But this is mainly due to Gu Ji taking him to take the risk of reporting the MERS incident to the Disease Management Headquarters.

When Cheong Wa Dae began to pay attention and began to investigate the department that had neglected its management, the former head of the testing center had already been suspended because of the transfer of interests with Yamasang Hospital.

And Jiang Chengxun, who had a major meritorious performance in MERS, naturally replaced him.

Walk out of the building.

In addition to disease control vehicles, there are also many prosecutors and search officers standing in the open space of the ground inspection parking lot.

Although Gu Ji only asked Zhang Shiyun to empty the first floor of the Public Security Section, once the news of the "biological attack" was released, everyone would be afraid.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"Prosecutor Kim, how are you feeling now?"

"Prosecutor Kim, I, I really didn't mean to, I didn't know there was a problem with that package, woo woo......

The colleagues and leaders of the public security department surrounded them one by one, and Zhang Shiyun rushed to the front.

Pei Nanzhu's eyes were wet and red, and she kept asking him for money.

Gu Ji waved his hand, "It's not your fault in the first place, but you've had close contact with the body, so in order to prevent infection, you should go to the CDC with me for a check-up!"

In this way, he took Bae Nam-joo, the security guard on duty in the ground inspection room, and returned to the Seoul Central Center for Disease Control and Prevention together.

The three of them took a serological test in turn.

They were then placed in isolation wards to await the results of the tests.

During this period, Gu Ji has been in contact with Zhang Shiyun.

After he left, Son Jae-seok personally led the team.

After all, the CDC had determined that there was a high concentration of bacteria in the white powder, which could prove to be a premeditated biological attack, and that the target of the attack was also a prosecutor from the Public Security Division of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.

Their Public Security Bureau specializes in investigating bioterrorism attacks.

By doing so, the criminals are openly challenging the authority of South Korean prosecutors.

Therefore, in the state of seriousness, the results were quickly found out.

The sender's information is fake, the mobile phone has already become an empty number, and the address is also a fake address filled in casually, but fortunately, there is a single number on the package, Zhang Shiyun has found the courier and is bringing it back to the ground for interrogation.

Evening.

Jiang Chengxun came to the ward and brought a document with a serious expression:

"It's not Bacillus anthracis, it's a special staphylococcus, and it's not simple, it's a close relative of MRSA."

"Superbugs?"

When Gu Ji heard "MRSA", his first reaction was this name.

Jiang Chengxun knew that he was a microbiology professional, so he didn't explain too much, but directly handed him the test document.

Gu Ji carefully observed the content above.

MRSA, whose full name is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is known as a "superbug", which is more resistant to antibiotics than the ordinary version, and is not easily killed by drugs, and is more virulent.

But this particular staphylococcus in Kang Sung-hoon's report is even more terrifying than MRSA

。

It can not only grow in the blood, avoid the host's immune response, but also make the cell surface sticky and form a biofilm, which in turn makes bacteria resistant to antibiotics and causes sepsis, which is 180 times more toxic than MRSA.

Other words.

This is a highly infectious and lethal bacteria!

"Prosecutor Kim, do you think this bacteria is too scary?" Jiang Chengxun saw Gu Ji's face gradually gloomy, and couldn't help but analyze: "I suspect that this is not a bacterium born in nature at all, but a variety that has been improved through repeated research in the laboratory."

The meaning of his words is obvious.

This is a weapon-grade bacterium, specially designed to kill people!

Osan Base Biological Laboratory!

Gu Ji's eyes sharpened.

It was the only reason he could think of.

Zhou Mu died, and he originally thought that Shan Mulberry was behind the ghost.

But in this round, the criminals directly chose to kill under the Central District Prosecutor's Building.

Even if the mountain mulberry is rich and rivals the country, he does not dare to be so blatant.

Unless he touches something, it has reached the point of "not getting rid of it".

To be honest, just rely on the little friction between Gu Ji and Shansang's interests in MERS, it won't be like this; On the contrary, it is the eucalyptus of the explosion in the Osan laboratory, and the forces behind it are extremely deep.

Moreover.

The delivery time of the package investigated by Zhang Shiyun also happened to coincide with the time when he went to the Osan base in the morning.

But Gu Ji still can't figure it out for the time being.

Last week, he didn't go to the Osan base the whole time, but he was still killed by anthrax, and the reason for this round of special staphylococci is most likely that he used anthrax to guide the CDC to close the hospital at the beginning, which attracted attention.

But both of them are silently using the illness to cover him up and kill him.

Staphylococci are inherently common, especially in an environment like a MERS event, which is not a cause for concern.

"Twice risking to do it to the prosecutor, what did Kim Ji-gyu find out that could make the military so afraid?"
