The huge sun is in the sky, and the scorching sun is hitting the top.

Everyone looked out the window and saw a dozen combat intelligence vehicles flying past in formation, cutting through the clouds and fog, and soaring into the sky.

Fan Tong opened his mouth and said, "What is going on? The formation is a bit scary."

Hu Luqing said in surprise: "Are you listening to the public network radio? All channels in our city are broadcasting warnings!"

"Attention all citizens, due to the occurrence of mutated influenza epidemics in many places in our city, citizens are asked to avoid going out. From now on, all schools will be suspended immediately, all units will be on vacation immediately, and all business places will be closed immediately.

Influenza is mostly spread through droplets and contact. All those who still need to go out should take protective measures, wear masks, and avoid abnormal contact. In case of any emergency, you can call the emergency number. "

Several people turned on the public network radio in the cloud machine to listen.

After hearing this, Fan Tong shouted: "Did I hear it correctly? These people are like this, and they tell me that they have the flu? They are just teasing me, I am not stupid."

"Brother, is that true?" Ye Xue asked. Ye Yuanfeng was the embodiment of wisdom in Ye Xue's eyes.

Ye Yuanfeng frowned and said, "It would be possible if the official diagnosis is influenza."

"A great scientist, right?" Fan Tong was not only confused when he heard what Ye Yuanfeng said.

Ye Yuanfeng replied: "In fact, people infected with the influenza virus are more willing and more active to attend parties or go to crowded places in the 48 hours before they become ill."

He continued: "These infected people are willing to talk more and have more contact with people. This behavior is called fission infection transmission behavior."

Qiao Yimeng asked: "Is that what the virus controlled their thinking?"

Ye Yuanfeng replied: "So far, no research has shown that viruses can control people's behavior. At most, they can be influenced. Of course, this type of behavior is related to virus infection."

"I understand. People bitten by dogs are afraid of water. Is it because the virus affects the infected people not to touch the water?" Hu Luqing, who studied marketing and knew nothing about biology, casually interjected.

Ye Yuanfeng explained: “Rabies virus is a more deadly acute infectious virus that can destroy the medulla oblongata of the human brain stem center.

Most people are bitten by sick animals and are infected with mucosal contamination. Most people die from respiratory muscle paralysis and failure. The fatality rate is too high and there is a lack of effective treatments. "

Several people listened attentively.

Ye Yuanfeng paused and then said: "The disease behavior of infected people is more like the choice of selfish genes."

Qiao Yimeng asked: "What do you mean?"

Ye Yuanfeng answered: "What will happen if this highly lethal infectious virus spreads on a large scale and the infected people can neither heal themselves nor be treated?"

Fan Tong smiled and said: "That person will all be dead."

Ye Yuanfeng nodded: "In order to prevent infected individuals from continuing to infect, we chose to make infected individuals fear water, wind and other things.

And staying away from water and wind to reduce transmission is not like the choice the virus makes to spread and reproduce itself. "After Ye Yuanfeng finished speaking, he was thinking about something.

Fan Tong suddenly realized: "I'll go. If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Ye Yuanfeng said: “However, rabies is completely preventable by reducing contact with seemingly healthy dogs. Even if you are accidentally infected, the incubation period is usually five days to several months.

The vaccine starts within 24 hours. It used to be a five-shot method, but now the jellyfish vaccine cluster only requires one shot. "When I mentioned Ye Yuanfeng from Jellyfish Company, I suddenly had mixed feelings in my heart.

Hu Luqing asked: "Oh, that's it. So what might happen this time?"

Ye Yuanfeng thought for a while and said: "If the abnormal behavior of these people we encountered is caused by being infected with a certain influenza virus, their current special contact behavior will be different.

It may also be the fission propagation behavior before the onset of the disease. That is, the behavior that occurs during the incubation period of the virus. "Ye Yuanfeng speculated.

Fan Tong couldn't help but said in surprise: "What? These people are like this and haven't gotten sick yet? Then they can still get sick if they get sick!"

"Yuanfeng," Qiao Yimeng said while looking at a few more people, "Have you read the public forum? Netizens posted a lot of pictures and videos on it. It's quite scary. I feel like the matter is very serious."

Everyone turned to the public forum on the cloud machine, and everyone was browsing the overwhelming related news.

There has already been an uproar on local forums on the public Internet. The chaotic places where pictures and videos were exposed include not only the normal school attached to Ye Xue, but also the central shopping mall where Fan Tong went before, as well as some crowded places.

"It's over! My aunt said she would pick me up at school after school at noon." Ye Xue suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but blush while looking at the pictures and videos of the chaotic scene of the Normal Elementary School on the forum.

Because Ye Xue is temporarily staying at her aunt's house, her aunt has one more task to take care of Ye Xue's daily life.

"What, my mother is in the primary school attached to the Normal University?" Yuan Jie, who had just gotten in the car to find a few people, was shocked when he heard this.

Yuan Jie originally thought that his mother was still working in the municipal building and would have lunch and lunch there. It had extremely high-level security measures and should be safe, so he had not contacted her yet.

"Ah, your mother. Where did we just go from..." Qiao Yimeng didn't dare to say anything further. Ye Yuanfeng frowned and said nothing, and quickly called Aunt Ye Xue, but no one answered.

Yuan Jie quickly called the headquarters: "Call the headquarters, how is the situation at the Normal Elementary School?"

He felt a little relieved when he learned that the place was completely under control and there were no casualties. He then asked, "Has everyone's face been recognized? Is there a middle-aged woman named Su Wei?"

Several people saw his solemn expression and did not dare to say anything. They waited until he was disconnected before asking how the situation was.

Yuan Jie said: "The situation has been controlled and everyone has been sent to the Military General Hospital. My mother is also there."

The hour hand goes back to one hour ago.

It is said that Su Wei was among the crowd of parents waiting for students to get out of school, and she was chatting at the school gate with her colleagues who were also public officials and had also come to pick up their children.

However, she suddenly heard loud shouting, and the crowd of parents who were standing loosely were blocked by a crowd of infected people rushing towards them.

The parents said they were thugs, the able-bodied ones still resisted, and the timid ones were already frightened and fled in all directions. When Su Wei and her colleagues saw something strange, they were frightened and ran towards the school with the panickers.

She called Yuan Yong while running, but no one answered. She called Yuan Jie again, but she was on the phone and was about to leave a message for the two of them.

Su Wei suddenly saw a smart RV about to take off, and wanted to go forward to ask for help, but she didn't expect that a group of teachers and students rushed out of the teaching building and were already approaching quickly.

How could a female prostitute be able to withstand such a large number of people? She was hugged by several people who rushed towards her and was unable to resist.
