In the scientific research base, Xu Zhou took the rare time to prepare a breakfast for himself.
At this time, he was sitting at the dining table, reading the news in one hand and eating a steamed bun in the other.
Since the Dragon Kingdom's space-based weapons were launched into the sky, or after the last live broadcast experiment with a world-destroying attack, the international situation seems to have become much more stable.
For example, the war between Pakistan and Israel has continued to rage.
It is said that Israel made a statement overnight that the armistice period will continue to be extended and that both sides need a time to calm down.
You know, when many countries called for a ceasefire, Israel scoffed. The United States did not say anything, so they continued to attack.
Now that the Dragon Kingdom's sky-based weapons were released, they immediately retreated.
There is also Sakura Country, which has been clamoring online for the amount of compensation Dragon Country should pay for seven submarines, but now it has stopped talking.
Not only did they not say anything, some media outlets recently promoted the development direction of Longguo Sakura as a good partner. Such voices seemed to be expressing something.
On the American side, the previous negotiations on nuclear submarines also changed from the initial compensation plus refund to the one where the United States is willing to provide a certain amount of compensation as long as the Dragon Kingdom is willing to refund.
After the events in the Middle East ended, all countries began to crazily collect dragon coins again.
Because in the current oil settlement channel, if you have enough Dragon Coins, it means that you can get more advantages.
As for the rice dollar, haha, sorry, it has basically completely withdrawn from the settlement system.
All the above signs are conveying a message to various countries in the world that the Dragon Kingdom is gradually moving towards the world's number one throne.
As for the United States, it depends on the subsequent chemical reaction with the Dragon Kingdom. Whether it will gradually cooperate or completely deteriorate, nothing is known.
Xu Zhou quickly finished the buns in the bowl, drank the soy milk, cleaned it up, and prepared to go to the laboratory.
While walking on the road, Xu Zhou found that most of the staff in the hospital were wearing masks. This was not a laboratory, and generally no one was willing to wear them, which made him curious.
"Hello, Academician Xu."
When someone greeted someone politely, Xu Zhou smiled and nodded.
Looking at the girl wearing a mask in front of him, he asked a lot:
"What's wrong with everyone lately? Why are you wearing masks so tightly? Is the flu here?"
"Academician Xu, you probably haven't paid much attention to the news. It is said that some mysterious viruses have appeared in Asia, and those infected are almost certain to die. Recently, it has spread to the border area between Xian Kingdom and our Dragon Kingdom. Didn't we take precautions early!"
Xu Zhou raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Virus...infected people will die?"
"We are not sure yet, but a classmate of mine in a foreign pharmaceutical company told me that it is basically the same."
Then the girl looked at the time and said to Xu Zhou:
"Academician Xu, our check-in time is coming soon, so let's not talk anymore."
"Well, go ahead, don't run, don't fall. If you're late, mention my name and you'll be exempted from attendance."
Xu Zhou, who continued to walk towards the laboratory, kept his brows widened and was thinking about it in his mind.
"I'm just saying that after the roulette wheel was played last night, a genetic medicine was prescribed... Is it really because a large-scale virus is about to break out?"
Xu Zhou remembered that in the past, his skills in driving roulette seemed to be available immediately or in the near future.
For example, exoskeleton mechas, or ocean current controllers.
These things basically come in handy not long after they are obtained.
It seems this time is no exception.
Moreover, the system will not prepare for unimportant things in the future. In other words, this time the virus will definitely affect countries around the world and the country.
"It seems that we should not be careless. This virus is probably not a simple matter."
Back in the laboratory, Xu Zhou was going to hurry up and get the medicine out. Of course, if the research was done well, he could vaccinate the entire country after mass production. In this way, no matter how lethal the virus was, Long Country would be able to guarantee that no big trouble would happen.
Just after he sat down in his office seat, Xu Zhou received a video call from Liu Zhongmin.
After I got through, I found that there were quite a few people on the other side.
"Xiao Xu, we have an impromptu meeting here, and I wanted to remind you. Just listen to the video."
Xu Zhou nodded and said:
"Okay, I'm listening, Dean, please continue."
Liu Zhongmin nodded and continued:
"The whole of Asia is now under great pressure, especially in several countries near our Dragon Kingdom, where cases have begun to appear one after another."
"The first case of cherry blossoms appeared in China three days ago. A man named Kuro Miyahiko became ill at home and attacked his family's pet cat and his fiancée Sachiko Kawamoshi."
"The second case is the fiancee of the first case, Sachiko Kawamo. Sachiko Kawamo did not die immediately after being attacked. After rescue in the hospital, it was found that her vital signs were stable and she was transferred to the general ward."
"But he suddenly became ill the next night and attacked the nurse and the doctor who came to stop him without any warning."
"In this way, the local hospital fell into an epidemic area for the first time. Fortunately, according to the local announcement in Sakura Country, the closure was timely and there is no possibility of the infected people inside getting out. And they are also trying to find ways to complete the control work."
Everyone nodded and took notes seriously.
At this time Liu Zhongmin continued to open another document and said:
"Then cases appeared in the second area. This time it was in the northern part of the country of Korea, which is the closest border to our country of Long."
"The first case to appear was a local border guard. It was said that they found a strange box containing two broken glass bottles during their patrol. They felt strange and took it back to the camp to prepare for the attack. Report."
"Finally, on the second day, a large number of infected people appeared in the camp. In order to control it as soon as possible and avoid large-scale outbreaks caused by fleeing movements, Xianguo directly suppressed it with force."
"The specific situation has not yet been determined, and it is not certain whether it has successfully prevented the spread."
"But this time the outbreak is extremely close to our Dragon Kingdom border, so we have currently implemented isolation control on the soldiers at the border. All soldiers performing tasks must wear isolation suits."
After Liu Zhongmin finished speaking, he closed the document to indicate that he had finished the second part.
Then the third file opens.
"This time it's Bangzi Country. The location of their outbreak is more scattered. The core location is even in a hotel in the city. It is said that this hotel is the first hotel where the man stayed in Sakura Country."
"After that, there were also cases near the US military garrison, and they spread all the way to the north, until the junction of Xianguo and Bangziguo, and there were sporadic symptoms."
"At the same time, because it is not centralized enough, it is difficult for Bangzi Country to deal with the quarantine as quickly as the other two places. It is said that the most serious case has been that a village has been completely destroyed, and more than a thousand people have become infected. At the same time, there is the possibility of continuing to spread outwards. .”
"So the situation this time is very serious. It is not a joke. Please take it seriously."
At this time Xu Zhou finally found the opportunity to raise his hand and said:
"Everyone, Dean, I'm a little confused. What are you discussing?"
Liu Zhongmin was stunned for a moment, then patted his forehead:
"I'm busy and confused. Xiao Xu hasn't paid attention to the news recently?"
"I'm paying attention...but it's all about national situations and the like."
"Then have you heard about the deadly virus that has suddenly spread in Asia recently?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhou immediately remembered what he had just heard from the girl in the morning.
"I just heard about this. It is said that the fatality rate is extremely high?"
"No!"
Liu Zhongmin shook his head and said:
"It's not extremely high, it's certain death!"
"From all the cases so far, there is no surviving patient!"
Xu Zhou was shocked when he heard this. The probability of death and the extremely rapid incidence of illness...
"What is the route of transmission?"
Mentioning this, everyone on the other side of the video felt weird. Finally, Liu Zhongmin sighed and said:
"What is currently determined is that the initial stage should rely on the spread of the virus in a small area, and the middle and later stages should mainly rely on...biting!"
"What!"
Xu Zhou was shocked!
The way of transmission is biting!
"According to the information that has been received so far, once the patient is infected with this virus, the disease will be completed within 48 hours. After completion, all body functions will stop, leaving only the animal instinct to attack humans."
"And once a human being is attacked and injured, even after escaping, the disease will continue within 48 hours!"
"This is currently the main transmission route!"
Liu Zhongmin explained again with the same expression on his face.
Xu Zhou suddenly understood why everyone was so nervous!
After the other party explained it, a term suddenly appeared in his mind.
Isn't this thing just like the zombies in those disaster movies?
At least in terms of the irreversible transmission method of biting lesions...it can be said to be almost the same!
