"How is the situation outside now?" Hu Jie asked the Yan Kingdom soldiers guarding the door.
She is a member of the rescue team sent to Lucia by the Yan Kingdom. She has been working with the medical staff on Lucia's side to analyze the virus strains collected this time at a medical research institution in Lucia's capital, hoping to The vaccine is made.
However, the preparation of vaccines is a very cumbersome and time-consuming matter. Although medical researchers from both countries are doing their best, the progress of the research is not fast.
So much so that when the riots occurred, they had just completed the attenuation of the virus strain.
This also resulted in them being trapped inside the medical research facility along with Lucia's medical researchers.
Fortunately, this research institution was built in the Suvian era and has good defensive capabilities. After Lucia's soldiers responsible for defending the research institution closed several main entrances, the place was temporarily cut off from the outside world. After contact, the rioters did not have the ability to break through the defense in a short period of time.
But although they were temporarily safe, they were actually trapped after cutting off contact with the outside world.
People from outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out either.
Although there are certain supplies stored in this research institution, these supplies are only enough to sustain everyone for less than a week and cannot last for long.
"It's still very chaotic outside, and the rioters are still trying to break through our defenses." The Yanguo soldiers guarding the door said to Hu Jie, with a stern expression on their faces, but they still comforted her: "Doctor Hu, you You'd better go inside, we'll be here to guard you, nothing will happen."
In addition to a few Yanguo soldiers brought by the rescue team, the main ones at the door were Lucia's soldiers.
Compared with the soldiers from the Yan Kingdom brought by the rescue team, Lucia's soldiers stationed here are much larger in number, and they are basically doing the defense work. Because the soldiers from the Yan Kingdom are smaller in number, they are just Some help was provided.
But if you look at the equipment of the two, the equipment of Yanguo's soldiers is far better than that of Lucia's soldiers.
Lucia sent a special forces unit to protect the research facility, and their soldiers wore special polar cold-weather suits.
This is polar combat clothing that is only equipped in high-latitude countries like Lucia. It has quite good cold protection capabilities.
However, compared with the protective clothing and exoskeletons worn by Yanguo soldiers, this kind of cold-proof clothing specially used for polar operations seems to be behind the times.
The cold-proof clothing of the Lucians is made of special fabrics, which can provide good cold protection, waterproof and a certain degree of anti-cut effect. As a combat uniform, it is very good, but it is just a set of clothes.
Compared with the protective suits worn by Yanguo soldiers with a series of functions such as automatic heating, life monitoring, three defenses, air filtration, etc., there is a huge gap between the two just in appearance.
Not to mention that the Yanguo soldiers who came this time were equipped with the latest models of military exoskeletons and electromagnetic rifles.
This kind of equipment that looks like a sci-fi movie makes Lucians envious. As a soldier, who doesn’t want to own a piece of equipment that looks very reliable and cool at the same time?
However, even though they were equipped with such powerful equipment, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were still unsure of how to protect the members of the rescue team from evacuating the scientific research institution, breaking through the siege of the rioters outside, and returning to the Ark.
Even with the cooperation of the Lucians, they found this difficult.
On the one hand, this is because scientific research institutions are located underground, and several major exits are also located underground. Although there are no exits on the ground, the snow that is more than ten or twenty meters deep has already blocked the exits. If you want to go there, it is better to hit the ground directly. How much easier it is to get out.
If you want to go out, in addition to the siege of the rioters, there are basically underground passages outside, which is also a major restriction, which greatly restricts the soldiers' movements.
After all, underground passages are much easier to block than surface passages, and any obstacle can be completely blocked.
So now, no matter whether it is Yanguo's soldiers or Lucia's soldiers, all they can do is to defend this research institution, ask for help from outside, and then wait for reinforcements to arrive before breaking out.
Hu Jie naturally knew about this situation. In fact, as soon as the rioters were discovered, Lucia's soldiers sealed off the research institution with the help of the Yan Kingdom soldiers, and at the same time sent a distress message to Lucia's officials.
However, Lucia's officials are now in trouble. The available troops in the capital are short of manpower due to the epidemic. Troops must be mobilized from military bases outside the capital to enter the capital for reinforcements.
And this takes time.
According to the official reply given by Lucia, epidemic infections have also occurred in military bases outside the capital. Although reinforcements can be sent, it will take at least three to five days for the reinforcements to enter the capital, suppress the riots, and then rescue them.
For those trapped in the scientific research institution, it is still possible to persist for such a long time. Although there are not many supplies in the scientific research institution, there is still no problem in supporting them for three to five days.
However, although everyone said nothing, they were worried about whether Lucia's officials could quell the riot, and whether reinforcements would really arrive in three to five days.
If it were before the disaster, no one would worry about such a problem.
After all, Lucia is still a big country no matter how declining it is, and it is still one of the top five powers in Blue Star. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, it is not possible to say that the hostages have been trapped for three to five days without even being rescued.
But in this situation, how much power Lucia's officials can mobilize is really a questionable question.
Especially when Lucia faced epidemic infections caused by the spread of ancient viruses, it had already used a lot of manpower, causing many people to become infected, which greatly weakened the manpower that Lucia officials could use.
The people trapped in the research institution are all medical personnel, and they understand these situations very clearly, which naturally casts a shadow on their hearts.
And another worrying issue is the disease itself.
This ancient virus has mutated to a certain extent after it spread, allowing it to spread rapidly among the population.
Lucia officials previously ordered the closure of all shelters. Although the virus spread rapidly in a certain shelter, overall it was said that it still blocked the spread of the virus to a certain extent.
But now, everyone is caught up in the riots, and most of those who have the strength to participate in the riots are the only healthy people and some mild patients who are not seriously infected.
Under such circumstances, the epidemic infection will definitely break out. Even if Lucia's officials can suppress the riots, how will the subsequent epidemic problem be solved?
