John F. Kennedy International Airport, underground parking garage area C.
What was in front of everyone was a long wooden box, standing there, much taller than an average adult man.
Not only that, it is also carved with complex patterns, including skulls, patterns, and swords.
"What is this?"
"What's in it?"
Dr. Ivor asked, putting on his gloves.
Dr. Jim, who acted as the coordinator, shrugged and said helplessly: "It hasn't been opened yet."
"What does it say on the cargo manifest?"
"No record."
"This flight only transported golf clubs, rubber boats, mechanical parts, 40 generators, and 10,000 family planning supplies, but there were no boxes."
After asking questions twice in a row without getting the answer he wanted, Dr. Iver felt that this incident was much more difficult.
There is definitely an inevitable connection between a long box that was not on the cargo list and the two hundred and six dead passengers.
But can a box spread disease?
If this is the case, it would be too inconsistent with scientific knowledge.
As an infectious disease expert, Ive decided to open it and take a look.
On the side, Dr. Nora was looking back and forth around the wooden box. She had a strong intuition that this thing was weird and dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, Nora reminded in a low voice: “It looks a lot like a coffin, doesn’t it?”
"No."
"It is 2.7 meters high. Unless the deceased is a giant, there is no need for a coffin like this."
Dr. Iver walked to the front of the box, touched its mysterious and complex lines, and added: "It's very old, purely hand-carved."
At this moment, the image in front of the doctor was two skeleton men, holding sickles, as if they were guarding the door, or suppressing the unknown.
"Guys, come help!"
With no time to hesitate, Ivor shouted to the medical staff, because these people wore airtight chemical protective suits and did not have to worry about being infected by the mysterious virus.
Soon, the long wooden box fell down.
"Before this, we used a Geiger counter to test air samples, and the equipment showed that there was no problem with it." Fat Jim came over quickly, "But the Transportation Safety Board made it very clear that they do not want the CDC to touch any cargo."
Iver ignored the warning and said solemnly: "Open it."
"good."
Jim had anticipated this and jumped right into action.
The three doctors present, plus the airport director Bishop, worked together to open the wooden box.
The result was extremely strange.
It was full of dirt, soft and dark.
Nothing fancy.
But how could anyone transport a box of dirt from Berlin to New York?
Not to mention the time and effort, there is no official record, it is like it appeared out of thin air on a plane.
Moreover, with the appearance of this thing, disaster struck, and most of the passengers on the plane died mysteriously.
A series of coincidences come together, which makes people wonder whether there is any secret hidden in it.
"What is the possibility that a box that can accommodate three adults will be loaded onto the plane without being inspected or listed?" Nora looked up at the airport director.
Bishop tightened his brows and mouth, silently shaking his head.
It is absolutely impossible for such a large item to be loaded onto a plane and flown to the United States without going through security inspection, unless there are internal personnel to assist.
With this thought in mind, he took out his cell phone and called Berlin.
Fluent German rang out.
"Yes, a big wooden box, find out who sent that box...Listen, I don't care what time it is in Germany, call me back as soon as possible, do you understand?"
At the same time, Fat Jim was taking samples of the soil. In order to prevent omissions, Ivor specifically told him that the upper, middle and lower areas should not be left alone.
And the female doctor Nora noticed a detail. There was a door bolt inside the wooden box, no, inside the coffin.
Yes, it's inside.
Is it to prevent someone from breaking in from outside?
Before the plane crash, besides dirt, what was in this coffin?
For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
【Emergency News】
"There are many suspicions over John F. Kennedy International Airport tonight. The Port Authority and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are jointly involved in the investigation."
"Again, Regis Flight 735 has now experienced a large number of fatalities."
"Whether this disaster involves biological contamination is still under investigation..."
On the screen, a black female reporter is reporting news for the audience.
Lu Li, who was sitting in front of the computer, shook his bag of potato chips. Three hours had passed since his last blood test.
During this period, the four survivors always behaved normally, able to eat, drink, and even perform.
Among them, the female lawyer Joan Luce made the most violent noise. This old woman often said that she knew a certain congressman and a certain supervisor. She kept saying that the law protects citizens and asked for an appeal.
Lu Li could tell that this guy simply wanted to leave the quarantine area.
"I feel good……"
Soon, the annoying voice of the old crow came from the isolation cover.
A hint of impatience flashed in Lu Li's eyes, he turned his chair and said, "Madam, even a layman like me knows that there is an incubation period for the virus."
"I can take responsibility for my own actions."
Seeing someone talking to her, Ms. Joan Luce became even more enthusiastic. While patting the protective plastic, she said harshly: "If the quarantine is not lifted before tomorrow morning, I will sue you! The law..."
Frankly speaking, the medical staff standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Lawyer, do you need me to educate you on the law?"
"In accordance with the Health Powers Act, as long as two doctors agree, necessary coercive measures can be taken on the patient to avoid the spread of the virus."
"And Dr. Iver and Dr. Nora have already issued notices, and everything is in compliance with the law."
How could front-line personnel let them go when faced with such a major incident?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this country is rotten to the core.
Unfortunately, Ms. Joan Luce still selectively ignored this truth that even a ten-year-old child knew.
She raised her head, stared at the medical staff, and warned: "Are you going to be tough? I can make you all unemployed with just one phone call."
Frankly speaking, this arrogant attitude is definitely not worthy of being beaten, but it is also effective. Several medical staff immediately lowered their heads to do their work, appearing at a loss.
The limited edition clothes that Joan Luce wears all over her body make it clear that she is not short of money, and the profession of lawyer has a very high status and is an absolute elite.
However, this old crow can intimidate others, but he can't do anything to Lu Li. Ever since he lost his God's perspective, he has been troubled——
As long as I think about the unknown disaster that is about to break out, I can only passively accept it and try to deal with it at the first glance, and you can imagine how I feel.
"Old witch, do you know what I'm thinking?"
"As soon as someone violates the ban and steps out of the quarantine, the shooting starts."
After saying this, Lu Li opened the holster of his gun and put his hand on it. He was a private policeman with law enforcement powers.
