Chapter 218 The Virus Spreads Again
Half an hour later.
To the east of Jianghe City, deep in the water.
The temporary headquarters of Xuefeng Mercenary Group.
Cruise ship captain interior.
"An armored battalion was completely wiped out."
"There is also a tactical team infected with an unknown virus."
Lan Yu's good mood that lasted for a whole night due to a smooth start was completely destroyed by receiving two bad news in a row.
For the time being, I didn't bother to check the details of the armored battalion's total annihilation.
He first focused on the infection.
"Has the infection spread?"
"The No. 7 transport ship where the tactical team is located has been confirmed to be contaminated."
"Currently, the biochemical epidemic prevention force has gone to transport ship No. 7 for control."
"Based on their preliminary investigation."
"This virus may have come from a local plague that was previously circulating."
Tong Ming quickly reported all the key points.
"It's only been ten minutes since they came back."
"This speed is too fast."
Lan Yu's brows suddenly furrowed.
Transport Ship No. 7 is no small boat.
It can completely pollute the entire transport ship in such a short period of time.
The contagiousness of this virus is simply appalling.
"What do you think of the epidemic prevention force?"
"Major He Liang, commander of the Epidemic Prevention Department, suggested."
"You can first try to extract serum from local residents to look for antibodies to the virus."
Tong Ming responded.
A plague broke out in Jianghe City not long ago and everyone was vaccinated.
It's easy to find out.
There are also clues to follow in dealing with it.
"Then start immediately."
"Also, until a vaccine is made."
"Order all troops operating outside to withdraw to their bases first."
"Then from now on, all places within the Corps will be controlled in accordance with epidemic management regulations."
Lan Yu pondered for a moment and chose a conservative approach.
Infection with an unknown virus is no small matter.
Even if it seems like the solution is within easy reach.
But until a truly effective vaccine is available.
He didn't dare to risk himself and the entire Xuefeng mercenary group.
Looting can be carried out at any time.
It doesn’t even matter if you give up.
But everyone has only one life.
The official No. 1 shelter in Jianghe City.
Large conference room.
In response to the invasion of the Xuefeng mercenary group.
This has been discussed here for a full two hours straight.
There is a clear gap in military strength between the two sides.
Minister-level figures from various departments of the shelter are at a loss to do anything about it.
After discussing it for a long time, no effective plan was proposed.
And just when the atmosphere fell into a stalemate.
A staff member hurriedly broke into the conference room.
Submitted a document to Shuang Chenfeng, the director of the Intelligence Department.
Shuangchenfeng glanced hastily, and his expression changed slightly.
He stood up.
He chose to project the information on the document onto the conference room screen.
"Guys, just a few minutes ago."
"The Xuefeng Mercenary Group has completely stopped its invasion of foreign countries."
"According to our intelligence personnel."
"It could be that some of them are infected with the rola virus."
News brought by Shuangchenfeng.
Not only did it not make everyone in the conference room breathe a sigh of relief.
Instead, more people's faces darkened.
"How could they be infected with the LoRa virus."
"Did the Barren Stone Shelter take action?"
A minister asked reflexively.
"Not them."
"It was a small shelter that evaded our initial joint search and secretly hid the virus."
"There is no one left in that small shelter now."
Shuangchenfeng's answer made the minister who asked the question feel depressed.
People are dead.
Now even if I want to hold him accountable, I can't.
He couldn't help but vented in a muffled voice.
"I told you so."
"The virus should have been unleashed on them last night."
"In the end, you are afraid of this and that."
"It's fine now."
"Let them be on guard, and don't try to kill them in one fell swoop."
"it's useless."
"It takes 15 minutes to 24 hours for the virus to become fatal in an open area after infection."
"And not everyone breaks out on the spot after being infected."
"It's likely that there will be a delay of two to three days before symptoms of infection appear."
"This time is enough for them to randomly recruit a local to extract the serum and make a vaccine."
"Or even without a vaccine, these times before they die."
"If you go crazy, it will be enough to cause unbearable losses to us."
Some people disagreed with the minister's statement.
Argued with him.
on the conference room.
For a moment, the crowd was noisy and became a bit chaotic.
Bai Ruian was sitting in the top position.
There was no stopping the quarrel.
Instead, he carefully read through the latest document that Shuangchenfeng had obtained.
Shortly afterwards.
He raised his head again and asked softly to the secretary beside him.
"Is there any reply from the federation?"
"not yet."
"All requests for instructions have gone unanswered."
"possible--"
The secretary hesitated to speak.
I didn't finish what I said next.
"There is no reply at this time, which is also an answer."
Bai Ruian sighed.
He closed the document in his hand and looked at the tablet computer placed on the conference table.
It shows the origin of Xuefeng Mercenary Group.
One night.
It was enough for the official shelter to investigate the other party's background information from the federal public database.
The so-called Xuefeng Mercenary Group.
In fact, it is stationed on Honshu Island in the east of Dongzhou, hundreds of miles away from the coastline.
A Marine Corps directly under the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Although its combat effectiveness is not top-notch among organizations of the same standard in the world.
But it is still a real regular army.
It has a complete mechanism to deal with various natural disasters.
It's not a virus, but the local police force here in Jianghe City, an enemy that can be easily eliminated.
I just don’t know why they crossed a distance of one or two thousand kilometers.
He ran to Jianghe City, which was already deep inland.
It stands to reason that the area of Honshu Island is more than 200,000 square kilometers.
There are many places with higher altitudes.
It will not be inundated by tsunamis and floods.
And the environment and various facilities there.
No matter what, it is better than a third-tier small city like Jianghe City.
Thought for a while.
Bai Ruian tapped the table with his fingers.
Demonstrates its own existence.
Awed by the majesty of the director, the conference room quickly became quiet.
Everyone began to calm down and listen to his speech.
"Let me say a few words."
"In any case, the Xuefeng Mercenary Group has temporarily shrunk due to the virus infection."
"This is our only chance."
“We have to get them out of the way until they have a vaccine.”
