The residents of the town surrounded the hospital all day and night, and the next morning, the Doman government forces entered Mancador, along with Kent Blair.
"Mr. Blair."
"Mr. Blair."
Kent walked quickly into the hospital under the escort of Doman government troops. The medical staff of the medical team were a little excited when they saw Kent.
Kent is the leadership of Merck & Co., and he is also a prominent figure in the American medical academia.
Kent's face is not good-looking, and he barely maintains a smile on the surface. Seeing Li Zheng, the pace under his feet quickened even more.
"Li." He stepped forward and hugged Li Zheng before pulling him closer to the nearest empty room.
"It's bad," Kent said straight to the point.
"I received your call for help yesterday evening. Washington and the United Nations Building pressured Doman at the same time. The Doman government troops rushed to Mankato last night. But not far from Mankato, they met the opposition. Armed, there was a small-scale armed conflict between the two sides.”
Li Zheng and Liang Zhe looked at each other, as expected. The ghosts believe that this is just a coincidence.
"The townspeople have been dispersed, but this matter will not end so easily. The United Nations forces in Doman have issued a Doman War alert to headquarters, and we have reason to suspect that this was a purposeful attempt by the Doman opposition. Provocation, I hope to use this to start a war in Doman again." Kent said seriously.
Seeing Li Zheng looking at him, Kent touched his nose embarrassedly, "These are the original words of the UN strategic analyst, I'm just repeating them."
Li Zheng's knuckles bent slightly as he tapped the table.
"In other words, if this war really breaks out, we will become the so-called fuse of the war?" He sneered on his face, and his mood was indescribably bad.
War fuse.
As long as this name is put on, it is a lifetime thing. It's terrifying, he understands the meaning of this sentence too well.
And the current state of China is not the state of China thirty years from now. Li Zheng had a hunch that if this title was fulfilled, it would become the biggest obstacle for him to return to China.
Li Zheng stood up and walked to the window, his eyes fell on the Doman soldiers guarding with guns and live ammunition outside the hospital through the glass. This war must not break out, absolutely not.
Kent hadn't thought of this, but after hearing Li Zheng's words, his face was a little unsightly.
"Lee, I think we have to leave now, before the war begins."
Li Zheng shook his head, "Kent, the opposition needs a fair reason to start a war. The Doman government succumbed to the hegemony of a great power and supported foreign medical teams to conduct human experiments on its own people. Is there a better reason than this?"
"I can't afford this crime."
Human experiments, these four words are almost taboo in the biological world. It is true that Li Zheng already has a place in the world biological circle, but his foothold is still uncertain. If these four words are stained, his life will almost be ruined.
Kent's face also became serious. As a member of the biological circle, he understood the meaning of being stained with these four words.
"Damn, you are obviously helping them to develop drugs!" Kent paced the room anxiously.
"Boom" cannonballs sounded.
The composite board of the hospital trembled heavily, and the temporary equipment bungalow next to it even collapsed.
"Oh shit. Has the war started?" Kent slammed the door open and ran out.
"General, what's going on? Doman clearly promised to let us leave safely." There were two big men in military uniforms standing in the corridor, and Kent yelled at one of them.
The Doman, known as the general, gave everyone a cold look, "The United Nations garrison has withdrawn from Doman half an hour ago. They gave up on us and also on you."
"Damn, those goddamn cowards." Kent jumped with anger.
A group of medical staff had already panicked, cursing how the United Nations sent them to this place.
The sound of artillery fire kept ringing in his ears, and Li Zheng's body trembled slightly. It was the first time in his two lifetimes that he felt that the war was so close to him.
Liang Zhe stepped forward and held his hand, a worried look on his normally expressionless face.
Li Zheng's heart warmed, and the anger and panic in his heart also dissipated a lot.
The Doman army seemed to use the hospital as a temporary combat command center, with soldiers running back and forth, the constant ringing of phones, and the angry roar of the commander.
"What about the reinforcements? Damn, what are they doing in the Air Force? Didn't they see that the enemy's tanks were approaching our defense line?"
"General, general, those townspeople of Mankato..." The soldier had just finished speaking when everyone saw the scene outside the window.
Countless townspeople rushed in like ants, but they were blocked by bullets that landed in front of them.
"Stop, can't go forward."
shouted the Doman soldier.
"Let us go, please let us go. Tanks, tanks are behind!"
Li Zheng saw Barry's mother and his sister in the crowd. The mother's empty eyes were filled with fear and panic. She tightly protected her daughter in front of her and kept pushing forward.
"It's them? Give the opposition an excuse to start a war?" The general walked to the window and said coldly.
There were physical clashes between townspeople and Doman government forces.
"General, those people are infected with the Dok virus." Someone said in the ear of the black general.
The black general's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "The entire army retreats and builds railings. They cannot be allowed to approach."
Li Zheng's hand turning the watch strap tightened slightly. Behind those people is the tank army of the opposition. If the group of tanks rushed forward regardless...
"Are you crazy? Those are civilians!" Kent looked at the black general in disbelief.
"Yes, so instead of ordering the shooting, I blocked them from advancing. I am a soldier and I must be responsible for the safety of my soldiers."
Doman's soldiers received the order and immediately moved wooden railings to block the townspeople's way.
"Please, let's go in."
"Uncle, please."
"Brother, I beg you."
The whining sounded instantly.
Li Zheng's hand tightly held the railing in front of the window, and Liang Zhe could even clearly see the exposed blue veins on the back of his hand.
Liang Zhe had already contacted the top leaders of the Dorman opposition through Butler Fang, and proposed to use the funds in exchange for the withdrawal of the troops, and the other party agreed. But looking at what it looks like today, it is clear that there are different voices within the opposition.
"Let them in." Li Zheng said suddenly, he turned his head and looked directly at the black general.
"What?" The general looked up and down at Li Zheng sarcastically. He seemed to realize something, and slowly suppressed the arrogant expression on his face, "Are you the inventor of the drug betadine?"
Li Zheng nodded.
The general's face softened a little, "Even so, I still have to be responsible for the safety of my soldiers. After all, there is no cure for the Dok virus."
Li Zheng rubbed the watch strap on his wrist, his eyelids lowered, making it difficult to see his emotions.
"Then from now on, there is a cure for Dok virus."
Li Zheng's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone in the corridor.
The running soldier stopped, and the liaison who was talking on the phone closed his mouth. Everyone in the corridor seemed to have been pressed the pause button all of a sudden, and it was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of everyone could be heard.
"You... what did you say?" General Doman, who rarely changed color even when the army was under pressure, was so nervous that he stuttered a little, for fear that he had heard it wrong.
"I said that the war will only interfere with my experimental process. It's too noisy outside." He paused and continued: "I think, whether it's the government army or the opposition, you are the people of Doman, and you should all want to contain Drugs for Dok virus will be available as soon as possible."
General Doman stared at Li Zheng without blinking. He pointed out the window and said solemnly, "Mr. Li Zheng, did you hear the gunfire outside? Do you know what your words mean? If If I publish your words, this war may be stopped immediately. But again, if you don't have the medicine to curb the virus for a long time, the credibility of our Doman government will be greatly damaged, and the war will not only return but also more tragic."
"So I need a time, an exact time."
Li Zheng pursed his lips, "Half a year, I will definitely take out the medicine in half a year."
"Half a year?" General Dorman's brows furrowed tightly. "It's too long, they can't accept it." Naturally, they were referring to the armed opposition.
"And, I think you should know that you can't leave Dorman until the drug is available and you know it's working."
"You are kidnapping! Li is a citizen of China, and he is also the wealth of the global biological community. You cannot restrict his personal freedom!" Kent said with a sullen face.
"Bang." The bullet was embedded on the table next to Kent. General Dorman slowly put down the gun in his hand. He didn't even look at Kent, but turned to look at Li Zheng with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Li Zheng, what do you think?"
Li Zheng held Liang Zhe's shoulder and took a deep look at the general, "Okay, then three months. I will stay here for three months. So, can you let them in? They are me. subjects of the experiment.”
"Okay!" General Dorman laughed. He turned to his subordinates and said, "Let that group of people in. And the liaison officer will immediately contact the President's Office. I think we will announce this good news to the people of the country soon."
"Our Doman government, through countless efforts and experts invited from the United Nations, has developed a drug to contain Dok virus!"
