"X, how many people are there in the Black Security Service and the Black Knights now?"
"There are seventy people in the Black Security Service and fifty Black Knights. Both departments are on duty."
"not enough."
Chen Chen shook his head and issued an order, "Let the mercenary employees of Terra Strategic Resources Company return to the headquarters. For the time being, all of them will be incorporated into the black security service department to work together to blockade the Life Sciences City."
"Then how should we block it?" Xiao X asked with some confusion.
"All defense personnel wear fully enclosed negative pressure protective clothing and set up separation walls at the entrance and exit of Life Sciences City. No one is allowed to enter the Life Sciences City unless I have permission. At the same time, all shops and hotels in the city are closed, and no one is allowed in the city. Moving around.”
Chen Chen thought for a while and suddenly realized something, "This epidemic will definitely cause a large number of refugees in Namibia. Many refugees will gather outside the isolation wall, and there may even be card rushes. If left unchecked, it will easily be detrimental to the company's image... "
So Chen Chen added again, "By the way, find a few engineering teams and let them build dozens of simple wards as quickly as possible outside the city. It doesn't need to be too particular, as long as they can be protected from wind and rain."
"clear!"
As Xiao X conveyed Chen Chen's orders one after another, Chen Chen picked up the phone and broadcast a number.
As the phone rang a few times, an old voice came over.
"Chen Chen, did you encounter any trouble over there?"
"Minister Gentina, you should ask what the trouble is over there."
Chen Chen left the laboratory while making a phone call and walked toward the elevator leading to the surface.
"What's the meaning?"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly dropped. As the Minister of Defense of Namibia, he had an air of majesty even across the phone.
However, Chen Chen was not afraid and just asked, "Doesn't Minister Gentina know about the ongoing epidemic in Windhoek?"
"Epidemic? Isn't that the responsibility of the Ministry of Health?"
Jintina's voice was a little stunned, as if she really didn't know.
Chen Chen sneered, "The Ministry of Health pretended to be confused and asked my company for help, but it didn't even tell us the real situation. Now there are more than 1,200 people infected with hemorrhagic fever in Windhoek, and the epidemic has spread as far as Thirty kilometers away, I was told that there were only 300 people, and they clearly wanted to use me as a swordsman."
"What, so many people are already infected in Windhoek?"
On the phone, Jintina's voice became even more surprised, "I really don't know this. If that's the case, there's no point in contacting me. I can't help you."
"No, you can help me a lot."
Chen Chen said, "It is foreseeable that this epidemic will be very serious in the future. I need a force to help me blockade my city to prevent the influx of refugees."
“…”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Of course, as a price, I can take in your family and the family members of the soldiers in the army."
Chen Chen added, "If their family members are infected, I can also treat them for free. Of course, whether they can be cured or not is not up to me."
"Will it really be serious?"
On the other end of the phone, Jintina's voice became dry.
Chen Chen suddenly laughed angrily, "Minister Jintina, the hemorrhagic fever virus is extremely contagious. Although the mortality rate has not yet been calculated because it is in the early stages of the outbreak, 30% of the infected people have lost their ability to live. These Add it all up, don’t you understand what kind of virus it is?”
"Could it be... Ebola?"
There was a gasp on the other end of the phone.
"Except for this virus, I can't think of any other virus that is both hemorrhagic fever and so lethal."
Chen Chen replied, "And I suspect that this virus may be a new subspecies. After all, it spreads so fast that it can be described as terrifying. My suggestion is to contact Congress immediately and ask the WHO for help. When other countries react, they will have to queue up if they want international rescue."
"Want to line up?"
Jintina was stunned for a moment, but then he completely understood that Chen Chen's subtext was that this infectious disease had also appeared in other countries.
Thinking of this, Jintina couldn't help but take a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "I understand, I will report your news to Congress. As for sending troops to seal the city, it is not something I can do immediately. I can only try my best. But I can send my wife and children to you now, please protect them, okay?"
"Don't worry, if the epidemic really goes out of control, I can guarantee that they will be the last batch of people to be infected."
With that said, Chen Chen hung up the phone.
Next, Chen Chen also called the Minister of Energy and Investment Zurama, as well as several ministers and congressmen who were more inclined to Chen Chen's side, and even the customs department of Walvis Bay Port was notified.
Hearing the group of people begin to beg him in a low voice, Chen Chen couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth.
Bringing the family members of these Namibian high-level officials to the city can not only reap a lot of favors, but also gain more benefits, and also make this group of people more concerned about the safety of the Life Sciences City.
This is Chen Chen's purpose.
After doing all this, Chen Chen still felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he raised his head again and said, "X, send a team of black knights to bring back two patients from the outbreak area. Pay attention to safety precautions."
"Understood, are you going to study this virus?" Little X asked curiously.
"Of course, this is an act of self-preservation."
Chen Chen explained while pacing, "After all, you have to understand that as the epidemic becomes more and more serious, the 'Level 4 Biosafety Laboratory' in the research center is the hope of the entire Africa, whether it is justice or international public opinion. It’s impossible for me to stay out of it.”
"In this case, instead of being forced to use the laboratory by the international WHO organization, it is better to take the initiative and maybe become a leader in the fight against the epidemic. It will be of great help to our company's image and international status!"
"Understood!"
Little
"very good."
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, if I remember correctly, North America and Central America developed an Ebola virus vaccine as early as 18 years ago. Go and check whether the vaccinated people are infected. This disease."
"yes."
Little
"Sure enough..."
Chen Chen frowned and analyzed, "Since the discovery of Ebola virus, a total of 4 subtypes have appeared, namely Zaire type, Sudan type, Reston type and Côte d'Ivoire type."
"Those who have been vaccinated are generally vaccinated against the Zaire and Sudanese types. However, in this outbreak, those who were vaccinated were still infected. It is obvious that the virus this time is not these two types."
"Actually, I should have thought of it earlier..."
Chen Chen nodded, "The Zaire and Sudanese viruses can only be transmitted through body fluids, and it is impossible to infect a hundred miles in radius within three days. However, the Reston virus, which can be transmitted through the air, is harmless to humans, and the symptoms It is also different from the remaining Ivorian type, so this plague cannot be any of the above four."
"So, is it really a new subspecies that is highly contagious?"
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's expression became even more serious, "According to the symptoms that people are experiencing in this epidemic, the death rate will increase rapidly in the next few days, and the fatality rate will never be less than 50%. If this epidemic leaves Africa, in The whole world explodes, then..."
