Imperfections

Chapter 73: Death never misses a prey

Views:

When the old factory came to the messy basement, it was quiet.

From the busy but chaotic Baiyin Jiu, to the wailing and wailing patients, they all seemed to have been immobilized. Only the red light of the medical cabin flashed relentlessly in the dark and airtight place.

Where did the rainbow virus, a man-made virus that has theoretically been killed, come from a variant? Is this accidental or man-made? What conspiracy is behind it? who is it-

Lin Jingheng had no time to think about these situational issues. Before he could react to what he was doing, he grabbed Lu Bixing next to him. Due to the glove and the special material isolation suit, he didn't grasp it first, and it slipped. The powerlessness of the glove slipping pierced through his temple like a laser gun, freezing the blood all over his body into ice.

What is the transmission method of the variant rainbow virus

What about pathogenicity and lethality

If the old antibodies have failed, what about Lu Bixing

Thousands of thoughts erupted in his mind, tossing and turning, none of which was a good thing.

Before Lu Bixing came back, he was already pressed by him next to a medical cabin.

- -

"Check" Lin Jingheng opened his mouth, but his voice cracked. He said almost incoherently, "Check if he has been infected."

The medical cabin replied calmly: "Invalid order."

Lin Jingheng's forehead blushed violently: "I asked you to check whether he has been infected with a variant rainbow virus!"

However, the medical cabin did not understand the joys and sorrows of human beings, and still replied to him without sorrow or joy: "Invalid order."

There is artificial intelligence in the medical cabin, but the intelligence is very limited - in this case, the correct operation method is to first ask the medical cabin to collect and record the information of the variant rainbow virus, and then use a more powerful computer to analyze the virus characteristics. Special viruses even require the manual participation of medical experts. After all the characteristics of the virus attack and damage mechanism are fully analyzed, the medical cabin can generate an effective virus detection method based on this information, save it into the database, and perform tasks.

But I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth, and how long will the incubation period of this variant rainbow virus be

is there time

Lin Jingheng had a slight tinnitus. Turan's voice was clearly coming from the earphones in the isolation suit, but it seemed that there was something in the distance: "General, General"

Lu Bixing held his shoulder: "Lin!"

Lin Jingheng raised a hand, and everyone was quiet. Seeing him sculpted for a moment, he spoke again, but he could no longer hear the unreasonable confusion about the medical cabin: "Elizabeth."

Turan: "Yes."

"First, notify the people who are guarding the outer circle of the factory that the quarantine area will be immediately dealt with in accordance with the highest-risk epidemic area of the alliance standard. All persons close to the factory must wear isolation clothing, enter and exit double-layer disinfection, and kill all animals in the nearby area - birds, insects , especially those who feed on carrion, I would rather kill them by mistake, don’t let them go, and the corpses are centralized and disinfected.”

"Second, there is a river nearby, send two teams to track the whereabouts of upstream and downstream water sources, closely monitor all surrounding animals, plants, and soil water quality, and enforce mandatory isolation within 72 hours. All people who have been in contact with water and soil Isolate and observe together. If it enters the groundwater system, I need the entire Galaxy City to be under martial law, cut off the water for three hours, and disinfect the whole.”

"Third, a patient once left the factory twice within forty-eight hours and entered a densely populated area in the core area of Galaxy City. Although the blockade has been blocked, the effect of traditional blockade on the mutant virus is not certain. You try your best to Quarantine everyone he's been in contact with."

Turan said the truth: "General, this is difficult."

Lu Bixing interjected: "This man's body is just outside the factory, you bring me the space field that he carried with him. There should be a record of his coordinates and positioning in the space field, with the time and place. I can hack into the Galaxy City intranet and search for it. Personal terminal information of people who have appeared within one kilometer of the patient at the same time period."

Lin Jingheng: "What do you need?"

Lu Bixing: "If the amount of data is large, I need a supercomputer."

"Okay," Lin Jingheng nodded immediately, "call Zhan Lu over."

Turan: "General, even so, we may not have enough manpower."

"Look for Saturday," Lu Bixing said. "If there are not enough staff, call the base and call the entire Self-Defense Force."

"Also," Lin Jingheng said, "Forcibly adjust the medical resources of the eighth galaxy, and prepare for a full-scale outbreak of the plague. Inspector Yu, are you sober? If you are not sober, let the medical cabin give you one."

Yu William has not come back from the bad news until now, when he was suddenly named, he subconsciously straightened his hunched shoulders.

"I need you to tell me the causes and consequences of your infection with the rainbow virus, all the details." Lin Jingheng said, then turned to Turan, "Leave the medical cabin, everyone is evacuated, keep in touch, and ensure that this old factory has energy for sending things. Artificial intelligence, people try not to go in and out. If the one-eyed eagle scolds me, he can scold me at will, but stop him and don't let him in."

Turan nodded, then remembered something, and asked again: "General, in an extreme situation, do you consider contacting the 'Centre'."

Lin Jingheng paused for two seconds, and said categorically, "No, go out and let Zhan Lu go as soon as possible."

Under the mask, Tulan's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a somewhat puzzled expression, but doubts turned into doubts. At this time, she didn't talk much, so she just retreated, and gave Lin Jingheng a quick salute. , the captain of the ninth guard waved his hand, and the silver nine soldiers in the basement quickly followed her.

Seeing that Lu Bixing was stunned: "She walked so simply, she didn't hold her head and cry, at least she should say two touching words of comfort, why are all the silver and ten guards in the same style as you?"

Lin Jingheng let out a long breath under the heavy isolation suit and mask. For a moment, he thought of Lu Bixing's hands that had been in contact with him several times, probably for the convenience of tinkering with the mecha, Lu Bixing's nails. He was very short, his fingers were beautiful, his palms were dry and warm, and the temperature was too high. He felt like a young man with strong firepower, so hot that he avoided it.

But at this moment, Lin Jingheng extremely wanted to shake that hand again.

Check the temperature of the palm again.

Lin Jingheng's always focused thoughts are like a swollen river, suddenly spreading over the embankment, stretching to infinity.

He thought, if he hadn't promised to let Lu Bixing come out, if he hadn't chosen to settle in Qixing, if he hadn't called Lu Bixing from the base of the underground channel, if he hadn't come to the eighth galaxy in the past, if he could have been more decisive, Don't be the first to kill the two ends, the rebels are more open and aboveboard, directly hold the silver fortress, and score Votto.

If all the cause and effect can be traced back, none of this happened, even if he was shattered to pieces and stinky for thousands of years, it would not matter.

But right now, this is all his wishful thinking.

"Are you afraid?" Lin Jingheng asked in a soft voice. He had probably never spoken in such a gentle tone in his life that he was almost out of tune.

"What's your problem?" Lu Bixing glanced at him and suddenly smiled. From the beginning, the atmosphere between the two of them was vaguely tense. At this time, his smile was washed away, and he used that kind of incongruous expression. The tone said, "If I say I'm not afraid, then I may be either mentally retarded or emotionally retarded. But if I say I'm afraid, wouldn't that be very shameful? A man's face cannot be swept away in front of his sweetheart, General, are you on purpose? I haven't asked you yet, are you afraid?"

Lin Jingheng thought, "The liver and gallbladder are torn apart."

However, he didn't say anything, resumed his normal tone of business, and asked, "How are you in terms of biochemistry?"

"No, I'm sorry," Lu Bixing was full of "face" just now, admitting his shortcomings but not shy, "If it's a biochip, I can help analyze it, but the virus is really just common sense, not independent scientific research. ability, let alone such a complex project as the rainbow virus.”

Lin Jingheng nodded, and didn't have much expectations for him. Lu Bixing was obviously more interested in artificial intelligence than in humans. Computer viruses could find him, and human viruses were probably not much better than himself.

"Then you make a record for me." Lin Jingheng didn't look at Lu Bixing, gave an order, and went straight to Inspector Yu.

The commander-in-chief couldn't count on it. He looked like he was out of breath. He was lying in the medical cabin in a semi-conscious state. He didn't know if he had heard the worst news.

Yu William seemed to have exhausted his strength, staggered and fell on the edge of a dirty folding bed, watching Lin Jingheng stunned for a moment, covering his face with force.

"Variant," he said tossingly, "how can it be if blocking really doesn't work, what's the point of Webster dying like this, he's still for us"

"Who is Webster?" Lu Bixing asked softly, "Is it the one who died in the space field?"

Yu William let out a sob.

"He didn't die in vain." Lu Bi walked over and sat down beside him, "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have chased after you, and we wouldn't have found you. The mutant virus spreads without anyone knowing. This is the most important thing. Terrible."

The isolation suit for viruses of the "Rainbow" level is too solemn, which greatly affects the movement. Lu Bixing folded several times, but his knees can't bend down. He just sits with his legs stretched out like a zombie. I took off the clothes, and I was afraid that if I didn't get infected, because I would take off the isolation clothes, but I got infected, it would be funny.

"In case" is not infected

Lu Bixing felt his words in his heart, and felt that his legs were a little soft, so he simply found a comfortable position and leaned against the wall regardless of his image. He looked at Lin Jingheng, but Lin Jingheng was wrapped in another isolation suit, and he couldn't even see the outline. He was full of greed and eagerness, but he could only glimpse a little brow from under the mask, but he couldn't see sadness or joy.

Lin Jingheng walked up to Yu William and said impersonally, "Are you going to cherish the dead by creating more dead people?"

Yu William fought a cold war, looked up at a loss, and met the cold gray eyes behind the isolation mask. This man who was flammable, explosive, and manic under the influence of the virus actually forced himself to calm down.

He was silent for a while, his voice still trembling: "We all know that we have been infected, so be very careful, there are not many 'blockers', except for Webster, who should have no contact with others."

"When Prince Gloria's guards invaded, I was carrying out the escort mission for the chief." William Yu paused and said again, "It was just the time when the Alliance Council convened representatives of various star systems to go to Votto for a meeting. It was too late when the notice of the meeting schedule arrived, leaving us no time to prepare for the travel expenses. Second, everyone knows that the theme of this debate is probably the military autonomy of the galaxy, which has nothing to do with us. The chief does not want to watch the live broadcast of the meeting on Gloria Star. , So we temporarily organized a galaxy inspection, because there were problems with the thermostatic systems of many planets, and it would kill people if we dragged them down. We wanted to solve this problem, but not long after we left Gloria, we ran into the guard of Prince Gloria. .We used a starship on official patrol. There were only four or five escort mechas. They were chased by Prince Gloria's mad dogs. I was the only one of the five mechas left. The starship's protective cover was broken. They abandoned the starship, concentrated everyone on the mecha, made an emergency jump, and made a forced landing on the third Emma of Qiwei."

"Before the war, the three satellites of Venus were all working satellites, and there were only a small number of staff on them," Lu Bixing said. "The three Emma of Qiwei should happen to be the starship supply and maintenance point, right?"

Yu William smiled bitterly: "Before we landed, we also thought we were lucky, but the starship didn't stop and was blocked by someone. It should be someone from the Anti-Ukrainian Society who caught us. I don't think they were targeting the commander-in-chief. Everyone knows that in the eighth galaxy, the energy of the commander may not be as good as that of the arms dealer on the star of Gloria. At that time, because of the rampage of the guard of Prince Gloria, many starships, merchant ships and passenger ships were docked at Emma to avoid the limelight, and they all waited by the sidelines. caught."

"We were together at the time, and there were still more than 20 colleagues left. They were taken away by them and locked in a closed laboratory. One laboratory is very spacious, and there are about a hundred people in it. I guess it is based on age and age. Gender is divided, because our female colleagues and a retired veteran were all taken to other places. The place we are closed is only adult men under the age of 220, and food and drinking water are scheduled from one side to the other. It was sent out of the wall, and at first some people imagined that they could escape from there, but our engineering director said that this is called a 'vacuum pipeline', and no one can escape."

Lu Bixing explained softly: "The 'Vacuum Tube' is the masterpiece of Reinburg - the infamous human laboratory of Prince Gloria."

Lin Jingheng asked, "You mean that the Anti-Ukraine Society rebuilt a 'Rinburg' in Emma. Are you sure it was the Anti-Ukrainian Society, not Aresvon who did it in private?"

A cult that opposes technology, advocates nature, and wants to return to primitive society, actually conducts human virus experiments

Why? what is the benefit

"On the outer layer of the laboratory building is the logo of the Anti-Ukrainian Society. There is no pirate flag of Prince Gloria's Guard. When those who caught us greeted each other, they would say something about the Anti-Ukrainian Society, something like 'for nature'." Yu William paused, "Yes, there is a small pattern next to the Anti-Ukraine Association logo. It should be a woman with a human head and a snake body."

Lin Jingheng raised her head abruptly—human head and snake body, Nuwa!

"Someone was taken away on the first day and brought back three hours later. He was in a coma. The chief brought a health doctor with him and checked his body. He said that there was no abnormality. At that time, the doctor judged that he may have just been injected. The sedative, the man woke up an hour later and acted as usual. He said that he was anesthetized as soon as he went out. He didn't know what happened, and there was nothing wrong with his body, but to be on the safe side, the doctor still suggested that we make a small space , isolated him alone, and the health care doctor organized us to save the alcoholic beverages in dinner every day, simply purify it and use it as a disinfectant, and sprinkle it around him." Yu William took a breath, "but about a day later, he began to Fever, muscle weakness, symptoms of rainbow virus."

Lin Jingheng and Lu Bixing looked at each other - the incubation period of the mutant virus is still 24 hours, and the health care doctor beside the eighth galaxy commander could not detect it, indicating that the symptoms of the mutant virus are highly consistent with the original version, at least it can hide from professionals .

Lin Jingheng: "What is the transmission route?"

"It should be air," said William Yu. "With a health care doctor, we have been very careful from the beginning, and we have not touched the patient's things."

Lin Jingheng's heart sank.

"From the second day onwards, the virus spread among all people. The people who took refuge on Emma were all interstellar travelers. Only a small number of people were eligible to ride on comfortable starships. Most of them were merchant ships, and even mechas, all of them body Strong and strong young adults, at the beginning, everyone was desperate while holding on to luck, feeling that with their own immunity, maybe as long as they were careful enough, they could handle it."

But death never misses a prey.
