Chapter 412: Hongmei commits suicide in fear of crime
"Let's talk about the harvest this time."
Mr. Xu poured himself a cup of tea and laughed at himself. There were some things that even a superior like him couldn't figure out what was right or wrong.
The experimental equipment and some samples brought back from this mission were decoded and studied by our medical experts, confirming previous speculations that they were indeed synthetic viruses.
However, the root virus was not produced and extracted in my country, and there is no sequence combination of this virus among the viruses currently discovered in my country.
Overseas illegal organizations use existing root virus sequences to extract viruses carried by certain animals and recombine them to form new viruses that are more contagious.
According to the experimental logs they left behind, this virus has not yet been perfected, and the scope of infection has not yet reached the expected requirements.
It is recorded in the log that the first batch of viruses released was injected into the bodies of a group of small prey, and was released into the jungle near the residents' living areas by designated personnel.
Hunters catch these virus-laden prey, and after eating them, they will be infected with germs. These germs mainly damage the human respiratory system, from bronchial infections at the beginning to lung infections in the later stages.
Currently, the fatality rate of this virus is extremely low. When this new virus was first discovered in a local hospital, we urgently set up a special research team and developed a vaccine against the virus in just one week.
Coupled with the fact that the virus-infected areas were sealed and controlled at the earliest possible time, nearly 400 known victims gradually improved after being vaccinated.
Among them, two elderly people died due to the disease caused by the virus.
With the authorization of the family members, our R&D team conducted lung anatomy on the two deceased persons and made important breakthroughs in human experiments on the virus for the first time.
According to the experimental log records brought back, the information provided by overseas virus groups through their eyes and ears in the epidemic area, that is, the black organization members of the Hongmei Gang, shows that the virus has the characteristics of attenuation of contagion.
That is to say, the first person infected with the virus has a 50% chance of infecting the second person, and the second person has less than a 10% chance of infecting the people around him.
The symptoms of the third person infected with the virus are almost the same as those of a usual cold and fever. Some people can resist the germs solely by relying on their own immunity.
"To put it bluntly, this is a failed virus delivery experiment."
Mr. Xu's eyes were cold. The purpose of these overseas gangs is to cause a large-scale virus infection in our country, thereby triggering a series of chain reactions and causing stagnation or even regression of our country's production and economy.
At this point, Mr. Xu, who had never seen him lose his temper before, actually slammed the water glass in his hand on the table in anger.
"This crazy capitalism."
Mr. Xu gritted his teeth and decided to forget about it outside the country. After all, we have been fighting against our country overtly and covertly for hundreds of years. Some traitors inside the country who treat the lives of their compatriots as trivially as trivial matters cannot be forgiven.
"The virus samples and root viruses brought back this time do not match the data recorded in the log."
Mr. Xu frowned. Nearly one-third of the samples and root viruses disappeared, and the situation may be more dangerous than we imagined.
"Master-uncle? What's the dangerous situation?"
Mr. Xu stared at the window for a long time and sighed and shook his head. Foreign experts in the log speculated that the reason why the virus failed to spread on a large scale was that the virus did not target our genes.
To put it bluntly, the virus they developed this time can spread infection no matter where it is placed in any country or region, if the genetic factors of our people are added to the virus sequence.
Mr. Xu did not continue talking at this point. We all understand that if what Mr. Xu said turns out to be true, once the virus spreads within our territory, it will be a major disaster of epic proportions.
"In fact, it is very simple to upgrade and mutate the virus to specifically target our genes."
Mr. Xu looked worried. Although the log only mentioned that they had found a way to evolve the virus, our scientific research team soon had the most feasible experimental guess.
As long as they obtain the genetic list of the people in our living area, they can perfectly upgrade and evolve the virus.
"Mr. Xu, this must be difficult, right? Even if we obtain the genetic sequence of an individual person, it cannot represent the entire population of the country."
This is the conclusion and question I have guessed, and it should be very difficult to obtain our genes.
"Guo Guo, actually it's not that difficult at all."
Chujiu bit her lip and frowned. If foreign criminals could obtain large-scale blood samples from hospitals, they could study the genetic sequences of citizens.
"What? So simple?"
The person who answered me was Mr. Xu who nodded. A year ago, a lot of black market purchases of blood at high prices suddenly appeared in Guangxi.
It was like a thunderclap in my head. One year ago? They actually started to lay out this conspiracy a year ago.
"Maybe it's earlier, and it's not just in Guangxi."
Mr. Xu told us that many cities in the north were simultaneously buying blood at high prices on the black market. Caring people who originally went to hospitals and blood centers to donate blood for free could not stand the temptation of high money and turned to the black market to donate blood.
In an era when the average monthly income was 300 to 400 yuan, you could get a thousand yuan for donating blood on the black market. At one time, there were many people who made a living by selling blood.
Before leaving Shanxi, I did read similar news in the newspaper. In order to support their children to go to school in big cities, some parents concealed the information and went to the black market to sell blood multiple times within a month, and eventually died with the reward in their hands.
Many places in our country have carried out crackdowns on illegal blood collection on the black market, so more tragedies of this kind have not occurred.
"Mr. Xu, the underworld organization headed by Hongmei should be able to find out some information, right?"
Mr. Xu nodded slightly, a lot of information was obtained from those arrested, and Hongmei had already committed suicide out of fear of crime.
"Suicide out of fear of crime?"
Hongmei suddenly fell ill while being detained, and the guarding police immediately reported the case and contacted the ambulance. This is a severe punishment for the country, and she must not make any mistakes before sentencing.
Unexpectedly, when the ambulance was passing by the cross-sea bridge, Hongmei suddenly got violent and injured two accompanying doctors, and jumped into the sea decisively.
By the time our marine police fished out her body, she was already dead.
"As expected of a mafia eldest sister, she is so decisive in doing things."
Chu Jiu actually grinned and praised this old woman who loved to eat smelly mandarin fish for her scheming, and in order not to be infamy for thousands of years, she would first do something cruel to herself.
"Mr. Xu, what about Fang Liqun and Hualou?"
Speaking of Hongmei, my eyes suddenly lit up. How could I have forgotten these two very crucial figures?
