Zhou Yun sighed: "This is a strong man breaking his wrist!"
"Isn't it?" Ye Han agreed, "There are layers of dead insects floating on the lake. Every day, people have to send people to pick up the dead insects, pile them on the shore, pour gasoline and cremate them. The scene is very spectacular."
"Spectacular?" Zhou Yun sighed, "If we do this, the fish in the lake will be wiped out? I don't know how many years it will take to raise them back."
"It's got to be a hundred and eighty years anyway." Ye Han also sighed, "The city government not only poisoned it, but also gathered all the construction machinery in the city, opened a fire isolation belt along the lake shore, and burned it all down.
All the forests near the lake shore are said to be burned like this, so there is no need to worry about giant insects hiding in the woods and spreading out."
"Where are the giant mosquitoes? Didn't the giant mosquitoes spread?" Zhou Yun could vaguely remember some experiences.
"It has spread, but in the past few days, the areas near the lake have been trying their best to kill giant mosquitoes, using ultraviolet traps and pheromones to trap and kill them. Anyway, the methods are quite high-tech. I heard that they have killed seven or eight, and there are not many left.
"At this point, Ye Han sighed quietly, "Professor Qin said that eliminating adult mosquitoes is only the first step. The key to spreading giant mosquitoes may lay eggs. If we don't find a way to eliminate the larvae, sooner or later the giant mosquitoes will reappear. This matter
Son, we won’t be able to do it in ten or eight years.”
"So serious?" Zhou Yun was a little confused.
"It's more serious than you think. Because of this matter, several nearby provinces have changed their state of emergency. No one is allowed to go out at night, and people should go out as little as possible during the day. Dozens of villages around Jingshui Lake have all been relocated... Listen
It was said that the government was organizing factories to work overtime to produce full-coverage stab-proof suits, and someone also made a suggestion that wearing inflatable dolls could prevent giant mosquitoes... Anyway, it's all a mess."
Zhou Yun laughed loudly: "Full-cover anti-stab suit? Isn't it too hot to wear that thing on this hot day?"
"Then what can be done?" Ye Han spread his hands, "It's better to be warmer than to lose your life."
"Yeah, it's better to be warmer than to lose your life..." Zhou Yun didn't know what he thought of, his eyes suddenly became confused and wandering, and he stared blankly at the window of the ward.
Ye Han looked over curiously, but found nothing special.
Zhou Yun suddenly took a deep breath and smiled so happily and brightly: "It's good to be alive." He thought of his companions who went on the mission together.
Ye Han smiled knowingly: "Yes, it's good to be alive." He thought of Professor Qin's students.
The rainbow appears after the storm. Only when you have experienced the crisis on the verge of life and death can you understand how precious life is.
Zhou Yun had just woken up. He was in good spirits, but his physical strength was not very good. He gradually showed a tired look. Ye Han stood up and left knowingly.
The next few days were relatively calm, but beneath the calm surface, there was an undercurrent.
As Zhou Yun's body gradually recovered, he received more and more detailed information.
At midnight on the day Jingjiang City was attacked by giant mosquitoes, the relevant information was not heard until the sky. That night, the Northern Capital issued the highest order, ordering the counties and cities around Jingshui Lake to carry out emergency operations and assemble troops in the shortest possible time.
Eliminate the mutant giant insects cleanly, thoroughly and quickly to ensure the personal safety of the people.
Counties and cities immediately took action, with the top leader taking the lead and all personnel dispatching to surround Jingshui Lake and guard it day and night.
The Jingshui Lake, once crowded with tourists, was full of heavily armed soldiers and military vehicles in ready formation.
Zhou Yun was discharged from the hospital six days after regaining consciousness. At this time, no giant insect had been found in the counties and cities around Jingshui Lake for three consecutive days. The city government announced that the pest control campaign had come to an end for the time being. The next work focus would shift to killing
Above the giant mosquito larvae, the troops gathered around Jingshui Lake began to evacuate in an orderly manner.
During the nine-day operation, the military mobilized more than 100,000 active, armed police, reserve and militia personnel, used more than 7,000 military vehicles, more than 1,000 aircraft, and countless technical equipment. There were more than 400 casualties during the operation.
It consumed more than 140,000 artillery shells of various calibers, more than 30,000 aerial bombs, more than 600 tons of bullets, and countless other materials. Its scale was no less than a low-intensity local war.
In this battle, the world-famous Jingshui Lake tourist area was completely destroyed, more than 2,700 tourists, tourist area staff and innocent citizens were killed, and more than 5,000 people were injured; more than 80 natural villages and more than 30 administrative villages
Forced relocation, involving more than 80,000 people, Jingjiang City's tourism industry suffered a devastating blow, causing direct economic losses of more than 300 million yuan, and indirect economic losses that are incalculable!
However, the impact of the giant insect attack goes far beyond that. This is the first time a giant insect has attacked humans in the world. Due to the rapid and convenient spread of the Internet, major countries around the world have expressed deep concern about the Jingshui Lake incident. Officials and private environmental protection agencies in various countries have
organizations, all requested to send an investigation team to Jingshui Lake to investigate the truth of the incident.
Beidou City clearly realizes that although these organizations are under the guise of investigating the truth of the incident, they are actually selling dog meat to others. They may take this opportunity to seize the opportunity to develop giant biological weapons.
Rejecting international organizations is equivalent to confirming the outrageous speculations of the outside world, but accepting the demands of international organizations is not in the national interest.
In the end, Beidou decided to accept limited assistance from foreign non-governmental environmental protection organizations in the investigation, and sent capable personnel to accompany the entire process.
In fact, as early as the second day after the incident, Beidou City had organized authoritative experts to rush to Jingjiang City on a special plane to launch a comprehensive investigation into the Jinghu incident.
The investigation team extracted DNA samples from giant dragonfly larvae and giant mosquitoes and sent them back to Beidu City for analysis as quickly as possible. The analysis results showed that the genetic sequences of giant dragonflies and giant mosquitoes were not much different from normal dragonflies and mosquitoes, but
The only difference lies in the key gene fragment. Its mechanism of action requires a certain amount of time to analyze and measure, and the results cannot be obtained in a short time.
Based on the details of the incident and related research reported by Jingjiang City, Beidou City secretly ordered government agencies across the country to cancel their vacations, and all personnel were on call 24 hours a day to investigate the biological situation in various places.
The focus of the investigation is on aquatic insects in lakes, reservoirs and river systems with large flows. Once abnormalities in fishery resources are found, or abnormal expressions on key nodes of insect DNA are discovered, forces will be immediately organized to hunt and kill them. If necessary, the army can be mobilized to assist.
Don't let go if you kill someone wrong, and do your best to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
The environment is important, but the safety of people's lives is more important.
On the other hand, the intelligence agencies stepped up efforts to collect relevant information.
According to the news circulating on the Internet, Beidou City believes that the Jinghu incident is not an isolated incident, but a link in a series of incidents. It must ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the country and at the same time prevent giant insects born in neighboring countries from crossing the border.
A war hidden under the appearance of peace quietly started.
