"Yes, isn't the Spring Festival coming soon?" Aunt Wang said happily.
She has always been the most proud of her son, and she always talks about it no matter what. Therefore, anyone who is familiar with her knows that she has a precious son working in the United States.
"Aunt Wang, you seem to be looking a little bad."
Li Zhi handed the packaged seafood ingredients to the other party and asked with concern when he saw the other party's pale face.
"Maybe it's because I've caught a cold recently, I have a fever and a cough. As I get older, my body's resistance has become weaker." Aunt Wang said with a sigh.
"How much?"
Aunt Wang took the packaged seafood from Li Zhi and was about to pay when she suddenly coughed violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs, and her face turned red from holding it back.
.
"Aunt Wang, are you okay?" Seeing this situation, Li Zhi was shocked.
At this time, Aunt Wang was coughing, but suddenly a bloody sword spurted out, hitting Li Zhi's face. For a moment, Li Zhi's entire face was covered with blood foam.
Everyone around was shocked when they saw this scene. After Aunt Wang coughed up blood, she went into shock and fell straight up.
In an instant, the surroundings became chaotic, and some people quickly took out their mobile phones to call the police and ambulance.
Bavaria, an underground palace.
The middle-aged man dressed in white suddenly frowned when he heard the news reported by his subordinates.
For some unknown reason, his five companions in the United States suddenly lost contact.
"You go out first!" the middle-aged man said to his subordinates who had just finished reporting.
"Yes, Great Elder!" His subordinates retreated.
At this time, six middle-aged men and women dressed similarly to him walked in together. Seeing the middle-aged man's frown, someone asked curiously: "What's wrong, Mog?"
Mog, the great elder of the Elder Council, has supreme authority in the Illuminati.
And these six middle-aged men and women dressed similarly to him are the remaining six elders of the Illuminati.
"Vernal and the others suddenly lost contact." Mog truthfully told the six people what he had heard.
"What? How could this happen?" Fifth Elder Lake said in shock.
"I don't know the reason either. It seems that all our forces in the United States have been wiped out." Mog frowned and said.
Just in case, to prevent the news that Vernal and others were killed by them from leaking out, when Lin Fan stayed in the United States, he teamed up with Alice to eliminate all the forces of the Illuminati left in the United States.
This is why Mog still doesn't know why Vernal lost contact, let alone that they are already dead.
"Is there such a thing? Where are Edward and Alice? Can't we even contact them?" asked Ivan, the second elder.
Mog shook his head and instantly confirmed Ivan's answer.
"Damn it, how could something like this happen?" Lake said anxiously.
As the last twelve pure-blooded Atlanteans on earth, and having been together for more than 10,000 years, they can be said to have extremely deep feelings.
These five people suddenly lost contact. Why not make him anxious?
"Mog, why don't you let me go over and see for myself what's going on?"
The speaker was the only woman among the twelve, named Dumeisha, ranked seventh. She was a very beautiful blond woman with extremely moving amber eyes.
"That's fine!" Mog thought for a moment and said.
After Du Meisha volunteered, she got on a plane to the United States alone and arrived in Las Vegas that night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into this land, Dumeisha felt an unusual aura.
Although the streets were still as lively as ever, Dumeisha smelled a hint of danger in the air, which made her frown deeply.
There was basically no danger that could make her feel dangerous, but she didn't expect to feel it immediately when she came to this city. This kind of danger didn't seem to be given by someone, and she couldn't explain the reason at once.
She didn't have time to think too much, so she looked at the time on her wrist. It was already past seven in the evening. Du Meisha stopped her and got into a taxi to rush directly to the laboratory to check the situation.
But just when she was about to tell the driver where she was going, Du Meisha's eyes widened suddenly. She actually saw the black silk covering the black driver's body.
What's happening here?
Dumeisha frowned deeply. She could see things that others couldn't. That was her divine eye power. And this unknown black thread made her feel a deep danger.
Du Meisha said sorry and got off the car directly.
The black driver was confused for a moment, cursed and drove away.
Later, Du Meisha hailed another taxi, but the situation was still the same. It wasn't until she picked a taxi many times that she finally picked a normal one.
But when she told the other party where she was going, the driver told her that there was an explosion in that place more than ten days ago, and that a hundred meters in radius had been turned into ruins, and nothing existed anymore.
Dumeisha was immediately shocked.
explode?
Doesn't that mean that the laboratory has disappeared? No wonder Vernal and the others can't be contacted. Is it possible that he is dead?
In order to find out whether it was true, Du Meisha still asked the driver to take her there, but the driver refused to go there at all. He also told Du Meisha that the place was haunted by devils and that anyone who had been to that place would be dead when they came back.
.
This made Dumeisha confused.
Devil, how could there be a devil in this world?
However, if they couldn't get past, Du Meisha had no choice but to knock the other party unconscious, throw the driver onto the road, and drive over by herself.
After arriving there, Dumeisha saw that the place had turned into ruins and nothing existed.
The surrounding area has already been separated by a cordon, and there are also signs indicating that it is dangerous and not allowed to approach.
Dumeisha stopped the car and got out. The smell of disinfectant filled the air.
But even so, Dumeisha still felt very dangerous, a hundred times scarier than other places.
Could it be that the virus in the experiment was leaked due to the explosion?
Dumeisha immediately had the answer in her mind, because only this reason could explain why she felt palpitations.
But why did the good laboratory explode? Are Vernal and the others really dead?
Dumeisha couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and suddenly remembered that Edward had a casino here, so she might as well go there to find out the situation.
Thinking in her mind, Du Meisha immediately drove away from here. It wasn't until she was far away that she felt that the holding feeling in her heart was relieved a lot.
No wonder the driver said before that there are devils there. It seems that those who have been there must have died after being infected with the virus.
At this moment, Du Meisha finally understood why she still had that weird feeling when she first stepped into this land. It seemed that many people in this city must have been infected. Those who were entangled in black silk must have been infected.
People infected with the virus.
Even they and the people of Atlantis are not immune to this virus, so don't get infected yourself.
When he arrived at the casino where Edward was, Dumeisha suddenly frowned again because he found that many people were wrapped in black threads, and these were all people infected by the virus.
She must find Edward immediately to find out why the laboratory exploded and whether Vernal and the others are still alive, and then leave the United States as soon as possible. This place is really too dangerous.
A few days later, the city center hospital.
"What's going on? Why are so many pneumonia patients suddenly sent here?"
Qin Jinmin walked into the respiratory medicine department wearing a white coat and a solemn expression. Several attending doctors immediately stood up and looked at each other.
"Go back to the director, we don't know the specific situation. Almost all of these people got sick together in the past few days." the chief physician replied.
Several attending physicians in the Department of Respiratory Medicine looked confused, and they suddenly broke out before they felt anything.
This reminded them of SARS in 2002.
Could it be SARS again? Several people were thinking.
"A disease broke out together!" Qin Jinmin frowned upon hearing this, "What about these people's illnesses?"
"It's very similar to the patient who was sent here at the beginning. He has symptoms of fever, fatigue, and dry cough."
"Three of them have diarrhea, and severe cases will suffer from respiratory distress. In all of these cases, routine blood tests showed a decrease in lymphocytes, and chest CT showed ground glass changes, all of which were around the lungs. It can be concluded that they are viral.
Pneumonia." The chief physician reported truthfully.
A few days ago, a female patient was sent to the central hospital. At first, she thought she was just an ordinary pneumonia patient. However, after some anti-infective treatment, the patient still had a high fever. Not only that, she also developed symptoms such as respiratory failure.
, completely unable to find out the reason.
The hospital had no choice but to ask the Institute of Virology to analyze and compare the patient's genetic sequence to find out what caused the illness.
"Has the genetic sequence of the previous patient been compared?" Qin Jinmin asked.
"There is a report from the Institute of Virology, which is a bit like SARS!" the chief physician said, and the last word can be said to be as light as mosquitoes.
Suddenly, there was silence in the department.
Everyone sighed, it really comes to whatever they want.
"Check the source of infection and cooperate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to find the source of infection immediately!" Qin Jinmin said loudly, his face becoming nervous.
If it is really SARS, it is no joke!
At this moment, the alarm sounded in the intensive care unit, and all the doctors in the respiratory medicine department put on protective clothing and masks and rushed to the intensive care unit, including Qin Jinmin.
After knowing that it might be SARS, no one dared to be careless!
At this time, an infected patient in the intensive care unit was already dying.
Qin Jinmin waited for a group of doctors and nurses to come in and immediately started rescuing the patient.
"The heart rate dropped too fast." A nurse looked at the electrocardiograph and said in a panic.
The chief physician immediately started heart rate recovery on the patient.
"Blood pressure and oxygen saturation have dropped." At this time, the nurse who had been watching the electrocardiograph said again.
