Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 115: The Division
Thousands of miles away, Migong.

The conference room was packed. On one side were senior officials in suits and ties, who could make the entire United States tremble with a stomp of their feet. On the other side were military giants in neat uniforms, with medals almost covering their chests.

The expressions on everyone's faces were as serious as the coldest days of winter.

In the center, US President George had a document waiting for his signature in front of him, a pen resting on top of it. But he held his chin with both hands, a look of unwavering gloom lingering on his face.

"George, sign it. There's no time to hesitate," the white-haired senior official whispered. "We've discussed this so many times. It's time to make up your mind."

His name is Jones. He is the chief of the Senate and one of the most powerful officials here.

George's expression became even gloomier, and he looked directly at Jones with a cold gaze: "Are you kidding?"

Jones remained calm and composed: "The Bruins' problem has dragged on for too long and must be resolved immediately. Otherwise, it will no longer be a Bruins' problem. You must sign!"

"Impossible!" George pushed the document away, nearly sending it flying off the conference table. "I will never be the first president to grow mushrooms on home soil!"

"So what do you want to do? Wait for the epidemic to spread?" Jones refused to budge. "George, signing this document will only benefit you!"

"Sorry, I don't see the benefit!"

"George, this isn't just about you. It's for the benefit of all American citizens!" Jones said angrily. "Sign your name and resign immediately. You can end your life in a very respectable way. Every American citizen will be grateful for your contribution!"

"What if I say no?"

"You can just resign and have the Vice President issue the order!" Jones said, "But then, it won't be you who saves the United States... no, it will be someone else who saves the world!"

George was unmoved.

Jones paused. "Do you need our help?"

Two men in black suits immediately stepped forward, ready to help George sign.

"You! You--" George was furious. He looked around the room but couldn't find anyone who was willing to support him.

"Sign it. Be proactive and it will make everyone look better." Jones pushed the document in front of George and gently placed the pen on the document.

George's heart sank. He picked up the pen, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't control them at all.

"George!" Jones's patience ran out and he winked at the man in the black suit.

Just as George was about to sign his name in despair, his pen was about to touch the paper when Monica, the head of state's secretary, flung open the door to the conference room. "Everyone, we just received news that a new case has been discovered in Grizzlies City. The fungus has spread!"

"What!" Jones stood up suddenly, and the entire conference room fell silent.

Jones sat down dejectedly, as if he had aged decades in an instant: "It's over, it's all over, completely over!"

If the fungus could be confined to Brown Bear City, it could be completely eradicated with nuclear bombs, but now that the fungus has spread, there is no point in continuing to grow mushrooms.

"Damn it!" Jones grabbed George's arm. "It's all your fault. It's all your fault—"

If we had made up our minds earlier, if we had planted mushrooms earlier, that dangerous fungus would have been completely eradicated long ago. How could it have spread beyond Brown Bear City?

"Shut up! I'd never sign such a damn order!" George pushed Jones away. "Monica, notify everyone immediately. Grizzlies City is entering a state of emergency!"

"No, no, no, it's not just grizzly bears!" a general objected. "Black bears, snow bears, and other areas near brown bears are all at risk of spreading!"

"Then declare a state of emergency everywhere!" George decisively expanded the scope of the state of emergency, but a thought flashed through his mind and he immediately changed his mind: "Forget it, there is no need to make so much trouble. From now on, the entire Bear State will enter a state of emergency and the entire territory of Bear State will be blocked. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Hurry, hurry!" "Okay!" Monica agreed and hurried away.

"Are you satisfied? Are you smug?" Jones suddenly exploded. "George, if you hadn't been so slow, how could the fungus have spread? Now it's over. It's over. Mi Lijian is finished!"

"Jones, watch your words!" George slammed the table. "I don't want the fungus to spread, but what can I do? Our lab is working on it, and our scientists are conducting experiments. It won't be long before we have a complete solution to this fungus problem!"

"Solve it?" Jones snorted coldly, stood up and walked out. "Whatever you want, George."

Senior officials on one side left one after another, and some officers on the other side also stood up.

George watched all this with an expressionless face, with no intention of stopping it.

Let’s go, let’s go, it’s no big deal!

No matter who leaves, the United States will continue to operate the same!
Bruins, Falls Street.

Lei Yong supported Ma Zhiyuan and said, "Old Ma, are you okay?"

Ma Zhiyuan shook his head: "It's okay, just a bite from the bullet."

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that Lao Ma's left rib was stained with blood.

Lei Yong was anxious: "First aid kit, hurry up!"

The first aid kit was brought, and Lei Yong first gave Ma Zhiyuan some anesthetic before asking him to move his hand away.

A blood groove so deep that the bone could be seen came into view, and as soon as the hand moved away, blood immediately gushed out.

Lei Yong stripped off Ma Zhiyuan's wet clothes and quickly disinfected and sewed them up: "Old Ma, what's going on?"

"I don't know." Ma Zhiyuan tried his best to stay awake. "It could be the wind, it could be the water, or it could be some other way. Anyway, the fungus has spread. Not long ago, a new case was discovered in Grizzly City."

"Where does this news come from? Is it reliable?" Lei Yong asked.

"It is said that the news comes from the US military, so it should be reliable," said Ma Zhiyuan.

Ou Yang was a little surprised that he could get the latest news from within the US military. This Brother Ma is quite unconventional!

But think about it, the US military can sell itself out, so selling a little bit of information is just a small matter.

Compared to the spread of fungi, what does spreading a little information mean?
"No wonder the US military is so lame! Turns out the root cause is here!" Ou Yang suddenly realized, thinking he had found the reason. "So, the US military doesn't need to continue the blockade of Brown Bear, right?"

"Don't be too happy too soon." Lei Yong bandaged Lao Ma's wound. "The news hasn't been confirmed yet!"

"What does it take to be confirmed?" Ou Yang asked.

"Of course, we are waiting for the exact news," said Lei Yong.

He understood what Ou Yang meant and knew that this guy wanted to leave as soon as possible, and it would be best if he could return home immediately.

But even if the fungus spreads, Lao Mi no longer blocks the brown bears, but he has to continue to block the epidemic area. It is impossible to let the infected people walk around, and it is even more impossible to let Ou Yang leave.

More importantly, once the mainland receives the news, the evacuation operation may be suspended... No, the evacuation operation will definitely be suspended. Even if you successfully leave the epidemic area, you will not be able to return to the mainland!
