Scum attack, does it hurt to slap the face?

Lian Jie's sudden illness made all the Silver Wing Special Forces feel deeply saddened. An atmosphere of depression and sadness permeated, and an ominous cloud shrouded their heads.

Xing Zhan called Dr. Rich for help. Under his guidance, he temporarily isolated Lian Jie, and then joined the bridge repair team with other soldiers.

After everyone's concerted efforts, the bridge destroyed by the flood was finally repaired in the early morning of the next day, and then a group of people drove across the bridge and rushed back to the military camp as fast as possible.

As soon as they returned to the barracks, they immediately sent Lian Jie to the intensive care unit for emergency treatment.

However, the situation is not optimistic, it can be said to be quite grim.

The two special forces soldiers who were sent back before were rescued by the medical team with all their strength, but they were still unable to recover. Two hours before Xing Zhan and the others returned to the camp, they had stopped breathing.

To make matters worse, several doctors and nurses who took care of them in the medical team also developed symptoms of fever and shortness of breath due to close contact with patients, which confirmed the strong contagiousness of the virus.

Since Xing Zhan was not in the barracks before, Dr. Ricky could not take further measures without the order of the chief. He could only temporarily block the news and try not to let the news spread. However, the terrible virus came fiercely and began to spread rapidly.

Not only the military camp, but several towns near the Mansi desert have been infected with the virus. News reports show that the area where the infection has been reported is spreading rapidly, and more and more people have been infected and fell ill.

Although it is not clear what the source of the virus is, this virus is not only highly contagious, but also has a fast onset, from onset to death, at the earliest it only takes a day or two.

Although Dr. Ricky led local medical experts to urgently develop drugs against the virus, and various countries and international organizations also sent medical teams to assist, the process of developing new drugs takes time and requires a lot of experimental tests, but the patients are fundamentally ill. I can't wait, the number of deaths is increasing every day, and it has exceeded a thousand, which is shocking to see.

Under the shadow of death, the entire military camp was in panic, worried that they would be infected with an incurable disease unknowingly.The virus is spreading like wildfire, and there is still no reliable cure.

Xing Zhan returned to the barracks, and after learning about the situation, he immediately issued two orders:

First, isolate all people who have symptoms of infection, and even those who have been in contact with these people are isolated for observation, and the entire military camp is fully disinfected with disinfectants.

Second, all soldiers are on standby in the camp, and stop all outing activities. Without orders from superiors, they are not allowed to walk around at will, so as not to be infected by contact with the virus.

After giving the order, Xing Zhan urgently convened a meeting with Dr. Rich.

After an hour and a half, Dr. Ricky came out of the laboratory and walked into the meeting room.

This Dr. Ricky can be said to be a legend of the peacekeeping force. He was born in a medical family. His grandfather and father are both accomplished medical experts. The hospitals and clinics opened by his family are located in many countries. His family is very wealthy and Powerful.

Ricky has shown his talent in medicine since he was a child. During his doctoral studies, he has won many international awards for his research results. He holds several patents for special effects drugs. After graduation, many multinational pharmaceutical groups rushed to invest heavily. Wanted to hire him, but Ricky refused all of them.

He neither chose the attractive salary of the pharmaceutical group, nor returned to the family to inherit the family business, but joined the international medical organization, followed the peacekeeping force to the front line of the war, and became a field doctor.

Regardless of the dissuasion and opposition of his family, Dr. Ricky resolutely gave up the good life within easy reach and chose a road full of thorns and dangers.

In Xing Zhan's barracks, the medical team led by Rich is a highly respected existence. Under limited medical conditions, they used superb medical skills to save lives and heal the wounded, saving the lives of countless soldiers.

It is no exaggeration to say that the medical team led by Dr. Ricky is indispensable in the military medal of the Silver Wing Special Forces.

Mu Jue looked at this legendary medical genius, but he didn't expect Dr. Ricky to be so young, he looked only in his early 30s, wearing a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, tall and thin like a bamboo pole.

It may be because of too much pressure recently and overwork from working overtime overnight. Dr. Ricky's face is a little pale, and his eyes are obviously black and blue. According to the people below, he has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and has been staying in the laboratory. , Day and night to develop drugs to treat viruses.

Although Xing Zhan was anxious, he still politely greeted Dr. Rich's body first: "Doctor, you don't look very well, you should pay attention to rest."

Dr. Ricky pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and said coldly: "Can I take a break at this time? For patients, every minute and every second is very important. General, what are your orders?" Tell me as soon as possible, I will go back to the laboratory to continue my research after I'm done."

Xing Zhan understands Dr. Rich's straightforward character, and also knows that this is an extraordinary period, and everyone's nerves are tense.Dr. Ricky is an outstanding medical researcher. If the drug to treat the virus can be developed earlier, the lives of tens of thousands of people can be saved, including the soldiers of Lian Jie and the peacekeeping force.

However, as the chief officer, Xing Zhan also needs to understand the current progress. He said: "I know that you are racing against time, Doctor, and I will try to waste your time as little as possible. I just want to know what you have discovered so far about this virus so that we can do some research. Targeted protective measures."

This issue was also the concern of several senior military officers present. After all, ignorance is the scariest thing. Knowing more about this disease and taking reasonable preventive measures can also relieve everyone's anxiety mood.

Dr. Ricky had already prepared for this. He took out his laptop, found out the picture of the virus under the microscope and some experimental data, and showed it to everyone through the projector.

"Look, this red ellipsoid is a virus. I temporarily named it RS virus. This is a brand new virus that has never appeared before."

"In the early days, the size of the RS virus was extremely small. It would penetrate into the human body through the respiratory tract or the surface of the skin. Once it entered the human body, it would frantically swallow the red blood cells of the human body. When it swallowed up a certain number of cells, the red blood cells There will be insufficient numbers.”

"Everyone knows that aerobic respiration of the human body carries oxygen through red blood cells, and circulates in the body through the blood to provide the oxygen needed by various organs. Once the red blood cells are insufficient, it will lead to hypoxia in the human body, which is why patients suffer from illness. Chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing.”

Xing Zhan recalled Lian Jie's painful face because of dyspnea when he became ill. He frowned tightly and asked, "According to your research, what drugs can suppress this virus? What should we do for people who are not infected?" For protection, is it possible to develop a targeted vaccine?"

This issue is also the most concerned by everyone. There are tens of thousands of viruses in the world, and some viruses are very powerful and deadly. But in the end, human beings can find medicines or vaccines to restrain them, otherwise human beings would have been extinct long ago.

To everyone's disappointment, Dr. Ricky shook his head: "Experts from various countries and I are working hard, but there is no restraint drug developed yet. However, I believe that in time, a vaccine or drug can be developed. It's just the length of time. But the problem is that the onset of RS virus is extremely fast, and it takes two to three days from the onset of infection to death, and it is highly contagious and can be transmitted through the respiratory tract. Our medical staff The two soldiers who first came into contact with were infected because they did not take comprehensive protection."

Mu Jue couldn't help but said: "According to what you said, since the two special forces and Lian Jie got sick, there are fifty people in our line, and if we all go with them, are we also at risk of being infected?"

Dr. Ricky said seriously: "Yes, as the companions of the three of them, you also have a high risk. The RS virus has an incubation period. If you don't get sick now, it doesn't mean you are not infected by the virus. You must be isolated and observed for a period of time. Just make sure there is nothing wrong, don’t take it lightly.”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Mu Jue and Xing Zhan with a stiff expression, and some even took a step back slightly to distance themselves from them.

Mu Jue smiled sarcastically. As a monk in the Golden Core stage, how could he be infected by the virus? Even if the virus entered his body, he could purify it by himself.As for Xing Zhan, probably not, his physique will also be purified in the process of dual cultivation with himself, so the Qingtian Lieyang Jue is a mutually beneficial exercise, which is beneficial to both parties.

Xing Zhan didn't care much about his own safety, and continued to ask Dr. Rich: "The two people who were first infected touched the water in a lake in the oasis of the Mansi Desert. I put the lake water in a bottle and sent it back to the doctor. You, after your test, did it prove that the lake had the virus and infected them?"

Dr. Ricky nodded and said, "Yes, the virus contained in the lake water is exactly the same as the virus in the patient's body, so it is basically certain that they were infected with the virus because they touched the lake water containing the virus."

Mu Jue asked puzzledly: "It's good. Why did the lake in the desert oasis have an unprecedented virus? And I remember Lian Jie said that when he passed that oasis two years ago, it was completely different. Scenario, when there were still people living in the oasis, but now it has become a no man's land full of viruses."

Dr. Ricky said: "RS, a brand new virus, may be a variant of a certain virus, but I am more inclined to think that it is artificially cultivated. Why do I think so? Because it is extremely destructive and splits The speed is amazing, and it only infects humans, and no other animals have been found to be infected with it. The two special soldiers who were infected were also because they touched the lake in the oasis in the desert. Normally, such a dense virus will not suddenly appear in nature, or in the desert In the lake here, this is quite strange, unless someone intentionally puts poison in the lake water, but what is the purpose of putting the virus?"

Xing Zhan was thoughtful, his two sword eyebrows frowned into a word of Chuan, and he pondered: "I have a guess, the release of the virus may be done by the rebels, the purpose is to let the virus spread and cause panic, especially for our peacekeeping troops , so that we lose our combat effectiveness, they can take the opportunity to counterattack and win."

Dr. Ricky disagreed, saying: "It's not that I look down on them, I really don't believe that they have the ability to grow such a powerful virus. You know, virus experiments are extremely difficult, and the risks and costs are high. They are not experts in this field. It’s impossible for an expert to do it. Pasha’s magic stick and his idiots can pretend to fool the ignorant people, but do they have the ability to develop viruses?”

Xing Zhan remembered what Lian Jie said to him at the riverside last night, could it really be that "he"?

Xing Zhan thought for a while, and ordered the other officers to retreat first, leaving only Mu Jue and Dr. Rich.

Xing Zhan said to Dr. Rich: "Doctor, have you heard of Mankiw?"

"Mankiw?" Dr. Ricky's eyes widened in astonishment, "The general is talking about the anti-human pervert expert who created a bacterial weapon for Pasha, Mankiw?"

"Yes, I was talking about him."

"He...isn't he dead? He died in the battle of Dilikar Village. You killed him yourself, didn't you?"

"Yes, at that time we all thought he was bound to die..." Xing Zhan paused, and said with a solemn face, "Dilikar Village was blown into a piece of scorched earth, and there was nothing left. Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to return Alive, but this time the virus is really like his handwriting, making people have to wonder if he is not dead and is still doing evil."

Dr. Ricky took a breath, and murmured: "If it was him, the virus incident this time can be explained. If he didn't die, it would be terrible..."

Dr. Ricky's face was pale, and Xing Zhan's face was also serious. It seems that this Mankiw is a powerful character, but I don't know what kind of person he is?Mu Jue thought silently in his heart, but he didn't ask Xing Zhan immediately, and was going to wait for the right time to ask Xing Zhan.

Xing Zhan said to Dr. Rich: "It is not yet conclusive, but I will find a way to verify it as soon as possible, I hope it is not him... You don't have to worry about these things, you should concentrate on developing drugs to suppress the virus. Regarding this, what do you need? Do I help?"

"Yes." Dr. Ricky immediately proposed, "At present, I have encountered a difficulty in the experiment, because the drug reaction must be tested on a living body to determine whether it is effective. But because this virus only infects humans, it does not infect animals. , and I can’t treat people as experimental subjects, so there’s no way to test them.”

"This is indeed a problem... If I am infected with the virus, I would be willing to be your experimental subject." Xing Zhan said lightly.

"Don't be joking, general! How can I risk the lives of tens of thousands of people in the entire army by yourself?"

"There is no risk. I am not only a general, but also a soldier. As a soldier, I must be prepared to sacrifice at any time."

Xing Zhan had thought through life and death from the day he joined the Silver Wing Special Forces.Afraid of the head and tail, greedy for life and afraid of death, what kind of soldier do you still want to be?

Xing Zhan's combat style is ruthless and decisive. He often puts his life on the line to survive and accomplish things that others can't even imagine.

A person who is ruthless to his enemies doesn't care much about himself.Xing Zhan has been very independent since he was a child, and his parents didn't care much about him. Since he joined Silver Wing, he has become even more solitary, without any worries.

However, when he met Mu Jue's eyes and saw the worry, concern, and even blame in his eyes, Xing Zhan's cold heart was shaken a little.

He was indeed a bachelor with nothing to worry about before, but now it is different, he is no longer alone...

Mu Jue said he liked her, if she died, would Mu Jue be sad?

Mu Jue quietly stretched out his hand from under the table, took hold of Xing Zhan's palm hanging by his leg, and clenched it tightly, as if conveying his love with actions.

Mu Jue's warm palm made Xing Zhan feel a sense of warmth, and made him feel strong nostalgia and reluctance.

If he died like this, he would never see him again... Thinking about it this way, it would be difficult for Xing Zhan to not care about his own safety as before.

Sure enough, with concerns and feelings in my heart, I can no longer ignore life and death.

Xing Zhan clenched Mu Jue's hand with his backhand, and made up his mind: For Mu Jue, he cannot fall down.Instead of falling down, he has to become stronger, strong enough to protect him.Although Mu Jue is a cultivator and should be stronger than himself, Xing Zhan still habitually wants to protect him, pamper him, make him happy, and give him happiness.As a man, this should be done.

Xing Zhan and Mu Jue exchanged glances. Although they thought they were keeping it secret, Dr. Rich could still see the ambiguity between them.

Dr. Ricky clenched his fist under his mouth and coughed, reminding them of his existence.

Xing Zhan withdrew his gaze from Mu Jue's face: "Cough...then what, I know your difficulties, I will send people out to recruit volunteers who are willing to accept the experiment at a high price. There are many people infected with the disease in nearby towns, I believe it will be Someone wants to be a volunteer."

"This is the best, thank you General!" Dr. Ricky said again, "General and Mr. Mu, remember to isolate yourself for at least three days and observe whether there are any abnormal symptoms. In case of any situation, you must inform me as soon as possible. I."

"Okay, I see, thank you for reminding me."

Xing Zhan stood up, sent Dr. Ricky outside the conference room, and then sent two soldiers to escort him back to the laboratory.

After Xing Zhan sent off Dr. Rich, he turned around and saw Mu Jue behind him, looking deeply at him with clear black eyes.

Xing Zhan's heart softened, and he stepped forward in two steps, hugged Mu Jue's waist, and kissed him lightly on the lips: "A Jue, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Mu Jue stroked Xing Zhan's deep and handsome cheek, and said softly: "I'm not afraid, and you don't have to worry, we'll be fine."

After going through so many life and death, this time, he will never see the person he likes have an accident again. No matter what, even if he tries his best, he will protect Xing Zhan.
