Chapter 589 Virus
If one were to rank all the laboratories in Qianfan City according to their busyness, then the Research Institute directly under the Epidemic Prevention Institute would undoubtedly have its place in the top three.

From the moment the scavenger plan of the bottom community was fully activated, this place, as the center of disease research, inevitably entered a state of full capacity.

At first, it was quite normal. The main focus of research in the research institute was the source of infection of the epidemic and how to effectively cure the infected.

No one expected that the development of things would gradually deviate from the expected track. Halfway through the scavenger plan, it was discovered that those infected people who were supposed to be quarantined had unexpected mutations, and weak patients turned into spirit-like creatures. Pollution Monster.

In view of the human mutation caused by the epidemic and then transformed into a monster like a spiritual pollution source, how to prevent this from happening again has become an urgent problem to be overcome.

Although the No. 35 Community Hospital, as the frontier station, undertook the collection of samples and first-hand information, the real research and research ultimately fell to the research institute.

Now the already busy work is even worse with a can of black and purple liquid brought by Newcastle, but who let him be the deputy director of the epidemic prevention station? He repeatedly emphasized that the can of pus should be given the first priority level, the researchers below had to temporarily stop their work.

However, as the research progressed, the harm of this jar of pus made everyone feel like an enemy, and the number of test items continued to increase.

The researcher in a white protective suit disinfected his whole body and left the laboratory. He took off his hood as he walked forward to let himself breathe a little easier. When he came to the corridor with a data recorder in his hand, he saw the familiar man at first sight. figure.

"Newcastle, the results of the second phase of the experiment"

Halfway through the conversation, the researcher noticed that Newcastle seemed to be falling asleep leaning on the bench, with his head tilted, and he could faintly hear some snoring.

Looking at the tired face of the middle-aged man, after thinking about it, he turned and sat down next to him, with the back of his head against the wall, closed his eyes, and took a rare moment to relax.

This state didn't last long before it was interrupted by the sound next to him. Turning around, he saw Newcastle turning his neck carefully, as if worried about disturbing him.

"Troff, thank you for your hard work."

Newcastle patted his old friend's thigh in embarrassment. He didn't want to wake him up, but his neck was so sore that he couldn't help but want to turn around slowly.

"Others say I work hard, and I admit it. As for you, forget it. It's a bit funny to say this from your mouth. This is the result of the second phase of the experiment. Let's see. I have to admit, your worry That's right, this thing is more dangerous than any disease we've encountered before!"

Putting the recorder into Newcastle's hand, Troff waited for his reply, suddenly seemed to think of something, raised his head halfway, looked at the grid-shaped striped ceiling, and said in a cold voice,
"We who study medicine are really busy. Look at the other deputy directors. What kind of places do you go in and out all day? Rose Gold Restaurant, Times Nightclub, at least you have to be a VIP. And you, you deal with viruses all day long. Not to mention, you still have to worry about this kind of thing now, and you know what the funniest thing is, the money those guys make has to add two zeros after your salary!"

"Haha~ When did you even start thinking about this kind of thing, we are doctors, we are different from others, let alone me, the deputy director, our mentor, and the director of the epidemic prevention department ran here yesterday , By the way, have you seen the mentor?"

Looking at the data on the screen, Newcastle replied casually.

Troph and Newcastle were classmates, and students of Grande.

"Mentor? When."

"A little after 12 o'clock, late at night, I was going to come here to check the situation, but I ran into the instructor in the corridor, and he said he went to see the infected person."

"12 o'clock? No wonder I didn't see it. We were holding a seminar at the time. In the experiment, a few assistants mentioned this. The teacher is so old. You can find an opportunity to persuade him. Just leave these things to us. , You have done a good job these years, to be honest, I am a little surprised, this time the epidemic just appeared, and the teacher suddenly came out of the mountain, as if he had predicted in advance that there would be today's scene."

Shrugging his shoulders, Troff searched for topics indiscriminately, not to discuss anything, but just to let his brain think of something else.

"Well, within [-] meters, the breath of the infected person will carry the virus, are you sure?"

Looking at the content on the recorder, Newcastle's face became more and more ugly.

"Data won't lie, Newcastle, where did you get that bottle of pus? This is the most difficult epidemic prevention war since Qianfan City became a super city!"

When it came to business, Troff's smile faded completely, replaced by a serious face.

"No, according to the information I got, the Ouroboros organization won't have many such things in their hands."

Cleverly avoiding Troff's questions, the exchange of information with Hannibal Lecter is the key channel for Newcastle to obtain information about the Ouroboros organization. He promised Dr. Lecter that he would not disclose this to anyone. thing.

"Sure?"

"Of course, the news is very reliable, so don't worry about it."

When Newcastle had a meeting with Zhu Jue in the early hours of this morning, he asked the question raised by Troff just now. The latter made it clear that this was something that the cadres of Ouroboros kept. Based on this, the number must not be too much, but this The results of the second round of experiments still worried Newcastle, so he couldn't help but ask,

"Troff, tell me the truth, how long will it take for the vaccine to be produced?"

"I don't know. From the outbreak of the epidemic to the present, it has taken no more than half a month, not to mention the sudden change in the lower-level communities in the middle. The research institute has tried its best to tackle the problem. If it is another epidemic, maybe the vaccine has already passed. Putting it into use, but this time it's different, and all I can say is do whatever it takes to get it done as quickly as possible."

With the modern technology level, ordinary viruses have already been thoroughly analyzed, and the production of vaccines has begun step by step, but this time the virus obviously has its own peculiarities, and it is difficult for even Troff to guarantee anything.

"I see, you continue to work hard here, I have to report this situation to the government immediately, and let them immediately let Heaven monitor the densely populated areas of Qianfan City, and the security department must be on standby at any time, go first, wait this The matter is over, I invite you to have a drink, you can choose the place."

After patting his old classmate on the shoulder twice, Newcastle picked up the data recorder and got up to leave. It's not time to reminisce about the past.

Walking quickly to the outside of the research institute, the airship has been waiting at the door.

Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to the sky.

Under the dark sky.

It was snowing all over the sky.
