Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 83 RR Virus
Liu Mang still refused the request of Keli and others. He could not do anything to tarnish the image of the nation. When people go out, they should think about the consequences of their words and actions.

But he did not stop Keli's plan. Keli could continue to ask others for help, but he just didn't want the Hanxia people to do this.

The identity issue was finally resolved, and Keli personally supervised the matter. Are you kidding me? Just bring Liu Mang over there and he’ll get beaten up and that’s it?
After completing the identity verification, Liu Mang returned to the construction site dormitory, only to find that his fellow workers all looked worried and anxious.

"What happened?" Liu Mang asked.

A middle-aged worker sighed, "The latest situation of this round of epidemic was announced today. More than 40 people in New York have shown symptoms, nearly 80 nationwide, and the death toll has reached more than . The entire New York medical system is about to collapse. It has been confirmed that this is a new virus that humans have never encountered before. It mutates very quickly. There are currently no effective preventive measures. Most of the patients can only fight it at home. My daughter is studying in New York, and I am really worried about her situation."

Fellow workers expressed their concerns one after another, and most of them had relatives, friends, etc. in New York, which left Liu Mang speechless.

Well, even though everyone is a bricklayer, it is understandable that they have some connections with big cities. After all, moving bricks does not mean being poor.

He opened his phone to check the news and found that the epidemic was far more serious than he had imagined. Similar symptoms had appeared all over the world, and even in Hanxia there were thousands of cases.

To prevent the spread of the virus, countries around the world have begun lockdowns. America also issued a lockdown order this morning, prohibiting entry and exit from all major airports and ports except for emergency supplies, and calling on people to stop production and implement self-isolation on the spot.

The call is good, but the American people do not accept it. At least in San Francisco, basically no one cares. They just do what they should do and emphasize freedom.

The project was suspended and even cancelled two days later. Wohan was unlucky and also lost his job. He was no longer the project manager who could show off on the construction site.

Although this guy is fat, he has a good heart. He used his connections to find himself a driving job in a logistics company, and he also found one for Liu Mang.

Just because of Kamal's words, Wohan actually thought of him even though he was unemployed a month later. Liu Mang couldn't help but sigh that there are still many good people in the world.

Liu Mang originally planned to get an identity certificate and fly back to Xia, but since the country is under lockdown, and he wasn't eager to go home, after all, he didn't have a home there, and it didn't really matter where he went, so he just worked and waited.

His job is also to drive a truck for a logistics company. Even in this situation, the logistics company still did not stop operating.

The black-hearted capitalists in America are chilling. Although they did not force their employees to work, the heavy debts still forced them to take risks. They even had to thank their bosses for giving them the opportunity to make money.

Liu Mang didn't care. He didn't owe any debt, and the tens of thousands of US dollars he had were enough for him to live a stable life for a year or two. He could work at the logistics company if he wanted to, and no one would force him if he didn't want to.

On the contrary, Wohan had borrowed millions of dollars and could only work diligently.

One day a week later, Liu Mang heard that Wo Han had fainted while getting in the car, but no matter how hard he tried to call the emergency number, he couldn't get through. The people around him couldn't leave, so he had no choice but to call Liu Mang, who was most familiar with Wo Han in the company.

When Liu Mang arrived at the scene, Wo Han had already been moved to the lounge. He was trembling slightly and his face was full of pain.

Without saying a word, he picked up Wohan and rushed outside, at the same time using his strength to protect him to prevent him from being injured by the bumps. He probed his body with his consciousness to investigate the situation and found that all his organs were failing and his muscle cells were even showing a tendency to dissolve!

When we arrived at the hospital, we found that it was also in chaos. The entire hospital was packed with people, and there was no place to step.

There is no hope for the hospital, I can only rely on myself.

Liu Mang thought of Keli whom he met a week ago. He said that the high-energy flour was effective, so he went to try it.

When he came to the abandoned factory again, he found that many of Keli's brothers were also sick, but their conditions were far less serious than Wohan's. They said that it was the high-energy flour that saved their lives.

When he found Liu Mang coming, Keli immediately came up to him flatteringly, "Mr. Liu, is there anything I can do for you? Please just ask, I, Keli, will definitely do it for you beautifully!"

Putting down Wo Han, Liu Mang immediately ordered: "My friend has been infected with that virus and is ill. You said that kind of flour is effective. Bring it here and try it."

Keli naturally did as he was told, but although this high-energy flour could be eaten raw, Wohan had already fainted and was completely unable to swallow it, which made him so anxious that he sweated profusely.

Liu Mang took the flour and poured it directly into Wo Han's mouth, then poured in water. He patted his shoulder and used meticulous force to control Wo Han to swallow the flour. He repeated this several times until he swallowed a kilogram of flour.

Keli was about to say something, but stopped himself. He wanted to say that 300 grams of flour was enough. Any more would not only make the stomach bloated, but also be difficult to digest, which would be a waste. But Liu Mang's movements were so fast and smooth that he didn't have time to speak.

Liu Mang used his strength to speed up Wo Han's digestion process again, and he stood up, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Wo Han's condition gradually stabilized, and the energy of the high-energy flour continued to flow throughout his body, replenishing and repairing the withered and damaged cells, and the danger to his life was no longer there.

Only then did he have time to find out what had happened.

The virus reported a week ago is far less toxic. Generally, the first onset of the disease is not too serious, and it takes at least a week for the infected person to gradually become dangerous.

But it was clearly Wohan's first attack, so why did he die on the spot?
When he opened his phone, the first message he saw was "A powerful mutant plant of an unknown virus has appeared, and its toxicity has increased hundreds of times!" After clicking on it and taking a closer look, Liu Mang discovered that this newly appeared mutant plant has killed more than 20,000 people. Basically, once you get sick, you will die, unless you get an injection of high-energy medicine.

In the afternoon of the same day, the United Nations issued a statement, naming the original strain of the virus R virus and calling on all countries to launch a global anti-epidemic campaign.

As the epidemic became increasingly serious, Keli took the initiative to distribute the high-energy flour in its inventory and distributed it directly for free, contributing its own meager strength to the fight against the epidemic.

Flour is not a medicine and cannot be injected directly. It must be absorbed through the digestive system. However, the current mutant plants can directly cause coma. Without professional means, it is difficult for ordinary people to make an unconscious person eat. Forcing food into the mouth is very likely to block the patient's respiratory tract and cause suffocation and death.

Therefore, high-energy flour is unlikely to work for people who are sick. But people who are not sick can also rely on eating more of this flour to increase their energy reserves and increase their chances of survival after getting sick, so it cannot be said that it is completely useless.

The R virus is still mutating at a high speed, and its current mortality rate is as high as 8%. Scientists are helpless. Apart from increasing energy supply through infusion, there is still no effective means to kill the virus.

Many variants of the R virus are basically transmitted through body fluids, and some variants can be transmitted through water, but their survival time in water is very short, so prevention is still the most effective measure.

Another two months passed, and the world was almost on the verge of collapse due to the torture of the R virus. After many mutations, the mortality rate of the R virus has reached an astonishing 10%, and nearly million people in the world have been infected with the virus. Countless small countries have collapsed directly in this epidemic.

Until this day, January 2015, a new type of R virus variant appeared.

This virus can not only be spread through body fluids and water flow, but the most terrifying thing is that it can also be spread through the air! And it can survive in the air for an astonishing three hours!
When the virus was discovered, it had already appeared all over the world. No matter how hard we tried to prevent it, the circulation of air could not be stopped. Prevention could no longer stop the spread of the virus.

In the news, the international community calls this super-mutated strain of the R virus the RR virus. Of course, there is nothing we can do about it, and intravenous drips are no longer effective. Everything depends on one's physical condition. Despair is beginning to spread around the world.

Liu Mang had already taken Wohan and Kamal to an abandoned warehouse and isolated them together with Keli and others. There were dozens of tons of high-energy flour left here, and there was plenty of food, water and other daily necessities. Only Liu Mang had the means to make the sick people eat the flour to save their lives, so more than 20 of Keli's men also lived here.

Watching the news on the TV on the wall and the spokesperson's numb and desperate eyes, Kamal suddenly said to Liu Mang, "Brother Liu Mang, I haven't asked you how long it has been since you replied to Han Xia?"

After spending nearly three months together, he had long discovered that although Liu Mang was from Hanxia, ​​his understanding of Hanxia was indeed relatively backward. He guessed that Liu Mang might also be a person who was struggling to survive outside.

The so-called identity certificate that was lost when encountering pirates must be false. How could a person with such ability be robbed by pirates? Perhaps, he really has no identity that he can reveal.

Liu Mang lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know what to say.

Kamal didn't care and continued, "There is no effective defense against the RR virus. People who have been infected with the R virus before will also be infected by the RR virus. There is not much use in isolating here. You may have your story, but in this case, you should go back. You don't feel a sense of belonging here. In any case, at least don't die in a foreign country."

His tone was distant and lingering, and his eyes were filled with memories and pain.

"A cargo ship carrying epidemic prevention materials from Hanxia to support San Francisco will set sail for the return journey at 18: tonight. It should still be docked at the West Coast port. Go back before the RR virus spreads widely. This may be your only chance. The RR virus will have a huge impact on the existing social structure. No one can guarantee that they can survive. If you don't leave now, you may never be able to leave." Kamal had some expectations for the future situation, but he was undoubtedly pessimistic.

"You are from Hanxia. The cargo ship of Hanxia will let you board. This country has never given up on its compatriots. No matter who you are, they will be willing to take you home."

Liu Mang was silent. He naturally knew Han Xia's style, so it would be absolutely fine for him to leave. However,
"What will you do if I leave?" Liu Mang was worried about these kind-hearted friends. Although he had only known them for about three months, they really touched Liu Mang with their sincerity.

Kamal, Wohan, and Keli looked at each other and laughed, "This is our country. Do we still need a foreigner like you to worry about it? Hahahaha!"

Although there is worry in their words, they are also full of trust in their own country. They also believe that no matter how many problems their country has, it will never allow its people to die from the virus.

They often curse America for this and that, but this is their country, and they believe that they may die if rescue efforts fail, but they will never die without anyone caring about them!
Liu Mang felt relieved. Yes, this is their country. Why should he worry about them?

Moreover, the RR virus could no longer reduce its harm by inputting energy, so there was nothing he could do if he stayed. He also had no way to deal with the virus.

I really should go to Hanxia to have a look, Liu Mang looked out the window. Is that where I can stay?
