Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 20 Full Control
Staring at the planes taking off and landing, Zhu Yiming muttered in confusion: "What's going on?"

From yesterday until now, I don’t know how many times the transport planes have flown. The huge airport is filled with piles of supplies everywhere, and the airport is almost full.

"What are you mumbling about?" Ou Yang stretched out his arms and was doing chest expansion exercises.

"I said, why are there more troops?"

"Reinforce troops? That's a good thing!" Ou Yang said with a smile.

Zhu Yiming was a little confused: "How can this be considered a good thing? Besides, good or bad, what does it have to do with us?"

Ou Yang looked at Zhu Yiming in surprise: "How can it not matter? It matters a lot!"

Zhu Yiming saluted pretentiously and said, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

Ou Yang pointed at the landing plane and said, "Let me tell you this: if the virus spreads, or if there are signs of it spreading, the US military will definitely prioritize controlling areas where the epidemic is less severe, rather than continuing to fill the hole left by the Brown Bear."

Zhu Yiming was even more confused: "That's good news, but we can't go out. Does the spread of the virus have any impact on us?"

"Why not?" Ou Yang asked. "If it hadn't spread, Migong could have focused its resources on solving the Brown Bear City problem first. The more resources invested, the faster the problem would be solved. Don't you think that's a good thing?"

"Hey, what a good thing!" Zhu Yiming finally understood. "Oh my god, you've gone through so much trouble. What's wrong with you?"

"I'm pretty much in my right mind, you're the one who's too stupid!" Ou Yang said. "If it were any other virus, Mi Gong wouldn't be so worried, but the F virus... isn't that what Lao Mi calls it?"

"Correct!"

"The F virus is too dangerous. The chaos in Brown Bear Market is not just due to the virus, but it has played a very large role. Do you think Lao Mi is worried about the spread of the virus?"

Zhu Yiming had a constipated expression on his face, rolled his eyes and urged, "No, who did you learn this habit of keeping things a secret from? Can you please speak properly if you have something to say?"

"Haha!" Brother Zhang, who was listening, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ou Yang laughed dryly to hide his embarrassment: "Isn't this just idle chat?"

"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"

"What I mean is that this epidemic isn't just a problem for Brown Bear City," Ou Yang said. "Look at how many people are quarantined in Area A, and how many people are at the airport. Judging from the current situation, only a very small number of people are infected with the fungus, and only a small fraction of them have violent tendencies. It's impossible for these people alone to cause such chaos in Brown Bear City!"

"Tell the important point!"

"First, there's the epidemic, which is easy to explain. But the military's sudden lockdown of the entire city exacerbated the panic among ordinary people. Add to that the looting, and Brown Bear City is in chaos." Ou Yang hadn't prepared for this, and as he spoke, he racked his brains for a detailed analysis. "The city is chaotic, but there are very few patients, and there aren't that many militants either. Most of them are ordinary people. If this happened in China, there wouldn't have been chaos from the beginning, but it's just that the American situation is like this."

At this point, he made a gun-wielding gesture. "You're bullying me, and I certainly won't let you do that. It's like a snowball. Some are taking advantage of the situation to loot, some are forming gangs to protect themselves, and some are just trying to escape. It's such a big city, and time is limited. The military can't surround it so tightly. If the main roads are blocked, there are still small roads. If the small roads are blocked, there are still wild areas. If a carrier escapes, won't the epidemic spread?"

"Oh, I see!" Brother Zhang suddenly realized, "You mean, if we can control the situation as soon as possible, we can keep the people in Brown Bear City, right?"

Zhu Yiming gave Brother Zhang a strange look: "So you don't understand? Seeing your calm expression, I thought you understood too!"

"That's exactly what I mean." If we quickly control the situation and restore order, we can calm the vast majority of the population. Then, using a bit of coercion against the militants and the more violent patients, won't order be restored in Brown Bear City? Then, we need to invest sufficient resources to contain the epidemic to Brown Bear City... This is the solution with the least losses."

After listening to Ou Yang's lengthy speech, Zhu Yiming fell silent. Locking down a city is indeed a good way to prevent the spread of the epidemic, but doing so is equivalent to pushing a large number of ordinary people into a fire pit.

Whether he, Ou Yang or others, they are all victims of the blockade of the city.

From the perspective of the US Palace or the United States, this is a necessary sacrifice to control the epidemic and ensure the safety of the vast majority of Americans; but from a personal perspective, doing so is very, very, very unfair to everyone in the epidemic area.

I can understand it, but I cannot agree with it.

The whistle blew, and the exercise ended. Zhu Yiming, who was always optimistic, returned to the terminal with a lot on his mind.

After everyone returned to Area C, a group of people in protective suits came in and carried out comprehensive disinfection of the entire activity area. After waiting for enough time, the passage to Area B was opened on time.

Activities should be divided into different time periods and areas to avoid contact with each other.

People in Area B walked out of the terminal one after another, some fast and some slow. The protective suits responsible for observation soon discovered that there were very few optimistic people in Area B. Most of them looked bitter and resentful.

They repeatedly thought about who they had contacted recently, how far away they were from each other, and whether they would be infected with the virus.

The overall atmosphere in Area C is not relaxed, but it can be described as peaceful. Area B is a completely different scene, exuding a sense of oppression and heaviness from the inside out, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Some of them didn't even feel like taking a walk and simply didn't leave Area B.

The military neither interferes nor forces anything, but simply records everyone's choice.

After the exercise in Area B was completed, the protective clothing was thoroughly disinfected again.

However, unless anything happens in Area A, the military will not release these potential destabilizing factors.

Ou Yang and others spent a relatively leisurely afternoon.

During this period, transport planes took off and landed repeatedly, delivering more US troops and supplies to the airport.

Aunt Guo thinks that the US military has a lot of money to burn. Brown Bear City is located in the US mainland, and the city is sealed off by the US military. Ordinary people can't get out, so can't the US military get in?

At most it will be a little slower, so why bother wasting time and effort on air transportation?
She knew that the US military was racing against time, but she was used to being frugal and couldn't stand waste.

The American troops continued to spread out in all directions with the airport as the node.
Although the city was in chaos, no force dared to confront the military. The US military's action was unstoppable. In just a few hours, they successfully recovered all the strategic nodes in the plan.

Including water plants, gas companies, distribution stations, police station buildings, TV stations, etc.

More American troops arrived later and, following the experience learned from the great Eastern powers, gradually divided the entire Brown Bear City into blocks.

Although the chaos has not stopped, it is under control, and the dawn is about to come!

　It's too late and I don't have enough energy, I'll update it first and make changes later... I'll make changes tomorrow
