My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 199 Highly Virulent Avian Influenza
"James Raven wholeheartedly agreed, and after in-depth negotiations, we reached an alliance agreement. Not an alliance with the Golden Dawn, but an alliance with the Raven family."

"Furthermore, James Raven later showed me a list of entrepreneurs who had successfully penetrated the East!"

I understand he probably only showed me a small portion, but even in that small portion… I saw quite a few familiar names.”

Chu Zhu scanned the names, some familiar and some unfamiliar, with a blank expression, feeling a chill run down his spine. The only thing he could be thankful for was that the names were almost all related to money…

The real power figure's name was not mentioned... It's unclear whether he doesn't exist, or whether James Raven's current status makes it inappropriate to reveal it.
Chu Zhu personally believes that even if such a case exists, it is extremely rare.

"...I returned to China, and with the help of the entrepreneurs on the list provided by Golden Dawn, the two major companies, C and Z, began to expand at an extremely terrifying rate!"

Then came a series of operations that spun off the international service company, and even listed it in the US... The Bald Eagle Company, which acquired a large number of shares in the two companies and gained a certain degree of voting rights and controlling stake, was named Skynet!

As Chu Zhu watched, her expression suddenly froze.

"The impact of the highly virulent avian influenza is far beyond my imagination! Ninety percent of the chickens died. The most outrageous thing is that, according to scientific research, people who have a higher proportion of chicken or eggs in their diet are more likely to contract the highly virulent avian influenza."

Eggs and chicken that are not fully cooked may harbor the risk of avian influenza.

And they are not only transmitted through food, but also through respiration and water... Moreover, the incubation period of the new avian influenza exceeds 25 days! It is completely undetectable during the incubation period.

This has had an unimaginable and enormous impact on society today! People are filled with fear and anxiety!

"However, it must be admitted that it is precisely because of the severe outbreak of avian flu that human-to-human contact has been cut off, so entertainment companies such as short dramas, including artificial intelligence company Z, have ushered in a leapfrog development!"

"I started research on avian influenza. Because of the auxiliary role of Z-Terror Intelligence in biomedicine, I soon came into contact with a genius in biology: Guan Qianyu! Her teacher is that famous academician of biology."

"...Something's not right. Bird flu has been spreading worldwide for over four months. I originally thought that Skynet would quickly roll out a vaccine and then carry out their shady dealings..."

However, on this timeline, they remained remarkably stable from beginning to end!

"No, could it be because my C and Z companies have made tremendous progress in this area! And they've made huge profits through the international service company, so they have no intention of treating the disease at all? If that's the case... I'm considering whether to produce a vaccine based on the formula my good brother brought out!"

Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched incessantly; he had finally figured out the inside story. Analyzing it from this perspective, perhaps… one couldn't blame his brother for being too careless! He was simply forced into it.

Chu Zhu watched with a sigh as her good brother embarked on that path of no return.

However, he was also wondering about something: "But Guan Qianyu... an academician's apprentice? To be called a genius by my good friend... that must be quite remarkable, right? I just don't know how old she is. But no matter how I think about it, she can't be young, right? Maybe... I should look into her information later!"

One idea after another flashed through Chu Zhu's mind. Then... as he looked, his gaze froze.

"Another outbreak of highly virulent avian influenza and the ensuing zombie crisis were an unimaginable setback for me..."

My ally Zhao Shao, my wife Guan Qianyu, died because of this; my parents died because of this… My good brother Lin Xia was left with a disability in his lower body because of this! Even his parents died because of this…

Too many people have died because of this!

Lin Xia never blamed me. He even comforted me, saying that he knew why I made that decision back then, and that he himself was one of the collaborators at the time.

If the bird flu hadn't been contained back then, his parents might have died long ago! It's a miracle they're still alive.

But I'd rather he yell at me! Aren't I a little ridiculous? I thought I could save everything, but now it seems it was all just wishful thinking! The more you crave a perfect final victory, the more difficult and painful the end becomes.

"I apologized to the public! Looking at all those insults directed at me, I actually felt a little relieved and gratified... They deserved to be insulted!"

"The Russian side judged me harshly, but to my surprise, my hometown and the United States both supported me this time! Even though I disagreed with them, didn't submit any application, and went abroad directly when almost all my relatives and friends had died... it really scared a lot of people! But my hometown still comforted me later."

Their judgments were unanimous: even with such devastating consequences, the consequences of allowing the avian flu to spread unchecked... might have been even worse!
In any case, the fact that the outbreak of avian flu was delayed for more than a decade allowed the benefits of this artificial intelligence technology revolution to be fully realized! The fact that it wasn't interrupted... is the best thing.

Of course, I later learned from Lin Xia that there were still many doubts and concerns circulating within the system back home. Many people wondered if it was possible that I had started this disaster. However, this was a very small-scale rumor! The bigwigs at the top were still clear-headed.

Firstly, bird flu originated from the Bald Eagles outbreak in 2005; secondly, almost all my relatives and friends have died! If I were truly the mastermind, unless I were insane, I would never do such a thing.

Chu Zhu: "..."

He was now feeling a little sorry for his good brother! No wonder, he had been wondering before that as a top ten giant in the world, with deep connections to the Golden Dawn and his hometown, and even Z... how could he be insulted if he didn't want to?
Feelings... it was intentional! I just wanted to be scolded to relieve my inner pain!
Chu Zhu sighed. This also explains, on another level, why Nuwa Seventeen still possessed his authority even after doing such a thing!
Of course, the most crucial issue for Chu Zhu at present is...

"??? Who is Guan Qianyu's mother?!" Chu Zhu felt a chill run down her spine.

Isn't this that biology expert? And the student of an academician, a big name in biology? Shouldn't he be in his thirties, forties, or fifties? Is it the same person? Or is it just a coincidence?!

Goodness, a good bro shouldn't be this sexually frustrated, right?

You're not short of money or status! And... when did you get married?!
"Is there no trust left between us?! You didn't even tell me you were getting married... Do you know how shocked I was by this sudden announcement?" Chu Zhu's expression shifted rapidly. Your wife died and you only told him then?!
A thousand words stuck in Chu Zhu's throat, finally coalescing into one word: "Damn!"
