Chapter 93 The Only Antidote - G Gene
The evacuation operation was successfully completed and the whole country cheered, but they did not know that a greater disaster was about to hit the Chinese people.
After completing the remaining tasks in Country Y, Liao Xu prepared to return to the capital to meet his family.
As soon as I arrived in the capital, I found that shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies... were all emptied out, and from time to time I could hear the screams and shouts of the crowd, showing the panic.
Liao Xu frowned and wanted to call the Su family, but before he could get through, he received an emergency call from the ZW organization.
——"Understand the situation in the imperial capital, investigate the source of the virus, isolate and treat it, and completely blockade the imperial capital if necessary!"
Liao Xu rushed to the Imperial Capital Hospital.
"What's going on?"
"Comrade, a new virus has been discovered recently. It's highly contagious and has a very high mortality rate. Currently, there's no way to treat it except to temporarily isolate and treat it to prevent more people from being harmed."
“How many patients?”
"There are hundreds of patients at present, and several wards are full. Several are already on ventilators and are in the intensive care unit." The person in charge reported seriously.
"The situation is too urgent. We are completely short of staff. Even the retired doctors have been called back!" The accompanying doctor at the side couldn't help but interrupt.
"I need to understand the basics."
"We'll take you there."
Liao Xu, wearing protective clothing, walked into the ward under the guidance of the doctor.
The patients were pale, had severe coughs, some even coughed up blood, some had fever and vomiting, and some had severe diarrhea... The various conditions were complex and changeable, with no pattern at all.
"Comrade, this is one of the intensive care units."
Liao Xu looked over and saw that the intensive care unit was different from the ordinary ward. The glass window design allowed doctors to keep an eye on the patient's condition at any time, but they didn't have to go in person often, which provided protection for both parties.
Through the glass window, one could see two women lying on two beds, already on ventilators. The ECG monitor was beeping, and the ECG frequency displayed on it was fluctuating violently, sometimes high and sometimes low. The situation was not optimistic.
The moment he saw the two ladies on the bed, Liao Xu's eyes widened unconsciously, cold sweat broke out, and his breathing became rapid.
"What's their situation? Is there nothing we can do?"
"He is a critically ill patient. We have immediately handed over the task of researching the virus to Mr. Lin's medical research team. There is no solution yet." The person in charge sighed deeply and whispered helplessly.
A lady on the hospital bed seemed to feel something and opened her eyes with difficulty. She looked out the glass window. Her face could not be seen through the protective suit, but the pair of phoenix eyes that were exposed were enough to tell her that she was back!
"Xuxu, you're back." Anya said weakly. As she spoke, the mist covered the respirator, and it seemed to cast a white shadow over China.
Lin Jian next door still had his eyes tightly closed, his brows furrowed, and he murmured weakly:
"Zhenxing, don't go, don't go... promise me... come back alive..."
"Xuxu, leave quickly, don't get infected with the virus, go away!" An Yarou shouted with all her might out the glass window.
The people outside the glass window couldn't hear clearly, only Liao Xu could guess what she meant.
Liao Xu looked at her mother lying on the hospital bed, who was clearly in great pain but still worried about her. Her eyes reddened unconsciously, but her eyes remained firm. She looked at Anyarou and said in lip language:
"Hold on, trust us!"
The mother and daughter stared at each other for a long time, never expecting that their next meeting would be like this: one outside the ward, the other inside.
Liao Xu looked at him for a long time, and finally turned around and left. He changed his sad expression, quickly adjusted himself, and had a very strong aura.
"Lock down the entire imperial capital and investigate to see if any virus carriers have been missed. Immediately investigate the source of the virus!"
"yes!"
......
"What's the situation now?"
"All those who had contact with the patients have been quarantined, and the relevant scene has been sealed off. The earliest case was the famous Chinese painter Chen Jun who returned from Country M!
He was infected with this unknown virus and held art exhibitions in various places, attracting many famous artists and art lovers.
That's why Anyarou, a painter, and Lin Jian, an art designer, attended the exhibition together and were infected with the virus, and the Su family was blocked and quarantined.
"What's even stranger is that he's a low-key person, yet in just a few days, he's been traveling to multiple locations to hold art exhibitions. The capital is his last stop, and it's also where he'll stay the longest, and where the virus is currently spreading most severely!"
Upon hearing this, Liao Xu frowned and clenched his fists.
"Where is Chen Jun now? Is he under control?"
"He had a fit last night and died."
The clue is broken.
It's so strange.
After thinking it over, Liao Xu decided to go find Lin Wen first.
.......
Medical Research Laboratory in the Imperial Capital of China.
"Child, I didn't expect that you were the one in charge this time. This is the situation when we meet again." Old Lin laughed bitterly and shook his head.
"It's me, Mr. Lin. How much do you know about this virus?"
"This virus is incredibly powerful and can directly cause genetic mutations in the human body, leading to a variety of malignant diseases. It reproduces extremely rapidly, and the normal immune system is simply not capable of resisting it.
The patient may develop from a mild condition to a severe condition within a day and eventually die from the malignant disease caused.
Our current medical technology can inhibit the reproduction of the virus through external intervention, and then eliminate it with external force.
But the human body's genes have been forcibly mutated, and even if the virus is eliminated, there is no way to reverse the situation."
This is the most terrifying thing about this virus. It’s not that it cannot be removed, but that even if it is removed, it is useless!
"Is there really no way out? Are those innocent compatriots just going to die?"
"There is a solution, but the only antidote is related to your grandmother."
"G-gene!"
