Chapter 1360 Serious Consequences
Xiao Peng stroked Anna's face and said, "Anna, you're just imagining things because you're sick, right? We're going to Svalbard and then Norway to get you treated."
But Anna said, "You can't go to Svalbard!"
"Why?" Xiao Peng frowned and looked at Anna.
Anna said lightly: “Xiao, this is really not the flu.”
"Then what is this?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Anna said, "This is a manifestation of anthrax."
As she spoke, she struggled to unbutton her pajamas, revealing her breasts. Xiao Peng frowned, "What's wrong with you? What do you want to do at this hour?"
Anna rolled her eyes at Xiao Peng. "Didn't you notice the subcutaneous edema on my chest? This is a symptom of pulmonary anthrax. I've received training on biological and chemical weapons before. But this type of anthrax is different from what I learned in training. The symptoms aren't as severe, but the impact on the human body is greater. This should be a new type of virus! If we go to Svalbard, we'll definitely have to fly to Longyearbyen. The situation on our ship right now could have serious consequences!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng nodded to show that he understood what Anna meant.
Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard, is a fascinating place. It's the only city in the world where death is legally prohibited. Dying there is a crime. Residents who become seriously ill must evacuate to other areas.
This is because the temperature there is too low. If the remains cannot decompose, the virus may spread. In 1998, some researchers excavated the bodies of several sailors who died here and found the virus of the deadly epidemic of 1918 in the remains. It is still active today!
What if a group of people infected with anthrax traveled to Svalbard? If these viruses were to become prevalent in Svalbard, the consequences could be extremely serious!
Svalbard is home to the world's Arctic scientific research community. More than a dozen countries have their research bases in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. If the anthrax virus really spreads in Svalbard, the consequences would be extremely serious!
Xiao Peng calmed down after hearing this and asked Anna, "Why do you say there's something wrong with Doctor Sun?"
Anna said, "Can you cover me up? It's a bit cold."
Xiao Peng quickly covered her up.
Anna's eyes softened as she spoke slowly, "I've been with your crew for a long time. Although they look like ordinary sailors, they're all probably military veterans, right? You can tell they're all skilled. Then I can't understand why your ship's doctor can't tell the difference between anthrax and the flu."
Xiao Peng hummed and frowned, "How did you get the anthrax?"
Anna said, "I've been thinking about this for a while. I noticed that the first people to show symptoms of infection were basically the ones who took Del to Amsterdam. At that time, only you and Doctor Sun showed no symptoms. But I can't figure this out. First of all, it's been three months since Del was taken to the hospital, and he hasn't had any symptoms during that time. I've never heard of anthrax with such a long incubation period. Also, if Doctor Sun didn't get infected because he had the antibody antidote, then why didn't you?"
She was very weak now, and after saying these words she breathed hard to give herself a rest.
Xiao Peng frowned after hearing this and said, "Let's not talk about why I wasn't infected. Let me ask you a question. Is it possible that there is a virus that doesn't cause any symptoms after infection, but will only break out after encountering special inducements?"
Anna said, "I'm not a virus expert, so I can't answer your question correctly. I can only tell you that according to our intelligence, the Americans are developing technology that uses two harmless viruses to produce harmful effects. After all, they are indeed a global leader in developing biological weapons!"
Don't be fooled by the Americans who accuse this person and that person of developing biological weapons at the United Nations all day long, and even use "washing powder" as so-called "evidence" to start a war. In fact, they are the experts in developing biological weapons. In addition to having military bases around the world, they also have various "biological laboratories" that are actually used for biological weapons research.
Currently, the Americans have established more than 200 so-called "biological laboratories" in various regions around the world.
Even though they use biological and chemical weapons as an excuse to accuse others all day long, in fact they are the only country on the planet that has withdrawn from the Treaty on the Prohibition of Biological and Chemical Weapons. This is just like they use "freedom of navigation" as an excuse to accuse others all day long, but in fact they are not a party to the World Ocean Treaty.
The United States is also one of the few countries in the world that uses biological and chemical weapons in actual combat. The shadow of American biological and chemical weapons has appeared in countries such as the Vietnam War and Afghanistan. Even during the Korean War, more than 900 bombs carrying biological and chemical weapons were dropped on the northeastern region of Daxia.
They have so many "bio-labs," the most notorious of which is Fort Detrick in Maryland. During the global pandemic, people were surprised to find that Fort Detrick had been mysteriously shut down. Due to the impact of the pandemic, the United Nations decided to establish a new inspection system, requiring the United States to open its bio-labs for inspection to ensure that the contracting parties complied with the convention. As a result, there were 183 contracting parties to the convention, and the final vote against was 1:182. The only one opposing the convention was the United States, which even used its veto to withdraw from the convention. It is easy to imagine what they did.
According to an independent intelligence organization in the United States, Fort Detrick currently stores 67 pathogens for which there is currently no vaccine. Any one of them could cause a global epidemic.
Their bio-laboratories around the world are even more numerous than Fort Detrick. For example, they have sixteen in Ukraine. Between 2015 and 2016, the Americans conscripted locals to test an experimental substance, which ultimately resulted in 37 deaths. In 2016, a deadly influenza outbreak in Kharkiv killed dozens of Ukrainian soldiers, and it was ultimately confirmed that the virus had leaked from an American virus lab. Recently, it was discovered that the Americans were transporting biological warfare agents to their biological laboratories in Korea.
Anyway, when it comes to biological and chemical weapons, the Americans are professionals!
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "I remember now. When we went to the hospital that day, Dr. Sun told us not to go. Now it seems there really is a problem... Why did he keep suggesting that we go to Murmansk?"
Anna smiled bitterly and said, "If we were now infected with a new virus for which there is no vaccine, and it really spread to Murmansk, what would become of Russia?"
"hiss……"
