A US military staff officer said to Schwarzkov with a gray and depressed face: "We have set up a defense line outside the camp of the 3rd Armored Division and deployed defensive personnel. So far, two troops have been beaten back. Following the attack by those from the 3rd Armored Division, the situation has been basically brought under control.¡±
Schwarzkov nodded and did not speak to the staff officer again. Instead, he looked around at the top commanders of the multinational forces present and said: "We don't understand what happened yet, but this kind of thing must not be spread. Once the news If there is any leakage, our previous victory may be overturned in a moment, Saddam Hussein may also rekindle his ambitions, and by then our situation will become even worse.¡±
The deputy commander of the multinational force, Chinese Major General Zhang Wannian, shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Even if we can cover up the rebellion of an entire division for a while, we still have to give an explanation in the end. It can't just pass like this.
Another American general was furious when he heard the word "rebellion" and argued: "We still don't know what happened there, so any arbitrary conclusion is wrong."
Zhang Wannian was more graceful, nodded and said: "My mistake."
Schwarzkoff turned to another middle-aged man who didn¡¯t look like a soldier and asked: ¡°Dr. Klein, has your medical team determined what exactly happened?¡±
As a medical consultant to the multinational forces, Dr. Klein still has a relatively strong say. He said: "What we can confirm now is that this is a virus that is very similar to rabies, but it has a shorter incubation period and is more dangerous than rabies. , highly contagious, this virus has exceeded our usual understanding of viruses in the medical and biological fields, and it is extremely dangerous.¡±
Schwarzkoff continued: "I know it is dangerous, so tell me, how does this virus spread?"
"We have interviewed witnesses and people who have experienced it. According to their accounts, we speculate that this virus should be spread through bodily fluids. People with this virus will lose their minds and then attack anyone who does not have the virus and will themselves of body fluids into the other party¡¯s human system.¡±
Hearing this, several generals present showed disgusting expressions.
Dr. Klein added: "We are still not sure how a simple living organism like a virus, which is only composed of nucleic acid molecules and proteins, can control a complex living organism like a human being. If we can understand the mystery, I think It will have a significant promotion effect on the development of life sciences.¡±
Schwarzkopf's face dropped and he said: "I don't care how revolutionary it is, but now this virus has harmed our nearly one division and thousands of soldiers loyal to the United States, turning them into puppets of the devil. In order to To protect other people, we even had to shoot these fine young men. This feeling is very painful for me, you know?"
Dr. Klein immediately put away his technical geek expression and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand, Mr. Commander, this is a complete tragedy, but I firmly believe that what you did is right. If you don't stop them, The virus will be carried by them to the entire camp, and even spread to the entire Middle East, and finally the whole world. Human beings now have no resistance to this virus. What we are facing is likely to be no less than the Black Death and the Spanish Flu. This kind of crisis, oh no, it is almost certain that if this virus spreads to the whole world, mankind will not only face a great plague, but may even be extinct. "
The Black Death and the Spanish Flu were both the most lethal plague events in history. The former spanned the Middle Ages, and an estimated 7.56 million people died from the Black Death, while the Spanish Flu killed 260,000 people. Compared with some countries, The population is even larger. Such a horizontal contrast made the people present even more nervous.
Klein looked at Schwarzkov with burning eyes and said: "Mr. Commander, even though you are very reluctant now, before we develop a vaccine that can effectively treat this disease, the people who have been locked up by us will also It is also a vector for spreading viruses and a potential murderer to destroy the world. No matter what method is used, it is necessary."
Schwarzkopf is not stupid. He cannot take such responsibility on himself. He said ambiguously: "This situation is no longer a matter of our group of soldiers. If I want to report it to the White House, it must be done by Mr. President." Make a decision.¡±
Of course, the multinational force is not limited to the United States. Schwarzkov said to Zhang Wannian: "I would also like to trouble you, Zhang, to pass this important information back to your motherland. I think the support of a powerful country in this regard and the sincere cooperation of multiple countries are the key to the multi-national force." Our best chance of getting through this crisis."
Zhang Wannian smiled and said: "I can't agree with you more" (English word order)
Soon the news spread back to China. Unlike the United States, where all matters are decided by the White House, in China, any abnormal and bizarre affairs are actually decided by the White House.Qi Yimingguan, after the senior management learned that such a serious incident had occurred, they first wrote a few big words "Forward to Comrade Qi Jingren for reading", which was highly similar to the Weibo forwarding of later generations.
Qi Yiming received the news in the office of Xiangshan Strategic Bureau Base, and thought of many things almost instantly.
"This mindless plague outbreak was definitely premeditated and targeted. It should be a special biochemical weapon." Qi Yiming concluded on the spot.
Jacqueline, who originally planned to come here to be gentle with Qi Yiming, saw that the man had lost interest and was quite unhappy, but she followed his words and said: "Biological and chemical weapons? So the Iraqis did it?"
"The people who carried out this operation should be Iraqis, but I don't think such high-end biological and chemical weapons would be produced by Iraq itself. This is not sarin gas or mustard gas. Its significance may be epoch-making. If I am not wrong, these Although viruses are very simple, they have created a collective consciousness in a way that is different from all living things we have known before."
Jacqueline asked curiously: "Then where do you think this virus came from? Is it not a product of natural mutation?"
Qi Yiming smiled and said: "Natural mutation? It took billions of years for fungi and algae plants to evolve from low-level life to humans. Without human intervention, how could such a thing that has almost acquired a completely new life form be possible? It¡¯s so easy to mutate naturally.¡±
"Who did that?"
Qi Yiming sneered and said: "Our intelligence agency has learned very early that a large part of Iraq's chemical weapons technology and resources come from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's deepest immersion in this aspect is naturally those monsters in the Mystic Palace. People, before we interrogated Lenings, he confessed that there is a highly contagious and dangerous zombie virus in the Mysterious Palace. Although this new virus will not turn people into zombies, it is also very dangerous, so if there is no such thing behind this The shadow of Gregory Kirk makes me feel strange."
Jacqueline was even more confused and asked: "If it is really Kirk, what are the benefits of doing this?
Qi Yiming said: "Does Kirk's work need to be measured by ordinary people's thoughts? But wherever he appears, it will naturally be very troublesome. Let's take this matter as an example. If the spread of the virus is not controlled, there will be no To obtain a vaccine that can prevent viruses, our entire human civilization may be destroyed. However, our base is still a little weak in this regard. I am afraid we need help. The Black Technology Center has made more achievements in this area, Zhao. The academician has also developed super plants through research on alien technology. I think if he takes action again, it is not unreasonable to use alien technology to suppress this plague. "
Jacqueline nodded and said, "Then I'll inform Ye Yaozi and let her contact the Black Technology Research Center."
She thought for a while and then said: "But we still have 100,000 soldiers left in the Middle East. Should we withdraw them?"
Qi Yiming shook his head, "The more it is at this time, the less likely it is that the multinational force will bring back any troops. No one knows how contagious the virus is and how long the incubation period is, so the troops there may be potential The source of infection, if they are allowed to return home hastily, it may cause more serious spread of the virus, and no one can bear this responsibility.
Now we can only keep them there, but various protective measures must be taken. We need to start the delivery of a batch of emergency biochemical protective suits and other similar resources to ensure that our soldiers can ensure absolute safety in the war zone. Safe until this thing blows over. "
Jacqueline was still very worried and said: "Will such a terrible plague be able to pass? If not, then this may be the last time for mankind."
Qi Yiming stood up, hugged this hot beauty slightly, smelled the fragrance of her blond hair, and gently comforted her: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of difficulty, we can get through it. Moreover, Kirk Since he dares to release this thing, it means that he has mastered the method of curing this virus. Kirk is a crazy guy, but his madness is also logical, and he will never do anything that has no room for maneuver. matter."
Jacqueline smiled and said: "You have never seen this pervert, but you sound like you know him very well."
Qi Yiming sighed and said: "Things like antisocial personality and high-IQ crime are actually somewhat similar. There are even some crazy parts in my own personality, but they are not as obvious as Kirk's. ¡±
Jacqueline said slyly: "So there is a big pervert living in your heart?"
