Chapter 205 Deterioration
Today is destined to be a busy day.
The Security Department held a press conference at noon. In the afternoon, the gate of the epidemic prevention center suddenly became lively again.
Three airboats of the Ministry of Security landed, and more than a dozen fully armed soldiers were martial law around the surrounding area. Even pedestrians passing by the street were quarantined and forced to make them turn around.
Those who don’t know about it thought that there was a source of spiritual pollution inside the epidemic prevention institute and they wanted to be cleared immediately.
Such a big change was naturally informed to Newcastle, the new director of the current epidemic prevention institute.
As for the former director, Grand, was fired by the government because of "physical discomfort".
"what happened?"
Newcast, who received the news, returned from the laboratory. When he drove to the door, he saw a group of soldiers waiting for him. He also thought that something was wrong with the epidemic prevention center, so he hurriedly asked his secretary.
Noting the eyes of the staff of the epidemic prevention center, the captain in charge of this operation discovered him while getting off the car in Newcastle. While walking forward quickly, he signaled the latter to go to the street to talk in detail.
"Mr. Newcastle, an accident occurred in the No. 7 community. Some soldiers who participated in the arrest operation last night had mental problems... The hue value suddenly rose from normal clearness to turbidity, and we want to know the reason."
"This is the epidemic prevention institute. You should go to the Archaeology Association for what you said. Haven't we started working with them?"
After listening to the soldiers' reports, Newcastle responded in surprise that the epidemic prevention institute is not a sanatorium, and the increase in the color value of the soldiers in the security department has nothing to do with them.
"No, this time the situation is different. The symptoms of soldiers with abnormal hue value are the same as those of the infected. They not only have hallucinations, but also claim that they have seen another world. The problem is that they have not contacted any infected person at all, but are just approaching the C6 Commercial Street. There is also no possibility of gas infection, because there was no problem with the other soldiers present at that time."
A brief description of what happened not long ago, the captain turned sideways and pointed at the airship docked at the door of the epidemic prevention center, lowered his voice and continued,
"Minister Burwo issued the order to send all patients to you. As you said, the Archaeology Association will send a group of people to help soon. On the one hand, it is hoped to find the reason for the abnormal color of the soldiers. On the other hand, if things are difficult to turn around, these people can be treated as infected bodies and support the laboratory's vaccine development work."
"These people are all elites trained by the Ministry of Security and legal citizens of Qianfan City. Are you not afraid of doing this..."
The captain's implicit meaning Newcastle understood, but understanding did not mean that he could accept it. He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
Does Qianfan City still have room to bargain now?
"For Qianfan City, we can accept the appropriate sacrifice. This is the minister's original words!"
Without too much explanation, it was the order of the Supreme Chief of the Security Department, and he had no reason to violate it. It was a waste of time to make any arguments here.
"I understand. We will take over these people. Can you help send them to the laboratory of the epidemic prevention institute?"
There is not much entanglement. No matter what, if you want to cure these people or use them for other purposes, you still have to go to the laboratory first.
"I need to ask for instructions. The situation in community No. 7 is not optimistic."
In the past, Newcast's request would have been met, but the security department's staff is really tight at the moment.
“The problem with the commercial street is serious?”
Noting the soldier's embarrassed look, Newcast frowned. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the soldier's answer, but that Newcast realized from the other party's reaction that the situation might be much more complicated than he thought.
This is indeed the case.
......
By the time Virginia brought people to the scene, the originally planned blockade area had already begun to extend to the surrounding two blocks with the commercial street as the center.
The street lights have already lit up, and the streets in the snow seem to be normal at first glance. The neon light projected by the light signs on both sides are entangled with the orange-yellow light of the street lights, which is no different from usual. It is nothing more than empty, so that the rustling sounds from the evening breeze blows by people are heard.
However, at this time, people from both the Qianfancheng Government and the Archaeological Association looked at that area with a deep sense of fear.
"I need to know the general scope of mental pollution when testing the situation on the scene, and pay attention to safety. No one is allowed to enter the blockade area directly. Someone from the security department has been affected when they are fully prepared."
Standing next to the airboat, Virginia instructed the association's investigators that she did not want any further personnel damage before the arrival of the headquarters' support force.
"Ms., there is a request for communication from the Minister of Garrison."
“Connect.”
He glanced at the location of the supporting troops of the Security Department and did not see Bulvo, and he couldn't help but sneer.
"Sir Burwo seems to be very busy. You can't even see such a big thing in the No. 7 community."
He said lukewarmly that Virginia was not surprised that the minister had been huddled in the security department and did not move.
"I have to explain the situation to the high-level parliament. I cannot go to the scene to command for the time being. I have ordered them to obey your order. If someone disobeys the order, you can deal with it freely!"
Bulwo, who was staying in the office at this time, was extremely earnest, and he meant to leave everything to Virginia for handling.
A few minutes ago, he just watched the real-time video that was sent back when the troops stationed in C6 Commercial Street were attacked... In fact, it cannot be called an attack at all, because from beginning to end, the soldiers were killing each other!
If he had appeared there at that time, would the guns in the soldiers aimed at him?
With this idea, Bulvo quickly found a street intersection for himself.
Leave professional matters to experts. Instead of watching by yourself, it is better to just let the branch president of the Archaeology Association coordinate the overall situation. This is called hiring people without doubt.
Anyway, the nature of the Archaeological Association determines that no matter how outstanding Virginia does, it is impossible for him to compete for power and profit!
"I understand what you mean. There are still many things to deal with here. Please contact me if you have any."
Virginia didn't care what Bulvo was thinking now. After hanging up the communication, he walked straight to the guard team.
First, he told the soldiers directly that before she received the order issued by her in person, anyone who entered the blockade area without permission would be classified as accomplices of the Weatherbus organization. Then, through the security department system, he began to adjust the blockade status of the two intersections of the No. 37 community and No. 23 community, and without exception, expanded the scope and evacuated the people.
Compared with the Qianfancheng government, which has many concerns, Virginia takes care of the affairs entirely from the perspective of people's safety and how to solve the current difficulties, so it has no intention of scruples about the government's face.
After completing a series of arrangements, Virginia put his attention back to the area in front of him, and the association's investigators had already completed the preliminary test and started returning.
But the conclusion they gave was something Virginia never expected.
"We tried the testing props used in various environments within the association and even the soul stones you hold. The result was that everything in this area was normal and there was no mental pollution at all... President, we suspect that the Ubobuna organization used some means to affect the mental state of the soldiers just now, rather than the problem in the commercial street."
The investigator has compared the audition stick for handheld recording detection data several times, but has never found any abnormalities.
"I agree with this view. The hue pollution range of the intersection in Community No. 23 and Community No. 37 is limited to a radius of 10 meters. The location of the security forces where the accident occurred just now is nearly 100 meters away from the Bone Tree. After only one night, the pollution range expanded nearly 10 times. This phenomenon is obviously abnormal."
The investigators on the other side also agreed with the above statement. As soon as there was a problem in Community No. 7, the Archaeology Association began to pay attention to the situation in Community No. 23 and Community No. 27. Only Community No. 7 had an accident, which made people have to doubt its particularity.
Chapter completed!
