"Mr. Tang, you are so anxious to find me out, but what happened?" After leaving the hall and reaching a deserted place, Zhuang Lin looked at Tang Zhengyan and asked.

Tang Zhengyan stood still and turned back. The expression on his face became more solemn. It seemed that something big had happened.

"Just half a month ago, we opened a medical clinic in the southwest mountainous area and received a patient. At first, this person was just agitated and had difficulty breathing. But after a while, his skin was rapidly dehydrated.

, from skin to muscles, dries quickly

Withered and shriveled, his skin color changed from yellow to pale white, with dense black spots on it, and his whole body also became extremely irritable, as if he had rabies, biting and scratching the living creatures around him.

"Tang Zhengyan took a deep breath and said.

After saying this, Tang Zhengyan paused for a moment, and Zhuang Lin next to him also frowned.

"Originally, we thought this was just an isolated case, but ten days ago, after our people entered the southwest mountainous area, they discovered several patients suffering from the same illness. These people were all like walking zombies.

Generally, he is ignorant, bites and scratches every creature he sees, and is extremely bloodthirsty." Tang Zhengyan continued.

"Any person or animal that is scratched or bitten by these patients will inevitably become sick, and their bodies will quickly wither and wither. Within three hours, they will turn into zombie-like ghosts."

After listening to Tang Zhengyan's words, even Zhuang Lin couldn't help but gasp. Even if he was well-informed about such a disease, he had never heard of it before.

"This should be a virus. Half a month has passed. Have you found any drugs for it?" From the patient's symptoms and transmission methods described by Tang Zhengyan, it can be easily concluded that this is an unknown virus.

It's just that the way the virus spreads is a bit horrifying.

Tang Zhengyan looked sad and shook his head feebly. His mood was extremely low. It seemed that the situation was already very serious.

Looking at Tang Zhengyan who was in a depressed mood, Zhuang Lin finally understood the reason why the master of the Shennong Sect invited him. Obviously, the Sanyin and the Five Sects, including the Shennong Sect, were helpless against this unknown virus.

"In such a serious matter, the government should have already intervened. So, has the government found anything? At the very least, has it been clear where the virus came from?" After pondering for a while, Zhuang Lin continued.

asked.

"Well, as early as ten days ago, we had informed the top government officials of the whole matter through special channels. Government personnel also arrived at the scene that day. The Southwest Local Government and the Southwest Military Region fully cooperated, but so far,

, the source of the virus has not yet been found." Tang Zhengyan shook his head and said.

"What about the laboratory? Have the results of the analysis of this virus come out?" Zhuang Lin frowned even more tightly. More than ten days have passed, but the source of the virus has not yet been found. The situation is not optimistic.

.

"The original pathogen was transferred to the laboratory of Huaqing University very early, but even with the help of the most advanced instruments, it was still not possible to successfully analyze the components of the virus." Tang Zhengyan's answer completely eliminated the remaining doubts in Zhuang Lin's heart.

hope.

Although China's medical technology level is lower than that of some of the top Western countries, the difference is very limited. On a global scale, it is also first-rate, especially the medical laboratory of Huaqing University, whose technical level is as good as

The equipment is comparable to the top medical institutions in the world.

With the help of the Huaqing University laboratory, it took more than ten days to analyze the components of this virus. It can only show that the composition of this virus is extremely complex.

The more complex the composition of the virus, the stronger its ability to survive and reproduce. This makes it more difficult to control and completely eliminate the virus.

The inability to find the source of the virus and the inability to analyze its components means that an effective agent against this toxin cannot be developed in a short period of time. In this case, the only way is to isolate the affected area.

, try to prevent the spread of the virus as much as possible, but this also treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

"Now, although the military has infiltrated the entire mountainous area, it cannot find a way to completely solve the virus. Doing so is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst. It won't take long for the virus to spread out of the mountainous area. By then, it will be

A big disaster." Tang Zhengyan said with a solemn expression and a low voice.

"I want to know if this virus can also infect animals?" Zhuang Lin's biggest worry is that animals will also be infected after being attacked by patients. In that case, the situation will be really dangerous.

"Well, we have found several animals infected with this type of virus, including hares and pheasants." Tang Zhengyan nodded.

After receiving Tang Zhengyan's reply, Zhuang Lin's heart sank to the bottom. Even wild animals are not immune to a virus. How terrifying is the breeding and transmission ability of this virus?

"Has the government formulated a response plan?" After pondering for a long time, Zhuang Lin raised his head and looked at Tang Zhengyan and asked.

The quickest plan is that if the most dangerous time really comes, the government should have formulated a corresponding plan. It cannot be ruled out that the government will use powerful weapons to wipe out the entire mountainous area.

"Not yet. After all, things haven't reached that point yet. The government still hopes to solve this crisis through conventional means. So far, many well-known domestic doctors and biological and microbiological experts have rushed to the mountainous area.

By the way." Tang Zhengyan shook his head and responded slowly.

"However, I think if we can't find a method or drug to eliminate the virus within a week, the government will probably have to take special measures."

Using violent means to completely wipe out the creatures in a mountainous area is too cruel after all. Doing so will have a very bad negative impact both internationally and domestically. Unless it is at the end of its rope, the government will not

It will be easy to do so.

However, when the end of the mountain is reached, in order to prevent the spread of this virus, the government will definitely use violent means to wipe out all living creatures in the entire mountainous area without hesitation.

"I came to Quancheng this time on the orders of the Sanyin and Five Families to invite Mr. Zhuang to the southwest mountainous area. For the sake of the safety of millions of people in China, I hope Mr. Zhuang will not refuse." Tang Zhengyan said with a solemn expression.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but before I leave, I have to make some arrangements here in Quancheng. Please give me a day. Let's go together tomorrow afternoon." Zhuang Lin nodded in agreement without even thinking about it.
