Chapter 499: Lucia's New Crisis
At this time, in the distant capital of Lucia, the situation was much worse than that in Yan Country, and many places could only be described as hell on earth.
Due to the spread of the epidemic, although Lucia has a relatively complete shelter system, it now does not have enough manpower to operate them. Food, heating, and medical care have encountered serious manpower shortages.
This has led to the difficulties of heating interruption, insufficient food supply, and the inability to deal with and treat the most serious patients in a timely manner.
The interruption of heating and insufficient food supply are still a temporary dilemma. After all, in this environment, everyone can still endure temporary difficulties.
However, the problems caused by the inability to receive timely treatment are extremely serious.
The spread of the epidemic itself is very likely to cause panic. Even before the disaster, if an epidemic prevails in the city, even if the hospital has sufficient ability to treat it, it is very likely to cause panic and fear in the crowd, leading to the rush to buy daily necessities, medicines, and even riots.
Not to mention now, when the external environment is extremely harsh and everyone cannot leave the door, trapped in a shelter is equivalent to being placed in a closed environment.
If there are no infected people, everyone's emotions can remain relatively stable. After all, a closed environment can also comfort yourself and prevent the infected people from entering.
But if the infection breaks out in a closed shelter...
Have you ever seen zombies in zombie films come out of the cage? In despair, in order to seek a way out, people will be more terrifying than zombies when they are pushed to their limits.
In the current capital of Lucia, there are already epidemics spreading in various shelters, and a considerable number of them are very serious.
The spread of the epidemic has exceeded Lucia's official control. Even the medical system itself has a large number of infected people, and there is no way to effectively treat patients and curb the spread of the epidemic.
The medical team sent by Yan Country has limited manpower and resources, so it is even more difficult to play any role. Although it has admitted some patients and assisted Lucia's doctors in hard work to treat the infected, the medical team with limited strength can only provide limited help to Lucia.
If the bucket is dropped, it won't help much.
They are more about ensuring the health of the members of the two arks, Xu Dog and Hai Pig, and at the same time collecting virus strains to produce vaccines.
The atmosphere of despair is now spreading in the capital of Lucia, and hell is everywhere.
It's like a powder barrel that has ignited the lead. When will it explode, it only depends on when the lead is burned out.
However, as Murphy's Theorem said, if there are two or more ways to do something, and one of the choices will lead to disaster, someone will definitely make this choice.
In such extreme situations, some people chose a more extreme way. A riot occurred in a shelter in Lucia, where the infection was not particularly serious, and swept other shelters faster than the spread of the epidemic, causing the situation in the Lucia capital to suddenly fall into extreme chaos.
This cannot be said to be a wrong choice. After all, under the multiple oppression of epidemics, hunger and cold, it is normal for people to choose the most extreme way to burst out their emotions, but in the current situation, it is tantamount to the worst choice.
Now everything about Lucia is in despair and chaos, and Lucia's official can only try to maintain the situation and not completely collapse. If effective treatment for infected people can be provided and vaccines can be created, or the Yan Kingdom can draw more power to help Lucia, there is still a glimmer of hope.
But at this time, the riots completely lead to the collapse of the order that could have lasted for a period of time, which is like pushing everything into the abyss.
The loss of order and leads everything to chaos. The fragile situation that was still under maintenance completely collapsed. The official system and medical power that was still working were lost. What awaits Lucia would only die in the midst of illness and cold.
No one has tried to treat infected people, no one has tried to maintain food distribution, no one has provided various guarantees for shelters...
Everything is in disorder and chaos, people smash everything they see, destroy, violence, chaos, and they are destroying everything that could have provided them with hope for survival.
However, everyone fell into a fever, and the rational people tried to stop it, but were knocked down and trampled on countless feet.
No one can stop the crazi and surging crowds in chaos, and no one can stop it.
Even if Lucia's leaders now use the army, they only curb the spread of riots and cannot prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
After all, even the army is infected by epidemics. When a large number of soldiers are sick, they are also facing the dilemma of insufficient manpower.
Unless Lucia's leaders order the army to attack the rioters, the little army that Lucia can now mobilize will be powerless to stop the riot.
However, even though the rioters could not break through the army, the impact of the rioters still spread, and more areas were trapped in riots, making Lucia's already stretched official tired of dealing with it.
Not only that, some of the rioters also launched an attack on the medical team sent by Yan State, intending to seize the two arks sent by Yan State.
Fortunately, the two arks did not land after the epidemic spread. In the face of riots, they promptly distanced themselves from the ground, so they were not affected.
But there were still some patients admitted on the ark, and some rescue team members at Lucia's medical institutions were trapped on the ground.
Under such circumstances, it is obvious that the two arks could not take off directly and leave. They must at least rescue the trapped rescue team members.
However, although the rescue team carries a certain amount of force, some of the soldiers brought by the soldiers need to stay on the ark to protect the safety of the ark, while the other part has gone to Lucia's medical institution with the members of the rescue team.
Originally they were going to protect the safety of these rescue team members, but now they are trapped on the ground together.
Faced with such a dilemma, asking Lucia for help can no longer solve the problem. After discussing with the captain of the two arks, they still sent a message to the country for help.
