Chapter 572 The Instigator
Xinghe year 3, November 11th.
Eight days have passed since the Gray Lake jailbreak.
Adam, who ran away from Gray Lake Town, was driving a pickup truck near Jackson Town, Tennessee.
These days, he has placed 5 more of the remaining 8 test tubes, and the placement locations are all in the rivers and forests along the way.
The pickup truck passed a highway bridge, and when he saw the unfrozen tributary of the Mississippi River, an uncontrollable look of madness emerged on his face.
After parking the car on the side of the highway bridge, he looked around and found that there were no vehicles or people nearby. He quickly put on his gas mask, opened a test tube, and poured the solution in the test tube into the rolling river water.
"Go! With my hatred, bury humanity completely! Hahahaha..."
Throwing down the test tube, he quickly got into the car and continued driving to his next destination.
Although the Hilltop City Council was aware that the Gray Lake Laboratory's freezer had been stolen, it also ordered the FBI to investigate as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, not all the prisoners stayed in Gray Lake Town. Instead, they looted a lot of supplies and quickly fled in all directions.
This situation resulted in the FBI being unable to lock on to all of their targets at once, and they could only capture them one by one.
The Sapiens Company is also secretly investigating the matter. Because of the winter, the Great Lakes Plains and the northern Mississippi Plains are covered with ice and snow, which is not conducive to the activities of insects. Now they can only rely on investigators lurking in the mountains and wilderness to investigate the matter personally.
During this delay, Adam has already put in a lot of test tubes along the way.
Especially as he drove south, although the weather in southern America became cold, some rivers did not freeze, which caused the contents of the test tube to flow rapidly along the river and spread to the entire lower reaches of the Mississippi River.
November 17th.
Despite his caution, Adam still became infected with the contents of the test tube.
He was so hot that he had to park his pickup truck on a small town street next to the highway.
After taking a sip of Coke, his vision became a little blurry, and Adam knew that this was a symptom of a high fever.
In less than 20 hours, as the high fever continued to persist, dense blisters appeared on his arms and face.
"Am I going to die? Huhu..."
Adam, who was beginning to become somewhat confused, looked out the car window and saw the sky covered with dark clouds.
"That's fine... I'll go to hell... and wait for you damned ones..."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and his breathing became fainter and fainter.
It was not until two days later that an old man passing by saw Adam lying in the car. He knocked on the window for a few minutes but still got no response, so the old man quickly called 911.
Several local detectives quickly arrived at the scene.
"Captain Ball, this guy is not responding and judging by the license plate, this is a stolen car."
Bauer took a look at the situation and ordered, "Smash the car window first!"
"OK."
The window-breaking hammer smashed the car window glass in an instant.
The agents all held their pistols, aimed at Adam who was lying dead in the driver's seat, and slowly opened the car door.
A brave agent approached Adam cautiously. Because it was cold these days, Adam's body had not yet started to stink.
"Boss, this guy is dead..."
The detective said as he looked through Adam's body. He then saw Adam's face full of blisters. The blisters were oozing with pus, which made him feel extremely nauseous: "Ugh... So disgusting..."
However, Bauer's expression changed slightly: "Jin, don't touch the body anymore, everyone else quickly retreat..."
It's too late.
The moment they opened the car door, the stuff was spreading.
Although Ball acted quickly, he closed the car door again, set up the cordon again, and brought a lot of disinfectant for spraying and washing hands.
But those little things have already taken root in their bodies.
The next day, CDC experts arrived at the local area.
Hundreds of residents in the town have developed fever and blisters, including the detectives who examined Adam's body yesterday.
When several CDC experts saw this scene and the clinical symptoms of a group of residents, they were frightened and at a loss, and quickly sent an emergency request for help to the CDC headquarters in Atlanta.
The CDC headquarters also knew that the matter was serious, and while reporting the situation to the Hilltop City Council, it was also formulating an emergency plan.
However, before the CDC headquarters could come up with a response plan, patients with fever and chickenpox appeared in more than a dozen areas throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Mississippi River, and the number of cases suddenly exceeded 10,000.
At this time, all the big families of the Hilltop City Council had quickly entered the secretly built small ecosystem for refuge.
Because they already know what is going on with these patients.
After all, when the Gray Lake Laboratory was robbed, the Knights knew what was stolen through archival materials.
…
Africa, Oasis City of Atlon.
Inside Pangu Realm.
Li Qingye received Chen Jianxiong's urgent report as soon as possible.
He looked at the data in his hands, especially some cases that had occurred along the northeastern coast of Aztec, from which samples had been extracted and their genetic sequences quickly analyzed.
As a top biologist, Li Qingye saw through the origin of this thing at a glance: "Monkeypox... AIDS... and..."
A group of biologists working in the Pangaea World were also looking through the data.
One of the biologists frowned and said, "This thing is so scary. Although it won't kill you all at once, it will repeatedly attack the immune system and reproductive system, causing the patient to completely lose their reproductive ability."
"Haha, the first person to do this will have no consequences? It's all your own fault." Another biologist sneered.
“We will also be affected and must find ways to curb the spread.”
"How can we contain it? This thing can be spread through water and can also be spread through the air over a short distance. It is impossible to prevent it, unless we declare a state of emergency and have all employees enter a small ecosystem."
"Let the branches in Central America start using bio-armor first! At least it can block it."
In fact, there is no need for them to remind you. At this time, all branches across Central America require employees to wear biological armor that covers their entire body surface when working outside.
When returning to the small ecosystem, only after comprehensive disinfection are people allowed to remove the biological armor covering and move around inside the small ecosystem.
Li Qingye was also speechless after America's self-explosion.
In order to avoid employee problems in the company, he had to take time out to form a special response team, and he himself participated in the scientific research.
However, due to temperature reasons, super monkeypox infections have not yet occurred in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
But it's only a matter of time.
After all, this thing can be transmitted through water, and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans cannot block it.
Although Sapiens Inc. is eager for the free world to be destroyed, it still sends a warning to the whole world, asking other regions to prepare quickly and deal with the next fatal impact.
North America was suddenly isolated.
All flights and sea transport have come to a halt.
Because the whole world has received relevant information, the number of patients in North America is rapidly increasing, with hundreds of thousands of new cases a day, which is simply terrifying.
Sapiens has directly and completely suspended the recruitment of workers from North America.
Even though super monkeypox can be treated with antibiotics and antipyretics, its mortality rate is very low.
However, its sequelae are extremely horrific. The patient's reproductive system is directly destroyed and there is serious disfigurement, which is even more terrifying than direct death.
