Crisis Management Game

"These medical supplies have not been used for a long time."

Martell picked up an inner protective suit, touched the label on it, then turned to look at Gu Ji, his eyes full of shock, "Ms. Sima, how did you find this place?!"

This time, he even used a title.

Although this is only an integrated laboratory with the most basic functions, it has indeed reached the P4 level.

Don’t forget, this is a barren mountain!

The energy behind being able to secretly build a P4 laboratory in the Himalayas is evident!

In fact, it was also Gu Ji's first time here.

Seeing this, I was equally horrified.

But his face didn't show any signs of it, it was always as dark as water.

"Professor, I just want to know now, can a vaccine be developed here?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

Seeing that Gu Ji didn't want to say more, Martell quickly changed his words and then began to instruct the students to change their clothes.

Although the integrated laboratory of the system is relatively small, it still has a lot of procedures. From the laboratory door to the innermost core area, you have to go through at least four doors.

They are the outermost dressing area, filtration area, buffer area, disinfection area, and the innermost core area.

These glass doors are all interlocking structures.

In other words, if the previous door is not closed properly during the entry process, the next door will definitely not be opened, and the innermost core area is completely under negative pressure, with the pressure reaching minus 40 Pa.

All mechanisms are designed to ensure that indoor air does not flow outside and reduce the risk of virus leakage.

Because the viruses that can be manipulated in the P4 laboratory are extremely deadly.

Gu Ji doesn’t understand virus research.

In addition, there was not enough space in the laboratory, so he did not go in with him. Instead, he observed in the dressing area for a while, then came to wait outside the laboratory.

He turned on the flashlight and carefully observed the walls and ground in the rift valley.

Just like Martell said at the beginning.

No one has been here for a long time. How did the system insert such a P4 laboratory into the valley without anyone noticing?

"Could it be those tool men who did it too?"

The mysterious people with barcodes printed on their wrists that he had met before suddenly appeared in Gu Ji's mind.

This is the only possibility.

Apart from this, he could not think of any other reason that would make any country or force abandon such a precious P4 laboratory.

"laugh……"

In his sleep, Gu Ji heard the sound of a hydraulic shaft turning next to his ears.

His eyes shot open.

Just in time to see the lab door open.

Catherine, wearing a mask, ran out excitedly and shouted: "Success, the teacher successfully isolated the pathogen from the blood sample!"

"So fast?"

Gu Ji raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

It had only been five hours since they entered the laboratory.

It seems that this French virus expert does have two skills.

He immediately followed Catherine into the laboratory.

After going through all the steps such as changing clothes and disinfecting, Gu Ji came to the core area.

At this time, Martell was observing the virus with a microscope and waved to him.

Gu Ji walked over and took a closer look.

In the lavender dyed slice environment, he saw a long strip-shaped object with dense "tentacles" growing on its surface.

"Is this the Gantakana virus?"

"That's right."

Martell nodded, his expression serious.

"Its appearance is very similar to a shortened filamentous virus. When culturing it with serum, I found that its infectivity and virulence are extremely exaggerated. Once it invades the host cell, it will survive and reproduce rapidly;

This proves that its second-generation incidence rate is very high and its damage to cell tissues is also very serious. I have only seen this in the characteristics of the pathogen of Ebola! "

There are four characteristics of pathogens.

Infectivity, pathogenicity, virulence, and antigenicity or immunogenicity.

Martell's words mean that Gantakana has fully maximized all the attributes of the first three.

"Now that the pathogen is almost fully studied, can we try to develop a vaccine?"

Gu Ji now only cares about how to solve this crisis as soon as possible.

“The isolation and cultivation of pathogens is only the first step in developing a vaccine. Next, it needs to go through extraction, processing, production and clinical trials, which requires a long process;

However, virus infection does not wait for others. Based on the characteristics of the virus that I have observed now, the Ebola model used by the WHO is probably no longer accurate. I estimate that in one month, at least 800,000 people will be infected around the world. ! "

"One month, 800,000?"

Gu Ji was startled by Martell's words.

As a result, he was surprised at this second.

Only then did he notice that the task progress number in the lower right corner was beating in seconds!

The current number of people infected with the virus: 7276+1/8000;

Current death toll: 3455+2/3800

Seeing the beating blood-red numbers, Gu Ji suddenly felt an extremely strong sense of urgency.

Obviously he has tried every means to promote it, but it is still far behind the spread of Gantakana virus. If this continues, before a vaccine is developed, Nepal may have fallen long ago!

"Is my method wrong?"

Gu Ji grabbed the back of his head through the thick, fully enclosed protective clothing.

Just when he began to reflect on whether he had chosen the wrong direction.

Catherine received a call with an extremely serious expression.

"Okay, I know! Teacher, just now, the World Health Organization received news that researchers from the US CDC reported an infection case. An office worker living in New York was also infected with the Ganta Kana virus. Epidemiological surveys showed that he had been to Kathmandu four days ago!"

"Four days ago..."

Martel repeated subconsciously, then looked down at the virus culture dish and said seriously: "If he is really infected with the virus, I am afraid he has already infected many people in the United States in the past few days!"

It's raining on a rainy night.

Gu Ji was overwhelmed when he heard the news.

If it continues to develop at this pace, the ultimate goal will definitely fail.

The real horror is that this crisis has changed from national to global!

A global crisis!

Throughout human history, there have been few such crises!

The Black Death, the Little Ice Age famine in the 17th century, the First and Second World Wars, the Spanish Flu, the Indian Ocean Tsunami...

Which of these global crises did not kill hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

This is definitely not something that a small person like him can easily change, or even pry, unless his identity is changed to the Prime Minister of Nepal or the highest official of the World Health Organization.

But this level is not a random mode.

Even if Gu Ji chooses to die and rewind now, he will still become "Xima".

"Damn it, what should I do to stop this crisis!"

For the first time.

After obtaining the game system, he felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

It's like you know that the wheel of history is rolling in a bad direction, but you stand in front of it, but you can't stop it at all, and you will only be ruthlessly crushed by the wheel.

Another dead end.

The terrifying thing is.

Once the level fails.

Gu Ji will not only face the punishment of the game, but after returning to reality, he will also face the risk of being infected by the Ganta Kana virus.

He will die! !

Thinking of this, the instinctive desire of human beings to survive instantly turned into a stream of blood, washing over his skull, forcing him to calm down.

There must be a solution!

The system cannot set a dead end, there must be something I haven't noticed...

The bloody countdown is far from over.

I still have a chance!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Ji saw the blood sample on the laboratory table, and suddenly thought of Kaf and what Martel said in the hospital, and asked hurriedly:

"Professor, what if we start from the antigenicity of the pathogen? In Kaf's blood sample, perhaps we can find antigens that can restrain the pathogen!"

"I can try!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Catherine, you come back to Kathmandu with me and get some supplies!"

Without further delay, Gu Ji prepared to go back to the city to get some food and bedding so that Martel and his students could concentrate on developing virus antigens in this rift valley laboratory.

It was already eight o'clock in the morning when we returned to the city from the mountains.

Once the lockdown policy was implemented, the originally prosperous city suddenly became dead silent.

Except for the patrolling police and the army on the street, there was hardly any civilians to be seen, all jobs were closed, and no one dared to go to entertainment venues and squares. Various wreaths made of chrysanthemums and yellow silks symbolizing holiness were hung on the doors of every household to pray for God's blessing.

After handing the supplies to Catherine.

Gu Ji found Raja and worked with him to investigate the foreigner who appeared in the mental hospital and was suspected of being the "poisoner".

In this way.

The development of antigens and the identification of the poisoner were carried out at the same time.

No matter which side made progress, it would be beneficial for him to solve the crisis at hand.

It was a pity.

The anti-detection awareness of the "poisoner" in the surveillance was very strong, and Nepal's surveillance equipment was relatively backward.

Raja and his men had watched the video for more than ten hours in a row, but they could not find their specific traces, let alone their identities.

"Can you contact the Exit and Entry Administration and try to get a list of foreigners who came to Nepal a few days before the incident?"

"That's a way, but Kathmandu is an international tourist city. There will be a lot of foreign tourists coming in and out every day, and the workload will be very large!"

"Then find a few more to investigate together!"

Gu Ji patted Raja on the shoulder and immediately copied the surveillance video of the suspect.

He was also ready to find someone to help.

That's right.

Of course it's Amin and Vidi!

It's a good opportunity to meet two 7472 members in the game level at the same time.

The Nepal police system, plus two world-class intelligence agencies, Mossad and India's Research and Analysis Bureau, are investigating together. I don't believe that this guy's identity can't be found.

Unless he disappears out of thin air!

[Ultimate goal: Completely solve the Nepal virus crisis and control the number of infected people to 8,000, 3,800 deaths, failure! ]

[Attention, your level settlement reward will be greatly reduced! ]

[Random punishment is in progress...]

[The number of mutated cancer cells in your body will increase by 300%! ]

"Um..."

Just as Gu Ji walked out of the Capital Police Station, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

The next second.

A strong sense of dizziness came over him, and Gu Ji missed a step and fell to the ground. The feeling of nausea and vomiting followed, making him lie on the ground and retching uncontrollably.

"She, what happened to her?"

"Oh my God, she is not infected with Gantarkana, is she?"

"Quick! Someone come and catch her!"

...

Near the entrance of the police station, the guards saw this scene and immediately raised their riot forks and batons in fear, surrounding Gu Ji layer by layer.

"Well, I'm fine, I just stayed up too late and my head is a little dizzy."

Gu Ji supported the pain in his body, got up from the ground with difficulty, and showed his eyeballs generously, "If you don't believe me, look, my eyes are not red and swollen."

"It seems to be true..."

The guard took a closer look, then let down his guard and helped him up.

Relying on willpower.

Gu Ji walked slowly to the side of the road step by step, and finally couldn't hold on and sat down.

Now he is not only weak all over, but also his abdomen is like being burned by fire, the pain is so unbearable for ordinary people.

The system has a triple debuff penalty.

It makes his current radiation sickness symptoms as serious as last week.

I have to say.

The pollution bombs developed by the Indian branch of Kaiida are indeed very powerful.

Gu Ji escaped from the experimental radiation zone in less than two days, but he did not expect that the cells in his body would still become cancerous. This speed can only be described as terrifying.

"It turns out that failure of the ultimate goal will affect the reward for passing the level, but fortunately the level is not forced to end..."

Looking at the mission failure display in the lower left corner.

Whether it is the number of infected people or the number of deaths, they have exceeded the maximum standard of the mission limit.

Gu Ji's heart finally fell to the ground.

Mission failure is not terrible.

What is terrible is that the system does not give him a chance to start over.

As long as he can lock the poisoner, or find the antigen against the virus, Gu Ji will have the confidence to successfully complete the level in the third round!

So.

Now he must persist.

Even if it is, death! !

...

At night.

The lanterns hanging on the corners of the temple tiles, the flames are faint, swaying gently with the evening breeze.

A strong light came from afar, as if it had torn a hole in the thick darkness, and then a black SUV slowly drove over and stopped by the roadside.

The car door opened, and a tall man wearing an S10 gas mask got out.

He was Amin.

Not long after getting off the car, he seemed to realize the problem, and instantly pulled out a Glock pistol from his waist, squatted on the front wheel hub, and guarded the surroundings.

"Xima, you dare to betray me! Come out!!"

"Pah pah pah!"

In the darkness, applause rang softly.

Two black shadows elongated by the car lights gradually shrank, and finally turned into a three-dimensional human figure, appearing in front of Amin.

The leader was Gu Ji.

"It's you! You called me out alone, thinking that you can kill me by finding a helper? Haha, the power behind me is beyond your imagination!!"

Seeing the two people swaggering out, Amin immediately sneered.

Gu Ji stood there calmly.

"You have good anti-detection ability, you are worthy of being a member of Unit 7472, Amin!"

"Heh! You are waiting to receive... You, what did you say?"
