Crisis Management Game

"What?"

Gu Ji's eyebrows were raised high, and his brown-black pupils seemed to be infinitely enlarged, full of incredible shock.

How could the vaccine fail?

In the second week, he witnessed Martell's experimental results with his own eyes. The special protease can indeed inhibit virus replication, thereby achieving resistance.

unless……

The virus has mutated! !

As everyone knows.

Viruses are divided into two types: DNA and RNA. The latter molecule has a single-stranded structure and is extremely unstable.

Therefore, when the virus replicates itself, genetic mutations easily occur and form different mutation types, such as influenza virus, Ebola virus, HIV, etc.

But even the fastest-mutating influenza virus takes at least a week to mutate.

It has only been two days since the outbreak of Gantakana.

Has a major mutation been completed?

"Although this is incredible, it is true. Three vaccinated close contacts in the hospital have now developed symptoms, and they are more serious than the first-generation virus. They have constant high fever and convulsions all over the body. This shows that the virulence of the virus has been increased. ;

Typically, characteristics such as the severity or transmissibility of a virus are encoded by multiple genes. Large-scale gene mutations occur in such a short period of time, which is extremely rare in the history of human epidemiology! "

Catherine is a virus expert and naturally knows a lot about this aspect.

At the end, she paused deliberately for a moment, "So, I suspect that someone deliberately accelerated the evolution of the virus!"

Yes.

This was what Gu Ji was most worried about at the beginning.

Because Mio Ito can produce YEZO and Gantakana, it does not necessarily mean that she cannot produce other viruses.

"Damn it, can't I get through this?"

Gu Ji cursed in his mind and subconsciously looked at Zeng Dan who was walking in front of him.

At this time, we can only leave the problem to the country.

Since she was able to develop a vaccine in one night, there must be "expert help" behind her.

"You said the vaccine failed?"

Zeng Dan stared at Gu Ji for a long time and murmured subconsciously, "How could it be so fast..."

wrong!

Gu Ji's eyelids twitched.

Through the lenses of the gas mask, I carefully observed the subtle changes in Zeng Dan's pupils, and found that she had no doubt that the vaccine was ineffective!

But we are just horrified at the speed of virus mutation.

That means...

Zeng Dan had known that the virus would mutate.

As expected, people in China have already known about Gantakana! !

"Sister Ma, we're here."

"Sima, regarding the mutation of the virus, I will let the experts discuss a new plan as soon as possible. Don't worry, since I agreed, I will be responsible for the epidemic in Nepal to the end!"

On the way back, Gu Ji kept thinking about countermeasures in the car.

So much so that he didn't even notice the convoy arriving at the gate of the temple.

"I see."

Gu Ji dealt with Zeng Dan casually.

But he has already begun to wonder whether he should use his status as Unit 7472 to seek cooperation from higher-level officials in the country.

But things have come to this point.

What other trump cards does he have that can be used for cooperation?

"If it really doesn't work, we can only sacrifice Vidi and let him hand over the nuclear device..."

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Just as Gu Ji was thinking about it and walked to the guest room in the backyard of the temple, he suddenly heard a vibration from his cell phone.

He originally thought that Zeng Dan and others had some news to convey.

But when he took it out and looked at it, he found that it was Catherine.

Gu Ji couldn't help but his eyelids twitched.

Isn't this bad news again?

As a result, as soon as he got through, he heard Catherine's excited voice, "Ms. Seema, is this the new medicine you sent someone to deliver?"

"What new drug?"

"Ah? Didn't you send someone to deliver it?"

Catherine seemed confused by Gu Ji's rhetorical question.

After hesitating for a moment, he said.

"Just now, the nurse said that a monk mysteriously sent an incubator and asked to give it to me by name. When I opened it, I saw that there were both medicines and vaccines inside.

I thought you had someone send it to you, but I wasn't sure because it was an unknown drug after all, so I thought I'd call you to verify it first. "

Monks, new drugs…

A sudden flash occurred in Gu Ji's mind, and he asked hurriedly: "Is he a mysterious man wearing a monk's robe and a gas mask?"

"Yes, exactly as you described!"

Catherine asked the nurse beside her and immediately confirmed.

Yes!

Sure enough it was him!

Although Gu Ji hasn't figured out this guy's identity yet, he doesn't know why he secretly helped him pass the level in both rounds.

But the current situation no longer allowed him to think too much.

If no way is found to contain the second-generation mutated virus, the number of infected people will soon begin to increase dramatically.

"Yes, he is indeed one of ours. The medicine can be used. I will go find you now!"

After saying that, Gu Ji hung up the phone and hurried out of the house.

Came to the national public hospital where Catherine was located.

It's already ten o'clock at night.

The entire courtyard of the hospital is dotted with temporary medical rooms built with plastic sheds. This shows that the number of patients and close contacts has seriously exceeded the capacity of Kathmandu's medical resources.

He ran all the way to the third floor of the inpatient department.

I happened to see Catherine wearing a white protective suit walking out of the ward.

"How's the situation?"

"You are...Sima?"

Catherine was startled at first.

After reacting, his expression immediately changed to surprise, "The new drug is indeed effective. After I gave it to several mild patients with second-generation mutated viruses, the symptoms of high fever and convulsions were improved and alleviated."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ji subconsciously clenched his fists.

It means that the big rock hanging in my heart can finally fall to the ground.

It's just that there's still one step left.

Gu Ji must get the formulas of new drugs and vaccines.

Such important information must be firmly grasped.

If he fails this time, he can prepare early for the next round.

then.

He thought for a moment and then began to use words to induce.

"But these drugs and vaccines are only experimental products. When I came here, I saw that the hospital was already overcrowded. I still need you to cooperate with Xia Guo to mass-produce these special drugs and vaccines!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of this."

With that said, Catherine took out the medicine bottle and pointed to the instructions on it.

"I took a quick look and found that it is a 3CL small molecule drug. Its pharmacology is very similar to the previous generation protease vaccine. However, in addition to inhibiting 3CL protease, cathepsin L is also added to block the second generation mutated Gantakana virus. Invasion of human cells, massive replication and infection.”

really.

Catherine, who only focused on studying and working, easily fell into the language trap he set.

Gu Ji immediately seized the opportunity and carefully wrote down the drug formula.

After reading Professor Martell's complete experimental records, he has become familiar with virus and vaccine research.

What's more, the formulas of the two generations before and after are similar.

So he quickly understood the core changes.

"Okay, good job."

"So... I can have the opportunity to join..."

Gu Jiben was a symbolic encouragement.

Unexpectedly, Catherine took it seriously and even began to directly test whether she could join Unit 7472.

to be honest.

Catherine is a person who is capable, reliable and reliable, so she can really be recruited.

Even if you can't contact directly with the ghost server, you can still leave it to Vidi, Amin, or Yasen as a trigger.

"I will do this..."

Gu Ji was about to speak.

Sudden.

A line of game text suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

【Notice! It has been detected that players are suspected of cheating, and the system is fixing related bugs! 】

【Under repair...】

[The current level will be forced to end! 】

[Ultimate goal: completely solve the virus crisis in Nepal and control the number of infected people to 4,500 and the death toll to 900. Complete! 】

【Notice! You will have 15 seconds to prepare and complete the side goal, otherwise it will be considered as giving up! 】

[Countdown: 15, 14...]

"What...what is going on?"

Look at the text that is updated line after line in front of you.

Gu Ji was completely confused.

This is the first time he has encountered such an unexpected situation since he came into contact with the crisis management game.

It's horrifying.

It is no less buggy than the black hole crack bug encountered in the earthquake in Pakistan.

"Why did I cheat?"

Gu Ji really couldn't figure it out, "Is it no longer enough to collect intelligence to pave the way for the next round of breakthroughs?"

He has obviously tried this method countless times, but this has never happened before. Why was he suddenly prompted?

But reality did not allow him to think deeply.

Because the system only gave him the last seven seconds to answer the task.

If Gu Ji answers incorrectly, or does not answer.

will be counted as mission failure.

"This dog planner is really going to trick me..."

Gu Ji secretly cursed.

Watching the countdown turn red, there are only the last three seconds left.

Three, two, one!

"From Xia Kingdom!"

At the moment when the countdown ended, Gu Ji gritted his teeth and determined the answer with his mind.

The next second.

System text slowly emerged.

[Side goal: Understand the origin of the Gantakana virus completed! 】

Is this okay?

Gu Ji's pupils suddenly dilated.

He originally just wanted to take a gamble, because the many clues he had found during the three rounds of breaking through the lock basically pointed in this direction.

[Hidden goal: Please find out the truth about the State of Decay! 】

[Note, you will have 15 seconds to prepare...]

See the hidden easter egg at the end.

Gu Ji couldn't help but squint his eyes.

As soon as the source of the virus is confirmed, many ideas in his mind will be completely opened.

First, the initial outbreak symptoms of Gantakana virus:

Crazy, extremely strong desire to attack!

At that time, he also compared the "paradise" drugs in the hands of Shao Liang and Abe Shigemoto, thinking that the two were very similar to some extent.

only.

One is a virus and the other is a drug.

But Gu Ji thought of a very crucial piece of information.

From Wang Xueming’s interrogation of prisoners from Liangbenshe:

Paradise drugs are actually derivatives of stolen items from Xia State’s 306 Research Institute!

Since it is now confirmed that Gantakana also comes from the Xia Kingdom.

So.

Is there a possibility.

Gantakana also comes from the stolen item, and it is even said that it is the complete body! !

This is also the reason why Gu Ji dared to determine the source at the last moment.

besides.

He also thought of the secret mission that Zhou Yang and Liu Weijun were also sent to Us Province when they went to Japan to perform their mission.

Until joining CTOC and the mission is decrypted.

The picture also shows that a special kind of poisonous gas bomb can quickly produce extreme violent emotions in people, causing harm and murderous tendencies.

Does it also have the same origin as heaven and Gantakana?

Finally, combined with the fact that the mastermind behind the poisoning, Ito Mio, has an extraordinary relationship with Abe Shigemoto, the answer becomes obvious.

No wonder Xia Guo’s expert team is so confident, and no wonder Zeng Dan was able to produce a vaccine overnight.

It turns out that all of this happened a long time ago, many years ago...

Ten seconds of preparation time.

Fleeting.

In the last three seconds, Gu Ji sorted out all the clues.

he thinks.

This disaster in Nepal actually stems from two points:

the dispute over nuclear devices;

with a mysterious virus leak.

The former is the trigger of this crisis.

During the second week of inspection, Gu Ji carefully studied the intelligence clues provided by Amin and Vidi.

The nuclear device was accidentally discovered by the Indian branch of Kaida in the Himalayan snowy mountains north of Kathmandu.

If this device really comes from the Indian Flood Level, the rumored mysterious research institute built in the snowy mountains of northern Assam.

Such a high probability.

It was the same as Xia Guo No. 306, which was stolen through the explosion that year.

Although the two snow-capped mountains belong to the Himalayas, Assam in India is still not close to Kathmandu in Nepal.

It is estimated that the person who stole the items at that time was hiding in the mountains to avoid being tracked by reconnaissance satellites and special operations forces.

It was only when accidents such as avalanches occurred during the process that the extremists in Keida missed it a few years later.

Because of this nuclear device.

It attracted the Indian Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, the Israeli Mossad, and the most important person: Mio Ito, which led to the tragedy of the Nepal epidemic.

As the first Xia Kingdom to discover Gantakana.

Although the virus came from a mysterious sphere and had nothing to do with the Xia Kingdom, the country would bother to come to Nepal to provide assistance based on a responsible attitude of "starting and ending".

[Hidden goal: Please find out the truth about the State of Decay, completion rate 67.4%! 】

[Entering level statistics settlement...]

See the system prompt in front of you.

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect that there was still more than thirty tasks left.

But I soon felt relieved.

After all, the system gave him too little time to prepare.

Many directions are just speculation. If he can be given a few more days, Gu Ji is confident that he will be able to dig out more information about Gantakana and the mysterious sphere from Mio Ito and Zeng Dan.

"It's just that I don't know what role that monk-robed man played in this level..."

Just when Gu Ji had this idea.

The world in front of him gradually began to be covered with a red filter.

The doctors, nurses and patients in the corridor seemed to be enveloped in blood.

Because the level is forced to end.

In fact, Gu Ji has not really resolved the epidemic crisis in Nepal.

As for their future fate.

No one knows.

At the moment when Gu Ji was about to jump into the system for settlement.

Suddenly.

At the corner of the corridor, a dark shadow suddenly jumped into his eyes.

a pair of reflective lenses;

All in one, brown monk robe! !
