The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

Chapter 310 Biohazard? Come again?

The FBI's response can be said to be quite fast. It took almost less than 24 hours to organize a "special task force" and prepare to go to the Wind River Valley reservation.

They couldn't help but be quick, after all, there were rumors that the local angry aborigines had organized and planned to storm the drilling camp and destroy everything they could see.

You must know that the total local police force only has 7 people, plus a rookie agent who is almost completely unreliable. It is impossible to prevent the situation from deteriorating.

Thinking of the expensive shale oil extraction equipment in the drilling camp, the directors of a certain oil company registered in Texas felt blood dripping from their hearts, and could only desperately put pressure on the FBI.

However, something unexpected happened. Less than 24 hours after the incident, the bones in the camp were still being excavated. Before the "task force" even boarded the plane, a rookie detective suddenly called to report that the case Already broken.

A local hunter accidentally found a mutilated corpse in the mountains. Through identity verification, it was confirmed that it was the only missing security guard in the drilling camp.

In his cell phone, the rookie agent found a large amount of evidence related to the murdered Indian girls, confirming that the murderers of local women were the security guards who were on duty in winter and had nothing to do all day long.

The tragedy at the camp was also confirmed to be related to the missing security guard. He had apparently suffered a mental problem. After killing his companions and burning down the security dormitory, he fled into the mountains alone and eventually froze to death. Near Gannett Peak.

This outstanding female agent, with the cooperation of the local tribal police, successfully calmed down the angry aborigines. The drilling camp has been temporarily blocked and everything has settled.

Of course, the matter will not end so quickly, but the focus has been successfully shifted from the destruction of the security team to the murder of the aboriginal women.

Jiejie called up the navigation on her mobile phone, "Here, DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has set up a temporary command center."

So in general, under natural conditions, this bacteria does not pose a great threat to humans, because it usually does not infect people, and if it does, people will die quickly, making it difficult to cause large-scale spread.

"Take two tablets of this first."

"Biological terrorist attack?"

Only this invisible opponent is the most terrifying.

Not to mention removing the word "intern", it is very possible to be promoted to a higher level. Maybe next time the two of them meet, Jack will call him Senior Special Agent.

But all the turmoil right now has nothing to do with Jack for the time being. At noon on the day after enjoying the beautiful scenery of Gannett Peak, he received a call from Hochner.

It is foreseeable that although Jane will stay in this world of ice and snow for a while, the promotion that Jack once said is definitely not gone.

Seeing her restless look, Jack didn't start the car immediately, but held the girl's hand tightly.

"Relax, I'm here."

"The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) suspects anthrax. The specifics are not yet clear. We have just arrived and are collecting information."

"Let's talk about it in the car. The current situation is highly confidential." Jiejie looked around and did not directly answer Jack's question.

It can be seen from this that this is actually a rather ancient disease, but the germ itself is not terrible because its transmission route is relatively simple.

Sure enough, when he saw that Jiejie who came to pick him up had no joy of seeing her lover again, and had a serious face all the time, his heart skipped a beat. This time it must be a big deal.

But there is an awesome thing about this thing. It can transform. In its propagule state, its vitality is more fragile than most bacteria, but after it turns into a spore

Bacillus anthracis spores can swim in boiling water for at least 4 minutes. High-intensity ultraviolet rays lasting more than 100 hours or direct sunlight for more than hours can kill them.

As soon as she got in the car, Jiejie handed over a small yellow medicine bottle and a small bottle of mineral water.

Now Jack knew why the girl's panic had come.

Jack's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "What is this?"

The attack resulted in a total of 22 infections, including 5 deaths. At that time, the whole country was panicked. You must know that this country has a tradition of mailing bills. Everyone is worried that it will be their turn next.

"Ciprofloxacin, they say they don't know for sure, but it's better than nothing."

Jiejie's nervousness was well-founded. After 911/, the anthrax mail incident occurred in the United States. Someone sent letters containing anthrax to several news media offices and some senators.

Bacillus anthracis can cause infection through contact with the mucous membranes or damaged areas of human skin. It can also be infected through breathing, but in most cases, the amount of bacteria spread into the air is not enough to cause illness.

Whether it is the BIA or the FBI, they all hope that this matter can end as soon as possible to calm down the current turmoil of public opinion.

"What happened?" Jiejie was a girl who followed him to a deserted island and could face terrorists without changing her expression. Such a situation was rare.

Anthrax is a bacterium, its full name is Bacillus anthracis, which comes from the ancient Greek word "anthrakos", which means coal, and is named after the typical symptoms of black scabs on the skin.

In the Book of Exodus, there are some similar descriptions, such as the plague of livestock and boils among the ten plagues, which probably refers to this stuff.

Now that the case has been solved quickly, and there is not even a defendant who needs to go to court, everyone is naturally happy. Of course, whether the families of the victims will sue a certain oil company in court afterwards is none of the federal government's business.

It was too late to say goodbye to everyone. After making a few phone calls, Jack boarded the flight to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland.

-

Hotchner did not disclose the specific case on the phone, which made Jack feel a bad feeling in his heart.

"OK, then where are we going now?" Jack simply swallowed the pills, feeling confident that as long as the gas was not fatal on the spot, he would have great confidence in protecting the safety of those around him.

As for ordinary hospital disinfectants, the effect is far worse than boiling water, and it takes several days to completely kill the spores.

With a high fatality rate and tenacious survivability, it seems to be a logical thing to turn this germ into a biochemical weapon. There is no way, human beings have always been very talented in killing.

Jack soon joined the rest of the BAU, and this was the first time he had seen so many people in suits, military uniforms, and white coats gather together, filling the huge hall to the brim.

Then he saw another acquaintance, the CDC doctor Morgan he knew when he was just a small patrolman.
