Along the way, the further west we drove along the highway, the fewer people there were, and there weren't many houses in the towns.

It is working hours now, and large gas stations like this will normally have staff on site.

But she had already driven for more than fifty kilometers and didn't see anyone. It was broad daylight and there was not even a car on the road.

This road is not an abandoned road. According to the map, there are large towns nearby. It is definitely impossible for it to be so desolate and comparable to the end of the world.

Wen Xu took out a loaded pistol from his luggage bag and walked into the convenience store.

The door was open, but there was no one in the lobby.

The goods were scattered on the ground and most of the shelves were empty.

"Is anyone there?" Wen Xu called out twice at the door, but no one answered.

She stepped into the store and smelled an extremely unpleasant odor.

The smell of decay and blood.

Wen Xu covered his nose and walked to the cashier counter, where he found a large pool of coagulated blood and dirty vomit, which spread all the way to the back warehouse.

Flies were also buzzing back and forth.

Wen Xu narrowed his eyes, walked into the warehouse, and found a man in work clothes lying on the ground, dead.

The man was extremely thin, his clothes were covered in dirt, and there were large areas of abscesses on the exposed parts of his body. Countless small insects were crawling on his body, and flies were flying around in the warehouse.

The weather is hot now, and insects may grow in one day. It is impossible to tell the time of death of this person from a long distance.

But, with such a corpse, she didn't even think of getting close to check it out.

He took out his cell phone, took a photo, and immediately went out to check the surveillance footage.

Fortunately, the power system here is intact, and there are no problems with the computers and monitoring.

Judging from the surveillance footage, this person had been dead for 2 days. It was not a homicide, but he suddenly vomited blood and then... died.

Wen Xu glanced out the window and decided that it was not advisable to stay here for long. She sent the surveillance information to Wu Nan and asked him to help check what happened at the gas station. She walked to the shelf, got some food and drinks, and returned to the car.

Instead of taking Highway 1, she turned into Medicine City.

This is an industrial and commercial city with a population of 6.33.

If this relatively developed small town were to become empty, that would be a big deal!

The deeper they drove into the town, the more uneasy Wen Xu felt. There was a faint fishy smell in the air, but the streets were clean and there was not a single living creature to be seen.

Not even the sound of birds could be heard.

It really is like a deserted city at the end of the world.

"Wife, is it convenient for you to listen?"

Gu Che's voice came from the communicator. Wen Xu glanced at the rearview mirror, slowly stopped the car, and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Gu Che.

It was convenient for her to listen, but not to speak, so he had to speak and reply with warm messages.

"The S virus strain mutated in the city of Messint where you are now, causing thousands of residents to fall ill and die despite failed rescue efforts. Five days ago, most of the residents had moved out. The man at the gas station was not a staff member, but a homeless man who did not evacuate. He also died from the mutated virus."

Gu Che spoke in a heavy tone, paused for a few seconds and continued:

"I just found out that after the S virus broke out, the virus was most severely infected in all the towns along Highway 1, from Messint City to Hos Pass. The situation in other towns along the route was the same as Messint City. The virus spread very quickly, and many patients were sent to centralized treatment centers."

Wen Xu's expression grew more gloomy as he listened to Gu Che's words.

Taifei is really generous, arranging one event after another without any regard for the lives of ordinary people.

She checked Chloe's location on her phone and saw that he had already driven to Brooks.

If you continue along Highway 1, your destination will most likely be along the route from Brooks to Horse Pass.

“Where is the central point for treatment?”

Wen Xu typed and asked.

The virus is so highly contagious that in order to avoid further spread, centralized treatment points cannot be set up in relatively safe areas outside the infection zone and must be set up along this line.

If it is to conceal the truth, the laboratory is most likely set up there.

For such a large-scale operation, it is impossible to just find a valley and do it. It is safest and quickest to renovate basic medical facilities.

The medical organization's headquarters may also be nearby.

"The concentration point is a member of the International Alliance of Medical Rescue Organizations. The AG International Emergency Medical Team was specially set up and requisitioned a hospital near the Banff Rocky Mountains."

AG International Emergency Medical Team.

Wen Xu frowned slightly when he heard the name of this medical team.

Most international medical teams are funded by supporting companies.

When Wen Xu investigated Xiao Niantang before, he thoroughly investigated Xiao Pharmaceutical inside and out.

If she remembered correctly, the company behind AG International's emergency medical team was Xiao Pharmaceutical.

This further confirmed her thoughts.

Thinking of Xiao Niantang, Wen Xu suddenly remembered what Tang Yuan had said before, that her wedding with Xie Qichen seemed to be taking place today.

But now, the Xie family has become a fallen dog, and the Xiao family's stock price has plummeted due to the launch of an antiviral Chinese medicine formula. Xiao's pharmaceutical business has experienced ups and downs in just a week and it is not easy.

Xie Qichen is now in custody at the Gimli Police Station, and I don’t know where Xiao Niantang is now.

Gu Che waited for a minute, but didn't see Wen Xu's reply, so he continued, "Wife, the tattoo is ready. Wu Dong is waiting for you at the Brooks gas station. If possible, let him follow your next trip."

Wen Xu turned his head to look at the two experimental subjects behind him, thought for a few seconds and replied, "I'll check out the situation first. Just have your people guard nearby. I'll be in disguise, and it's not appropriate to have other people around me."

Gu Che knew she would say that, and he sighed deeply: "Okay, be careful on this trip, and don't go too deep. Our team will soon set off from Colombia to McBrand, Canada. You can wait for them to act together. They are carrying the latest antiviral drugs developed by Jiang Xiu!"

Team?

Wen Xu raised the corners of her eyes slightly, "What team?" she asked.

Gu Che said: "My people in the Dragon Eagle Mercenary Team are made up of the top retired special forces soldiers in the country. According to the agreement, the country cannot take measures openly for many things, but special things need special treatment. The Dragon Eagle is such a special team, wandering on the edge of international politics."

Wen Xu knew that many governments would cooperate with mercenaries to deal with some problems, but he didn't expect that Gu Che was involved.

However, with Commander Gu around, it would be more reassuring to leave this cooperation to Gu Che.

It seems that Gu Che's organization has long become a Xuanwu cannon placed abroad by the country.

That’s good too. At least Wen Xu doesn’t have to worry that Gu Che will be labeled a terrorist one day.

After all, it is backed by the country.

It has to be said that Gu Che, who came out of a novel and lived a new life, was extremely shrewd in every path he took.
