Deadly virus

On the way to work the next day, Lu Linjiang took Jiang Cheng to the CDC. The place was also overcrowded these days. He checked Jiang Cheng's mask before letting him out of the car.

"I'll pick you up after get off work. When in contact with patients, pay attention to protecting yourself, resting and drinking water. Their bodies are their own, remember?"

Jiang Cheng nodded as he said, and opened the car door without any hesitation, and then the corners of his clothes were tightly clasped.He turned his head in surprise, and Lu Linjiang looked at him with a deep expression: "You forgot something."

Jiang Cheng looked around, he brought his mobile phone and computer with him when he went out, and he already had both of them in his hands: "No, I didn't forget Dong..." Lu Linjiang's eyes narrowed, and Jiang Cheng finally realized something halfway through the sentence. , leaned over and kissed Lu Linjiang's face, "Yes, forget about this."

Only then did Lu Linjiang let go of his hand, Jiang Cheng suddenly narrowed his eyes with a smile, Lu Linjiang didn't know what he was laughing at, but just instinctively followed suit.Jiang Cheng got out of the car, bent over the car and looked at Lu Linjiang: "Then I'll wait for you tonight."

Lu Linjiang went all the way to the police station, only to find that today's morning rush hour was not very congested.

Yang Bo was sitting and having breakfast, now he no longer needed to bring breakfast to Lu Linjiang, and he no longer had to deal with this tricky and difficult master.Lu Linjiang walked past him, and Yang Bo took a sharp look at the soy milk that the other party was drinking. He had brought it to Lu Linjiang before, and Yang Bo remembered clearly the disgust on Lu Linjiang's face at that time.

"Lu Li, didn't you say that this soy milk is not delicious?"

Lu Linjiang glanced at his hand: "Oh, Jiang Cheng bought it."

The expression on Yang Bo's face was almost distorted: "So it's delicious?"

Lu Linjiang glanced at him: "You're stupid!" Then he added to Yang Bo's blank expression, "Jiang Cheng bought it, so he has to finish it anyway."

Yang Bo, Xu Sichen: "..."

Being fed dog food early in the morning, the duo expressed their contempt with their eyes.

After finishing his last sip, Lu Linjiang pulled the information board and drew a few simple subway layout diagrams: "Okay, work." He found a box of magnets from the drawer, "Come on, follow the monitoring screenshot , put people on it."

The three of them split up and quickly pasted the photos on the information board. Lu Linjiang looked at the completed information board with a somber expression.

After a long while, he finally made a move. Lu Linjiang took another red marker, pointed at his notebook, and began to draw circles on people's heads.

The three schematic diagrams intercepted three time periods during Chen Xintian's ride, and Lu Linjiang quickly circled them. The first one had the fewest people circled, and the one in the middle was not many. The third one was near when she got off the bus. The number has increased sharply, and the two people who have died are also in the third schematic diagram.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Linjiang ticked the circled people in the third picture. The two of them were confused at first, but soon saw some problems. I know the situation is more serious.

"I went around the city hospital yesterday. These are all the passengers who have appeared on this subway. And these few..." Lu Linjiang clicked on the people who ticked, "they are seriously ill. Among them, Liu Qi, Han Huimin has passed away, Zhang Zhiyu went to the intensive care unit, although Chen Xintian is in a better condition than them, but according to the feedback from the doctor, compared with the general public, she is also in a more serious condition. You can see Is there a problem?"

"From the perspective of the timeline, it is obvious that the number of patients in the second half has increased." Xu Sichen said.

Yang Bo followed: "Not only that, but the ones with serious conditions are all on Chen Xintian's side. The four most serious ones, Chen Xintian, Zhang Zhiyu, Liu Qi, and Han Huimin, are almost connected in a row. Compared with the one on the left Half a car seems to be better."

"Yes, it is obvious that the patients with severe symptoms that we can understand are all gathered in the second half of Chen Xintian's ride." Lu Linjiang clicked on a point on the information board.

"What happened?" Yang Bo asked subconsciously.

Xu Sichen was wearing a mask and sneezed again involuntarily.Lu Linjiang handed her the water glass: "I tried to get the exact time yesterday, and the inferences I can make, if you don't consider any small movements that we can't recognize, there is only one thing, this person overturned the water. "

Lu Linjiang pointed to the man wearing the fisherman's hat: "From the time he got on the car to the time he got off the car, his face was never photographed. Even if there were a few shots, it was very blurry. In this case, Very doubtful."

Yang Bo and Xu Sichen looked at the person Lu Linjiang pointed at, and then Xu Sichen said in a nasal voice, "If you want to confirm this guess, you just need to look at the situation of other people around you."

Lu Linjiang circled a few people around the fisherman hat: "Yan Yichen has already been treated in the city hospital, and the rest, Dai Yao, Lin Guangjun, and Feng Xuanqi, will ask the major hospitals in the city to see if there is any news. As for the fisherman's hat, search with all your strength, and dig three feet to find this man!"

The two responded, and Lu Linjiang looked at Xu Sichen: "How are you? If you can't do it, just rest, I can transfer people."

"I can persevere." Xu Sichen said, "I've already taken the medicine and I'm going home after rest. Why don't you get busy, maybe you'll get better sooner."

"Don't force it, we've already lost one." Yang Bo also persuaded.

"I know it. Many people in the bureau are also insisting on it like me. If someone is really deliberate about this, it would be better to have one more person." Seeing Lu Linjiang looking at her worriedly, she assured, "I can't hold on I will automatically ask for leave!"

Lu Linjiang sighed silently: "Okay, take care of yourself."

Jiang Cheng was busy until the afternoon without paying attention. This wave of viruses came in a violent manner. The various antiviral preparations known so far have not shown obvious curative effects.Because he had already read the materials given by the CDC in advance, Jiang Cheng directly gave up the research of various effective drugs after he arrived, and directly started to work on the virus gene.

Ren Lifei was also so busy that his feet didn't touch the floor, but when he passed by the door of the laboratory, he found that Jiang Cheng was still inside, and the lunch box he bought for him was placed on the desk outside, obviously untouched.

Ren Lifei knocked on the glass: "Dr. Jiang, should we eat first?"

Jiang Cheng raised his head from the instrument: "Ah, Director Ren, just call me Jiang Cheng. Come on, there's still a little more to come."

Ren Lifei admired the dedication of this foreign aid: "Jiang Cheng, you won't go any faster if you stay in front of the machine, why don't you eat your meal first and let me warm it up for you?"

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Jiang Cheng hastily washed and sterilized his hands before coming out.

Ren Lifei teased him: "Captain Lu reminded me thousands of times, if he knows that you haven't eaten at this point, he will probably say that we enslave you."

Embarrassed, Jiang Cheng put the rice in the microwave: "I'll trouble you to buy me some rice, thank you."

Shen Lei, who came in with the documents in her arms, smiled when she heard the words: "Then you thanked the wrong person, the meal was ordered by Lu Linjiang." She glanced at the microwave oven, "You haven't eaten yet."

"Ah."

"He, if I hadn't called him, he would still be busy." Ren Lifei shook his head, "By the way, I've read the paper you brought, and it's quite interesting. Why haven't you published it yet?"

Jiang Cheng told him about the situation at the time: "Actually, I have been thinking about it all the time, but I really can't spare the time."

Ren Lifei nodded, and suddenly asked: "Jiang Cheng, I remember that you seem to be graduating this year."

Jiang Cheng nodded: "Yes, as long as the thesis is settled."

Ren Lifei naturally knew the content of his thesis: "No matter where you put your thesis, there will be no problem. I believe your supervisor must be very happy." , Have you ever thought about where to develop after graduation?"

Jiang Cheng naturally thought that before receiving Voss' letter, he originally planned to continue his research at the university where he was studying in the United States after graduation, but that letter changed everything.From the moment he left everything behind and returned to the country non-stop, leaving again may not be as simple as it used to be.

What's more, he didn't seem to think about leaving again.

The question Ren Lifei asked at this moment was undoubtedly an olive branch.The microwave beeped, indicating that the heating was complete, but Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry to get his lunch. He suppressed a smile and said, "Not yet."

Ren Lifei obviously knew that he would have this answer: "Look, how about you coming to my place?" Ren Lifei made some inquiries before coming, and probably knew about Jiang Cheng. It seems that the relationship between him and Lu Linjiang has eased. , naturally feel that it is unlikely that the other party will go abroad for development.

Jiang Cheng smiled brightly: "Well, it depends on the salary."

Ren Lifei: "Huh?"

"Director Ren, if the salary is right, he can work anywhere."

These words couldn't be more straightforward, Ren Lifei smiled and nodded: "The treatment is favorable."

The two were chatting, when the warning light in the laboratory next door turned on, Jiang Cheng jumped up and rushed in, Ren Lifei yelled twice but didn't stop him, and sighed: "I don't want to eat any food! "

Shen Lei let out a hey, and was about to say something when Jiang Cheng, who was standing in front of the instrument, suddenly turned pale.His complexion became very bad, Ren Lifei who was waiting for the result also saw it, he clicked on the communication: "Jiang Cheng, what's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng seemed to hear it, and looked at the results displayed on the machine with a pale face. The research institute next to him followed suit, and shook his head blankly at the two people outside the laboratory, expressing that he didn't see anything.Ren Lifei waited for a while, and finally asked again.

Only then did Jiang Cheng raise his head, and said wordlessly, "This is a mutation of influenza A."

For the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the mutation of influenza virus is nothing new. It is a common practice for a small change in five years and a big change in ten years. Changes in nature are always faster than medical methods.But this couldn't explain Jiang Cheng's complexion turned so bad.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng continued: "There is a sequence, it's in my thesis."

"Director Ren, this flu epidemic is man-made."
