Chapter 31 Spread

In the dead of night, at the pass of Allen's fortress, a small door opened, and a dozen people who had been waiting outside for a long time walked in. They seemed to be in a hurry.

They are technicians from a nearby gang. The purpose of their coming here tonight is to talk to Allen. They want to escape from the control of the original gang, not because they are dissatisfied with the treatment, but because they feel danger.

Now the situation on the entire grassland has become complicated. Some of them have been threatened. They all have family members. Other gangs have been sending people to communicate with them. If they refuse to go over, their family members will dangerous.

They did not explain this to the leader, because the leader was also threatening them with his family, so now the best way for more than ten of them is to leave this dangerous situation, and the only place they can go is where Allen and the others are. There are only more than 300 people in this fortress, so everything is relatively stable.

And the most important thing is that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an ideal shelter for many people.

But Allen and the others did not accept everyone. Only some technical personnel could enter this fortress.

Soon along the path up the mountain, more than ten people were brought to a brightly lit square. They were surrounded by three-story houses with wooden structures. They were neatly planned, and you could see the decorations on different houses. It has different signs, and you can tell at a glance what it is used for, and there is actually a medical clinic.

Soon, Allen, accompanied by some of his men, came out of a room, and more than ten people looked at Ai Lu respectfully.

"You are the ones who said you wanted to join us before. Tell us what you can offer this fortress."

Allen only needs people who have practical functions, and does not want the rest. Such a small society is already very ideal. It is already very good to gradually develop to a scale of 1,000 people, but now it does need some technical personnel.

There were more than ten people with expertise in machinery, water, electricity, and planting and cultivation. Allen agreed to their request after thinking for a while.

"You can come over tonight and bring your tools and other useful things."

More than a dozen people looked troubled. It was not easy for them to come out. They only came here after they had managed to get some of the people watching drunk.

"If you don't even have such determination, go back."

Allen said and turned around. More than a dozen people panicked. They could only agree to Allen and start rushing back non-stop. They had to come to this fortress with everything they could take away before the guardian woke up. , that way they will be safe.

Allen looked at the group of people leaving and sat by the window of the bedroom. His wife was already asleep. He held up a glass of wine, took a sip and laughed.

Now everyone in the fortress listens to Allen, because of Allen's foresight. Although the construction of this fortress was indeed difficult in the early days, everything is getting better now.

It would be perfect if he did not get involved in the disputes on the grassland in advance. Through some informants, Allen roughly knew the situation of several forces near him on the grassland. On the surface, they were harmonious, but secretly they were fighting openly and secretly.

Obviously food and water are sufficient now, but the struggle still begins. Everyone wants to seek better development. This is the source of the dispute. In Allen's view, their dispute will only make them worse in the future. It's getting worse.

Recently, many people want to enter the fortress, but Allen basically disagrees. The dozen or so people tonight can indeed be beneficial to the subsequent development of the fortress, so Allen wants to see their determination.

If these people hesitate, then the fortress will not be open to them. Soon Alan became a little drunk, and he turned off the light and went to bed.

The early morning light shone in from the window. Allen woke up. His wife was still sleeping soundly. After Allen kissed his wife on the cheek, he got up. The night watchman never saw the ten people return.

"When you go down to trade in the future, you don't need to say anything to them. They have no place here."

Allen doesn't need people who clearly feel the crisis but are still hesitant to act. They will only hold back when the crisis arises.

It seems to Allen that many people have not yet understood the truth of the world today. Crisis is around us all the time. Even when we are full and full, we need to pay more attention to these crises.

Allen and the others have always used some wood and medicine to trade with the people at the foot of the mountain. What they trade is seeds. Now Allen has asked some people to build a warehouse to store seeds close to the mountain wall. Only the seeds can pass through. The key to the future.

At this time, in a circular field more than ten kilometers away from Allen's fortress, more than ten people were tied up. They were the people who sneaked into Allen's fortress last night. They wanted to leave after they came back last night. , but when I came back, things had been revealed.

More than ten people were arrested, and the leader of the gang wanted to put them on trial directly. They were surrounded by onlookers. It was called a trial, but it was actually a warning to other technicians.

The leader was also very confused about what to do last night, but the last resort was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

"Tell me, where do you want to go? Who planned it?"

The leader asked fiercely, and these technicians immediately confessed. The leader looked at the fortress on the mountain in the distance and asked angrily.

"We have provided you with the best conditions, but you are still eating and drinking. Who is taking the lead?"

The leader asked angrily. None of the people answered. They just said that it was agreed upon by everyone. But at this time, the leader grabbed a thin technician, who was definitely replaced among the more than ten people.

"This is the guy who's instigating everything."

The thin man shook his head in horror, indicating that he had not, but the leader broke his neck before he could say anything.

Many people around looked at it with fear. The leader looked at the remaining people and said.

"This is a lesson. There is no next time. Next time, it will not only be you, but also your family members will end up like this."

Simple and crude threats were the most effective on this grassland. Soon everyone dispersed, and the leader asked people to bury the bodies.

No one thinks there is anything wrong with this approach, because it is the most effective approach in everyone's eyes.

Just when the leader was about to go back, several of his men hurried over.

"It's not good, sir, a large-scale infectious disease broke out over Jade's side, and many people are coming towards us."

The leader knew the situation was serious as soon as he heard this. He immediately ordered his men to guard the boundary and not allow anyone to come over. But it was already too late. Many people who wanted to avoid the epidemic ran over directly with some dry food.

The situation was out of control. A large number of infected people appeared early in the morning in the area where Jade and the others were. This disease is fatal to humans today.

.......

"This is not smallpox."

3pm

In a simple laboratory built with plastic film, Tang Rao was holding some simple equipment and had just completed the analysis of the virus.

Many doctors around him nodded at this time. In this simple laboratory, only Tang Rao was not wearing protective equipment because it was no longer needed.

Tang Rao and the others had tested the cells before and found that the antibodies in their bodies had disappeared. With a try, they injected some microorganisms, only to find that the microorganisms that invaded the body were instantly swallowed up by the cells in their bodies.

This situation means that their bodies have completely broken away from the category of humans. Tang Rao looked at this virus, which should be similar to a febrile herpes infectious virus. Although it is not smallpox, it is lethal enough to keep humans alive for a long time. The torture caused problems with body functions, organ dysfunction, and eventually death.

Tang Rao has tried to use some drugs in stock to conduct virus suppression tests, but they have not had much effect.

Now we have to find a way to understand the situation of the virus before we can make some corresponding vaccines. However, there is only one person named Tang Rao, and only two other doctors have knowledge of microbiology.

Tang Rao immediately ordered the doctors to prepare some things, and they began to get busy.

Gene was just outside the laboratory. He basically understood that the situation in the past eight months was much better than they expected, but at such a juncture, such an infectious disease broke out.

When drugs are so scarce, the emergence of such a virus would be a huge blow to the grassland, which is still relatively stable.

Seeing that the grassland is full of people who want to escape, although Jed's men have explained the situation and told them what to do according to Jean's instructions, many people still want to leave, because for them, infected Virus equals death.

Nowadays, besides hunger, death is the number one threat. Looking at this chaos, Gene knows very well that they may not be able to do anything. The only thing they can do is to find a way to develop a vaccine and then inject it into patients for experiments. Many people will still die, and conditions do not allow them to save these people.

What Jean is thinking about now is how to establish an order in this land. Jean has discussed this idea with several other people, but everyone else is opposed to it, and the same is true for Ellie.

It is not without reason that they would object, because people are difficult to control. No matter what happens, human society is always accompanied by fights. Jean stood up helplessly. At this time, several Jade men came over, and they looked solemn. .

"Jade hopes that Mr. Jean can come over."

Gene nodded and followed several men to an isolation shack. Soon Gene saw Jed, who was wearing a blanket and had a lot of herpes on his face. He looked very weak.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jean, I didn't talk to you properly at that time."

Gene was a little surprised. He didn't expect Jade to say that as soon as he opened his mouth. Gene shook his head.

"It's useless even to discuss it, because the situation doesn't allow it."

Jed nodded. Gene took a look at the situation in the room. Many people had died. It seemed that the virus would only weaken humans in the early stages. By the time symptoms officially began to appear, it was already in the advanced stage. Jed looked Shaky.

"Does this land still have a future? Mr. Jean."

Gene did not answer Jade's question. He just looked into the distance, then took out a cigarette and lit it. Looking at the dim sun in the distance, Gene exhaled a puff of smoke.

"maybe."

Jed smiled slightly, and he turned around to continue waiting for death, when Gene stopped him.

"Want to wait to die?"

Jade nodded slightly, and Gene walked over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"There will be a way, trust us."

Gene looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. He could only go back and bring Ellie and Witt. If the two came, they should be able to produce the vaccine more quickly.

"I'll go back first and bring Ellie and Witt here."

After Gene finished speaking, he ran to Tang Rao and said something to Tang Rao. Tang Rao also agreed with Gene's approach. After all, Ellie was a top genetic pharmacologist, and Witt was a top virologist.

Gene ran quickly across the grassland. After reaching the lake, he immediately released blue particles, and his body became extremely light. In an instant, Gene had crossed the lake and came to the edge of the forest. He quickly sank into the forest.

Gene consciously increased his speed. Everything under his feet was changing. Gene didn't know how fast he could go, but he was sure that he would return to the base within 1 hour.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gene didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, his body became lighter and faster, and his speed became faster and faster. The light blue particles on the surface of his body also turned dark blue at this time, and some things around him were destroyed wherever he passed.

Gene slowed down a bit, because he could see the gate of the base. After a while, Gene stood at the gate of the base.

Creak

After the gate opened, Gene went in and just came to the planting hall, he saw Ellie running out happily, and Gu Yi and Rose were also there.

"The situation is urgent, let everyone come out."

Soon Gene told everyone about the matter. Everyone found it incredible that he and Tang Rao went to the grassland in one day. Ellie frowned slightly.

"You carried her with you?"

Gene smiled, and Ellie seemed a little dissatisfied, but Li Chu said soon.

"We have no responsibility or obligation to rescue them, think about how they treated us in the past?"

Ellie immediately took Gene's hand and said.

"Take me quickly."

Witt also agreed. After all, the situation was urgent now. Soon everyone began to take out some medical equipment in the base and prepared some containers for making vaccines. Now they couldn't care so much. The infectious disease had spread. If they did nothing, I'm afraid hundreds of thousands of people would die.

Gene held Ellie in his arms and carried Witt on his back, while Witt carried medical equipment on his back.

"Be careful, Gene."

Witt reminded him, because too violent movement would damage the medical equipment. Gene smiled and nodded, and ejected directly with the two of them.

"Really, what does it have to do with us."

Li Chu complained.

"If everyone on that grassland dies, then it will be a pipe dream for us to continue the human race."

Rose muttered in dissatisfaction.
