#885 - Chapter 885: Unrest and Search
Cousin Zhang Jingchu was also infected with this virus!?
Qin Jin's heart jolted. He thought of that young girl, still in the prime of her life.
If he remembered correctly, his cousin had just finished her senior year of high school last year and was preparing to enter university when he forcibly pulled her into attending the opening ceremony of Mutant Night, which allowed her to escape the chaotic disaster outside.
Afterward, she had been staying with her aunt and uncle at Green Source Base.
She was also infected!?
How exactly did this unknown virus spread?
According to the analysis of his uncle, Qin Guoqiang, and others, the infected were distributed among all residential areas and headquarters personnel. It didn't seem to be limited to a specific area, but rather spreading throughout the entire base aimlessly.
This situation was even more terrifying!
People had no idea how they suddenly became infected.
"Take me to see her!"
The base was already doing its best to handle the situation. Zhao Ling, Qin Guoqiang, and the captains of the combat units were all working hard on this matter. Qin Jin, as the leader, was free to act.
After hearing his uncle's words, he decided to go see his cousin first.
The news of the mysterious virus infection had spread throughout the entire base!
In every large residential area, small residential area, and even the safest Green Source Headquarters, some people suddenly felt unwell and fell ill!
At the same time, the base did not deliberately conceal the information, but instead issued an alert on the Green Speech APP!
【The base is under attack by an unknown virus!】
【Please inform those around you who have received this message to take protective measures!】
【Unless there are special circumstances, try not to leave your homes! Wait for the base to find the source and extinguish this disaster!】
【If the following symptoms appear, please immediately contact the emergency teams in each residential area or headquarters for isolation! Do not have contact with others!】
One by one, bright red headlines were pinned to the top of the Green Speech APP!
Something happened!
All Green Source base personnel were shocked by this sudden news on this otherwise ordinary night!
A virus with unknown infectious conditions appeared in the base!
There have already been several deaths!
Acute death!
The deaths were extremely tragic!
One shocking title and content after another made the readers' faces change drastically!
"Oh my god!! Even our safe base has problems!?!"
"I know about this! One person in our workshop vomited blood and collapsed in the evening! They were sent to the emergency room for treatment, and I heard they died later!"
"Does anyone know how this virus is transmitted!? An infected person appeared in our No. 8 small residential area! I was sitting across from an infected person working together all day!! Am I going to be infected too!?!"
"Condolences to the person upstairs!"
"Green Speech says that this virus doesn't seem to be transmitted from person to person, so everyone doesn't need to worry so much. You can go up and take a look."
"What the higher-ups say is often a lie! Aren't the rebuttals issued during peacetime always proven to be true in the end!"
"Well said!"
"I'm so panicked! The weather is cold again, and I feel even colder in my heart! Can anyone give me some warmth!?!"
The Green Speech communication platform was in chaos, stirred up by this sudden event.
After the base's network was connected some time ago, almost all personnel with a certain number of points scrambled to exchange for a mobile phone of their own and connect to the base's network.
Humans are social creatures, and the year of losing social interaction has made people realize the preciousness of this once-common convenience.
Just like now.
Everyone can vent their anxiety on the Internet at will.
People who receive the news will inevitably panic.
However, the base's higher-ups did not intend to isolate this state, but rather let everyone know, to avoid someone running around without knowing and causing new troubles.
As for worrying about someone taking the opportunity to launch a rebellion?
There's no need to worry.
Every large and small residential area, including the headquarters, is under surveillance. As long as any sign of something wrong is discovered, someone will go to suppress it.
If it really doesn't work, just drop a big pineapple to raze this residential area to the ground.
There's no need to worry too much.
Qin Jin, who has ultimate force, is not worried that anyone will use this opportunity to have inappropriate ideas after connecting to the Internet.
This night.
The Green Source people hiding in their respective dormitories were anxiously waiting for news.
The base said that once there was new progress, a notice would be issued, or it would be released simultaneously on Green Speech, so that all personnel could wait.
"Brother Li and the others have gone out to find the source of the infection! I wonder if they can find it!? I'm also a little panicked! I always feel like there are viruses floating in our dormitory! Why don't we all wear the masks that the base just issued to sleep!"
In a dormitory building in the branch base, Xiao Cong was sitting restlessly on the bed, venting his anxiety.
"Don't move around, Brother Li and Brother Liang have already received notification to solve this incident. With the strength of our base, we should be able to put out this problem soon! Let's go to sleep first, maybe when we wake up, the base will have solved all the problems."
Another companion in the dormitory comforted Xiao Cong.
In fact, he didn't know the source of Xiao Cong's anxiety.
He still clearly remembered that he was infected during the parasite crisis at the beginning of this year.
Sigh.
The taste is better left unmentioned.
Xiao Cong always felt that he seemed to have a physique that attracted bad luck.
Hearing his companion's comforting words, he could only shrink back into the quilt and continue to refresh his phone to browse the progress released by the base, and chat with other Green Source personnel.
A coal-burning stove in the room was burning quietly. Every dormitory in the headquarters was equipped with a harmful gas detector so that every person could rest comfortably on cold winter nights.
Only.
What they didn't know was.
Outside the darkened window, there were several snow-white moths lying there......
No. 16 Small Residential Area!
The location where the incident first occurred!
Zhong Yu was leading a group of combat unit members to search here!
They had to quickly find the source of this virus infection!
The earliest case appeared in the evening, and the earliest death of the infected person occurred here!
So there was the greatest possibility of clues here!
After receiving the notification at night, they couldn't rest and hurriedly put on specially made protective cold-resistant suits and rode snowmobiles in the heavy snow to get here!
Fortunately, the weather has recently reached a terrifying low temperature of minus forty degrees Celsius, and even at night, there are no more zombies harassing them, allowing them to travel smoothly.
The reason why helicopters were not used was naturally because small residential areas were inconvenient to park in, and they could easily damage the clues that might exist here.
"Everyone be as careful as possible! We still don't know what infected the base personnel! If you don't want to be infected, keep your eyes open!"
"Start searching from the work positions, residences, and walking paths where the first deceased person stayed!"
"Search operation begins!"
