21.1 The world has never changed
From the end of the Apocalypse calendar to the beginning of 547, during the New Year's Eve period, the plague suddenly broke out in the Yuemeteor Basin.
The virus originated in Yufucheng.
The earliest signs of the virus plague were noticed in the channels of domestic sewage in the urban area at the edge of the city.
December 29, 546 to January 5, 547.
People in the lower city can often see clusters of "black gas" entangled in the mouth of the sewer. When you look closely, these are mosquitoes. Mosquitoes and mosquitoes are biting each other, killing each other like raising a gu. This kind of fighting can often give birth to individuals the size of wasps, which build nests in the gaps and cracks between houses.
Because the cold wind in winter is too strong, not many people are bitten outdoors in sweaters, and insects in the trench cannot move for a long time in the cold outdoor environment, so it has not attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
However, at this time, thousands of people in various areas of the Xiacheng District have been seriously ill due to poisonous insect bites.
In the slight panic among people, DDT and pesticides in the lower city sold very well. For children, toys such as fireworks and firecrackers had new fun. The children used the fireworks for the New Year to spray the insects.
...
However, the biochemical disasters soon became more and more serious. New alienated species appeared in the urban trash cans and green belts. Some birds moving in the city were screaming more and more.
Early January 547.
When people throw garbage into trash cans, some small lizard-like insect creatures often jump out. This creature often jumps out to harm people, and even evolves a latent creature in just over a dozen days.
When birds and stray dogs approach the trash can, a snake-like thing will pop up suddenly. They will bite it suddenly and swallow it into the trash can. When large objects such as humans and cars pass by, this lurking creature will not react at all. They will curl up in the hole due to violent vibrations.
Therefore, at this time, no incidents of casualties among the people have been reported, and the risk of death of a few patients is considered to be ordinary cases.
...
January 6, 547.
Under the reminder of biochemical leakage repeatedly reported by some unofficial environmental protection organizations, the bureaucracy in Yufucheng finally began to default on the existence of some dangerous species in the city.
However, the prefect of Yufu City firmly denied that there was a serious biochemical disaster in the city.
The official spokesperson of the prefect made an expert model speech: it is believed that this is the recent development of the northern industrial organization in the Moon Flowing Mountains, which has led to the destruction of the ecological chain in the Moon Flowing Mountains. Coupled with the northern monsoon effect, these small creatures have entered the city.
Such expert remarks shifted the attention of environmental protection organizations in the city to the outside, and of course also shifted the dissatisfaction in the city to the outside.
Major newspapers in the city began to curse the Yankees in the Weishui region for destroying the environment, causing unsafe risks in the city.
The major media have eased the pressure on the bureaucrats in the city in this way.
But the problem has never been solved: the public security departments, urban management departments, and fire departments in Yufu City are shirking responsibility for how to solve such problems. The only unified opinion is to prepare for lawsuits and seek compensation from the northern development mountains group.
[On the contrary, after hearing the accusations, the social business team in the north developed the Yueyue Mountains hurriedly started a large-scale physical examination and self-inspection and carried out strict epidemic prevention]
...
The procrastination of the bureaucratic system is a problem that exists under any social system. The only difference is that under a stricter system of supervision, the bureaucratic system is better.
But in terms of efficiency, the feudal bureaucrats
This is because feudal bureaucrats are only afraid of feudal lords, capital bureaucrats are afraid of groups that control capital, and the bureaucrats of social business groups are now worried about group events.
Recently, the social business team has shirked responsibility to the minority, but is extremely concerned about some mass incidents because once the matter is serious, there is an internal responsibility system.
However, in Yufu City, although there have been epidemics in the Lower City, its bureaucracy has very lightly linked it to winter weather.
The impact of the virus leakage continues to go silently.
...
On January 8, a tragedy occurred in Yufu City. A stroller was parked at the edge of the green belt. As the baby cried, a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the green belt and swept the baby away. Amid the screams of passers-by, the mother of the child, twenty meters away, collapsed on the spot.
While the local security department was still discussing, that afternoon, the angry people poured gasoline over the entire green belt, and the flames directly burned the entire ground. Then, holding an iron fork in his hand, the lizard with a total of twenty kilograms of long tongue was inserted into the two fists-sized cracks in the green belt.
The death of this creature was obviously unable to calm down the irritable public anger. Under the guidance of the media a few days ago, they began to pour into the mall and burn the goods of the northern social business group.
However, blind anger and the lack of official power have made things worse. Although the burning destroyed the places where these small creatures were breeding, the gathering of urban people in these sites and the gathering spreads everywhere, which actually provides strong conditions for the spread of the epidemic.
On January 9, when the burning black smoke dissipated.
A large number of people began to cough, and all kinds of spots began to appear all over their bodies. People began to wake up from blind anger and panic spread in the city, but it was too late.
On January 12, a large-scale epidemic began to spread, and medical departments everywhere were full and people could not be treated, so they began to despair and caused chaos.
For Yufucheng, the cause of this epidemic is no longer important. Now this situation is definitely a scene of biochemical leakage, but experts in the city have begun to continue to guide public opinion.
Now the citizens of the city, wealthy families with conditions, began to try to escape from the city. The poor people without conditions began to buy large quantities of supplies and even plunder commodity stores.
At all the alleys in the city, people wearing cloaks and clothes ran with big bags and small bags, and garbage and shreds of paper on the ground flew everywhere, and everyone was in a hurry.
...
On January 15, the upper floors of Yufucheng held an emergency meeting. Over the city, helicopters shuttled through the sky filled with black smoke and landed on the top of the city's tallest building. Police cars around him honked their whistles and tried hard to maintain public order.
The mayor's speech was played on the huge electronic screen of the city building.
In the mayor's speech, the government meeting was gilded, claiming that the meeting would immediately resolve the food crisis, water and electricity crisis, security crisis, and control of infectious diseases in the city. The speech with both voice and emotion pleasing people's hearts.
However, on the highest level of the municipal building
Next to the mahogany table, the prefect on the head seat had a gloomy expression. He told the truth to the representatives of the major consortiums who came to the meeting: the situation in Yufu City is no longer controlled, so you have already made plans.
After the meeting, outside the steps of the building shining with sunlight, members of the city's various consortiums came out and were interviewed by the media.
Facing these urban media, they all said without blushing and their hearts were beating, that this crisis is under control, so please keep quiet.
But a few hours later, the leaders of major consortiums in Yufucheng immediately summoned senior executives in their group. First, they announced that the company would send their families to safety, and then increase their salary and benefits so that they could act quickly and transfer the company's property.
...
Capital groups perform management under the shady silence of information from up to down.
When the top is facing an unsolvable crisis, the top begins to open up information circles to people slightly below the pyramid to help.
The financial chaebol on the earth has such an operation: a subprime mortgage crisis occurred, and the government used money to give Wall Street financial consortiums to overcome difficulties, and Wall Street consortiums immediately paid executives!
This makes the lower-level team very confused. If the people above do something, the people below suffer losses, so why are they still rewarding the senior management?
Haha, that is not a reward, but a part of the "grace" in the operation when strengthening internal rule.
...
The consortium in the city has begun to take action
Private armed forces drove armored vehicles into the city, attacking those who committed looting, and began to distribute food and medicine to the people. Their actions gave hope to the residents of the city.
The city suddenly became orderly. People began to line up to collect supplies, began to take medicine for their sick family with hope, and began to cooperate with the government to isolate seriously ill patients.
But, on the other hand, they are frantically evacuating assets within the city.
Production machines in factories, data documents, and family members of important technicians were transported out of the city. As for the so-called complete resolution of the crisis, it was just the slogan of politicians today, used to draw big pie.
The senior leaders of Yufucheng's consortium did not think about solving the crisis at the beginning. The drugs they allocated to residents, including super antibiotics, are powerful analgesics.
This illusion constructed for the general public will soon be exposed by cruel reality.
Isolation room area.
Some of these patients have long tongues like monsters, their teeth and nails become sharp, their spines become hunched, and some are biting like rabies and are confused.
One night, the epidemic situation was out of control in the high partition wall, and the trembling howling and biting happened wildly in this area. The gunmen on the high wall suppressed without any media records this scene.
The disaster began to gradually develop in a tragic direction.
...
On January 20, the once prosperous Yufu City has become a basin.
A military armored vehicle is advancing towards the city center. The streets were forcibly evacuated, and the cars that blocked the streets were forcibly pushed to both sides by bulldozers. The government has also forcibly blocked the traffic system, and civilian vehicles in the streets are not allowed to drive, so that the government's large trucks can quickly transport "relief materials" (actually transferring city property.)
If you look closely at these broken car bodies piled up on the roadside, some arthropods such as scorpions and centipedes come in and out of these metal garbage and treat them as nests. These keratinous carapaces are black and bright red, and their fangs are huge. Viral creatures with frequent appearances in every corner of the city, which is like a Gu city.
Of course, in this city, the most threatening to the convoy are the residents who have collapsed and hysterical mentally.
On this military vehicle, soldiers wearing medium armor stared at the surroundings with guns. The drone floating on the roof scanned the windows of every black hole on the streets on both sides.
Along the way, these military vehicles were frequently attacked by incendiary bombs when passing through some buildings. A large number of monsters and terrifying human mutations were observed.
During this epidemic, the military and local consortiums are not the same camp of interests.
The military knew that local consortiums were transferring property, but the local consortium's firm political obstruction prevented the military from entering the epidemic ward, so it had to send a joint investigation team to enter in the name of military research.
...
Detailed description of the current conflict of interest between the chaebols and the military:
When a city has a biochemical leakage, according to Qianchuan's laws, the army should immediately intervene in military control. However, once military control is implemented, the assets of the chaebol cannot be withdrawn. The prefect of Yufucheng and the chaebol are on the same front of interest, so it is repeatedly emphasized that the epidemic has been controlled now.
Now that the incident has worsened to such an extent, these local chaebol forces are still fighting for power and profit with the local military.
The chaebols are now focusing on buying local snakes in cities and letting them obstruct external investigations.
When the military's investigative members intervened, they were shocked to find public opinion in the city: "The nearby military conducted biochemical experiments, causing the city to suffer disaster."
So after the convoy entered, many seriously ill and desperate people had already launched a lone wolf-like charge against the convoy with explosives.
The local snakes in the city were watching from the side, and when they saw the convoys fired, they were inciting the people more powerfully. And behind their backs, they were injecting purple needles given to them by the chaebol. These needle tubes were defecation agents and cell growth agents, which temporarily protected them from the harm of the epidemic.
...
However, the well-dressed senior officials of local chaebols used information shady to conceal the facts from the general public, and are now also deceiving these local tyrants.
The local snakes trapped in the diseased area do not know at all that the viruses in their bodies, the current anti-malignant agents and cell regeneration agents, cannot be cured at one time.
Those molecular clusters in the form of grape bunches have been inserted into their cell genes. Their genes are now extremely unstable, and the two extremely expensive agents can only keep them stable for the time being.
To completely eliminate those high-energy viruses, you need to slowly grind them in the culture warehouse to inactivate these high-energy viruses in the body's natural metabolism. The amount of anti-aging agents and cell regeneration agents consumed in this process is extremely expensive, and the price is sky-high.
