Chapter 489: Return home
5 min read1,347 words
Chen Xin and the others are not slow to return home. Although the mobile base
can only travel about 30 kilometers per hour, they can travel more than 700
kilometers a day without stopping.
Even though the place they started was thousands of kilometers away from Yan
Country, after walking on the road for more than a week, the two mobile bases
were able to smoothly enter the territory of Yan Country. After entering the
province of Mongolia, they continued to go south.
Since it has already entered the country, communication has naturally been
restored, and the senior management has also contacted Chen Xin and others as
soon as possible.
After a brief exchange, Chen Xin also understood the current situation.
Although the train that sent Chen Xin and them to Siberia detoured farther,
the speed was much faster, so they had to return home much earlier than Chen
Xin and they have now arrived at their destination.
In addition, the Haizhu also returned to the country and informed the senior
management of the situation. It is currently under quarantine and observation.
Another ship, Sugou, remained in the capital of Lucia, where the plague had
already broken out, with some crew members infected, in order not to bring the
virus back to the country.
The senior management is currently discussing whether to provide support to
Lucia.
As for the earthquake in the southwest region, the aftershocks have now
subsided, and post-disaster reconstruction work is also proceeding in an
orderly manner.
Although the entire southwestern region was severely affected, and a large
number of casualties and material losses made the southwestern region into a
very difficult stage for a while, with the deployment and full support of
high-level officials, the current situation has improved.
The worst-hit city where Chen Xin was previously rebuilt the fastest with the
help of Titan.
Although other disaster-stricken cities have not been rebuilding so quickly,
they have also started reconstruction work in an orderly manner, and the
situation in the disaster-stricken areas has improved step by step.
This made Chen Xin relieved a lot, but while letting go of his worries about
the disaster area, he also cared about what decision the senior management
would make about Lucia's affairs.
Regarding this, the senior management did not give a reply, but asked Chen Xin
to return as soon as possible.
Regarding the two mobile bases, the senior management also did not give clear
instructions, but asked the two mobile bases to send Chen Xin back first.
Facing such instructions from the high level, the captains of the two mobile
bases and the officers leading the team would naturally not have any defiance
and discounts, driving the two mobile bases and continued southward without
stopping.
However, the senior management also learned that the supplies of the two
mobile bases were running out, and they sent two helicopters to transport
supplies.
"What do you mean by the high-level? Don't you plan to support Lucia?"
Standing in the hangar, against the cold wind from outside, watching the two
helicopters land on the outreaching tarmac, Chen Xin stood beside him The
officer asked.
Since receiving instructions from the top, he has not let Chen Xin leave his
sight. He has been following Chen Xin except for eating and sleeping.
Now that he heard Chen Xin’s question, the officer thought about it, and then
returned: “Perhaps the high-level has a high-level consideration. To be
honest, we actually don’t have much power to rescue Lucia. It’s not before the
disaster. A medical team went over to study the situation of the virus, and
then brought back the Hugou who was stuck there. There was so much that could
be done."
Chen Xin has no other opinion on the officer's answer.
Indeed, the situation in the trap is just like what the military officer said,
the help Yan Country can provide to Lucia is extremely limited.
Domestic supplies and medical resources are in short supply. I won’t mention
it. Although it’s not impossible to squeeze out at all, the ability to provide
a medical team to help Lucia may be the limit that the top management can do.
As for the Xugou, although the loss of an Ark is very heartbreaking, and those
compatriots who have been infected with the disease and trapped in Lucia are
also very worth saving, if the Xugou is saved, it means that the entire Yan
country will be exposed to the Admiral's disease. If the risks are spread to
the country, Chen Xin feels that the top management will make the right
decision.
may be cruel, or cold, but in the face of the safety of the entire country,
sometimes the individual is indeed insignificant.
Of course, Chen Xin feels that things are far from this point.
After all, according to the situation reported by the senior management,
although Lucia has spread the disease on a large scale, the fatality rate of
this disease is not too high.
In the absence of medical treatment and medicine, the mortality rate of the
infected person in Lucia is still at a low level, not even higher than that of
the flu.
Therefore, under the premise of relatively safe conditions, the country is
likely to send a medical team to Lucia, on the one hand to provide support to
Lucia, on the other hand, to bring back the dog.
It’s just that although the fatality rate of the disease caused by the ancient
virus that broke out in Lucia is not high, it does not mean that the virus is
not dangerous.
On the contrary, as far as viruses are concerned, the high fatality rate is
actually not as terrible as imagined. What is really terrifying is a virus
that has both high infectivity and high fatality rate.
A virus has a high lethality rate, which can only show that the human body as
a host is extremely incompatible with this virus, and it is easy to cause the
rapid death of the infected person.
The virus needs to replicate and spread by itself. If the infected person dies
quickly, even faster than the spread, it is very likely that there will be a
situation similar to the case where the infected person has died before the
epidemic has spread to a large extent.
In this case, although UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com said that the infected
person will die very quickly and cause a very high mortality rate, but the
infection range will not be very large.
A "perfect" virus is actually best to have a not so high fatality rate and
extremely high infectivity, just like the flu we are familiar with. This virus
has high infectivity and relatively low spreading globally every year. The
fatality rate is so high that there is almost no good way for humans to
eradicate it.
Therefore, a virus with a high fatality rate is not terrible, because it does
not even have enough time to mutate, and it is easy to cause vigilance.
Although it is very destructive, the scope of impact is relatively small.
But highly transmissible viruses are dangerous. They are likely to spread
rapidly in a short period of time, and then begin to mutate because there are
enough infected individuals.
With enough infected individuals, you can't even imagine how many variants a
virus can mutate.
Just like the epidemic before the disaster, the populous country to the south
of us revealed news that 7684 variants of the same virus were discovered.
Under this scale of mutation, it really only knows what the virus will look
like. Maybe there will be a lottery lottery winning the result of mutating
into a highly pathogenic, fatal, and extremely easy to spread super The virus
comes.
Regarding the ancient virus outbreak in Lucia, perhaps Yan Nation can rely on
the distance and cold weather to ignore its influence, but what if a similar
situation occurs in the country?
So it’s always good to send a medical team to Lucia to accumulate experience
in dealing with the spread of the ancient virus.
