Bloody Lung Disease, Mutated Scale Disease and Petrification Disease.
Earlier, Gu Jun had warned Phecda to be careful of these three diseases in the name of the Great Atal. Due to the outbreak of legionella pneumonia all over the world, Gu Jun suggested to start a containment campaign against legionella bacteria. For this, Phecda had communicated and cooperated with the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
But it still happened.
The lab at the epidemic zone had just released the PCR result, legionella bacteria. It was confirmed to be a new strain but the serology and bacterial culture would take some time.
After Gu Jun received the call from Tong Ye, everyone returned to the Spell Department.
San Hai City was put on lockdown.
But in the past day, a large number of suspected pathogen carriers had travelled to many cities.
Since ID was not required to buy tickets to the comic convention, it was impossible to find out who would be attending the convention that day.
This was only one of the places where one of the patients, Shen Haoxuan, was active. In total, there were 35 passengers on the bus.
This kind of investigation was not something that could be done by one person. Currently, Phecda, disease control and other government departments were using the Skynet to track down every suspected carrier and patient. They were trying to bring them under control, quarantine and quarantine them as soon as possible.
Many epidemic control measures were in place, if necessary, every affected city would be put on lockdown.
However, this was a huge test for the manpower of any department.
Taking San Hai City for example, with only the local manpower, they would not be able to complete this task.
"Tong Ye, we have to do the best we can." Gu Jun did not want to say that but he had to make it clear, "The power of Bloody Lung Disease can destroy a city, a country or even an entire civilization …"
He was not being an alarmist, all the medical staff at Jiang Xin Hospital were infected, so were the other patients and staff at the hospital.
Among the members in level 3 protective gear, even their leader, He Feng, was showing symptoms.
According to the legend of the land's travellers, humanity was forced to retreat to the South Pole, the Tinder City. In the end, only 10,000 people survived and moved into the cold plains of Dreamlands.
Bloody Lung Disease, Bloody Cough Disease …
No, this wasn't hemoptysis, but it was most likely a precursor disease created by someone who wanted to create hemoptysis.
The World Supernatural Alliance has yet to be born, and the Bloody Lung Disease has already appeared … The future has already been changed, and the prophecy is no longer useful …
Gu Jun had too many questions, but the current situation didn't give him time to think about them slowly, nor did he have any other choice.
That afternoon, they returned to the Spell Department to stay for a while. Gu Jun, Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning and Peacock wrote down their wills and departed for San Hai City as the Special Mobile Force 'Problematic Team'.
Wu Shiyu, Cai Zixuan, and the rest were on standby at the base. They could not all go to San Hai City as they did not know which cities were affected by the pandemic.
The Problematic Team's mission was not only to investigate abnormal forces but also to test whether the Ancient Seal technology would be effective on the patients.
Gu Jun did not have much hope. He knew the Ancient Seal did not have such an effect but science was a test. He prayed that he was wrong.
By 2 pm that afternoon, Jiang Xin Town had more than 500 cases and other hospitals at San Hai City were also experiencing outbreaks. The legionella pneumonia incident could not be dealt with in secret. This was different from the Malformed Banyan Disease and Nightmare Illness. Therefore, the public was informed to evacuate and lockdown.
Actually, for this outbreak, from Doctor Huang Lin's alertness, to the hospital's report, to the city's disease control centre's investigation, to the expert panel's report, and finally to the various departments' implementation of epidemic control measures.
There was no mistake, there was no one to blame, the severity of the situation had already been minimized.
If Doctor Huang Lin did not report in time, if the city's disease control centre dragged on, if He Feng was too careless …
Then the current situation would be 10 times more serious.
However, the legionella pneumonia was too infectious. There were still more than 3,000 cases and the number was still climbing.
Perhaps in another day, the number would reach 30,000 or even more …
On the plane to the military base closest to San Hai City, the group was silent.
Before they got off the plane, they put on special airtight protective gear and carried oxygen tanks on their backs. They did not come into contact with the surrounding air.
On the way to Jiang Xin Town, Gu Jun stared out the window and his heart sank.
The city was in chaos due to the sudden announcement. Pedestrians rushed down the street and the loudspeaker above said, "Please return home as soon as possible. Do not panic and wait patiently for the evacuation plan. Please return home as soon as possible … "
When they entered Jiang Xin Town, it was already evening. Gu Jun had a strange feeling.
It felt familiar, like he had been here before but this was just a normal seaside town, the streets were dead silent …
Suddenly, he saw a banyan tree by the side of the road and then another. There were many banyan trees in this small town.
"The sense of familiarity is due to the banyan trees?" Gu Jun thought. When the car passed a road that was close to the seaside, he remembered.
He frowned and opened a large black and white photo in his mind. In front of a huge and twisted banyan tree by the coast, dozens of people dressed in long gowns of the Republic of China were sitting or standing in several rows. Regardless of their height, fat or thin, male or female, old or young, these people all had the same haggard face.
The Afterlife Cult.
"This picture was taken here, this is the place …"
Gu Jun had a feeling of certainty, and a huge wave of anger burned in his heart.
This could not be a coincidence, there had to be some secret activity from the Afterlife Cult behind this epidemic.
Gu Jun immediately changed his route. He decided not to go to the town hospital. Uncle Dan, Lou Xiaoning and Malachite took another car and headed there with the ancient seal stone. He asked the driver who was a local, "Is there a big banyan tree that grows by the seaside?"
"You mean the one near the lighthouse?" The driver said, "That old banyan tree is very famous around here."
'Lighthouse? ' Gu Jun had the driver drive over. Peacock, Gold and Aquamarine followed behind him.
Not long after, they saw the old, twisted banyan tree. It was almost the same as the one in the photo, just a little more weathered. Right behind the big banyan tree, there was a small stone path that extended out of the sea. At the end of the stone path stood a small white lighthouse that was three to four stories tall. The light at the top of the tower was weak.
The city-wide alarm sounded. The night sky was already gloomy, and the pitch-black sea was rumbling.
Even though they were separated by the protective shield, Gu Jun could smell the scent of blood on the sea breeze.
Gu Jun took a deep breath. He lifted the oxygen tank on his back and the automatic rifle. He led the way down the stone path towards the lighthouse.
