Chen Chen had always believed that the Galaxy pendant must have other ways of releasing energy other than this primitive collision release.
Unfortunately, other than this most primitive release method, Chen Chen was unable to release the energy from the Galaxy pendant by soaking it in chemicals, heating it, freezing it, or any other method to stimulate the Galaxy pendant.
Still, this was an alien technology. In the movie, the other party was a civilization that had long dominated the galaxy and could destroy Earth with a single shot. Therefore, it was not surprising that Chen Chen could not solve the mystery of the Galaxy pendant.
Just as Chen Chen returned to the laboratory and was about to continue practicing "Field", Chen Chen's phone suddenly rang. Chen Chen took it out and saw that it was a call from Qian Wenhuan.
"Boss, there's a sudden epidemic in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia."
Qian Wenhuan sounded anxious. "Since the evening of the day before yesterday, more than three hundred people have been hospitalized with almost the same symptoms. They're all nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, internal bleeding, external bleeding, fever, and other symptoms. Windhoek Hospital is overcrowded and they're asking for emergency help from our company!"
"Have they been quarantined?" Chen Chen frowned.
"The officials said they've been quarantined," Qian Wenhuan replied.
"In that case, donate 500 sets of isolation suits and some disinfection equipment to them."
Chen Chen thought for a moment. "Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it's probably Ebola. That's to be expected. Although Ebola mostly breaks out in West Africa, there are occasional outbreaks in South Africa as well. Still, this virus isn't very contagious, so it's nothing to be alarmed about."
"Understood."
Qian Wenhuan agreed and hung up the phone.
Chen Chen did not take this matter to heart. After all, this was not a global outbreak like three years ago. The world had long experienced the horrors of the Ebola virus. Therefore, every country was sparing no effort to stop the Ebola virus.
Moreover, as a virulent virus, Ebola would always self-destruct due to its high fatality rate and rapid killing rate. Therefore, it had not spread on a large scale until now.
Therefore, Chen Chen was not worried that Windhoek could not stop the spread of the virus. It was enough to set up the quarantine zone.
With this in mind, Chen Chen looked at the poker cards on the table. With a gentle wave of his hand, the entire deck of cards flew into Chen Chen's hand like swallows returning to their nest.
At this point, Chen Chen's mastery of "Field" was comparable to the mastery of the protagonist in the middle of Chronicle.
This was the result of Chen Chen's training over the last few months.
Of course, in terms of intensity, Chen Chen was still a long way off. So far, Chen Chen had only absorbed less than thirty crystalline fragments, which was less than one percent of what the movie protagonist had absorbed.
As a result, the strength of Chen Chen's Field energy increased extremely slowly. Until now, Chen Chen could only move objects weighing 500 grams.
However, if it was not strong enough, it could be made up for with the corresponding weapons.
With a thought from Chen Chen, a box floated out of Chen Chen's pocket and opened with a click. Several almost completely transparent graphene cards flew out of it.
As Chen Chen stretched out his hand, the cards seemed to come alive, flying up and down in his palm.
With a flick of Chen Chen's finger, the graphene cards flew out one by one and nailed themselves onto the head of the mannequin five or six meters away.
There was a hint of satisfaction in Chen Chen's eyes. Compared to obtaining a huge amount of power in one go and having difficulty controlling it, Chen Chen preferred to increase his strength bit by bit. This way, he could exert his strength to its fullest extent.
Chen Chen exercised for a while and seemed to suddenly think of something. He sat at his desk and turned on the computer while saying, "X, hack into the Namibian internal network and check the recent situation of infectious diseases."
"Understood!"
Little X immediately responded. Then, the computer began to run at high speed. Web pages opened and closed one after another. After half a minute, several special web pages were displayed in front of Chen Chen.
"This is the recent situation regarding infectious diseases. In Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, a total of 1,230 people are suspected to be infected with the hemorrhagic fever virus. Now, these areas have been completely sealed off. Among them, 321 are receiving treatment in the hospital. The Windhoek City Hall has announced to the public that only 300 people are infected, hiding the true number of infections.
"Not only that, with Windhoek as the radiation point, seventeen cities around it, including Bergland, Okahandja, Wilhelmstahl, South Lovatil, and fifteen villages around it, have also experienced similar outbreaks of the disease. The earliest outbreak of the disease was three days ago."
Chen Chen frowned when he heard this. "In other words, Windhoek is the center of the infection. At the same time, it took three days to infect all the populated areas within a radius of hundreds of kilometers?"
"Yes," Little X replied.
"Something's not right. This isn't the rate of transmission of Ebola that requires bodily fluids to spread."
Chen Chen thought for a moment and said again, "Expand the scope. Check the internal network of all countries in Africa. Find any similar outbreaks and summarize them for me."
After that, Little X continued to work.
This time, it took longer. It took about ten minutes before a detailed report with densely packed words was printed out.
"In the African region, eight countries including Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and the Congo have all experienced similar outbreaks."
Little X said, "The earliest discovery in the Congo was seven days ago. However, due to the many similar outbreaks in the Congo's history, it didn't attract much attention from other countries. Currently, the outbreak in the Congo has expanded to 13 cities and 25 villages. The number of infected people has exceeded 5,000."
Chen Chen's expression turned grim. While listening to Little X's report, he looked at the end of the report and saw a shocking number.
The total number of reported infected people and hidden infected people in each country had exceeded 30,000!
"Something's not right, something's really not right..."
Chen Chen muttered in a low voice and then said, "Pull up the number of infected people related to the Ebola outbreak in the past 40 years and compare it with the current outbreak."
Following Chen Chen's order, a comprehensive graph of the data appeared on the computer screen.
"The first outbreak of the Ebola virus was in 1976. When the virus first broke out, 270 people were killed before it disappeared. The second major outbreak was in 1995, 245 people died of the disease. The most recent outbreak was in 2018, a total of 1,600 people were infected and 1,000 died. "
Following Little X's report, Chen Chen saw that the graph representing the most recent outbreak, whether it was the number of infected people or the scope of the outbreak, was more than ten times larger than the previous outbreaks.
"Sure enough, this isn't an ordinary Ebola virus."
Seeing this, Chen Chen confirmed his previous thoughts. He put on a solemn expression. "If this virus is allowed to spread in Africa, it will greatly affect the business of the Eco Science City."
With that, Chen Chen stood up. "X, pass down the order. All employees are not allowed to leave the city for the time being. At the same time, have the Blacklight Security Services Department and the Black Knights mobilize and seal off the entire Eco Science City. No locals are allowed to enter!"
