After the attack landed, the helicopter immediately turned around and disappeared from the city.
Apart from the fireball and billowing smoke in the distance, it was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Before the crowd could recover from the shock, the main gate to the Eco Science City opened again. A group of armed soldiers in fully enclosed protective suits came out.
Behind this group of soldiers was a crane and a truck.
The crowd parted to form a path. Then, the two vehicles drove toward the direction where the BBC helicopter had crashed.
After watching the two vehicles leave, Chen Chen patted the colonel beside him to tell him not to be nervous. After that, he went down the city tower and got into the car.
"Back to the research center."
After giving the order to the driver, the car started moving.
On the way back, Chen Chen thought for a while, then took out his phone and made a call.
After only two rings, the call was picked up. A gentle female voice came from the other end.
"Hello, this is the Foster Group. Who are you looking for?"
"Put Norman Foster on the phone," Chen Chen replied.
"I'm sorry, sir. Our chairman is currently resting. May I ask who you really are?" The female voice sounded very apologetic.
"Tell him that I'm Chen Chen."
"Alright, please hold on..."
After this sentence, there was complete silence on the other end.
After about two or three minutes, the call was picked up again. A low voice came from the other end. "Chen Chen, how dare you call me directly. I haven't settled the score with you for killing my son."
"Mr. Norman, I'm just helping you clean up the mess."
Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "Besides, you're going to be a human with a lifespan of hundreds of years sooner or later. You can even watch your grandson die of old age in front of you. In that case, why bother with having children?"
"Heh!"
The voice on the other end of the line sneered and did not answer.
Chen Chen smiled. If the other party really wanted to settle the score with him, it would not have dragged on until now. So, he went straight to the point. "Mr. Norman, I need your help with something. Help me get in touch with the person at the helm of BBC."
“BBC？ What happened? "
"I just blew up a BBC helicopter. There were about three people in it. In addition to the pilot, there was a cameraman and a reporter." Chen Chen thought for a while and explained.
"…"
The other end of the phone was silent for a while before saying, "Have you cleaned up the wreckage and the black box?"
"I'm cleaning up now. I promise I won't be able to find any traces."
"What about the witnesses? Have they been dealt with?"
"There's no way to deal with the witnesses because hundreds of thousands of people saw me blow up the BBC helicopter."
"…"
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before he exploded in anger. "So you're messing with me?"
"No, Mr. Norman, I am very serious."
Chen Chen said solemnly, "Witnesses aren't a big deal because the ones who saw this are a group of Namibian refugees. In fact, if Mr. Norman isn't willing to help, I can go to Mr. Wilson. I'm sure they'll be willing to help me."
The person on the other end of the line did not speak.
After a while, the deep voice spoke again. "I understand. I can help you suppress this matter. You don't even need to show up, but I want 30,000 information credits as a reward."
"At most five thousand."
Chen Chen frowned. "It's just three human lives. Mr. Norman, you can't be thinking that one human life is worth ten thousand information credits, right?"
"They're not ordinary people. They're reporters from the BBC and the BBC is the largest media organization in the Earth Federation."
The voice explained, "If this matter is exposed, your company will instantly lose credibility and become notorious. You'll also be tried by the Federation."
"That won't happen. Besides your Foster family, there are other families standing behind me. They won't allow this to happen."
Chen Chen smiled. "How about this, let's both take a step back. I'll offer ten thousand information credits. This is the highest I can offer. If you don't accept it, I'll go to the Wilson family."
"Deal."
The deep voice answered and immediately hung up the phone.
Chen Chen put down the phone.
The Foster family rose in the City of London and was one of the top ten financial groups in Europe. They were involved in various industries and even dabbled in the media.
The patriarch of the Foster family, Norman Foster, held one and a half percent of the shares of the BBC. Although he had no administrative power, he was still a member of the board of directors. This was why Chen Chen immediately thought of Norman.
In the next few days, no one came to investigate this matter.
It was as if everyone had forgotten that a helicopter had crashed near Eco Science City. Even the BBC reporters stationed near Namibia were called back by the company.
The wreckage of the helicopter was also transported to the industrial area of Eco Science City and disposed of as scrap metal.
In the next three days, under the watch of soldiers with live ammunition, five thousand volunteers were successfully selected.
Not only that, during the test strip test, they also found hundreds of people who had self-healed with antibodies among this group of refugees.
After being infected with BE-006, in the absence of any medical treatment, the mortality rate of the infected was as high as ninety percent. However, there were still ten percent of the infected who could recover without medication.
Chen Chen also took in these people into Eco Science City and specially assigned a group of troops to watch over them.
The blood of these people could be extracted to produce antiviral serum. If someone in Eco Science City was infected with BE-006, the serum could play a huge role.
After all, the vaccine Chen Chen created could only make ordinary people immune to the virus, but it could not treat patients who were already infected with the virus. However, the blood of these self-healed people could be extracted to produce antibodies against the virus.
The vaccine was mainly used to prevent infection while the serum was used to treat the virus.
At the World Health Organization, when Qian Wenhuan reported the birth of the virus vaccine, it immediately caused an uproar.
This speed was more than a month faster than the World Health Organization's prediction. As it was difficult to produce an attenuated and inactivated vaccine for the Ebola virus, the direction of vaccine development was more toward the adenovirus vector vaccine and genetic engineering vaccine.
Compared to the first two, the latter two vaccines were undoubtedly more complicated. They required a large investment of funds and manpower, as well as extremely advanced bioengineering technology.
"Virus wreaks havoc, savior appears? Blacklight Biotechnology once again leads the world — Washington Times. "
"Blacklight Biotechnology is a step ahead in developing the BE-006 vaccine. It's about to enter clinical trials — Time Magazine."
"The greatest natural disaster in human history may be contained. Can the BE-006 vaccine save the world? — New York Times. "
After Qian Wenhuan applied for clinical trials with the World Health Organization, he also brought the news to the world. The next day, the headlines of the media in various countries were dominated by this news.
