Although Zhang Zian had a vague outline of the event in his mind, there was very little he could do. For such a major event, evidence was needed when making a statement, and it must be irrefutable evidence.
The so-called irrefutable evidence was to prove that the Leshi dog food did contain venison from a sick deer, and to prove that dogs eating this dog food might cause spongiform encephalopathy, or that coyotes eating venison from a sick deer would also get sick … But these were too difficult.
However, these were all too difficult. Scientific evidence had to be like the Canadian researchers, who fed the monkeys only venison and eliminated the interference of other foods. Then, they would observe the monkeys for a long time and ensure that they did not come into contact with other wild animals. Only in this way could the results obtained have a certain degree of credibility. In addition, the researchers themselves had to have the corresponding education and qualifications. Otherwise, who would recognize their research results?
Prions were not viruses or bacteria. To confirm that deer, cattle, or other animals were suffering from infectious spongiform encephalopathy, they could only do a craniotomy.
Before coming to the United States, he inquired about the people at the waste purchase station who suddenly suffered from a strange disease. They were still being treated in the hospital, and they were not dead yet. Of course, it was impossible to do a craniotomy to see if their brains had signs of spongiform encephalopathy. That would be inhumane.
In addition, "aggressive" behavior was difficult to define because most of the infected animals found in the past were mild herbivores such as cows, sheep, and deer. Herbivores themselves were not aggressive, so being infected would cause them to behave abnormally and do something unexpected, which might be mistaken as aggressive. Some people said that this was purely a rumor.
He did not witness the illness of the people at the waste purchase station. He just listened to someone's retelling. The reteller's scientific knowledge was almost zero, and there were many exaggerated descriptions, which made credibility questionable.
But according to Zhang Zian's witness, the coyotes in San Francisco did become more aggressive, which was also corroborated by Father Yang.
The middle-aged woman seemed to have finally persuaded the old lady to stop buying wild venison and decided to buy ordinary venison, the kind produced from the farm.
In fact, venison produced from the farm was not completely safe, because there was an incubation period. The safest and safest choice was not to eat venison at all.
Also due to the existence of the incubation period, it was estimated that 15000 infected deer unknowingly entered the stomachs of humans every year, and this number would continue to grow.
Snowy Lionet grabbed the corner of his trousers and urged him to hurry up and buy meat, or it would be snatched up by others.
"A pound of wild mountain pork." He said to the clerk, glanced at the other elves who were salivating, and added, "And a roast turkey."
Snowy Lionet was very satisfied, but when it saw him walk out of the store with the boar meat and did not intend to buy any more wild venison, it suddenly pulled a long face. But at least there was boar meat, so it barely held back its temper.
After leaving the shop, Snowy Lionet grabbed the corner of his pants. "Stinky man, stop! Why not buy deer meat? I haven't tasted venison before! "
People were coming and going, so it was not convenient for Zhang Zian to talk. He signaled the elfins to come to a secluded corner and told them what he had just found.
"I see …" Old Time Tea nodded. "A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall. Although the venison in the farm is relatively safe, there is no guarantee that there will be no danger."
"Well, whether the venison in the farm is safe or not depends on the quarantine and isolation measures of the farm, because research shows that free-ranging deer have a 30% chance of infection, but captive deer have a maximum of 100% chance of infection — if one deer in the farm is infected, the other deer will not be able to escape. In this sense, the venison in the farm is not completely reassuring, and it is not worth taking such a big risk to satisfy the craving … Although it is useless for you to have a brain, "Zhang Zian said.
Snowy Lionet said angrily, "Bah bah bah! What does the last sentence mean? "
"Nothing. Do you want to eat now or wait until we go back to eat?" He picked up the boar meat and shook it in front of it.
"Hum, go back to eat, it's too dirty outside!" Snowy Lionet seemed to be hypnotized by the boar meat and successfully diverted its attention.
The downtown area of San Francisco was originally dirty and messy, and Chinatown was even worse. Although there were not as many homeless people and feces outside, there was a lot more garbage that people threw away, which was really unappetizing.
He carried the boar meat and roast turkey and continued to move forward with the elfins.
There were no high-end attractions in Chinatown. They came here purely to feel the style of the old era or to eat special food.
As they walked, there seemed to be a group of people in front of them, as if they were watching the fun.
Were they playing chess?
There were also old men in Chinatown who had nothing to do. They were bored and set up a chess game. In a short time, they could attract a large group of equally idle old men to gather together and point at the game.
"Wait."
Famous sniffed and stopped everyone.
"What's wrong?"
"I seem to be … I smell something familiar." Famous stared at the crowd in front of him in confusion. "It floated out from the crowd, but … that person shouldn't be here."
"Who?" Zhang Zian wondered.
Richard fluttered its wings and flew up, circled condescendingly, and landed back on his shoulder, shaking its head and tail excitedly, eager to speak.
Zhang Zian pulled off the string tied to its beak. "Who is it?"
"Quack! You will never guess who is in front of you. "It lowered its voice mysteriously." You will know when you go and see. But I advise you to quietly enter the village. Don't shoot. "
Zhang Zian braced himself and used the pedestrians and the surrounding shops as cover to quietly walk to the periphery of the crowd. He walked to a window and pretended to look at the goods in the window. He adjusted his angle and looked through the reflection of the glass.
"Everyone, you must believe me. The catastrophe is coming, and the plague is about to sweep across the world. At that time, all living beings will be plunged into misery and suffering, and no one will be able to remain unscathed. The things that you cherish the most will disappear — savings, properties, family, friendship, love, everything … If you want to survive this catastrophe, the only possibility is to transform yourself and evolve to a higher level. Only then will you be able to avoid the calamity."
Clear and slightly hoarse Mandarin came from the crowd.
Zhang Zian's heart suddenly shook, and he almost threw the turkey and boar meat in his hands to the ground.
F * ck! This voice …
"We at the Cosmological Information Society have decrypted the information from the universe, predicted the coming of this catastrophe in advance, and tried our best to save the world." The tall Peter Lee smiled and opened his arms, looking around at the crowd. "Come, join us."
