Hu Landuo and Ji Feihang's condition made the rest of them panic.
There were no life-threatening injuries when they were being treated a few minutes ago. However, they looked rather serious now. It was too sudden.
The paramedics ran over immediately and brought Ji Feihang and Hu Landuo into the emergency room in the aircraft.
"What's going on?"
Nat and the rest were walking around anxiously outside the emergency room. Perhaps he was too frustrated, but Nat felt even hotter and more irritated in the protective suit. He wanted to take it off, but Silin stopped him.
"They might have been infected," Silin said.
"Infected? But they're wearing protective suits … "Nat stopped talking all of a sudden. He recalled the injuries on Hu Landuo and Ji Feihang.
Their wounds had been exposed to the air for a long time since they had retreated from the administration building. They might have been infected. However, everyone had to go through the sterilization room before entering the aircraft. They could only enter after going through the virus detector to make sure that they were safe. However, they thought it would be troublesome to take off their protective suits and put them back on again. Therefore, they had been wearing them.
If Hu Landuo and Ji Feihang were really infected with the virus, the detector would not be able to detect it. It must be a new, unknown virus. After all, theoretically, the mother Nightmare Tapir would carry more viruses than its offspring. The summary of the viruses in the offspring Nightmare Tapirs that they had captured was not complete. There was no vaccine or specific medicine for it.
Moreover, Silin suspected that the source of the infection was not here. Hu Landuo and the rest must have been infected when they were at the administration building. Apart from Hu Landuo and Ji Feihang, the people who had followed them to the administration building might have been infected as long as they were injured, had their protective suits torn, or had their breathing masks malfunctioning.
…
A group of soldiers were discussing in a temporary emergency room at the edge of the foothold. Two people were fighting in front of them. One of them was from the army while the other was Kari who had taken off his armor.
It seemed like Kari was getting along well with these people. They must have built up a friendship when they were protecting Silin, Max, and the rest when they were evacuating the central city. These people were all battle maniacs. After treating their wounds and waiting for their mission, both parties would discuss and spar with each other during this time. The others watched from the side as they relaxed before the battle.
As he was fighting, he suddenly heard a loud and imposing command.
"Line up!"
Whether it was those who were leaning against the wall, those who were sitting on the ground, or those who were fighting with Cary, when they heard this order, all of them immediately fell into line reflexively and stood in a proper military posture. The smiles on their faces were all wiped away, and they stood straight as a ramrod, looking straight ahead.
However, after waiting for a long time, they didn't hear any follow-up orders, nor did they see the commanding officer. However, they didn't dare to look sideways, so they kept their eyes fixed on him.
Kari and Mogas, who were watching from the sidelines, looked around in confusion. They didn't see anyone else. The medic and logistics staff looked around as well. After a while, they saw the big bird standing on a high shelf.
One of the medics in charge of the emergency room laughed. "This prankster! Enough, Ghost Claw is messing with you. "
Standing on the high shelf, Ghost Claw pecked at the bird's feathers indifferently. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong at all.
The people who were lined up immediately burst into an uproar. They joined forces to criticize Ghost Claw. However, before they could say anything, they heard a sharp alarm.
Ghost Claw shut its mouth tightly, indicating that it wasn't the one who issued the alarm this time.
This time, it was for real.
…
There was a result from the aircraft. The medical alarm was also coming from there.
Just now, the medic who came out of Hu Landuo's emergency room reported the current situation with a serious expression. It was indeed a new type of virus. Moreover, it would be difficult to find a cure in a short period of time.
After the diagnosis, everyone who had gone to the central administration building with Hu Landuo was quarantined. However, before the quarantine was announced, they were already showing similar bleeding symptoms. Some were coughing up blood. Some were like Ji Feihang. Their corneas were congested, and blood kept flowing out of their nostrils and ears. They couldn't control it at all.
To make matters worse, these people had already come into contact with other people in the foothold. Although most people here were wearing protective suits at all times, there were always people who were injured or whose protective suits were damaged.
It was no wonder that Hu Landuo and Ji Feihang were able to escape from the central administration building so quickly. The purpose of these people wasn't to kill Hu Landuo and the others, but to spread the virus.
The people in the emergency room that Kari and the others were in had never been to the central administration building. However, some of them had come into contact with the people who had returned from the building. Many people in the emergency room were also infected. It was just that their symptoms appeared a little later.
Kari and the other people in the emergency room were sent to the quarantine room that the army had hurriedly built. Mogas was guarding the room. He had been wearing his armor all this time to avoid infection. However, Kari couldn't. Kari's nose was already bleeding. Just like the other infected people, the blood wouldn't stop flowing.
Mengji Aro was in the Eleventh Team's aircraft. He wasn't used to interacting with people. He preferred a quiet place.
A little fellow stood in front of Mengji Aro.
Because he wasn't used to wearing armor, Chifeng had put it away as soon as he returned to the aircraft.
Chifeng looked at Mengji Aro. His expression was just as serious as Mengji Aro's, but the tail behind him betrayed his feelings and intentions. One look at the tail wagging happily and it was obvious that Chifeng was just trying to get close to this new addition who also had a beast-like appearance like him.
However, Mengji Aro's expression grew more and more serious. He just didn't know how to express his intentions.
Suddenly, Chifeng stopped wagging his tail and looked down at his palm. There was blood dripping from his palm. Before Chifeng could wipe his nose, Mengji Aro swept Chifeng up with his wings and went to find Eudy. Silin had told him to look for Eudy when he wasn't around.
Cillin walked out of the legion's spaceplane and rushed toward the quarantine room. Kari and Chifeng were lying in one of the isolation rooms. The armored Mogas and Eudy were standing guard outside while Mengji Aro was sitting inside. Because he was the one who brought Chifeng here and he wasn't wearing any protective gear, the medics in charge of this place wouldn't allow Mengji Aro to run around like this.
Tang Qiuqiu was standing at the door. She was strangely quiet. Because she was wearing armor, Tang Qiuqiu's expression couldn't be seen.
Before Silin entered, he patted Tang Qiuqiu's head. "Don't cry. I'm here."
Chifeng was slightly more energetic than Kari. When Silin arrived, he was playing chess with Mengji Aro while Kari was writing his "last words" on an electronic tablet.
Silin took the tablet away from Kari's hand and tossed it aside. "Last words my ass. I'm here. What are you afraid of?"
Cary chuckled twice. Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood, but his face was very pale. If he hadn't put away his armor, he wouldn't have been lying here, right? But there was no point in regretting now. Kari didn't like to feel sorry for himself.
"Hang in there. I have a way."
Silin's tone was firm. Kari, who didn't have much hope at first, felt a little excited. Chifeng, on the other hand, was grinning so widely that his canine teeth were showing.
The medicine they were using was very good. Silin also took out some of his personal collection and gave them to Chifeng, Kari, and the army's medical team. Now was not the time to hide anything.
After checking on Kari and Chifeng's condition, Silin left in a hurry. Before he left, he talked to Eudy and Czedow for a while and arranged everything here.
Ci Jincheng and the medical team were busy developing a vaccine and medicine against this virus. He asked Silin to join the research team, but Silin refused. Silin had his own plans.
This time, Silin's goal wasn't the virus, but the source of this virus. Based on the "Emperor" in his palm's reaction, Silin could conclude that the main "Nightmare Tapir" was in the city center, and it was very likely to be in the administrative building.
The activated "Nightmare Tapir" had complete antibodies against the hundreds of viruses it carried. Everything would be solved as long as the main body was found.
Right now, inside the city center.
The tall administrative building was surrounded by guards. Be it in the air or on the ground, they were everywhere. The army couldn't reach this place just yet.
On the 100th floor of the administrative building, an old man was leaning on the windowsill with a walking stick and looking at the situation outside. He wasn't wearing a protective suit, and the window was open. He didn't have any intention of guarding against the virus.
The wind carrying the heat of war blew the hair on the old man's temples, but it couldn't blow away the smile on the old man's face.
The old man didn't seem to be in good health. He was wearing a respirator, and every breath he took was heavy and difficult. However, the old man didn't seem to notice it. He looked at the world under the tall building and the battlefield outside the moat with a smile on his face.
He knew that the army came prepared this time, and he also knew that there would be more coming. The situation was not in his favor, but the old man just stood there with a calm smile on his face as if he was enjoying the scenery.
Soft footsteps were heard, and there was the sound of wheels rolling. Behind the old man, a young man pushed a wheelchair over. There was a person sitting in the wheelchair. Only half of the person's face looked like a normal person without any wrinkles. The other half of his face had a metallic luster like a robot. He was wearing loose clothes that covered his entire body.
The old man standing by the windowsill didn't turn around when he saw the two outsiders. He was still looking out the window.
"You're finally here," the old man standing by the windowsill said. He sounded like he was chatting with an old friend.
"You look like you're in a good mood. You're still in the mood to enjoy the scenery," the person in the wheelchair replied in the same tone.
The old man didn't explain. Instead, he said, "If we worked together, the outcome would've been different."
The person in the wheelchair smiled. "We've been on different sides ever since you ordered Red to kill him."
