The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 218 Joe

If it wasn't for the serious doctor who passed the news to his classmates, the people in the institute would never know that there will be this virus outbreak, then there will be no such investigation, and naturally they don't know that Avic City will What did it develop into.

In addition, since the mobile phone signal in this city is gone, do you know if there is any network available?According to Ling Xiao's feeling, there should be no, so that the time will be delayed as much as possible, so that outsiders will have no chance to find out the problem, then the virus will have the opportunity to follow the patient to other cities, and then spread again.

The only thing that is not quite right is that the virus attacks so quickly and is so strong. These two points on the virus directly make most people who are sick have no energy at all, and they will not drive out of the city. Naturally I can't go to other cities to survive. After all, the distance between cities is relatively far, and I can't move without a car.

According to those three people, there is no gasoline in Avic, so will the gas station run out of gasoline?It shouldn't be, the gas station should buy some when it is about to run out of gas.If it didn't, someone must have taken most of the gas, who would it be?And why do you want to do this?Always need a reason.

Or a bold idea popped up in Ling Xiao's mind: If there is not much gasoline, will the citizens fight?But now most of the citizens are lying down and naturally they won't fight, so could all this be played off by someone?She couldn't help thinking this way.

In the end, she found that these are all unsolvable questions, and these questions have no answers for the time being, unless the mastermind can be found.In addition, Ling Xiao feels that this so-called virus should be a new species.

When Ling Xiao thinks of this, he may immediately get a headache. If a new virus appears, it means that everyone knows nothing, which means that everything needs to be started from scratch.

While thinking about a series of questions, she put on her gloves and began to check the situation. She wanted to know what good things the research center had.

It is also necessary to take a good look at the research concepts of these researchers, and see if the things they store can be used in the current situation as soon as possible.

Since this virus is a new type, if you want to study it thoroughly, you don't know how long it will take. Why don't you see if you have a key?
When he came in this time, Ling Xiao specially brought a lot of hard drives to copy the data, so that he could take it back and study it carefully.

David gave a list of people before she came, and he did the research after he found out that there was something wrong with the research center.

Ling Xiao read the relevant information on the plane, and soon became the focus of attention.

The person she followed was a researcher at the research center named Joe.

The original owner had also paid attention to him, because he had read many papers he had published.

This person knew at a glance that he belonged to a person who devoted himself to studying the subject.

David had wanted him to come to the Institute.

Unexpectedly, he went to the research center.

The reason why David wanted to dig him into the research institute.

It's because Joe's IQ belongs to the super-high family.

Although born as a commoner, he has the potential to become a top scholar.

It's a pity that the research center took the lead and didn't know how to catch up with Joe.

He didn't give the Institute a chance at all, and David later regretted that he was too late.

The original owner felt a little pity when he found out, and then gradually got busy with his own affairs and didn't care about him.

After there was a possibility of an accident in the research center this time, David specially marked Joe's information.

Ling Xiao naturally took a quick look at the information, and soon understood what David meant, and there was indeed something wrong.

You must know that after Joe entered the research center, no papers he authored appeared. This is not quite right, and it is impossible no matter how you look at it.

Thinking about how Joe published several research-worthy papers when he was still studying before he graduated. How come there are fewer papers when he arrives at the research center?

According to the memory of the original owner, this research center is funded by a large consortium. After entering the research center, you will find that there are more things that can be studied, and all the instruments are better.

In this case, more papers should be published, unless Qiao is exhausted, is there such a possibility?Ling Xiao also found a lot of papers published in journals with high impact factors in the data.

If you take a closer look, you will find that Joe’s name still appears in the paper, but he is often the last author. You must know that only the first or second author in the paper is considered useful in many cases.

Then there must be something tricky about it. Ling Xiao looked at the names of these works and checked them. They are all the heads of the research center.

Pooh!This is definitely tricky!This is definitely not a coincidence, Ling Xiao does not think that all people engaged in scientific research are perfect characters.

There has never been a shortage of people in this world who like to cheat and rob other people's achievements. High education does not mean high quality.

In fact, there was once someone who co-authored a book with his colleagues, and he wrote a chapter of the whole book.

That chapter was only [-] words, and it was written very generally. Later, the co-authors made major revisions.

Correct the wrong parts, the number of words has also become more than 10,000 words, it can be said that many places have been changed.

But that colleague still listed him as the second author, and it is said that this colleague treated him very well.

Even after the book was published, that person happened to be transferred from the original university.

Went to another university with that book and got a senior title.

When he mentioned this book to others, he never mentioned revision.

Smearing others when referring to former co-workers.

I can't wait to take the credit for writing the book on myself.

Never mentioning that the main credit for this book is that of a former colleague.

It is faintly revealed that the main chapters of the book were written by him alone.

I can't wait to be the first author of the storytelling book, not my former colleague.

It can be seen that not all high-level intellectuals are self-reliant, and some like to use it for doctrine.

Ling Xiao naturally felt that Joe might have encountered something and had to give up his thesis.

But after one or two times, will Joe not care all the time?One side is making progress, and the other side is suppressing feelings all the time.

It's like magma rolling under the ground, you can't see what's going on from the outside, but it's definitely not going to explode, and it's amazing when it explodes.

There is a good saying: rabbits are eager to bite people, and they will only get revenge if they blindly squeeze them. In fact, it is unbearable for me to replace them, and I will definitely think of ways to get rid of this situation.

Even after Ling Xiao brought Joe in, he thought about it, maybe he would want to take revenge, since he was squeezed to such an extent, it would be strange if he didn't take revenge.

If it were Joe, what would happen, I don't know.After all, she is not Joe, this is the taste.

Only the person concerned can feel the right and wrong in the process, and no amount of empathy is as good as my own.

And if a person with a high IQ is blackened, ordinary people cannot predict his thoughts at all.

Anyway, Ling Xiao could see Joe's depression from the information, knowing that it was his child.

However, it is regarded as a resource for promotion, and all this will continue.

Of course, Ling Xiao admitted that this was more of her imagination, and she didn't know if it was true or not.

Maybe there is another possibility, it's hard to say in this world.

Or Joe himself doesn't care about the name at all.

It's hard to tell right from wrong in this world.

As for whether these conjectures are correct?

It can only be verified later.

Anyway, it should be a chance to see if it is correct.

Ling Xiao decided to copy the contents of Qiao's computer for a while.

This is a kind of intuition, she always feels that all these events are related to Joe.

After entering the research center, Ling Xiao has ruled out one possibility: the research is out of control.

First of all, Ling Xiao felt very wrong when he found that the mobile signal was missing, and the phone was useless.

Followed by the discovery of the trap for the security personnel, the discovery of the dead body lying outside, and the welding of the security door.

This is full of doubts, followed by the discovery of Trojan horse viruses and crawlers when invading the host, which means something is wrong.

Just when she was going to restore the data, she discovered that there was an extremely cruel trick in the mainframe, and once restored, it triggered the program to destroy the entire research institute.

Fortunately, it was Ling Xiao who got the highest authority of the host, and directly destroyed that program. These all prove that someone is behind the scenes, is it Joe?Or someone else?
That's why Ling Xiao ruled out the possibility that the research was out of control. Generally, places where this kind of virus research is carefully paid attention to for safety. The original owner is a member of the research institute, which gave Ling Xiao the opportunity to see the internal structure of the research institute in person.

You must know that it is impossible for the research institute to be far away from the city. After all, it is impossible for researchers to be far away from the city. In order to study viruses safely, a dual power supply is required. In addition to a research-specific cable, there is also a backup power supply.

In order to ensure the safety of the public, the air in the research center is disinfected again and again when it is discharged, and will not carry viruses unless there is a major accident.

During the investigation, David found that there was no power outage in the research center, and he asked the doctor to know that there was no explosion alarm in the city.

Then it is impossible for the virus to get out of control in the research and cause the leakage problem. In fact, a large number of viruses appear.

If it's right, it's more like someone deliberately spreading the virus, because the patient appeared aggressively.

Even the survey of the receiving doctors showed that those patients had no intersection at all before that.

The only thing in common is that they all live in Avic, but they don't know each other.

All of them lived well, thinking that a festival would be ushered in soon.

As a result, the festival was ruined, because one by one they fell ill.

Ling Xiao was fortunate to have entered this place.

After obtaining the highest control over the computer of the research center.

After discovering the problem, I scanned the intranet again, for fear of being cheated.

Be aware that sometimes there are small logic bomb programs buried in computers that look normal.

A bad thing may kill them who came in, for example, the destruction program just now was strangled by Ling Xiao.

And Ling Xiao set an order that once there is any change, she must obtain her consent, and she doesn't want to die here in the process of searching.

And she also noticed that the robots controlling here, even though they are not real robots, but so-called manipulators, they can use various weapons to attack, and they also found traces of drones.

In fact, there are relatively few drones now, and Ling Xiao can be sure that the technological development of this world is not as good as that of the previous world.

Even so, she was still very careful, because what if a guy with amazing talent appeared?
In fact, there was once a scientific concept left by the great people of the last century, and it is not outdated until now.

It can be seen that perhaps the overall technological development is not too strong, but there are great people.

It doesn't prevent some great people from crossing the era and everything is awesome.

Ling Xiao warned himself not to underestimate anyone.

Including that Joe.

After controlling all the hosts.

She just went to Joe's office with some excitement.

Going to see if there are any data viruses, maybe there may not be.

Ling Xiao quickly found Joe's computer, and when he opened it, he found a password on it.

She should have used Joe's password in the normal way, but how would she know?

Fortunately, she compiled a small software that can quickly find out what the password is.

She took out the USB flash drive and prepared to use the software to open Joe's computer and see the secrets.

But before she was about to reach out, she heard an exclamation from outside.

They should have found something.

"Come on people!"

Ling Xiao was taken aback.

After putting away the USB flash drive, I hurried over to see what it was.

At this time, other people also ran over, all holding guns.

It turned out that someone followed the bloodstains to find the place and found a door.

After spending a lot of effort, he opened it and saw that it was an extremely cold freezer.

I was seeing the corpses of many people in the freezer, and each of them was arranged in a unique shape.

Others saw it too, no wonder those people didn't see anyone alive or dead, it turned out that the dead bodies were all inside.

Ling Xiao is not very interested in ice storage. She used to think that all viruses and bacteria would die after zero degrees, but later she studied medicine and found out that it was not at all.

In many cases, the virus can remain active at minus [-] degrees, and it will even resume infectivity as soon as the temperature returns to normal, so Ling Xiao is not at ease about the freezer after that.

In addition, she didn't know if there would be anything in those corpses, so she hurriedly asked people to close the door. Anyway, someone else should be responsible for their deaths.

They just ran in to take a look, and what they need most now is to know what the virus that is raging now is like.

Ling Xiao was going to check Qiao's computer first, but she didn't know if there was anything left.

If Joe can be more ruthless, physically destroy the hard drive of his computer.

Then nothing will be left, and they will not gain much.

Now she is still a little worried, wondering who did this incident?
But what is certain is that the people here must be somewhat related.

So many security personnel died outside.

So many people died in it too.

This all proves that the people in the research center are doing something wrong.

Fortunately, Joe did not destroy the hard drive, and there are still many things left.

After waiting for her to open it, she discovered that the password-protected document turned out to be Joe's diary.

After reading the first page, the first feeling is that this Joe's head is different from normal people, and the diary needs to be password-protected?

But she soon sensed that something was wrong. If it was just a diary, why would it be so well protected with a password?It's not worth it anyway.

Of course, there is also a possibility that he did this on purpose, deliberately wanting to see other people's jokes, and of course there is also a possibility that he thinks it is very important.

Regarding this, Ling Xiao thought for a while: So should she continue watching now, or watch it at another time?Ling Xiao quickly made a decision.

First look at the diary of the biggest suspect, and first find that Joe's diary does not have much literary talent and is dry.

As a person studying medicine, there is no requirement for literary talent, and the narrative is very straightforward.

Ling Xiao looked down at ten lines at a glance, and found that Joe's life was very boring.

His IQ is far beyond the average person, and he has no common language with many people.

Then he became obsessed with doing that kind of experimental research.

And when he saw the true colors of those viruses under the electron microscope.

Then all his thoughts are on those viruses, eh!Didn't expect this guy to have such an idea.

After letting Ling Xiao watch it, he felt that Qiao's thinking was different from hers, okay!Ling Xiao still remembers that he was a bit smart in the beginning, and he was not a scumbag.

But it is definitely not the kind of academic master, and naturally does not have the mentality of being arrogant, the mentality of the two is completely different.

Ling Xiao looked at the virus with a bit of awe, out of respect for life.

Viruses will be studied carefully, but they will definitely not be delighted.

Nor does it like to create new viruses.
