Chapter 652 Special Weapon
In a secluded house far away from the wine shop, the bearded man who watched Zuo Zhong leave the warehouse on Yaowan Street and made a mysterious phone call at the door of the Secret Service sat comfortably in the courtyard.

The yard was full of flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers rushed to his face. He picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, looked up at a young man with glasses opposite, and asked lightly.

"Are you sure that the Chinese intelligence officer was infected with the No. [-] weapon? There will be no accidents, right? This matter is related to the boss's important plan. If any omissions occur, you and I will be responsible."

The tone of the young man wearing glasses was affirmative: "Of course, according to the information from Harbin, 0.6 grams of the No. [-] weapon can infect an adult and form an epidemic on the scale of a hundred people①."

"Very well, I can rest assured."

Seeing the scene of wailing everywhere in Jinling City, the bearded expression became cheerful, he filled the teacup and rushed towards the young man with the patterned side, and said something seriously.

"You are a hero of the empire, please."

"Thank you."

The young man looked respectful, and quickly got up, took the teacup with both hands, twirled it gently twice, and pointed the pattern to his beard, then raised the teacup to his forehead, and drank it down to show his gratitude.

After finishing the drink, he asked a question softly: "Isn't it a pity that the boss exposed the firm that has been in business for so long for the sake of a deputy director? Building a warehouse is expensive."

Faced with this question, the bearded man shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "In the face of the general situation of the country, money is meaningless. Tactics need to consider costs, but strategies don't."

The young man thought about it for a while, and nodded thoughtfully. Thinking of the underage Chinese intelligence officer, the smile on his face gradually became ferocious and full of malice.

the other side.

The patients in the Renxin Hospital had been transferred to other places, and barbed wire fences and horses were pulled up outside the gate, and armed spies with submachine guns surrounded the surrounding area tightly.

This place has become a quarantine area, and all those who may come into contact with the copper lock are temporarily quarantined here. There is a strong smell of medicine in the air, and the passing medical staff look solemn.

Outside a ward in the inpatient building, Zuo Zhong was wearing protective clothing and a gas mask, quietly looking at the copper lock inside through the glass curtain wall, and after a long time asked Ling Sanping, who was also wearing a gas mask.

"Can you determine the type of bacteria that caused the disease? Is there any way to save his life? For those of us who have had close contact with him, how likely are we to be infected? Tell the truth."

Ling Sanping stood there silent for a few seconds, and sighed: "Seeing the spots on his body, I have a guess. The results of the bacterial culture just came out, and it is a mutant of plague."

plague!

Even though Zuo Chong had been mentally prepared, his mind was still buzzing when he heard that the name of plague might be a bit unfamiliar, so it was replaced by another more well-known name, that is, the Black Death.

This is a severe infectious disease. The bacteria are widely prevalent among wild rodents. The main routes of transmission are the bites of mice and fleas, droplets, skin wounds, and digestive tract infections.

Historically, this bacterium has repeatedly caused high-mortality pandemics. In the 5000th century, it caused about [-] million deaths in Europe, causing great harm to human civilization.

Boccaccio's "Ten Days Talk" said that every day, even every hour, a large number of corpses are transported to the churches in the city, but the churchyard can no longer accommodate them.

When the cemetery was full, long and wide pits had to be dug around to bury hundreds of corpses later, just like cargo piled up in the hold of an ocean-going cargo ship.

Zuo Zhong felt that his hands were trembling. He didn't want his subordinates to see him lose his composure, so he put his hands behind his back and tightly held them together, and cast his sad eyes on the unconscious copper lock.

Beside, Ling Sanping continued to answer: "At present, you and most of the people have no symptoms of infection, only Gui Youguang has itching, but this does not mean that your body does not carry bacteria.

This may be because you are all professional soldiers with strong bodies and strong resistance, or because the plague bacteria that the copper lock came into contact with have low activity and small doses. In short, you must accept medical observation.

What is strange is that according to our latest inspection, the staff of the wine shop that has been found have not been infected with the plague. This phenomenon is very similar to the poisoning behavior against a specific target.

As for the treatment, in 1896, a French bacteriologist injected serum from recovered patients and animals into 23 plague patients in Hong Kong City. The effect was very good, and the fatality rate was about [-]%.

However, due to the inability to standardize the injection dose, the case fatality rate of patients receiving antiserum treatment was 30.00%. "

Give it a try.

These three words are very simple to say, but they are related to the lives of brothers who live and die together. Zuo Zhong closed his eyes and fell into a tangled, 30.00% death rate, whether to do it or not.

Fortunately, I kept a certain distance from other people who saw Tongsuo scratching their ears and cheeks.

Gui Youguang may have been infected by droplets when he asked about the terrain and personnel of the wine store.

It was even more fortunate that Gu Qi and the others were investigating the case and did not participate in this operation. Otherwise, the Secret Service would have been taken over by someone. Suddenly, Tongsuo's extremely painful groans came from the ward.

In order to prevent the copper lock from scratching and hurting himself, the hospital staff fixed it on the hospital bed with a restraint belt, which woke up the other party from a coma and immediately began to struggle desperately.

Under the movement of this little guy, the steel bed feet kept slid across the floor, making sharp and piercing rubbing sounds. Seeing this, the doctors and nurses inside rushed up and pressed the copper lock.

This scene made the hesitant Zuo Zhong make up his mind, and he said solemnly to Ling Sanping: "Let's use anti-venom serum therapy, I don't know how to do it, so I won't talk about it, everything is up to you.

By the way, this time I went to Germany to perform a mission. I heard that there is a drug called Prontosil that can inhibit bacteria. Have you heard of it? I suggest you ask your foreign students about it.

In addition, can Tongsuo temporarily restore calm? I have some important questions to ask him. This concerns the safety of the entire Jinling, and he must not be allowed to spread the plague bacteria in the city again. "

Zuo Zhong didn't know if Bailangduosi had been invented, and he didn't know if it had a therapeutic effect on the plague, but if there was a glimmer of hope, it was worth a try, anyway, the situation wouldn't be worse.

"Hundred waves rest?"

Ling Sanping muttered a few words, and kept this matter in his heart. He knew that as Zuo Zhong, he could obtain some confidential information that ordinary people could not touch. This medicine might really be effective.

Immediately, he knocked on the glass curtain wall and gave an order to the doctor: "Inject the patient with phenobarbital, 20 mg, and observe carefully. If the situation is wrong, immediately inject glucose solution and sodium chloride solution."

Renxin Hospital developed well when it was in the hands of Liang Yuandong. After being assigned to the Secret Service, it has carried out many personnel training and equipment upgrades. The treatment level is not inferior to that of the Central Hospital.

Hearing the dean's instructions, the nurse quickly prepared the medicine and the needle, and the experienced doctor took the needle and saw the timing, and directly pushed the tranquilizer into the vein of the copper lock.

Soon, the screams subsided.

Zuo Zhong checked the protective equipment on his body again, pushed open the door and walked to the hospital bed. When he saw the sweating brass lock, he felt sore, and raised his hand to touch the other's hot forehead.

This is just the early symptoms of plague infection, and then symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, pneumonia, and bleeding will appear one by one. At that time, there is no other way but to depend on God's will.

"Brass lock? Brass lock?"

"Yes, deputy director."

Zuo Zhong called out a few words in a soft voice, and Tongsuo, who regained his senses, tried to open his eyes, and exhausted all his strength to say a few words, with prayers, pain, and many complicated emotions in his tone.

"Tongsuo, don't worry, Dr. Ling and I will definitely save you, now listen to me, have you ever encountered anything unusual in that wine shop, think carefully, it's very important.

Especially if you have touched, eaten or drank anything alone, because no one in the wine shop has a problem except you, we suspect that someone is deliberately poisoning you. "

Zuo Chong asked a key question, the plague bacteria would not fall from the sky, there must be a transmission route, the perpetrators would not be able to infect themselves and then spread it to the copper lock.

If you find this way, you can find the person who poisoned you, so you can find out how many plague bacteria the other party has, and where these bacteria are hidden. These two things are related to the lives of countless people.

The brass lock on the hospital bed was a bit confused due to the high fever. Hearing the inquiry that seemed to be far away in the sky, he began to recall. After an unknown amount of time, a kind smiling face flashed in the chaotic memory.

He said with difficulty: "Before I got off work and reported to the office, the assistant manager of the wine shop asked me to throw away a broken wine bottle in the warehouse. At that time, there was a puddle of sticky transparent objects on the bottle.

After I went out, I threw the debris into the garbage dump not far from the gate, Deputy Director, send someone to find those things quickly, otherwise there will be more people like me, I am really uncomfortable. "

"okay, I get it."

Zuo Zhong was happy and sad at the moment. He was happy because he had found a clue, and sad because he watched his subordinates suffer. He tried his best to calm down and asked the assistant manager's name before turning around and leaving the ward.

After going out, two secret agents with manual sprayers ②sprayed potassium permanganate and high alcohol on his body in turn. Disinfection is necessary to control the spread of plague bacteria.

He raised his hand and turned it around twice to make sure that the protective clothing was covered with the liquid medicine, and then gave Ling Sanping some instructions and came outside another ward, where he saw Gui Youguang lying on the bed with his legs crossed and sleeping.

This bastard has a big heart.

Behind the gas mask, Zuo Zhong smiled lightly, walked into the office next to him, picked up the phone and connected Gucci, and asked him to send someone to collect the wine bottles in the garbage dump and arrest the deputy manager of the wine shop.

It's just that the second thing doesn't hold much hope,

The other party will not foolishly wait for someone to catch him.
