The Blacklist

Chapter 279 Extreme Environmentalists

Donald called Reddington directly and asked him why he took the virus?
Reddington replied: "Don, I want Kirk to come to me for his life... The virus is safe with me, and I will send it back to the CDC when this is over."

Donald was very angry with him, but he could do nothing but lead the team to take Miles back.

On the other side, Reddington released the news that he had obtained the virus and hoped that Kirk would come to him; of course he couldn't just wait, he also used various channels to find the doctor who could cure Kirk.

Donald returned to the post office and told Carrie about the situation. He was still very angry, but Carrie comforted him, "Don, you don't know the character of Old Ray yet. Let him do it first. The case will eventually be handed over to us. Now let's deal with Miles's case. This kid has done a lot of things. You will be busy for a while!"

"What about you?" Donald said unhappily, as he was very dissatisfied with the fact that he never worked properly.

"Of course I have other things to do..." Carrie said, "Why, you want me to do your job and collect taxes for me?"

Donald rolled his eyes, angrily ignored him and went on with his own business.

The agents all laughed as they watched the two bickering, and then followed Donald to work. There were many criminals invested by Miles, and all these cases had to be filed one by one, so SER had a lot to do.

Carrie went back upstairs, drank tea, and sorted out the relevant case in her mind. It can be seen that after changing Elizabeth's fate, the world is still trying to continue the original plot. The next step is to find the doctor...

Meanwhile, at a villa in Baltimore, Kirk is receiving a blood transfusion...

As the red blood cells were injected into his blood vessels, he felt much better, but he also knew that the effect of this treatment method was getting worse and worse, and he didn't have much time left. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask again: "Dr. Leffler, how long can my current body last?"

Dr. Sebastian Leffler looked up at him and said with regret, "Mr. Kirk, if there is no matching bone marrow transplant, relying only on blood transfusion therapy... you can only last for a month at most!"

In fact, Kirk already knew the answer. Asking it again at this time was just to satisfy his fantasy. After hearing the answer, he was not surprised, but a little regretful. He nodded, said nothing, and thought about his own things.

The next morning, Reddington provided SER with another blacklisted person, Gaia, through Elizabeth.

Although she didn't quite understand what the relationship was between Gaia and Kirk, Elizabeth still reported the situation to Donald: "Gaia is an extreme environmentalist. In order to draw public attention to environmental issues, she deliberately created chemical leaks, explosions and other terrorist acts, and disguised them as accidents, diverting the attention of the public who were unaware of the situation to the corresponding environmental pollution.

"Since 2013, many accidents that have caused environmental pollution and resulted in large numbers of casualties were all caused by Gaia." Reddington said that Gaia will carry out a new action in the near future that will cause greater harm..."

Miles, who was captured yesterday, has not been tried yet, and many cases have not been handled. Reddington has given Donald a new criminal, which makes Donald wonder whether to thank him or scold him! But when he heard that it was related to environmental pollution and casualties, he decided to do his best to solve the case first, and as for Miles, he would hand it over to the SER and SLR service departments to deal with it first. The SER agents found that the environmental pollution incidents mentioned by Reddington were indeed accidents in the official conclusion, and found a suspicious point: before the accident, safety inspectors had visited the scene, some for regular inspections and some for temporary inspections.

Alam, Nawabi and Mira used various means to retrieve the on-site surveillance footage of the incidents. Although they did not find any clues, they unexpectedly discovered that the safety inspectors were the same person!
After determining that this person was the primary suspect, Donald ordered Alam to fully investigate his identity. At the same time, he asked Nawabi and Mira to send this person's photo to chemical, petroleum and other related companies across the country as a safety warning.

Soon, SER received a message that a natural gas company in the suburbs of New York City reported that one of their pipeline inspectors was found dead in his car due to a heart attack not long ago, but someone entered the booster station an hour ago as a substitute inspector. Their security personnel were looking for this person but had not found him.

Donald did not dare to delay and immediately took Nawabi and Mira to New York by helicopter. He asked Elizabeth and Alam to report to Carrie, who would notify New York law enforcement agencies for assistance.

When Kerry heard about this, although he knew it was useless, he still met Donald's request and notified the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Unit) and CTU State Bureau, FBI-NY Branch, and NYPD in the name of CTU.

Things turned out just as Carrie expected, Gaia broke out of the encirclement and escaped!

Donald took the agents to inspect the scene and inferred from the remaining tools that Gaia was looking for the weakest point of the natural gas booster pipeline in preparation for blasting it.

Alam asked Abby for help and made an explosion simulation. If Gaia's plan succeeds, the explosion of the natural gas pipeline will not only kill thousands of local people, but also affect a nuclear power plant on the Hudson River, threatening the lives of tens of millions of people in New York!

The danger level of the incident has increased to the highest level. CTU Director Cooper personally came to the post office and ordered a full-scale hunt for Gaia.

Kerry, who wanted to be lazy, was naturally drafted into the army and had no choice but to work seriously.

At this point, the facial comparison system found Gaia's true identity in the database: Owen Ayers, a former Navy helicopter pilot who had participated in disaster relief efforts in Fukushima, Japan, and retired due to nuclear radiation. His current condition is unknown - this is the reason why he became an extreme environmentalist.

Carrie started cheating again and gave the forged Gaia certificate that Donald found at the natural gas filling station to Reddington, asking him to investigate its source.

Reddington naturally had his own way. He found the person who forged the document and got Gaia's address.

After Donald in New York learned the news, he immediately took people there and found a modified school bus in an open area in the dense forest on the outskirts of the city. He confirmed that this was Gaia's residence. Inside, he found the tidal data of the Hudson River, confirming the previous speculation - Gaia's target is the nuclear power plant, or the tens of millions of citizens in New York!
