Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 614 Reason
He didn't believe that anyone would make such a big fuss over a few cans of vaccine, and even bring people from the CDC with them when the National Guard sets out...

CDC is the abbreviation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of America!
The most important function of the CDC is to develop and implement response plans for public health emergencies.

Those people in American blockbusters who appear at disaster scenes wearing full body protection are generally from the CDC.

"Ebola vaccine"?
What about the liar?
If someone simply stole the vaccine, there would be no need to bother the CDC to intervene.

Generally, where there are vaccines in a laboratory, there are viruses!

Shanying glared at Michael, who looked helpless, and said to Old Joe: "Notify Quetta and ask him to come back..."

Old Joe listened, nodded and said: "I have just notified Quetta. He asked to stop the ship, but was rejected by the National Guard.

Unless he jumps overboard, he has no choice but to follow along."

Shanying heard this, frowned and said: "Let Quetta report his location, I will arrange someone to pick him up.

It's not worth taking this risk for three thousand fucking bucks!"

Shanying looked at Michael, whose face was uncertain, and shook his head and said, "What you should do for this kind of thing is to report it...

If someone puts pressure on you, I have a few friends in Washington. I can't do anything else, but I can still expose the matter.

The Ebola virus leak is a very serious public safety issue, and agencies such as the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security should be involved.

There is absolutely no need for a small policeman like you to rush to the front..."

Michael was stunned for a moment and said, "Virus leak? No way, they said it was just the vaccine that was stolen..."

Just as Michael turned around to seek an answer, a middle-aged bald man with a gentle appearance and a big beard came over and said, "Someone did steal the virus and vaccine from the Winberni laboratory, but the actual danger is not great.

This is Alaska. The temperature where they fell is around minus 11 degrees Celsius. The activity of the Ebola virus will decay rapidly under such temperature conditions.

The DCD personnel who accompanied the team to the scene of the incident were there just to ensure safety.”

The bald middle-aged man stretched out his hand to Mountain Eagle and said with a smile: "My name is Terry Glassman, and I am currently a consultant to the Department of Homeland Security, specializing in providing advice on similar security incidents.

I am also a professor of biomedical science at Harvard University. I am very interested in the animals here, so I took the initiative to ask to come here. "

Shanying glanced at Glassman's outstretched hand, shook his head, and said to Michael, who was obviously helpless: "If I were you, I would call Redick.

No official personnel showed up, only a consultant and a group of people from private companies...

I don’t know about you, but I always think of certain scenes in movies.

Some big companies make mistakes and then try to cover them up, and things get worse and worse.”

Shanying said to Lao Qiao: "Let Huai En arrange for someone to take a boat to pick up Quetta. We can't get involved in this kind of thing. Whoever touches it may be unlucky."

After hearing this, Glassman took a step forward with a helpless expression and said, "Sir, you may have misunderstood us..."

Shanying did not give Glassman a chance to continue. He waved his hand and said, "NO, I don't think there is any misunderstanding here...

I can't trust you just because you concealed the existence of the Ebola virus.

I don't understand the principles of virus technology, I just know that people who steal viruses are very dangerous.

As a vaccine developer, you are so anxious. I am afraid of the tricks involved, so I can only say sorry to you. "

Shanying pointed at the camp and said, "This is my camp. As long as you pay, I have no problem staying here.

But until I have all the answers, my people will not be involved in what you call search and rescue operations."

Seeing Shanying's firm attitude, Glassman hesitated for a moment, turned around and whispered a few words with the representatives of Merck and Granstrike, then returned to Shanying again, pointed to a few small houses converted from containers not far away, and said, "Can we rent those houses?"

Shanying shook his head decisively and said, "No, those are my staff residences. If you want to stay, you have to set up your own tents.

If you don't have any, my camp store has some!"

After sending the group away in a rude manner, Shanying grabbed the uneasy Michael and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what's going on?

There are holes in their words, don't tell me you don't feel it at all!

Man, it's not a good habit to drag your friends into a whirlpool..."

Mountain Eagle’s attitude made Michael a little nervous. He said anxiously, “Sir, I received calls from the state government and the state police headquarters. They all asked me to cooperate with these people, and I had no choice.

They told me that the man who crashed the plane was a corporate spy and that he had in his hands the Ebola vaccine developed by the Winnipeg Laboratory, a joint venture between Merck and Grunstrike.

It's normal that they don't want the vaccine that they spent huge amounts of money to develop to fall into the hands of others, so I didn't think much about it.

The Brown Bear Camp is the closest place to the incident. Neither the business spy nor the searchers can avoid this place, so..."

Shanying looked at Michael, who still had a green face, and he sighed slightly...

How can it be that simple?
The development of a vaccine does require huge investment, but the Ebola vaccine is really not a money-making project. It can even be said that it is a project with no chance of making a profit at all.

Because the incubation period of the Ebola virus is very short, it has been confined to Africa and there is no sign of it spreading outward.

If the corporate spy had only stolen the vaccine information and samples, there would be no need for people from the two companies to be so nervous.

Because even if the vaccine and information were stolen, someone could copy it, but they wouldn't be able to compete with them.

In areas where Ebola is spreading widely, people and countries there simply don’t have the money to buy vaccines, so in the end, charitable organizations such as the WHO and the World Vaccine Alliance have to pay for them. In this case, even if the FDA’s restrictions are put aside, who can compete with giant companies like Merck and Grunstrike?
And now...

Merck and Granstrike sent representatives at the same time, and also mobilized the Alaska state government and the National Guard, but the United States did not take any action...

If there is no trick here, Shanying feels that he can throw his brain away!

Michael probably knew that the other party was hiding something, but his identity as a policeman required him to stick to his duties first. Finding the person first and then considering other issues was the correct order for him.

He subconsciously didn't want to think of the worst!

Shanying checked the slow-cooking beef and potatoes, then sat back and pulled Michael to sit down...

Taking out his cell phone and a camera and showing them to Michael, Shanying said in a deep voice: “It’s not difficult to find out what happened…

We can collect some information about the Ebola virus through the Internet, and then I will call my friend for advice...

Then you can consider whether to continue to cooperate with them or just break your leg and go to the hospital to recuperate for a few months."

Michael and his brother Scott grew up in Alaska. They went to police academy after graduating from high school and then inherited their father's will and became state troopers.

To be honest, they are not really that smart...

Watching Shanying turn on the computer and use the search software to start searching, Michael looked at the densely packed text on the computer. He struggled to read it for a while, and then regretfully discovered that there were many words in it that he didn't recognize.

Shanying glanced at the depressed Michael, and he suddenly shook his head with a bit of amusement...

Everyone thinks America is a great place, but most people ignore the fact that life expectancy here ranks 50th in the world...

The illiteracy rate here is as high as 21%, and 54% of adults have reading ability only at the sixth grade level of primary school.

Dyslexia is the most common problem in America. Famous actors such as Spielberg and Tom Cruise suffer from this problem.

Shanying did not point out Michael's embarrassment. He skillfully searched various public information for cross-comparison, and then could not help but frowned.

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa...

Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia are the hardest hit areas, where cases are increasing at a rate of 970 per week so far.

The World Health Organization urgently mobilized a large number of medical volunteers to enter West Africa to help the three countries fight Ebola. The United Nations established an Ebola Emergency Response Mission to enter West Africa to assist the World Health Organization in coordinating work with surrounding countries.

These are still normal, but American media revealed that on September 9 this year, a Liberian took a plane to Texas to visit relatives, and then showed symptoms four days after landing...

After the guy felt unwell, he went to the Texas Presbyterian Hospital for treatment. Surprisingly, the doctor there did not test him for Ebola, but just gave him some medicine and sent him home.

It was not until September 9 that the guy's condition worsened and he was hospitalized again. Only then was he isolated for treatment, and then on October 28, he died in the hospital.

According to media reports, the CDC intervened and quarantined all people who had contact with the deceased. No major problems were found so far, and then there was no news...

Given the nature of the American media, how could such a serious safety accident be downplayed so lightly?
Shanying turned the computer to Michael, asked him to watch it by himself, and then called Morrie...

After a long conversation at the airport, Mori completely put himself in the right place...

As soon as the call was connected, the guy said enthusiastically: "Hey, Shan, how is it in Alaska? I heard that the temperature has dropped there. Are you sure you can get used to it there?"

Shanying smiled and said, "I think this place is great, the air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful. I would be even happier if there were no messy people coming to cause trouble."

Mori paused and said in confusion: "What do you mean? Someone is causing trouble for you?

It's impossible, the 'Losers Alliance' didn't get any news..."

Shanying listened and said with a smile: "It may not be specifically aimed at me, but it did have an impact on me.

Maury, help me find out about the Ebola virus incident in Texas in late September or early October...

I have been in America, and it is a bit illogical that such a big thing was not reported by the media."

After listening to this, Mori sighed and said, “At the end of September and the beginning of October, a madman named Jackal went on a killing spree in New York and Texas, causing a series of troubles.

Then you go to Los Angeles and kill people everywhere.

Someone from the Alliance of Losers has calculated that the number of Americans who died at the hands of the two of you in the month of October was more than the number of American soldiers who died in Afghanistan in the past three years combined.

There was a very serious situation within the FBI, and it was in a semi-paralyzed state throughout October, and it has not fully recovered yet.

The media's attention was diverted, and in order to suppress the media, all relevant law enforcement departments used all their strength.

The Ebola virus in Texas caused one death, so it’s normal that no one paid attention to it…”

Shanying heard this and shook his head and said, "No, it's not normal. Please help me check it out. I always feel that there is something fishy going on here.

Now people from Merck and Glenn Stryker are in my camp, saying that corporate spies stole the Ebola virus and vaccine from the Winnipeg laboratory in Canada..."

Mori is a real experienced person. He made his own judgment without even hearing the whole story...

"It shouldn't be people from the two companies who come forward in this situation...

Please wait, give me half an hour, I will contact the people from the Losers Alliance and ask them to help you check it out."

Mori thought for a moment and said, "Shan, before there is a result, no matter what those people say, don't agree to any of their conditions."
