Crisis Management Game

Gu Ji is now unable to determine how much weapons-grade anthrax powder had leaked from the laboratory.

But fortunately, due to this strange weather, the wind in the entire London city was very weak, about only 5 kilometers per hour, almost the same as the walking speed of humans.

This means that even if anthrax spores leaked, it would be difficult to cause large-scale spread in a short period of time.

"Damn it! What on earth happened in the lab? Why did it leak?"

Huot seems to have a high rank in the base.

He grabbed a research expert wearing a white protective suit and roared loudly. His voice resounded like a bell and was still clearly audible even under the cover of the alarm.

The expert in white was frightened by this sudden question and trembled all over, shrinking back involuntarily.

"Sir, the air filter in the laboratory ventilation system has been removed, but the person in charge on duty did not record it, so..."

"So in your experiment, anthrax spores were able to spread through the ventilation ducts to the base outside the house?!"

"Gulp! Yes, that's it..."

White rushed forward, almost touching the face of the expert in white.

He was so scared that his legs began to tremble. He didn't dare to look him in the eye and could only answer with stammering lips.

Holt's chest rose and fell violently, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy sound, once, twice... It seemed that he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart:

"How long has the leak been going on?"

"It has been two, two hours since the experiment began..."

"What!?"

"Two hours, God, didn't that mean we were breathing anthrax on the base for two hours?"

"It's over. Once this stuff is inhaled, it will be infected. We are all going to die here!"

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, the soldiers on the base runway fell into unprecedented panic.

Some people even began to hold their heads in their hands, crying, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if the virus had invaded their bodies.

These words were like a dark cloud, hanging over everyone's mind, making their fear even stronger.

"Hunk, what should we do now? Why don't we leave here right now? I, I don't want to die yet..."

Sahana's psychological defenses had completely collapsed. She grabbed Gu Ji's shoulders and shook him continuously.

But Gu Ji just shook his head.

"It's useless. The anthrax powder has been leaking for such a long time. Not to mention the entire base, I'm afraid the nearby towns are no longer safe.

And now that we know the military's secrets, they won't let us go easily. The only thing we can pray for is whether the laboratory has developed any effective drugs."

Everything was just as he expected.

As soon as Gu Ji finished saying this, Hott asked the commander to give an order to urgently blockade the entire air force base and no one was allowed to go out.

Then they sent people to get fuel tanks and had soldiers carry flamethrowers to carry out large-scale burning of the military confidential area where the anthrax powder had leaked.

Yes.

Use the flamethrower's fire to completely incinerate!

Only the military itself knows how terrible the "Vollum 14578" weapons-grade anthrax they developed is.

Ordinary disinfectants cannot kill spores at all. Only high temperatures over 100 degrees and continuous burning can completely eradicate them.

"Sir, in two hours, there is a high probability that anthrax spores have leaked out of the base. Should we blockade the surrounding urban areas and towns?"

One of the men suddenly asked in a low voice.

Holt squinted his eyes through the fly window of the S10 gas mask and rejected it coldly: "No, this matter must not be leaked!"

"What if a large number of civilians are infected with anthrax and die, and the media exposes it? Isn't that..."

"No, isn't this smog the best excuse?"

I instantly felt a chill down my spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

Hoth's words basically represent the military's attitude towards this matter: conceal it and do nothing! !

indeed!

They can't manage it either.

The leak is a fact. Once they come forward to rescue it, it will only make the matter worse, which is equivalent to publicly admitting to people all over the world that they are researching biological and chemical weapons, which is a violation of international law!

This is not only done by the military;

As long as we are human, we are bound to have human weaknesses.

Looking back at the many man-made crises in human history, which one did the person in charge not try his best to conceal:

Chernobyl, the Pabol disaster, the Libby asbestos pollution in Montana, and the similar anthrax leak in the Soviet Union, etc., they were all delayed until they could no longer be covered up, and they were forced to make them public!

But by this time, the disaster had already reached a point where it could not be reversed.

And the last words from Holt's mouth.

It made Gu Ji feel even colder.

The symptoms of infection with weapons-grade anthrax include high fever, cough, bloody sputum, ulcers all over the body, and bloody stools, which can eventually lead to respiratory failure, shock, and even death from purulent meningitis.

Judging from some of the early symptoms, it is very similar to a respiratory disease caused by inhaling excessive smog.

So, even if there are civilians nearby infected with anthrax.

It is also possible that due to the collapse of the public medical system, it is impossible to confirm the cause of death, and the family members may mistakenly believe that death was caused by smog.

As Holt puts it:

Smog is the best cover for the military’s mistake this time!

Gu Ji even had a bold idea.

In the London smog incident of 1952, among the 4,000 people on the official death list, was there a chance that some of them died from weapon-grade anthrax infection?

But no matter what the truth is.

Even out of humanitarian reasons and to complete the system's mission, he must do his best to prevent this crisis.

Thinking of this, he hurried forward and stopped Holt:

"Sir, the wind speed in London today is very low. Even if it takes two hours, the anthrax powder will not spread over a large area. As long as we carry out disinfection and cleaning in the direction of the wind, we can quickly stop this biochemical crisis!"

"Is it you?"

Holt did not respond to his suggestion, but just glanced at him coldly, "We have our own management plan for this matter, it is not your turn to command here!"

"I'm not directing, I'm ordering!"

"Damn it! Do you know what you are talking about?"

Hearing this, the subordinate beside him immediately stepped forward, with his right hand on his waist, as if he was ready to draw his gun at any time.

"Henk! You're crazy!"

Sahana comes running in panic and tries to pull him away.

But Gu Ji was like a stubborn bull, his feet nailed to the spot, not moving at all, "I am very clear-headed, they are crazy!

Commander Hott, do you think that by covering up this matter with smog, you can pretend that nothing happened?

Anthrax produces the characteristic black dry scabs, and the citizens and hospitals of London were not blind, so it would be exposed sooner or later;

When that day comes, will you be able to shoulder this responsibility?"

“Damn it!”

The man suddenly pulled out his pistol and was about to point it at Gu Ji's head, but was stopped by Hott.

The sharp eyes like an eagle stared straight at him, as if trying to see through him completely.

"Now I finally understand why those people in the government would trust a young man like you. I understand what you said, but cleaning up anthrax spores is definitely not as simple as you think."

Although Holt didn't say it explicitly.

But Gu Ji knew that the example he wanted to mention was the "Vegetarian Action" plan.

After the anthrax experiment on Gruina Island was completed, the military tried various methods to clean up, including using hundreds of tons of formaldehyde for soaking, pouring fuel and burning it, but in the end none of them worked.

As long as you put a living thing on the island, there is only one result:

Infected with anthrax, death!

Forced to do so, Britain had to temporarily give up Gruina, so that no one dared to set foot on the island for the next decade.

It was not until the end of the 20th century that the military sent a large number of soldiers to eradicate and seal all the soil on the island, and the infection no longer occurred.

so.

In Holt's eyes, he believed that there was no good way to save this crisis.

"But we can't just do nothing! A soldier's duty is to protect the country. Do you want to watch your fellow countrymen fall into a crisis of your own making?"

After Gu Ji finished speaking, he pointed to the south:

"The wind is blowing towards the south. As long as we send people along the south side to shovel away all the soil, we can effectively curb the spread!"

Hott's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character, his expression became increasingly serious, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.

After a moment, he suddenly shouted in a cold voice:

"Do as he says."

"Ah? Sir, but... I'll arrange it right away!"

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but seeing Hott's serious expression, he had no choice but to agree.

After explaining this, Hott turned around and left without giving Gu Ji a chance to speak again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

See people walk away.

Only then did Sahana pat her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I was so scared, I almost thought he was going to shoot us!"

"He won't."

"If you are not afraid of death, don't implicate me!"

Seeing Gu Ji's nonchalant look, Sahana became furious.

In fact, he is not afraid of death.

But knowing that you may not live long.

The anthrax powder spread for two hours, and they were in one of the houses closest to the leaking laboratory, so there was a 100% probability that they had inhaled anthrax spores.

Death is only a matter of time.

Therefore, Gu Ji dared to let go and confront Hott face to face.

Because he must first understand this guy's character in order to gain the greatest benefit for himself in the next challenge.

And now, he has got the information he wanted.

The next step is to collect as much intelligence information as possible while the body is still able to move.

for example……

The UFO that Penny was talking about!

"What did you say!?"

Suddenly, Hoth, who was on his way to deal with the anthrax leak, heard something from his subordinates. He suddenly widened his eyes and shouted angrily, "Go find him for me immediately! Immediately, at all costs, find him for me!!"

"yes!"

Several of his men were frightened by his rage, responded with a shout, and quickly took action.

Someone ran away?

Gu Ji couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he watched his men driving towards the gate of the base.

Logically speaking.

After the base discovered the anthrax powder leak, the first thing it did was to seal off the base.

On the one hand, it is to prevent people from fleeing and leaking secrets;

On the other hand, it is also to prevent the further spread of infection.

At that time, many people were still in a panic after hearing the news, and it was impossible for them to leave in time, unless...

This person was prepared a long time ago!

If he had been prepared, he would have predicted the anthrax leak in advance.

Is this a man-made crisis?

Gu Ji would certainly not let go of such important information. He hurried all the way to Holt and chased him and asked, "What happened?"

"Commander Holt, this is..."

Someone next to him said something.

Only then did Gu Ji notice that there was a middle-aged expert in white protective clothing standing in front of Hott.

Unlike others.

Holt seemed to attach great importance to this person. He quickly explained his identity to him and turned to glare at Gu Ji: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Come, take him away!!"

As soon as the words fell.

Just when Gu Ji was thinking about whether to resist, suddenly, a scream broke out from the crowd in a corner of the base.

"ah--!!"

"Hold him down! He's going crazy!!"

Gu Ji looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a figure running madly in the thick haze.

His body was twisted and his hands were waving wildly in the air as if he was fighting an invisible enemy. Indistinct roars came out of his mouth, which was creepy.

"This is... an experimenter?"

Gu Ji frowned slightly.

As early as when the alarm was sounded at the base, he had seen that in the laboratory in the military secret area, not only experts and researchers in white protective suits ran out, but also many figures wearing what looked like hospital gowns were brought out.

According to common sense, these people should be the experimenters participating in the study.

certainly.

The British military would not be so crazy as to use living people to experiment with biological and chemical weapons like the devilish Japanese army.

But it is still possible, like the CIA testing LSD truth serum, or some drugs and genetic experiments such as nerve control drugs.

It is even possible that they are related to the mysterious sphere.

And this should be the top-secret information that Holt least wants him to see.

"Quick, stop him!"

"Someone come quickly!"

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers shouted and chased after the target.

The experimenter was chased by this group of people, hiding here and there all the way, and finally he accidentally ran in front of Gu Ji.

Fortunately, the men beside Hott reacted very quickly, rushed forward and pinned the man to the ground.

However, this experimenter had amazing strength.

He struggled desperately, twisting his body on the ground, roaring angryly, trying to break free from the soldiers' control.

That is, during this tearing and twisting.

The gas mask on the experimenter's face accidentally fell off, revealing his facial features, which instantly made Gu Ji's pupils shrink.

He never expected it.

The "experimenter" being held down by the soldiers turned out to be Paul, the sales manager next to Bakken!

How could it be him? (End of this chapter)
