Chapter 575 Manhattan No. 18 Days

The sun broke through the clouds and shrouded the entire city in a layer of mist, bringing a tiny bit of warmth to the city that had been immersed in it for a long time.

Waking up on the rooftop of a building, the cool morning water vapor and slight chill made even the enhanced Hank couldn't help but shiver.

Raising his hand to take the energy bar thrown by Chris, Hank did not put it into his mouth immediately to replenish the energy consumed throughout the night. Instead, he picked up the telescope and map and began to search for markers according to the zones.

Standing on the rooftop and looking down, the little raccoon can feel the long-lost familiarity in this city, as if he has returned to the days before the biochemical virus outbreak in Raccoon City...

After casually dealing with the frost on his body, and chewing an energy bar in his mouth, Hank aimed the laser pointer at the dark red sarcoma in the block below, and at the same time determined the coordinate code again.

After swallowing what was in his mouth, Hank began to complete the day's task record...

"On the tenth day, the infected people mutated significantly, and the infected people became obviously interested in flesh and blood. Common infection routes have infected people who meet the characteristics, but the detection of the source of infection is unreliable."

"Animal-type infected people have appeared, and the biological weapons formed by natural organisms are even faster and more violent. Black Watch has been dealing with animals these days, and they have killed almost everything they can see."

"According to mathematical models of crisis prediction, the virus is expected to spread around the world in three days."

"However, the current rate does not meet the model predictions. Current infections only occupy 81% of Manhattan, and the spread of the virus has been artificially controlled."

The crisp sound of high heels rose from bottom to top, the iron door of the rooftop was opened, and Jill appeared behind the two of them wearing an office suit.

After kicking off her high heels and putting on the tactical boots placed at the door, Jill said, "Hank, you're a bit wrong."

Hank and Chris turned around. It was obvious that Jill was not dressed for combat. She actually sneaked into the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) during this period to steal information about the cause of the disaster.

"Any more?"

Gil did not take the lead in explaining Hank's mistake, but looked at the energy bar in Hank's hand.

"Huh? William Wonka's product! French food? I hope it's not a snail..."

Feeling the taste of the food, Jill let out a long sigh of satisfaction and said: "In fact, the virus was released eighteen days ago. Black Watch intercepted a researcher named Alex at the station. The researcher A small vial of virus samples was stolen, and after being intercepted by agents, the virus was released at the station. Alex was shot and killed on the spot, and the rest of the infected ordinary citizens were also eliminated."

Chris said: "That is even more inconsistent with the prediction model. The transmission efficiency of this virus is higher than that of the Ouroboros virus. Eighteen days are enough for people all over the world to die. Could it be that this virus cannot cross the water? ?”

"I have taken samples and the virus will not decompose due to the water environment. In fact, water source transmission is its main transmission route."

Hank's addition supported Chris's statement. This special virus does not conform to the mathematical model. The little raccoon will never act rashly until the cause is found out.

Jill wiped her mouth randomly, rolled up the wrapping paper and threw it to Chris.Then I came to the map and drew a circle on the station.

"The extent of the outbreak does not match the model. Black Watch also dealt with infected people at the station. Although they were inhumane, I have to say that the operation was very efficient and the effect was very good."

Chris lit a cigar, took half a puff and said, "Then there is only one possibility. Can this virus be manipulated?"

Jill nodded reluctantly, agreeing with Chris's guess.

A virus that can infect the whole world in fourteen days, but stays safely in Manhattan within eighteen days, makes people think about the conspiracy.Feeling the critical situation, Chris pinched off the still burning cigar and said: "Then this is an isolated island..."

Manhattan, the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City, is mainly composed of Manhattan Island and Roosevelt Island, and is surrounded by the East River, the Hudson River and the Harlem River.

Manhattan is like Gotham City. In addition to the only bridges and light rail transportation, there are only a few barges that can carry people in and out.

But once Manhattan is blocked, there will be no way to go to the sky or the ground.

For the little raccoon, the dangers of Manhattan aren't a big problem; the problem is the world outside of Manhattan.

In the past, when the Space and Time Management Bureau rescued the world, even the wandering earth that needed all-out rescue was just short of supplies.There are only a few million people left in the Matrix, and the Authority can easily transfer them all.

In a world like Crysis, there is only a small population left, so the Space and Time Administration will test the Ouroboros virus on the planet to transform the ecology.

But in this world, except for the infected people in Manhattan, the rest of the cities and populations are normal.

The virus was confined to Manhattan, while also protecting the outside world. However, this unknown countdown made life on the entire planet hostage.

The little raccoon has not taken action to suppress the virus until now, just to prevent the virus controllers from being defeated.

"Rebecca, can we set up a quarantine zone?"

Rebecca quickly gave an answer to Chris' question.

A light spot appeared on the retinas of all the little raccoons participating in the discussion. The light spot magnified into Rebecca's real-time image.

Rebecca shook her head and said, "No, refer to the Raccoon City incident. Even if you drop nuclear weapons or other super weapons, you can't completely stop the spread of the virus."

"but……"

Rebecca's voice rose a little. She turned around and took out a small infection sample, showed it to everyone, and said, "I may have found a weakness in the virus."

"Viruses can accelerate evolution, similar to the G virus. Its greatest use is to construct a fast channel for material transportation to complete various evolutions. This kind of evolution is controllable under specific gene segments."

"However... it can only be a very small number of people. The evolution of most people is not directional, so ordinary infected people appear."

"If I can find a suitable evolutionary sample, remember it must be a living sample, maybe I can figure out the principle of this virus and develop a corresponding vaccine..."

Finding an adaptor in Manhattan is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.The Black Watch soldiers filling the streets will kill all suspicious people.

The little raccoon appeared to deal with this crisis, not to cause a crisis of annihilation, so their actions were different from each other.

Gil's eyes began to blur, but he regained his clarity within a millisecond and said, "The opportunity has come. The spores I left behind are conveying the message of Black Watch, and Alex is resurrected again..."
