The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 310 Resident Evil?again?
The FBI's response can be said to be quite fast. It took almost less than 24 hours to organize a "special task force" and prepare to go to the Wind River Valley reservation.

They couldn't help but be quick, after all, there were rumors that the local angry aborigines had organized and planned to storm the drilling camp and destroy everything they could see.

You must know that the total local police force is only 7 people, plus a rookie detective who is almost completely unreliable, it is impossible to prevent the deterioration of the situation.

Thinking of the expensive shale oil extraction equipment in the drilling camp, the directors of a certain oil company registered in Texas felt blood dripping from their hearts, and could only desperately put pressure on the FBI.

However, something unexpected happened. Less than 24 hours after the incident, the bones in the camp were still being excavated. Before the "task force" even boarded the plane, a rookie detective suddenly called to report that the case Already broken.

A local hunter accidentally found a mutilated corpse in the mountains. Through identity verification, it was confirmed that it was the only missing security guard in the drilling camp.

In his mobile phone, the rookie detective found a lot of evidence related to the murdered Indian girls, confirming that the murderers who killed the local women were the security guards who were on duty in winter and had nothing to do all day long.

The tragedy at the camp was also confirmed to be related to the missing security guard. He had apparently suffered a mental problem. After killing his companions and burning down the security dormitory, he fled into the mountains alone and eventually froze to death. Near Gannett Peak.

With the cooperation of the local tribal police, this excellent female detective successfully appeased the angry aborigines. At present, the drilling camp has been temporarily blocked, and everything has been settled.

Of course, the matter will not end so quickly, but the focus has been successfully shifted from the destruction of the security team to the murder of the aboriginal women.

Whether it is the BIA or the FBI, they all hope that this matter can end as soon as possible to calm down the current turmoil of public opinion.

Now that the case has been solved quickly, and there is not even a defendant who needs to go to court, everyone is naturally happy. Of course, whether the families of the victims will sue a certain oil company in court afterwards is none of the federal government's business.

It is foreseeable that although Jane will stay in this icy and snowy world for a while, the promotion that Jack once said is definitely not gone.

Not to mention removing the word "internship", it is very possible to be promoted to a higher level. Maybe the next time the two meet, Jack will call him a Senior Special Agent (Senior Special Agent).

But all the turmoil right now has nothing to do with Jack for the time being. At noon on the day after enjoying the beautiful scenery of Gannett Peak, he received a call from Hochner.

It was too late to say goodbye to everyone. After making a few phone calls, Jack boarded the flight to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland.

Hotchner did not disclose the specific case on the phone, which made Jack feel a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, when he saw that Jiejie who came to pick him up had no joy of seeing her lover again, and had a serious face all the time, his heart skipped a beat. This time it must be a big deal.

"What's the matter?" Jiejie was a girl who followed her to a deserted island and could face terrorists without changing her face. Such a situation is rare.

"Let's talk about it in the car. The current situation is highly confidential." Jiejie looked around and did not directly answer Jack's question.

As soon as she got in the car, Jiejie handed over a small yellow medicine bottle and a small bottle of mineral water.

"Take two tablets of this first."

Jack's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "What is this?"

"Ciprofloxacin, they say they don't know for sure, but it's better than nothing."

Now Jack knew why the girl's panic had come.

"Biological terrorist attack?"

Only this invisible opponent is the most frightening.

"The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) suspects anthrax, the specifics are unclear, and we have just arrived and are gathering information."

"OK, where are we going now?" Jack simply swallowed the pill, determined in his heart that as long as it wasn't some kind of poisonous gas that killed him on the spot, he would have great confidence in protecting the safety of the people around him.

Jiejie called up the navigation on her mobile phone, "Here, DHS (Department of Homeland Security) has set up a temporary command center."

Seeing her restless look, Jack didn't start the car immediately, but held the girl's hand tightly.

"Relax, I'm here."

Jiejie's nervousness was well-founded. After 911/[-], the anthrax mail incident occurred in the United States. Someone sent letters containing anthrax to several news media offices and some senators.

The attack resulted in a total of 22 infections, including 5 deaths. At that time, the whole country was panicked. You must know that this country has a tradition of mailing bills. Everyone is worried that it will be their turn next.

Anthrax is a bacterium. The full name is Bacillus anthracis. It comes from the ancient Greek word "anthrakos", which means coal. It is named for the typical symptoms of black scabs on the skin.

In the Book of Exodus, there are some similar descriptions, such as the plague of livestock and boils among the ten plagues, which probably refers to this stuff.

It can be seen from this that this is actually a rather ancient disease, but the germ itself is not terrible because its transmission route is relatively simple.

Bacillus anthracis can cause infection through contact with the mucous membranes or damaged areas of human skin. It can also be infected through breathing, but in most cases, the amount of bacteria spread into the air is not enough to cause illness.

So in general, under natural conditions, this kind of bacteria does not pose a great threat to humans, because usually it will not infect people, and if infected, people will die soon, and it is difficult to cause large-scale transmission.

But there is something awesome about this thing, it can transform, in the propagule state, its vitality is weaker than most bacteria, but after turning into spores
Bacillus anthracis spores can swim in boiling water for at least four to 10 minutes, and can be killed by high-intensity ultraviolet rays for more than 4 hours or direct sunlight for more than 100 hours.

As for ordinary hospital disinfectants, the effect is far worse than boiling water, and it takes several days to completely kill the spores.

With a high fatality rate and tenacious survivability, it seems to be a logical thing to turn this germ into a biochemical weapon. There is no way, human beings have always been very talented in killing.

Jack soon joined the rest of the BAU, and this was the first time he had seen so many people in suits, military uniforms, and white coats gather together, filling the huge hall to the brim.

Then he saw another acquaintance, the CDC doctor Morgan he knew when he was just a small patrolman.
