after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 657 Detecting Viruses

Bark, woof, woof... All military dogs were barking wildly in the camp.

They are very excited today because they are about to go out on a mission.

"Come, sniff. Sniff." Several soldiers of the internal guards held a statue of an eagle face with wings on their backs, so that the dogs could remember the smell.

This woodcut statue is the icon of the Church of the Prophets.The wood used to carve the icon is a peculiar tree that can only be found in the Mouth Swamp.

This kind of tree grows on the edge of the swamp, like pine but not pine, like fir but not fir, with dark gray bark, large branches spread flat, and the upper ends between the small branches are thicker, or a few side growths are small and spaced.

The leaf pillow is nearly strip-shaped, slightly raised, and the top has nearly round, round or nearly square leaf scars, and its color is lighter.

The main trunk is tall and straight, tall and straight, with dense branches and leaves, especially on the back of its green linear leaves, there are two silver-white stomatal belts. Whenever the breeze blows, it will shine silver and be more attractive.

This is a precious tree species considered extinct by the world: silver fir, known as the giant panda and living fossil in the plant world.

The wood products made of it have beautiful texture and exude a unique fragrance of fir.

woof!Jinhu barked twice, expressing that he remembered the scent, he is now the chief military dog, and will lead the other dogs to carry out this task.

"Okay! Let's go! Go to Area A first!" Zhang Long waved his hand and led the members of the Qinglong Special Forces to follow behind the inner guards.As special forces, they will also participate in this operation as a rapid response force.

"Hello! Routine inspection! Please open the door!" Boom boom boom... The soldiers who entered Area A began to knock on doors from door to door. They were supposed to carry out virus detection and disinfection on citizens for epidemic prevention work.

Creaking... One of the doors of the room was opened, and there was an old man inside. Judging by his age, he knew his destiny. In the last days, this age can be said to be a rare longevity.

Creaking... The door of the neighbor's room opened, and a young couple lived inside.

Creaking... The residents on this street are very cooperative in the testing of the soldiers. After all, they have just experienced the disaster of the epidemic. Everyone is afraid that there is still a hidden virus, so they are very active in cooperating.

Bark, woof, woof... Military dogs will also conduct a scent search of every house and every room.

Although the residents wondered what the epidemic prevention work had to do with dogs, they didn't resist. Anyway, they had nothing to do with it.

Nancy City searched District A and District B, and searched district by district, door to door, and did not miss any suspicious corners.

It's not just Nancy that needs to be investigated, but also major cities in the Federation such as Santopani, 101 City, Selection City, and Jekaderinburg, and even Banliang City on Jinyao Island in the far sea. .

Santopani, thump, thump, thump... The city's internal security forces are also simultaneously carrying out investigations.

"Hello! Routine inspection! Please open the door!" Deputy Mayor Jones personally led the inspection team. They have already searched a block and watched the sunset. After inspecting the block, they will conduct a temporary closure area, and stationed night guards, preparing to continue to investigate the area behind tomorrow.

The purpose of this is to prevent people from sneaking into the checked area at night from the unchecked area.

"Please come in..." The man who opened the door was a gloomy man, as if suffering from severe insomnia.

"Well." Jones beckoned, and several soldiers entered with him, as well as a dog.

Jones surveyed the room, which was the last house on the block, on the westernmost side.

At this time, it is supposed to enjoy the last rays of the sun, but the room is drawn with thick curtains, and the whole room is dark.

"Why did you draw the curtain?" Jones asked seemingly casually. When inspecting personnel, they would ask seemingly random questions to observe the other party's reaction.

"Xi Sun..." The gloomy man simply replied, and sat on a single sofa by himself.

He picked up a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, knocked out one of the cigarettes inside, and swiped at Jones.

"Sorry, no." Jones waved his hand and started walking around the room casually, looking here and there.

A health soldier stepped forward, put the box in his hand on the coffee table, opened it, and there was a detector inside.

This detector is specially used to quickly detect viruses. It only needs to place a nasopharyngeal swab in a pre-warmed buffer for 10 seconds, and then detect the virus, and the conclusion can be drawn in about 5 minutes. .

Wow, the health guards started to take out an extremely long throat swab from the medicine box, put it into the container containing the collection liquid to fully soak it, then lifted it up to leave the liquid surface, and repeatedly squeezed it on the tube wall of the container, Squeeze out excess fluid.

"Come on..." The health guard let the man's head relax naturally, put the throat swab against the wall of the nostril, and slowly rotated it in until it reached the nose and palate, and took it out while wiping inside.

"Hmm..." The man frowned tightly. This feeling was like stabbing into his brain, which was very uncomfortable.

"One more time..." The health guard wiped the other nostril with the same throat swab in the same way.

"Okay." Finally, insert the nasopharyngeal swab into the sampling tube of the detector, and press the detection button.

Beep... The green light is on, and the tester starts to sample and test the samples in the tube...

"Can I smoke?" The man seemed to be addicted to smoking, and the whole room was shrouded in misty smoke.

"At will." Jones and others will not interfere with residents' daily lives.

With a swish, the man struck a match, looked at his unshaking hands, calmly lit a cigarette, and began to puff on the sofa.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone waited quietly for the test results.

Soon, 5 minutes is up.

Ding!A group of green numbers appeared on the display screen of the tester, and the final conclusion read... negative.

"Sorry to bother you." Jones nodded apologetically at the man, and then beckoned the soldiers to evacuate together.

The health guard put away the instrument, and the surrounding soldiers also removed their index fingers that were always on the trigger.

Just as Jones and the others were about to leave the room, a soldier hurried in from the outside, holding an icon of the Church of the Prophets in his hand.

Before the soldier could say anything, Jones reflected on the glass of the side cabinet that the man took out a pistol from under the sofa cushion!
Jones turned around quickly when he saw this, bang bang bang!Pistol rapid fire.

Puff puff... The man was shot several times and fell on the sofa. Blood flowed all over the floor along the bullet holes...

"Search!" Jones yelled sharply, and the soldiers immediately rummaged through boxes and cabinets like tigers, looking for infectious agents, or other hidden passages in the secret room.
