Chapter 143: Opportunity x Naming(1/2)
The staff member in blue uniform frowned, as if he realized something, and immediately pressed the intercom on his left shoulder with his right hand and said in a solemn tone.
"There is a suspected infection here, please send someone over as soon as possible!"
"receive."
After the staff notified the ambulance, soon an ambulance drove over, the door opened with a "clatter", and four medical staff in protective suits jumped out.
Two medical staff quickly ran to the driver who fell to the ground and vomited and squatted down in front of him.
"vomit……"
The driver who fell to the ground suddenly spat out a mouthful of yellow-brown vomit, which scared the medical staff and made them sit back, almost squirting onto him.
"shit!"
Cursing secretly, the medical staff changed positions and looked at the patient, whose eyes were white and obviously unconscious but still vomiting, and felt a chill in his heart.
"Quick, send him to the research institute!"
Two medical staff quickly supported the patient's legs and shoulders, lifted him onto a stretcher, and worked together to put him into the ambulance. The engine started and he disappeared immediately.
"Start disinfecting."
The remaining two medical staff carrying disinfection tools looked at each other and nodded, turned on the switch, and a large amount of white water vapor sprayed out for disinfection.
While they were disinfecting, those who had been in contact with the driver were organized by a group of guards wearing protective clothing and holding rifles and headed to the isolation area.
Soon, the patient was sent to the Institute of New Antibiotics. Dr. Helen and a group of researchers wore protective suits with independent oxygen supply to test the samples taken from the patient.
Carefully, one of the samples was placed under the microscope and magnified to a thousand times. The other researchers looked up at the display screen in front of them, which showed the enlarged shape of bacteria.
Thanks to the advanced equipment that Umbrella spent a huge amount of money to purchase, it took Dr. Helen three hours to complete various tests and send a preliminary test report to Kim Bradley.
Kim Bradley, who was paying attention to the situation of the company's branches in the office, received this emergency notice, frowned slightly, and opened it to check.
"New superbugs?"
Kim Bradley's brows furrowed even more, and even Pegrose began to catch the virus.
After the incident, Kim Bradley immediately upgraded the level of disinfection and inspection at the company's headquarters. Although this super bacteria was very powerful, the area where Umbrella's headquarters was located was sparsely populated.
Moreover, this place is not a tourist attraction. Except for the city of Siglan, which has a population of about 500,000, there is not even a single person to be seen outside the city.
No matter how powerful this superbug is, someone has to infect it.
"However, I'd better inform Andres."
"The new base also needs to be more prepared. Although it is in a tropical rainforest, there are still people going out to buy materials."
Three days later, while Pride and Kim Bradley were discussing something, the elevator dinged and opened, and Illumi stepped into the office.
“Anyone got a superbug infection?”
Ilumi came to the sofa, bent down and sat down opposite Pride who was reading a book, and asked.
"The infected person is a driver responsible for transporting supplies, but all personnel related to him have been put under control and isolated."
"In addition, there are also infected people in the Patirus branch, and they have all been sent to the headquarters for isolation and control."
"Disinfection and testing measures have also been taken."
Ilumi nodded slightly, Kim Bradley handed him a report, and he took it and took a look.
The "Infectious Diseases" journal of the United States of America published an introduction to the superbugs that are now prevalent around the world, and the Centers for Disease Control of the United States has investigated that this new type of superbug may have originated from the East China Sea coast.
Coronel City.
Therefore, this bacterium was officially named CORM-1 type bacterium.
Yilumi browsed through it quickly, and it gave a clear introduction to the infection route, symptoms, mortality rate, and drug resistance of this virus.
"Coronel City?"
Yilumi looked at the birthplace mentioned above, raised his eyebrows, and felt a little strange in his heart.
"Does Dr. Helen have anything to say about this virus?"
"Dr. Helen has been conducting research on this superbug these days."
"According to tests, this superbug is resistant to all current antibiotics and cannot be treated."
"But not our new antibiotics."
Kim Bradley raised the corner of his mouth in a rare move and asked a crucial question.
"Is that so?"
After hearing Kim Bradley's answer, Ilumi became more and more certain that this super bacteria was related to the previous new microorganisms, so the new antibiotics they developed would be effective against it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yilumi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
If only the new antibiotics developed by Umbrella can treat this bacteria, wouldn't it mean that now is Umbrella's golden opportunity?
No matter which country, region or company in the world, Umbrella-a antibiotics are needed.
The most important thing is that this bacteria has spread all over the world, and I believe those who have purchased Umbrella's new antibiotics have also discovered it.
"Have you all discovered it too?"
Ilumi looked at Kim Bradley and Pride, who smiled accordingly.
"We were just talking about related matters."
"According to our speculation, it's about time those people contacted us."
Ilumi rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and asked again.
"How is our patient doing?"
Kim Bradley knew he was asking about those infected and replied.
"The first person to show symptoms in the branch was a cleaning employee. There were ten cleaning employees in the same team as her, and all of them were infected."
"Three of them were delayed when leaving and died on the way to the company headquarters."
"As for the other seven people, after being sent to the company headquarters, Dr. Helen injected them with large amounts of antibiotics."
"After discovering that all other antibiotics were useless, I injected Umbrella-a and found that it was effective."
"Including the company's headquarters and branches, there are a total of eleven people infected, and eight infected people are now out of danger."
Ilumi listened to Kim Bradley's explanation, nodded slightly, and asked.
"How many units were used?"
"Eighty-five units, four tubes of umbrella-a are needed to complete the treatment."
"Well, if other infected people are found, if possible, send them to the headquarters."
"I see."
Kim Bradley nodded. He didn't want his company's employees to have to stay in hospital beds and wait to die in pain after being infected by the virus.
Ilumi, Kim Bradley, and Pride were sitting on the sofa, exchanging some recent events in the world, as well as various recent adjustments within the Hunter Association.
A week later, the Hass Republic of the Mitne Federation published a report.
According to the latest report from the Mitne Federation, the Republic of Khas and the Republic of Lokario jointly dispatched a joint inspection team to several local villages in the Republic of Khas to conduct sampling inspections near their residences and water sources.
Traces of new superbugs have been discovered.
When they arrived at several local villages, dozens of villagers were already dead, causing panic among the locals.
However, the Mitne Federation's international political status is not very important after all. What really shocked people around the world was the news that came out one after another after this report.
The outbreak situation in major countries such as the United States of Admiralty, the Federation of Ozma, the Cajun Empire, the Aztec Republic, Pegrosse, and the Kingdom of Khan.
Even places like the Republic of Bartokia, the Republic of Duqi, the Republic of Mingbo, and the Chaos Triangle have corresponding reports.
Based on epidemic reports from various electronic media and electronic discussion groups in various places, as well as official reports from many places, the V5 organization discovered the true origin of the virus through joint investigations, but for some reason, they did not announce it to the public.
But a few days later, the V5 organization officially issued a new superbug epidemic report and officially named it DCM-1 superbug.
It was announced that the epidemic level would be raised to Level 4, requiring relevant government departments of various countries to prepare for the epidemic to prevent large-scale human-to-human infections.
However, ordinary people still know too little about the DCM-1 bacteria during this epidemic.
A small number of people will break out and die within a day after being infected with this superbug, while the vast majority of people will be asymptomatic, but the bacteria will lie dormant in their bodies for more than ten days.
During these ten days, as they were asymptomatic, they continued to work, go to work, buy groceries, play, and come into contact with all kinds of people.
It is precisely because of this that the number of infected people compiled by departments in various countries is very small, not even a fraction of the number of people affected by the epidemic every year.
But as time went by, it eventually attracted the attention and attention of many governments.

Yilumi stood in front of the tempered glass of the laboratory, with his hands behind his back, looking at the ongoing experiments with a dull expression.
