While Fang Yu and the others were still struggling to move forward in the subway, in the shelter, the top leaders were gathered in the command room and were discussing what happened in the shelter.
There were a total of 10 people in the command room at this time.
They include the current commander-in-chief of the shelter - Fan Shiwei, Minister of Mobility Department Hong Yuanjun, Minister of Medical Department Tang Lao Tang Yannian, Minister of Manufacturing Han Zhen, Minister of Administrative Logistics Department Liu Qingli, Minister of Important Equipment Department and Power Department Zhao Keqing, Minister of Military Logistics Department
Zhao Li, Minister of Labor Dispatch Zhou Wuyue, and two army commanders, Chen Yongyan and Ge Xingxiu.
Needless to say, the ministers of each department, except for the last two army commanders, rarely show their faces.
They are the force representatives of the entire refuge. The more than a thousand soldiers in the refuge are divided into two small groups, led by Chen Yongyan and Ge Xingxiu.
The entire Ziyang Shelter, from the time when the team was first formed to the present, has been shaken by waves and eliminated many people who failed to adapt to the times and lead the shelter on the right track.
The ten people left now are one of the guarantees that this shelter can continue to survive in this doomsday.
It can be said that these ten people are absolutely indispensable for the refuge's current stability.
It was these ten people who set the direction of this shelter train and allowed the shelter to travel to this day.
After everyone sat down, no one mentioned the topic first. For a moment, the only sound in the command room was everyone's heavy breathing.
Finally, Fan Shiwei broke the silence and spoke.
"Mr. Tang, have you investigated clearly? Is it still the mutated virus from last time?"
Faced with Fan Shiwei's question, Mr. Tang was silent for a while. His face became more and more haggard after many days of busy work.
After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to speak.
"Now, all the people in the shelter who are suffering from colds and flu have been moved to the isolation area. Some residents have gone to the subway. I have also seen them. Those on the subway all have colds, not flu, so
, no need to send them back”
"Because our action was quite timely, the flu did not spread too fast. A total of about 858 patients were admitted, including about 256 severe patients, 189 moderate patients, and about 413 mild and suspected cold patients, respectively.
Already quarantined in zones 1~3”
"Although there are no precise and professional analytical instruments, I can only rely on my experience in traditional Chinese medicine and the traceability results of other doctors to analyze that this flu is caused by the mutated virus last time."
After hearing what Mr. Tang said, the faces of everyone working there all darkened.
Liu Qingli, as the only female minister among them, spoke after listening to Mr. Tang's words.
"But, wasn't it estimated last time that the cycle would be at least two years later? Now it's only half a year, and the virus mutates so fast?"
After hearing Liu Qingli's question, Mr. Tang shook his head slightly and explained.
"I said at the time that the most reliable time is two years, but this can only be achieved if we have sufficient medical conditions."
"Now in the shelter, we can't even disinfect the entire area, let alone control sanitation. The underground water resources are not rich. How can we do it when we have to take a bath every half a month?
Perfect protection?”
"Although the accident successfully eliminated the original influenza virus temporarily, the state of our shelter is undoubtedly like a virus cultivation warehouse. The simple medical environment and closed space will greatly accelerate its mutation rate."
Elder Tang's words made everyone's faces grow heavier.
Leader Chen Yongyan couldn't help but cursed.
"Damn it, isn't it just a flu? Doesn't it look like I have a cold? Why is it like this? According to you, if I have food and drink in such a world of ice and snow, but I will die from a cold, then
I might as well be frozen to death counting balls!”
After hearing Chen Yongyan's words, although Hong Yuanjun was also from the army, he usually communicated more with Mr. Tang, so he also heard Mr. Tang say many things about influenza.
Hearing his tone, Hong Yuanjun seemed to blame Mr. Tang for his poor medical skills, and couldn't help but explain it to Mr. Tang.
"Isn't it just a flu? Chen Datou, what the hell do you know? Back then, it was just a flu, and more than 50 million people died in Spain. This thing is a virus, and it can mutate.
, even before the end of the world, the best way is to get vaccinated, and then wait for the virus to mutate, develop a new vaccine, and then inject it."
Hong Yuanjun's words left Chen Yongyan speechless, but his explanation made Ge Xingxiu frown.
"Mr. Tang, according to Yuan Jun, there is no way for us to solve this flu? Didn't his troops go looking for medicine? If there is medicine, then..."
Liu Qingli asked Mr. Tang following Hong Yuanjun's words.
Upon hearing Liu Qingli's question, Mr. Tang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.
"As I said last time, this is an inevitable result. Under this shelter, there are no adequate sanitary conditions and people are mixed. This type of influenza virus is absolutely unavoidable. Today's epidemic
The flu has been dealt with. If it were a more deadly flu, the shelter would be wiped out by now. This is already the best outcome, isn't it?"
After Mr. Tang finished speaking, Fan Shiwei also asked.
"Mr. Tang, what's the situation now, and what measures can we take?"
After hearing Fan Shiwei's words, Mr. Tang preparedly took out a notebook, opened it, and said according to the records on it.
"Actually, the situation is not that bad. Based on the experience last time, we acted faster this time. In addition, most of the surviving residents have certain antibodies in their bodies. Therefore, according to my estimation,
, as long as the drug can be successfully found this time, and some residents with mild symptoms and non-influenza residents can be cured, this flu will be over."
"So, what about those with severe symptoms?"
Zhao Li, the Minister of Military Logistics who had been silent for so long, finally asked a question, which was also the most critical question, after listening for so long.
Mr. Tang glanced at him, closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed again, the fatigue on his face getting deeper and deeper.
The command room fell into a deathly silence for a while.
Everyone already understands what Mr. Tang means. For people who are seriously infected, under the current circumstances, the best way is to take care of them until...
And, after this time passes, once it happens again...
Liu Qingli's face was pale, and her tone was full of sadness as she murmured.
"How long can we hold on? After so many efforts and the sacrifice of so many people, is it all in vain?"
Facing Liu Qingli's look of about to collapse.
Others present did not offer any comfort.
Because even they themselves can hardly hold on any longer.
From the end of the day until now, they have really tried their best.
After finally getting the shelter back on track, I thought that as long as we get through this "long winter", there will be hope for everything.
However, reality gave them a heavy blow.
The wind and snow never stopped, but intensified. The cold tide that originally only appeared at night now began to drift during the day.
The surface of the earth has completely become a desperate place for mankind.
If that's all, that's it.
Now even underground, this damn doomsday still refuses to let them go.
A flu would immediately render them helpless.
Even if they just lack resources or food, they can still find a way.
But in the face of this completely out-of-class virus, they have absolutely nothing to do.
It cannot be eradicated. Once the infection develops into a serious condition, it is waiting to die. It is impossible to disinfect the entire shelter, and moving to another shelter is even more impossible when the surface is impassable.
Too weak...
Everyone here can almost see the ending of the shelter.
Maybe the flu will mutate again next time, or maybe the next time.
Perhaps those residents who don't know it yet can't see the future of the shelter.
And what these ten people in the command room see now is only endless despair...
