"Filovirus, what is that? Who is that professor?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Filoviruses are the general term for organisms in the Filoviridae family. The Filoviridae has only one genus, the genus Filovirus, which includes two viruses, Marburg disease and Ebola virus." Mr. K explained.

"Marburg virus is the causative source of Marburg haemorrhagic fever. It was first discovered in West Germany in 1967. Marburg virus was the first linear virus to be discovered. A major epidemic since the end of the 20th century occurred in 1998. By 2000, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Marburg virus had infected 149 people and killed 123 people.

The Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are four types that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in infected persons. When it was epidemic in Sudan in 1976, the case fatality rate was 53.2%; In Zaire, it is as high as 88.8%.

Therefore, the World Health Organization lists it as one of the most severely harmful viruses to humans, the fourth-level virus. "

"Well, I don't know anything about this. But I know the tragedy and panic caused by the Ebola virus epidemic." Silver Wolf Michelle nodded.

Mr. K made a gesture, "Then I will try to make it simple. You should all know that AIDS, also known as human immunodeficiency virus, is highly lethal, but its infectious ability is not too strong. This virus is in the Virology Laboratory. The biosafety level here is only level 2.

The filovirus we are discussing is biosafety level 4, which is currently the highest biosafety level. "Mr. K looked at Lin Rui and Michelle Silver Wolf.

Lin Rui was silent.

Mr. K looked at them and said, "I don't know if you have seen the appearance of a patient caused by the Ebola virus. I have seen it once, and I swear I don't want to see it again in my life.

It was in Congo. The patient I saw had ruby ​​eyes, expressionless face and bruises. The stellate erythema everywhere has spread and merged into large purple clumps: his entire head has become black and cyan.

Facial muscles are sagging, connective tissue is ablating, a face seems to hang on the bones underneath, as if the face is gradually detaching from the skull. He opened his mouth and was vomiting. He vomited endlessly. The vomiting did not stop. His stomach was empty long ago, but he kept vomiting black vomit.

Black vomit is not completely black. The liquid has two colors: black particles like asphalt mixed in bright red arterial blood. This is internal bleeding, and the smell is like a slaughterhouse.

That black vomit is full of virus, highly infectious and highly lethal. I have seen with my own eyes that this thing can scare the military's biohazard experts out of their minds.

The bodies of many patients were burned and their families were forcibly isolated. You can't imagine the scene at that time. I came from special forces, experienced actual combat, and saw countless **** scenes. But what shocked me most was this hemorrhagic fever.

If the secret agency is conducting similar research, it is likely to cause this terrifying scene to reappear. You should know the medical situation in Africa. Once this virus is really weaponized, it will be difficult to control the high level of virus outbreaks they cause. "

"I'm a little scared. Then what do you mean by telling us?" Lin Rui looked at Mr. K and asked.

Mr. K replied, "I have said before that this Ebola virus is difficult to be weaponized. Unless the virus is improved.

The professor I just mentioned is an expert in filovirus and genetic technology. I think this professor and his research will be the key to the secret agency organization to complete the weaponization of filovirus.

I need you to help me find this professor, and I hope you will catch it alive. I need to interrogate him to obtain more intelligence information.

Once the research conducted by this professor is proved to be true, I will report the situation to my superiors. I'm sure that the federal authorities will attach great importance to this matter. "

"Rather, you Americans will study this person highly. As far as I know, you Americans are also highly enthusiastic about virus weapons." Lin Rui mocked.

"Yes. But you have to understand that there is no country in the world that can truly threaten the United States by force. Therefore, even if this technology is in the hands of the Americans, it will not be easily used.

Just like nuclear weapons, the Americans have one of the best thermonuclear weapons. But since World War II, this weapon has never been considered for use.

But if it falls into the hands of some small African countries, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be. This is the same as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Although nuclear weapons are restricted to the hands of a few major powers, at least it will not trigger a nuclear war.

For example, it's like a loaded gun, held in the hands of an adult or held in the hands of a child, which is more dangerous, it goes without saying. An adult has self-control ability, but a child does not. "Mr. K said seriously.

"So you want us to find that professor. So, who is hiring us for this mission? You or the US federal government." Silver Wolf shrugged, "I'm sorry to say that, but we have to figure out who will do it. Who should we charge for the next task."

"Of course it's the federal government. I'm just working for the government. I can't afford such a large cost. It's just that the federal government will never recognize this task.

In theory, this is a task that does not exist at all. You should understand the reasons. "Mr. K shook his head.

"In other words, the U.S. government has noticed the secret agency's unusual actions, but is unwilling to take further actions." Lin Rui frowned.

"The existence of the Orumi Federation is good for the United States. This is one of the reasons, and the other is that the high-level officials are still skeptical of this intelligence, because I do not have any evidence." Mr. K replied Tao.

"This is not an ordinary task. It is not only highly dangerous, but also very sensitive during this period when the Olumi Federation participates in tripartite negotiations. So how much do you plan to pay?" Silver Wolf Michelle looked at Mr. K and asked.

"I know what you mean, but you should also understand that I have never made you lose money in terms of price. After you decide to take up this task, we can talk in detail." Mr. K replied.

"Lin Rui, what do you think?" Silver Wolf Michel turned and asked Lin Rui.

"The risk is too great, and I don't want to accept this task. It is no problem for me to deal with living enemies. But this kind of task runs the risk of high infection.

I'm sorry, I don't want to lose any brothers. As for myself, I also want to live two more years. Lin Rui shook his head.
