Chapter 72 Fever Infection
…
Da Mao hasn't woken up yet. In the past few days, a group of survivors with incurable and persistent fevers have appeared in the base of M Province. Some of them have begun to coma.
It is said that fever is most likely caused by a viral infection and is contagious.
For a time, rumors abounded in the base.
Many people with fever symptoms have suffered varying degrees of ostracism and cold looks. Now in the base, when they encounter anyone with a red face or abnormal condition, everyone avoids them.
Some people who were feverish and unconscious were simply abandoned in the snow and left to fend for themselves.
This matter quickly attracted the attention of the base's top brass. Because there were fever symptoms in the army, there were far more unconscious officers and soldiers than ordinary survivors.
The high-level meeting of the base was held in a villa on the hillside.
The villa is brightly lit and warm as spring, and the servants are neatly dressed and clean, busy and walking around with their heads down.
The floor of the conference room is covered with luxurious carpets, and there are luxurious and exquisite chandeliers overhead.
The main seat and the seats on the right were still empty. Men in suits and ties were all sitting on the left side of the long conference table. Among them, the middle-aged man sitting in the first place on the left side of the main seat was the most eye-catching.
The middle-aged man is holding a glass of red wine and shaking it slightly in his hand. He has a stout figure, a round face, narrow eye contours, slightly raised lip corners, and a rich face. His face looks like a kind Bodhisattva.
But when he looked at the empty host seat at this moment, the occasional glint and calculation in his eyes made the servant who accidentally saw him shudder while serving the wine, and the hand pouring the wine shook unconsciously.
This middle-aged man is the deputy commander-in-chief of the base and the leader of the civilian area Wang Yangming. This luxurious mountainside villa is his house. The long row behind Wang Yangming is full of his subordinates, guards in the civilian area of the base, residences, etc.
Responsible for all aspects.
The person holding this meeting was not Tan Siqi, the current commander-in-chief of the base, but Wang Yangming, the leader of Province M and the current deputy commander-in-chief of the base.
Wang Yangming's purpose for suddenly convening this meeting is also very simple. He just wants to be the top leader of the base.
Since the establishment of the base, Wang Yangming's ambitions have continued to expand.
In his opinion, with the continuous natural disasters, the civilized order established by the previous society has long since collapsed. With his status and ability, there is no need to be subordinate to others.
There are seven or eight large and small provinces in the eastern region, including M Province, Su Province, and Gu Province. Wang Yangming's position as deputy commander-in-chief is only temporary. Many high-level officials from other regions have already arrived at the base. These people were the same as him in the past.
The equal relationship will also threaten his current position as the only deputy commander-in-chief.
After all, there is only one main position, but there can be many deputy positions.
But Wang Yangming is now solely responsible for everything in the base's civilian area. The people in charge of all aspects of the base's civilian area are his direct subordinates. How could he allow others to interfere in the affairs of the base's civilian area?
Wang Yangming has great ambitions. Not only does he not want others to encroach on his rights, he also wants to rise to a higher level and become the commander-in-chief of the base.
If he had faced the military in the past, it would have been difficult for him to achieve this goal, but this time the large-scale fever infection in the army gave him an opportunity.
…
When the commander-in-chief of the base, Senior General Tan Siqi, and several of his officers walked into this luxurious villa covered with wind and snow, the officers all frowned when they saw what they saw. Senior General Tan Siqi even had an expression on his face.
Shen Shen.
This villa was considered extremely luxurious even in the peaceful times.
Various luxury furniture in the living room on the first floor, antique vases placed randomly, large famous oil paintings on the wall... Things that ordinary people may not be able to afford in their lifetime can be seen everywhere here.
The warm and comfortable environment, bright lights... were in sharp contrast to the dire living conditions of the survivors down the mountain, which made the officers present feel extremely uncomfortable.
When the servants saw them coming, they came forward with dusters in their hands and respectfully wanted to dust off the snow and ice on the group's bodies, but they were stopped. The group of people took the dusters from the servants' hands and neatly wiped off the snow and ice on their bodies.
Sweep down.
After that, the housekeeper led us to the conference room on the second floor.
"Commander Tan is here! This servant really doesn't understand the rules. He didn't even know to tell me so that we could come to the door to greet you." Wang Yangming said this and glared at the butler as if reproachfully, but he still sat firmly.
There was no intention of getting up to greet him from his seat.
"Stay still, there is nothing you can see!" The secretary behind Wang Yangming looked in the direction of several people and scolded the housekeeper.
Like a servant from the old days, the butler lowered his waist amidst the scolding and quickly excused himself and left.
This scene is clearly a show of force.
Tan Siqi looked at Wang Yangming. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually became stagnant.
In fact, there have long been conflicts within the top management of the M province base.
At the beginning of the disaster, the flower-growing country responded quickly and began to implement militarized management. The four major militaries took the lead in preparing to build a human survival base.
However, the disaster developed so rapidly that the construction of the base lagged far behind the speed of the disaster. More and more survivors poured into the base, and the base's various infrastructure became increasingly tense.
However, the military is not good at dealing with issues such as civil affairs and construction management.
With Wang Yangming as the leader, they stood up and played an indispensable role in handling these matters.
It stands to reason that the problem was gradually solved, and the military and civilians should have worked together to build the base.
But now the power in Wang Yangming's hands has greatly increased, and his ambitions are gradually exposed.
The security organization under Wang Yangming secretly trained a large number of guards, and the number of these guards has far exceeded the security needs of the base.
He reused his own people and formed cliques. He also strongly advocated using the excuse of "classification for easier management" to divide the base into independent civilian areas, which were clearly separated from the military areas, so that the civilian areas could be completely separated from the control of the military areas.
This time, the rumor that "fever is an unknown virus that can be transmitted to each other" was spread and promoted by Wang Yangming's people in the base, which made the matter intensify.
"Pah——"
"Wang, what do you mean? Our commander is the commander-in-chief of the base and is executing orders from his superiors. Do you still want to overthrow him?"
The meeting started with a show of force. During the meeting, Wang Yangming pointed all conflicts at the military, suggesting that Tan Siqi should abdicate.
An officer with a hot temper finally couldn't help but arrange a table, but Wang Yangming was not to be outdone. The person in charge of the security bureau responded unceremoniously to the officer:
"Superior? Your army also knows very well that the four major bases are now independent of each other, so there is no superior! What's more, it is not our Deputy Commander Wang who wants this position, but Commander Tan, your own ability is not enough to match this position.
, abdicating one’s position in favor of a worthy one is also responsible for the lives of all survivors in the base!”
