Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

"This time, only the special envoy and I are here as special investigators. As for whether experts and doctors are needed to support us, it depends on our report and assessment results." Li said in a business-like tone: "Corporal Fleming , you seem disappointed."

"Of course I'm disappointed, no, I'm more than disappointed, I'm simply desperate! What should we do without experts? What should our soldiers, my brothers do? Are we still waiting for reports and assessments? God Emperor, when will this happen? By the time all these procedures are completed, they will be dead and buried in the ground!"

"Corporal Fleming, calm down!" Li said: "First of all, understand your identity and think about who you are talking to. The person standing in front of you is the temporary investigator and special envoy of the Special Investigation Team. You must understand the difference between us. Secondly, you should understand that your anger is unfounded, because the rules are like this, and it is impossible for the higher-ups to throw the precious expert team into danger just because of your report. "

"Yes, I understand, I just," Fleming said almost collapsed: "I just can't watch my brothers being tortured to death by this hateful virus. I'm too tired..."

Fleming was indeed very tired. He was just a small hygienist. He had not even graduated from medical school. To be precise, Fleming is just a senior student who is about to graduate from medical school. He will serve as an intern in the Stormtroopers for a full year, and then he will be recommended to a relevant military hospital. After completing a full seven-year internship as a doctor, he is qualified to become a respected professional physician. But now, the life burden of an entire company is on this rookie. His enemy is extremely powerful, but for the sake of those brothers who are groaning in pain, he has to bite the bullet and rush forward.

If Fleming wasn't so tired, if his mind wasn't filled with the shapes of bacteria, the knowledge of pathology and bacteriology, and not the various question marks, then he should have been able to discover the obvious problems that existed in this. . First of all, Li did not produce any documents, although he was very impressive; secondly, it is impossible for any Eldar envoys to appear in this kind of investigation team. Even if some Eldar people communicate with human officials, they will occasionally send special envoys. Coming to human society, it is impossible for the military to allow these Eldar envoys to act at will, and it is impossible for these Eldar people to come to the scene of the incident.

But Fleming couldn't care about this now. He had no time left in his mind to consider these issues.

Because Fleming was fighting, for him, this was an almost desperate battle, but the soldiers still had to fight until the last moment. Under Li's sculpture-like face, some indifferent places were quietly touched, With such soldiers, how could the empire fail? Yes, those revolutionaries and people who complain about social injustice have seen too many dark things. Their eyes have been put on colored glasses. They were intimidated by the power of the enemy, and then lost their cool. They couldn't see They may not notice the efforts of these ordinary people, or even if they see it, they will not pay attention to it, but the fact is that it is really because of the efforts of countless ordinary people and the persistence of countless ordinary people in fighting that mankind still stands in the galaxy and occupies It has the vastest space and the largest empire.

As long as there are admirable warriors like them, the empire will not fall.

"Corporal, how long have you been without rest?"

"Three days, three whole days without a wink."

"Corporal Fleming, I know you are very tired," Li took the initiative to walk to the corner of the room, turned on the coffee machine, brewed a cup of coffee for Fleming, and put the coffee into Fleming's hands with both hands. He led him to sit down under the sofa, and then said: "But now is not the time for you to rest, Fleming, the battle is still going on, your brothers are still fighting against the disease, and you can't stop, at least for now. It’s not your time to rest yet.”

"Yes, I can't stop. I can't give up. There are so many lives. I can't just relax. I have to continue to study. This new type of virus is really amazing. It's a shame that I didn't have it in college. Study hard..." With that said, Fleming was about to stand up and return to the workbench, but was stopped by Li.

"There's no need to rush, listen to me, the most important thing you should do now is drink this cup of coffee first." After watching Fleming pour a whole cup of coffee into his mouth, Li continued: "Now you can Tell me about these viruses, starting from the very beginning, starting with the first patient.”

"In the beginning, hey, there was almost no beginning," Fleming said with a blank look on his face: "The virus seemed to spread in an instant. It was a sudden large-scale outbreak without any warning. The virus seemed to just... Suddenly appeared out of thin air, and almost half of the soldiers in the company fell in the initial large-scale virus outbreak. The first symptoms were fever, high fever, which can make people confused, and even vague patients will feel extreme thirst. He would constantly need to drink water. At first, we could only satisfy the patient, but I soon discovered that drinking a lot of water would not only not curb the disease, but would also accelerate the progression of the disease. After the patient drank a lot of water, it would cause edema all over the body, even after drinking water. You have to continue drinking water after vomiting, and vomiting will speed up the spread of the virus, causing more people to be infected by the virus. Both doctors in the company collapsed at this stage."

"This does not appear to be an unusual situation, and this is not the pattern of natural transmission of the virus."

"Yes, I also suspect that this is the enemy's biological warfare. However, the three companies stationed not far away from us do not seem to be infected by the virus. And who is the enemy? Why did he bypass the three companies on the periphery? Company, they want to poison our company? Of course, these are not questions that a little person like me should think about, and I don’t have time to think about where these viruses came from. The most important thing right now is how to defeat this virus. virus."

"We will write these issues in the report. I agree with you. At present, your biggest enemy is not the black hands behind the virus, but the virus itself. Tell me more about the virus. What happens after a large-scale outbreak of the virus? What happened? Have you discovered how the virus spreads in the early stages? How to prevent it?”

"Yes, this is the most important issue about infectious viruses, the way the virus spreads and the prevention methods." Fleming nodded and said: "The virus is extremely vital and contagious in the early stage. It is initially estimated that it is transmitted through the air. However, We do not rule out the possibility of food infection. If this is the case, then it is very likely that an enemy has infiltrated into our castle, or there is simply a traitor among us. After being poisoned, the patient will initially become insane due to high fever and thirst. , if you drink water normally, edema will appear all over the body, abscesses and blisters will appear on the body after three days. The blisters will gradually fester within three days. Drinking water will speed up the process. The festered blisters are like a culture tank. , countless viruses breed in the pus, and when the pus ruptures, more viruses will spread into the air. At this time, the patient will become mentally disturbed, feel irritable, and be afraid of light. and accompanied by symptoms of rabies.”

"Symptoms of rabies?"

"Yes, the patient's physical strength will suddenly increase, and he will become extremely aggressive and lose his sense of pain."

"Extremely aggressive? Will he bite?"

"Yes."

"Saliva can also transmit this virus?"

"Yes, so we put all the patients in their own rooms separately. Fortunately, they have lost their intelligence after losing consciousness and cannot open the door on their own for the time being." Fleming sighed, painful and numb Said: "And it is currently discovered that this virus has the same weakness as all viruses. This extremely harmful virus must live on the host in order to absorb nutrients and survive, but at the same time the virus is killing the host, so we only need to By limiting the area where the virus spreads and isolating the virus area, the problem should not get out of control. The only good news is that after preliminary experiments, I found that the virus will die naturally after losing its host in the natural environment. It should be safe for you to move around in most areas of the castle now. Only here, as a research area, I cultivated some viruses in the culture tank and did not let them die naturally. At the same time, when some symptoms appeared, I Slow patient rooms are not safe either.”

"Did anyone die from this?"

"More than a hundred brothers have died, and more brothers are slowly dying in pain." Fleming said with a numb face: "I have nothing to do against this virus now. Almost most common antibiotics and Special medicines are ineffective against this virus and can only cause more pain to patients.”

"According to what you said, as long as an isolation area is established, the virus will naturally dissipate after all the patients die."

Fleming's face became intense for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed and said dejectedly: "Yes, this is indeed the lowest-cost approach."

"No, it shouldn't be wrong." Li said to himself, "It shouldn't be that simple."

The traitor Leroy obviously regards this virus as a killer. But if you only need to establish an isolation area in time and let the infected die naturally, you can prevent the spread and spread of the virus, and the virus will die naturally over time, then there is nothing special about this virus. He and Most of the infectious diseases in the empire are the same. The empire doesn't care about this little harm at all, and the upper levels don't even pay special attention to it.

How can this spread terror?
