Indescribable cyberpunk

"Deputy Director Newcastle, through urban surveillance and official database inquiries, it has been determined that the infected people who appeared in Community No. 12 and Second Avenue were victims of a new mode of transmission of the virus. Photos of the items found at the scene have been sent to Your computer was brought into the airship by a suspected member of the Ouroboros organization and was tested and determined to be a virus loading device."

The android secretary stood in front of the desk and reported in detail what happened last night.

"The situation of infected people."

Looking at the cut-out internal cross-section of the "vacuum cup" on the computer screen, Newcastle looked grim.

"Because of your advance warning, the scene was under control as soon as the infected person appeared. Subsequently, the patrol team strengthened the isolation. Therefore, there were only five infected people, including the airboat driver, and they were two security guards at the nightclub. , the two passers-by who were closest to the airboat driver at the time."

Under the premise of ensuring that the movement of the "mother body" is restricted, the spread of the virus is not fast, which is the main reason why the number of infected people is so small.

"What is the situation in other communities? Are there also infected people?"

After reluctantly breathing a sigh of relief, Newcastle continued to ask.

"Infected persons were found in communities on the 16th and 18th, but after testing, they were all Category 1 infected persons, not the special infected persons discovered last night."

"Maintain the current supervision model, notify the Ministry of Security and the Community Patrol Bureau, and there will never be any relaxation until the Ouroboros organization is completely wiped out!"

No matter what, Newcastle would not believe that Ouroboros had only prepared one can of virus. In his opinion, there were only two possible situations at the moment.

The virus release last night was just a test by the Ouroboros organization. They have also prepared a series of follow-up actions. If not, it means that the infected people found in Community No. 12 were just part of the poisoning operation last night. Qianfan There are special infected people they haven't discovered yet in some parts of the city!

When he thought of this, Newcastle's face, which had just softened, became tense again.

This situation is no longer under his control. Even if he knows in advance that special infected people will appear, there are always some omissions in the vast Qianfan City and Heaven's intelligence.

What's more, this is not a naturally occurring virus, but is spread deliberately by cult members. In addition, their selection of targets is irregular, which has caused great obstacles to the epidemic prevention center's efforts to locate infected people.

"Contact Ms. Margaret. I don't think so. The alert level must be raised. This is a war. We must be fully prepared in advance!"

Faced with the current situation, Newcastle can only choose to implement stricter epidemic prevention procedures. As the deputy director of the Epidemic Prevention Institute, this is where his accusation lies.

However, before the android could contact Ms. Margaret according to Newcastle's request, another communication took over the line.

"Deputy Director Newcastle, there is an official internal line from Sky City. Is it connected?"

"From the City in the Sky, who?"

Newcastle frowned subconsciously when he mentioned that city. He had never liked it, even if it was the pride of this super city.

"Sorry, this information is encrypted by Tianzhi Brain and cannot be queried."

"Tsk, put it through."

Living in the Sky City, with access to the government's internal communication network, even encrypted by the Heavenly Intelligence Brain, the other party's identity was obviously extraordinary, and Newcastle could only temporarily put aside the idea of ​​contacting Ms. Margaret.

"I'm Newcastle."

Put on the Bluetooth headset placed on the side of the desk, and the communication is immediately connected by the android secretary.

"Your Excellency Newcastle, a certain lord has asked me to inquire about the true situation of the recently discovered epidemic."

The voice on the other side sounded like a middle-aged man, probably quite young.

"This is an internal secret of the epidemic prevention center. I have no comment. If there is nothing else, I have important matters to be busy with!"

For other people, the big shots in the Sky City may have to be served with trepidation, but as the deputy director of the epidemic prevention center, Newcastle has no interest in wrangling with these guys.

There are more important things waiting for him to complete.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Newcastle, I just have one question. How long will it take for a specific drug to be developed against the epidemic?"

"I still say the same thing about the special medicine, it's confidential, no comment!"

Newcastle was a little surprised, not because of the other party's question, but because the other party actually asked the question in this way.

Being able to use the government's internal communication network proved that the other party had connections within the government, not through the government but by entrusting others to inquire privately, which made him puzzled.

The only thing that was certain was that the other party was not from the Ouroboros organization. They had insiders in the government. If they wanted to know the progress of the special medicine, there was no need to ask.

"It seems that the results have not yet appeared. My question is over. Goodbye."

Newcastle was not given a chance to speak again. After the words fell, the communication was hung up immediately.

"The gentlemen in the Sky City have actually started to care about the epidemic in the lower city. It's really rare to bring this number to the Security Department. I want to know its origin."

He took off his earphones and put this matter behind him for the time being. He raised his hand to ask the secretary to continue contacting Ms. Margaret. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the personal phone in his arms was vibrating again. He lowered his head and glanced at the screen, and then the palm of his hand The movement becomes swinging out,

"You go out first, don't let anyone in."

Newcastle was obviously more concerned about this than the telegrams received by his secretary. After the office door closed, he hurriedly answered the call: "Lecter, is there any new news?"

Newcastle, who relied on Lecter's information to avoid a large-scale infection in advance, was always looking forward to the man behind him. It seemed a bit ambiguous. It should be that the man standing behind him could bring him more information.

"Mr. Rona needs your help."

On the other side of the phone, Zhu Jue looked up at a shop with a cross sign as he spoke.

In addition to the two sets of costumes, he also needed some props, but compared to the clothes, he had a vague impression of the things in the hands of the members of the Ouroboros organization. Forget about the long sword, the shape of the lantern was not easy to describe. , so I found this religious supplies store in Community No. 25.

"Mr. Rona, no problem, of course I am willing to help."

Knowing that Rona should be enjoying his retirement life in Dawn City at this time, Newcastle understood the meaning of Zhu Jue's words.

"I need you to issue a notice later. Mr. Rona did not explain the specific content, but he clearly mentioned that the notice must state that the epidemic prevention center has recently collected a group of severely infected patients."

Watching Suzi and Gu Yinxing go in to communicate with the store manager, Zhu Jue put away the umbrella in his hand and put it into the umbrella basket surrounded by iron sheet at the door. He didn't go in. He just stood in front of the window outside the store and casually looked at the pile inside. A TV is placed on a small wooden table among the miscellaneous utensils.

"For the epidemic prevention station to issue a notice, does it have to be a severely infected person?"

Holding a pen in his hand, he wrote down key points on the notebook paper he pulled out next to him. The pen tip tapped the fragile paper, but he still couldn't hold back his surprise.

"Yes, this is very important, and it must be done as soon as possible. If possible, it is best to transfer a few seriously infected patients."

Zhu Jue did not explain the hidden purpose of this request to Newcastle. On the one hand, it was to keep it secret, and on the other hand, because what he wanted to do with the help of this announcement sounded too bizarre to Newcastle, so instead of spending more If you don't have time to explain, it's better to keep it secret.

Based on the previous happy cooperation between the two parties, Zhu Jue believed that Newcastle would not reject him because of such a thing.

While speaking, Zhu Jue's eyes unconsciously stayed on the TV screen, which was playing a religious talk show. Both the host and the guests were wearing religious clothes.

Of course, they are all regular religious personnel, those who have registered with the corresponding government departments and are allowed to preach.

This should be the method used by the store manager to attract specific customers.

Zhu Jue has always been indifferent to this kind of show. Normally, he would definitely not watch it a second time.

In fact, he did exactly that. He just glanced at the flow of people on the street, but because he was close to the window, he could not avoid hearing the conversation on the show:

"Recently, we have noticed that there are quite a lot of awakened people among believers. Yes, I call them awakened people. They claim that they have dreamed of some strange scenes. I think this is some kind of omen. Nowadays, with the popularity of quasi-technology, people’s spirits are becoming increasingly empty. They need faith, not spiritual drugs. We are trying to give more people the opportunity to come into contact with faith.”

There are some things today, let’s update them for now
