Chapter 442 - 438 Viral Infection (3)
"Me?" Ling Chen touched his nose and said with a bitter smile, "Don’t hold too high hopes for me. I only know a superficial amount."
"No problem. Maybe a few of us half-baked experts combined will be able to fumble our way to a solution."
Ling Chen let out a wry laugh; Zhou Jun seemed to be relying entirely on luck.
"Alright, enough joking, let’s talk seriously," Zhou Jun put on a grave face and said: "I’ve checked the conditions of those patients. Their vital signs appear normal, probably because the virus is still in the incubation period, making symptoms not very obvious. However, considering the speed of infection and the vectors, as well as the symptoms and lethality that have been observed, I suspect this virus may be derived from the plague or cholera."
After some thought, He Yuan said, "Based on the symptoms and signs of the patients, the likelihood of it being the plague virus seems higher."
"Right, that’s what I think, too. However, with current medical technology, the plague has already been dealt with. Since someone wants to harm us, they certainly wouldn’t use an ordinary strain of the plague virus. In my opinion, this is likely a new type of virus that is based on the plague but has been modified."
After hearing Zhou Jun’s conjecture, He Yuan said with a troubled face, "If that’s the case, it might be very difficult to find a solution within two days. Any contagious virus has to undergo repeated trials before we can draw a conclusion. We only have two days, and the medical equipment on board is limited, so we can’t conduct overly complex experiments."
Zhou Jun scratched the back of his head and said with a headache, "This is indeed a problem." After saying that, he looked at the silent Ling Chen and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Me..."
Ling Chen was about to speak when suddenly he heard the sound of helicopter rotors starting from outside.
