745: Chapter 745: Sweeping the Globe!
A Life-and-Death Gamble!
The situation is urgent!
Countries thousands of miles apart have all confird cases of the virus.
What does this an?
Clearly, the Sakuragi Hana virus had spread.
Perhaps since the day the Muto Conglorate in Yincheng was wiped out, soone had already started to maliciously release the virus.
Eleven days!
By the ti the Star Federation reported its first case of Sakuragi Hana virus, it had been eleven days since the Muto Conglorate in Yincheng was purged!
Such a lengthy period was enough for many people to be infected without realizing it.
And Liuli Continent, which is closer to Yincheng, would undoubtedly suffer the sa fate, sooner or later infected patients would be discovered.
After all, there are flights to and from Yincheng every day, with people traveling for business, study, and tourism—and in no small numbers.
Therefore.
Inside the joint command center.
Everyone believed that since the Star Federation had confird cases, there must be dostic ones too, only that the symptoms had just started and weren’t severe enough to attract attention yet.
Only when ti passed and the illness worsened, making ergency hospital visits necessary, would cases likely be discovered and diagnosed.
But by then, who knows how many innocent people would have been infected.
And this is precisely the vicious nature of the Sakuragi Hana virus.
The incubation period is not very long, but there are too many ways it can spread.
In the early stages of the illness, it’s also highly deceptive, making people unsure whether they have a minor cold or a serious illness.
Approaching noon.
In Liuli City, the spokesperson for foreign news at the routine press conference issued an answer regarding this matter for the first ti.
The person who asked the question was a journalist from Yincheng.
As the largest news dia within Yincheng, Morning News of course had tight connections with all industries.
The Muto Conglorate in Yincheng was investigated; surrounded by heavy troops and interfered with by multiple countries.
They were aware of the issue but didn’t dare to report on it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spokesperson also announced a temporary traffic control order.
Effective imdiately, all flights and ship services to and from Yincheng were suspended, and people who had returned from Yincheng within the last half-month were advised to head to a nearby public hospital for blood testing as soon as possible.
While advising not to panic, they also announced temporary traffic restrictions.
The core ssage was clear.
Whether the antidote actually worked, whether it had side effects or complications, nobody knew.
Even Yincheng wasn’t certain, didn’t dare to use it recklessly, and no one was willing to take responsibility.
So, they waited to see what Yincheng and the Star Federation would do next and would then implent corresponding asures.
This way, even the billions of netizens could have no complaints.
…
As the various departnts worked together and employed a full array of promotional thods.
Many mainstream dia outlets followed suit, re-reporting official news.
More and more people beca aware of the situation.
Finally!
Around four in the afternoon.
The joint command center received an ergency notification from Qicheng.
Ti kept ticking away.
The number of virus patients confird around the world was increasing.
Those not yet found, those being infected…
were simply countless.
So here cos the question.
The antidote that countries began to hastily produce a few days ago, could it be used?
Yincheng, where the patient count had already surpassed ten thousand, was especially frustrated.
The perpetrator likely released the virus in a subway station, and with each station in Rocky Continent experiencing an average daily passenger flow of over a million, the direct and indirect infections were far too nurous.
Even up to now, their hospitals were overwheld.
After the outbreak news was released…
Too many people ca to hospitals wanting to be checked; so were not sick at all, rely suffering from exhaustion due to lack of rest.
So just had a cold and were not infected with the virus at all.
A vast number of people, like those in a siege, had overwheld the hospitals.
There were far too many people seeking blood tests.
And in these circumstances, those who were already infected got mixed in.
As they queued for tests and sought advice, they unwittingly spread the virus in the hospitals.
What use was it, even if soone were diagnosed?
Ordinary dications were completely ineffective, and hospitalization was not advisable.
The first confird cases were already showing a trend of gradual deterioration.
What to do?
In Yincheng, no authorities dared to make a decision.
Even Mutoh Yoshio said at most they could ensure three to five months of health and effectiveness.
Who the hell knows if the virus will worsen and relapse after half a year or one to two years, leading to imdiate death?
Once released, once they start the injection of the cure-all, administering the miracle drug to patients.
It would be absolute madness!
The billions who aren’t infected would definitely pay any price, no matter how much it costs to get the miracle drug, to prevent the disease.
And those who are already infected, knowing how painful and miserable the virus makes people in its later stages, would probably go bankrupt to buy the miracle drug.
Make money?
What’s the point?
The biggest worry is…
In the short term, there would be no problem, but what about the future?
If the virus really did worsen and break out after a year or two, what then, without a new cure-all?
Are we supposed to just watch, as countless people die in agony?
By that ti, it wouldn’t be just about the extinction of a nation but the end of the world.
What to do?
If used, the safety risks are simply too great!
If not used, then just wait for a painful death!
…
Yincheng’s Muto Conglorate, the developers of the Sakuragi Hana virus, had indeed beco the target of universal condemnation.
But anger, hate, curses…
what use were they?
Even if they hung up Mutoh Yoshio and all the others, flaying them thousands of tis, even throwing them into the boiling oil, torturing them a thousand tis over, what would that achieve?
The virus had already broken out!
Around the world, tens of thousands had been confird infected, and the numbers were still skyrocketing.
As ti passed, countless innocent people would suffer because of them.
What should we do?
Seeing countless suffering citizens, hospitals overcrowded, the epidemic raging…
Inside Yincheng’s official departnts, etings were continuously being called for consultation and discussion.
But an agreent was never reached.
So felt it was better to cling to life than accept death.
Since they were infected with the Sakuragi Hana virus, since they wouldn’t live much longer, why not struggle in their dying monts?
After taking the miracle drug, at least they could live another five months, which was better than dying in agony in a few days, right?
Moreover, they called on countries around the world to gather the best dical experts and the most advanced equipnt to focus all efforts on research.
Perhaps, after five months, a drug capable of complete cure might be developed.
What’s more, the miracle drug might be able to provide a complete cure without relapse, so why not try it?
Why resign to death now?
…
However, a small minority who opposed it thought the risks were too great.
If it wasn’t a complete cure, if the epidemic suddenly erupted again after five months, one day in the future…
Then, it would be like a biohazard crisis from a movie.
Everywhere, people on the brink of death, everywhere, the madness just before dying.
By that ti, everyone’s gonna die anyway, who’s going to behave obediently?
But they also didn’t consider that by standing by now, allowing the virus to spread unchecked, harming the public.
The Sakuragi Hana virus was so unpreventable that the so-called end of the world would break out soon, there was no need to wait months or years.
…
After heated exchanges and communicating with other developed countries, the decision was finally made to approve the dicine.
Even if extinction cos in five months, it was better than the nation being wiped out now.
Ti is life!
Any further delay would really result in a mass loss of life.
With the Emperor taking responsibility, what was there to hesitate about?
And so.
In Yincheng, where the outbreak was most severe, the miracle drug was imdiately used on a large scale, followed soon after by other countries.
For the sake of survival, humanity gambled with their lives…
