From then on, the war entered its second major phase.
Since 2540, the war had lasted a full eighteen years by 2558.
In the early days, humans strictly carried out isolation measures.
However, after 2542, the policy changed.
Although life in space with the help of the quantum network already had a considerable degree of social distancing, most people had a conditioned fear of bacteria and tried their best to reduce social interaction. However, it still persisted for more than ten years, and ten years is just too long.
During these long ten years, the ZS bacteria quietly lurked and spread, never stopping.
By now, the number of infected people had reached an uncontrollable level, at least exceeding one-third of the total population.
With the power of quantum intelligence, it was possible to trace the source of infection quickly and accurately.
