If regular C virus was still within the scope of being a virus, then the enhanced C virus could only be described as outrageous!
Such a freakish virus served the bio-terrorism organizations like nuclear and dirty bombs. Qin Ming didn't want to turn the world into a bio-hazard paradise just yet.
The knowledge here was thoroughly absorbed by Qin Ming; to him, the research facility had already lost its value.
It was time to clear it out.
Qin Ming deleted all research data and used white phosphorus flames to destroy everything in the laboratory.
He picked up a vial of fresh serum, entered the elevator, and went downstairs.
At that moment, a riot was underway on the first floor of the building.
Just now, the person leading the prayers had suddenly turned into a zombie. Although the people quickly joined forces to push it to the doorway and kill it, an innocent girl was bitten.
The survivors in the lobby argued heatedly, wanting to throw her out.
"Get her out of here!"
"We can't keep her here; she will turn into a monster just like that guy did!"
Although Lao Hu could not understand their words, he could read their expressions. He felt as if he were being pointed at by a thousand fingers, like a tiny skiff in the ocean, clinging to his shivering daughter.
His wife was crying non-stop on the side.
The female investigator stood in front of them with her hand raised to calm them down.
"Quiet!"
"Listen to me, kicking her out alone will definitely get her bitten to death by zombies. We can tie her up with a rope for now and deal with her if she turns into a zombie later."
"What's the use? She'll still turn into a zombie."
"Maybe she won't mutate! Just maybe!" Someone voiced a different opinion.
As the crowd argued, the elevator doors opened slowly, and a young man in a white lab coat stepped out, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.
They thought they were the only ones left in the building. They didn't expect someone to be above them.
"Who are you?" someone asked.
Qin Ming, expression unfazed, ignored the question and walked straight up to Lao Hu:
"I can save her."
This statement electrified the haggard middle-aged man. The voice was familiar; Lao Hu looked up to see the mysterious man who had warned them before.
He remembered the last thing he said, "Chinese do not cheat Chinese."
The current situation proved he really hadn't lied.
Hope ignited in Lao Hu's heart. As a father, casting aside his dignity, he knelt before the man:
"Please! I beg you to save her!"
"Stand up."
"I don't like this way of showing gratitude."
Lao Hu stood up, only to see the man take out a vial of white medicine from his pocket, inject it into his daughter's fair neck, and the serum spread throughout her body via her carotid artery.
The antibodies contained within bound massively with the C virus in her blood, her immune system rapidly recognized it, and white blood cells and T lymphocytes swiftly eliminated the virus from her body.
Lao Hu didn't understand these changes, but seeing his daughter's complexion improve, he knew it was effective, and that was enough.
Qin Ming's telekinetic field observed the changes in the girl's body.
Having done so, he came to a conclusion.
The regular C virus wasn't a problem, but with the enhanced C virus, his current antiviral serum likely had no effect. He even suspected that even if the enhanced C virus was neutralized with antibodies and recognized by the immune system, it might still kill the immune cells.
In a short while, the girl's complexion returned to normal, showing no signs of turning into a zombie.
"Xiao Xiao, do you feel better now?"
"Dad, I feel much better," the girl said, lying in her father's arms, looking at Qin Ming with grateful eyes.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Lao Hu and his wife said, bowing deeply in gratitude.
The recent events were witnessed by the surrounding people, their gazes turned fervent, and the prestigious female investigator was the first to step forward:
"Sir, who are you exactly?"
"I am just an ordinary scientist."
The female investigator was momentarily lost for words, then after a pause, she asked:
"Just now, was that serum for treating the virus?"
"What do you think?"
The people present weren't fools; they could grasp the meaning of his words.
The injection into the girl was serum!
There was a cure for the virus here!!!
No, I have to get this important news out!
The female investigator, a tumult of thoughts surging within, blended into the crowd without attracting attention and took out her cellphone, surreptitiously calling her father, the mayor.
Her subtle actions didn't escape Qin Ming's telekinetic field, but he had no intention of stopping her; it was part of the plan.
To save the mayor's daughter, let the infected people in, treat the infected with the serum, and then get the message out.
...
Japan's government was in chaos now, debating how to clean up the mess in Tokyo.
The military had temporarily sealed off the exits of Tokyo, and specific plans were still being discussed among military and political parties.
Inside a conference hall, many Japanese higher-ups sat, fiercely debating.
Some wanted to abandon Tokyo, while others wanted to send the military to sweep through Tokyo.
They were adamant in their own views, lacking the seasoned prudence they usually exhibited in high positions. Instead, they were like market women haggling over vegetables, loud and clamorous.
Apart from high-ranking Japanese officials and generals of the self-defense forces,
representatives from the stationed US military base and the BSAA Anti-Biohazard Organization also attended the meeting.
The incessant babbling of these Japanese politicians was unbearable for the colonel; even after half a day, they hadn't come to any conclusion.
Unable to take it any longer, he slammed his fist onto the conference table. The surrounding people stopped arguing, and a brief silence fell over the hall as they were stunned.
"Enough! If you can't control the infection in Tokyo, we can launch an intercontinental tactical nuclear missile to help you clear it out!"
