Chapter 465: Chapter 0466 Influenza [Part 3]

Chu Feng, upon hearing Huang Lan’s words, couldn’t help but be stunned, saying, "A genetic virus?"

Huang Lan spoke with a grave tone, "Yes. Professor Edward said that the symptoms you described are very similar to a genetic virus he discovered years ago. Back then, in his research on genetic cyborgs, he experimented with many types of genes, including this genetic virus. At that time, Professor Edward had identified the genetic characteristics of this virus, which posed a severe fatality to some special humans with particular genes."

A thought struck Chu Feng, who said, "Jianguo is now in critical condition. I can have the hospital immediately analyze Jianguo’s genes, and then have Edward compare them."

Huang Lan said, "That would be best."

Three hours later, Chu Feng received a definite answer from Huang Lan. The virus, similar to the flu, was indeed the genetic virus Edward had discovered years ago. Jianguo was a carrier of those special genes Robert had found, which was why Jianguo’s illness was so severe.

"Professor Edward said that being a carrier of these special genes is a rare occurrence, only a one in a thousand chance. However, the population of East River has now surpassed ten million. That means there could be at least ten thousand people carrying this special gene. We have been ordered to resolve this immediately," said Huang Lan.

Chu Feng said, "I know how to save one person, but I can’t save everyone. So, this matter still needs your attention."

Huang Lan said, "Professor Edward has an antidote, but we don’t know how to distribute it to over ten million people simultaneously."

Chu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, and catching a glimpse of the water tank on the table, he said, "The antidote could be added to the water supply. It’s the Spring Festival period. Whether people are eating at home or in a restaurant, they can’t do without water. Put the antidote into the water through the water plant."

Huang Lan’s eyes lit up and he said, "That’s a good idea. I’ll immediately have the antidote sent to the East River water plant. Now, you investigate the origin of the genetic virus."

Chu Feng said, "It’s difficult to find the source here with me. It might be better to have Edward recall where this virus had flowed into after he discovered it."

Pausing, Chu Feng said, "Actually, if it’s really too much trouble, just go directly to the Elite Society. They are in East River, and I don’t believe this issue is unrelated to them."

Huang Lan said, "We’ve considered that possibility, but there’s a good chance it wasn’t the Elite Society’s doing. Because Robert said that after he discovered this genetic virus, he only managed to develop the antidote. The virus samples were taken away by the American military. The Elite Society might not have access to it; it’s very likely that other hostile forces poisoned the water, hoping to set us against the Elite Society. Then they could reap the benefits."

Chu Feng frowned and said, "Can this situation really be that complicated?"

Huang Lan said, "You’re only thinking of your own interests; how could you know the current international situation? Our enemy’s intent to destroy us has never ceased..."

Chu Feng said, "Alright, save the political education for later. I will investigate as much as I can, but you need to hurry up too."

Huang Lan said, "Black Bear has already taken off in a fighter jet and will reach East River in an hour."

Chu Feng said, "Alright, I have people waiting for me at home for a meal; leave these major issues to you important folks. As a minor player like me, if I can handle this mess in front of me, I will be very satisfied."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng directly used Spiritual Energy to help Jianguo regain consciousness.

He briefly mentioned the matter to Jianguo, and Jianguo, hearing that it could be resolved, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, during the Spring Festival, if tens of thousands of people in East River had died, he would have been uneasy for the rest of his life.

"Everything will be handled, your dad and the others are still at home waiting for us to return for the reunion dinner," Chu Feng told Jianguo.

Jianguo, with a troubled expression, said, "Uncle, the situation hasn’t been resolved yet, I can’t leave my post. You go back first. I’ll return once the antidote has fully mixed into the water."

Chu Feng said, "Alright, just get home early. I’m going now."

Upon returning home, Chu Feng received a call from Huang Lan, informing him that the antidote had already successfully entered the water plant’s circulation system.

Moreover, Black Bear had made an unexpected discovery at the water plant, finding the genetic virus that was being prepared to be dumped into the water.

Unfortunately, Black Bear had not captured anyone.

"They are really ruthless, actually planning to poison an entire city’s people!" Chu Feng, hearing Huang Lan’s words, felt a surge of anger. This was a city of millions, and they dared to poison a city with such a population.

"The sample Black Bear found, after analysis, proved to be a modified version. Its toxicity is very small and no longer poses a lethal threat to humans. Clearly, the enemy didn’t dare to commit such an atrocious act; they must have another agenda. We plan to turn the tables and probe their purposes," said Huang Lan.

Chu Feng’s voice grew cold, "What do you mean, you’re still planning to add the virus to the water supply?"

Huang Lan said, "There was such an intention, but it was not approved."

Chu Feng, hearing Huang Lan’s words, also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Huang Lan still snorted coldly, saying, "I don’t know who you’re referring to by ’higher-ups’, whether they are respectable or not. Even if this virus is no longer toxic, how many people and children does East River have, whose resistances could compare to adults?"

Huang Lan said, "It’s just a minority that thinks this way; most people still wouldn’t agree."

Chu Feng asked, "What do you mean by turning the tables?"

Huang Lan said, "After our research, we’ve decided to deploy a troop, then use a counteracting gene developed by Edward to neutralize the virus. This will produce a similar effect, but it will not harm the physique of the people; instead, it will enhance the physique of the soldiers. Then they will create a false illusion."

Chu Feng asked, "Will the enemy believe that?"

Huang Lan said, "The water pipe where Black Bear discovered the genetic virus sends water to the East River garrison. The enemy should believe it, and moreover, this way, we can minimize the impact."

Chu Feng said, "Then make your own decision, but I only hope you make sure that Edward’s research has no issues."

Huang Lan said, "The safety can be absolutely guaranteed; we’ve conducted tens of thousands of experiments already."

Chu Feng said, "That’s good then, I’m going home to eat."
