745: Chapter 745: Sweeping the Globe!

A Life-and-Death Gamble!

The situation is urgent!

Countries thousands of miles apart have all confirmed cases of the virus.

What does this mean?

Clearly, the Sakuragi Hana virus had spread.

Perhaps since the day the Muto Conglomerate in Yincheng was wiped out, someone had already started to maliciously release the virus.

Eleven days!

By the time the Star Federation reported its first case of Sakuragi Hana virus, it had been eleven days since the Muto Conglomerate 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 same 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 confirmed cases, there must be domestic ones too, only that the symptoms had just started and weren’t severe enough to attract attention yet.

Only when time passed and the illness worsened, making emergency 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 time.

The person who asked the question was a journalist from Yincheng.

As the largest news media within Yincheng, Morning News of course had tight connections with all industries.

The Muto Conglomerate 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 immediately, 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 message 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 implement corresponding measures.

This way, even the billions of netizens could have no complaints.

…

As the various departments worked together and employed a full array of promotional methods.

Many mainstream media outlets followed suit, re-reporting official news.

More and more people became aware of the situation.

Finally!

Around four in the afternoon.

The joint command center received an emergency notification from Qicheng.

Time kept ticking away.

The number of virus patients confirmed around the world was increasing.

Those not yet found, those being infected…

were simply countless.

So here comes 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 numerous.

Even up to now, their hospitals were overwhelmed.

After the outbreak news was released…

Too many people came to hospitals wanting to be checked; some were not sick at all, merely suffering from exhaustion due to lack of rest.

Some just had a cold and were not infected with the virus at all.

A vast number of people, like those in a siege, had overwhelmed 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 someone were diagnosed?

Ordinary medications were completely ineffective, and hospitalization was not advisable.

The first confirmed 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 immediate 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 time, 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 Conglomerate, the developers of the Sakuragi Hana virus, had indeed become 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 times, even throwing them into the boiling oil, torturing them a thousand times over, what would that achieve?

The virus had already broken out!

Around the world, tens of thousands had been confirmed infected, and the numbers were still skyrocketing.

As time 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 departments, meetings were continuously being called for consultation and discussion.

But an agreement was never reached.

Some 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 moments?

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 medical experts and the most advanced equipment 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 time, 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 medicine.

Even if extinction comes in five months, it was better than the nation being wiped out now.

Time 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 immediately used on a large scale, followed soon after by other countries.

For the sake of survival, humanity gambled with their lives…
