Global Crisis!

784: Chapter 784: Virus Mutation?

Global Crisis!

The situation is critical!

Bad news keeps coming!

Desperate for a cure!

Some patients and doctors privately administer medication haphazardly, using various folk remedies and strange methods in an attempt to eradicate the Sakuragi Hana virus.

But what was the result?

The virus wasn’t eliminated; instead, it induced the virus, leading to numerous new mutations.

Now they’re happy, the mutation of the AIDS virus triggered within Muto Sami’s body hasn’t been figured out yet, and other patients and doctors’ rash actions have led to even more mutations.

Nowadays, Yincheng is shrouded in the shadow of death, from its cities to its countryside.

Oil, natural gas, food, vegetables, ores…

almost everything needs to be imported.

Shutting down the internet doesn’t really matter; you won’t die from not being online.

But this flight ban…

if goods can’t come in, how can the island’s reserves of various materials withstand the panic consumption?

Panic consumption is a new term coined by the Yincheng officials.

But because of fear and panic, people worry about virus infection and shortage of supplies, leading to a frenzy of hoarding and panic buying.

Pessimism spreads wildly.

And thus.

There’s nothing sadder than a dead heart!

Once thoughts enter a dead end, it’s especially easy to do crazy things.

Malignant crime and suicide occur frequently, causing more human casualties and economic damage than the viral epidemic itself.

So…

In the epidemic reports to countries around the world, the archipelago also made a plea.

Can the flight bans be lifted to stop the movement of people but allow international trade to resume?

The domestic production in Yincheng is currently at a standstill, so they don’t lack resources like oil, natural gas, or minerals.

But essential living supplies such as rice, vegetables, and meat are in desperately short supply, and they hope neighboring countries can extend a helping hand to urgently sell them some of these essential goods.

Otherwise, many elderly and solitary seniors will starve to death.

Anyway, resuming trade, the inspected and disinfected goods are not special foods.

Although their economy has been heavily affected and currency continues to devalue…

At least they were once a developed country with substantial gold reserves, and they can purchase essential goods with a hefty price.

…

The situation in Yincheng is urgent, and other countries are not faring well either.

Especially those with weaker strength or places plagued by poor public order and even armed conflicts.

They lack the power to control the situation, and their medical resources are extremely limited.

Countries without the means to provide regular medical care, let alone to blood-test and distinguish virus infections, how can they prevent and control the epidemic?

Massive isolation and observation requires large spaces, sufficient medical staff, plenty of medical equipment…

To put it bluntly, if you isolate a lot of people, you need to feed them, right?

If they can’t eat enough, how can they be isolated?

Moreover, in regions plagued by perennial warfare and conflict and countries that are already chaotic…

Their technology isn’t advanced, and their industrial strength is weak.

They can’t produce particulate respirators, which turned masks into black market rarities, even more useful than Gold Coins.

So…

The appeals from the weaker countries are even more ‘tragic.’

The people of Yincheng are calling for the resumption of international trade because they’re running out of essential supplies and people are going to starve.

But for them, they lack everything and they have no money.

However, at this critical juncture…

The major powers also have their own troubles!

Countries like Shizhou and Yezhou might be rich in resources, advanced in technology, and have abundant supplies, but they suffer from excessive population mobility.

Every household has cars, even private planes, belonging to a typical land-abundant, sparsely populated place.

Each person is only responsible for their own doorstep, unconcerned about the frost on others’ roofs.

Powerful countries maintain social stability, orderly control over the spread of the epidemic, and at the same time organize medical research, striving to eliminate the Sakuragi Hana virus as soon as possible.

On the other hand, those with weak strength, poor public order, and chaotic regions can only count on their luck.

And because of this, the comprehensive flight bans are causing great suffering to many overseas citizens.

People went to foreign countries to do business, study, or work.

…

A global outcry ensues.

Many countries and regions suspend school and work, turning the online world into a venting ground for abuse and complaints.

Some time ago, someone leaked information and wrote a post claiming Wu Jie was the culprit behind the virus crisis.

But anyone with a bit of common sense would see it as nonsense.

The real culprits deserving to be sliced and deep-fried are the Muto Conglomerate from Yincheng.

“They didn’t research the virus, didn’t release it, where would today’s crisis come from?”

“But at this point, what use is there in harboring resentment?”

By noon,

many people were paying close attention to the Liuli Continent.

Because up till now, Liuli Continent was the firmest.

Aside from international flight bans, everything within the country continued as normal; there were no internet, school, or work shutdowns.

Compared to before, life for the people only meant wearing masks and going out less.

Even when Tianyuan Film and Television City had an outbreak, they quickly moved large numbers of people away for isolation.

So…

What was the new situation with the epidemic in Liuli Continent?

What had become of Bai Fengling, the major star who had posted a tragic farewell video yesterday?

Not only did many foreigners care, but other nations also regarded the situation with great concern.

At exactly twelve o’clock.

Just like yesterday, there was a live broadcast online.

The spokesperson for the news didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the routine announcement of significant issues.

The first was about the epidemic.

By midday, besides Tianyuan Film and Television City, seven other cities had seen suspected cases one after another.

Beyond disinfecting and sterilizing the suspected infection areas, nearly a hundred thousand people underwent large-scale focused isolation and screening.

There were 275 confirmed patients, all centralized at the Tianyuan Medical Center; suspected cases were isolated in medical centers around the area.

The briefing emphasized, “There have been no casualties so far.”

These few words were enough to reassure the family and friends of the more than two hundred patients, and to put at ease the tens of millions of fans of Bai Fengling.

The next topic was the economy.

Affected by the international flight ban, bulk commodities like oil, natural gas, and grains saw imports halt and prices fluctuate greatly.

Other countries also intended to resume trade, especially Yincheng, which was in dire need of a large quantity of living supplies and was perched precariously.

After consultation among nations, trade in supplies was to resume immediately, but would be subject to stringent quarantine inspections; however, personal travel was still not permitted.

Therefore, it was advised to all nations’ peoples, there was absolutely no need to panic buy various supplies, let alone hoard unusually and drive up prices.

Last was development.

Although the Sakuragi Hana virus had caused international disorder and significant economic and trade impact, medical and scientific research was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Research into medication for the virus had made new progress; the public need not worry that the virus would lead to the extinction of mankind.

However, the abrupt cessation of oil imports had caused panic among people as they rushed to fuel up, fearing a surge in prices.

Hence, Liuli Continent had decided to strongly support new energy and advocate for green travel.

Not only by encouraging more power stations and battery exchange stations to be built tax-free and developing high-performance batteries and environmentally friendly materials,

but also by procuring purely electric official vehicles for Tianyuan Green Energy Auto.

…

After the announcement, it was time for the reporters’ questions.

Of course, the reporters were most concerned about the exact condition of Bai Fengling.

Next, whether a new medication could be developed before the patients’ conditions worsened?

Upon their return, would they be subject to a focused isolation and screening for the virus before being allowed entry?

This press conference drew the attention of many people from both inside the country and abroad.

But within the plant area of Tang’s Pharmaceuticals,

Wu Jie had no interest in the press conference; he was more concerned about how to deal with the Detox Pills.

The Security Bureau had borrowed strategic transport aircraft to bring over culture equipment from multiple biological research institutes.

Wu Jie arranged for manpower, with everyone dividing up the work; as of now, the production capacity of the Detox Pills could basically meet domestic demand.

Within two days, all patients could be secretly cured.

By comparison,

according to official reports from Yincheng, they were losing people every minute of every day.

Those who could only be euthanized due to the worsening of their conditions were still in the minority, while those murdered or who had committed suicide were in fact numerous.

If Yincheng knew about the Detox Pills, they would definitely be desperate to buy them!

If they were refused sale, they would surely hate him to the bone, resentment piling up!

Unfortunately…

Due to strict confidentiality, let alone selling, not even a hint of information could be leaked.

To ensure a sufficient and timely supply of Detox Pills, Wu Jie could only personally oversee the production, leaving no time to sleep or rest.

How could he show off now?

How else could he make countless foreigners envy and hate him, and earn energy points in droves?

Luckily, Tan didn’t keep Wu Jie waiting too long.

Two days later, a Special Authorization Order arrived…
