105: Chapter 105 Someone is plotting

The secretary beside him distributed copies of the document to all the high-ranking officials.

Ten minutes later, after all the high-ranking officials had finished reading the material, their brows were tightly furrowed, and some even showed expressions of anger.

Minister Li Zhenfeng slammed the table heavily and angrily said,

"How can such a thing happen! Why are only our Yanxia people infected with the virus! Foreigners working in Yanxia, and even fellow Asians from the Koryo Country and Sakura Country, haven't been infected? There's clearly something wrong here!"

Now everyone suspected that the large-scale virus invasion Yanxia was experiencing was not accidental.

Instead, it was a deliberate act, and this virus was specifically cultivated to target the Yanxia people.

"Changshun, tell us, is there such a possibility?" the Chief asked.

Minister Zheng Changshun frowned, pondered for a moment, and replied,

"Chief, according to this material and the research from the Biochemical Research Institute, we may be under attack from a gene-targeting virus. This is a genetic weapon specifically designed for our Yanxia people, and it's highly likely that someone deliberately released it against us!"

As soon as Minister Zheng Changshun said this, the highest-ranking officials in Yanxia present were all shaken!

Connecting this to the countries with such capabilities, the finger of blame pointed directly at the United States.

In recent months, Yanxia had severely crippled their navy and had replaced the United States as the world's number one superpower.

As the former world hegemon, how could the United States willingly surrender this position?

With the rise of Huanyu Technology, the United States was unable to contend with Yanxia in military strength, and thus resorted to such a despicable and inhumane method.

"Damn it! The United States is too shameless, actually using such a monstrous method!"

"We cannot let the United States succeed. Our military suggests sending troops to the United States homeland and demanding that they provide a cure for the virus."

"Right! The situation is urgent now. This kind of thing could only have been done by the United States. We must act quickly!"

Several generals from the military spoke with righteous indignation. They were all sharp-tongued advocates for threatening the United States with force.

The Chief and several high-ranking cabinet officials were deep in thought. These were the two largest countries in the world.

If they started fighting, it would essentially be a world war.

Finally, the Chief addressed everyone, saying,

"Let's first investigate the truth of this incident. If it is confirmed to be man-made, our Yanxia will certainly not be easy to bully!"

Everyone accepted the order and left with indignation.

...

At the military base, Cao Guangde received an order from Yanjing.

The order instructed the base to implement isolation measures, prevent people from going out freely, and control the entry and exit of daily supplies.

Both personnel and supplies had to be disinfected and checked for viruses.

This was to ensure the safety of the 100,000 people at the base.

Cao Guangde stood on a high platform by the sea at the military base, watching the soldiers training bare-chested on the beach.

They were all strong and healthy, soldiers of Yanxia protecting their homeland.

"This virus, I don't know how many more people will die. Alas, our Yanxia has just risen powerfully thanks to Huanyu Technology, reaching the pinnacle of the world, why are we encountering such a thing again!"

Cao Guangde muttered to himself with great reluctance, and Zhou Wenping, the weapon and equipment design expert beside him, also sighed.

He had previously been at odds with Chen Yu over the Bullet, but now he was also convinced by Huanyu Technology.

"General Cao, Yanjing might make a big move recently. Our military region might be dispatched for a naval battle."

Cao Guangde certainly knew this. As the head of the Southern Military Region, he had already received orders to be ready for a naval battle at any time.

The large amount of supplies the military region was recently receiving was in preparation for war.

"Is it possible that it's related to this virus?" Zhou Wenping asked.

Cao Guangde looked at the boundless sea.

"It is said that this virus only infects our Yanxia people. Neighboring countries, including Asian countries like Koryo Country and Sakura Country, are completely unaffected. Don't you find this very unusual?"

As a top scientist in the military industry, Zhou Wenping did not mean he didn't understand these things.

"I think Yanjing has already discovered the unusual nature of this virus incident, and perhaps there really will be war!"

Cao Guangde nodded.

...

At Modu Film Academy, Chen Jia was isolated in her dormitory.

Her new film, which was being shot, was also halted because many virus carriers were screened out from the crew.

After multiple checks, she was confirmed not to be infected and returned to school.

In the dormitory, a roommate asked Chen Jia curiously,

"Jiajia, I heard that half of your crew members were infected with the new virus. Your resistance is really strong, and your luck is too good! I also heard that once infected with this virus, you will be taken to an isolation facility tens of kilometers away in the suburbs."

Chen Jia was also very curious. The male lead, who often acted opposite her, was infected, yet she had no problems at all.

Suddenly, Chen Jia remembered that her brother had injected her with a gene-enhancing agent not long ago.

Recently, she not only felt her body had improved, her hearing and eyesight were sharp, but she even felt her mind was working exceptionally well.

She could basically memorize those lines after reading them once.

Moreover, she had a new understanding of the deeper meanings expressed in the script, and the director praised her for her high comprehension.

These obvious changes appeared after she was injected with the gene modification fluid her brother gave her.

Could it be that the reason she wasn't infected was because her body had been strengthened, and ordinary viruses could no longer harm her?

It must be. Chen Jia was very certain. Thinking of this, a happy expression appeared on Chen Jia's face.

Her brother was still so good to her. Her brother was the family member who loved her the most!

...

In Chen Yu's hometown, the community where Chen Jianguo and Xiao Shuzhen lived had been locked down.

This was because multiple confirmed cases had been continuously found within the community.

The couple in the villa kept the garden gate tightly closed, fearing someone might break in.

"Jianguo, is this the coronavirus again?"

Chen Jianguo frowned and said,

"The officials said this time is different from the last. This time the incubation period is longer. They told us to stay at home and not run around if there's nothing to do."

These past few days, doctors in full, tightly sealed hazmat suits came door-to-door daily to conduct virus screenings.

Chen Jianguo and Xiao Shuzhen's neighbors, a whole family, were found to be carrying the virus and were taken away for isolation.

Just two days ago, they were still playing mahjong with their neighbors.

The old couple initially thought they would also be infected, but they felt great and passed every check.

"Jianguo, do you think the reason we weren't infected is because of that gene-enhancing agent our son injected us with?"

Chen Jianguo nodded. Ever since he and his wife were injected with the enhancing agent,

Not only did they look decades younger, but all aspects of their physical condition improved significantly.

Even in that regard, Chen Jianguo felt he was even more vigorous than when he was young.

Coupled with his wife also looking younger, the couple almost had sex every day.

Chen Yu estimated that soon, he might have a younger brother or sister.

"It should be the agent our son injected us with, which boosted our immunity. This virus has no effect on us!"

Xiao Shuzhen was reassured by her husband's affirmation.

...

Another two days passed.

In the highest conference room in Yanjing,

The Chief looked at the research report from the Biochemical Research Institute with a serious and angry expression.
