"Hello everyone, I am Belgrills. I'm sure you all remember the recent incident in Kapa City on June 17th, and the terrifying Zombies that have left many in fear. Now, whether it's my luck or misfortune, I found myself truly face-to-face with these horrifying creatures while transferring at the airport.
Although these Zombies are dangerous, once you understand their habits through various media, you'll find that they can actually be dealt with quite easily. I will now demonstrate this to you." The man with dark brown hair, a White Man, spoke softly in front of the camera while waiting for his flight at Pudong Airport.
At that moment, Pudong Airport was completely sealed off. A giant passenger plane had skidded off the runway, half crashing into the terminal. The impact had destroyed the airport's Signal Base Station, cutting off all communication with the outside world. The once crowded waiting area was now filled with chaos and slaughter.
Belgrills and his two dedicated cameramen were hiding in a secluded corner, using overturned chairs to block most of their view.
"Although Zombies carry deadly viruses, their clumsy movements are actually easier to handle than those of a venomous snake. The only thing to be cautious about is their overwhelming numbers. Now, let's set out and get up close with these mysterious beings."
After finishing his statement, he cautiously made his way out. Behind him, an Asian couple exchanged amused glances before following their somewhat reckless employer outside, their camera faithfully recording the surrounding situation.
"Anyone experiencing fever or dizziness should come here for a Vaccine injection. Additionally, those who are weak or ill, as well as women, children, and the elderly, are encouraged to get vaccinated," announced a bus from a nearby hospital escorted by heavily armed police as it arrived at the International Anime Expo venue.
Upon hearing about the Vaccine's availability, the crowd surged forward like a frenzy. If it weren't for the armed police firing warning shots, a stampede would likely have ensued.
Fear and panic are contagious; even those with stable minds can easily be influenced by the emotions of others in such an environment.
"Please remember! Due to the characteristics of the H Virus, there are significant flaws in the Vaccine itself. Each vaccination lasts only three hours! Moreover, once you choose to receive the Vaccine, your resistance to airborne infections will be greatly weakened. In other words, if you get vaccinated and later encounter an area with H Virus airborne transmission without timely booster shots, you will face a high risk of infection!" The announcement finally revealed the side effects of the Vaccine amidst the chaotic crowd.
Hearing this side effect announcement, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but sigh. This wasn't due to an imperfection in the Vaccine but rather because of how rapidly the H Virus mutates.
The emergence of this Vaccine is uncertain in its benefits; while it ensures that recipients won't be infected in the short term, its side effects are indeed too pronounced. In his memory of several later virus outbreaks, he wondered if they were related to this type of Vaccine.
Although the production of this Vaccine is significantly higher than that of more advanced and rarer Antibodies, its quantity is still limited. Currently, there aren't many people getting vaccinated; however, once more individuals start receiving it later on, production will not be able to meet the demand for continuous vaccinations.
Furthermore, this Vaccine has a shelf life of only one month from production to administration, fundamentally eliminating any possibility of stockpiling.
After such alarming side effects were announced, the frenzied crowd began to calm down somewhat. In front of several medical vehicles forming a convoy, a line that could barely be considered orderly finally started to emerge.
Many people were inquiring about the situation from the armed police at Beside, asking when they would be able to leave.
"Please remain calm, citizens. The air transmission capability of the H Virus is not strong. Currently, the most dangerous area is only Pudong Airport. The establishment of three Quarantine Zones is merely a precaution to prevent any potential leakage of the virus. We hope everyone can cooperate," a police car continuously broadcasting announcements on the street provided some reassurance to the crowd.
What put them at ease was that, according to reports, the Shanghai Mayor had personally arrived at the site of the Second Quarantine Zone to oversee operations. The presence of someone in a high position indicated that this area was at least relatively safe, which undoubtedly served as a sedative for those in quarantine.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I remember when ** happened, my neighbor was quarantined and I was fine. This virus doesn’t spread easily through the air; there’s definitely no problem. If anyone feels unwell, we can just get the Vaccine," one person reassured another.
"Right, right, it’s all good."
As the situation gradually stabilized, many began to comfort each other.
"Mayor, isn’t it enough to stay in the second zone? There’s still some risk near the first quarantine line," a well-dressed female secretary in a black sedan remarked to a middle-aged man whose expression was equally grim.
"Since we’ve already been vaccinated, we don’t need to worry about airborne transmission. It’s fine. The media from around the world is focusing on this place. Not only do I want to resolve this situation perfectly, but I also want them to know that once we, the Chinese Empire, get serious, our efficiency is unmatched by any other country.
Although this disaster will have a significant impact on Shanghai, it could also be an opportunity to showcase ourselves. Even a virus that completely devastated Kapa City cannot harm us. Regardless, we must strictly control the situation within Pudong Airport!" After rubbing his temples, the man exuded an aura of authority as he spoke hoarsely.
"At times like this, who cares about anything else? Saving lives is what matters! We’re so close; we should temporarily set aside our prejudices!" In an abandoned factory in Z City, Liu Lianyue slammed her hand on the table and stood up loudly. Her blouse strained against her chest as she stood up, creating an alluring ripple.
At this moment, there were few seated individuals; most were standing. Liu Lianyue sitting here indicated her status was not low.
"We may set aside our prejudices, but the Reform Party will not! If they decide to make things difficult later on, our soldiers could face total annihilation! Even if we manage to rescue them successfully, who can guarantee they won’t turn against our people afterward? It’s completely thankless work; let’s not forget that we Radicals are labeled as their illegal organization!" Another seated man countered without holding back.
"Is your mind only filled with your own interests? Don’t forget our party charter! If you don’t send anyone, I’ll take people myself! Hmph!" Grabbing her coat from a nearby chair, Liu Lianyue left without looking back, followed by those who had been standing behind her.
"Team Leader, isn't it a bit too harsh to be at odds with them? How about reporting this to Leader?" The taxi driver, known as Baldy, who had met Yang Xiaoyou once, gently suggested.
"It's too late for that now. We should concentrate all available forces to rescue the people. The time on the road depends on you," Liu Lianyue said decisively, adjusting her cap.
"By the way, Abao, you stay here and keep an eye on any news and movements. Also, there will be a member I recommended joining tonight; please help take care of that." She seemed to remember something and spoke to a somewhat rugged man.
Accompanied by Feng Lin in a Bear Costume, they arrived under a giant LCD screen in a shopping mall. Yang Xiaoyou gazed at the information displayed above, lost in thought.
At this moment, the entire Pudong District's Signal Base Station was temporarily cut off; ordinary phones could not connect internally or externally. However, it wasn't as thorough as what happened in Kapa City. There was no interference with the Signal, and satellite communications remained unaffected.
The large Screen was broadcasting live footage of the situation inside the Quarantine Zone, along with some Official data.
The screen even showed several shots from its own camera, seemingly trying to demonstrate that the situation inside the second section of the Quarantine Zone was relatively stable.
"Currently trapped among the crowd at Pudong International Airport are the British Second Secretary of State for Finance, George Osborne, and his accompanying personnel. However, due to the need for a large number of personnel to maintain order in the quarantine area and the environmental factors within the airport itself, the number of people able to carry out rescue operations has remained limited. Because of the impact during the plane crash, both the internal monitoring systems and the airport's Signal Base Station have collapsed, making it difficult to accurately locate Survivors, which poses significant challenges for rescue efforts."
Messages resembling text alerts continuously flashed across the bottom of the Screen. Upon seeing one particular message, Yang Xiaoyou felt her pupils constrict involuntarily.
It seemed she had no choice but to understand the situation; this fellow could not die here; otherwise, it would be a huge problem.
