Chapter 561 - 430: Omen?
"Zhao, a genius like you should join my department. I guarantee the benefits you’ll enjoy will be ten times what you have now."Dr. William spoke again.
As an experienced scientist, he deeply understood that, throughout history, critical scientific and technological advancements have been entirely the work of a very few scientists. Most scientists merely play supportive roles.
Therefore, the United States places special importance on scientific geniuses.
"Dr. William, while science has no borders, scientists belong to their own countries."
Zhao Heng spoke slowly. His expertise was in biology and medicine. In these fields, there was no necessity to go abroad to make full use of his skills, so he had no intention of going overseas.
"Zhao, you’re still young. When you reach my age, you’ll understand some things."
Dr. William said meaningfully. He wasn’t originally from the United States but came from the former Bear Country. His story was so intricate that it could be made into several movies.
Coming out of the tent and reaching his workplace, just as he put on his lab coat, Professor Hu suddenly spoke with a hint of concern to Zhao Heng: "Young Zhao, don’t be swayed by that old fellow’s words. With your capabilities, you are highly valued domestically and have a bright future."
In terms of poaching talents, the United States can be said to be the world leader, and they use open strategies. Even if some people don’t care about high benefits, the so-called "freedom" attracts a lot of geniuses every year.
"Professor, I know where my roots are."
Zhao Heng replied.
Just as they were about to start work, a shrill and piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the camp.
A biological hazard alarm, and it was the highest level of biological hazard alarm!
Upon hearing it, Zhao Heng knew something major had occurred.
"Let’s go out and see."
Professor Hu and Zhao Heng exchanged a look and exited the tent.
As soon as Zhao Heng stepped out, he saw armed helicopters continuously flying across the sky and many armed personnel outside the camp, seemingly in a state of emergency evacuation.
Seeing this formation, Professor Hu immediately grabbed Zhao Heng and found Dr. William in the midst of the chaos.
Just as Professor Hu was about to ask what was going on, Dr. William hurriedly left, and Zhao Heng and Professor Hu were quickly taken out of the camp.
Even on the flight back home, Zhao Heng was still in a daze. He had only been there for two days, and without doing anything, they were evacuated?
At this time, the person responsible for evacuating Zhao Heng and Professor Hu sat down opposite them and slowly said, "Professor Hu, Director Zhao, the situation has changed. A large-scale infection has broken out in South Africa, so given the current circumstances, we had to evacuate first."
"What’s going on?"
Professor Hu, unable to remain calm, hurriedly asked.
Blood Cry Ebola is not an ordinary flu. If it breaks out, it would cause massive casualties.
"The World Health Organization’s intelligence was wrong. The original outbreak of Blood Cry Ebola was in South Africa. The infection in New Guinea was only because an infected person from South Africa traveled there and spread it."
The person in charge sighed and said.
"This is..."
Zhao Heng and Professor Hu couldn’t help but look at each other. They originally thought they were at the secondary line, but they were directly in the poisonous nest. Fortunately, the higher-ups were decisive and evacuated the research personnel immediately upon hearing the news.
This is quite normal because, as of now, Blood Cry Ebola is incurable; once infected, it’s almost like waiting for death.
"Professor Hu, Director Zhao, do you know how much you understood about this Blood Cry Ebola during your days at the camp?"
The person in charge asked with a glimmer of hope.
Though aware that Professor Hu and Zhao Heng hadn’t entered the core research layer, the person in charge still held some hope, as the higher authorities urgently needed to understand the information regarding Blood Cry Ebola.
"I’m sorry, we were only responsible for peripheral work this time. We couldn’t access the core area."
Professor Hu said with some regret.
"I managed to gather some information."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and said.
"Oh? Please tell us, Director Zhao."
Originally disappointed by Professor Hu’s words, the person in charge’s eyes lit up.
"The group leader, Dr. William, seems to be acquainted with scientists from the Bear Country. I checked, and the scientists there specialize in viral genetic engineering. Therefore, the fact that Dr. William was the representative sent by the United States is clear in its purpose."
Zhao Heng spoke slowly.
"Oh? Is that so?"
The person in charge’s eyes lit up. Inside the camp, only Zhao Heng and Professor Hu had been able to enter. The intelligence personnel couldn’t get in, so relevant information was unclear.
Sometimes, on intelligence matters, knowing just one key piece of information can infer many things.
"Yes, the scientists from the Bear Country indeed know this Dr. William. It seems they were colleagues before."
Professor Hu nodded in agreement.
"I understand. This information is very crucial. Thank you."
The person in charge said happily. It was enough to confirm the possibility of human traces in Blood Cry Ebola.
The next day.
At eleven o’clock at night.
After arriving at the airport, Zhao Heng got off the plane and returned home.
When he opened the door, Zhao Heng saw Xu Man Ni and Xu Hongdou sitting on the sofa, seemingly not yet asleep.
