Chapter 45 Xia Dan 3-1
"Pampas has launched an S-level epidemic prevention plan." Xia Dan said in a deep voice: "The course of action of the deceased has also been confirmed, but the source and location of infection have not yet been confirmed, nor can it be confirmed whether it is an isolated case. There are still a large number of cases. The analytical and statistical work is not done..."
The atmosphere in the conference room was quiet.Most of the directors of Gruina's laboratory are present, and there are holographic projections of the heads of many relevant institutions on the seats-the physical distance is too far, and the meeting can only be participated in this way.Everyone nodded and recorded.
Xia Dan is not a long-winded person.She said as briefly as possible: "I have sent the detailed content to everyone here. We may be facing a biochemical crisis..."
The meeting ended quickly, and the projections on the seats disappeared.The heads of the various laboratories walked away quickly with solemn expressions.
Gruina-6 is full of various life science laboratories.No one knows better than the researchers here what the emergence of Fewa virus means.
Xia Dan turned off the screen and terminal, ready to go back to the laboratory.Too much work needs to be done.This is the first time Qilian has obtained a sample of Fewa virus that has not been inactivated.Because of this sample, the entire Gruina-6 was on the verge of a formidable enemy, and all the transport vehicles carrying the samples were destroyed. The level [-] laboratory where the test was carried out at that time was evacuated and closed in an emergency, and all relevant personnel were isolated.The lab is currently being sanitized, after which it may close permanently.The virus samples have been shipped directly to the seventh-level laboratory.
Level seven, the highest security level, any intelligent life is not allowed to come into contact with the internal samples.Accompanying that virus sample is only machinery and artificial intelligence.Researchers can only conduct experimental operations externally through programs and machines.Very troublesome, but safe enough.
As one of the numerous deputy directors of the Hengyun Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, Xia Dan is in charge of No. 009 Experimental Area of Life Sciences.This area does not have a level [-] lab, but contains two level [-] labs - the highest level a researcher can enter.However, because the samples were discovered and confirmed in the fifth-level laboratory, Xia Dan is still responsible for signing and issuing the relevant report content.
There are twelve fifth-level laboratories in the 009 experimental area. Xia Dan is very glad that he and his students were not in the laboratory where the specimen testing was carried out at that time-otherwise everyone will be locked in the quarantine area. Know when it will be released.
She put on her protective coat and was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by the director, Silas.
Silas was much older than Chardin, and his hair was already half white.But he still looks as strong and tall as a young alpha.
When Xia Dan was a baby, he had already worked in Gruina's sixth-level laboratory and served as the general director of Area 011.So for Xia Dan, he is the real senior.Xia Dan has always respected him.
She stopped and said politely, "Boss."
Silas nodded at her: "People from the medical and health department contacted me. Since no second case of virus infection has been reported so far, they plan to lift the alert in the near future."
Xia Dan was not surprised.Excessively strict inspections will increase the burden on social operations, so all kinds of early warnings have time limits.It's just that Fewa virus is too special.Although he has never seen an infected person with his own eyes, based on the available information, he cannot be too vigilant about this virus.After all, it was a virus that was to be locked up in a level seven laboratory.
"The transmission model has not been confirmed." Xia Dan said directly: "The source of infection has not been confirmed either. Out of prudent considerations, I think it is wiser to keep the warning status, at least wait until these two points are confirmed, and then cancel the warning Or the decision to upgrade the warning. Maybe the final conclusion is that we are overly worried—that is something to be thankful for." She added: "The other thing is to remind the medical department to conduct science education to the public, and everyone should be aware of this. risk exists."
Silas shook his head: "The other party thinks that it is inappropriate to rush to release information before many things have been confirmed. Panic may be more deadly than the virus itself. Of course, propaganda and the like are not our job. I read the submission According to the report, there is no effective treatment for the virus yet, is there?"
Xia Dan said helplessly: "Obviously, this will take time. Because of this accident, there is a gap in the experimental funds in District 009. Many projects we are working on have been suspended."
"How long will it take?"
Xia Dan was silent for a while, and said honestly: "I don't know. Optimistically, it will take... the cycle of a big project. It may be 5 standard years, or it may be longer than this. You know, from the dawn of the experiment, to It always takes a long time for scientific research results to be applied. There is also the problem of funding..."
Silas sighed: "If that's the case, the higher-ups hope to temporarily shelve this project. We have many more urgent things to do..."
Xia Dan was a little surprised: "But, isn't this a very important matter? It appeared, the legendary virus, and it is now in our experimental area. We found a case. According to the laws of communication, it may have It's starting to spread somewhere...it's pretty serious, everyone knows..."
"Do we have new infections as evidence?"
"Not yet...but..."
"There are isolated cases, and then there are no follow-up findings. There are many similar cases in other microbial cases."
"But those rare microorganisms will not cause such serious consequences as Fewa virus. We have done infection experiments with biological models, and it can easily infect human cells, and even not only humans..."
"Submitting a report requires evidence." Silas said helplessly: "We are a scientific research institution, remember? We don't just deal with experiments."
Xia Dan took a deep breath: "Sorry, I didn't target you..."
"I know, I know." Silas said with understanding: "I am also a scientific researcher. Ms. Luoxi, I am 97 years old this year. Since I came here at the age of 35, I have experienced many disasters that can be called disasters. Believe me, Fewa virus is nothing. The worst things happen in places we don't even think about. If we are vigilant in the first place, there is a 99% chance that we will be safe. So please be optimistic Some." He patted Xia Dan on the shoulder: "You haven't submitted the progress of several large-scale projects before District 009 to me. I have to prepare materials for next year's funding application. Go back and sleep, and then eat something Come on, you look tired."
After 15 standard hours, Xia Dan returned to his residence on the edge of Area 008.
Enter the corridor, take off your clothes, monitor your whole body by the machine, then go directly to the bathroom for disinfection and shower, and finally come out and change into uniform home clothes.The glass sliding door opened, and Xia Dan walked into the spacious and bright dormitory, and sat down on the soft chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The robot brought black tea and a light meal, and she took a sip of the tea.The sky outside the window is bright, the buildings in the living area are patchwork, beautiful and orderly, and the colors are almost only blue and white.There are a few children playing on the lawn of the small park, and the robot looks after them—all of them are the children of scientific researchers here.Gruina had trouble getting in and out, and some researchers simply made their home here.Everything looked the same as before.
Xia Dan put down the teacup wearily.
She communicated in many ways on the way back.Silas probably took her mood into consideration and spoke more tactfully.And the meaning conveyed above is already very clear-unless new cases of infection are discovered, this matter is basically over here.That's why the higher-ups urged Xia Dan to report today.At this point, the sample will become a code in the database, waiting for a researcher who is free and interested in it, and has enough funds to study it.
The only thing she can do now is to find a way to confirm the infection site and source as soon as possible.But this happens to be the most difficult.
The deceased was a merchant.Has been active in the three-way zone restricted by the eighth hexagram.There are quite a few such people in the Milky Way, but almost all of them belong to the marginalized groups in the mainstream society.Their common feature is that their social relationships are complex—the Milky Way is so big, you don’t know who or what they have come into contact with.In fact, anything is possible.
Worst of all, both the man's remains and the aircraft he piloted have been destroyed.
For now, lab analysts can only draw conclusions based on guesswork and extrapolation.Such conclusions are of little value.
While Xia Dan was bowing his head in thought, the communication rang—it was Wen De.
"I'm here to send you the student's report card, and I need you to sign here... Oh my god, your complexion is so bad, how long have you not slept?"
Xia Dan's long hair was loose behind her, and she stroked it absently: "Three or four days. There is a report to be made. It doesn't matter, I'm just not in a good mood."
She frantically signed on the corner of the floating screen: "How is the school?"
"Everything is normal." Wende looked at her: "Some people skipped classes, some failed, and some got full marks—it's about the same every year." He comforted: "I know what you're worried about, virus. But I want to tell the truth ——Your worries may not come from the Fewa virus itself, but from the stressful environment you live in. If I knew there was a time bomb, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well even if I was in the next room. But in Hengyun, everyone I didn't take this matter too seriously. After all, Gruina's management has always been strict. As long as you don't want to, no atom can fly out of there, right? Everyone will become nervous when they arrive in Gruina Xixi, the environment there makes people tense.”
"I think……"
"Listen to me first. It's not the first day that Fewa virus was discovered. Not only one civilization has preserved its strain. Some of them have perished, but the demise cannot be completely attributed to this small virus .I helped you find a lot of information about its previous outbreaks, I hope you have read it. Oh, and I even found a case where the virus failed to spread."
"I've seen it." Xia Dan sighed: "Isolate the infected people completely in an area, and then use nuclear weapons to clear that area. The virus is gone, and life is also gone." She mocked: "It's really effective. "
Wen De said rationally: "I'm not talking about that data. I'm talking about another one. The historical data from the Allen galaxy. The people of Allen live alone every day, and each individual has a large territory. The virus used to be in Happened there but didn't turn into a massive epidemic like the cases in other galaxies.Because the people of Aran were too far away from each other.The virus killed one infected person and didn't find new ones within a certain period of time , then it dies by itself. Conservatively speaking, 30 standard days is enough for it to completely inactivate in ordinary environments. Then it is not so terrible. Its survivability is not particularly strong. Allen and The living environment of humans is quite similar, and that civilization still exists in their home galaxy, although it has no contact with humans."
The physical distance between Allen and Qilian is nearly 9 light years, and there is no communication line between the two places.Theoretically speaking, at least in Xia Dan's life, there is no way to see a live Alan.The information comes from the ring network, and other civilizations who have communicated with them have confirmed the authenticity of the information.
Xia Dan opened the floating screen for work and found the document.The data is very comprehensive, including the personal information of the infected person, the time of infection and so on.The source of the infection was a local animal that the Alen people kept as pets.But these animals were clearly not the original hosts of the virus.
"If no new cases are found within 45 standard days, there is no need to worry. From the data we have obtained, the incubation period of the virus is only about 5 standard days for any race." Wind comforted: "Allen People confirmed this. Take it easy. You are not the only one doing microbiology research in Gruina, and your major is not in microbiology communication. Sometimes you have to learn to turn down jobs appropriately, instead of seeing every job. dash forward."
Xia Dan put down the information and sighed: "You are right. But I am the person in charge of District 009, and the virus was detected and confirmed in the area I am in charge of. I have to do what I should do." , she rarely felt a little depressed.
Doing research is not a one-person job.Xia Dan's career has always been smooth sailing in the eyes of outsiders.She has many titles and administrative positions hanging around her.In addition to being the deputy director of the institute, Xia Dan is also the leader of the immunology discipline group.The reason for accepting these positions is that immunology is an important part of artificial womb research.
However, the current situation is completely different from expectations.In the experimental area she manages, in addition to completing many routine immunology projects, she is also responsible for researching some pathogenic microorganisms to humans and developing vaccines against them.Because the disciplines are related, it is also a matter of course to undertake a part of the detection and confirmation of microbial samples.In addition, the subject group also cooperates with many other subject groups in joint projects.
In the Xingyuan Era, countless planets left human footprints, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of newly discovered lives.Among them, microbiology and immunology have always been the focus of life science research - going to an alien field, who knows what terrible things will be brought back by accident.Plagues and species invasions enough to wipe out entire planets abound in the human history of the Galactic Age.
In this case, related disciplines become important.The laboratory should conduct a large number of analyzes based on the data and cases reported by various places to determine potential risks and provide countermeasures.There are too many types of microorganisms, and the environment of each planet will have different effects on the human immune system.Mutation and evolution happen all the time. Even with artificial intelligence assisting in handling most of the work, the workload of researchers is still amazing.
Xia Dan feels helpless about this, but she has no right to make adjustments to her work tasks.Because the work on microbial infection is an important source of funding for the laboratory.Medical institutions and pharmaceutical factories will purchase vaccine patents, and the government will also allocate subsidies according to circumstances.
These funds seem to be rich, but in fact it is difficult to stay on the books for too long-the laboratory seems to be a bottomless pit that devours money.
Xia Dan took one last look at the information about Fewa virus, and then closed the page.
She ate the beef sandwich slowly, and Wende chatted nonchalantly for a while about things other than work.May was on leave, and her husband followed suit.Originally, the season for kiwi fruits to go on the market has come, but this year they are completely absent from the market.It is said that the traffic routes transported in previous years were affected by the war.
Only then did Xia Dan remember that there was still war.She seemed to have been out of touch with real life for a long time.Call out the news at random, it is the news of taking back the Golden Stone Fortress.Xia Dan squinted his eyes and leaned over to look at the photo on the front page, thinking that the word "take back" was just a rhetorical whitewash - the Golden Stone Fortress looked like a bottle cap that had been trampled to pieces.It seems that the pirates have done a lot of harm there.
"...A special task force of the United Fleet completed an almost impossible combat mission under extremely difficult and dangerous conditions. It won more with less and severely damaged the enemy... I will be rewarded..." Xia Dan read the news and sighed: "I don't know What a great commander. What a pity, he seems to have a boss who is not very bright."
She asked the robot to take another sandwich, and swipe her finger on the floating screen: "It seems that there is support behind the temple this time. Weapons and other things are much more advanced than expected. This is a bit troublesome."
"But you don't look very worried." Wende asked curiously.
"After all, fighting pirates is nothing new." Xia Dan sighed, and said to himself: "Even their religious theories are nothing new. Let me think, maybe Stella is behind it? Or maybe Anson? Ober?"
"Our home galaxy is more than 1 light-years away from you!" Wind protested.
"Oh yes. I'm sorry, it's just a random guess." Xia Dan picked up the sandwich handed over by the robot: "Actually, there is still a possibility, although it sounds very unlikely..."
"what?"
"Qilian directed this war by itself."
"Why?" Wende asked puzzled, "I think you are probably really tired and stupid."
Xia Dan shrugged and laughed at himself: "It's just an unfounded conjecture. My father liked to think about problems from various absurd angles during his lifetime. This may have something to do with his work experience." She looked lonely and bit Sandwiches in one bite.
"By the way, there is news." Wende said while applying moisturizing gel to himself with his tentacles, "They captured a leader of the Temple organization, and found an effective anti-Siva virus on his starship." drug……"
Xia Dan choked: "What?"
"Well, the samples should be sent to you soon."
Fewa virus and Shiva virus are viruses of the same family, and there are many similarities in shape and structure.The only difference is that Shiva virus is slightly milder than Fewa virus - it is only 80% fatal.
80%.That number is actually still surprisingly high.Xia Dan felt a long-lost excitement: "Is the news confirmed?"
"Basically confirmed. But the journey is far away, maybe you have to wait patiently for a few days."
Xia Dan showed a smile: "This is the best news I heard today."
"Come on, it's not an effective drug for Fewa virus."
"At least it represents hope—a possible direction for us who are groping in the dark." Xia Dan said happily: "I'm going to see my students."
"I thought you'd rest first."
"I've rested. I took a nap on the way back." Xia Dan stuffed the rest of the sandwich into his mouth and wiped his hands: "Say hello to May for me."
"I will." Wende waved his tentacles: "We'll talk when we have time."
Xia Dan changed his clothes and left his residence.
The students' temporary accommodation is in the same building, a dormitory.It is said that it is a dormitory, but in fact, in the big suite, everyone has a small room that belongs to them.
Because of this accident, the original training plan was suspended.And Gruina is currently under control.Several newcomers had nowhere to go but stayed in the living quarters.Xia Dan assigned them a bunch of papers and homework.
Now it's time to check it out.
The building's access is divided into three categories.The entry and exit passages are one-way.After entering the channel, a medical examination, disinfection and shower are required to ensure that no deadly microorganisms are carried before entering the building; and only a medical examination is required when going out.
The third type is the passage inside the building, which is not directly connected with the other two types of passages.
Xia Dan walked towards the dormitory from the internal passage, and heard Hansen angrily say in Tiamat from a distance: "...I feel that we have been cheated, and you all feel the same. She only knows to let us do homework , Are you treating us like children... That vicious old woman."
"Wicked old woman" is the old saying in Tiamat.
Xia Dan raised his eyebrows and stopped.
"What did you say?" Felix hesitated, "The last sentence... the translator didn't translate it."
"In short, she was just lucky and got some results. But she didn't do those results alone." Hansen continued to use the old saying.
Youni hesitated and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I don't think it's good for you to talk about the professor behind his back like this."
"You can understand?"
"I've studied a little linguistics..."
"But it's useless if you understand it." Hansen said indifferently: "You can't be recognized by the upper class of Tiamat just by being able to speak a few beautiful ancient Chinese."
"I never planned to go to Tiamat in my life." Youni said angrily, "This is just a course I taught in Caliga."
"Oh whatever you want. Betas are always like this, aren't they? They are trying their best behind the scenes to get recognition, but they always pretend that they haven't put in too much effort. This way others will think that you are actually very good... I don't want to hit you, from a statistical point of view, the probability of beta being judged as a social elite is very low."
"You are simply unreasonable!"
"Okay." Ying comforted: "Han Sen is just in a bad mood. Han Sen, I know that wasn't your intention, you were just a little irritated by Ivie's pheromone, right? I also feel a little bit affected influence."
"Fortunately, he went back to the house." Felix said sullenly, "It's really bad, why didn't he take the inhibitor."
"He ate." Youni said angrily, "He's already trying very hard not to affect you."
"A married omega should stay with his partner. It's immoral to influence others like this." Felix complained.
"Ying? What's wrong with you?"
"Uh, I think I should go take a suppressant."
"Actually, if you need it, I'm happy to help. After all, everyone has nothing to do here. There's no rush to hand in homework."
"Not yet." Ying whispered, "Thank you for your kindness."
"Do you need me to help you get something?" Youni asked with concern.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Light footsteps sounded, and the two left together.
"You shouldn't ask him that directly." Felix said helplessly, "You can privately..."
"I just like seeing her blushing." Hansen said happily, "She's so cute, isn't she. Especially compared to that omega that smells of wet wood. Well, here's something good to show you."
"What? Oh, my God, is there a new Luster movie? Why is there only a little bit of it?"
"Because the feature film hasn't been released yet, this is just a preview. It's a pity, it will take a long time. The theme of this issue is "Hunting"..."
Moans sounded.
Xia Dan couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the door and walked in.
The floating screen was enlarged, and she saw a black-haired omega standing on the sand with its back to the camera, the clothes fell off the person's shoulders, and the tall alpha on the opposite side took it into his arms, but the picture only reached the alpha's chest .
The figures in the camera's field of view are beautiful.That image is both beautiful and obscene, and it's clear what happens next.
But that scene disappeared immediately, and the next scene was the front faces of other omega, and the logo of the Last family.
Xia Dan rushed over and violently dragged the scene to the very beginning.
Nothing, that shot was just a flash.
The undressed black-haired omega couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman from the back.
Xia Dan took a step back slowly and calmed down.
Holly was dead.Her brother was 19 when he died.The last time Xia Dan saw him in person, he was a child.
She said coldly in the ancient Tiamat saying: "If you have any problems, go to the honey house to solve them. Playing such things in public places is a sign of lack of education, Mr. Hansen Grani."
The atmosphere in the conference room was quiet.Most of the directors of Gruina's laboratory are present, and there are holographic projections of the heads of many relevant institutions on the seats-the physical distance is too far, and the meeting can only be participated in this way.Everyone nodded and recorded.
Xia Dan is not a long-winded person.She said as briefly as possible: "I have sent the detailed content to everyone here. We may be facing a biochemical crisis..."

After 15 standard hours, Xia Dan returned to his residence on the edge of Area 008.
Enter the corridor, take off your clothes, monitor your whole body by the machine, then go directly to the bathroom for disinfection and shower, and finally come out and change into uniform home clothes.The glass sliding door opened, and Xia Dan walked into the spacious and bright dormitory, and sat down on the soft chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The robot brought black tea and a light meal, and she took a sip of the tea.The sky outside the window is bright, the buildings in the living area are patchwork, beautiful and orderly, and the colors are almost only blue and white.There are a few children playing on the lawn of the small park, and the robot looks after them—all of them are the children of scientific researchers here.Gruina had trouble getting in and out, and some researchers simply made their home here.Everything looked the same as before.
Xia Dan put down the teacup wearily.

Wen De said rationally: "I'm not talking about that data. I'm talking about another one. The historical data from the Allen galaxy. The people of Allen live alone every day, and each individual has a large territory. The virus used to be in Happened there but didn't turn into a massive epidemic like the cases in other galaxies.Because the people of Aran were too far away from each other.The virus killed one infected person and didn't find new ones within a certain period of time , then it dies by itself. Conservatively speaking, 30 standard days is enough for it to completely inactivate in ordinary environments. Then it is not so terrible. Its survivability is not particularly strong. Allen and The living environment of humans is quite similar, and that civilization still exists in their home galaxy, although it has no contact with humans."
The physical distance between Allen and Qilian is nearly 9 light years, and there is no communication line between the two places.Theoretically speaking, at least in Xia Dan's life, there is no way to see a live Alan.The information comes from the ring network, and other civilizations who have communicated with them have confirmed the authenticity of the information.
Xia Dan opened the floating screen for work and found the document.The data is very comprehensive, including the personal information of the infected person, the time of infection and so on.The source of the infection was a local animal that the Alen people kept as pets.But these animals were clearly not the original hosts of the virus.
"If no new cases are found within 45 standard days, there is no need to worry. From the data we have obtained, the incubation period of the virus is only about 5 standard days for any race." Wind comforted: "Allen People confirmed this. Take it easy. You are not the only one doing microbiology research in Gruina, and your major is not in microbiology communication. Sometimes you have to learn to turn down jobs appropriately, instead of seeing every job. dash forward."
Xia Dan put down the information and sighed: "You are right. But I am the person in charge of District 009, and the virus was detected and confirmed in the area I am in charge of. I have to do what I should do." , she rarely felt a little depressed.
Doing research is not a one-person job.Xia Dan's career has always been smooth sailing in the eyes of outsiders.She has many titles and administrative positions hanging around her.In addition to being the deputy director of the institute, Xia Dan is also the leader of the immunology discipline group.The reason for accepting these positions is that immunology is an important part of artificial womb research.
However, the current situation is completely different from expectations.In the experimental area she manages, in addition to completing many routine immunology projects, she is also responsible for researching some pathogenic microorganisms to humans and developing vaccines against them.Because the disciplines are related, it is also a matter of course to undertake a part of the detection and confirmation of microbial samples.In addition, the subject group also cooperates with many other subject groups in joint projects.
In the Xingyuan Era, countless planets left human footprints, resulting in an explosive growth in the number of newly discovered lives.Among them, microbiology and immunology have always been the focus of life science research - going to an alien field, who knows what terrible things will be brought back by accident.Plagues and species invasions enough to wipe out entire planets abound in the human history of the Galactic Age.
In this case, related disciplines become important.The laboratory should conduct a large number of analyzes based on the data and cases reported by various places to determine potential risks and provide countermeasures.There are too many types of microorganisms, and the environment of each planet will have different effects on the human immune system.Mutation and evolution happen all the time. Even with artificial intelligence assisting in handling most of the work, the workload of researchers is still amazing.
Xia Dan feels helpless about this, but she has no right to make adjustments to her work tasks.Because the work on microbial infection is an important source of funding for the laboratory.Medical institutions and pharmaceutical factories will purchase vaccine patents, and the government will also allocate subsidies according to circumstances.
These funds seem to be rich, but in fact it is difficult to stay on the books for too long-the laboratory seems to be a bottomless pit that devours money.
Xia Dan took one last look at the information about Fewa virus, and then closed the page.
She ate the beef sandwich slowly, and Wende chatted nonchalantly for a while about things other than work.May was on leave, and her husband followed suit.Originally, the season for kiwi fruits to go on the market has come, but this year they are completely absent from the market.It is said that the traffic routes transported in previous years were affected by the war.
Only then did Xia Dan remember that there was still war.She seemed to have been out of touch with real life for a long time.Call out the news at random, it is the news of taking back the Golden Stone Fortress.Xia Dan squinted his eyes and leaned over to look at the photo on the front page, thinking that the word "take back" was just a rhetorical whitewash - the Golden Stone Fortress looked like a bottle cap that had been trampled to pieces.It seems that the pirates have done a lot of harm there.
"...A special task force of the United Fleet completed an almost impossible combat mission under extremely difficult and dangerous conditions. It won more with less and severely damaged the enemy... I will be rewarded..." Xia Dan read the news and sighed: "I don't know What a great commander. What a pity, he seems to have a boss who is not very bright."
She asked the robot to take another sandwich, and swipe her finger on the floating screen: "It seems that there is support behind the temple this time. Weapons and other things are much more advanced than expected. This is a bit troublesome."
"But you don't look very worried." Wende asked curiously.
"After all, fighting pirates is nothing new." Xia Dan sighed, and said to himself: "Even their religious theories are nothing new. Let me think, maybe Stella is behind it? Or maybe Anson? Ober?"
"Our home galaxy is more than 1 light-years away from you!" Wind protested.
"Oh yes. I'm sorry, it's just a random guess." Xia Dan picked up the sandwich handed over by the robot: "Actually, there is still a possibility, although it sounds very unlikely..."
"what?"
"Qilian directed this war by itself."
"Why?" Wende asked puzzled, "I think you are probably really tired and stupid."
Xia Dan shrugged and laughed at himself: "It's just an unfounded conjecture. My father liked to think about problems from various absurd angles during his lifetime. This may have something to do with his work experience." She looked lonely and bit Sandwiches in one bite.
"By the way, there is news." Wende said while applying moisturizing gel to himself with his tentacles, "They captured a leader of the Temple organization, and found an effective anti-Siva virus on his starship." drug……"
Xia Dan choked: "What?"
"Well, the samples should be sent to you soon."
Fewa virus and Shiva virus are viruses of the same family, and there are many similarities in shape and structure.The only difference is that Shiva virus is slightly milder than Fewa virus - it is only 80% fatal.
80%.That number is actually still surprisingly high.Xia Dan felt a long-lost excitement: "Is the news confirmed?"
"Basically confirmed. But the journey is far away, maybe you have to wait patiently for a few days."
Xia Dan showed a smile: "This is the best news I heard today."
"Come on, it's not an effective drug for Fewa virus."
"At least it represents hope—a possible direction for us who are groping in the dark." Xia Dan said happily: "I'm going to see my students."
"I thought you'd rest first."
"I've rested. I took a nap on the way back." Xia Dan stuffed the rest of the sandwich into his mouth and wiped his hands: "Say hello to May for me."
"I will." Wende waved his tentacles: "We'll talk when we have time."
Xia Dan changed his clothes and left his residence.
The students' temporary accommodation is in the same building, a dormitory.It is said that it is a dormitory, but in fact, in the big suite, everyone has a small room that belongs to them.
Because of this accident, the original training plan was suspended.And Gruina is currently under control.Several newcomers had nowhere to go but stayed in the living quarters.Xia Dan assigned them a bunch of papers and homework.
Now it's time to check it out.
The building's access is divided into three categories.The entry and exit passages are one-way.After entering the channel, a medical examination, disinfection and shower are required to ensure that no deadly microorganisms are carried before entering the building; and only a medical examination is required when going out.
The third type is the passage inside the building, which is not directly connected with the other two types of passages.
Xia Dan walked towards the dormitory from the internal passage, and heard Hansen angrily say in Tiamat from a distance: "...I feel that we have been cheated, and you all feel the same. She only knows to let us do homework , Are you treating us like children... That vicious old woman."
"Wicked old woman" is the old saying in Tiamat.
Xia Dan raised his eyebrows and stopped.
"What did you say?" Felix hesitated, "The last sentence... the translator didn't translate it."
"In short, she was just lucky and got some results. But she didn't do those results alone." Hansen continued to use the old saying.
Youni hesitated and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I don't think it's good for you to talk about the professor behind his back like this."
"You can understand?"
"I've studied a little linguistics..."
"But it's useless if you understand it." Hansen said indifferently: "You can't be recognized by the upper class of Tiamat just by being able to speak a few beautiful ancient Chinese."
"I never planned to go to Tiamat in my life." Youni said angrily, "This is just a course I taught in Caliga."
"Oh whatever you want. Betas are always like this, aren't they? They are trying their best behind the scenes to get recognition, but they always pretend that they haven't put in too much effort. This way others will think that you are actually very good... I don't want to hit you, from a statistical point of view, the probability of beta being judged as a social elite is very low."
"You are simply unreasonable!"
"Okay." Ying comforted: "Han Sen is just in a bad mood. Han Sen, I know that wasn't your intention, you were just a little irritated by Ivie's pheromone, right? I also feel a little bit affected influence."
"Fortunately, he went back to the house." Felix said sullenly, "It's really bad, why didn't he take the inhibitor."
"He ate." Youni said angrily, "He's already trying very hard not to affect you."
"A married omega should stay with his partner. It's immoral to influence others like this." Felix complained.
"Ying? What's wrong with you?"
"Uh, I think I should go take a suppressant."
"Actually, if you need it, I'm happy to help. After all, everyone has nothing to do here. There's no rush to hand in homework."
"Not yet." Ying whispered, "Thank you for your kindness."
"Do you need me to help you get something?" Youni asked with concern.
"Oh, okay, thank you." Light footsteps sounded, and the two left together.
"You shouldn't ask him that directly." Felix said helplessly, "You can privately..."
"I just like seeing her blushing." Hansen said happily, "She's so cute, isn't she. Especially compared to that omega that smells of wet wood. Well, here's something good to show you."
"What? Oh, my God, is there a new Luster movie? Why is there only a little bit of it?"
"Because the feature film hasn't been released yet, this is just a preview. It's a pity, it will take a long time. The theme of this issue is "Hunting"..."
Moans sounded.
Xia Dan couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the door and walked in.
The floating screen was enlarged, and she saw a black-haired omega standing on the sand with its back to the camera, the clothes fell off the person's shoulders, and the tall alpha on the opposite side took it into his arms, but the picture only reached the alpha's chest .
The figures in the camera's field of view are beautiful.That image is both beautiful and obscene, and it's clear what happens next.
But that scene disappeared immediately, and the next scene was the front faces of other omega, and the logo of the Last family.
Xia Dan rushed over and violently dragged the scene to the very beginning.
Nothing, that shot was just a flash.
The undressed black-haired omega couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman from the back.
Xia Dan took a step back slowly and calmed down.
Holly was dead.Her brother was 19 when he died.The last time Xia Dan saw him in person, he was a child.
She said coldly in the ancient Tiamat saying: "If you have any problems, go to the honey house to solve them. Playing such things in public places is a sign of lack of education, Mr. Hansen Grani."
