One hundred and ninety eight - black light virus

Three hours later, when the four vehicles returned to the Life Science City again, checkpoints had been set up at the entrance and exit of the city.

A gate made of steel stood in the middle of the road, and several security guards from the black security service were standing on the side of the road in protective clothing and holding guns.

"Oh Falk... I said guys, are you guys going to do Resident Evil?"

As several cars stopped at the checkpoint, one of the security guards stepped forward to the humanity in the jeep and said, "Isn't that too exaggerated?"

Unfortunately, the colleagues in the jeep ignored him.

"We did go to the epidemic area."

Herbert got out of the car to relieve the other party's embarrassment. He took out a document and handed it to the other party, while looking back at the ambulance he was in.

It wasn't until then that he understood why the other party would say such words.

The white ambulance was covered with dense bloody handprints. Just seeing these handprints, Herbert could feel how desperate the villagers must have been at that time.

"Why……"

Sighing secretly, the security guard also checked the documents at this time, and returned them to Herbert after confirming that they were correct, "Cars are not allowed inside, you must go in, but there will be someone inside to meet you."

"OK."

Herbert nodded, and then everyone got out of the car together, pushing the isolation cabin into the negative pressure tent to start disinfection.

Only after these people are thoroughly disinfected will they be allowed to enter the Life Science City.

Another complicated process followed, until two or three hours later, the four infected people were finally sent to the research center.

And their blood samples were sent to a Level 4 biosafety laboratory that had never been officially operated since its establishment.

Level 4 biosafety laboratory, the so-called international BSL-4 laboratory, is a laboratory specially used to study the most dangerous viruses in the world. This level of laboratory is extremely rare in the entire Earth Federation. Currently There are only 68 on record.

Chen Chen's is the only private BSL-4 laboratory in the world.

In the laboratory at this time, several top microbiologists such as Bernhard and Evans were summoned here. These people wore closed isolation suits, and the entire experiment would be completed on a negative pressure ultra-clean bench.

"The blood grinding liquid of the infected person has been completed, what about the culture dish of human kidney cells?"

"it's here."

"Okay, I've dripped the abrasive, let's see what kind of virus it is."

In the BSL-4 laboratory, the atmosphere of everyone was relatively relaxed. At this time, Bernhard asked his assistants to test the blood samples, while he and Evans and others carried out another processing method.

Half an hour later, as everyone put the human kidney cell culture dish into the electron microscope for observation, the true face of the virus was finally revealed on the display.

But seeing this, many people couldn't help but gasp.

On the screen, human kidney cells were completely destroyed under the attack of this virus. The cell membranes were shattered, and the organelles were disfigured. On the broken cell wreckage, there were densely packed with countless thread-like things...

"Sure enough, it's a filovirus."

Seeing this scene, Evans sighed in a low voice, "It is basically certain that so far, the Earth Federation has only discovered two kinds of filoviruses, and these two viruses are pathogens with the highest biosafety level."

"The specific result still depends on the assistant."

Bernhard waved his hand, turned his head and said to the busy crowd on the other side, "Joseph, what's the result of your serum test?"

"The test results have come out."

An assistant quickly walked over and handed the experiment report to Bernhard, "Professor, the virus that broke out this time has a cross-antibody reaction with the Zaire virus, and the antibody-antigen reaction was positive."

"impossible!"

Hearing this, Evans on the side immediately said, "This is definitely not the Zaire type!"

"If it was the Zaire type of Ebola virus, it would be easier to deal with."

Bernhard was also taken aback, and then looked pensive, "Although the Zaire Ebola virus has a 90% fatality rate, it is only contagious through bodily fluid transmission, which can be easily blocked." .”

"So this virus is definitely not the Zaire type, but a new subspecies virus that is very similar to the Zaire type Ebola."

Evans nodded. "Just like Reston Ebola."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.

After all, among the known types of Ebola virus, the infectivity and symptoms of each subspecies are different. Among them, the Zaire type has a 90% fatality rate, and the Sudan type has a 50% fatality rate. Both are transmitted through bodily fluids and are not highly contagious.

The most contagious is a subspecies called the Reston type.

This is an airborne Ebola virus that is almost identical to the Zaire virus, but fortunately, this virus can only kill monkeys, but it is not pathogenic to humans.

It’s just that when Reston-type Ebola was discovered for the first time, many people were worried—what if Reston-type Ebola mutated one day and began to have effects on humans?

No one dared to imagine, because at that time, a catastrophe would surely come.

And now, it all seems to be happening...

"Professor, we have analyzed the full glycoprotein gene sequence of the isolated virus and found that 98.9% of the nucleotides of this virus are identical to Reston virus."

Another assistant also came over and handed over an experiment report.

"Very good, since this is basically certain, this is indeed a mutated form of the Reston-type Ebola virus."

Looking at the report in his hand, Bernhard looked more serious, "In other words, this is an Ebola virus that can be transmitted through the air."

"You continue to decipher his genetic map, and I will send the first report to Boss first."

Evans said, "By the way, everyone brainstormed and named the virus so that it can be reported to the WHO. After all, as the first to discover this new type of virus, we have the right to name the virus."

Everyone heard the words, you look at me, I look at you, all showing hesitation.

"Or is it called Namibian Ebola virus?" one of the assistants said.

"No, we were the first to discover a new type of virus, so why should Namibia be exposed?" Another assistant retorted.

"Should it be called the Bernhard Evans type?" The third assistant suggested.

"How can this be, let's call it Chen Chen-type Ebola..." Evans waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, there's nothing to be humble about, let's name it after our company."

Bernhard on the side made a final decision, "Black Light Virus, this name is very good, I believe the Boss will be satisfied."

"Too."

Everyone nodded.

In this way, the name of the new virus was officially named.
