Chapter 911: Contamination…

Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97

City A was practically on locked down because no one dared to step out of their front door. This was also an international crisis, as many foreign citizens were also down with the sickness. Almost the whole world was following this development closely. Hwa Xia's foreign affairs department was not unlike a battlefield.

”But why would he suddenly fall ill?” Madam President said with a frown; the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. ”He has been relatively healthy, and this virus outbreak is much too sudden.”

The President would not socialize with normal citizens, and none of his close confidants showed signs of carrying this virus. So, when and where did he get exposed to the virus?

Regarding this point, Xinghe had her suspicions as well. However, no matter how hard she racked her mind, she could not come up with an answer. Regardless, she knew she had to get to the bottom of the truth; she could not allow the conspiracy talk to fester.

The police force had poured all of its resources into investigating this case, but they still could not find the origin of the virus. Two days had passed and there were more and more cases of reported contamination. The virus seemed to be airborne because almost everyone who was in proximity of a patient would be infected. This was how the virus spread…

If not for the early quarantine, the consequences would have been unimaginably bad. Lu Qi had been a doctor for so many years and he had not come across such a powerful virus before; it was scarier than H1N1 influenza.

His two days of research resulted in nothing. He could not find the cure. The hospitals across City A were packed to the brim. The government had no choice but to sequester empty buildings to form temporary hospitals and mobilize medical experts from all across the country to deal with this crisis. Even so, there were so many patients that each doctor had to juggle more than a handful of patients.

The foreign ambassadors who the President had met with during the competition were infected one after another. Even Hwa Xia's ambassadors were unable to escape this fate.

However, what made Xinghe's heart chill was the fact that Mubai also exhibited signs of infection. When he first noticed the weaknesses appearing within his body, he immediately distanced himself from Xinghe and requested to be quarantined.
