Free Web NovelChapter 1047: Chapter 993: Internal Strife and External Threats
The next day, the emergency expert team was stationed in Sileria City!
Seven hours passed, and the Infectious Disease Building in Sileria City admitted another 8 suspected cases.
These 8 suspected cases all came from the Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory Research and Development Department or were related personnel.
Thus, Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory was swept into the turmoil.
Sienna Johnson is now facing internal and external crises!
Internally, Curly is critically ill;
Externally, Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory is caught in an unprecedented huge crisis!
If it weren’t for Sienna Johnson’s strong personality, worrying about her daughter’s condition, strengthened by her motherly instincts, she would have collapsed.
...
Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory,
Sienna Johnson had just arrived and was surrounded by media reporters. These reporters were like keen-scented hunting dogs; only ten hours had passed, and they had already sniffed out the scoop.
Sienna Johnson glanced at the reporters’ badges. Reporters from all over the world were present, including those from Magic City... Once Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory was labeled as spreading the virus, it would be ruined.
However, Sienna Johnson’s mind was not on Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory now; she only wanted to quickly develop the virus antibody to save Curly.
If the factory collapsed, she could rebuild it; it was nothing remarkable.
She only wanted Curly to live!
"President Johnson, according to online revelations, this virus was developed by your Research and Development Department. What do you have to say about this?"
In the unclear situation, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, so Sienna Johnson remained silent.
"President Johnson, we heard that your daughter is also infected with the virus. Is this true?"
Sabrina Conner and Barnes Smythe shielded Sienna Johnson from the media reporters, preventing them from getting close and causing harm to Sienna Johnson.
"President Johnson, is there an antidote for the virus?"
"..."
"President Johnson, are you carrying out secret experimental research like Umbrella Corporation in ’Resident Evil’? Will there be zombies?" A science fiction reporter gossiped.
Zombies?
As a top student in medical sciences, Sienna Johnson laughed internally.
Since the appearance of humans, viruses have always been the most dangerous biological adversary. The human immune system contains numerous white blood cells that destroy pathogens entering the body and allow the body to survive for at least a period.
Zombies have no immune system to protect themselves. They become the best breeding ground for countless bacteria, fungi, and viruses that will devour them from the inside out.
"... As the outbreak source of the virus, is there a reason? Is it man-made or accidental? President Johnson, can you give us an explanation?"
As the official response was not released yet, Sienna Johnson could not make any statements, as any slight mistake could make her a target for attack.
Across fifty meters, Sienna Johnson took more than ten minutes to get inside.
Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory employees opened a small door to let Sienna Johnson in, and after Sabrina Conner and Barnes Smythe entered, they quickly locked the small door.
"Where are Reggie Dewey and Russell Austin?" Sienna Johnson asked.
"They are in the laboratory."
Sienna Johnson walked quickly towards the Research and Development Department.
Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory always emphasized the Research and Development Department, which has a separate three-story white building. Security is tight, with face and fingerprint scans for entry.
Reggie Dewey, wearing a white coat, personally came to receive Sienna Johnson, "President Johnson!"
Sienna Johnson looked very grim and said to Reggie Dewey, "What exactly happened? Why is the virus source linked to Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory?"
First Curly fell ill, then 3 researchers from the Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory Research and Development Department, followed by 4 family members of researchers, and a cleaning Auntie Agatha.
No wonder the outside world speculates as such; the outbreak here is extremely concentrated.
Reggie Dewey’s expression was grave, "I suspect it’s Dr. X’s doing."
"Him?"
"Yes!"
"Didn’t Dr. X run away?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Reggie Dewey adjusted his frameless glasses and said, "Speaking of it, in a way, I’m partly responsible for Dr. X’s escape."
Right now, Sienna Johnson was more concerned about whether there was an antibody for the virus, rather than how Dr. X escaped.
Her daughter was still in the Infectious Disease Building, waiting for her rescue.
"Do you have the viral sample?" Sienna Johnson interrupted Reggie Dewey, asking.
"Yes."
"If I’m not mistaken, the Health Bureau is probably about to take action. The laboratory might also be sealed. You need to leave with the viral sample now.
