Zuo Feng's face instantly darkened; he naturally knew the true nature of those mistresses and paramours.
The talents Zuo Feng brought back from Dream City were all top professionals in their fields, and their treatment at Firefly was naturally extremely generous, which inevitably attracted the attention of those women.
Instead, he intentionally allowed them to interact with these top talents, hoping they would settle down in Firefly, thereby enhancing the talents' sense of belonging and stabilizing the team.
Now, it seemed this had become a hidden danger.
The most thorny problem currently was the inability to detect.
When it came to contact, who in the entire base hadn't interacted with them?
Even Zuo Feng and the girls of Firefly had interacted with them; he couldn't possibly isolate himself as well.
"Actually, in this situation, isolation is secondary; you can focus on the transmission channels."
At this moment, Huan Jingjing, who had been listening attentively from the side, suddenly spoke. There was no confidential content in this meeting; on the contrary, the existence of the New type of symbiotic zombie virus needed to be publicized, so Zuo Feng allowed Huan Jingjing to listen in.
"Oh? Tell me more," Zuo Feng was slightly taken aback, then motioned for Huan Jingjing to continue.
Huan Jingjing calmly said, "Virus transmission requires specific conditions. As long as these conditions are cut off, the spread of the virus can be effectively contained.
Since its transmission route is similar to AIDS, as long as we prevent intimate contact and blood exposure, and strictly control personnel behavior, we won't be easily infected.
Moreover, although I don't know much about it, listening to your conversation just now, the source of infection is the technical personnel you brought back from Dream City over the past half-month, so you can directly release the news.
People cherish their lives; once others know they might be carrying the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, they will naturally consciously avoid them and reduce contact.
This way, not only can the risk of infection be reduced, but it can also make everyone more vigilant and take active precautions; it will be much more effective than blind isolation."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Feng's eyes lit up. Right, they had focused entirely on how to isolate, but before they could detect who the true carriers were, this path was simply unfeasible. Huan Jingjing's suggestion was indeed viable.
Zuo Feng nodded, his mind suddenly clear: "Yes, that's what we'll do. Additionally, temporary isolation zones will be established at the construction site. Personnel from Dream City will live in one area, under strict monitoring.
Jian Ruoxi, your girls will live in one isolation zone, and you must ensure they cannot temporarily contact the technical personnel.
At the same time, strengthen publicity so that everyone understands the seriousness of the virus and consciously abides by prevention and control measures."
None of the mistresses and paramours knew who had privately contacted the technical personnel, so Zuo Feng naturally wouldn't let them stay here anymore; he arranged for all of them to go to the construction site.
"Xiao Mi Tao, go tell the researchers on the fifth floor that from now on, they are not allowed to leave the fifth floor. They must develop detection agents and curative agents as soon as possible."
The scientific researchers on the fifth floor could not be arranged to go to the construction site for the time being because they needed to develop agents, but their scope of activity had to be strictly limited.
"Da Bai Tu, immediately fly to Huo Yao Base and inform them about the New type of symbiotic zombie virus." Da Bai Tu accepted the order and left.
"Fox Yaorao, the construction progress must still be maintained and not affected. Also, install and activate the monitoring system at the construction site to prevent anyone from maliciously spreading the New type of symbiotic zombie virus."
Although there was the threat of the virus, the earliest outbreak time was still three months away. Zuo Feng naturally could not let the project stagnate; he had to ensure progress and prevention went hand in hand.
Furthermore, human hearts are unpredictable, and irrational behavior due to panic must be guarded against internally.
"Understood, I will pay attention," Fox Yaorao immediately accepted the order and left.
"Da Yuanyuan, during this period, have the female students patrol day and night to ensure every corner is monitored without blind spots. Also, be aware that once anyone is found deliberately spreading the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, kill them on the spot without hesitation."
Da Yuanyuan nodded and immediately left to organize the female students to strengthen patrols, ensuring every corner was under surveillance.
"Bai Duanqian, don't let the Mutant blacksmiths you manage leave the forging area for now." Bai Duanqian accepted the order and quickly arranged for the Mutant blacksmiths to stay in the forging area to avoid contact with the outside world.
Huo Yao Base is so close to Firefly Base that Yun Qianqian could arrive in two hours by flying.
Time was pressing, and Yun Qianqian sped all the way because Huo Yao Base had received over 2000 Mutants this time, and there was a high probability that carriers of the New type of symbiotic zombie virus were hidden among them.
When Yun Qianqian arrived at Huo Yao Base, Lu Zhuoyan was still sound asleep.
He had been truly exhausted these past few days; continuous high-intensity work had left him physically and mentally drained, so he naturally needed a good rest upon returning to his base.
However, Yun Qianqian's arrival was destined to prevent Lu Zhuoyan from continuing his peaceful sleep.
When Yun Qianqian informed Lu Zhuoyan about the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, he suddenly awoke, all sleepiness gone.
He immediately assembled his personnel and completely sealed off the newly arrived Mutants.
Lu Zhuoyan was fortunate; all the people he received were Mutants, so these 2000 people were placed in a separate area for brainwashing and had not yet come into contact with other personnel at Huo Yao Base.
Lu Zhuoyan quickly issued an order, sending these Mutants directly back to Dream City.
He was scared; he deeply understood the terror of the New type of symbiotic zombie virus, and he dared not accept any of these Mutants now.
At the same time, he ordered the closure of all entrances and exits of Huo Yao Base, stating that no more external personnel would be accepted until detection agents or curative agents were developed.
Previously, the scouts who had gone to investigate Peerless Apocalypse had been quickly isolated and their close contacts strictly screened.
The transport team was fine; there was no significant contact.
Lu Zhuoyan's decisive action averted potential catastrophic consequences.
After Yun Qianqian explained the situation to Lu Zhuoyan, she immediately returned to Firefly Base to report.
Upon learning of Huo Yao Base's response measures, Zuo Feng felt a slight sense of relief.
Huo Yao Base was truly lucky; the personnel they took in hadn't had a chance to interact with Huo Yao Base's people before he notified them, and Lu Zhuoyan's quick reaction was indeed commendable.
But the most crucial problem remained unresolved: the hotbed of the virus—Dream City.
At present, it was impossible to completely control the spread of the virus; even flattening the entire H City would not completely eliminate the viral threat.
All he could do was deliver the message to the Three Giants of Dream City; as for their response measures, he was too powerless to think further. Moreover, the Steel Fortress, Glory of Light, and Spear of Victory—these three behemoths in H City—had close ties with Dream City.
Presumably, there were many virus carriers there now, and they also had to be notified.
As for how to save themselves, that could only be decided by them.
Zuo Feng gently massaged his temples, a splitting headache. Jun Wushuang's threat was still unresolved, and now, a huge new problem had arrived.
"Big pervert, the leaders of Steel Fortress, Glory of Light, and Spear of Victory are here for a joint visit."
At this moment, Da Yuanyuan's announcement came from outside the door. Da Yuanyuan had originally been leading the female students on patrol at the construction site and unexpectedly encountered these important figures visiting.
