Chapter 589 Official Blockade (asking for monthly votes)
Suenda's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
For journalists, the more exposure the better.
"Of course!"
"Then let's start now."
Gu Ji waved his hand and asked Kaida, Raja and others to stand over.
Suenda was slightly startled. She thought he wanted to go to the TV station to record a program. After all, the gap between live interviews and live TV broadcasts is too big.
But when she heard what Gu Ji said, and the photos and video evidence that Singh produced.
Her scalp went numb.
Because the sensation of this incident has exceeded the cognitive limit of ordinary people, it is completely a plot that only happens in movies and novels.
"This... If things are really as you said, the danger of this virus is unprecedented, and its severity is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Once it is exposed, it may cause panic among the people!"
"That's right, but compared to panic, the people need to know the truth more, and the government needs to control it, rather than block the news and cover up the truth!"
Gu Ji came to Su Enda and finally said heavily: "I hope you can be a good whistleblower!"
"I..."
Just as Su Enda hesitated, he had already brought people to the pink tuk-tuk.
That's right.
This is also the condition that Gu Ji asked Singh to agree with Su Enda at the beginning, that is, to find a private car and take a few sets of clothes, disinfectant alcohol, medical masks and other items.
After all, the armed police van they robbed now is too eye-catching.
After taking off the chemical protective suit and changing into new clothes, masks and rubber gloves.
Gu Ji restarted the car and turned around to leave the abandoned temple.
In the back seat of the car, a disease control worker noticed through the window that Su Enda was taking out her cell phone to make a call: "Do you think she will tell this news to other people?"
"The more people she tells, the more news about the virus will be."
"What if she gets scared and runs away?"
Raja asked again.
Gu Ji's eyes were extremely calm.
"Don't worry, even if she really wants to run, she won't go alone, and she will definitely leak the news. Moreover, the van I left for her can be seen by the police at a glance. Now the entire Kathmandu Airport, bus station, and major intersections must have been intercepted and set up by the police. Even if she wants to leave, it won't be that easy!"
"I understand!"
After hearing this, Catherine suddenly realized, "No wonder you insisted on breaking through the hospital blockade. It turns out that you want to use the police's wanted order to restrict movement in and out of the city!"
It must be said that this is indeed a "sinister" but very effective trick.
Not to mention that the police checkpoints will seriously hinder the flow of people in and out of Kathmandu, such a large-scale inspection operation alone will definitely attract the attention of the people in the city.
In addition, Suenda, a media reporter, exposed it behind the scenes.
It won’t be long before the news that there is a virulent virus in the hospital will spread throughout Kathmandu and even the whole of Nepal!
Raja is not optimistic about this. "Since the problem of spreading the news has been solved, next, should we discuss the hiding route, otherwise wait for the armed police to search the whole city..."
"The captain is right, we must find a safe place to stay!"
As policemen, Singh and his team naturally have strong anti-detection capabilities and know how to avoid police tracking.
"I do have a house with a separate courtyard, which was left to me by my deceased uncle. It is in the north of Kathmandu. The location is very remote. It has been abandoned for the past two years and no one will find it!"
At this time, another silent policeman suddenly spoke.
"Okay, but before going there, we need to get a batch of supplies first!"
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and came to the city center.
Perhaps the hospital incident has not yet fermented, and the people and tourists on the street are still enjoying Nepal's wonderful and rich nightlife as usual. There are endless shops on both sides, and the streets are full of motorcycles. From time to time, some vendors are shouting their handicrafts and snacks.
"Once the news of the virus ferments, it will inevitably cause panic among the people. At that time, supplies will be extremely scarce. Now we need water, food and medical supplies. Remember, the space in the car is limited and there are many of us, so only take high-calorie foods:
Peanut butter, biscuits, dried fruits, canned meat, etc., buy as many medical supplies as you can, and finally remember to disperse and avoid people with suspicious symptoms. Finally, gather here and communicate by phone at any time if you have any questions!"
"But when we were on duty, we didn't have much money in our hands..."
Singh took out his trouser pocket and only took out two crumpled 100-rupee banknotes.
This time, it was Catherine's turn to play a role.
After all, she came from a developed country and always carried a lot of cash with her.
After the few people distributed all the money evenly, they got off the car and went to shops and pharmacies according to their assigned tasks.
Gu Ji wore a mask and lowered his hat brim.
Along the way, a few passers-by looked at him curiously because of the "mask".
Even if he tried to avoid them, Kathmandu's population of 5 million was densely populated, and there were passers-by coming and going around.
"Boss, do you have shovels and ropes?"
"Yes, how many do you want?"
Gu Ji walked into an agricultural store.
Because Nepal is mainly agricultural, these tools are everywhere.
As for the reason why he bought this thing, it was also very simple:
Fight back against crazy infected people!
Although they have guns, the number of bullets is extremely limited, so they should save as much as possible. Moreover, the gunshots are too loud and can easily attract the police. In comparison, tools are the most practical.
In fact, if you really want to deal with human zombies, weapons such as kitchen knives, axes, and baseball bats are the most handy, or you can use a table knife and a mop handle to wrap them up and make a spear, and use a frying pan as a shield to integrate defense and offense.
But the frenzied infected are not real zombies after all.
Gu Ji does not have the habit of killing.
For these patients, knock them out if you can, then tie them up with ropes and simply control them.
Since it is a laboratory virus developed by humans, there will be corresponding vaccines or special medicine solutions sooner or later.
Finally, Gu Ji purchased six folding shovels, 100 meters of nylon rope, and six pairs of rubber boots at one time, which are enough for the six of them to use for a while.
On the way back.
A police car parked on the side of the road on the right side of the peripheral vision.
Gu Ji's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately lowered the brim of his hat, shouldered a shovel and a rope to cover his side face, and then continued to move towards the tuk-tuk without changing his expression.
As expected.
Three policemen got off the police car and began to patrol the flow of people in the downtown area, probably to find them.
Fortunately, he had foresight and dispersed his actions.
Otherwise, the six of them would all wear masks and gather together, carrying a large amount of supplies in their hands, and the target would be too big.
"Huha, I'm scared to death, these policemen actually chased here!"
Singer held a pile of whole wheat biscuits in his hand. This kind of thing is not only a coarse grain with high satiety, but also rich in fiber, and it can be eaten even if it is expired.
"Get in the car first, it's too conspicuous to stand outside."
Gu Ji threw all the shovels on the back of the tuk-tuk, and deliberately covered the gas mask and chemical protective suit below with a rope.
Waited for about five minutes.
Catherine and the others also came back one after another.
"The basic medical conditions in Kathmandu are really too poor. I went to two pharmacies and found only two boxes of medical gloves, and no protective clothing!"
"That's enough!"
Gu Ji watched the police's movements while starting the car and quickly left the roadside.
Fortunately, Nepal itself is a country that likes diversity, otherwise their pink tuk-tuk would probably be the first target of police inspection if it were in China.
Leaving the city center, heading north.
From time to time, police cars can be seen passing by on the street.
On the one hand, it's because the authorities are serious;
On the other hand, it's probably related to the outbreak of the virus and the many violent attacks that have occurred.
Following the instructions of the taciturn policeman, Gu Ji went all the way to the north of the city.
Compared with the city center, there are more ancient buildings here, and the surrounding houses are less bright. Occasionally, some monks chanting can be seen on the roadside. It is indeed a quiet and safe spot.
The safe spot is a two-story cottage with a front and back yard.
Including the living room and kitchen, there are at least five rooms, enough for their group to stay and rest.
Park the car in the yard.
While Gu Ji arranged for several people to load and unload supplies, he was also looking at the surrounding traffic and commanding heights in preparation for timely response in case of emergencies.
Raja saw all this and couldn't help but become more curious about his identity and employer.
"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up, okay, let's not talk about it first..."
When Gu Ji returned to the house, he happened to bump into Singh who was talking to his wife on the phone.
From the content of the conversation, it can be heard that he seemed to be dissuading his wife from taking the children to flee Kathmandu quickly.
Gu Ji didn't care about this.
Protecting family is instinctive, not to mention that the more people know about the virus, the better it is for him, as long as this guy is not stupid enough to expose his location to others.
Singh just hung up the phone and seemed to receive another message.
He looked closely and said excitedly: "Xima, Suenda said that she has posted the content on the official account of the Kathmandu Post Network, and now the click rate and forwarding are soaring rapidly!"
"Really, open it and take a look!"
Catherine heard it and was immediately curious.
So Singh hurriedly clicked on the news portal.
I saw a new video under the official account of Kathmandu Post, which clearly read: "Mysterious virus broke out in Kathmandu Hospital, and the police sealed off the city overnight to hide the truth"!
He is indeed a journalist.
This title alone is enough to attract attention.
Clicking it, it was Su Enda who recorded a video of himself talking at home and editing the interview video of Gu Ji and others, almost publishing all the key points such as the virulent virus and extremists.
The comments below also said all kinds of things.
[Oh my God, is this true? ]
[I was wondering why there were so many policemen in the city today. It turned out that something really happened! ]
[Is "Resident Evil" really going to become a reality? ]
[I saw someone fighting on my way home from get off work just now. Fortunately, I didn't go up to help, otherwise I would have been infected by now! ]
[I have a friend who works in the hospital. She told me that the hospital is now full of corpses. None of the infected people who were taken away came back alive. The reason why the police sealed off the city is because they are afraid that they can't control it! 】
……
It can be seen that Nepalese netizens are very panicked by the crazy virus shown by Gu Ji in the video.
What's worse, some people even began to add fuel to the flames and make up lies.
It seems that no matter which country, there are always rumor makers.
"If this goes on, the city will probably be in chaos..."
Catherine couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Ji was very satisfied with this effect, but it was far from enough.
Because Nepal is relatively backward, the probability of Internet access among the people is not high.
In other words, there are still a large number of people who don't know that the virus is spreading and breaking out in the city. This is why he asked Su Enda at the beginning whether he could broadcast it on TV, radio and the Internet.
So, he asked Catherine to contact her teachers and classmates in France again to make the matter as big as possible.
Raja and others were organized into teams by Gu Ji and began to patrol around the house in shifts.
This is not only to prevent the police from surrounding them, but also to prevent the invasion of infected people and gangs.
You know.
The wall of this house is only one person high, but any adult man can easily cross it. It belongs to "guarding against gentlemen but not villains".
Especially now that the news continues to ferment.
It is inevitable that gangs will take the opportunity to make "national disaster money" and rob houses.
Standing guard until the second half of the night.
Gu Ji was already exhausted physically and mentally, so he just lay down on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
A night without results.
The next day.
He was woken up by someone shaking him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the sunlight pierced directly into Gu Ji's eyes, making him squint his pupils instinctively.
Because it was already evening when he escaped from the confinement room yesterday, he was still a little uncomfortable facing such bright light.
The person who shook him was Raja.
"What happened?"
"Get up and take a look!"
Gu Ji got up in a hurry and found that the living room was full of people, but he had never noticed it.
This was undoubtedly a very serious mistake for him who had long been accustomed to sleeping and staying half alert.
"Is it radiation sickness that made my body weaker, or am I infected with a virus..."
Gu Ji couldn't help but start to worry about the latter.
After all, when he just came out of the confinement room, he didn't have protective clothing and gas masks when he killed the guards.
Although he did not have any symptoms of the frenzy virus last week, it does not mean that this round is the same, because his previous and subsequent plot experiences and conditions are completely different.
"So Professor Ram, what do you think is the source host of this virus?"
"Further verification is needed on this issue..."
Gu Ji listened to the clips played on the TV in the living room.
It turned out that Raja suddenly received news in the morning.
The Nepal morning news specifically mentioned the video released by the Kathmandu Post last night, admitting that a new virus had appeared in the capital city, but the official virologist said very calmly that it was not a big problem. Only 7 infected people have been found so far, and the initial estimate of the mortality rate... is very low!
