Chapter 256 Pathogen Monitoring System
Xia Ling looked at the big screen in front of him, which showed a map of China's territory.

However, on this territory map, red dots are scattered everywhere, dyeing most of China red.

"At present, with the cooperation of official medical organizations, the first epidemic census has been carried out, and the data has been summarized. The situation is not optimistic," said the researcher in a white coat.

"The only thing to be thankful for now is that the virus symptoms are still in the incubation and early stages and have not deteriorated further."

As he was speaking, a man walked in and said, "Director Xia, the participants with purification and medical capabilities in the bureau have gathered, and the civilian participants with corresponding capabilities are on their way."

Xia Ling nodded and said to Meng Wanqiu behind him, "Brother Meng, how is the monitoring system for the source of the disease going?"

"Under the cooperation of the medical team led by A-level participant Madam Shui, detection base points have been set up in various places. It is expected that the monitoring system will be put into use in two hours."

Xia Ling nodded and said to the man who had just arrived: "Now let's go through the purification process for the medical participants and arrange their next steps."

The power of the state apparatus is enormous, especially in this country, where officials and response agencies have strong appeal.

At the same time, Lu Ming was also working hard to respond to the disaster and made great contributions to epidemic research. His main contribution was to serve as a research sample.

In the spacious transparent glass cover, Lu Ming was a little depressed, but it was not because of the epidemic. Anyone who was visited by waves of people like a rare animal in a zoo would be unable to control his mentality, even if the response bureau prepared happy water and other supplies for him, as well as a top-of-the-line computer and PS5 with most of the high-quality games on the market.

Next to him was a glass room of the same size. Inside was a soldier, an ordinary person who served as the control group for the experiment. His mental state was much better than Lu Ming's, and he responded positively to the researchers' inquiries.

The fully operational official system has extremely high efficiency, and the response bureau, which has brought together the country's top participants, has pushed the experimental process back and forth again.

An intellectual beauty wearing glasses was flipping through various documents. Her elegant posture and gentle temperament carried a mature charm, coupled with her soft and weak figure, which even made people feel that she was a top-notch vase with a beautiful appearance.

But the people present showed no disrespect, nor did they show any covetousness in their expressions, as they explained the key points to her.

Shui Lianyue, a double doctor in biology and disease science, an A-level participant, codenamed 'Light of Purification', a relatively rare surname. Under her frail body, she hides powerful rescue and auxiliary abilities, and is in charge of the medical team of the Response Bureau.

"Sister Shui, what's going on? Do you have any clue?" Xia Ling approached decisively, followed by Meng Wanqiu.

Shui Lianyue nodded and shook her head, and stretched out her slender jade-like palm. A dot of green was wrapped in a ball of white light. Unlike the silence in Gu Qingyuan's palm, the green dot rushed left and right in the white light, as if it had consciousness.

"I have found the source of the disease, which is this green dot, and based on its spiritual power fluctuations and frequency, I have derived an effective monitoring system."

She looked at the green dot and said, "The power of the pathogen is not strong. With my purification ability, I can completely offset it and eliminate it. However, it is still unknown how many pathogen carriers there are in the country. My power alone is completely inadequate."

"If I fully release my A-level power, it will be enough to purify a super-populated city, but I will be exhausted afterwards." Xia Ling shook his head: "As an expert in the supernatural, your power is precious and cannot be consumed easily. Wait until the situation becomes serious. At least there has been no death case yet, so there is still some time to fight for it."

"I have discussed this with experts from all walks of life. Currently, the source of the disease is not capable of being transmitted through blood, air, saliva, etc. It can only be transmitted through the Internet. Other features are very similar to existing viruses." Shui Lianyue nodded. She had said those things before to make Xia Ling understand that she could be used as a last resort in an emergency.

'Is it spread through the Internet?'

Xia Ling frowned. If the disease was transmitted through real channels, it would be fine. At least there were corresponding means to contain it. She was very confident in the construction of a complete medical system in China, but through the Internet...

In this information age, mobile phones have become people's second life, and the Internet has spread to every aspect of life. If the Internet becomes paralyzed, it will be enough to make the entire human society's technological strength regress several steps. Moreover, the Internet is not so easy to destroy, and it is not advisable to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

"You are an expert in this area, and the Response Bureau will cooperate with you 100%. Sister Shui, what are your plans next?" Xia Ling looked at Shui Lianyue.

Shui Lianyue raised the ball of light in her hand high, and a white light flashed from her fingers and flew towards Lu Ming. The white light circled around Lu Ming and fell into his body. When the white light appeared again, it was also wrapped with a little green light.

"Director Xia, you can see that the source of the disease in my hand was extracted from Brother Lu's body, but when we show him the pictures of the disease again, a new source of the disease will reappear, and its incubation period will be shorter." Shui Lianyue said.

Lu Ming in the glass room smiled at the two of them. He was now in a cycle of infection, purification, and re-infection, which meant that he had a good foundation and could withstand the ordeal.

"Lu Ming, although what I said was a bit inhumane, and everything I said sounded a bit saintly, I hope you can hold on and not put too much pressure on yourself. I can ensure your safety. Please believe in the strength of this country." Xia Ling said with a serious face and a hint of apology.

Lu Ming waved his hand and said nothing more.

"The purification process is now underway. The goal is to curb the recurrence of the source of the disease. This requires the response bureau to find the existence of the 'Plague Knight' as soon as possible," Shui Lianyue said, "At the same time, we need to find a way to conduct large-scale purification. It is urgent."

"With the cooperation of the Response Bureau, the initial disease source monitoring barrier will be established in 75 minutes. I need to apply for Eve's computing power support, and in the following time, as the host of the barrier, I will conduct preliminary purification of the severely affected areas. We don't have much time left."

Xia Ling nodded: "Most of the unnecessary projects have been stalled, Eve's computing power has been released, and she will fully cooperate with you."

Dozens of minutes later, as the heads of various regions of the Response Bureau activated the base point of the barrier in the heavily guarded base, Shui Lianyue, as the host, raised the silver staff in her hand under the aura of the main ceremony.

With Eve's assistance, the monitoring barrier adjusted and filtered according to the fluctuations of spiritual power, thereby capturing certain obscure fluctuations.

On the big screen in front of Xia Ling, the first green dot appeared on the red distribution map, and then large areas of green dots connected together.
