Chapter 54 Chapter 53: The Garden of Sin

"Doctor Ye!" Lao Mu shouted, taking a step forward. He had already moved a chair and brought a glass of boiled water; after the female doctor sat down, he stood beside the female doctor like a statue.After all, he is an old Xiehe, an old nurse, and he has shown extraordinary qualities at critical moments.The moment Ye Yuhan's forehead was about to hit the table, Lao Mu had already stretched out his hand to support her; then helped her to sit up, and put the sedative medicine that had been prepared in front of her... Ye Yuhan glanced at Lao Mu gratefully, then raised her eyes to glance at the dark night outside the window.She swallowed the pills, drank a few sips of water, and continued to look through those black folders when her mind and body calmed down a bit.

The last pile of documents was not Japanese criminal evidence, but the internal files of the Americans, and there were many things that Ye Yuhan couldn't understand.She hasn't figured out what kind of foundation "SLR" is, and "U Committee", "G Committee" and "Chemical Warfare Department" appear in the materials in front of her; she only knows Dr. Simon Czerny, but However, "Lieutenant Colonel Simon Czerny" appeared in the document in front of him... A "memorandum" issued in the name of the "G Committee" reads—— ... We are by no means limited to Bacillus anthracis research.It must start from following the Japanese model to create and form its own biological weapon development system, and must start with all multi-cellular, single-cell, and viral pathogens that may be applicable to bacterial warfare.Botulism, wave fever, infectious abortion in livestock, melioidosis and melioidosis, tularemia, psittacosis, coccidioid granuloma, neuroencephalitis, shellfish poisoning, plague, cattle plague, Newcastle disease, fowl blast, rice spot And rice brown spot, potato late leaf blight, white silkworm, chemical regulators of plant growth and defoliants, etc., should be included in our research scope.As long as it is an organism that is believed to cause disease in humans, animals, and plants, or something that contains the toxins of these organisms, it is our research object.

The translation of a coded telegram addressed to Lieutenant Colonel Simon Czerny reads as follows— We have already formulated and implemented a plan code-named "Xuefeng", trying every means to search for Nazi biochemical warfare experts, and bring them and their families to the United States to serve us.We must do the same with Japan.In the short period of time before and after the surrender, the bacterial units of the Japanese army in China destroyed the evidence at the fastest speed and fled back to Japan in a hurry.And you can work diligently under such conditions to maximize the collection of their materials and to clean up and select them, to maximize the search and excavation of those things that are useful to us, to maximize the Chinese to forget everything and make it impossible for them to continue The entanglement of the Japanese germ warfare experts who committed crimes, and the construction of our first beachhead SB-1 in the Far East with the fastest speed are indispensable.In order to speed up our research and add a deterrent method against the Russians in addition to the atomic bomb, we must pay attention to strategy, pay equal attention to grace and power, pardon and protect bacterial war criminals such as Shiro Ishii who have fled back to Japan, and protect them from Arrest and trial; we must influence them, let them cooperate with us sincerely, make them convincingly hand over the experience and materials accumulated over a long period of time, and do everything possible to save our time, money and all other tangible and intangible resources...

Major General Wright Bakker, director of the "Chemical Warfare Department", wrote a signed letter to Cherny as follows: Bacteriological weapons pose special dangers.Hundreds of killer strains and strains are dormant in countless refrigerators and liquid nitrogen tanks in hundreds of laboratories from Edgewood to Plum Island, and may escape at any time.Weird lesions, violent deaths of residents, and a large number of deformed stillbirths and deformed premature babies occurred many times in the vicinity of the laboratories on Jiao Island and Plum Island. Others don't know what's going on, but you and I know it well.For example, the anthrax bacteria we are most interested in now, its spores are extremely resistant to the outside world, and can almost sleep forever and never die!We cannot allow this factor to besiege, persecute, threaten or even kill us for long.So, for the safety of the US, we urgently need to find an alternative country or region - you know, the "G Committee" and the SLR agree that Central and South America are obviously not possible, because bacteria and viruses can easily spread to North America along the land bridge; other The most suitable candidates seem to be the South Asian subcontinent and China—there is a vast territory, large latitude span, warm and humid, complex landforms, constant wars, dense population, low level of human evolution and cultural quality, it is a rare experiment It is also the best research laboratory and testing ground for biological weapons.Of course you will not forget that it is for this purpose that you traveled to China and the Far East...

Ye Yuhan believes that she has finally understood a basic fact, that is, SB-1 is actually a secret biological weapons laboratory built by the Americans in China.Moreover, when the Yankees were short of time and manpower after World War II, especially in the absence of first-class experimental microbiologists, she was of great help to them!Ye Yuhan said nothing, her face was pale, and the veins on her temples and neck were throbbing.She raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, her chest rose and fell sharply... "Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye!" It was Lao Mu again, his voice was very soft.

Ye Yuhan slowly opened his eyes, silently, looking forward, then slowly turned his eyes to Lao Mu, expressing that he heard his voice.The old wood pointed to the wall.The female doctor took a look, and there was an electric clock pointing to 3:37 - ah, it was early morning!And it's summer, and it's going to be dawn soon!She stood up.Lao Mu turned off the lights and doors behind her, and turned off the lights and locked the doors after walking out of Building H... The night air is cool.Although you can't see the plants on both sides of the path clearly, you are bathed in the fragrance of various flowers.But now, the female doctor did not feel relaxed and comfortable at all, but felt suffocated and nervous...

"Old Mu, I think," said the female doctor, "this Viola Garden should be renamed 'Sin Garden'!" With that said, he came to the front of building D. "What is Building D used for now?" asked the female doctor. "It's still the original use." Lao Mu replied, "The newly purchased centrifuge and dryer are also temporarily stored here." "Building D" is actually a solid one-story house. Below it is a deep and large basement with constant humidity and temperature, automatic air purification, automatic indoor disinfection, and resistance to "violent vibrations". Guaranteed power supply for several hours under certain conditions, and so on. The "original purpose" is according to Ye Yuhan's design. Building D is a specimen room, which is used to preserve bacteria and virus strains, and can also be used for some well-protected experiments.

Ye Yuhan walked around the rooms and came to the basement; the sound of water flowing, air currents and humming electric current could be heard everywhere.Large and small liquid nitrogen tanks and refrigerators of different shapes are lined up in the rooms and corridors—although the liquid nitrogen tanks are opaque, many test tubes and flasks can be seen through the glass doors of the refrigerators. Color liquid or powder.Various metal utensils, optical microscopes, glass and plexiglass containers for experiments and inspections are placed on the heavy workbench, and "glove boxes" and two electron microscopes are placed under the walls and in the corners of the room...

Without saying a word, Ye Yuhan opened the drawer of the workbench, found the "work log" and looked at it, then turned around and walked to the liquid nitrogen tanks and the refrigerator with glass doors, and checked the "log" one by one.It must be admitted that the Americans are pragmatic and meticulous when it comes to science—like the archives in Building H, the records in the "Work Log" in Building D are also orderly, and can be checked with the labels on the liquid nitrogen tanks and refrigerators' Above: "Yersinia pestis Vibrio cholerae", "Salmonella typhi", "Rickettsia typhus", "Bacillus anthracis", "Ricin", "Botulism", "Influenza virus XIII" , "Escherichia coli 009", "foot-and-mouth disease virus 0133", "biochemical enzyme", "Ishii-type medium", "033 medium", "bentonite"...

Ye Yuhan took a hiss of cold air, fully understanding what she saw. "Cultivation medium" itself is not a bacterial virus, but a food and breeding ground for bacterial viruses.The "cow blood meal" and "human blood meal" in the Japanese archives are the raw materials for the culture medium. Most of the "biochemical enzymes" are non-toxic, but even if they are non-toxic, they can be used to simulate anthrax and other bacteria in experiments; some biochemical enzymes such as sarin and VX are highly toxic. "Ricin" is pure and natural, but every 70 milligrams, which is the size of a grain of salt, can kill people, and there is no antidote. "Bentonite" is an inert chemical additive. The mixture of it and bacterial spores can be suspended in the air for a long time after being sprayed by an airplane or a sprayer for "actual combat"...

Anthrax is even more terrifying!Theoretically speaking, one gram of anthrax spores can kill one-half of the American population—although this “level” cannot be reached in actual combat, it is far more powerful than the atomic bomb; anthrax measured in ounces or kilograms Spores can easily kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people in a big city! "Centrifuge" and "dryer" are equipment for producing bacterial spores, especially anthrax spore powder, which are generally white or light brown... Ye Yuhan recalled what Lao Mu said: "American cars come in and out every day, and they have been busy transporting things here" - a lot of equipment and equipment, as well as these terrible bacteria, viruses, toxin proteins, biochemical enzymes, culture media and fillers , were all transported in after Ye Yuhan left the Violet Garden, and they all confirmed the instructions of Major General Wright Buckle: the Chinese "evolutionary level and cultural quality are low", and China should be regarded as the "strategic creature" and "the best research laboratory" and proving grounds"!Confirming the mission of Lieutenant Colonel Simon Czerny, who "went to China and the Far East for this purpose"... "Let's go." Ye Yuhan turned around, "Go to Building F and see the 'ward'." "Not only have wards been opened," Lao Mu said, "but patients have also been admitted." "What kind of patient?" "A little girl about ten years old. I heard that there will be some patients coming." "Oh?" The female doctor was full of surprise. "For some reason, besides the patients, they are still trying to find stillbirths and babies. Eleven of them have been obtained from various hospitals in Peking." "What are you doing with such corpses?" "I'm an old Xiehe, but I really don't understand." "What basic requirements do they have for these corpses?" "Go 'fresh,' that is, a fetus that has just died." The female doctor looked gloomy and said nothing. Came to F building.Ye Yuhan looked up and saw that indeed, all the windows on the third floor were equipped with iron bars. "Isn't it a ward? Why does it look like a prison!" The female doctor shook her head again and again. "You mean the iron fence on the top?" Lao Mu said, "The underground is also famous!" "What hall of fame?" "They surrounded Building F with scaffolding and straw mats, and buried a circle of steel pipes with mastoids around the foot of the outer wall of the house. The Marine Corps of the US Consulate did the construction." Lao Mu opened the door with a key and walked towards the building. The right side pouted, "Here, such a weird thing was installed while the underground steel pipe was buried——" The female doctor looked carefully, and there was a box with a glass door added to the snow-white wall. The glass door was locked, and there were four instruments and a handle inside the glass door... "Like a fire-fighting device." Ye Yuhan hesitated. "You know, every building already has ready-made fire-fighting installations, and Building F is no exception—" Lao Mu stopped abruptly, not continuing. Ye Yuhan couldn't figure out why, and walked upstairs.Lao Mu followed closely behind.Sure enough, when he went up to the second floor, he found that there was also an iron gate at the corridor leading to the third floor, blocking Ye Yuhan head-on.Lao Mu added: "Every door inside is also equipped with iron gates." "Open." She ordered. "No." Lao Mu shook his head, "I can open all locks, except here." "Aren't you in charge of all the keys of Jin Yuan?" "No, except for the two keys of the gate and the gatehouse, the Americans have never let me handle other keys. The large number of keys you saw me using just now were all secretly prepared by myself." "What did you say?" "To tell you the truth, Doctor Ye, I was indeed a thief during the Japanese Occupation." Lao Mu smiled faintly, "I had the unique skill of matching keys before the Japanese Occupation, but I never used it." Ye Yuhan was not surprised when she listened. "The Americans just converted the third floor of Building F into a ward, installed iron fences and locked it." Lao Mu continued, "I haven't had time to prepare this key yet." "That little girl..." Ye Yuhan murmured. "There is no problem in life. Every room on the third floor is spacious, well-equipped, and has a bathroom. In order to be a ward, even food, drink, clothes are provided, and the living will be very comfortable." "I mean, what's wrong with the kid?" "She's not sick." "What, you're not sick?" Ye Yuhan was surprised. "Not only is this child not sick, but all future patients will not be sick." The female doctor was even more surprised, it was unbelievable!At this moment, Lao Mu opened the locked door No. 7 diagonally opposite, and gestured towards the room.It was a wide, double-sided door that had just been clad in metal.All the doors were locked, but Lao Mu only opened this door—Ye Yuhan knew that this was to attract her special attention.Looking inside, it looks like a general hospital pharmacy or treatment room. There is a huge container in the corner, which looks like a metal coffin standing vertically.She had never seen such a strange device before, a strange feeling filled her heart, and she walked into the house... Lao Mu grabbed her, pointed out the window, and said softly, "It's too late!" The female doctor looked up, and sure enough, the sky had turned white... "What should I do?" Ye Yuhan became anxious. "It's like this, Doctor Ye," Lao Mu cleared his throat and said, "I've already checked, this big box contains injections, and it's for the patients upstairs." "Aren't they sick? Why are they getting injections?" "Listen to me!" Lao Mu glanced at the sky outside the window and interrupted him, "Not only is this big box weird, but those ampoules are even weirder. The glass is gray-black, and each one has a tin foil envelope, packed in a heavy metal box. Inside the box; all metal boxes have no words or signs on the outside, but are sealed with lead..." "There is a lead seal, how did you see the inside?" "I broke the lead seal!" "If the lead seal is removed, then, how to restore it?" "I can restore the seal." Ye Yuhan thought about it.She believed what Lao Mu said.With such a "unique skill", restoring the lead seal may indeed be a piece of cake.She asked: "The packaging is so weird, what kind of injection could it be?" "Yes! I have been in Xiehe for decades, and I have never seen such a weird thing." "What should I do?" The female doctor returned to this question. "I have already opened three metal boxes, and took out an ampoule from each box." Lao Mu said decisively, "Send it as a sample for identification, Doctor Ye..." "Ah, Old Wood!" "Didn't I be a thief?" Lao Mu smiled again. "Why do you always say that!" Ye Yuhan said in a reproachful tone, "I mean, this is very dangerous for you." "I've already died several times, it doesn't matter." Lao Mu shook his head, "Doctor Ye, I stole it just to get it for you for identification. You are a good person, and you are a person with status..." Lao Mu looked again Outside the window, "No, we can't delay any longer! I'll see you off." "What about the ampoule?" "Don't worry about it!" Lao Mu limped with difficulty.Outside the gate of Jin Yuan, he looked at both ends of the alley, took out a brown paper bag from his arms, and stuffed it into Ye Yuhan's hand: "Go, go!" The female doctor took two steps, then came back: "Old Mu, there are two more important matters—" "Speak quickly, Doctor Ye." "Find out why the steel pipes were buried outside Building F..." "OK!" "Also, assign another key to Building F..." "You thought of me!"
