Chapter 324: The Fog (2)

Unscrewing the lid, Chen Zizhen held the bottle to the woman's cracked lips and said, "Here, drink some water."

The woman shook her head again and pushed the bottle away, trying to suppress her coughing by covering her mouth with her hands, but her effort was useless.

Tears streamed down her cheeks from all the coughing. A second later, she suddenly coughed up blood.

"Cough!"

Chen Zizhen froze as he saw blood seeping between her thin fingers. Before he could react, the woman fainted, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.

Thud!

As her hand fell limply beside her face, Chen Zizhen noticed something strange mixed in the blood. Though scared, he forced himself to move closer. When he finally saw clearly what it was, he was so shocked, leaving him paralyzed with fear.

When he came back to his senses, Chen Zizhen hurriedly grabbed the rope that had fallen to the ground and tugged it hard several times with trembling hands.

Feeling a response from the other end of the rope, Chen Zizhen shouted, "Cover your nose and mouth! The fog can kill people!"

After repeating his warning a few more times, Chen Zizhen let go of the rope and checked on the woman. Unable to detect any breath or pulse, he slumped to the ground, staring at her in disbelief.

Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Juncheng Military Base's office building, Xu Qipeng and the other senior officers were in the middle of an emergency meeting.

At the front of them stood a man in his late twenties wearing a white coat, typing on a laptop. After a moment, he looked up and said, "Everyone, please look at the projector screen."

Pointing at the data displayed on the white screen hanging on the wall, the man explained, "These brown clouds covering the world are the fog. This black patch in the center of the fog remains unknown to us."

"We have observed and studied the fog and the black patch extensively, but all we know so far is that the fog can cause severe lung disease. As for the black patch, we still don't have any

answers.

As his words sank in, the meeting room fell silent.

A few seconds later, Xu Qipeng asked, "Professor Tu, can you predict when the fog will dissipate?"

Tu Yuzhi pressed a key, and the screen changed. He turned to Xu Qipeng and replied, "Based on the fog's speed and its spreading area, we estimate that it will last at least half a month."
