Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 139 Nuclear Radiation?!

Hearing this, Lu Chen lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"We had our suspicions too, but when we caught her this time, we found nothing on her."

Chu Xin thought about it and realized that many of the bacteria used by the Sakura Country during World War II were extremely difficult to prevent and control, among which anthrax and plague were the most prominent.

The time from plague infection to onset of symptoms is usually around 2 to 7 days, but it can be as short as a few hours or as long as more than 10 days.

If you accidentally get infected, you will see symptoms soon.

That woman must have known that she was not infected and was just lying.

Bacillus anthracis can form spores, which are extremely resistant and can survive in the natural environment for decades.

Even under adverse conditions, the spores can survive for a long time, and once the conditions are suitable, they will germinate again and become infectious bacteria.

If she really got a sample of such bacteria with strong survival ability, wide transmission routes, rapid onset and severe symptoms, how could she not carry it with her?

"Maybe we should go back to the station's backyard and conduct a thorough search. She was chased by human traffickers and ran out, then she intercepted me on the way and helped me back in. There must be a reason for that."

"Ah!"

Lu Chen sneered, "These bastards, they use their cunning minds to deal with us compatriots!"

Chu Xin had thought of it. Since everyone was smart, they naturally came to their senses.

After hearing so much, Chu Yunting was only interested in what they were talking about: Yersinia pestis.

"Will skin ulcers and limb necrosis occur if infected with this bacteria?!"

When Zhou Yichen heard Chu Yunting ask this, he knew what he wanted to know.

"I know what you mean. The anthrax infection does have some similarities to your father's illness.

But you have to know that our ancestors had already been preventing and treating this kind of bacteria during the Anti-Japanese War. If your father is really infected with this kind of bacteria,

It is impossible for your superiors to watch your father suffer and not provide him with treatment.

This only means…”

Zhou Yichen's eyes turned cold and filled with a deep sense of oppression.

"That means he's not infected with this thing!"

Everyone knew that Chu Zhinian was ill and had tried their best to save him, but unfortunately...

No one knows what disease he has, so no one knows where to start!

Lu Chen was a smart man. He knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay here at this time, so he immediately suggested arranging people to search the train station.

Chu Xin glanced at Lu Chen's back as he walked out, then looked at Chu Yunting, thinking that since she was also an outsider, should she also stay away?

As soon as Chu Xin's eyes moved, Zhou Yichen knew what she was thinking. They were all people to be entrusted with their lives, and they were trustworthy. There was nothing that could not be said.

"Chu Yunting's father died before liberation, and his symptoms were most similar to those of anthrax and plague. That's why he got so excited when he heard about this case.

However, despite using all available medical resources, including medical technology specific to this particular pathogen, we were unable to prevent the disease from worsening.”

Chu Xin was surprised. She didn't expect Chu Yunting to have such a background. He usually acted so cheerful and funny that it was really hard to tell.

Zhou Yichen turned around to look at the person who hadn't recovered yet and continued:

“What a person shows on the outside is not necessarily who he really is.

Chu Yunting's grandfather lost his son, and as he was old, his mother missed him all the time.

He grew up in such a family environment. If he doesn't show some strength and liveliness, how will his family survive?!"

Chu Xin was shocked by these words. Perhaps out of a desire to protect her friend, she herself was in a very depressed mood.

So I became more concerned about Chu Yunting's affairs.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Zhou Yichen knew that Chu Xin had a secret and might know something they had never been exposed to, so he told her all the information he had.

After saying that, he asked Chu Xin with a serious expression,

"Where do you think the problem lies?"

After hearing this, Chu Xin frowned tightly. People who came from the end of the world were too familiar with the weird thing called nuclear radiation.

"Does Xiao Chu really know something?!"

Chu Yunting suddenly asked, he had regained his spirits at this time.

Chu Xin thought for a moment before saying:

"Your father returned to Kyoto after he became ill, right?"

Chu Yunting nodded. Although his mother was reluctant to mention this, he wanted to know and he would definitely find someone to tell him.

"My father's illness was initially kept secret, and he was only sent back to Kyoto when he ran out of medicine and needed large amounts of morphine for pain.

Because all medicines were in short supply at that time, it was impossible to conceal the use of large doses of painkillers.

Moreover, he was unwilling to use it again, not only because he was worried about becoming addicted, but also because the drug was too hard to come by. Many of them were obtained by underground correspondents who went overseas and risked their lives!

Zhou Yichen then said:

"So he kept enduring the pain of skin ulcers and necrosis of his limbs. In the end, it was really..."

Chu Yunting took a deep breath and continued:

"He ended up committing suicide!! Even though his family didn't tell me, it doesn't mean I didn't know!"

Zhou Yichen was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Yunting would know this.

The reason he knew this was because the old man in the family had specifically told him. They had announced to the outside world that Chu Zhinian had died of illness.

On the one hand, I don't want his illness to cause panic.

On the other hand, Chu Zhinian's military rank was not low, and the news of his suicide was likely to affect the emotions and morale of other soldiers.

To put it more seriously, it will damage the image and reputation of the military in the hearts of the people.

Because no one will care why you committed suicide, they will only speculate whether the unit you belong to is trustworthy!

After hearing this, Chu Xin not only felt sympathy for Chu Yunting, but also felt heartbroken.

But cruel words still have to continue to be said.

"If I'm not mistaken, your father should have been exposed to nuclear radiation!"

"Nuclear radiation?!"

Neither Chu Yunting nor Zhou Yichen expected to hear such an answer that seemed like a fairy tale.

Ever since the United States used the atomic bomb in World War II, its enormous power has shocked the whole world.

This made China realize the importance of nuclear technology in military and strategic aspects. In 1955, after a meeting held by the top leaders, they made the strategic decision to develop the atomic energy industry and build a strong national defense.

This year marked the beginning of China's real involvement in the nuclear industry.

What Chu Zhinian suffered happened before liberation. Even if they racked their brains, no one would suspect it!

Chu Yunting excitedly put his hand on Chu Xin's shoulder. This was the first time he had lost his composure like this since he met Chu Xin.

"Xiao Chu, are you sure?!"

Chu Xin ignored the pain in her shoulder from being pinched and nodded.

"Although I haven't seen what your father looked like back then, it shouldn't be wrong!

I guess your father must have been exposed to some kind of nuclear material in vitro, because he did not ingest any radioactive material, but his own body tissues were damaged by radiation and became diseased.

There is no ongoing release of radioactive material to affect others who come into contact with him.

Therefore, he was the only one who was sick from beginning to end, and such a targeted murder could only have happened when he was alone.

Furthermore, that harmful thing will definitely be taken away immediately, leaving no evidence behind."

Chu Yunting fell to the ground in a trance. The answer he had been looking for for many years suddenly appeared. He didn't know what to feel in his heart!
