"According to this newsflash, a new type of virus broke out in Japan at eight o'clock this morning. The initial form of the virus closely resembles the HTC4 virus from four years ago, hence it has been named the HTC4 mutant virus!"
Such a brief news update sent a shockwave through Xiao Linxin's heart. The HTC4 virus originated in Japan back then, and the outbreak was triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Mainland Japan. This disaster dealt another heavy blow to Japan, which was gradually recovering its economic vitality. The HTC4 virus also originated from Japan, but it quickly erupted in Jingliang Province domestically. It was only later discovered that Japan had kept the HTC4 virus tightly under wraps, revealing the information two whole weeks later than Huaxia. At that time, Huaxia faced unprecedented international pressure because the HTC4 virus didn't just ravage Huaxia; it almost spread to every corner of the world.
