To understand that, Dombey said, you have to go back twenty months. It was around then that a Chinese scientist named Li Chen defected to the United States, carrying a diskette record of China's most important and dangerous : new biological weapon in a decade. They call the stuff "Wuhan-400" because it was developped at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center.
Wuhan-400 is a perfect weapon. It afflicts only humans being. No other living creatures can carry it. And like syphilis, Wuhan-400 can't survive outside a living human body for longer than a minute, which means it can't permeanently contaminate objects or entire places the way anthrax and others virulent microorganisms can. And when the host expires, the Wuhan-400 within him perishes a short while later, as soon as the temperature of the corpse drops below eighty-six degrees Farenheit. Do you see the advantage of all this ?
