BRI - Beijing Reaserch Institute


Scientist Huang Feng is a well known scientist in China. He was a gifted man who developed many things, from cures, sickness, and to new substances. That's why he was given a special task by BRI to study an unknown substance that had suddenly appeared in a Poyang lake in the mountains where a Jiangxi lies. The unknown substance has been causing the animals in the water to turn a weird color of green but most importantly the fishes in the lake are suddenly dying. And their meat can't be eaten at all due to an unknown poison. That's what the head of BRI had said to the media but the truth behind that is much more serious.


It wasn't poison at all that was causing the fishes in the lake to suddenly die nor it is a normal phenomena. The fishes are dying and the cause is unknown but all they know is that it isn't something that should be taken so lightly. So BRI's head scientist Zhao Lei gave Huang Feng the special task to study it, find out where it came from and on how to get rid of it. With a few chosen scientists that is now under Huang Feng's team they set off into another facility which is under BRI that is near the said lake. The people in the area was also put into a temporary quarantine where they weren't allowed to leave their province to go to the cities. So food and water was also provided for them in the mean time. Just until the problem has been solved.


......


It was just a normal day in the Province of Jiangxi, the people are doing their daily activities except no one was allowed to go out to the city. Poyang Lake was also restricted. Having barricades all around it to make sure no one gets inside. Huang Feng along with his team are also inside the barricade. They began getting samples from both the lake water and the different animals in it especially the fishes. The lake water which is contaminated was put in a clean bottle of water while the sample flesh of the dead fish are put in a small glass container. After getting enough samples Huang Feng's team went back to the facility. They can finally start analyzing the samples, testing to see what's really going on and on how the lake got it.


"Huang Feng take a look at these!!"
One of Huang Feng's friend called. Liu Cheng has a shock expression as he look through the microscope. This made the other scientists curious as to what he had saw and why is he so shock about it. So they all began closing in on Liu Cheng trying to also know what's going on but Huang Feng scolded them and told them to get back to work.


"What's going on Liu Cheng?" Huang Feng calmly asked his friend.


"Just take a look at these." Without arguing, he followed Liu Cheng and took a peek into the microscope only to be baffled at what he also saw. What they saw was a weird looking organism that is eating the other organisms commonly found in fishes and also multiplies in a fast rate. With quick minds Huang Feng immediately searched for anything that will give them an idea on what they just saw. It might be a new organism or a very old one that they still haven't discovered yet.


A few days passed with no luck on finding a clue about the organism they just saw. But what's alarming now is how rapid the new organism was multiplying. Yesterday there were only a somewhat thousand of those organisms but now they multuplied into millions. And what's more shocking is when they brought in a few bags containing the dead fish of the lake the fish was slightly moving. Like twitching and so. There wasn't even water in the bags that the dead fish was put into but the fishes started to twitch, some are already moving and all which surprised all the scientists in the small facility.
